Serenade of Secrets 8
Hera hailed a taxi that had taken her to a skyscraper building.After paying the fare, she quickly got out of the taxi and appeared to be amazed by what she was seeing now."It seems he lives in one of the famous penthouses in New York," Hera murmured, looking incredibly impressed.Sean had told her that she could enter without contacting him first. This was because Hera had special access to enter the luxurious place, information she received from Sean when they met at the restaurant a while ago.Ping!Assisted by the elevator, Hera waited for the door to open. After a few moments, Sean appeared, wearing only a black hoodie and trousers. Somehow, he looked quite youthful in that attire, appearing fresher and younger."Why didn't you just come in? I told you, didn't I?" Sean asked Hera."It's okay, I'm still not used to it. But some people on the lower floors even offered to escort me here. I felt embarrassed and chose to decline," Hera said.Sean didn't respond to that. "Come in," he

Hera was cleaning some groceries she was going to cook for that evening. She felt quite comfortable because Sean hadn't shown up since they arrived at the penthouse.Ring! Ring!Hera immediately paused her activity and then walked to the living room where she had placed her bag containing her phone.David is calling...Hera frowned as she read the name displayed on her phone screen."Yes, David?""Ah, good. By the way, can you replace Jessy's schedule for tomorrow? She just told me that she can't work in the morning tomorrow, so would you replace Jessy?" Hera paused for a moment. Jessy wasn't usually like this."Okay. So, I have to be there at 7 a.m. tomorrow, right?""Oh, it's okay if you want to come at 9 a.m. or even 10 a.m.""Of course not, that's too late. Don't worry, I'll come at 7 a.m. tomorrow, or even earlier than that.""But, let me know if you're going.""Sure. I will."After that conversation, Hera immediately resumed her activity. She was even a little rushed, consideri

Hera was having her dinner with Sean, who was sitting across from her this time.One thing she dared not do since earlier was to look at his face. Well, how could she? Sean had made her heart race with the hot play they had engaged in the kitchen a while ago.Luckily, Hera still managed to put on all her clothes as before."It seems like I can't stay overnight," Hera said. After all, she had to leave the luxurious place. Her body was feeling quite sore from the day's activities."Why?" Sean asked briefly, then sipped his drink slowly."I have to work early tomorrow morning," Hera replied. She hoped there wouldn't be any further questions or the like from Sean.Sean didn't respond to that. Instead, he rose and left without saying anything.Hera glanced at him for a moment and then sighed deeply. She might not finish her dinner tonight because Hera wanted to go home soon.Her gaze fell on Sean's plate and bowl of chicken soup. Oh, look, the man had even finished his entire dinner. Hera

Hera was lost in thought, completely absorbed in her own mind. She had been cleaning the tables in the restaurant for over an hour."BAAAAAA!!!"Hera wasn’t startled. Instead, she let out a long sigh and glanced at Jessy, who was now staring at her in confusion.“You’re so deep in thought. Did that not surprise you?” Jessy asked as she took a seat next to Hera.“No. I’m just confused. Very confused,” Hera replied, her mind wandering again.“Alright, what’s on your mind? And how’s your mom doing?” Jessy asked.“She asked me to get married. And it was so sudden. But—”At that moment, Hera realized what she had just said. She immediately glanced at Jessy, who was now widening her eyes. It didn’t take long for Jessy to flash a teasing smile at her.“Oh my God, no wonder you’ve been so confused. So, who’s this amazing prince? Have you known him for long? Or have you two been in a relationship for a while?” Jessy murmured, speculating everything.Hera cursed herself for letting that slip. D

Hera was sitting in Sean's luxurious car. Yes, she was there because of Sean. Whatever he had said to David earlier remained a mystery.“You haven’t had breakfast,” Sean suddenly remarked.“How do you know that?” Hera asked in return.“I overheard your conversation earlier,” Sean replied briefly.Hera paused for a moment. Ah, the conversation she had with David, of course. But didn’t she speak softly when talking to David?Lost in her thoughts, Hera was surprised to realize they had arrived at a restaurant. Sean had taken her to an upscale establishment.“We should have breakfast first before continuing,” Sean said as he stepped out of the car.Hera furrowed her brow. Continuing what, exactly?Still puzzled, Hera quickly followed Sean into the restaurant, knowing he would be upset if she lingered.She had already expected the restaurant to be fancy. This man always seemed to surround himself with luxury.“Everything has been arranged. You don’t mind if this breakfast isn’t your favori

Hera was still sitting, lost in thought. Her focus remained on Sean, who was laughing happily with a woman who was undeniably beautiful. She had no idea who this woman was, but the two of them glanced in her direction a few times."Are they talking about me? Right in front of me?" Hera muttered to herself.Moments later, the woman who had been chatting with Sean walked over to Hera and sat next to her. The difference between them was stark—Hera couldn’t help but notice it. The woman smiled brightly at her."Hi, welcome. Sorry for keeping you waiting. Sean was giving me a lecture about that dress," the woman said, leaving Hera confused.The brunette extended her hand. "Oh, by the way, my name is Ellia. I'm going to be designing the dress for you. Sean already gave me all the criteria, and he said it’s based on your preferences?"Hera remained silent, taking in Ellia’s words. What kind of charade had Sean concocted this time?"Ah, I apologize for being so forward, Hera. But I’m thrilled

