Sometime later, when we returned to the garden, several people were enjoying the mild summer weather outside the property. They chatted animatedly and watched children run and play.
I engaged in conversations with some people I knew, mostly relatives of Edward with whom I grew up during my childhood and adolescence. I also encountered some old friends, with whom time and distance had separated.
Soon, Sebastian approached from where I was, displaying a broad smile upon seeing me talking with Maggie, Abigail, and Edward's mother, while Timothy played in the garden with other children.
"Hello, beautiful ladies!" he greeted us enthusiastically. "How are you?"
"Sebastian!" I responded with excitement. "I'm so happy you're getting

EdwardI held the horse's reins more firmly and trotted leisurely toward the grassy field where everyone seemed to be waiting for me to start the friendly polo match.From a distance, I could observe the stern look on Beatrice's face, questioning why she stared at me with so much animosity when just a few days ago, we were indulging in a passionate and heated kiss in her kitchen.I urged my horse to gallop across the green terrain and joined the others on the grassy field, finally joining the guests at my cousin's wedding.Beatrice shot me a questioning look, and I quickly understood the reason for her inquisitive expression."Hello, everyone!" I greeted the people around us with a calm smile. I received various greetings, especially
Rejected by the Tycoon A Significant Decision
BeatriceI was once again in Edward's arms, completely surrendered to his kisses, melting as his hands roamed all over my body. It was wonderful to have him holding me firmly, as there was no certainty that my legs could prevent my literal fall in the face of such eagerness and passion.But at that very moment, the reality of what we were doing insinuated itself through the fog that was clouding my thoughts, and with great reluctance, I pulled my lips away from his."We can't, Edward..." I said, even though our mouths were still too close to each other."We shouldn't," he agreed, but his mouth was once again taking possession of mine.I wished I could be stronger, but Edward's silly smile before kissing me knocked down all my defense
Rejected by the Tycoon Surrendering to Passion
BeatriceThe schedule for the night before the wedding was quite informal and, at the same time, very enjoyable. I was now chatting with the couple of the hour, who radiated happiness. When I remembered my wedding, I felt a pang in my chest, but I decided to push that thought aside for now."Shall we dance?" Elizabeth invited Sebastian at a certain moment.Sebastian gave me a mischievous look and pretended to be surprised by the audacious invitation."Have I mentioned how much I love my bride?" he joked.I could have confirmed that, as my cousin had already shared his passion for Elizabeth with me that same night. But before I could respond, Sebastian took Elizabeth's hand, and the couple headed for the dance floor set up in the midd

