Andreas' POV

I pushed my chair around and leaned my head on it, my eyes staring at the workspace with a gloomy look. Everything looked ominous in my eyes at the moment. Even the charm of the sky that seemed to refresh my eyes never attracted me.

My mind was still dwelling on what happened yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about what Vanessa had said. Did she not feel anything when Mom set me up? Was she really okay? Didn't she believe she was upset or upset that she couldn't acknowledge the relationship?

It didn't make sense for me to say such a thing just because she felt pressured. Why can't she even trust me? "I promised to keep my mouth shut, but she's not refusing to believe my words. Vanessa shouldn't be so doubtful of me." I sighed wearily.

If our positions were swapped, I wouldn't be able to remain in a reasonable state of mind seeing the person I was in a relationship with being set up with someone else right in front of me. But maybe Vanessa didn't have that much feeling f

    Andreas' POV"Let me take you back to your office, Andreas." Jeremy glanced at me as we walked out of the restaurant.I glanced at my phone and checked for any incoming messages Vanessa might have sent me, but it was my secretary's message telling me my pickup had arrived. So, I gave Jeremy a small shake. "No need. I asked the driver to pick me up."Jeremy gave me a confused glance. "I passed by your office. You don't need to ask for a pickup." He silently watched my face. "Ah, where do you want to go?" The thing I like about him is that he is alert and quick to respond.I took a breath. "Doing what you said earlier. I can't put it off any longer, can I?" we passed through the restaurant's main exit and headed to its courtyard, where two cars were parked, waiting and ready to leave.Jeremy covered his laughing mouth. "So you liked her so much that you acted fast. Are you that scared of losing her?"That's right!I was so afraid of losing him. I liked him so much and was so in love wit

    Andreas' POVI stare at myself wrapped in a waist-length towel in front of the bathroom mirror, my hand pointing at the reddened skin on my neck from Vanessa. As her lips touched and felt cold against the surface of my skin, my head went blank. I was stunned at what he had just done.Could Vanessa be that brave?My hand covered my mouth, blocking the smile that appeared there. I cleared my throat and fixed the expression on my face that looked like a fool in the mirror's reflection."She has an unpredictable side, all right. It's cute to see her pulling me close like that." I couldn't stop talking to myself while looking at the reddish marks under my neck.My mind seemed interrupted for a moment earlier when he did that.I got up from there and left my bathroom. Walking to my wardrobe, I grabbed my formal clothes since I had to work today. I sighed, remembering what her agenda was like this month.My eyes gazed at the rows of clothes there in disgust. "Ah, I don't know when I'll be ab

    Catherine's POVFrom what I've heard, charity events held by the upper class are more like parties where they show off how much money they have.They wouldn't dress simply for the occasion. Instead, they would come in their best clothes. So tonight, I will also show off my best appearance to attract the attention of the people there, including Andreas.I smiled, looking at the mermaid-shaped dress I was wearing, and proudly stared at my perfectly protruding breasts. I had what so many women wanted and was loved by all men, so I was full of confidence.I put my hair in a bun and exposed my slender neck to enhance my appearance. "If I can take Jaxon away from Vanessa so easily, I can take Andreas away from her, too. I need to try." I picked up my handbag and left the room.Like every year's agenda, the charity event that the lady was organizing would only be held at the Grand Hotel. I felt lucky because I knew the location of the Grand Hotel well, even though I came without anyone accom

    Catherine's POVNo way, what's happening right now is very unlikely. What the hell is this? Why is that bitch a member of this place and can donate such a fantastic amount?I stared fixedly at the podium, looking at her in a way that I couldn't explain because I felt so tortured right now. My breathing was heavy and unbearable. My legs were too weak to stand upright there, so I needed to hold on to the side of the table."What is this, Catherine? You said that she was nothing but trash? So how could she be a member of this place and be the one to donate such a large amount of money?" my friend walked over and approached me.I brushed off his arm that was touching me. "Shut up, I'm telling the truth." I looked at him sharply. "She's a bitch, I know it myself. She did this because of the man she was with. Yes...It must be because of that man's money." I clenched my fists on the table and turned to stare at Vanessa up ahead, who was getting the attention of all of them.I bit my lower l

    Catherine's POVWhat was wrong with his violent reaction?Could it be that he's not normal? There can't be a man who isn't attracted to me. Even a mirror can't show my beauty from a precise angle, so how can he look at me with such a cold gaze? There's no way someone like him would have a problem with his eyesight.Andreas is too young to have vision problems. He looks fine. Moreover, Andreas is a businessman. If he had a problem with his eyesight, he would have had lasik done a long time ago because poor eyesight would interfere with his work.At this time, let's try to calm down first. I took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly without him noticing. "Sir, i came here to introduce myslelf. For someone with a great family background like you, acting like this is impolite. Let me introduce myself properly to you first. After getting to know me from a few meetings, you might be surprised to know my demeanor."

    Catherine's POVMy family gathering wasn't a fun agenda. I'd rather meet with my friends than meet with them. But this time, I had to be there because of someone challenging to meet in person due to his busy schedule."Have you seen Uncle Erick?" I had been looking for him but couldn't find him anywhere. That man was gathering somewhere until he was nowhere to be seen.One of my cousins pointed to the pavilion outside the main building. "I saw him there earlier with the others." I patted his arm and quickly moved there before he went out of sight again.Uncle Erick was notorious for stirring up controversy in the family. If we needed to get down and dirty, going to him was the right course of action. He knows what he has to do without us explaining everything; he's experienced in his field, and there's no doubting his abilities.I cast my eyes around the pavilion and found him just as he was about to exit it with a cigarette. I quickened my pace to catch up with him. "Pama Erick! Wai

    Vanessa’s POVMy eyes stared at the glass wall that showed the street scene in front of me. I stared boldly at the place as nothing caught my attention at the moment. As my eyes moved to look around me, all I could see were couples sitting and joking sweetly in front of me, making me smile bitterly at them and lowering my gaze.I took a deep breath with my lips forming an inward hollow and my tired expression devoid of interest. I slowly scooped out the pieces of cake on my plate so that he wouldn't quickly leave another empty plate on the table.I released a soft sigh from my lips, then moved my eyes to check the other direction and found the figure I was waiting for coming from the entrance and smiling at me. Unconsciously the expression on my face changes, welcoming him enthusiastically.Andreas walked over and sat on the seat in front of me. "You look like you missed me a lot, your face immediately changed expression when you saw me coming."The corners of my raised lips dropped 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
