Vanessa's pov

What's going on?

I stared intently at my phone screen. My curiosity got the better of me as a fishing line appeared and was sent to me as a news recommendation.

To add to my curiosity, there was a baiting sentence with my picture and Andreas' picture on the cover.

"What the hell?" I checked my social media and saw that so many online news portals had me and Andreas as their trending head.

I sat on a nearby chair, holding on to the table's flat surface to keep my body balanced.

It was really surprising. All the attention was drawn to me and Andreas. My head throbbing with pain, I put down my phone, not intending to read further into what was posted there.

I bow my head, which feels tight, massaging the throbbing temples with my eyes closed.

"Why does everything have to happen at the same time?" I took a deep breath and released it heavily. "Before I can solve one problem, another one comes along. It really pisses me off." I rested my shoulders on the chair I was sitting o

    Jaxon's POV"What's wrong with you, Jaxon?" asked my mom, who came into my room when she saw me lying down with a smile.I then glanced at Mom, who came in with a medicine box to re-treat my wounds from that day caused by Jordan's brutality.When I think of that jerk, I'm still very emotional. He made me get hurt like crazy. I mean, he went crazy by making me almost die and then throwing me into a remote place where there were no vehicles or people.It was clear that she intended to kill me. She probably expected to hear the news of my death the next day, you old bastard!I couldn't teach him a lesson in return for his behaviour directly, but that didn't mean he could get away from me.I expanded my smile, ignoring the pain at the corner of my lips that was still turning blue. "Nothing, I was just imagining things." I'd better not tell Mom about what I did just yet.No one should know about what I did because I'm sure either Vanessa or Jordan will suspect me of what happened first, bu

    Jaxon's POV"Fools, what do they know about that family," I swore uncontrollably at the morons who commented on the internet. "Unless they are harmed directly, they will think the same as me. It's okay. This is just the beginning of what I have in store for them." I smiled, feeling amused, and then I went downstairs because my stomach was hungry.But downstairs, I stared irritably at the empty dining table, as well as the refrigerator that was in the same condition as the dining table. "Mom, how could she go out without preparing any food for me." I cursed in annoyance, letting go of my swing on the refrigerator door, which I pushed so hard that it banged.I chuckled, my mood becoming agitated again. "My fate is like this all because of Vanessa. If only she had given me a child, if only she had been honest about her parents, there was no way I would have mistreated her. I must be treating her like a queen because, with her, I'll become a king." I clenched my hands tightly.There was n

    Jaxon's POV"What are you doing to me, mister, Jordan?" I ignored his cold gaze, which made me feel badly treated and strange.It wasn't that I didn't know why I could end up in the police station even after seeing him. I just wanted to hear him say what my mistake was because I was sure it wasn't a mistake.I didn't do anything wrong to him. They weren't the only ones who were harmed without cause because compared to them, I was much more harmed, in that case, I should be the one to sue them.I flailed my arms in an attempt to break the grip of the two large men who claimed to be policemen until my hands slipped out of their grip even though the cuffs on my hands were still binding me. "I didn't do anything wrong, so I'm being held here."Jordan, looking at me coldly, averted his gaze with a fierce laugh. The laughter on her face appeared silently, but it seemed very annoying and offensive. "You didn't do anything wrong, you say?" he arrogantly reminded me of Andreas.Somehow, their

    Vanessa's POVI let out a long sigh when I saw the contents of the comments that entered my social media. I deliberately kept the comment column on my social media to accommodate comments from anyone, deliberately not closing it so that people would not think I was afraid. I indirectly wanted to show them that I didn't feel guilty.Even though it meant that I saw a lot of nasty comments sent on my social media network directly directed at me, I did it anyway. I tried to strengthen my immunity with their scathing comments, but I still haven't gotten used to it.I could honestly brace myself, but this situation was more complicated because it wasn't just about me, it wasn't just about my life, but it affected others. I thought about my father, whose name would be dragged into the situation I caused."Everyone who knows him must be talking about him right now because of me." I felt guilty and bad for him. My hand still held my cell phone, which showed a comment discussing my father there

    Vanessa's POV"Are you okay?" he looked at me with worry.I was silent for a moment and just stared at him, just as I also felt awkward because this was not something we could talk about in a calm state. The pair of circles of my eyeballs could see the burly figure in front of me standing up. He seemed to be waiting for my answer.I didn't like this one of Dad's questions. The answer to her question concerned Andreas, and so far she had always refused to talk about Andreas. So this was quite unusual. Why was he asking?No one supported our relationship. No one wanted to encourage us, and instead, they wished my relationship with Andreas would end. It seemed so unfair.I looked down with a small smile. Dad shouldn't have asked because if he cared, he wouldn't have done something that made me feel difficult. The reason why Andreas and I were separated at this time was Dad, and when he asked about my condition, the situation became funny, even though I was worried about his condition."

    Vanessa's POVA few days have passed since the news about me and Andreas became the talk of the country. From what I heard, Jaxon, who spread the news, got his punishment. Andreas did say he would give her a lesson, but it seems he was too late.I knew Dad had gotten to Jaxon first. He was the one who dragged Jaxon in first and reported him to the police station. Whether he's still there or someone has released Jaxon, I don't know. But if he's free, I'm sure it's only temporary because neither Father nor Andreas will let that happen. That sneaky guy probably found many ways to get away with it. I don't know where he saw them, but yeah. He was indeed quite lucky. He took advantage of his surroundings indefinitely.I don't know what his relationship with Catherine is like. However, if the two of them are still in a relationship, it looks like Catherine will be his savior. Jaxon is nothing, but the people around him are people he can use. However, they don't have the influence to match e

    Vanessa's POVWhat's wrong? Why are you there?I almost stood up when I heard my father's voice on the other end of the line.My shoulders, which had been resting on the chair I was sitting on, now slipped away. I sat up straight, facing him anxiously. "Andreas... Andreas?" I called out to him, but he didn't respond to my question.What are you doing there?I started wringing my hands frantically while waiting for his response. My mind was already imagining somewhere. The last time when Andreas went to see their father, his father gave him a bad response, and I was worried that he would do the same this time.Father can't do this. He can't make things harder for Andreas with his attitude. I couldn't accept that he was being bad to her. Later, he came to see me and asked how I was, which made me lose my temper at the time because of his attitude.I told Andreas about that, too. He had heard my response to him from the phone call. Andreas said he didn't really understand either, but may

    Vanessa's POV"Nothing happened, Vanessa." Andreas' voice replied to my question.Even though he said that it didn't make me any less worried about him. "Are you sure nothing happened? Then why did you turn off our phone line?" I scrunched up my face in annoyance. "You're lying about nothing happening. Something must have happened there. That's why you disconnected the phone." My hands on the steering wheel held the steering wheel so tightly that I could see the veins on my hands.In between the slurs of my conjecture, I heard Andreas breathing heavily. "It's not like that. Absolutely nothing happened."I shook my head. "What are you trying to hide?" obviously, something must have happened there. "There's no way dad came for no reason. Is he back to saying rude things to you, talking to you like you're an insignificant stranger compared to me? Is he making you feel tired, Andreas?""I'm fine, Vanessa." He confirmed it. "Nothing of the sort happened to me. I turned off the phone becaus

    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

"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
