Early in the morning, I was surprised. For my safety, I agreed with Yohan that I should have bodyguards. For now, I'll take a break, stay home, avoid going out, and refrain from working for a while.

"Is your stomach hurting? Is that why you left the event so suddenly, Setta?"

I almost spit out the juice I was drinking when my sister, Geneva, asked that. She had visited me in my office at Warren Empire, saying she had good news to share. I'm happy for my sister because Dad finally agreed to let her continue her studies in fashion design. Geneva went through a lot of struggles before Dad finally gave in and allowed her to pursue her dream.

I'm genuinely happy for her, especially since I can see that she truly loves her husband.

Geneva was extremely worried about me, wondering why I had suddenly disappeared from our event at the new Warren Empire hotel. I still remember that night when I saw Geneva and Sylvie in the hall. I told them I was going to the restroom, but I never returned beca

    "How are you and Zion, Cosette?"I paused mid-bite when Dad asked me that. I was visiting my parents since it had been a while since I last came over, and I missed both Mommy and Daddy. They still didn't know what had happened to me, and I had no intention of telling them—I didn’t want to add to their worries.I forced a faint smile and answered, "We're good, Dad. On Monday, we're going to Spain. His cousin is getting married, and he wants me to go with him."Dad nodded and continued eating. I glanced at Mom, who was already looking at me. We exchanged smiles.After dinner, Dad asked me to follow him to his office. He looked deep in thought, his usual serious expression even more intense than usual. Once inside, he turned to face me with an unreadable look."Zion has already signed the partnership contract between Allen Company and Warren Empire. I'm confident that by next month, we'll be leading in the rankings, and more investors will follow," Dad said, his tone businesslike.I wasn

    "Señorito! ¡Nos alegramos de que esté aquí! [Sir, we are glad that you are finally here!]"I was pleasantly confused by the words of a man who approached Yohan and me as we disembarked from our private jet. I wasn’t sure how long our journey to Spain had taken, but I knew it was a quick flight, and we had arrived late at night. Several men approached us, accompanied by bodyguards stationed around the area. Our private jet had landed in an open field, not at an airport."Es bueno verte aquí, Vasco. [It’s good to see you here, Vasco,]" Yohan said to the man in front of us, smiling.Unable to contain my curiosity, I tugged at Yohan’s shirt, causing him to look at me with a raised eyebrow, as if asking what I needed."What are you guys talking about? I can’t understand anything, Yohan. Why don’t you speak English so I can join the conversation?" I asked him.He chuckled. "We were just greeting each other, Cosette," Yohan replied.Yohan wrapped an arm around me and turned back to the man h

    "Finally, we've met again, my cousin.""Congrats in advance on your wedding tomorrow, Juliette," Yohan said with a smile to his cousin.After waking up and getting ready, Yohan and I left our room and headed downstairs. His relatives greeted us immediately, including his cousin Juliette, who was getting married the next day."Thank you, Yohan. I'm so glad to meet your beautiful esposa! It's nice to meet you, Cosette," Juliette said warmly, embracing me.I learned that she was Aunt Elise's daughter, and her brothers, Dante and Charles, were also there, along with their cousin Max. Despite his busy schedule and the distance, Yohan had made the trip for his cousin's wedding. Juliette was the only girl among the five, and they treated her like a princess, so they all had to be present for her special day.Wanting to give Yohan time with his cousins, I chose to join Aunt Elise in their grand kitchen to help with preparations for the evening meal. Even though they were distant relatives of

    "You may now kiss your bride!"The church erupted into applause as the newlyweds, Juliette and her husband, Colton, shared their first kiss. Yohan and I sat side by side, me in a pink gown and Yohan in a tuxedo. After the initial kiss, the couple had a photo session inside the church. Many guests attended the wedding, as Lachlan was also a businessman, and Juliette had a large extended family.After the church photoshoot, we headed to their wedding reception at a private resort. I was surprised to see some famous local celebrities—faces I usually only saw on TV. Yohan explained that Juliette had many friends in the entertainment industry because she was a fashion designer.At our table, Yohan was deeply engaged in a serious conversation with his cousin Max, who was also his business partner. Not wanting to interrupt them, I simply smiled and stood up when I saw Juliette and Colton approaching.As soon as Juliette and I got close, I hugged her, and she hugged me back."Congratulations,

