Sean's POV

I 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

    Arabella's POVI looked at my friends, who again looked surprised by my confession, while Sean looked unremarkable. 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

    Arabella's POVI was completely taken aback when I saw that the person calling us from the car was Dallas. The man seemed excited, but I turned to look at Sean to see if he was aware of my brother's arrival.I'd never heard that he was coming to town."Did you know he was coming here?" I asked, instantly checking the truth of the man's words from the expression on his face.Sean shook his head, looking as clueless as I was. "He didn't say anything to me yesterday or this morning." He quickly clarified. "We did talk about our wedding a few days ago, but he asked us to come, not the other way around."I was about to say something else to Sean, but I could hear the sound of a car door opening and then closing quite loudly and approaching footsteps. I turned my head to see Dallas sliding his glasses down the centre of the collar of his T-shirt and putting his hands in his pockets as he stared at us."I'm here because that boyfriend of yours said he was going to marry you, Bella," Dallas s

    Sean's POVI selected a drink from the storage shelf and brought the bottle to Dallas, placing it roughly on the table the man was intentionally occupying. It made Dallas give me a sharp look, but I returned his gaze just as strongly.We were now in the small bar, one of the special rooms in my house and enough for several people to drink at once, but until now only ever known to Emi, Nick and of course the man pouring himself a drink.Arabella doesn't know about this place yet, but I'll show her this bar when we get married. I smiled to myself at the thought but came to my senses when Dallas stared at me in silence."What are you thinking about?" Dallas asked so sharply that I cleared my throat and shook my head."Nothing."I quickly changed the subject, uncorking the bottle so we could get a drink to accompany our session."You're giving Bella and me a hard time, Dallas," I said, opening our conversation after Arabella's frustration erupted in the office.We went home soon after, le

    Sean's POVWe had breakfast together at the dining table. Arabella completely ignored Dallas and only paid attention to me as usual, but before coming down from her room, she was already ready in a neat-looking outfit. Today was the weekend. Therefore, it was unlikely that she would be working like I did at home."You're leaving with Dallas, right, Bella?" I asked Arabella very quietly, making sure, but not wanting her to find out about our conversation that wasn't looking at each other.Out of the corner of my eye, I could see her shrug her shoulders nonchalantly and reply to my whisper. "I don't know. I'll see his attitude later."I paused, not knowing what to say, with Arabella's indifferent reply. She was still angry at me and Dallas for making plans without her, but I couldn't do anything about it because it was her sister's wish."You should have persuaded Dallas first before persuading me." That's what she said when I talked about the reason to my boyfriend and persuaded him to

  • My brother's Best Friend Made Me a Sinner   Finding Arabella

    Sean's POVI put on my jacket and got into my car, driving quickly to find Dallas and Arabella. The man didn't pick up his phone, and neither did Arabella."Where are they?" I mumbled to myself, waiting for the traffic light to change colour before I could get back on the road.They couldn't still be at the amusement park since it had closed hours ago on a weekday like this. I ended up heading to where they were most likely to be. The airport.I drove the car again, passing through the city centre until I entered the vast airport area. I parked the car and ran towards the departure gate of the domestic plane. I was a bit disoriented because I ran too fast inside."Are they here?" I mumbled.I took a breath, looking at the board displaying the flight schedules. After looking again and again, I confirmed that there was no name of the city where Dallas lived listed there, but I didn't leave right away.Many people were waiting for their flights at the airport, but I tried to look for Ara

    Arabella's POVI felt my face redden when I heard Sean's words that sounded sexy to me. I involuntarily swallowed, still holding on to the man's neck when he finally lowered me onto the bed in a sitting position.I was confused but didn't say anything and let the man do whatever he wanted. Sean was now straightening the folds of the skirt I was wearing before resting his head on my thigh, taking a deep breath as he closed his eyes."Are you feeling better?" I asked, touching his forehead, which seemed to glisten from the drops of sweat and the light above us. I reached for a handkerchief to gently wipe his forehead, as well as the side of his face.Sean shook his head, finally opening his eyes to look at me. "I'm still angry.""Why? Didn't you tell me yourself that I should have fun with my brother today? Dallas also said that you promised not to interfere." I said, looking at him, who still looked sullen with one hand on his forehead."You always keep me informed if you're going anyw

  • My brother's Best Friend Made Me a Sinner   Walking In Threes

    Arabella's POVWe went to the beach in the morning, wearing casual clothes that felt comfortable to walk around in. The beach was quiet. Not many people had arrived yet, so it was just me, Sean and Dallas here.I originally just wanted to be alone with Sean, but my brother had apparently also woken up and intended to follow us even though Sean and I wouldn't let him."Would you rather I come along and let you guys do whatever you want or let me go, but I can catch up and ruin your date?" Dallas spoke, looking both relaxed and threatening.I chuckled, annoyed that he was using such a sneaky method, but I didn't feel too upset because my walk with him yesterday was quite enjoyable. He also, unknowingly, made Sean feel jealous, so we had sex after a long time.Dallas had already folded his arms and raised an eyebrow, giving me an annoying look. "How? "Which one do you want, Bella?""You come along," I said briefly.I was now holding hands with Sean while Dallas followed us behind. As pro

    Arabella's POVAfter spending some time at the beach, we were finally on our way home. Dallas drove, alternating with Sean, who drove us when we left, while I sat in the back.I unconsciously fell asleep, tired after hearing their commotion at the beach earlier. Although they didn't say anything rude, the two men's voices were so close to my ears when they were arguing that it made me feel a bit dizzy.After a while, I felt someone tapping my shoulder lightly and said in a soft tone. "Bella, wake up. We're home." Sean's voice.I opened my eyes, looking at the man who smiled after seeing me awake, and pushed aside my hair that had moved to the front of my face while I was asleep. Dallas chuckled softly as he blocked his view."Please return to your seat properly, Sean. I still have to park the car." He said rather curtly.I let out a disappointed sigh when Sean's hand slipped away, and we had to wait until the car was fully parked before we could get out. "Already?" I asked in the same

    Arabella's POVDallas returned home three days later. 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

    Arabella's POV"Now, Mr. Sean and Miss Arabella, please give each other a kiss to solemnize this marriage," the priest said to conclude our wedding procession.I felt so happy when I looked at Sean from behind my veil. 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.

    Sean's POVDallas was waiting for our return. He opened the door for me and saw me holding Arabella, who had fallen back into a deep sleep in my arms. 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

    Arabella's POVSean took my hand. 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

    Arabella's POV"We're going to have our wedding at the same place as Nick's, but I'm going to expand it again," Sean said when we arrived home after our walk.I still felt tired, but I eventually pushed that feeling aside to listen to Sean's explanation better. "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
