Chapter 31

LARA VIAI smiled as I slipped on my heels, my bag ready and waiting on the bed. Today, I'll be using my Prada bag that my Lola gave me back when I was still in Spain. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes drifting to the necklace adorning my neck. I couldn't hide the smile that seemed to have a life of its own."It suits me," I murmured to myself. No matter how much I resisted, I couldn't bring myself to not wear it; it was insistent. And I knew it was legitimate; it had access to his houses and even his wealth. Wasn't he afraid that I might slowly withdraw his money? Well, it seemed like he wasn't running out of money anytime soon. His wine company's branches were incredibly profitable, and he wasn't just a businessman; he was also an engineer, skilled in various professions.Meanwhile, I was just an architect. That's why I still didn't understand why he kept insisting on being around me, especially since he had rejected me before. But I honestly couldn't refuse him or f

LARA VIA"What are you doing? It's time for work, stop being childish, you're all grown up for God's sake. Go back to work, Cedric!" I thought he would help me stand up, but he just looked at me and rolled his eyes before turning away."He's so grumpy!" I've been startled several times by Cole Aiden's loud shouts; I don't know what his problem is, he's in full beast mode. He often changes his mood, and I'm annoyed with him. Even though he doesn't do anything to get my attention, he still manages to grab it with just his actions."How many times do I have to tell you to remove that up there? It's dangerous, but what's going on? It's still there until now! Are you really listening to what I'm saying, huh! Damn it, how many times do I need to remind you all!" I could clearly hear Cole's loud reprimand, especially towards Cedric. I felt like slapping his mouth with a hollow block. He's giving a sermon again! He didn't even greet or smile; tsk."I'm sorry, Engineer, I'll take care of it my

Chapter 33

LARA VIAJust like every other morning, someone would knock on her door incessantly, ringing the doorbell until she opened it. How many weeks has it been since this annoyance started? She couldn't even count anymore, actually. Reluctantly, she got up from the bed. Damn you, Cole Aiden!Ever since that incident between them, her window had become her constant watcher, seemingly aware of her every move. It knew where she went, and she was sure it was assigned to keep an eye on her. She felt like the First Lady of the Philippines, often stared at in crowded places. She wouldn't be surprised anymore because it was all the doing of one person.It was all the doing of that bastard Cole Aiden, making her uncomfortable with every move she made as if someone was always watching her. And it infuriated her! It felt like he owned her with how closely he monitored her!"Good Morning, Philippines!" She slowly raised her hands and stretched. Quickly, she got up to draw the curtains, and as she did,

Chapter 34

LARA VIAI squinted heavily upon hearing the incessant ringing of the doorbell. It was so irritating, such an early disturbance. I was hoping for a quiet morning to rest without any interruptions!As I opened the door, I furrowed my brow at him. He was the one who seemed angry, huh! He was wearing his formal suit, probably just coming from his company. On the other hand, he brought a lot of food. Did he go grocery shopping?"Good morning, did you have a nice sleep?""Hmm, yeah, morning." The truth was, he didn't sleep much last night because this was all that was on his mind. He was pondering what the outcome of his courtship would be. I opened the door wider for him to enter, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes as he entered ahead of me. Wow, so feel at home! I didn't bother changing; I was just wearing a pair of blue pajamas.Why would I bother changing for this guy!"Here, arrange these in the refrigerator. I'll get some more from the car." What the heck! He really went grocery sh

Chapter 35

LARA VIAI feel like I'm losing my mind; I haven't been myself all night. It's just eight letters and three words, so why the heck does it affect me so much? It's as if the walls I've built around myself have been torn down just because of what he said! Damn, calm down, Lara Via, relax. Maybe he just blurted it out because he was caught off guard. Yes, he must have been caught off guard.Damn you, Cole Aiden! You just made me upset! I realized I had unconsciously finished my McFlurry. Aiden didn't even take me home yesterday because he had an emergency meeting at his company. It's probably better if I avoid him; it's annoying how he throws those words around so casually. I wasn't expecting him to say it to me so blatantly.For God's sake, I hardly know how I'm going to recover from what he said. I've been in a daze for hours; it feels like I'm in a dreamland."I Love You.""I Love You.""I Love You."That phrase keeps repeating in my mind, refusing to leave. It's like a broken record

