ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I groaned loudly as the incessant caller refused to stop calling. Isn't it too early to be calling someone at this hour of the morning?I struggled to open my eyes against the blinding sun, reaching out to grab the phone and answer the call without checking the caller ID."This is way too early to be calling, whoever you are. I'm busy," I mumbled groggily."Have you been drinking? What happened to you?" I heard my mum's voice, prompting me to stand up immediately and check the caller ID."Mum? I'm so sorry, I didn't check who was calling," I apologized."Do you even know what time it is? You were crying over the phone when you called your dad and me. Is everything okay? You scared us last night," Mum yelled.As I checked the time and realized it was already past one, memories of the previous day at the company flooded back, causing me to let out a heavy sigh."Is everything alright, Rosa?" I heard my dad's concerned voice."Of course, dad. You know how I get when I

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★The past few days have been incredibly busy and stressful, with back-to-back meetings and a packed schedule causing me to often come home late but Jeremy always waits for me in the living room, ensuring I arrive safely after work.As I parked my car to grab a coffee before going to work, a sudden crash behind me jolted me out of my routine, prompting me to quickly exit the vehicle and check the source of the noise."Damn it! What have I done this early morning?" I exclaimed as I realized I had collided with the front of another person's car. The driver, a lady, swiftly exited her vehicle to inspect the damage."I humbly apologize for the damage I've caused. How can I compensate for this?" I inquired as a woman in her sixties emerged from the car, likely the owner, while the other lady appeared to be her driver."It's okay, you don't need to pay for anything," she replied calmly before turning to her driver. "Get in the car and let's go." With that, they returned to

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I am still puzzled as to why Jeremy give me hickey on my neck, leaving yet another mark. Standing in front of the mirror, I winced as I touched the spot. His actions that night prevented me from fully enjoying the party and socializing with others."I regret running my mouth that night, he's incredibly jealous," I lamented, wincing in discomfort.I cursed under my breath and sighed as I stepped out of the bathtub, frustrated by the persistent hickey on my neck that had forced me to wear high-necked dresses for the past two days. I cringed at the memory of Gran catching us that night, feeling utterly embarrassed. Despite my attempts to stop him and informing him about Grandma, he only relented when I finally managed to push him away and escape into the room.Today being Saturday, I planned to go out and have a little fun alone since Carrie was away and also visit my mom and dad. I eagerly dressed and made my way downstairs for breakfast."Good morning, Grandma! I'm

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"That's will be all for today's meeting". I ended the meeting with the executive directors and headed back to my office. "Any details on him?"I asked Mike, referring to Jason.Since the time Jason became one of the managing directors of this company, Mike, my assistant has always kept eyes on him on my command."No, Mr Lightwood " He answered."I guess he knows I'm keeping an eyes on him, he must have a plan of being here"I said."What's on my schedule next?" I inquired."You have an international conference call scheduled in 30 minutes, sir," he replied."Miss Clara has already arrived, sir," he informed me, to which I nodded in acknowledgment.Shortly after a gentle knock on the door, Clara entered, where she stood poised in her professional corporate outfit."You asked for my presence, Mr. Lightwood," she stated."Drop the act. I've called you here to clarify some matters," I declared, and she nodded in understanding."I knew you couldn't just summon me, especial

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★Arriving home early in the evening after a successful meeting with the models for the upcoming fashion shows I'll be having, I packed my car and headed straight to my room. Noticing the car Jeremy drove to work was still absent, it dawned on me that he hadn't returned from work yet, while Gran had been diligently visiting orphanages to provide for those in need.As I made my way to my room, the sound of Gran's door opening caught my attention."Welcome back, Gran! I didn't realize you were already home," I greeted her."Yes, I am. How was your day at the fashion house?" she asked."Busy and exhausting, as usual," I replied with a tired yawn."Let me whip up something for you, you look exhausted," Gran offered, but I declined with a shake of my head."I'll manage, Gran, I'm fine for tonight," I reassured her with a smile."However, I can help you with Jeremy's meal since I assume you'll be tired too. Let me freshen up first," I suggested, preparing to leave."Did y

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★Last night felt surreal, almost as if it had been meticulously choreographed, but I was grateful to discover Jeremy by my side in the shadows instead of an unwelcome visitor. I vividly recall my initial startle at the shadowy figure in front of me, only to find relief in realizing it was Jeremy and not an intruder lurking in the darkness, ready to harm me.I remembered the men in the house quickly coming in to apologize to us about the blackout stating it was the whole city and met us in the same position."Go ahead, you can head back," he reassured the security last night. Just as I was preparing to get down, he unexpectedly wrapped my hands around his neck and positioned my legs securely on his waist."What's going on?" I inquired."Didn't you miss me?" he playfully questioned as he ascended the stairs, prompting an eye roll from me."Set me down," I insisted, breaking free and stepping away."I recommend giving me a call before your business trip next time," I s