AndrewI took one drink after another, trying to bury my frustration. It wasn't the first time I saw her leave that way, and it deeply bothered me. Even with all the problems we were facing, I shouldn't lose sight of her.My eyes frequently sought out Abigail, something that deeply bothered me as well. I tried to convince myself that the fact that she was friends with Beatrice and might have a clue about her whereabouts was the real reason for my insistence on searching for her with my gaze. But these thoughts were dangerous and wrong. I was dating Beatrice, and regardless of the disagreements between us, I owed her respect.Memories of the tumultuous polo afternoon flooded back into my mind. The moment when Beatrice's horse had bolted, left her defenseless and visibly terrified. Even though I had implied that I didn't know
Rejected by the Tycoon A Big Mistake
BeatriceWe lie there for a few minutes, just enjoying each other's presence. Edward takes advantage of the moment to ask the question I was already expecting him to ask. I even considered that he took a bit longer before bringing up the subject."I understand that you're going to end things with that..." He was about to swear but gave up at the last second. "...with Smith.""Yes, I need to do that as soon as possible," I confirmed, albeit somewhat reluctantly. "But I can't do it while we're here, Edward. I just need some time.""Of course, you can end a relationship," Edward insisted, his voice firm. "I don't agree with waiting until marriage to end this ridiculous story between you two. He can very well leave; no one will miss him."
Rejected by the Tycoon Using Common Sense
EdwardTurning down the corridor towards Beatrice's room, the first thing I noticed was her figure, standing in front of Andrew's door, hand raised ready to knock. Her guilty expression indicated that my suspicion that she was planning a nighttime visit to her now ex-boyfriend's room was correct, which left me quite concerned.She saw me and stammered in embarrassment before recovering and saying more firmly:"I'm going to talk to Andrew.""Now!?"Before Beatrice could answer, the door behind her opened, and Andrew appeared, looking irritated and wearing only a fluffy robe. This only heightened my irritation.He rudely questioned, "Any problem with my girlfriend coming to my room at night
Rejected by the Tycoon Welcome Changes
BeatriceMy cousin Sebastian's wedding was beautiful and full of joy, and everyone seemed genuinely happy with his union with Elizabeth. I, too, felt happy, as both are people whom I hold in high regard and deserve to be happy together.The only reason I wasn't fully satisfied that day would be Andrew's presence, something I acknowledged to be my fault. However, to my relief, he left in the morning, and upon waking up, I saw a message from him stating that he understood he wasn't needed that weekend and that it was best to leave before the wedding preparations began.Still, this didn't exempt me from the need to have a "conversation" with him, to make it clear that there was no chance of us continuing together. It was more than evident that we were incompatible, and it was better for us to go our separate ways.
Rejected by the Tycoon Everything repeats?
BeatriceThe return to London took place the morning after the wedding, following a lengthy visit to my parents. Timothy and I would travel back by train."I wish you much happiness, my daughter," Mom expressed joyfully. "Perhaps now is the time to start anew, isn't it? Everything seems different now, in a positive way, I would say."I understood exactly what Madeleine Paggett was referring to, and I didn't think it was right to pretend otherwise. After all, everyone must have noticed the rekindling between Edward and me, even if they didn't comment on it in my presence.Another obvious thing for everyone was the change in Edward. He was noticeably softer and more relaxed, smiling frequently and actively engaging in conversations and activities, without the sarcasm and cynicism that characterized him in previous moments."Thank you for the support, Mom," I said, unabashed. "But Edward and I are just talking. Who knows? We'll take it one step at a time."We said our goodbyes, and Timot

Rejected by the Tycoon New Loves
AndrewAccepting the invitation to dinner at Beatrice and Edward's house was a sudden decision. I felt hesitant, but at the same time, intrigued by the opportunity to rekindle the friendship that had been shaken by emotional issues.Talking extensively with Beatrice in the preceding days brought much-needed clarity. I realized that the weight of trying to win the love of a woman still in love with her ex-husband was a mistake. The friendship with Beatrice, after all, was much more valuable than any unrequited romantic desire.Upon arriving at Beatrice and Maddock's house, I noticed the presence of Abigail, Edward's sister. An inexplicable nervousness seized me, arousing my curiosity. We exchanged glances, and a subtle tension hung between us, something I admit I did not overlook.

BeatriceWe conversed animatedly during dinner, reminiscing about stories and sharing laughter. I looked at my husband, that beautiful man now entirely dedicated to my needs, reflecting on how much our lives had changed since the day I left that house, determined to forget a year of rejection I lived with Edward and pretend that I no longer loved him when in reality, my love for him only grew each day."While Timothy is almost a young man, Archie is just a baby, and Beatrice is pregnant, soon she'll also have her baby in her arms," Sebastian commented suggestively, looking at Elizabeth, and we all eagerly awaited to hear what he would say next, with smiles of anticipation on our faces. "I also want to have a baby, my love."He didn't disappoint us. We all found what he said very funny, and Elizabeth tu