Chapter 36

LARA VIAI couldn't recover from the shock of Cole Aiden throwing the vase against the wall. I couldn't believe he would do that, it's too much! He's so hard to handle, especially when he's angry. I really don't know why he's so angry when he could talk to his employees calmly. In fact, his employees seem pretty nice. He's so lucky to have them."Ohhhh f*ck, Lara!" My eyes widened when I saw the small wound on my arm, but it was enough to make that part bleed. I felt Cole Aiden lift me onto the swivel chair, his hands trembling slightly. I felt a slight stinging sensation on my arm where it was hit by pieces of the broken vase."Get my first aid kit, Rafael!" One of the guys in line, who had apologized earlier if I remember correctly, quickly moved to fetch it. He handed the first aid kit to Cole Aiden, who gave him a slight smile that was met with a scowl. Rafael quickly backed away and returned to his position. Cole Aiden is always so grumpy, it's frustrating."You can all go back n

Chapter 37

LARA VIAIn my entire life, I never imagined myself engaging in such adult activities in an office, and it was even worse when we did it on-site, with someone else knowing! You don't know how embarrassing that was! I still can't believe that the man of my dreams is now in front of me, unlike before when he was so close yet unreachable. But now, he's the one approaching me, and our roles seem to have reversed.He's the playful one now, constantly teasing and flirting with me. I never get tired of seeing him every day; in fact, he brightens up my day. I'm just too shy to admit it because I know he'll tease me relentlessly, and he won't stop teasing me.Over the past years, I've learned many lessons, discovered many things, and realized many truths. In recent years, I convinced myself that I had moved on, but why does my heart beat so fast when I see him again? It's true what they say: you can't just stop loving someone you cherished more than life itself. He's the only man I can imagine

Chapter 38

"Ohhh god, Cole Aiden, ohhh, you're so good," I whispered, my voice trembling with desire as I held onto his desk tightly. Every touch, every kiss from him sent waves of warmth through my body, igniting a fire of passion within me. I was intoxicated by his affection, and I knew that I could never tire of the way he made me feel special. He cared for me and protected me like no one else ever had.His trust in me was unwavering, evident in the way he had given me access to his wealth without hesitation. The necklace he had bestowed upon me was a testament to his belief in my integrity and trustworthiness. Yet, despite his generosity, I couldn't shake the guilt I felt for exploiting his trust. Perhaps one day, when I had established myself as an architect and earned a substantial income, I could repay him. But for now, I was still at the beginning of my career, and my earnings paled in comparison to his, which amounted to millions in a single day."More than good, Lara Via. Face me," his

Chapter 39

LARA VIAI smiled as I looked at the breakfast I prepared for Cole Aiden, unable to contain the small giggle that escaped my lips. I texted him to join me for breakfast, and I really put effort into cooking. I even searched for recipes on Google because I'm really terrible at cooking. It's ironic that while my brothers know how to cook to some extent, I, being the girl, don't.I wasn't sure if it would taste good or not, and I was afraid that it might not be up to Cole Aiden's standards. He seemed to forget about himself amidst his busy schedule at the company. He didn't pay attention to himself; it was all about work, always prioritizing work over health. I've been meaning to talk to him about it for a while now, but whenever I brought it up, he just nodded. I took off the apron tied around my waist and quickly changed into fresh clothes.I became conscious, especially about my appearance whenever I'm with him. You can't help but feel insecure when you're with someone as great as Col

Chapter 40

LARA VIAI know Cole Aiden will refuse to keep this a secret, but I also know that he understands my reasons. Knowing that he has nothing to do with it, for now, keeping this secret is crucial to our relationship.I don't want to shock my parents and grandmother, especially Cole Aiden. I don't want them to resent him. As much as possible, I want to clear his name because he hasn't done anything wrong. Yes, he pushed me, and he broke my young heart, but he did it for my own good, and it was worth it. I wouldn't be here pursuing my dream to become an architect if it weren't for him and his sacrifice.I heard the doorbell ring, and I couldn't help but smile; it must be Aiden! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as I made my way to the door. Oh god, I can't wait to feel his warm embrace; I miss him already. I couldn't help but giggle at the thought; why do I feel so flirtatious and clingy? Oh god, Lara Via, don't act like you miss him so much! He'll tease me for sure, knowing Cole Aiden
