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
Daren just came out of the meeting room with the other Luna Star Executives. Some of the employees who had attended the meeting together were still in the room, they made way for the Executives to leave first.Hadley who was the head of the Quality Control Division stopped in his tracks when he saw their CEO. He smiled when Sean’s walked there.“Looks like Mr. CEO just came back,” Hadley said to another colleague.Sean Reviano walked briskly down the hall towards the group of Executives standing in front of the meeting room.Seeing his best friend was back, Daren smiled to say hello, but the atmosphere turned tense once Sean was in front of them, because the smile on Daren’s face disappeared in an instant when two hard punches landed on his left cheek while his body crashed to the floor.There was a commotion that caught the attention of the nearby Luna Star employees.Dario Leaman, a Financial Manager who stood not f
Sean ran down the hospital hallway. He ignored several nurses. It was only Via and the baby in her womb in his mind. His cell phone vibrated non-stop, made him saw the message that Tya had sent, telling him the location of her treatment room.Seeing Sean who was present from the end of the hall, Tya stood up from the bench and waited until he arrived nearby.“What happened?” Sean asked, his voice was shaking with emotion.Tya looked at Sean worriedly, while her hands squeezed together with nervousness.“She saw a magazine that had your picture on with that woman. Then she soon turned pale and I took her home. I had just left her for a while, when I heard a scream and found Via with blood all over her body.” Tya cried remembering the incident. “I’ve never seen so much blood in my life. I thought I would lose her then and there.”Sean’s body felt weak until he sat on the waiting bench follow
Via’s room felt cramped. Sean thought about moving her to a bigger room, but he refused to go out and left her alone, so all he did was always sitting beside her.Sean stroked Via’s pale cheek. He also kissed her sleeping face.“I’m sorry, Baby,” Sean whispered in a trembling voice.The tough man lowered his face, ignoring the tears that slowly rolled down his cheeks to his chin. He cried silently. Their time wasted because of misunderstanding and also his selfishness.If only before going to Blueberry he explained the gossip, she might not be lying there.“I’m sorry,” Sean mumbled as he cupped her hands in his grip, then kissed her knuckles that were drooping helplessly.Sean got up from the chair and hugged Via who was lying down. For a long time, he wrapped his arms around her frail body. The great fear of losing her ate up his logic, so he was reluctant to let go of her who was in his embra
Nicko Andreson approached Sean who was leaning against the wall near the hospital garden. Both of them stared at the lamp illuminating the streets around the courtyard. The two men were silent for a long time and watched the passers-by. Until in the end, Nicko took out a cigarette and offered it to Sean which he flatly refused.Nicko shrugged and threw the cigarette on the ground. Neither of them smoked, Nicko was just making small gesture. He got the nicotine stick from one of the subordinates he brought with him. At first, Nicko thought it would lighten the mood.After a long silence, Nicko said, “Take Via from here.” He put his hands in his pockets because the cold air was starting to bite his skin. “I have a villa on a private island. Stay there for the time being. I’ve provided all the facilities Via needs, including a medical team that’s available twenty-four hours.”Sean glanced at the man next to him. He didn&rsq
The dancing waves sounded like music to Via’s ear, pulling her deeper into her dreams. Her lips curved a smile, feeling how beautiful her dream was at that time. In fact, she vaguely saw Sean who was also lying on the bed right next to her.Via tried to be more focused. She looked at the face of the man she loved. Her heart swelled with joy, as if it was about to explode from her chest. She hoped for the dream lasted a long time, because the hidden longing in her heart made her reluctant to face the real world.Via’s hands wrapped around Sean’s waist, which was without a thread. He only wore shorts that were covered by a blanket to his stomach.Via’s dream came to reality when she touched Sean’s warm skin. Also, she could smell the familiar scent of his masculine body. She consciously sniffed Sean’s bare chest, shamelessly kissing the surface of his skin.Who could blame her in a dream? She could enjoy anything wi
Via looked at Sean who was feeding her. He patienttly scooped mouthful after mouthful. He didn’t complain when Via was slow to chew, or reluctant to accept food which was thrust in front of her mouth. He just kept smiling and made Via unconsciously finish more than half the bowl of soup.“I’m full,” Via finally said, looking away as Sean held the spoon to her lips.Sean put the stainless spoon back in the porcelain bowl and set it on the table. He gave a glass of mineral water. Via accepted without protest.This time, he turned to the fruit on the table. He peeled the skin of the apple that had been in the tray. Sean’s fingers were so good at peeling fruit in his hand. He split the fruit into several pieces, then fed it to Via again.She stared at the fruit which was only inches in front of her face. She even stole a glance at Sean who was sitting quietly.Seeing the struggle of Sean who fed her, Via relented and
“You wanna go outside?” Sean asked Via. He remembered when Doctor Timothy stated that Via’s condition was getting better, but she was still under surveillance so she couldn’t do strenuous activities.Via thought for some minutes before finally answering.“Let me change pajamas with sundress,” said Via while trying to get up.Sean quickly carried Via, makes her screamed in surprise and looked at Sean confused when he put her back on the bed.“What are you doing?”“Just stay in bed,” Sean said using a relentless intonation, as he walked to the closet looking for a lemon yellow sundress. “I like it when you wear this color,” he said showing the sundress to her.Seeing the sundress in Sean’s hands, Via shook her head in disbelief. Sometimes Sean turned into overprotective even to the point of forbidding to walk to the wardrobe!It looked like Sean’s person
Sean walked across the beach and ran into Gideon Rose. The two men’s eyes locked onto each other and they just nodded in unison as they passed. No words spoken, only glances understood each other’s position. In fact, Sean didn’t even look at the woman in the man’s arms, because he also didn’t like it when a stranger looked at Via.Sean’s face that had been flat turned soft once it was within Via’s line of sight.“You waited me long?” Sean asked while bending down and giving Via a kiss on her forehead.“No, I was just talking to our neighbor,” Via answered while staring at the couple who had drifted away.Via’s gaze returned to the book in Sean’s hand. The woman’s smile disappeared as soon as she saw the book Sean had brought.Seeing Via’s sudden change in expression, Sean looked at the book doubtfully.“Why? You don’t like this b
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
