Sean's POV

I was in my home office, making sure the dismissal of the women went smoothly and correctly. They should all still be in the office after what happened earlier. I called my secretary, who was immediately connected.

"How was the dismissal? They were all present and received the dismissal statements in person?" I asked.

Sarah said yes. "They were all present, sir. The personnel division also did not give you the severance pay you requested and only gave you a letter of dishonorable discharge."

"Good." I smiled dispassionately, hearing my secretary's report on the woman who had been rude and abusive to Arabella.

They very much deserved the dismissal.

I heard my secretary relaying the words of the personnel division. The head of the division confirmed that the troublemaking women would have a hard time finding jobs with this problem.

"Getting a job with a letter of dishonorable discharge will make it difficult for them, not to mention the internal problems they've been having a

    Sean's POVArabella and I walked out of the house, feeling the sunshine and tranquility of the morning that we didn't usually encounter on our way to work. She took my hand, strolling down the front of the beautiful yard with some flower bushes and ornamental plants.I wasn't someone who liked plants personally, but thanks to Emi's suggestion a few years ago, I could now see Arabella's smile when she touched one of the flowers that had recently bloomed. She looked amazed and didn't stop cooing happily"Look, Sean. This flower is beautiful." Arabella said, pointing out a thousand-finger-sized flower with white petals.I felt that Arabella was much prettier, but I only nodded in agreement, so she returned her gaze to the flower. Complimenting every flower she touched and smelling to see if there was any natural fragrance to them.I smiled, feeling happy just looking at her smile all morning. She looked at some of the other plants as we walked, taking pictures of the ones she thought wer

    Arabella's POVI rushed to my room as soon as my walk with Sean ended. I picked up my cell phone, feeling excited to call Wanda to tell her what we had just talked about. I didn't want to keep this happy thing to myself.Within moments, Wanda picked up my call with her usual excitement. "Bella! How have you been?""I'm good," I replied, still easily startled by my friend's voice that seemed to pierce my eardrums if I didn't put my phone away first. "You good too?"Wanda was heard snorting. I could imagine her hand gesture that suggested she had nothing interesting to talk about as she said. "The usual. I work, eat, sleep, repeat." She sighed."What about you, Bella?" Wanda suddenly sounded excited again. "I'm sure you have something to talk to me about if you call first. Try telling this to your friend."I was silent, hearing Wanda's mediocre activities. I was reminded of the problems I had when I worked in the office for the first time."I've been working the last couple of weeks too

    Arabella's POV"Wait a minute, Sean!" I returned his call and opened my closet to grab a swimsuit.I quickly went downstairs, heading towards the pool with excited steps. Sean was already waiting for me by the pool, making me smile and walk over to him. "Morning, Sean.""Afternoon, Bella," Sean replied, smiling guiltlessly because I woke up later than him. I pouted but then chuckled to see him doing a little attraction on the pool's surface.He unknowingly diverted his attraction by splashing the pool water on me, who was still standing on the edge. Still, I immediately replied to him by moving my feet and making him exclaim in surprise, pretending to be annoyed."You still wake up early even though it's a holiday, Sean," I spoke, stopping my antics and sitting on the pool's edge to familiarize myself with the water, which felt quite cold.Sean swam over to me. I could feel his breath on my thigh due to our closeness. "I'm used to it. It's hard to stay asleep when you open your eyes i

  • My brother's Best Friend Made Me a Sinner   Back To Work

    Arabella's POVI still entered the office first, as usual, not wanting to make a scene in the morning like the past few days. Even so, I could feel the awkward and somewhat avoidant glances of some people when I was in the elevator. I tried to ignore her.Not only that, some of the employees in my division's room also seemed more quiet and just focused on working. They were no longer as crowded as they had been when I was still being mistreated by those women, as if something was holding them back from doing anything when I was around.A few empty benches marked the different members of the accounting division from before. The best employee plaque previously displayed on one side of the wall was gone, as were several frames with photos of the women from various office events."Good morning, Bella." Chloe greeted me, breaking my reverie and smiling as she arrived. She placed her handbag on the table and took out her coffee supply to ask me. "You want some, too?"I shook my head, not fe

