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
The bell rang that morning, but Via, who was sitting at the dining table, seemed unconcerned and continued to enjoy her breakfast. She was drowning in the memory of yesterday when Sean had treated her with lovingly and carefully.Now her head was full of questions, why was Sean being so gentle? And strangely, at some time the man stroked her stomach even though it was not obvious.Not only that, Sean was even worried about everything Via did, as if she made of fragile glass that might break at any moment.It was kinda strange. As what Via knew, it was Sean who did not want to continue their relationship and ordered to abort their baby, right?In fact, he told other people to shut Via’s mouth. Really, what did the man want all the way to Summer Breeze? Their relationship would never even be complete because Sean was getting married soon. He also did not explain anything and just entered her life without a word.“Geez, why are you j
The number that Hilda dialed rang several times, making her impatient. This was the third time she had contacted Gamal, but for some reason, the man didn’t pick up the phone from her, making her annoyed. It was unusual for Gamal to ignore her call.Could something have happened to her coworker?After reminiscing about the strange man who stole all her personal belongings, including the camera which Hilda had painstakingly bought from raising money after a long part-time job at a bar, her anger was emerged.She was just doing a Papparazi job, not an illegal job, and for God sake it was her job to find gossip about celebrity life!On the last ring, Gamal finally picked up the call. Without waiting for the greeting, she cursed out loud without giving Gamal a break to explain himself.“I’ve been calling you since days, but you’re ignoring me, huh? Do you know, I’m having a hard time here! My camera was taken, all the data
Since noon, Via had been waiting for Sean to come to the bakery, but until the sun was about to set, he didn’t show his figure, making her wonder. Her heart even thumped a few times when she heard the sound of the bell on the door, but feeling disappointed came when she saw that it was not the person she had been waiting for to enter.“Hey, don’t make a face like that. The customer ran away just because you looked like a sleep deprived bear,” Tya elbowed after one of the customers left with a disapproving look.Via sighed and looked back at the window which gave a view of the deserted street outside. Tya knew the reason behind her gloomy face.“He’s probably busy right now. I am sure, he will definitely come here again tomorrow. Come on, put on a friendly smile before we have new customers,” Tya said encouragingly.Via’s lips only widened slightly, as if not intending to, making Tya roll her eyes and continu
After calling Willow and Disya, Via was ready to go to Sweety.Willow said she had moved into her parent’s house, although Via had explained her that she could live in that temporary ranch. Unfortunately, Willow refused.Since there was nothing else to do, Via looked at the flowers around and she replaced the water in the eight vases. It had become her routine in the morning to calm down by inhaling the scent of flowers until her memories with Sean came back.A few days without seeing Sean, Via missed him so much so she took his photograph several times from storage in her memory box. But again, she put the figure in its original place, refraining from doing stupid things like before, stared at Sean’s picture for a long time. She did not expect their relationship to be good again.“What about Disya?” Tya asked while opening the car door as soon as the two of them arrived at the bakery.“She’s fine, just tired bec
Sean walked down the mansion halls to his father’s study with an expressionless face, but anyone who knew him well could see the anger hidden behind his ocean blue eyes.Gestures that looked normal to ordinary people, couldn’t deceive the eyes of those closest to him. Sean tried hard with the self-confidence that he was going to rebel from his shell all along.The Mansion which was Reviano’s residence looked deserted.Everyone including maids seemed to be deliberately hiding, knowing the change in the atmosphere around which became tense as soon as Sean’s car entered the mansion yard.Sean knocked on the large door in front of him twice. Manners he learned since he was five years old. He obediently waited until he heard his father’s deep voice telling him to come inside.“Come in,” Houston Reviano said commandingly.Sean gritted his teeth, as he held his jaw. He entered the room and looke
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
