Sean stared out the window that framed his office room. His posture looked stiff with dark eyes like a storm of emotions covering his handsome face. One hand held the cell phone while his free hand was hidden in a pocket. There was a look of impatience chasing around his aura.
The cell phone in Sean’s hand rang. He waited until the third ring before answering and greeting the man on the other line.
“Oh, Mr. Reviano!” said the voice that came from the cell phone in hand. “Why are you calling? So unusual,” the voice quipped.
Sean gnashed his teeth. This was the reason why he didn’t want to deal with the impunity of humans. These people always felt superior to those who obeyed the rules and paid taxes regularly.
“I want your help,” said Sean with a tone of suppressed anger that had been fostered since the conversation with Altha.
There was long silenced across the line. If it were
A few days ago …Sean was standing in front of an inn with a large sign on it that written Cherry Blossom.From where Sean was standing, he could see into the waiting room of the place. Once again Sean looked at the address the mystery man had sent.Correctly written with the name of Cherry Blossom along with the name of the street and a map of the location, according to where Sean was standing.He walked inside.A bell rang from above the door as he stepped into the lobby. A young man raised his head when he heard the shrill sound of a bell ringing, signaling that visitors were passing through the door.“Welcome to Cherry Blossom,” said the young man with a smiling face, welcoming Sean’s arrival.A strange feeling pinched Sean’s heart when he saw the handsome man standing in front of him. An image of Via always with the man all this time, made Sean’s face flat instantly. A sharp gaze w
Still a few days ago …Daren had just come out of the room when he saw Sean who was walking in a hurry, and stopped in front of him as soon as they were side by side.“I can’t attend the meeting, I have things to do outside. I’ll leave all the schedules with you, Altha will give you the details of the meeting I left behind,” Sean explained, sounding hasty, making Daren look suspicious, because his best friend had never behaved like this.“What is it?” Daren asked in a worried tone.Sean was about to say something but his lips pursed again.“Nothing, I just need a few days before going back to work. Just finish the meeting with a representative from the Sanrio company. All the data you need is in Altha,” Sean said while patting Daren’s shoulder before leaving.“Where are you going?” Daren asked still not satisfied with the explanation.“I’m going
Present …The sound of footsteps in the hallway woke Via up. Her eyes opened slowly.Still under the influence of drowsiness, Via glanced around and realized that she was asleep in the waiting chair. Her eyes stared in wonder at the black coat that enveloped her warm body. There was a look of confusion on her face as soon as she touched a familiar suit with a very memorable scent.Via’s slender fingers carefully touched the surface of the coat, until her chest expanded instantly, sending a swish of blood that spread to her body. Unable to contain herself, Via hugged the coat tightly as tears began to gather in her eyes.Her head shot up when she heard a little cough from the other side. Via’s eyes widened for a moment, finding the figure she missed was present there.They were both stunned for a long time, their tongues speechless.When she regained consciousness, Via threw the coat in her hands as soon as she stood up
Hilda’s camera shot nonstop at the couple embracing each other on the waiting chair. She smiled triumphantly at the big catch, but her smile faded as soon as the camera in her hand was suddenly taken.“Hey!” Hilda snapped while glaring angrily at the stranger who had been standing behind her all this time without her noticing. “Give back my camera,” she hissed at a tall man.The man smirked as he checked the recorded photos that Hilda had taken since a few weeks.“Wow,” he said with a long whistle. “I didn’t know you had taken this many pictures but you can’t keep all this, Babe. Do you know what you are doing is illegal?” explained the man as he pulled the memory card from Hilda’s camera.“Stop it!” said Hilda in a rising voice. “That’s mine.”Hilda was about to pull the memory out of the big man’s hand, but the man’s movements w
Arriving at Tya’s house, Via went out the car without waiting for Sean to open the door like he used all this time. She didn’t even care when Sean followed her to the terrace.Via was just about to knock the door when suddenly a woman in a bakery uniform came out of the house and greeted them.“Via, I thought you wouldn’t come. I am about to leave because the shop will open soon,” the woman said as she opened the door.She was about to say more when her eyes fell on the handsome man who had been silent on the steps.Seeing the direction of her best friend’s gaze, Via almost rolled her eyes.“Sorry, I overslept,” said Via, originating. She was embarrassed to admit that she had drifted into the atmosphere Sean had created.Seeing Via’s reddened face, Sean’s smile grew wider. He even reached out to the woman in front of him, knowing that Via had no intention of introducing the two of t
