The entire ride back home, Lyra slept in Derrick's arms. He held on to her, watching her face as he carefully sneaked a kiss or two. It was good that Raine was still fast asleep because of Zin. Derrick was fine with it since it would only mean that he would act normally with his underlings. "How's hell?" Dame casually asked. "It's hell indeed," Derrick responded. Once he saw that Zin was about to talk, he signaled for him to stay quiet. "She's still asleep; don't you dare wake her up." Zin bit his tongue in order to not mess up. By the way his master glared at him, he knew that he would get more than a scolding as punishment. Derrick's eyes are only kind and filled with loving emotions when he's looking at her lovely face. It was obvious; he's willing to risk everything for this woman. The tough exterior that he has disappears in a second when he's with her. It was late in the night when Lyra woke up. The familiar arrangements in the room made her feel at ease. She could tell tha

"Derrick," Lyra tried to shake her man awake. "Did you hear what I just said?" Lyra was amazed to see Derrick still sleeping after she just poured her heart out. In her mind, it was clear. She wants to show her true feelings towards Derrick, expecting at least a little smile, just so she can tell that it was a happy moment for him too. But she got none of that. Derrick snored. Earlier, she found it cute. But slowly, she began to sigh over it. It was the most anticlimactic confession in the whole universe. Lyra can't stop thinking about how lame she might have sounded. The timing was not right. She could feel her toes involuntarily curl while reliving the scenario in her head. Perhaps, him being asleep was better. At least she could pretend that nothing happened and feel less awkward about it. To make herself feel better, she chose to watch him sleep. His beauty was enough to make her forget everything and feel happiness in her heart. She was smitten. She used her fingertips to car

Lyra woke up early. It's Monday, and she still has a lot to do. They're on their way to the company to participate in the meetings. There are a lot of things to talk about, especially since Derrick just decided to dive deep into his dark plan. Zin has already started looking for new shareholders and investors. He got giddy, poaching the businessmen that used to back up Elvis. Aside from that, Dame is beginning his Master's new order. This is their secret purchase of shares in Elvis' company. Derrick was not happy with the old man's decisions in the past. especially what he did to threaten and injure Lyra. It made his blood boil, and now Derrick could feel nothing but rage towards him. If it were possible, Lyra would not continue with their plan to exact revenge on the old monster; it's just that with everything that has happened, she would no longer be able to stop Derrick from doing Elvis' bad deeds again. When she told him to let the old man go, to forget him, and to stay away from

Lyra watched her own reflection in the mirror as she practiced her smile. It was stiff and awkward, but she’s trying her best to improve it. She grabbed the pencil she kept in her pocket and chuckled to herself. It's bizarre how she's about to attempt to imitate the silly video she just watched, in which a girl practiced her smile while biting a pencil. It was a bit unusual, of course, but Lyra wanted to try it to see if it would help her out. It is her first photoshoot with Derrick, and the whole world will be able to see it. She will never let herself look as if she has indigestion. Also, knowing how easy it will be for Derrick to look stunning, she feels enormous pressure to keep up. She doesn’t want the world to look at her and ask themselves why a man like him allowed himself to get caught up with her."What the hell are you doing?" She was just thinking about him when Derrick entered the office. He worriedly walked towards the fridge to grab some sweet bread. "There are a lot of

The burning in her eyes from all the flashes gave Lyra a slight headache, but that did not stop her from giving the photoshoot her all. She made sure to never let Lian get a bad shot of her, which wasn’t as difficult as she thought. Upon reviewing the photos, everyone would agree that she killed it. Even if Lian tried her best to make her pose in an awkward way at first, the camera loved her face. It didn’t matter from which angle the photo was taken; her beauty was enough to save her from it all. The woman who has been bothering Derrick all morning, Lian, was more than pissed. She was fuming as the whole crew started clapping and cheering after each and every photo that flashed on the viewing screen. She’s more than aware that they both look good, especially when she was the one who took the photograph. However, she forced herself into this job with other reasons in mind. She was very interested in getting to know Derrick. Somehow, Lian was convinced that he only chose to be with Ly