He whispered when we were in the elevator.Despite his confusion, I returned Sean's beaming smile, but I didn't question him anymore, so I followed him to the car. He drove the car quickly, passing through the city center until it arrived at a magnificent restaurant in front of us.A parking vet took Sean's place, and we quickly walked into the restaurant, which was dominated by ivory, white, and gold. I widened my eyes when I saw several diners in fancy clothes queuing to get inside.I checked my own clothes, which didn't seem to match the atmosphere of the restaurant we were visiting. "Is it okay if I wear work clothes here?" I asked, standing on tiptoe so I could whisper to Sean."It's fine. You look beautiful as always, Bella." Sean complimented me, which made me blush.The queue got shorter and shorter until it was my turn and Sean's. A staff member checked Sean's order code after he answered her question. He called out to a waiter who would se

I realized more and more how much I liked that woman.To me, Arabella is adorable. Not only was she beautiful, kind, and could do anything when she learned it, but her behavior towards me was very different when she was with other people."I want to propose to Bella, Dallas," I said over the phone that the man had just picked up.I was currently at work, but I took the time to call Dallas to discuss this critical matter. However, I couldn't forget that Arabella was the sister of the man I was on the phone with.Dallas coughed, his voice sounding strained as if he was holding back anger. "What did you say you want to propose to my sister so soon? "You're crazy.""I'm not crazy. I did say that I would marry her someday, didn't I?" I asked Dallas a question, trying to remind him that what I said was true.I never lie, and

    Sean's POVI got off the elevator when I arrived at the office floor of the accounting division where Arabella worked. The atmosphere outside the room was still quiet as many employees were seriously working, including that woman.I found Arabella sitting between the two employees I recognised as her closest coworkers. Her gaze looked severe, so I didn't go into the room to call her like a few days ago."You don't want to go inside, sir?" Sarah asks.She looked confused as I was standing behind the room's glass door and was noticed by several employees who had already seen my presence, except for Arabella and her two friends.I shook my head, not taking my eyes off Arabella, who was frowning and reading through the printed document, checking the parts that seemed to need revision. "No, I don't. I'll stay here."Arabella had earlier asked me not to move her to another position. My lover said that she understood her job well and that the replacement for the woman who had been her evil b

He nodded and smiled, confirming my words, which were not lies.I turned to look at my friends again, feeling somewhat disappointed by their reaction. "Why do you guys seem to not believe what I'm saying?"I had even mentioned this to Chloe first, but he reacted like the rest of my companions when he heard my previous words.On the other hand, I also appreciated my friend for not sharing my story carelessly, even with Clara, her twin sister.Still, I frowned slightly while the woman seemed to be smiling apologetically. On the other hand, Clara was still busy comparing Liam to Sean, so she didn't care about what I said about our relationship.At that moment, Sean intervened by saying to my colleagues. "You don't need to doubt. The things Bella said about me are true." The man backed up my words, making them no longer look surprised, though still somewhat confused."What m

He delivered the things I'd asked for perfectly, so I complimented him while he showed off how hard he'd worked to find all the things I needed."It wasn't too hard to find the snacks you wanted, but the embroidery took some time to do." He explained. "You know that Adele is old, so she taught me by example. I'm really good at copying what she makes quickly."I just nodded with a smile, accepting that Dallas' words weren't entirely true as the embroidery still wasn't very good, but I appreciated his efforts and his leaving, which had given Sean and me a chance to be alone while he was gone."Thanks, Dallas. Where are you going?" I asked as he quickly organized his other belongings instead of staying at our house as usual.He sighed heavily. "I have a job waiting for me.""Oh?" I looked surprised, though I could hardly hide my pleasure that the 'Days without Dallas' could continue for longer. "You're going into town again?"Dallas n

    Arabella's POVIt had been seven months since my wedding to Sean, and it was only a few weeks until I went into labour. I stroked my belly, which had grown to almost twice my size, but my baby remained calm, a far cry from the two men in front of me who were feuding.They had been arguing for a while about where I should stay when I gave birth to my long-awaited baby. Sean, of course, wanted me to live with him in our house, but Dallas didn't like that and suggested something very similar to himself."Bella and the baby should stay with me for the first month." My brother said with determination. "If necessary, you can also come over occasionally, but I don't want you living in my house with them."Sean looked annoyed, letting out a breath that was so long it didn't sound like it was going to end. "Dallas, Bella is my wife, and the baby is my chil. There's no way I'm letting them stay at your house when we already have a house together.""So? I want them to stay a month at my house. Y

He grabbed the end of the veil, flashing a smile as big as mine as he draped the veil over the tiara I was wearing, and then took my waist into his arms.I could feel the thrill of knowing what he was about to do and closed my eyes. The touch of his lips was soft, kissing me as we breathed and then opening my mouth with the help of his fingers. We kissed deeply and long until the applause from the guests was heard, as well as the excited cheers that made Sean and I stop our kiss.Our warm breath was faintly visible together, and then I lifted my gaze to look at Sean, who was also looking at me. We exchanged smiles again, knowing each other's feelings that we were both thrilled and happy with the wedding that finally happened that day."I'm so happy, Sean," I whispered t