That morning, Via woke up in a restless state. She glanced at the empty side of the bed where Sean had been sleeping. She got up from the bed and took a shower before joining Tya at the dining table. Now what she wanted to do was dispelling her anxiety.“Hey, good morning,” Tya greeted while flipping pancakes on teflon.“Morning,” Via replied while covering her yawning. She glanced at the breakfast served on the table.“What happen with that sullen face? Are you feel sorry after kicking the poor guy out last night?” asked Tya who got a sharp glare.Instead of feeling guilty for letting him into the house, Tya laughed. “My God, you should have seen how Mr. Stunning when leaving the room after you kicked him out. I even felt sorry to see him glued to the door as if hesitating to knock.Poor man,” Tya sighed as she cupped her hands in front of her chest while admiring Sean’s perfect figure.Instead
Via and Tya decided to go to a shop together. They arrived at the bakery after picking up the flowers Sean had given them in the house.“Kindly remind me why we have to hate that guy, okay?” Via hissed as the two of them entered the shop. She felt her hand stinging because it was pricked by thorns from some kind of flower.Tya glanced at Via, who was dramatic because she had been complaining of pain in her fingers which were full of scratches.“Gosh, I told you to be careful. You can't even tell which flowers have thorns or not,” she explained, remembering Via, who just pulled the flowers from the vase.Via's lips pursed for a moment, while grumbling, she tried defending herself.“I think the thorny flower is only rose. I don’t know others. And see? Even the thorns are very small,” Via growled, remembering the Euphorbia flower whose stems had sharp thorns.She cursed Sean who indirectly hurt her in a
“You paid for Aunt Azura’s treatment room? Didn’t I tell you I don’t need anything from you!”Via was angry while she walking quickly to the VVIP room where her aunt was being treated.Her hand was covered in bandages after being treated by doctors as soon as Sean took her to the hospital. She didn’t even think about it because the scratch wasn’t deep. Just look at it earlier, the doctors and nurses who treated them just smiled amusedly seeing Sean who was scared by himself as if her head that was having problems, not because small scratches on her hands and fingers.“You did. But Via, don’t let the fight between us be a barrier for your aunt to get the best treatment. I did all this for Aunt Azura, too. Don’t you want the same thing, Baby?” Sean said with a smile on his face that softened her anger instantly.On second thought, he was right. She must not be selfish, and drag Aunt int
Thank you so much for reading this novel to the end. This is my first completed English novel, and I am very happy to put it on GoodNovel and received such a positive response.

Via had only been in the room for an hour and was lying on the bed when suddenly she heard the sound of the bell ringing loudly, making her sigh and rush to open the door only to find Sean standing in front of it with Carolus in his arms.“Mommy!” called the cute-faced toddler with her big blue round eyes.Seeing that, Via’s heart sank because for a moment, she almost forgot the whereabouts of her son who was left with the nanny at home. Via’s eyes immediately turned to the man who was holding their son with an innocent look.“He said ... he missed his mother,” said Sean as he swung his body slightly from side to side which made Carolus’ head fall on his father’s chest, and his eyes seemed heavy to close.Via’s eyelids twitched until her long eyelashes fanned her face with such graceful movements when she suddenly found the presence of the father and son duo.Sean cleared his throat becaus
The bone-chilling cold air made Via tighten the scarf around her neck. She fastened her steps as she crossed the slightly windy streets of New York.Maybe, it would rain tonight, so Via speed up her pace. And she was just about to arrive in front of the Luna Star building, when suddenly a car slowed down on the side of the road which forced her to stop. She unconsciously rolled her eyes when she saw who was behind the wheel.“Get in the car, or I’ll smack your pretty ass as soon as we get home,” said the man who leaned toward the window and stared at Via who looked disapproval.Instead of following Sean’s words whom he would definitely carry out his promise, Via instead continued her walked and made Sean couldn’t help but park the car on the side of the road.Sean didn’t care if he got a police ticket, because for him, bringing the stubborn woman back home was far more important. And in a very hasty, he immediately got