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I slowly opened my eyes to find Jeremy still peacefully asleep beside me, his scent enveloping me as I wore his shirt. The events of the previous night had unfolded in a whirlwind of desire and lust. One thing I never wanted was to regret what transpired last night, but I was mistaken in my belief that it wouldn't haunt me. My eyes were drawn to my shoulder, where the memories of last night replayed vividly in my mind. The rain from yesterday felt like a veil, concealing the truth of what had transpired. It seemed that this was a shared desire between us, and nothing else mattered."This is merely a ploy to shield the company from Jason's schemes. Most shareholders wants him on my sit for his potential to produce an heir, or once they discover he's married and I'm not. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my reputation," I remembered his words again, his words piercing my heart.Giving my parents gifts wasn't inherently wrong, his actions were clearly designed to

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★It's already the month of Christmas, and as we approach the New Year, it marks a year since Rosalind and I have been together. I promised her that we would part ways quietly, without anyone knowing—even Grandma remains unaware of our decision.I'm still uncertain about my feelings for her, and that's not the clarity I had hoped for; that fateful one-night stand transformed everything the moment I met her, and now we find ourselves on the brink of ending a year together.I recalled the evening when Dad and I had a talk, during which I mentioned that I wasn't in love with anyone, all the while concealing the truth that there was that particular lady that had captured my heart from the moment we met. "Mr. Lightwood, I've already made the arrangements for the business trip to Paris," my assistant informed me, interrupting my thoughts, and I nodded in acknowledgment to what he had said.I have a two-day business trip to Paris that I must attend before Christmas, but my o

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★The good for something alarm blared loudly, prompting a groan as I stretched my arms to silence it. As I lay in bed, the familiar scent enveloped me, and I instinctively reached out, hoping to find him beside me. But when I opened my eyes, reality set in—I was back home, wearing one of his T-shirts. Slowly, I rose to my feet, taking in the comforting yet bittersweet surroundings."No wonder I caught a whiff of his scent," I mused, rising slowly to my feet, a tingling ache in my core reminding me of last night’s events. I covered my eyes to hide the blush creeping up my cheeks and made my way to the bathroom for a hot bath. It was the first day of the year, and the fashion house would be reopening today.After a quick but refreshing bath, I emerged from the bathroom and diligently applied my favorite skincare products, all while slipping into my office attire. Grabbing my bag, I hurried to leave the house."You seem to be in a rush," Gran remarked as I encountered

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★It's the final day of December. The biting cold outside sent shivers through me as I adjusted the thick duvet around my body, yearning to snuggle closer to Jeremy. I rubbed my hands against the bed, expecting to find him there, but Opening my eyes, I was met with an empty space. Glancing around the room, I confirmed its solitude before rising from the bed to check the time—it was only nine in the morning. Slipping into my cozy bedroom slippers, I made my way downstairs, the chill of the day still lingering in the air.I searched his private office, but he was nowhere to be found."You're awake?" Grandma asked, her eyes lighting up as she spotted me."Yes, good morning," I replied, walking over to her in the living room and wrapping her in a warm hug before scanning the room for any sign of Jeremy."Oh, Jeremy isn't home right now; he didn't want to wake you when he left early this morning," she said, her attention fixed on the news."He left? Where did he go?" I a

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★I was lost in a deep, comforting sleep when a voice, one I would cherish hearing every day, gently stirred me awake. As I smiled and turned to her, she sat beside me on the bed and pressed her lips to mine. "Good morning! Come on, get up; we have breakfast to enjoy, and a long day ahead of us," she said, her words brightening my mood. I couldn't help but smile as I gazed at her beautiful, round face. I ran my fingers through her hair, cupping her face as I looked into her eyes, still heavy with sleep."I thought I might spend the entire day gazing at your lovely face, hoping to make you fall for me all over again," I said, my voice still heavy with sleep, causing her to smile with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "Come on, let's have breakfast; don’t forget we have plans for today," she replied, rising from the bed.In that moment, I remembered that the New Year was just around the corner—only two days away. Our whole family would be gathering at Dad's for the cele

