Vanessa's POV

The rumours about me and Andreas that had been going on for weeks had finally died down. People's attention had been completely diverted from me for various reasons, such as the rumours were no longer interesting, there were rumours about other things that were more horrendous, and because Andreas appeared with rumours about his other successes, those things made me feel more peaceful.

My previous daily life returned to me. I became quite calm when I worked or in public. But there was one issue that was bothering me. I sighed as I stared at my lonely phone screen without any notifications from the person I was desperately waiting to hear from.

"What's wrong with him? Why haven't I heard from him lately?" I muttered to myself, removing my clothes and changing into something more comfortable. "What happened exactly? Why is there no news of him at all?" Andreas had me worried.

With a mind that had only been focused on her in the past few days, I walked downstairs to have di

    Vanessa's POVMy head throbbed with thoughts of how I woke up in my room the morning before. I remember nothing except drinking at the private bar Silvi had rented last night.I shook my head quickly, dismissing the thoughts confusing me. Besides, I was pretty sure I must have gone home by myself last night. I just didn't remember it, probably because I was too drunk. "What am I doing?" I cursed, looking at the clock on the wall that was already 8 am.I smacked my forehead hard because today, I still had activities at the office as usual. But it's crazy that I'm drinking when I have such a busy schedule today. I shake my head as I get up from my bed."Vanessa... Vanessa, you're not making any sense." I ran a little, ignoring my head that was throbbing with pain and almost made me bump into something and fall.I take off my alcohol-smelling clothes on the bathroom floor, then turn the shower on. Standing under the water made my consciousness slowly return to my body. The throbbing in m

    Andreas' POV"They're so stubborn." Arnold, my long-faced secretary, complained after meeting with the representative of the company that was in the proposal stage.I sighed heavily, my chest feeling a bit tight because of them. "Yes, they are a bit difficult to deal with." They got me involved in a lot of deals that I needed to give them.I know that in business, I have to be ready to make a lot of offers that make business partners interested, but making offers also requires a lot of thought. I couldn't just give them an offer without thinking about the losses I'd face.Because of that, I thought more that negotiating in business is not an easy matter, but this kind of thing is better compared to my other problems. The difficulty with work was certainly easier when compared to the difficulty felt by the burden on my heart.Arnold kept pace with me. He just kept a few steps behind me. "But it's fortunate that we reached an agreement together quickly, so they didn't trouble us any lon

    Andreas’ POV"You should have lunch first, sir. It's already 3 pm, and you still haven't stopped yet." Arnold's voice spoke in a rather irritating tone. He sounded both tired and frustrated looking at me.This wasn't the only time I'd heard him remind me to eat. It was God knows how many times I'd forgotten. He kept going back and forth from his place to my room to deliver files that needed to be signed, show me reports that needed to be checked and outline the rest of my schedule."Yes," I replied to get him to stop babbling further. My head was already busy enough with the various things I needed to do, and I didn't want to be burdened with his equally annoying ramblings.I deliberately didn't look at him because I didn't want to see the annoying expression on his face. It would further worsen my situation and disturb my emotions. He can be more annoying than James sometimes, but no one can match her work performance, so I don't want to replace him with someone else, even though he

    Andreas’ POV"There's still time before the flight. You sure you don't want to do it at the nearest hospital?" Arnold had been watching my movements with his hawk-like eyes for some time now.He kept complaining since early this morning. I don't know when he woke up, but when I started blinking, I already saw him standing guard in front of me. Arnold said he found me on the floor in an unconscious state, and after that, he immediately contacted the doctor to treat me a few hours ago.As far as I remember, I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with a very dry throat, and even though the temperature in my room was quite cold, I left the air conditioner on. Then I walked out to get some water, after which I don't remember anything else.I didn't feel any specific pain, so I didn't think that I would suddenly collapse. I shook my head and kept walking towards the airport. "No need, there's not that much time." I couldn't miss my flight in order to arrive on time. This proje

    Vanessa's POV"What is that guy really doing? Why is it so hard to reach him?" I planted my feet on the floor, pushing my chair around as I flopped back against it helplessly.Andreas is annoying!I didn't understand what he was thinking at all, why he who promised to take care of everything for our togetherness had suddenly become unreachable like this.I slammed my hands together on the table. "Doesn't that guy know how crazy I've been waiting to hear from him here? Doesn't it occur to her that this attitude of hers could get me in trouble?" I let out a heavy breath from my chest.I had mixed feelings, I was upset, and I was worried about how he was doing since he didn't tell me at all. I was afraid that he was going through a difficult situation and again not telling me and facing it alone directly. I was dreading the thought of him, not even knowing that I was busy thinking about him here.I groaned helplessly, dropping my body to rest on the table. "I miss him..." I spoke softly,