Via had already filled the bathtub with warm water and put the bomb bath in it when suddenly she heard the sound of the bathroom door closing. Via turned back for a moment and with a rounded mouth in O letter, her gaze also asked Sean who went inside.“What are you doing here?” Via asked while glancing at the door.“Shower, of course,” replied Sean who started to undress.How could you shower when Caro is alone there? Via pulled a towel from the shelf and put it on and then walked past her husband, but Sean’s arms wrapped around her waist, instantly stopped Via in place.“I gave him a toy. So don’t worry, Baby,” Sean said lightly, as if they were talking about a kitten outside alone instead of a ten month old baby.“Gosh! What if he cries, Sean? Nobody takes care of him right now,” protested Via while trying to break free.Too bad, Baby Caro’s nanny was asking permission
“Secret… from everyone?” Via asked in a whisper, right in front of Sean’s lips who had just kissed her.The light reflected from the buildings around made their lips glistening with wetness.“Yes,” he muttered which was followed by a growl when he ran the tip of his nose right behind her neck, causing her body to tremble.Via’s eyes closed again when Sean left traces of kiss after kiss which was carried out slowly around her sensitive neck skin.“Sean,” called Via who did not understand what her body wanted.“Yes, Baby,” Sean replied as he pulled Via’s waist so that their lower bodies were pressed close together.Via jumped in surprise when she felt something pressing around her femininity, making Sean laugh softly and deliberately kissed her lips to dispel her protests.At first Sean only teased her lower lip with small bites, then after that he slid his tongue
Sean glanced at his wrist watch. After waiting for fifteen minutes, he got out of the car and rushed up the stairs to her apartment. He deliberately slowed down his steps so Via had more time to prepare.Sean had just entered the corridor that would lead him to her room, when suddenly his steps stopped and found a woman peeking from the apartment next to Via’s room.“Are you Viania’s lover?” whispered the woman who showed half her face, and only showed her right eye, while the other body part was blocked by the door.Sean put his index finger to his lips, and it made the woman cover her mouth with one hand while nodding, then slowly closed the apartment door again.After making sure there were no interruptions from the neighbors, Sean knocked on Via’s fragile door.From his standing position, Sean could tell that she usually peeked through the cracks in the frame, which made Sean even more displeased. However, he chose
Via’s heart was still pounding, and she returned to her room with feeling still shrouded in fear. Even a question popped into her head; what if Devan went inside?Not wanting someone to suddenly enter her office, Via locked the door, hoping that her boss, Hadley, wouldn’t ask.Once back in her chair, Via tried to focus on completing the documents on the computer, but she was still restless and uneasy so she looked for the AC remote to lower the room temperature.A pinging sound signaling an incoming message to her phone awakened Via instantly. She thought it might be Sean.Sean: [Are you okay?]Via was frozen for some minutes when she read the chat. She typed a few words, then erased them again, unsure of what to say. Her finger stopped when she wanted to say ‘not okay’ and instantly she put her head on the table with her phone beside her without replying to the chat.“What should I answer?”
Sean’s gaze focused on the CCTV which showing Via’s activities in her private workspace. Not a single eye blinked, while one of his hands on the table moved with a rhythm like the sound of a horse’s tread.When Via got up from her chair and left the room, Sean immediately replaced the screen with CCTV in every corridor she passed.Via greeted several employees and stopped briefly to talk. Seeing her routine by heart, Sean turned his attention to the work at the desk and sipped his black coffee while occasionally glancing at the CCTV screen.Now Via moved towards the pantry, and Sean’s eyes followed, but the cup in his hand stopped in front of his lips when he saw someone entering the pantry right behind her.***Via felt thirsty suddenly and she forgot to bring a water bottle into the room.After greeting her seniors, Via also chose not to linger to talk, because she was still very awkward. Luckily there was no
Upon returning from the Luna Star Hotel, Via packed her things into the bag she brought some time ago. Her business here was done, and there was no reason for her to remain in Sean’s apartment. She would think after arriving at her apartment later on how to warm herself before the heating worked again.Feeling that everything was in order in the bag, Via left the room.Actually, Via wanted to tell Sean via text message, but she didn’t want to disturb him. What’s more, she didn’t want to be comfortable in her boss’s apartment. For some reason it felt wrong, as if she was taking advantage of the situation.When she reached the lobby, suddenly Via’s phone rang and saw Sean’s name on the screen, but she turned it off because she didn’t want Sean to ask what Via was doing.With hurried steps, Via walked through the crowd.Arriving at the apartment, again the woman next to the room greeted her.&ldqu
