ICIEST’S POV:As soon as the call went through, I didn’t wait for her to ask anymore and immediately told her coldly, "I am right, there is a mole in the company, which is why some of our information was leaked a while ago, but this will not happen again because I already found who did it."I heard her ask curiously, "If that’s the case, then who is it, the Emperor?"I pursed my lips as my eyes turned colder, and with a disgusted tone, I replied, "It’s Rafaela, so just continue observing all the people in the company because I don’t think that the mole will work alone; there are so many there, and I will clean them up today."I heard her reply, "Yes, Emperor, and since I have discovered some of them already, I will send to you the evidence through email, so please look at it since, if you do so, I will know the next move we will do."I hummed in response and walked back in front of my laptop. I sat on the couch in front of it again and opened my email to check the things that my secre
CALVIN’S POV: He immediately asked me, surprised, "What problem are you talking about?"Maybe when Kiana heard what I said as well, I immediately felt her gaze towards me, and when I averted my attention to her, she also asked worriedly, "Yes, what problem did they mean?"Before I could even answer, Travor asked again, with a hint of curiosity in his voice, "Wait, are you together with Kiana right now?"After that, someone from the other line asked too, "Does Empress have a problem while Kiana is with Calvin right now?"Based on the voice, I am sure that it was Jaycel, so before I could say anything, Kiana answered first with amusement in her voice, "Yes, I am with him right now, and I didn’t expect that both of you are together as well."Jaycel answered, but based on her face, she seemed hesitant as she said, "Actually, we are together today because I need to tell him something important, and I think, after I tell him about it, I will tell you all about it as well, but since the Emp
TRAVOR’S POV:I looked at her and saw that she was still fidgeting as if she were thinking about something important. I frowned at what she was doing and contemplated the possible reason why she was acting this way. Does she want to tell me something?I heaved a sigh and walked towards the seat in front of her, where I sat there silently. I am not used to this silence because I am used to the scene where we are both bickering with each other all the time loudly, like what happened earlier. But now, this silence seems to suffocate me.I looked at her and told her helplessly, "Eat your food first, and whatever problem or thing you wanted to tell me, say those things after we eat."She bit her lips and nodded her head before she took the utensils and started eating her foods in silence, but whenever she looks at me eating the pasta, her face will show disgust as if I ordered something that wasn’t food but a waste. What is happening to her? This was just some pasta, so what's wrong with m
TRAVOR’S POV:I was about to say something when she shook her head, so I stopped as she told me, "As much as I wanted you to know all the things about my past, I don’t want to recall them all anymore because even though I already accepted a long time ago that I will never experience the love of my parents, I also wanted to move on from it, and the only thing I could do now is not to think about those messy things anymore while making sure that my future will be very different from now on."Hearing this, I couldn’t help but look at her worriedly. I also somehow felt sad about this because I have always been the child of two loving parents. My life was almost perfect since I had the wealth, the parents, the house, or the other things that my friends didn’t have. Worst of all, there were also things that this beautiful woman in front of me didn’t experience.Her expression turns solemn as she says again, "Actually, all of us are orphans, and most of us were saved by Ice accidentally due
TRAVOR’S POV:Maybe she noticed my gaze, so she asked me with a hint of confusion in her voice, "What’s the problem with my stomach?"I raise my face and look at her as I ask her hesitantly, "Can I somewhat touch your stomach?"I saw her laugh, and I swear, her eyes were sparkling. The light of the moon went through the window of the car, which somehow shined on her, making it like a halo as she laughed at me with pure happiness, making her look more delicate. Such a scene made me feel warm, and I couldn’t help but soften my expression as I smiled faintly at it. She really looks like an angel.She stopped laughing, but she still had this beautiful smile on her lips as she told me, "You can always do that since it is also your child, and I didn’t make this beautiful angel in my tummy alone."I heaved a sigh hearing this as she leaning her back on the chair to make her tummy more visible in my eyes. I looked at her hesitantly at first, but when I saw her encouraging eyes, I calmed mysel
JAYCEL’S POV:Actually, I was really nervous since the time that Travor dragged me out of the hospital, but I still did my best not to be affected too much, and I somehow succeeded at first. I still had the time to bicker with him and even talk with him, along with both Kiana and Calvin.Speaking of Kiana and Calvin, I really didn’t expect that both of them would become close to the point of being ambiguous. Actually, I am kind of suspecting that one of these days, those two will announce that they are already dating, but of course, I want to hear the news from them personally.One of these days, I will announce my pregnancy to them as well, because I know that they all deserve to know about it, and just in case the war breaks out, they will know that something uncontrollable might happen.I look at the guy beside me as we walk towards the door of their house. Actually, as we are making our way there, I also couldn’t help but to look around and was so impressed by how big their house
JAYCEL’S POV:I looked at the boxes in front of them and smiled awkwardly. Actually, I really didn’t know what to give them on this first meeting, so I chose to call my subordinates to bring these things. While I was on missions before, I also brought back a lot of valuable things, and these two are among them.When the Xercel and I came here to be with the Empress, I also brought all these valuable things with me. I just hid them on the headquarters that we had here in this country to avoid suspicion or being snatched by anyone, just in case.I heaved a sigh and answered his question hesitantly, "Please open them, Uncle, because I choose not to say it unless you see it since these gifts were chosen by me in the last minute, so I hope you will like them."I saw that both of them looked at each other for a few seconds before looking at the boxes in front of them together.I saw Auntie Hanah look at me and smile as she asked, "We will open it now, can we?"Although I was really hesitant
JAYCEL’S POV:Silence enveloped the four of us, so I became even more tense and nervous as I waited for the time when his parents would get over it and say what their feedback was about what Travor said.Actually, I didn’t expect that he would be so frank about marriage; I was just expecting that he would reveal my pregnancy, but because of my nervousness, I didn’t have the time to react to that nor the time to argue.After a few minutes, I couldn’t help it anymore, so I looked to my side, where Travor was sitting, but he wasn’t looking at me but was still looking straight at his parents. However, I notice that his face doesn’t show any nervousness or guiltiness but is so calm. He was too calm to the point that maybe he felt my gaze towards him, so he gently squeezed my hand without looking in my direction.I looked down at our intertwined hands and somehow felt comfortable due to that gesture, so I closed my eyes and secretly heaved a sigh to calm my nerves before opening my eyes and
