Mia’s POV –
I wasn’t supposed to notice.
But I did.
I saw it in the meeting—the hesitation, the flicker of uncertainty in Carl’s usually sharp eyes.
At first, I thought it was just his usual arrogance, his way of making people squirm before giving them an answer. But the more I paid attention, the more I realized—Carl Oswald wasn’t just being cold.
He was struggling.
It hit me like a slow-burning revelation, the pieces falling into place one by one.
Carl never addressed anyone by name in meetings.
He relied heavily on voices and body language.
And just earlier, when the finance director had spoken, I’d seen it—a brief moment of panic in his eyes before

The Mystery of ColorCarl’s POV –I knew something was off the moment Mia stepped into my office.Her voice was steady, professional as always, but there was something beneath it—curiosity.She was testing me.And I didn’t like it.I kept my expression neutral, my eyes focused on the report in front of me.She stood there, waiting."Mr. Oswald, I added a section on projected expenses. If you need further clarification, let me know," she said evenly.she was careful with her words, too careful.She was watching me.I could feel it.So I did what I always did—I pretended not to notice."Noted," I replied, flipping through the pages without looking up.

A Dangerous RivalTashi didn’t like change.Not when it threatened what was supposed to be hers.Carl had always been the same—cold, distant, and untouchable. She had spent years getting close to him, understanding his moods, knowing what made him tick. She had built a place for herself in his life, whether he acknowledged it or not.But now, something was different.And the reason had a name—Mia Jasper.Tashi had brushed Mia off at first.Another nobody.Another woman Carl wouldn’t waste his time on.But lately, she had seen something unsettling—Carl was paying attention.No, not in an obvious way. Not in a way most people would notice. But Tashi knew Carl. And she knew when something was occupying his mind.

Tashi’s Investment StrategyCarl’s POVCarl sat in his office, fingers drumming rhythmically against his desk, his mind heavy with distraction.The visit from Tashi the previous day had left a bitter taste in his mouth.She had been too familiar, too comfortable—as if she owned a piece of him.But that wasn’t what bothered him the most.It was Mia.Or more specifically, the way Tashi had spoken to her.Carl had noticed the exchange, the silent power play.And he hated that it bothered him.He shouldn’t care what Tashi thought of Mia. He shouldn’t care about any of it.Yet, here he was, thinking about it—thinking about her.Damn it.He pushed the th

Unseen and UnheardMia’s POVI stared at the investor reports in front of me, but the words blurred together.I wasn’t focusing.No matter how hard I tried, my mind kept drifting back to her.Tashi.The woman who had threatened me on my wedding day.The woman who had humiliated me at the boutique.And now, the woman who flirted with my husband in front of me, as if I didn’t exist.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms.Carl hadn’t even stopped her.He had just let it happen.Like it was the most natural thing in the world.Like she belonged by his side.And I… I was just an outsider.I should hav

The Ghosts of the PastCarl’s POVThe city was silent at this hour. Only the faint hum of the wind outside the window filled the room.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Sleep never came easy.Not for me.And when it did, it came with a price.I exhaled slowly, rubbing my temple. The exhaustion was there. The weight of the day pressed down on me.But my mind refused to rest. And I knew why.The nightmares were waiting. They always were.I must have drifted off at some point because suddenly, I was there again.In the past. I knew this nightmare well.It always started the same way. The smell of rain in the air.The sound of tires skidding against wet pavement.And th

A Taste of the Past(Mia’s POV The kitchen was warm, filled with the rich aroma of spices and simmering broth. I hadn't planned on cooking this morning—I never did except in the office given the army of chefs employed to cater to Carl's every whim. But something about today had left me restless, and after my conversation with Carl weeks ago, I couldn't shake the thought of his eating habits from my mind.I had woken up thinking about it. The way he had sat there, poking at his food, lost in thought. The way his voice had softened just the slightest bit when he spoke about his mother’s cooking.I wasn’t sure why, but I found myself drawn to the kitchen, beside it was weekend, no work today, moving on instinct rather than conscious thought. The staff had been surprised when I asked them to leave, but they didn’t question me. Now, as I stood over the stove, stirring a pot of soup, I felt an odd sense of calm.Cooking had never been something I did often, but I wasn’t terrible at it.

