Noella’s POVI pushed Enrick's wheelchair slowly towards his room. The cool night air couldn't erase the fatigue that was evident on her face after being out of the room all day. The encounter with the maid was quite draining and emotional. He wanted to rest immediately and I would make sure he would be comfortable in his bed. Upon arriving at the room, I quickly prepared the bed and pillows so that he could rest in peace. After making sure everything was ready, I helped Enrick move from the wheelchair to the bed. He carefully lay down and let out a long sigh, looking relieved to be able to lay down on the bed. I sat on the edge of his bed, looking at Enrick with concern. "Are you comfortable? Do I need to add a pillow?" "No need, Noella. It's comfortable enough for me," Enrick replied returning my gaze. "Enrick," I called softly, "I want to know, how did that happen to you? I know you're a very careful and alert man. But how did that happen?" I honestly still couldn't believe En
Noella’s POVTwo days later, I walked to Enrick's room, to check on him. But when I opened the door, the room was empty. The bed was made, a sign that he hadn't left his room long ago. I sighed, trying to guess where he was. Suddenly, I thought of his workplace. With quick steps, I made my way to Enrick's study which was not far from his room. The reading room that she had transformed into a workspace. Upon opening the door, I was immediately greeted by an elegant and calm atmosphere. The room was dominated by shades of beige and ivory white, giving off a warm and clean impression. The walls were decorated with several abstract paintings that gave it an artistic touch, while bookshelves full of thick books lined up neatly along the walls. Enrick sat behind his large, elegant desk made of dark wood that contrasted with the ambience of the room. He looked very serious, staring intensely at his computer screen. The desk was full of files."No wonder I saw Calend earlier. She brought wo
Darren’s POVThat afternoon, the weather was clear. The sun was shining warmly, casting a soft golden light all around. The wind blew softly, carrying the fresh scent of the flowers blooming in the garden. I sat on the terrace, enjoying my hot tea with such a relaxing view. Unfortunately in front of me, Emma sat with an annoyed look on her face, seemingly wasting the beauty of this afternoon. I lifted my teacup. Sipping the contents slowly, feeling the warmth and distinctive aroma of the tea. "Would you like to drink the tea I just bought from France?" I asked like a royal when drinking tea.Emma shook her head violently, her eyes sharp. "No, thank you," she replied simply.I sighed, putting the teacup back on the table. "You don't look happy. Do you have something to say?"She looked at me with emotion. "Darren, I can't understand how you can be so calm after everything that's happened? How can you sit here, enjoying your tea, as if nothing happened?"I shrugged calmly. "Emma, I'm j
Darren’s POVLate at night, my mother and I arrived at the event that was taking place in a luxurious ballroom in the city center. As soon as we entered the room, I was stunned for a moment. This ballroom was truly magnificent. The high ceilings were adorned with giant sparkling crystal chandeliers, emitting a warm glow that created an elegant atmosphere. The walls were upholstered in a soft gold-colored silk fabric, giving it an undeniably luxurious feel.In the center of the room, round tables upholstered in crisp white cloth were neatly arranged, each decorated with fresh flowers in crystal vases. On each table, there were fine china plates, shiny wine glasses, and perfectly arranged silverware. A small stage was located at the end of the room, where a group of musicians played soft, soothing jazz music. Neatly dressed waiters in black and white uniforms moved deftly among the guests, offering various drinks served in elegant glasses. I saw a variety of colorful drinks, ranging fr
Noella’s POVTonight's party atmosphere was magnificent. Enrick and I were in a large ballroom with sparkling crystal chandeliers, creating a luxurious and elegant feel. Decorations of red and white roses adorned every corner of the room, while silk-clad tables were arranged neatly, complete with porcelain plates and sparkling crystal glasses. Classical music played softly, adding to the romantic feel of the night.As we walked around the room, many guests came to say hello. They smiled warmly and greeted us intimately. Some of them complimented our matching looks and congratulated us."Congratulations, Mr. Enrick, we have heard of your wedding plans. May your plans go smoothly," said a middle-aged man in a neat suit.I smiled politely, feeling a little awkward but also happy to hear the congratulations. "Thank you very much," I replied, trying not to sound nervous. The woman next to the man, who looked elegant in a long red dress, added, "We are very happy to hear this good news. Ma
Noella’s POVEnrick's eyes suddenly turned serious as he looked at me. "Do you hate me so much that you want this contract to end immediately?" he asked without warning. That question made me stammer. I didn't know what to answer. "No, it's not like that," I replied, trying to find the right words to explain what I meant. "Really? Then, we'll be in this relationship for a long time," he said in a calm but firm voice.I paused, processing his words. What did he mean? Did he want a more serious relationship or was he just extending the contract for his own sake? The thought raged in my mind, leaving me confused and unsure of what to do. Before I could ask further questions, Enrick had already extended his hand with a charming smile. "Come on, let's go back to the party room. I think I've had enough here."I took her hand, feeling the warmth of her grip. We went back inside with great elegance, and he was not at all awkward when introducing me as his future wife. Everyone we met seem
Noella’s POVI stood in front of Enrick's room, feeling hesitant actually. The hand that was about to knock on the door felt heavy. I tried to take a deep breath, trying to gather courage. But remembering what if Enrick was messing around in his sleep, I couldn't bear it. Finally, after gathering all my courage, I knocked on the door. But not long after, I regretted it. "What exactly was Sasa's intention in saying that? Gosh, I'm such a fool." I shook my head, annoyed with myself. I was about to turn around and return to my room, but suddenly the door in front of me opened. In front of me, stood Enrick wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist. His muscular body was on display. His hips are slim and her abs look perfect. When did he exercise? I've been with him for almost a whole day but I don't know when he worked out to have muscles like that? His hair was wet and he was drying it with a small towel. Water dripped from several parts of his body-hair, chin, Adam's apple, eve
Noella’s POVEnrick's face was getting closer to mine. Making my heart beat faster. His shady, soft eyes were so close that I could feel his breath on my face. His mouth-watering lips were less than twenty centimeters away from me. My heart was a little chaotic, but for some reason I could only stand still. Unconsciously, my eyes closed, preparing to receive a kiss. Seconds passed, but our lips never met. Suddenly, his soft and seductive voice made me open my eyes, "What's wrong, Noella? Why did you close your eyes? Or were you expecting a kiss from me?"My face instantly turned red, and I stammered trying to explain, "I... I didn't think of it that way."Enrick chuckled, his tone seemingly satisfied with making me nervous. "I just wanted to take this petal out of your hair, Noella," he said as he showed me a red petal tucked between my hair. I remember, before I came to Enrick's room, I opened the window, letting fresh air into the room. In front of the window there were indeed a l
