vanesa's PovAndreas is probably crazy!I averted my eyes from him. After suddenly conquering me and saying things I never thought he would say, I didn't know how to act in front of him.About Andreas' feelings, I knew that for a long time. I just ignored it because back then, I thought maybe it was Andreas' way of expressing his affection for the brother he never had before.Maybe he was too happy with the new family he had, and I didn't understand what the attitude between brothers was like because I didn't have brothers, so for a moment, I thought that his attitude was normal.Until I started to feel something vague, making me uncomfortable with Andreas' attitude."I'm going to the villa for business. Come with me." Andreas broke the silence with something surprising.I turned to him with a narrowed gaze. I didn't understand that guy. I mean, just now, moments ago, he expressed his feelings for me. I responded with silence and broke away from him. That was a clear sign I gave him.
vanessa's POVMy knees were hurting as they hit the floor quite hard. My eyes were still closed as falling on the floor seemed scary, but something felt off.My knee had landed and hit the floor hard, but why not my body?I slowly opened my eyes. My body had landed on something, but it was very different from the feeling of hitting the floor. "Andreas?" I was stunned when I realized Andreas' body turned out to be my matrix.What was he doing? How could he be underneath my body? Is it possible that he ran and dropped his body to the floor just to prevent me from falling?I closed my eyes in shame at the ridiculous thing I had done and the position we were in. For a moment, I cursed myself for my carelessness, then looked at him again.I checked Andreas, lying on the floor perfectly still, worried he might have hit his head hard from dropping his body earlier. "Are you okay?"I tried to get up from his body so he could get up too, but unfortunately, the long skirt I was wearing accident
Vanessa’s POV"There's no one here." Andreas' hoarse, heavy voice seemed to hypnotize me with its tone of voice that carried me along.I gulped. My sensitivity was at a limit that was becoming difficult to control. To be able to put my logic to the fore, felt rather difficult as I stared at the passion in Andreas' eyes. Moreover, I was beginning to want the same thing as him.Andreas' breath catches. He seems to open his mouth and breathe with difficulty as his sad eyes continue to stare at me. Andreas' hand holding the back of my neck is now gently rubbing my neck, sliding down to touch my collarbone and then slipping his fingers into the thin white blouse I'm wearing.I cringed and clenched my jaw tightly every time those fingers moved against my skin. My eyes gaze up at Andreas with a whimpering face when I find him smiling faintly at my reaction.And then Andreas brought himself closer to me again, his lips touching again, but now his goal wasn't my lips. He was eyeing my jaw, mov
"I've shown you clearly what I've been feeling for a long time." Andreas lightly flicked my forehead. He gazed warmly with his eyes that seemed to imply his feelings so clearly.I knew Andreas had looked at me with the same gaze before, but for some reason, it was only now that everything felt clear and relieving, although I couldn't deny that other things made me wary of this relationship."Yes, what's wrong with you? Why did you do it?" I looked at him curiously.What Andreas was talking about wasn't something he had been doing recently. I've been aware of Andreas' interest in me for the past few years, and it was one of the reasons why I finally decided to get married.Yes, I was in love with Jaxon at the time. I loved him, but marriage was a decision I made after thinking about many things, including Andreas."Haven't you liked me for a long time, too?" he looked at me intently.Startled, I suddenly placed both my hands on his chest to support my position. "What are you talking ab
The corner of my eye was editing with my eyes closed because I hadn't fully awakened. Something felt very disturbing, especially when I felt the presence of another person on my bed.I slowly opened my eyelids, which were still heavy and stared at the person who was there. "Andreas! What are you doing?" I pulled my blanket up, covering my body and slightly distancing my body from him.Andrae's hand quickly covered my mouth. "Don't be loud. Do you want Mom and Dad to come and see us both in the same bed?" He half-whispered and suppressed his voice, emphasizing his words through his handsome but annoying look.Why does it feel like I've just been threatened by him?I looked at Andreas sarcastically, then moved his hand away from my mouth. He's the one who broke into my room, so why am I being told to be careful when he's doing unreasonable things.I lifted the blanket I was wearing. "You shouldn't be here if you're worried about that." I turned my face away from him.Andreas tugged on m
"Yes, you can rearrange them there." I pointed to the shelves where the items were stored in the warehouse.The workers accompanying me since this morning scrambled to place what I had told them.The man in the blue shirt, belonging to the store deputy who served as the warehouse supervisor, showed me many places and what they had done in the past few hours.He turned to me. "It does lie better if the arrangement is changed." He looked satisfied.I nodded at him, then looked at the shelf. "It will be easier to see which stocks are empty if placed in this position." I turned away from the report paper I was making and then looked at the others. "Can we check the others?"The man approached quickly. "Sure, ma'am. Please come this way." he led the way by walking ahead of me.For more than three hours, we walked through the warehouse, directing them to reorganise with the stacking pattern I had made after studying the retrieval system.During those three hours, I helped with the lightest
Jaxon looked dumbfounded at what I said to him. Surprisingly, he shouldn't have been because compared to what he did to me, what I just said wasn't a big deal.I saw Jaxon's hands on the table clenched tightly, as well as the hardened look on his face. The man had an ego. He didn't like me contradicting him, let alone saying something harsh.He often felt angry and upset when I told him what he should do. Jaxon was often offended by my attitude, so I was always careful with him."Alright, I understand." He lowered his face, but I could see he was trying to control himself. Afterward, she raised her face, looking at me. "I understand you're still angry with me, Vanessa."I looked at him with a frown on my face. He clearly didn't understand anything about me and was talking nonsense.If I think about it, Jaxon never understood me. When we first got together, he was only gentle, but he decided everything himself. He never involved me in any decisions, everything was always about him, and
What is Andreas doing here? Why is he always in the places I visit? Often, he comes out of nowhere and meets me.It's not that I'm upset about meeting him, but right now, if I have to choose between being with someone or being alone, I want to be alone. Let myself be alone somewhere until my emotions subside.Especially in this situation, I didn't want Andreas to meet with Jaxon. I could imagine how awkward the situation would be when those two people faced off.The shameless Jaxon, who knew who his opponent was, would certainly degrade himself even more in front of Andreas, and that would be very bad for me. After all, Jaxon is my ex-husband, and letting him show his stupidity in front of Andreas would be the same as showing my stupidity. Since I've been in love and even married to someone like him, that's the worst thing."Where are you going?" Andreas greets me first, who silently stares at him in surprise that he's there.I anxiously looked back, making sure Jaxon wasn't there. "I
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