    Yohan is genuinely in love with me. He loves me! Am I dreaming?Yohan was about to kiss me again when I pushed him away. It all happened so fast—I needed assurance.I wouldn't allow this to be just a prank or a dream. I'd throw a fit!"What?!" he asked irritably, as if annoyed that I had pushed him away.See? He's scowling at me again! I thought he said he loves me. Shouldn't he be sweet to the person he loves? But Yohan hasn't changed."You love me? I don't believe you. You're just pranking me!" I said with a frown, looking at him."Prank? What kind of word is that?" Yohan asked in confusion, furrowing his brows."You don't know what 'prank' means?" I asked, unable to believe it."No, but I do know the words 'I love you,' so shut the fuck up and let me kiss you again."Yohan kissed me again, his lips capturing mine as he grabbed my waist. His kisses felt different this time—tender, as if he was afraid of hurting me. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.A

    Last night was amazing. Yohan and I couldn't get enough of each other, and we ended up staying awake until the early hours of the morning. We might have even outdone the newlyweds, Juliette and Colton, on their honeymoon. But honestly, I didn’t mind—I enjoyed every moment with Yohan, even if I can’t walk properly now."Yohan?" I called out, and he looked up at me.I leaned against his chest while he played with my hair. His eyes were closed, his face relaxed, and I couldn't help but smile. My husband looked so handsome and peaceful in this moment."Yes, baby?"There it was again—that ‘baby.’ He’s been calling me that since last night. He always comes up with different nicknames for me. First, I was a weirdo, then a little kitten, then mi esposa, and now baby. Yohan must really enjoy giving me nicknames, and honestly, I find it adorable and endearing."Aren’t we going home tomorrow?" I asked, pouting slightly.Yohan had mentioned before we left for Spain that we wouldn’t be staying lon

    We returned to Los Angeles, and after coming back home, Yohan and I grew even closer. We talked more, shared more moments together, and constantly held each other. I never imagined we would reach this point—where I could truly feel Yohan’s love for me. Although I still had some doubts, the happiness of being with him and my love for him outweighed them."This is your second time getting a birth control shot, Cosette. Do you and your husband have no plans of having a child?" my doctor asked.I took a deep breath as we finished the procedure. I had come in for my routine checkup and another shot since the three-month period was up. I didn’t want to skip it—I was committed to this decision. Even though Yohan loved me, I wasn’t ready for pregnancy. Not yet. I knew that if he found out, he would understand.I needed to work on myself before I could even think about becoming a mother. There was still so much I had to learn. When I did have a child, I wanted to give them everything—without a

    "You went to your sister?"I paused while getting dressed when I heard Yohan’s voice behind me. I had just returned from Franklyn’s company, and our conversation had taken longer than expected. I hadn’t told Yohan the truth about meeting Franklyn because I didn’t want him to get jealous or angry. I’d find the right time to tell him that Franklyn was my best friend and that I couldn’t distance myself from him—he was the only friend I had.I turned to Yohan, gave him a small smile, and nodded."Yeah. I just checked on Geneva because she’s leaving for Paris next week to continue her studies," I replied.Geneva had received an invitation to study at a prestigious fashion school in France. It was a huge opportunity for her, and she had eagerly accepted it. She would be leaving next week. In truth, I hadn’t gone to see her today since I had already visited her yesterday. But I told Yohan I had, just to avoid further questioning."Good for her. I’ll shower now. Want to join me?"I blinked, j

    Cosette’s POV"Yohan, what are you doing! You're drunk!" I said to Yohan and pushed him away, but he just clung to me tighter.He looked up at me again and raised an eyebrow. He caressed my cheek and grinned."I'm not drunk, Cosette, just a little buzzed. I know what I'm doing right now, and I'm claiming what is mine.""W-What—"Yohan kissed me again on the lips, this time with a hint of urgency. He deepened the kiss, and I found myself holding onto his hair and kissing him back. I slightly parted my lips, and he immediately slipped his tongue inside, teasing mine. I gasped as I felt Yohan's hand travel to my waist and slip inside my shirt.

