Vanessa's POVWhat the hell is going on?Why does this seem so unreal? Am I dreaming right now?I shook my head, then tried to slap my cheeks without taking my attention away from Andreas, who was currently still kneeling in front of me. I was afraid that this was a dream if I momentarily switched and made him escape my sight, but if this wasn't a dream, why was it so unreal? Suddenly Andreas, who couldn't even tell me the news, appeared with a ring box in his hand and proposed to me.There's no way this is real, but I wasn't asleep earlier. I'm in a fully conscious state. What's really going on? Is this a manifestation of my imagination?"Miss?" Jesse's voice jolted me. Suddenly, I glanced again at her. I don't know when she appeared there when only a few moments ago I saw her upstairs doing something for tomorrow, but now she's just downstairs. Has she finished organising my schedule for tomorrow? It can't be that fast.I wrinkled my forehead to look at him. "What are you doing here
Vanessa's PoV"Dad... mom?" I was startled and pulled Andreas behind me, my eyes rounding on them.What is this? Why are my father and Maria suddenly visiting my office simultaneously? Why they arrived at the most inopportune time for me, yet the most suitable time for them, was getting in the way of my relationship with Andreas.I tightened my grip on Andreas' arm, ignoring the gazes of the others, except for my father and Maria. My eyes only watched their movements and the changing expressions on their faces. "You can't do anything to Andreas." I lashed out at him. This time, I wouldn't let him say anything to him.I wouldn't let any harsh words directed at him hurt him. I regretted not being able to do something about it, not being able to defend him from his father's scolding and making Andreas take all the blame himself, making him such a pathetic figure. I knew he was hurt at that moment, but he persisted and stood there while placing me behind him so that only he was being star
Vanessa's POVI put my phone down on the table in annoyance. It had only been a day since Andreas proposed to me, and now all the media were busy creating their articles and making me the topic of their conversation on various platforms.As if Andreas and I were their hot catch, everyone talked about me with various comments and opinions. Of course, I didn't expect everyone to agree with what we were doing. I didn't expect them to accept it. I had also expected negative comments on our decision, and I prepared myself for that. Even so, I was still annoyed. I didn't expect that there would be that many people interested in talking about topics about other people, even though they didn't know them personally.Suddenly, I felt like I was a celebrity and that something about him could be the talk of the whole country. I didn't expect being a businessman, even his personal life, didn't escape the talk of the people.I shifted my gaze towards the doorbell ringing, noticing Andreas, who had
Vanessa's POV"Fine if you want it that way, but at least let us do something. Let us also participate in your wedding. You are your father's only daughter, and so is Andreas." Maria glanced at her father, who had more or less the same expression as her. "We want to be busy with things for your wedding. We also want to feel the happiness of preparing everything together." Maria gave me a warm yet expectant look.I looked into her lively eyes and revealed a strong desire, I understood. That I am my father's only daughter, and Andreas is the only son Maria has. After our wedding, there will be no more weddings that will make them feel excited.Maybe they, too, had great hopes and plans for their children's wedding, but since there was only us and we said we wanted to organize everything ourselves, it must have been hard for them to accept.I nodded my head. "Alright, maybe I need help with a few things." Andreas smiled at me as I glanced at him. He stroked my hand resting on his knee.I
Vanessa's POV"Let's talk about that later. We can book discuss after we have at least one baby." I want to be realistic.Of course, in marriage, I expect to have a child. It's a dream for every married couple, although it doesn't rule out that some couples would enjoy their married life with their partner compared to having a baby immediately.It's just that the past still haunted me. I had gotten myself checked out and found the results of my examination to be without any problems, but I was still hesitant about it. I was worried about getting their hopes up, but in the end, it turned out that I wasn't able to give them a child like they wanted.Suddenly, I felt scared. I became anxious about the situation after the wedding. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down."Yes, mom. Let it be a situation that runs naturally without being planned." Andreas glanced at me, and he quickly realized my concern. "We can plan the preparations to take care of it, but arranging the birth
Vanessa's POV"Are you sure you want to see it?" Andreas turned to me before we both got out of the car.I glanced at him, nodding my head confidently while staring at the police station in front of me. "Yes, I'm sure. There's nothing that makes me hesitate or afraid to see her anyway." I smiled lightly. My current situation has greatly improved. I won't be bothered by her anymore.It was true that my anger and disappointment were still there, I was not okay because of that jerk, but what was in the past should not bother me, and right now I wanted to prove that I was okay standing in front of him and could face him without any feelings bothering me."Let's go inside now." I opened my door, ignoring Andreas' gaze, who was watching me with a worried look.Andreas's steps as he walked toward me rang clearly in my ears. Without turning around, I knew it was him, and I immediately hooked my hand around his arm. "Tell me when you're getting sick and uncomfortable. I'll take you out of ther
Vanessa's POV"What is that woman doing?" Andreas stared intently at the middle-aged woman standing in front of our car.I noticed the woman and realized that it was Anne. My eyes rounded on her. Anne stood there with her gaze fixed. She was looking at me from behind the glass with a look that I couldn't explain, the expression on her face was too complicated.I recognized the various expressions on that face, living in the same house with her for a long time, made me know what her character was like. Anne was the one who often arranged me about things, before Jaxon misbehaved with me, Anne was the one who mistreated me first.He was the worst in-law. If I had any disappointment in Jaxon, then I had tremendous heartache for him. From him, all my pain started. He scolded me when I confessed to having no parents and found out that I was an ordinary country girl.His expectations of Jaxon really hurt me, he wanted Jaxon to marry a woman from a great family, with wealthy parents. He hoped
Vanessa's POV"How dare that crazy woman do something like this to you!" my father's snapping voice echoed throughout the room. I sighed at the booming voice that sounded quite frightening.Facing my father's anger was nothing new, but it always made me panic and fear. I turned my gaze towards my father. "Dad calm down, Anne's been taken into custody, she won't get away with what she did to Andreas." I tried to calm him down.Father's eyes were staring at me, and those irises the same color as mine looked unfriendly and uncomfortable. I turned my gaze towards Andreas, sitting next to me, but instead met the gaze of Maria, who was staring anxiously. She didn't look fine either."Of course that crazy woman must be caught, she must be taken into custody immediately before she hurts anyone else again." He said with passion.I still remember when Maria found out about our relationship, and Andreas confessed to it. Maria slapped Andreas hard and mistreated him because of her anger, but she
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
Vanessa's PoV"Are you tired?" I asked him with my hand gently stroking the head. 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