The preparations for my wedding with Sean were ready, and we were now at the building where our special once-in-a-lifetime event would be held.I had been looking forward to this day since Sean said he would propose to me, and it finally arrived in the blink of an eye. I had seen the decorations that Sean and the wedding organizer hired with a little help from Dallas.Everything looked amazing, even though I could only see briefly. Everything is no less, even more than what Ellie and Nick prepared for their engagement ceremony.I was sitting in front of the mirror, assisted by two people who took care of my makeup during the wedding ceremony that would last into the night and make me into the bride I had always wanted to be.Wanda was with me.

The man let me in first and closed the door before asking me for his sister."Let me carry her to her room, Sean." He said, extending both his hands towards me, but I refused to let Arabella out of my arms.She was already comfortable. I didn't want her to be woken up by her brother's unreasonable request. "No need. I just need to go upstairs to lay her down. Thank you for opening the door.""I opened the door because I wanted to scold you."Dallas was already blocking my path to our room upstairs, almost reaching the stairs had the big man not been standing in between.I stared at the man, unafraid of his threats, which I had experienced many times during the time Arabella and I had been secretly dating until now. He always wanted to interfere even though his sister said he never liked it, as well as our agreement from the hunt, which

We walked among the beachgoers who were still arriving until late in the evening, and then headed for the less crowded side of the beach that was littered with a few shells stuck in the sand."I found one here, Sean!" I smiled broadly, pointing out the shells with beautiful-looking shells.The man approached, nodding approvingly as he took a long look at the shells I was holding before showing me the inside of the small bucket he was carrying. "Check out mine, Bella.""Wow, why are there so many?" I looked at Sean in disbelief when I saw that the number of shells he had caught had already reached half the contents of the bucket. "One, two, three... ten? You cheated!"Sean laughed. "I didn't cheat, the part of the beach I visited earlier did have a lot of them. I've only taken a few.""I'll go there then."I took Sean's hand, approached the beach that the man had explored earlier and shifted slightly to a place that he hadn't touched. He said that when

    Arabella's POVI sat next to Sean, watching him take care of our wedding online by talking to the wedding organizer he had recently contacted while Dallas checked on the process of building our wedding hall in person.After my pregnancy checkup, they both agreed not to let me handle the wedding and told me to rest. Both of them didn't want me to get tired and asked me to pay attention to their busy lives."This is your first pregnancy, Bella. "You don't have to take care of the hassle like us, but take care of you and your baby during these preparations," Dallas said, reminding me again before leaving this morning.I was going to protest, but I also realized that my sister's words didn't hurt. "Can you take care of this alone?"I was a little worried because he acted quickly to take over the wedding affairs held by Sean before, while Sean took over my part. I only remembered that the construction of our wedding hall was already largely underway.Sean hadn't allowed me to see the progr

    Sean's POVI swallowed, trying to listen to the words of the doctor who explained what Arabella should do for her pregnancy between the sharp eyes that didn't stop looking at me."Miss can take the supplements downstairs. This nurse next to me will take you." The doctor ended his explanation with a shady smile.We said goodbye to the doctor before following the nurse to pick up Arabella's supplements. I was trying to remember what I should do to help my beloved during her pregnancy, so I forgot about the threatening figure in front of me."You!" Dallas unhesitatingly grabbed the neckline of my T-shirt and pulled me hard. His piercing eyes clearly showed his desire to kill me when we arrived at the hospital's lower parking lot."You animal! You're not even married to Bella, Sean!"I said nothing, knowing that there was no point in adding oil to the fire that was raging before me. My neck felt constricted, but I still had room to breathe, so I didn't try to protest.Arabella tried to st

"When did you plan this?" I asked."A few days ago, it seems or yesterday? I've asked Nick for a favour so we can rent the place right away for the next week." The man seemed relaxed explaining it to me, but it surprised me.I looked at him intently. "You said... one week?""Yeah, is it too soon for you?" He asked, instantly looking worried after hearing my question.I shook my head. On the contrary, I was feeling very excited about the timing of our imminent wedding, not in a month, but even less than a week when a few days had passed.I had initially been dreading this kind of fast-paced wedding, but after talking things over with Sean for some time and meeting Tya to make the dress I would wear when I got married, I felt our