BeatriceToday I woke up with uncontained joy in my heart. As I got ready for work, I found myself smiling at the mirror, my hands gently caressing the slight swell of my belly. I was radiant, feeling a deep connection with the little being growing inside me.Upon arriving at the office, I was greeted with warm wishes from colleagues and friends. Everyone noticed my good mood, and I couldn't help but share the news of my pregnancy with them. Each smile and congratulations made my day even more special.I was heading back to my office after a meeting when I nearly bumped into Andrew. I hadn't seen him in weeks. The way he had exited my life had left me hurt and confused. However, upon seeing him again, I felt a strange calm in his presence."Hello, Beatrice,
Rejected by the Tycoon A Special Gift
BeatriceDespite everything that had happened between us, my heart insisted that I should trust Edward. I decided to trust him in the same way he trusted me. And so, with the security of his love and confidence in his loyalty, I shared about my pregnancy. His happiness was so evident that there was no room to doubt his feelings."We should tell Timothy," Edward said with remarkable enthusiasm."I'll pick him up from school with you," I said, equally excited. "And together, we can share this news with him."Edward agreed immediately, shutting down his computer and grabbing his work folder. We walked together toward the door. Passing by Edward's secretary, I briefly recounted what had happened when I arrived at his office that afternoon."Who are you calling?" I asked, surprised to see him dialing a number on his phone.Edward just waved his hand, asking me for a moment, but he hugged me, keeping me close to his body while making the mysterious call."Mrs. Steve? Yes, it's me," Edward s

EdwardDespite Beatrice choosing a safe distance between us, the fact that we were willing to clarify everything left me satisfied."I haven't spoken to or seen Louise for months, Beatrice, since that night at the restaurant when we reunited, and she acted rudely and disrespectfully toward you. Something I could never forgive."Beatrice seemed about to interrupt me, opening and closing her mouth several times but managed to stay silent, so I continued with my explanation."Today, Louise showed up at my company unannounced, and I received her as I would with any acquaintance because that's exactly what she is to me now," I made a point to emphasize that. "She was seeking strong sponsorship for her modeling career, and apparently, her finances aren't doing well. She thought appealing to me and our history would be a good idea.""And it seems like it worked," Beatrice interrupted with visible irritation. "You were about to kiss each other."I took a deep breath and struggled to keep calm
Rejected by the Tycoon Unpleasant Surprise
BeatriceTo my complete horror, Edward wasn't alone in the room, and the scene before me was, in fact, highly compromising. I was speechless, as I didn't expect to find Louise Orleans in my husband's office."What's going on here, Edward!?"Edward and Louise were standing face to face, with her hands clasping my husband's neck, and he was holding her hands with his own. I was bewildered. What exactly was happening there? Were they about to kiss? The scene denoted an unacceptable level of intimacy."It's not what you're thinking, Beatrice," Edward quickly distanced himself from Louise, removing her hands from around his neck. "Louise was just leaving, right, Louise?"Edward looked at Louise quite eloquently, sugg

EdwardI left home that morning with a wonderful sense of peace and well-being after a family breakfast. Timothy was also radiant."Tell me more about your mother, Timothy. I want to get to know the woman who raised you so wonderfully well. Never forget how special you are to us, Beatrice and me."During the drive to school, Timothy shared emotionally charged details about his mother and life in Kyiv before the war reached the city.When I parked the car in front of the school, Timothy's words deeply surprised me."And I'll be very happy if our family grows, and I get a little brother like Archie."Beatrice and I had never discussed children before; after all, our ma

BeatriceTimothy was ecstatic about the idea of moving to Edward's mansion, which only strengthened my confidence in the decision. Edward invited us to visit the house the next day, keeping the reason for the visit a secret, which made me anxious.When we arrived at Edward's house the next morning, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary that could catch my attention or be the surprise he intended to show us. However, when he led Timothy and me to the first floor of the house, we finally discovered what he had planned."Wow!" Timothy exclaimed, covering his mouth with his hand, his eyes shining with admiration."How beautiful!" I said, equally enchanted.Once again, Edward managed to touch my heart, breaking down the barriers I had