    Vanessa's POV"After this, we meet with the marketing team around 3 pm. So we still have to go back to the company." Jesse opened my schedule that he had recorded in his tab.I, who walked ahead of her, could still hear her clearly because I stopped in front of the elevator. "Alright, we'll head back to the office then." I went inside as soon as the elevator doors opened.Thanks to my busy schedule these past few days, my mind, which was previously grumpy at Andreas, finally took a break from thinking about him, although not completely. I still thought about her a few times a day, but not as badly as when I had free time.Because I was busy, I was required to be productive. I thought about many things, visited many places and engaged in social interactions that were certainly more draining than when I was working behind a desk, checking incoming files, thinking about projects to be developed and all sorts of things that were done in my room, of course.Usually, at night, I think about

    Vanessa's POVJesse came over to me and grabbed my wrists, pulling them back. He whispered near my ear, "You need to calm down, miss. Don't fall for his words."I tried to calm down. I tried to control myself since I was tired from work and had to go back to work again, but him. That man made my patience that I was trying to maintain fall apart. I didn't want to show respect and be polite in front of him.I gave him a sharp look, walking towards him, emphasizing that I wasn't intimidated by his words. "You don't know anything about us, but you talk as if you do." I furrowed my brow. "Do you think you're better than him?"He nodded, looking at me indifferently. "Of course, I'm better than him. You shouldn't compare me to him." He spoke calmly, addressing me like he was an expert when it came to speaking.I hated the calmness she showed, as well as the patience she had shown in the past when dealing with me. He made me feel like I was the guilty one while what he said was true. George

    Vanessa's POV"Andreas?" my eyes opened wide to see the name written there simply without any words, but it had my entire attention on it.I blinked my eyes and checked once more. Didn't I see it wrong? I was sceptical that Andreas had sent the flowers. But when I looked again, he actually had his name written there. My lips twitched into a restrained smile.The confusion and annoyance I felt earlier somehow disappeared from inside me and only left a warm sweetness in my chest. Is this what it feels like to fall in love again? This is how it feels when there's not just hope from the person you love, and that person shows their effort towards you.Yes. Andreas is not the type to hide his love. He tends to be reckless in showing and expressing his feelings. It's just that this time is different. This time, it was even more special because I had missed her for so long because I had held myself back and bottled up my feelings for her."So, are you going to throw away the flowers?" Jesse's

    Vanessa's POVI stepped into a beautiful place with a vast expanse of grass. I hadn't seen Andreas since earlier, so I wondered to myself. Where else would Andreas be? Why did he suddenly disappear?I took a deep breath. I tried to ignore my thoughts about Andreas and chose to enjoy this beautiful place I was visiting. This place is so lovely. I didn't get tired of stretching my arms while occasionally taking a deep breath of air. I was really in love with this place.I've been struggling with my feelings of comfort for a while when Andreas suddenly appears behind me. The man smiled sweetly at me as he handed me a bouquet and a box of cakes. "Vanessa, I brought you a bouquet and some cake," Andreas said.I smiled enthusiastically. I immediately grabbed the bouquet and cake with my right hand. Meanwhile, my left hand stretched out to cup Andreas' free wrist. "You're so romantic, Andreas." I smiled mockingly at him. Being nosy is my hobby these days with him.Andreas chuckled. "How was

    Vanessa's povI was annoyed when he took me away from our still-unfinished wedding party. Was it okay for the guests to stay without the person who owned the event? I mean, was it polite to just leave them there? But Andreas didn't seem to care.He impatiently carried me into the room without turning my head to the right and left. I then put my hand to hold on tighter to him. In case he was having trouble, I murmured near his ear, "I hope this marriage continues to work well, Andreas."I saw Andreas nodding. "Sure, this will go on forever." He lowered me from his arms and then took off his suit. The man then smiled and walked towards the bed.I, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, did not dodge when Andreas suddenly touched my arm. And was groped my arm until I have amused myself. "Andreas, stop it! I felt ridiculous when you touched me."Instead of stopping the touching, Andreas moved to grope my neck. Then, his palm moved to my back until he embraced me completely."Why are you

    Vanessa's POVStep by step, I walked closer to him, slowly gazing at him. The moment felt very sacred like it was filled with blessings and happiness. Each step I took toward him made what happened and what I went through with that man flash in my head.I felt like I was the one who rejected him so harshly, the one who mistreated her and denied my feelings, and when I thought about it now, I felt guilty for him, especially after seeing how much effort she put into making our relationship an approved one.Throughout his absence, I kept cursing him, not knowing what he had secretly prepared for me. He kept his promise to me, kept his promise to his father, and melted his mother's heart. He almost did everything just to accept me into his life.I laughed, looking at him on the other end, who gestured with his hands for me not to cry. We laughed at this happiness that was about to be achieved and only a few steps away.Right in front of me, as we stopped by the Altar, Andreas extended his

