Arabella's POV

After everything that happened, I didn't report anything to Sean or Alex, the head of my division. The other employees were also unremarkable despite seeing Rachel's treatment of me firsthand, except for Chloe, who tried to comfort me and keep me company.

The woman handed me a cup of homemade coffee, which I immediately drank to calm myself down. The cold temperature and sweetness made me sigh of relief and return my focus to listening to Chloe's words. "She's gone too far, Bella. Are you still not going to report it to Alex? She'll solve the problem quickly."

I shook my head, putting down my coffee cup to look at her with a small smile. "I don't want to make a scene, Chloe. Just let them be like that. I can still take it."

"You're really good, Bella." She let out a breath that sounded heavier than mine. "I might have cried or even fought with that woman because I was too upset. How can the first thing you receive when you get to the office be a scolding? I won't even b

    Arabella's POVRachel furrowed her brow even further, taking my threat as a bluff, and just looked at me mockingly. "What have we done to you? You started all this yourself. We were defending ourselves."The women nodded, agreeing with Rachel's twisting of the facts. Some other employees were quietly whispering, but too softly for me to hear."You were the one who grabbed Jennifer's hair first, then poured water on her on purpose." One of the women said, inflaming my actions that were initially an act of self-defense.The woman next to her nodded. "Look, her makeup is a mess. The clothes she was wearing were also soaked. Do you know how much all these clothes total? You have to compensate!"They were getting noisier and trying to corner me, but I pointed at myself, who was already feeling the stickiness all over my body from the water and sugar solution. "Here! You see? Jennifer poured the drink on me first. I was the one defending myself, not you."Chloe had already cleaned my face w

Rachel's desk.Some employees still looked surprised and immediately allowed Sean to pass quickly. I could see that they seemed uncomfortable with the man's sudden presence, stopping the commotion almost at its peak."It's a mess in here. What did you guys do?" Sean asked again, staring at the water splattered on the chair from my splash on Jennifer, as well as from the sleeves of the blazer I was still wearing.I was still trying to remain calm, feeling somewhat relaxed as the women had finally retreated to Rachel's side and were no longer interested in my phone. Liam and my other friends also retreated to give Sean more space.I know I'm still the new kid on the block, b

    Arabella's POVI looked at Rachel's face, which looked incredulous at the answer Sean had given me. Everyone else there was the same, their expressions showing their ignorance of what was going on between the CEO of their company and a new employee like me."Bella, what is the meaning of this? Why do you and Mr. Sean seem to have known each other for so long?" She asked back and forth. "What should I do?"Chloe looked confused, asking questions in succession and alternately looking at me and Sean, who was now stepping closer. I patted her hand lightly a few times for her to let go."I'll explain later, Chloe. Sorry." I said briefly, having to set my heart to get through this well.Sean had already allowed me to escape this troublesome situation without asking, so I also had to adapt quickly and take advantage of my lover's kindness."You-how could you be so rude to Mr. Sean?" Rachel asked, shouting at me when Sean was very close to me.From the faces of the woman and most of the emplo

    Sean's POVArabella and I were now in my room. She doesn't seem to be shaking anymore and is now wiping her blazer, which still looks damp. Her hair, which she had previously put up in a ponytail, was now letting down so that a few drops of water immediately wet the floor.She looked guilty, looking at me while looking at the floor. "Sorry, Sean. Your office is full of water droplets from my hair and clothes.""It's alright. I can ask someone to clean it up later." I said, going over to my desk to get an unused handkerchief from the drawer, then returning to Arabella and wiping her face gently. "Are you cold? I'll get you a blanket in the meantime. Sarah is buying new clothes for you."Arabella shook her head, smiling a little while holding my hand that was wiping her face earlier. "I'll wait until your secretary arrives. Thank you, Sean."I nodded, watching Arabella wipe her neck with my handkerchief before going to her hand. I remembered that from the footage, the woman had shown me

    Sean's POVI paused, confused by the words Arabella had just said to me. "Do you regret saying that in front of the others?" I asked.Arabella nodded, looking sullen and trying to hide her face behind my suit. "I told you that I wanted to hide the information about our dating, but in the end, I told you everything myself."I still felt confused, feeling that the fact that we were dating was known to everyone in the company was not a big deal to me, but I tried to understand Arabella's words for a few moments. I didn't want to interrupt her.She looked at me, looking like she was about to cry with her mouth line still pointed downwards. "I'm like a child, no different from those women who only dare to talk about me in groups, Sean.""I wanted to behave professionally until the end, but they've also gone too far in bothering me when I've been working well. I would've been too quick to retaliate and make a scene like earlier."Arabella paused, then quickly shook her head, muttering in an

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

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 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

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.

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.

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

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