"Thank you, don't forget the invitation, beautiful," Ellia said as Hera stood up from her seat."I'll handle it, don’t worry," Sean replied immediately.Sean then grabbed Hera's hand and held it tightly."Aww, well, now I'm even more jealous. I hope I find a lover at your wedding," Ellia said, watching them being so affectionate.Sean smiled proudly at this, and soon, he and Hera walked out of the boutique together.Unlike Sean, who was clearly proud of the praise Ellia had showered them with, Hera just smiled awkwardly or kept her head down shyly. Ah, Sean might appear sweet in front of Ellia, but just wait."Well, that performance was quite exhausting," Sean said after getting into the car. He took a deep breath and unbuttoned the top of his shirt.Hera only stared out of the window since the beginning. You could see for yourself how quickly this man's attitude changed when they were alone.Suddenly, Hera widened her eyes as Sean reached out and touched her hand again.She turned to

After they both arrived at their destination, Hera quickly exited the car and made her way toward the hospital, not even stopping at the reception desk."Mom, I’m here," Hera murmured softly as she stood in front of her mother Margaret’s hospital room."Hera, my daughter."Hera immediately embraced her mother. She was clearly delighted by Margaret’s enthusiastic response to her presence."I’m sorry, because—""Mom, there’s no need to apologize. It’s better if you get more rest. There are plenty of TV shows we need to catch up on once you’re home," Hera said, chuckling."Of course," Margaret replied to her daughter.Suddenly, Thomas appeared between them."Ah, Mom, do you remember this friend of mine?" Hera asked Margaret.Margaret looked at Thomas, who smiled warmly back at her."Thomas," Margaret said softly."Yes, Mom, it’s good to see you again," Thomas responded, smiling.Thomas’ gaze shifted toward Hera, who was beaming as she looked at her mother."Hera, do you—""Sorry, I just

Hera was looking around. As promised, they were waiting for Moly, Sean’s mother, who had said she would arrive shortly.“If she doesn’t show up in the next five minutes, we can leave and choose another restaurant for dinner,” Sean said impatiently.“Alright, but it hasn’t been five minutes yet, and we’ll still have dinner, won’t we?”That remark made both of them turn towards the voice. There stood Moly, accompanied by... Viola.Hera froze when she saw the beautiful woman, who had unexpectedly come with Moly that evening. Hera hadn't been informed of Viola’s presence.“Why are you here?” Sean asked, clearly displeased by Viola’s presence.“You should greet me kindly first. We could talk slowly about... our wedding,” Viola responded, glancing at Hera, who stood silently, looking both confused and upset.“Mom, I didn’t even ask you to invite her tonight,” Sean said to Moly.“Shh, enough. Let’s just get ready for dinner. I’m hungry, and you, sit down,” Moly said calmly.After the command

“No, stay there. I’ll get it for you.”Hera had been hearing these words from Sean all day. She still couldn’t quite believe how attentive Sean had become since learning about her pregnancy. To Hera, though, it seemed a bit excessive.“Sean, it’s just a few steps to get my phone. You’re overdoing it,” Hera said.Soon enough, Sean handed her the phone. “I told you, you didn’t have to do that.”Hera smiled and accepted the phone. “Thank you, but really, you’re going a bit overboard.”“It’s my duty,” Sean replied, sitting down beside her.The two began chatting, talking about different things.“How do you feel now that you know you’re pregnant?” Sean asked.“Just dizziness and nausea. That’s all I’ve been feeling so far,” Hera replied. But oddly enough, ever since she told Sean about her pregnancy and received his special attention, especially the gentle touches on her stomach, the dizziness and nausea she had been feeling for the past few days had disappeared. It felt like magic.“I’ve

Sean opened his eyes. He took a deep breath after realizing that he had been asleep.“Oh my, but it felt like I heard Hera saying that I already had it? Did she mean… a child?” Sean muttered to himself.However, when he looked beside him, he saw Hera fast asleep. Sean smiled softly as he came to his senses again. "Sean, it must have been just a dream. Look at you and Hera, you’ve both been sleeping soundly."Checking his phone, Sean saw that it was 3 a.m. As usual, he had woken up at this time. He decided to watch TV again.On the screen was a movie showing a couple kissing passionately. Sean, watching it, tried to hold himself back.“I’d better find another channel while I wait for my sleepiness to return,” Sean mumbled as he started flipping through the channels.Suddenly, his stomach signaled hunger. He sighed deeply and got up from his position.“It’s always like this,” Sean muttered, intending to cook something simple since he wasn’t much of a cook.The kitchen was well-stocked f

