Noella's POV"Noella, stay with me here until I fall asleep. And don't leave until I'm completely asleep, got it?" he said with slightly wistful eyes. When Enrick asked me to help him fall asleep, I was slightly surprised by his unusual request. But I understand that when you're sick, he just wants to feel more comfortable in his bed. Nervous, I nodded."But let go of your hands first. I'll help you take off your suit, shoes, and watch so that you can sleep more comfortably later," I coaxed gently. I helped him take off his coat, then buttoned his shirt one by one so that the heat wouldn't get worse. Not forgetting his shoes and socks. Lastly, the watch. I felt his soft eyes, never failing to look at me, even in every little movement. "Do you need anything?" I asked when I had finished doing everything necessary. "Nothing. It's just that I can't sleep if the light is still on. So can you turn it down?" I nodded and walked towards the wall, where there was a switch to turn off the
Darren’s POVI was sitting at my desk. My face probably looked tense and like it was full of trouble. Looking at the pile of files on the desk, I sighed inwardly. "I can't seem to get any work done, even though I've been sitting at my desk all day," I muttered in frustration as I rubbed my temples, which were starting to hurt. My forehead was throbbing; it was bothering me. I pause for a while. Straightening my back, I catch my breath and get back to work. It didn't work. Still, my head throbbed. "When will this be done?" I complained again, thinking of the various unresolved issues within the company, like being trapped in an endless maze. There was never an end to it.Several times, I cursed under my breath when I couldn't find a bright spot in the company's problems. "Why is everything so complicated?" I sighed as I matched the data from the files and my laptop. "There are so many reports that are not in order," I muttered.I grabbed my phone and tried to take my mind off the wor
Darren’s POVSuddenly, the woman broke free of my embrace, turning and facing me with quick movements. "I don't want to, Darren. I want it now," she said, like a child who must be fulfilled immediately if she wants something. "I can't, sweetheart. I've got a lot of work to do. Why don't we have some fun tonight," I coaxed, which didn't seem to work if she was in that mode. She didn't recognize the word 'no.' She came closer and took my hand, looking at me seductively. "Come on. You can continue later, Darren," she coaxed again. "I'll relieve the stress you're feeling. Okay?" I was starting to get seduced as her gestures got tighter and tighter as she rubbed against my front. She's very good at seduction, and it's one of her specialties. As I continued to whimper, I gently ran my hands over my chest. Instantly, my body stiffened at the touch. How could he make me feel like that, even amid the chaos I was feeling?"Next time, Emma. I really can't leave this job," I refused again. I n
Darren's POVI'm back to the office work that can't be left behind. I had to make sure that this time, the problem was solved, and I could breathe a sigh of relief. But after several hours of work, even though my eyes couldn't escape the stack of files in front of me and my monitor screen was filled with emails and reports, I couldn't get anything done. My mind seemed to be trapped in thoughts of Noella. I couldn't help but think about her. "Shit. How can I work if I'm only thinking about that woman?" I cursed in annoyance that none of my work was getting done. I can't keep working like this while a woman like Emma might be doing something to him. I had to make sure she was safe so that I could also work in peace. Without thinking, I quickly grabbed my coat, cell phone, and wallet and left my office. I took quick steps towards the office where that woman worked. I couldn't stop my uneasy feelings, and I would calm down if I saw that it was safe. When I got there, it was already lu
Darren's POV"Don't get cocky, Noella. I can't accept that you've rejected my good intentions. Are you saying you don't want to know me anymore? You should be grateful that you were once my lover. And as my ex-lover, it should be an honor for you. I've helped you, raised your status, and lived in luxurious places, nice vehicles, and beautiful clothes. But why did you choose to hate me instead?" I moaned in front of her face. Noella looked at me coldly, but no words escaped her lips. Maybe she feels surprised and hurt that I brought up our past. But I don't care anymore."I'll make sure you live a calmer and more comfortable life with me than you do with her. I guarantee your life will be better than it is now. "Instead of you being his servant and living a miserable life, wouldn't it be better to be with me?" I reassured her. "Stop, Darren," she said with a serious look."I'll save you from Enrick if you ask me to take you back. Stay with me and you'll be fine. But why are you so st
Noella’s POVI was still frozen in place when I realized who the person was who had thrown Darren so easily onto the street. His face looked scary, sinister, and sharp. His eyes radiated a cold aura, sending chills down my spine. My heart raced as he stood there, silent and staring at me with an intensity that scared me. "En, Enrick," I muttered in a trembling voice. "Weren't you out of town on business? Why are you back? Is your business done?" I asked him who hadn't said anything yet. "I felt uneasy about leaving you here alone. So I decided to go back and bring you. I didn't expect to see you with another man," he said flatly. "But I didn't..." I was nervous when he thought otherwise. "Don't worry, dear. I was just joking. You wait here. I'll take care of that little bitch. You just wait," Enrick said and turned to Darren. Before long, Enrick was right before Darren, who was certainly taller than Enrick. Face, body, name, and wealth, Enrick was far above Darren, and that was wh
Noella’s POVEnrick's company was working on many projects this month. That's why the sounds of printers, tapping keyboards, and ringing phones blended into a symphony of corporate life that never seemed to stop. Almost all the employees were excited because of the report deadline. But in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Noella sat at her desk, eyes glued to Enrick's empty desk because the owner had gone somewhere else. "It feels lonely when he's not there," I muttered weakly, then let out a long breath. "Should there be an important meeting over the weekend?" I lamented, remembering his hectic schedule for the next two weeks. I looked back at my computer screen that displayed my unfinished work. "I have to finish this report before the deadline." I exhaled again and went back to dragging my fingers over the PC keyboard. But the more I tried, the harder it became, even if I forced my mind to focus. Usually, Enrick would offer me coffee or just make me blush with a smile. But by
Noella’s POVI stepped cautiously into Enrick's room, where the source of the strange noise was coming from with curiosity. But my expression changed drastically when I could see a woman who was on top of Enrick's body with provocative movements. While Enrick was lying on the bed and just staying still.I was pretty surprised to see the scene right before my eyes. Until subconsciously, my eyes widened, and my lips clenched tightly. The woman was moving with seductive movements as if she were luring Enrick with her alluring charms. Her hands were fingering every inch of Enrick's muscular body, even with his body twisting like a snake on the prowl."Enrick," I called softly.The woman heard my voice and immediately turned around. Realizing my presence, she pretended to be surprised and immediately picked up Enrick's suit lying on the floor. Then, she wore it in slow motion to cover most of her exposed body like she was deliberately provoking me with her actions. "Oh my, Mr. Enrick. We'