(Carl’s POV The taste lingered on my tongue long after I had left the dining room.It was impossible. It had to be a coincidence.But as I made my way down the dimly lit hallway, my hands clenched into fists at my sides, my mind refused to let it go.That dish—my mother’s dish—had been made exactly the way she used to cook it. The seasoning, the texture, the way the broth settled on my tongue… It wasn’t just similar. It was the same.I hadn’t tasted that in years.Since she died.My breath was tight in my chest, a feeling I hadn’t experienced in a long time. It wasn’t grief. No, I had buried that years ago. This was something else. Something unfamiliar.I swallowed hard, trying to push down the memories threatening to rise.I told myself to forget about it. To ignore the way my body had stiffened when I saw the dish. The way my fingers had trembled when I took the first bite. For just a moment, I had felt something dangerously close to comfort.I don’t need comfort.And I'm sure as h

Mia’s Small Victory(Mia’s POV I never expected him to eat it.When I set the plate in front of Carl earlier, I had already braced myself for rejection. He was predictable in his cruelty—cold, dismissive, and always looking for ways to make my life unbearable.But tonight was different.Tonight, he ate my food.And not just that—he froze.For a split second, his sharp, unreadable eyes widened as if I had knocked the air out of him. He had stared at the plate like it held some kind of memory, something powerful enough to break through the walls he had spent years building.It had been brief. Almost imperceptible.But I had seen it.And I felt it.Now, as I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, my heart was still racing.It wasn’t just that Carl ate something I made—it was how he ate it.For the first time since we were forced into this arrangement, he hadn’t glared at me with that cold, detached expression. He hadn’t pushed the plate aside or made some biting remark about my place in his

Hans’ Discovery(Hans’ Personal Point of View)I never believed in fate.Coincidences, sure. But fate? That was something weak people clung to when they needed an excuse for their choices.And yet, as I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the small, delicate hairpin in my palm, I couldn’t ignore the weight of the realization crashing over me.This was Mia’s.And I had seen it before.Not just recently. Years ago.It had been tucked away in the back of my wardrobe, inside a small, forgotten box I hadn’t touched in years. The moment my fingers brushed against it, something in my mind snapped into place—a memory that had been buried so deep, I hadn’t even realized it was missing.A memory of her.Of that night.And suddenly, everything I thought I knew came unraveling before my eyes.I had been drunk that night.Not the kind of tipsy that made you laugh at everything, but the kind where the world blurred at the edges, and thoughts no longer made sense.The party had been loud, chaotic

Hans’ Curiosity Deepens(Third-Person Point of View)Hans Oswald was not a man who believed in coincidences.Everything in life followed a pattern—an equation waiting to be solved.So why was it that the sight of a single hairpin had set off a nagging feeling in his chest?He had been watching from a distance as his father humiliated Mia, and for the first time, he had felt something close to pity for her.Mia had always carried herself with an air of quiet defiance, a subtle strength that made it easy to overlook her struggles. But when their father, Richard Oswald, had torn into her with sharp words, she had looked… small.It had surprised Hans.Not because of his father’s cruelty—Richard had always been ruthless—but because of the way Carl had stepped in.Carl had defended her. Not as his assistant. As his wife.That alone had been shocking. But as the heated exchange settled, Hans’ gaze had landed on something unexpected—the delicate silver hairpin tucked into Mia’s dark locks.H

The Unraveling Threads(Third-Person Point of View)The air in the office was thick with tension. Whispers rippled through the employees like an unstoppable current, their eyes darting between Victor Oswald, Carl, and Mia. The moment had passed, but the weight of it still lingered.Hans Oswald stood frozen in place, his mind struggling to process what had just unfolded before him.He had seen his father angry before, countless times, but never quite like this. Victor was a man who prided himself on control, on discipline, on calculated anger. Yet, when he had lashed out at Mia, there had been something more—a deep, unfiltered contempt.It unsettled Hans.But what shocked him more was Carl’s reaction.His brother—the ever-proud, ever-distant Carl—had defended Mia. Not as his assistant. Not as someone beneath him.But as his wife.Hans couldn’t believe it.Carl had spent every moment since this arranged marriage treating Mia like an unwanted burden. He had ignored her, belittled her, t