    Vanessa's POVMy wedding day finally arrived. Two days before the wedding day, the others and I had prepared a private jet to take you to the private island where our wedding would be held.It wasn't for nothing that the island was chosen as the location for the wedding. Father decided on it because he knew his daughter well and didn't like her private life to be highlighted by people and enjoyed by the public. Even though I realised that I had become a public figure, I didn't want that kind of thing, on the contrary. I hoped that everything would go smoothly."Vanessa, I'll put the necklace here, then return later." Maria put down the jewellery box I knew contained a necklace she gave me yesterday.I nodded my head. "Yes, ma'am. I'll make sure to ask them to wear it." I glanced at her, who passed beside me with a nodding smile.It was hard for me to look at her because I felt like I was being used as a mannequin by the makeup and fashion artists in charge of my appearance today.They

    Vanessa's POVI was walking out of the house doorway with my eyebrows raised when I found Andreas pacing back and forth incoherently with a worried expression like that. He was worried about something. He didn't usually look that worried.I let out a short breath. I tried to steady myself before stepping towards the man who now made me feel better than ever.He turned to me. "Vanessa?" he sounded panicked for no reason, even though I had only been out of sight for a few moments.Suddenly, I heard a voice that sounded worried. Andreas quickly pulled my hand away, and I was told to face him fully, close enough that my breath and his breath almost met.Andreas touched my cheeks hard enough to make me feel out of breath. I patted his waist, and sure enough. Andreas immediately released the choke hold."I've been waiting for you. What took you so long?" Andreas asked later. He seemed incoherently annoyed. "What are you guys doing?"I stayed where I was standing. I let the seconds pass by,

    Vanessa's POV"I don't think this is a necklace that just anyone can wear. Why did you give it to me?" I touched the necklace carefully around my neck, then looked at it in the mirror with an enchanted look.That necklace was so beautiful. It was like wearing a tiara around my neck and seeing firsthand the necklaces that nobles used to wear years ago. Compared to how much it could cost, I was more fascinated by the history of what it had gone through to reach this generation, and it was still well preserved. One thing I was sure of was that this necklace seemed to be a precious treasure belonging to the Andreas family.My fingers clenched into fists, and suddenly, my courage to touch it shrank. "Are you sure you gave it to me?" I turned to her, staring doubtfully.Maria nodded her head. Now I understood why when I saw the sapphire stone, I felt familiar and like I had seen it before. It was because the blue stone had the same colour as her eyes, the same as the colour of Andreas' iris

    Vanessa's POV"Let's take a short walk before we go home." Andreas stood up from where he was sitting and extended his hand to me.I grabbed his hand and pulled him so I stood beside him. "Where are we going?" I asked him, holding my hand tightly as we walked out of the café where Steve and I had signed off on our project."Mmm... just walk around here. I saw a park when we were walking here earlier. It's nice outside, so let's go outside." He glanced at me with a warm smile on his lips.I nodded my head, walking out of the place with him. The park, she said, is not far from there. The park was near an artificial lake in the city's centre, but even though it was an artificial lake, the lake's size was quite large.The atmosphere in the garden looked very shady and pleasant. In the sunny weather with a brightly lit sky, the garden showed its dominant, alluring green and brown colours. Walking there felt cool because the wind first hit the leaves and made the breeze feel cooler.I sighe

    Vanessa's POV"Are you sure you want to join us for the meeting? Don't you want to wait in my room?" I asked him as he opened the car door for me.Andreas shook his head. "Why, you don't want me to interrupt your meeting with him?" he glanced at me with a serious look, even though I knew he was joking, while extending his hand to me.I grabbed his hand and joined him, walking out of the car. "I'm not." I denied it. He was still being nosy about it. "I'm just worried that you'll get bored waiting for us to talk about work," I replied casually. I was hooking my arm tighter around his.Andreas turned to me with his eyebrows knitted together and a fierce look on his face. "Me? Bored with talking about work?" He twitched her lips with a playful face. "Seriously, have you forgotten who I am?" he pretended with his annoying face.I stare at him in astonishment, right? For a moment, I forgot that Andreas was someone like that. He was a workaholic, and it was impossible for him to feel bored w

As he breathed deeply into my shoulder, I could hear the sound of his breathing in time, with his heartbeat beating in a matching rhythm.Andreas shook his head. "I'm tired of talking to them, welcoming their congratulations and other pleasantries." He raised her head slightly, peering at me. "I bet you went here too because you were tired of everything."Andreas laughed. He looked at me with a nosy expression, like he had read what was going through my mind. "You must be getting sick of them talking like sycophants, right?" he grinned.I raised my eyebrows at him in astonishment. "You're just like a psychic." How could he know? Was he reading my mind? Or was the expression on my face too evident and easy to read? I furrowed my eyebrows.He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "I'm not psychic. I know you well." He replied with a smile on his face that seemed to tease me. "Let's go out. We ne