JEREMY LIGHTWOOD★"I have a report from Mrs Clara's company," Mike announced as we stepped into my office after my schedule."After a long evening filled with tight meetings, you expect me to listen to a report from Clara's?" I asked and raised an eyebrow after sensing his sudden silence. Sensing that what he had to say was important, I gestured for him to continue as I sat down.“She breached the contract between our company and hers, and she already paid the fine for that breaching the contract,” he said, prompting a chuckle from me.Whatever game Jason and Clara are playing is unlikely in our favor."If she has paid for the fine of breaching the contract, then there's no need to report back to me—just keep a close watch in Jason," I instructed, and he nodded in agreement."Actually, your father would like to see you after your schedule today" He added and I nodded.It had been some time since we last saw each other, following the shareholders' election. I glanced at the clock

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As I slept, I felt soft lips brush against my forehead, the familiar scent enveloping me, prompting a smile as he cuddled me closer. I nestled deeper into his embrace, and he tenderly kissed my hair. "Good morning," he whispered, and I slowly opened my eyes to meet his beautiful eyes."You smell amazing," I said, and his smile widened in response."Would you like to have a taste of me, then?" he asked, his voice dripping with flirtation, leaving me momentarily speechless. "What are you talking about?" I stammered, quickly trying to hide my flushed cheeks as I attempted to get off the bed. But he pulled me back on the bed, his face inches from mine, our noses brushing together as he held my hands above my head."Aren't you going to be late for work?" I asked him, a teasing smile playing on my lips."Well, I could easily spend the whole day with you," he replied, and I leaned in, stealing a quick kiss before grinning at him."Do it again," he urged, his eyes sparkl

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★"Mr. Lightwood, your immediate attention is required at the company," his assistant interjected, urgency lacing his voice as he interrupted us, prompting us to pull away from one another."What’s going on?" I inquired, noticing the tension in his expression as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration."I'll be back; just wait for me," he replied, and I instinctively grasped his hand, unwilling to let him go."No, tell me what's going on," I urged, my voice laced with concern as he let out a heavy sigh."The shareholders have caught wind of our contract we signed, and they want both Jason and me at the company to vote on who will take over as CEO," he explained, and my heart sank."What are you saying? Oh God!" I gasped, biting my lip in anxiety."It's going to be okay. You should stay here; I'll be back soon," he reassured me, but I tightened my grip on his hand."No, I'm going with you. I’ll wait for you there," I insisted, and after a moment of hesitation

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★As I stepped off the plane, I pulled my luggage behind me, the night air wrapping around me like a blanket. The flight had taken the usual eleven hours to reach the city.After leaving the airport, I stood outside, scanning the street for a cab. Just as one pulled up in front of me, I heard a familiar voice calling my name—Jeremy. I turned to see him weaving through the crowd, determination etched on his face as he made his way toward me.I swiftly stowed my luggage in the trunk and slid into the backseat, relaying my destination to the driver, who immediately started the engine and pulled away. As I stole a glance at him, I noticed the fury simmering beneath his calm exterior. I couldn't help but marvel at his patience for waiting at the airport until I finally emerged. Upon arriving at Carrie's house, I settled the fare and retrieved my bags, then approached the door, pressing the bell and knocking insistently. When my calls to her went unanswered, I felt a s

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★I was still taken aback by Jeremy's silence regarding my reaction as I left his embrace that afternoon; it was clear he felt no anger as we went from place to place together. "Where are we headed?" I asked, noticing the motorbike parked in front of the house, complete with two helmets.He mounted the bike and grabbed a helmet, handing the other one to me with a confident smile. "Hop on and trust me," he urged. It was getting late already, with a resigned sigh, I carefully climbed onto the bike and secured the helmet on my head. He gently pulled my hands around his waist, and as he ignited the engine, we sped off to an unknown destination. The fresh breeze whipped against my skin, prompting me to tighten my grip around him, a mix of excitement and uncertainty coursing through me. We pulled up to a sleek building where two men awaited his arrival, and as he engaged with them in fluent French, my curiosity piqued about the nature of their conversation. "How is he

ROSALIND LIGHTWOOD★ The past two days have been somewhat dull since Jeremy attended his meeting, leaving me at the mansion to address Lauren's questions about dresses and other matters, as well as to respond to emails each morning and receive calls from Carrie. I quickly threw on a button-up shirt and headed downstairs. Although Jeremy and I had been sharing a bed for the past two days, he often returned home so late that I hardly noticed when he came in. With no one else around to tend to the garden, I grabbed the hose and watered the plants myself. "Good morning," I heard Jeremy's voice behind me, and as I turned to face him, I couldn't help but notice the way his black shirt hung open, revealing his sculpted chest and chiseled abs. I swallowed hard, astonished that his office attire concealed such a striking physique. "You don't mind if I stared at yours too," I heard him say, jolting me from my thoughts and forcing me to glance down at my own outfit. A wave of emba