The Weight of His Words(Mia’s Point of View I couldn't move.I couldn't think.Carl's words kept ringing in my ears, over and over, like a broken record."She is my wife."My body felt frozen, standing in the middle of the office floor, with eyes still on me. Whispered conversations filled the air, the weight of their judgment pressing down on me. I wanted to disappear.Ashley’s smug face wasn’t so smug anymore. She was glaring at Carl’s office door like she wanted to set it on fire.Good.At least something about today wasn’t completely humiliating.But my heart still ached.Not just because of what Victor Oswald had said to me. Not just because of the coffee-stained humiliation.But because Carl had defended me.And I didn’t know why.What Did It Mean?Carl had never stood up for me before.Never.He had made it his mission to remind me, every single day, that I was a mistake in his life. That I didn’t belong in his world. That I was nothing but an inconvenience.So why… why now?
Faceless Love with Mr CEO The Unexpected Defense
(Mia’s Point of View)I should have seen it coming.Ashley had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and today, she found it.I had been moving carefully, balancing the tray with Carl’s coffee, trying to focus on anything but the argument we had last night.His words still lingered in my mind."You’re nothing but an inconvenience in my life."I knew he didn’t mean it. Not after the way he looked at me. Not after the way his body tensed when I mentioned the colors.But knowing that didn’t erase the pain.And now, as I walked toward his office, trying to shake the memory, Ashley’s voice cut through my thoughts."Watch where you’re going, sweetheart."Before I could react, her elbow slammed into mine, sending the tray flying.Time slowed.The hot coffee spilled through the air before splashing down—not on the floor, but on the one person I had never expected to see today.Carl’s father.Gasps filled the office floor.Employees froze, their eyes darting between me and the man now

Mia’s Confrontation with Carl(Mia’s Point of View I had been patient.I had been silent.I had swallowed my pride, endured the cold glares, the sharp words, the constant reminder that I was nothing in his world.But tonight—tonight, I snapped.Carl had always been unkind to me, but lately, it had gotten worse.His indifference had turned into something sharper, something more deliberate.One moment, he would ignore me completely. The next, he would find the smallest excuse to criticize me.My presence irritated him.Everything I did seemed to bother him.And I could take it—I had taken it for weeks. But what I couldn’t take was the way he kept pretending.Pretending like he didn’t see me.Pretending like I didn’t matter.And yet, I knew he was lying.Because I caught him watching me when he thought I wasn’t looking.I noticed how he drank the coffee I made every morning, even when he never asked for it.I saw how his gaze softened for a split second when I brought him dinner, only

Carl’s Internal Battle(Carl’s Point of View I didn’t believe in fate.I didn’t believe in accidents either.Everything in life had a cause, a reason, a pattern. That’s how I had learned to navigate the world—by controlling what I could and shutting out what I couldn’t.But now, something was wrong.Mia.I saw her in color.And I had no logical explanation for it.For as long as I could remember, faces had been a blur to me. A disorder, they called it—prosopagnosia—but I had long since stopped caring for labels.I learned to live with it.I memorized voices, movements, the way people carried themselves. I didn’t need to see details to understand who someone was.But my world was gray.Everyone was the same. Shadows. Outlines. No color.Until her.Until Mia.The first time it happened, I thought it was a mistake. A trick of the light.But it wasn’t.It kept happening.Every time I looked at her, I saw more.The deep brown of her hair, the warmth in her hazel eyes, the soft blush of he

Mia’s Growing Influence(Carl’s Point of View I never liked changes.Routine was predictable, controllable. I knew what to expect, how things worked, and where everyone belonged. That’s how I kept my life in order, my emotions in check.But then she happened.Mia Miloslava Pankraz.My unwanted wife. My unexpected problem.She was supposed to be nothing more than a contract—an obligation. Yet, somehow, she was everywhere.And worse?I was starting to notice her.It started with something small.My coffee.I was particular about it—strong, just a little sugar, no milk. No one ever got it right. Not my previous secretaries, not my staff, not even Tashi, despite her years of working with me.But one morning, as I sat at my desk, drowning in files, Mia walked in and placed a cup in front of me.I barely looked at her. “I didn’t ask for this.”She didn’t flinch. “I know. Just try it.”I frowned, but the smell of it was familiar. Too familiar.I hesitated before picking it up and taking a

Tashi’s Growing Rage(Third-Person Point of View Tashi Matsuda had spent years by Carl Oswald’s side, believing—knowing—that she was the only woman who truly understood him. She had been patient, watching from the shadows, waiting for the moment when he would finally see her the way she saw him.But that moment never came.And now, it never would.Because of her.Mia Miloslava Pankraz.The woman Carl barely tolerated. The woman he was forced to marry. Yet, somehow, he was protecting her.Tashi had expected Carl to treat Mia like an obligation—nothing more. But instead, he was defending her. Subtly, perhaps. But still.It was enough to drive Tashi to the edge.She had wasted too much time waiting for Carl to come around. If he wasn’t going to acknowledge her, if he was going to let Mia take what should have been hers, then she would take everything from him.And she knew exactly how to start.By turning to the one man who had just as much reason to hate Carl as she did.Hans Oswald.
