Sean’s PovI've been staying at Arabella's house for the past few days. It felt a little strange living in someone else's house, even though I had been friends with Dallas for a long time and Arabella was my girlfriend, but I was not used to the atmosphere of their house, which was much more closed and did not have a large yard like mine.I complete my work online, whether it's meetings or meetings with clients that Sarah helps me with. Even though I said I wasn't comfortable in this house, that didn't mean I wanted to leave Arabella now and not spend time with her, especially when Dallas kept following me everywhere I went."Did you go from brother complex to stalker?" I asked Dallas with a hint of annoyance, able to see him leaning against the bathroom door of my room while I was brushing my teeth.Dallas shrugged, pretending to be ignorant. "Could be. I just wanted to make sure you weren't alone with my sister without my knowledge.""Why don't you just follow Arabella? Are you out
Sean’s Pov"S-sean!" Arabella spoke in such a shrill voice that I pulled my hand away hurriedly while she pulled up her deliberately unbuttoned sweater with a flushed face.I could feel my face turning red, especially when remembering how soft Arabella's breasts were that I had touched just a moment ago. I unconsciously swallowed and looked away, unable to immediately speak about our current situation.Arabella and I didn't look at each other even though we were still walking close together, feeling awkward since it happened in a public place. Thankfully, no one else was around us as we were the last to exit the room, leaving only the cleaning staff inside and a few other people when we arrived at the front.I exhaled, relieved we managed to get through the incident quite well. I glanced at Arabella, who still wouldn't look at me, and mumbled very quietly, "Are you okay? Sorry about that, Bella. I didn't mean to."Arabella immediately looked at me and shook her head. "I know. You were
Sean's povI took Arabella to breakfast at the hotel restaurant for a quick checkout. She looked exhausted, but I put my arm around her waist so she wouldn't have trouble walking to our table. A waiter came to ask us what we'd chosen before leaving.I looked at Arabella, leaning back and playing with her cell phone, then returned to holding her waist as she sighed. "Does it still hurt?""A little, but it's okay." Arabella smiled soothingly, but I quickly approached her, intending to give her a massage directly. "Sean! We're still in a public place." She whispered in panic when I sat next to her and touched the back of her waist suddenly.I rubbed her lower back gently, not caring about Arabella's panic as long as she could be comfortable during breakfast. "I just want to massage you, Bella. Where does it still hurt?""A bit to the left... yes, up a bit. There, hm...." She sighed softly as my massage began, bending down slightly so my hands could better massage the areas she wanted.I
Arabella’s POV"Just home?" Dallas greeted us at the front door. Looking sour with her arms folded. "I've called you several dozen times, but none of you have picked up. Are you guys on purpose?"I sighed. Having just returned from a walk, I was treated to his endless nagging. I showed the paper bag I had been carrying and gave it to Dallas. "A souvenir for you. Move aside, I'm going in."What?" He sounded confused, but I managed to push him into giving way and stepped inside. I wanted to get to my room before Dallas continued his tirade. "Here...."I could hear Dallas opening the gift I'd quickly prepared and then turning my head silently to see his reaction. I had thought he wouldn't look at me, but now he seemed so happy to see me. "What?" I blurted out even as I saw his face light up.Dallas immediately came forward to hug me without me being able to stop him. "I love you so much, Bella." He patted my back before releasing our embrace while I hurriedly picked up my interrupted oxy
Arabella’s PovAfter spending a few hours traveling by car and crossing the city border, I finally arrived at the place I had missed the most in this city. The beach. The first place Sean showed me when we met for the first time."Slow down, Bella." Sean reminded me not to run on the deserted shoreline, away from the other patrons and the café where I worked. Our shoes had been taken off and placed some distance away so as not to get wet.I slowed my pace even as I kept walking there, feeling the wash of the small waves that blended with the sand. Sean finally caught up with me and took my hand. We walked together while enjoying the breeze that smelled of the sea.I looked at Sean with a smile, remembering something. "Do you remember our first meeting, Sean?""Hm? Of course." Sean gave a small snort with a smile. "I remember that moment very clearly like it was yesterday."I laughed as I shook my head, still unable to wrap my head around Sean's indifference to his surroundings. I, who
Arabella’s PovSean immediately grabbed me tighter and kissed me deeply, exploring my mouth as his hands began to unbutton the shirt I was wearing, one by one. I tried to do the same, but he became impatient and undid them all first."You always drive me crazy, Bella," Sean said softly before kissing me back, slowly pushing me onto his bed that felt warm and full of him.I took a breath when he pulled away, turning his gaze to my cleavage and touching it. I closed my eyes, trying to hold back a sigh as the combination of his warm mouth and tongue was on my breasts, teasing, while his hands were on my back to hold us closer together.I touched Sean's shoulder shakily as his touch descended slowly, touching my stomach and then the inside of my thigh, which almost made me wince. "S-sean...."The man kissed my private parts, which already felt moist from all the touching done earlier. I sighed uncontrollably, holding the lining of Sean's bed covers tightly to give him a grip when his tong
Arabella's POVI check my appearance in the mirror before going downstairs for breakfast. It's been a few days since Sean asked me to work for his company. Today is my first day, and I'm feeling excited and nervous.I've bought some more formal clothes to wear to work, ensuring I have two pairs of suits in neutral colors in my closet while the rest are in pastel colors with no patterns to give variety to my outfit. I also bought a dress, but I'll wear it when I've worked longer at Sean's office.I can't wait to work again after such a long time, especially in a field that differs significantly from my previous job. There will be many new things I can learn, as well as new coworkers who will undoubtedly be more diverse than before."I hope I can do a good job and make other friends like Mel there," I mumbled in the mirror and went downstairs.Sean was already waiting at the dining table while Emi was organizing our plates that had already served breakfast. "Good morning, Bella." The ma
Arabella's POV"Hi, Bella?" A man stared and asked me questions, looking friendly as he approached me. I was a little slow to recognize him as the employee accompanying me when introducing myself to our team, the bracelet on his hand immediately reminded me.I smiled back and extended my hand. "Yes. "Nice to meet you in person, Alex.""Me too." Alex smiled wider, releasing my hand once we had shaken hands for a moment. She grimaced. "You're so much prettier than your picture that I was a little hesitant to greet you earlier."I snorted a laugh, appreciating his sincere-sounding pep talk. "Thank you.""Come on, follow me. "The others are waiting inside." Alex led me toward the glass door that slid automatically when the man stuck his identification card in a device attached to the door slats.I walked behind the man, breathing again as Sean had taught me when I faced a large room with several rows of cabinet-sized desks and employees at work. They all looked busy but fixed their gazes
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
Arabella's POVBefore I knew it, time had flown by. 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. She had been watching me get made-up and was looking at me as I was receiving lipstick on my lips. "I didn't expect that you, who has always been kept out of reach of men, would be getting marr
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
