Della's POV "Get your hands off of her!" To say that I was totally wasted was an understatement. However, when I heard Kylians roar, I immediately sobered up. I sat upright and looked at the door to see him standing there. He was fuming mad. If we were in some cartoon, he'd have fire out of his
Della’s POV My heart skipped a bit as extreme anxiety filled my heart. “That’s enough! Stop arguing already!” I immediately intervened in fear that Albert wouldn’t be able to stop himself and reveal my true identity. As I still couldn’t stand up, I just turned my gaze toward Kylian and intensely

“Nancy, I’ll continue that. You can go for now,” Albert said as soon as he went. “But…” Nancy tried to protest, but Albert intervened again, “I have something to talk about with Della.” Nancy was left with no choice but to bow her head in respect and leave the room. As Albert said, he continued f
‘Not while I’m here,’ I silently vowed to myself, feeling my heart clenched with pain.“Della!”I was jolted back into reality when I heard Albert’s booming voice echoing in my ears, paired with Aaden's hard tap on my shoulder.Blinking a couple of times, I was shocked by everything I was thinking a

Kylian’s POVI didn’t know when or how it started, but it had been like this for years. The name Flora had become like a stubborn splinter stuck in my heart. Every time I heard it, a sharp, burning irritation would curse through my being.Taking a deep breath, I turned around and sent him a sharp ga
She went silent for a while, and I saw her demeanor changing through the monitor.“Do you understand?” Henry pushed through.“Yes…”“Just escort them safely. That’s your sole purpose in meeting them,” he said sharply.“Yes, I’ve escorted them out safely–”Henry looked at me as if to see if I was alr

“You know, I’ve always wondered… what kind of history do you have with Mr. K? He’s not someone who takes notice of people easily,” she asked.Merely tilting my head and feigning mild amusement, I asked with a raised brow, “Shouldn’t you be asking him that question instead?”How would I know what’s g