    Cosette’s POV"Is my car still not fixed, Herbert? It's still relatively new, I just bought it. It's strange that it's breaking down so soon, especially since it's not a second-hand car," I said to him.He volunteered to have my car fixed, and it's been about four days now, but my car still isn't fixed. I feel sorry for my son, who always has to take a bus to school, and sometimes I have to book a cab for them so that his nanny doesn't have a hard time. If it still isn't fixed soon, I might just buy a new car and choose the newest and brand-new one."Do you really need a car, Cosette? I can buy you one," Herbert said."Oh my god. Stop it, Herbert! I can't let you do that again, especially with expensive things

    Cosette’s POV"Herbert, you don't need to do this always, okay?" I said to him as I got out of his car. He escorted me home because my car broke down, and it's difficult to find transportation.I'm embarrassed with Herbert because ever since he found out that my car broke down, he's been picking me up and dropping me off all the time, and it's embarrassing because he's the son of my boss. He's the one who helped me find where to fix my car, and until now it hasn't been returned. Since I found out that he's the son of Mr. Ronan Calloway, I've been formal with him, and he doesn't like it."Cosette, you're the only one I know in the company, and we're friends, right?"

After my conversation with Yohan last night, I also sent him away from our apartment because Johiel and his nanny needed to return. Yohan didn't want to leave yet, insisting that I tell him that Johiel is his son, but no matter what he does, he can't make me admit it."He's just an old friend, Pretty boy," I told him with a smile.Johiel frowned even more as he continued to look at me. "Your old friend, but you didn't tell me!"I paused in feeding him and narrowed my eyes at Johiel. "Why do you seem upset

She quickly approached us with a cloth in hand."Yes, Ma'am Cosette?"I handed her the food I brought for Johiel."Could you take Johiel out for a while? Take him to the park first. There are a lot of people there now, and there's some show happening. Take Johiel there and bring these snacks I bought for him," I instructed Johiel's nanny.She quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, Ma'am."I walked over to Johiel and smiled at him."Pretty boy, go with Nanny Jun for now, okay? Take a walk outside, there's something important I need to discuss with Mr. CEO," I said affectionately.Johiel nodded, still looking serious as he gazed at me. "Okay, Mommy Cosette."Johiel went with his nanny. They left through the door, and I watched their departure before closing the door and facing Yohan. He looked at me seriously, and I could feel the anger in his reaction now. I felt extremely nervous again seeing his sharp gaze on me."He's your son?"I swallo

Just leave your Mommy Cosette alone for now, she's probably just daydreaming.""Is that what happens when someone's daydreaming, Papa Franklyn?""Yes, Pretty boy. Watch, later she'll have written a whole story and suddenly it'll be published as a book!"I took a deep breath and silently pulled at myself. It's Saturday today, so I don't have work, and it's been four days since I last talked to Yohan. Our house is back with us, and it's now under Mama's name. She was so happy when I told her we got the house back, and she said she'd book a flight to come

    Cosette’s POVWhy did Yohan bring me here to the hotel? What are we going to do here, and we're even meeting in the royal suite. Couldn't we just meet in the lobby of the Warren Hotel, or maybe in the restaurant? I felt a bit nervous."Ma'am, this way please."A staff member escorted me to where Yohan was waiting for me. I called Franklyn and told him I would be late getting home, and I also spoke to Johiel. I didn't tell Franklyn that I was meeting Yohan now because I'm sure he'd tease me again when I get home.We stopped walking, and we were in front of a room, and on its door, there was a golden crown. This is how the royal suites at the Warren Hotel are; they really stand by the word ‘royal’ be

My work starts soon, and for the meantime, we're still staying here at Franklyn and Iris' place. We're moving to our own place next week. I've already chosen an apartment near my workplace, and it's currently being painted, so Johiel can't move there yet."Who's been calling you? That's been happening since yesterday, huh! Do you have an admirer here in LA?" Franklyn asked me again.I quickly took out my cellphone from my pocket when it rang again. My eyebrows furrowed when I saw his name on the screen. I rolled my eyes and quickly turned off my phone, then gla

    Cosette’s POV"It's nice to see you again, my little kitten." I couldn't help but roll my eyes when he called me 'little kitten' again. Was he ever going to stop giving me nicknames? He kept calling me all sorts of things, even if they made no sense. Next thing I know, he'll start calling me names of dogs or some other kind of animal out of nowhere.I just walked into his office and made my way to the chair near his table, sitting down facing him. My expression was serious as I looked at Yohan, who was still smiling at me."Okay, let's talk about the house, Yohan. I know you have an idea why I'm here today, that's why you called me yesterday, right? We want it back, my mom and I want it back," I said seriously, still looking at him.Yohan and I locked eyes for a few seconds, neither of us wanting to look away. After a minute, he broke the stare and chuckled softly. I couldn't help but furrow my brow as I looked at him. What was so funny? Has this guy gone crazy?"Straight to the poin
