Andreas' POV

"Must you keep us waiting like this?" Jeremy grimaced at me as he turned around on the barstool, and then his eyes met mine.

I smiled briefly at him, came over and patted his shoulder, then sat down next to him. "It's too crowded." I reasoned.

This afternoon, they contacted me and asked to meet at a bar owned by one of my old friends. They said they wanted to get together since they hadn't seen each other in a while and talk.

I don't know how long it's been since I've spent time with them. Some of them, like Jeremy, are friends from school, and the other two are friends who know each other.

Thomas, on the other end, snorted. I saw his eyes glance at me briefly. He seemed to know that my excuse was a lie. Because he also came late several times when asked to gather. "Next time, we need to make an appointment from the beginning of the month to meet him so that he prepares a fixed schedule."

I looked down, laughing, staring at the martini James had just poured into my glass.

    Vanessa's POVThe smell of alcohol was strong on Andreas' breath. He looked at me with a smile and a small giggle and leaned against my shoulder."Andreas!" I growled in annoyance at the weight of his body leaning against me. "Get up, Andreas! You need to go up to your room." I tapped Andreas on the shoulder and tried to rouse him.But despite my efforts to wake him up, it seemed my efforts were in vain. Andreas didn't open his eyes even though he made a small mumble.I took a deep breath, realizing I was in trouble with that tall, muscle-bound body. "Or do I just leave him here until tomorrow?" I looked sarcastically at Andreas.The air was cold enough to hurt his body if I put him on the tiles. I didn't have the heart to just leave him there, though I wished I could be a little less cautious and leave him there.I fixed him position with a heavy sigh because it felt like I was training at the gym after a long time. "Alright, I'll help you up. But just this once, I'll let you be if th

    Vanessa's POV"You son of a bitch…" I cursed at Andreas as I walked away from his room.I ignored what his reaction would be like, letting the one I heard chuckle. He was having the time of his life playing with me when I had worked so hard to move him from the kitchen to the room.After returning to the room to clean up, I quickly went downstairs to have breakfast together. Maria was still not there, and I was quite relieved.We had a quiet breakfast, but it made me wary. It would have been better if Maria had asked me a question than not at all. I would be able to answer her and fix the situation.It was because of Andreas that I felt a little disturbed. He could have just said he didn't know because he had just woken up, but Andreas answered outside the scenario I had created. Watching him eat in peace didn't seem fair."Vanessa, I went to your room, but you weren't there." He finally asked. Maria turned to Andreas. "I asked Andreas, and he said you went to the park." Maria looked

    Vanessa's 46"What happened, Vanessa?" Silvi looked at me with worry on her face. Although we rarely met, Silvi and I often shared news about the big decisions we made.It's just that, in the past year, I rarely told her because problems began to come to me one after another and made me tired. While Silvi is a person who is sensitive to the situation, just because my voice sounds a little different from usual, she will immediately realise that I'm not okay.I didn't want to worry her too much, so I decided not to say anything to her. It was hard being treated badly by Anne then, while Jaxon also started being cold towards me. I had no one to talk to about how miserable I was enduring everything in that house. I repeatedly assured myself that I would be fine, that everything would soon pass.At that time, I still thought that Jaxon liked me and that I still liked him. So I endured, even though it felt like every day I lost my mind because of Anne, who treated me not as her daughter-in-

    Vanessa’s POVBecause of my silence, Silvi looked at me with lightning in her eyes. She was bringing out a side of her that was more stressful than going to the authorities for interrogation. I regretted that her expertise in that field wasn't channeled into something that could make her drown.Silvi likes to work, she spends quite a lot of time on her career, but it also makes her question what she is doing all this time because her life was almost destroyed at one time that she did not expect.I turned away from her, scratched behind my ear awkwardly, then looked at her briefly and turned away from her again. "I do have someone I'm attracted to," I admitted quietly.Silvie stared at me with an agitated look. She moved forward from her seat. "Tell me clearly, Vanessa." She tugged on my chin and made it impossible for me to look away from her.I looked at him weakly, not understanding why I felt guilty for him since I had found a replacement so quickly. I felt a bit like trash. I took

    Vanessa's POV"Do you have free time this afternoon, Vanessa?" Maria looked at me enthusiastically.After meeting up with Silvi before lunchtime, I had gone straight home, as there was nowhere else I wanted to go.When I got home, Maria asked me to sit in the living room with her. I complied because I was also bored in my room."This afternoon?" I asked, confirming it."Yes." She nodded in agreement.What did she want to say exactly? Why did Maria ask like she had something to do with me? "Yes, ma'am. I don't have anything to do this afternoon."Maria smiled. Her face looked excited. "Then, let's accompany mom to the afternoon tea." She took my hand.I stared at her silently for a moment, returning her smile but not immediately responding. "But I'm not sure people recognize me, Mom." I politely declined.She shook her head. "It's okay. You can accompany Vanessa's mom. It's just a tea with a group of mothers and their children, no need to worry. We'll relax there." Maria made it sound

    Vanessa's POVWhat's wrong with today?All day, I felt fine about meeting Silvi and telling her things, but in the afternoon, how could I be so unlucky to meet Catherine and Jaxon at the same time?I took a deep breath, standing in front of the door to the room where Mom had gathered earlier for a while, only opening it when I felt calmer. I walked inside and looked at the room. I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I looked again, it differed from the other rooms.It seemed more exclusive and closed but looked more elegant than the other meeting rooms. Even the staff on guard also wore different clothes from the staff outside.Even though it is only for tea once a month, the place is equipped with various servants there. Even the access was reserved for that gathering only, as there was never a list of the rooms in the hall rented out by the hotel. Maria was truly amazing."You're back?" Maria turned to me when I arrived.I smiled at her, then pulled out the chair and sat back dow

    Vanessa's POV"Do you have anything that looks plain but elegant?" Maria walked through the store's corners, looking for something she wanted.A few shop assistants followed her to help. A few times, I heard them talking about some of the top brands, discussing their latest releases and whether they fit.I just listened on the side. I didn't know about the latest trends these days. I don't follow them, so I don't know what each brand's fashion model or collection looks like. It feels like following every brand launch is a bit overwhelming for me. In one year, there are four seasons, and in each season, famous brands compete to release their collections to the market.From those that only release them as limited exclusive items to items sold in each store with a relatively limited number. But still, branded items are only produced in one period, so even in large quantities, the edition is still limited. If the item runs out this season, those who didn't manage to get it still won't get

    Vanessa's povI stared in surprise as I turned around and saw Andreas enter the store. He was casually walking towards us, with his lips smiling at me. Andreas stopped right by us.I glanced over and saw Maria staring at Andreas in confusion, her brow furrowed and wondering. "What are you doing here, Andreas?" Maria must have questioned his whereabouts.I turned my gaze in the other direction. Andreas was making it awkward for me to stand there. I scratched my forehead as Andreas' eyes flicked to me and lowered my gaze to avoid exchanging glances with him.I briefly felt Andreas' gaze on me, and then he turned away with a smile, looking at Maria. "I happened to be around, so I dropped by to join you." He turned his gaze towards me. I was instantly stunned that Maria had noticed me because of his gaze. "I asked Vanessa, and she told me."Damn, Andreas!He is a madman! How can he say that I told him? I didn't tell him our location because I didn't want him to come. But what did he do?

    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