After her long conversation with Jessy ended, Hera decided to leave the bathroom. She still hadn’t seen Sean inside."Is he really angry about what happened?" Hera muttered to herself.For some reason, she felt uneasy about Sean. Maybe it was time to find him and apologize.Hera put on an outer garment that was available in the room before leaving. But before she could open the door, it suddenly opened on its own, and there was Sean, about to walk in.He looked at her, but then Hera smiled, "I was just about to look for you.""Go to sleep. It’s late, or are you hungry?" Sean asked.He walked in, followed by Hera. "No. I… I just wanted to apologize for what happened earlier. I think you're right; this is our honeymoon, and I didn’t need to bring up the contract.""It’s fine. I was just overreacting. I’m sorry," Sean replied more calmly this time. Somehow, he seemed very relaxed and at peace.Hera nodded. The situation felt awkward now. "Where did you go earlier?""Nowhere, just took in

Here was Hera, once again lying in her original position. She was even eating her dinner in the bedroom. However, that didn't make Sean angry or upset. Look, the man had been accompanying Hera all this time."Don’t you want to go out tonight?" Hera asked, turning toward Sean, who was watching TV. The man glanced at her for a moment before returning his gaze to the television."Go where?" Sean asked."For a walk, of course. You’ve come all this way, yet you’re just staying in the room," Hera replied."I'm already bored with everything around here, so what's the point of going for a walk?" Sean muttered instantly."Don’t you like the beach? Then, why did you bring me here if you’re already bored of this place?" Hera asked, puzzled.Sean placed the remote control beside him before looking at Hera. "You like the beach. I found out from your mother. I do like the beach, and I figured it would be nice to take you to the Maldives for our first honeymoon destination."Hera was silent for a mo
Serenade of Secrets 43
"Do you want to enjoy the beauty of this beach?" Sean asked suddenly after seeing Hera, who had just finished her activity in the bathroom.Actually, Hera felt dizzy at that moment, but it didn’t bother her too much. "Of course. It would be such a waste if we just stayed in the room after traveling so far to get here.""It’s not a waste. You can come here whenever you want," Sean replied, standing up. He stared at Hera, making her feel trapped under his gaze, unable to move on to her next activity."You could’ve waited for me outside. I just need to freshen up a bit," she started to say."You don’t need to put anything on. It’s just the two of us here. All my assistants are in one place, probably resting, so we won’t be disturbed," Sean interrupted.Hera was shocked. "What? Not put anything on? What do you mean?""Uh, you must be thinking something negative. Hey, I meant you don’t need to wear any makeup or anything like that," Sean clarified.Hera paused for a moment. "Actually, I di

This time, the journey was quite long. Hera had already anticipated that Sean would be busy with his work. But she was actually happy about it. It gave her a chance to relax and focus on her own thoughts.Look at that, Sean was still busy taking work calls. Even the plane they were supposed to board had been waiting for them for a while now, or so the assistant had informed Hera earlier."Are we going to miss the flight?" Hera mumbled to herself, just as Sean finished his call."Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go," Sean said as he grabbed Hera’s hand, which surprised her."Please, Mr. and Mrs. Everything is ready," said one of the house staff as they opened the car door for them."Thank you," Hera replied as she stepped inside, and then the door was closed.Sean looked at her as the car began to move, "You don’t need to thank them. It’s part of their job.""You’ve never thought about how nice it feels to be thanked after working all day. A simple thank you makes me feel appreciated f
Serenade of Secrets 41
Hera opened her eyes abruptly. She wasn’t sure what had caused her to wake up so suddenly. Her gaze was scanning her surroundings."My room. I just remembered that I'm staying at Mom’s house tonight," Hera muttered to herself.She paused for a moment when she heard a noise outside her room, recalling that her room was quite close to the kitchen."What’s that? I don’t think there are any rats in this house," Hera mumbled as she got up. She quickly walked out of her room.There, she saw a figure crouched over, looking at something in front of him. Hera let out a long sigh as she realized what was going on."Sorry, I forgot you were here too," Hera said, rubbing her face briefly before stepping out from her doorway.Hearing this, Sean turned to her and smiled before resuming his search. "Why are you awake?""I don't know, something woke me up suddenly. Plus, it's 2 AM," Hera replied as she approached Sean. The man was still in his position."What are you looking for?" Hera asked."Some i

After hearing the entire story from Thomas, Hera felt that the man still loved Viola. Yes, the beautiful woman he had always admired while they were still in that special relationship."But why doesn't he want to talk everything over with Viola first?" Hera muttered to herself, letting out a long sigh.At that moment, she was at her beloved home with Margaret. After her meeting with Thomas, Hera decided to visit Margaret, who was happily engaged in her gardening activities. At first, Hera wanted to help her mother, but the woman refused, saying she didn't want Hera to tire herself out."How are you, dear? I'm sorry for being so engrossed in gardening," Margaret said suddenly, sitting beside Hera."I'm very well, how about you, Mom?" Hera asked in return."I'm very good. In fact, I'm so happy because Sean brought a lot of flower seeds along with their plants. All of it is quite expensive, and he was willing to search for what I wanted," Margaret replied, looking pleased.Hearing this m
