CHAPTER 21: Ceasing Production

The atmosphere on Erin's floor was charged with tension, evident in the uneasy demeanor of her colleagues. Speculation buzzed through the air, fueled by the collective belief that Mika Luchesi, Michael's sister, held a pivotal role as their primary supplier. Erin, sensing the palpable nervousness, surveyed her surroundings. The air was thick with apprehension, and she could tell her boldness was unsettling to her coworkers. Fixing a stern gaze on Mika, Erin sought to establish a protective stance, ready to confront any potential threats. "You have no right to harm anyone on my staff!" Erin's voice cut through the tension, earning admiration from those who perceived her willingness to go to great lengths to safeguard her team, even against a major supplier like Mika. Jenna, aiding Mika to her feet, responded defiantly, "He's just a bodyguard! Would you really jeopardize Yurich's ties with Makeup and Co. to protect that man?" "Whether it's a bodyguard, janitor, or any other Yurich e

CHAPTER 22: Rumors

Erin was well aware that her spoken commitments carried significant weight. Yet, she remained resolute in her determination to delve into the matter. Upon her return to her office, she promptly dispatched messages to the outlets where Yurich cosmetics were available. "That was a bold move, Erin," Orion remarked as he closed the door. During meetings, Erin had to wear a Bluetooth monitor, ensuring that Orion could hear the discussions taking place on the board. She didn't mind, fully aware that he was the actual shareholder in Yurich, not herself. She had no plans to speak with the man, but she raised her gaze to Orion, wanting to ask if he also lacked trust in her. "While it's accurate that makeup has a two-year expiration once opened, it's crucial to grasp that each product still retains chemicals. I'm concerned about potential lawsuits from customers who might develop skin allergies. Therefore, it's necessary to dispose of these makeup items," Erin explained. "How do you p

CHAPTER 23: Contemplating

Orion tenderly caressed Erin's cheek, his fingers delicately tracing the contours of her cheeks, ears, and neck. He tightened his embrace around her, relishing the pleasure that surged through his body as she pressed against him once again. This was a sensation he had yearned for in the past few days. "You feel so good, Erin. I've longed for these lips," he murmured, his thumb gently brushing against her lips, accompanied by a sharp pang in his chest. "Thank you for the flowers!" Erin exclaimed; her gaze fixed on the expansive bouquet. The flowers were Orion's way of expressing apology. Initially, he had planned to create some distance, sensing her determination to avoid him. Despite his desire to be near her, he could perceive the pain in her eyes as he stood beside her. Yet, the harsh reality struck him deeply. "Have you forgiven me?" Orion inquired simply. "My feelings are rather delicate," she replied with a playful tone. "I'm truly sorry about that morning." Orion co

CHAPTER 24: Controlled

The following day, Erin met with Monica at a venue specified by the latter. To her surprise, it turned out to be an event hall bustling with activity – the music was booming, and models and staff were engrossed in their tasks, creating an energetic atmosphere. Erin couldn't help but think, 'It seems like Monica has orchestrated for me to work tonight.' All she knew was that a conversation with Monica was on the agenda. Unprepared for the occasion, Erin wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it. Having been absent from the industry for a year, she believed such gatherings required thorough preparation. In the midst of the vibrant crowd, Erin spotted a woman with short, straight black hair cascading down to her shoulders. "Hello! I'm Erin Villaverde!" The woman scrutinized Erin from head to toe. Her expression soured upon observing her. "I'm Monica. So, you're that Erin. Your skin is dry, and you look old because of your eye bags! Don't you use any skincare?" Erin

Orion's exploring hands tenderly traced the contours of Erin's longing cheeks as he fixated his eyes on her. "God! I've missed you so much, baby girl!" he exclaimed, gently kissing her forehead before capturing her lips again. His lips and tongue traversed in the dance of their mouths, exchanging breaths with Erin. Erin willingly embraced Orion's kisses, finding solace in his words that effortlessly erased her doubts, dispelling any troubles in her heart. "You smell so nice," Orion murmured as his nose grazed the delicate L-shape of her neck. His eyes conveyed myriad emotions, subtly pulling at the string of her robe, his palm discreetly slipping beneath the fabric. Orion's lips continued their journey, tracing down the curve of her neck and the crook of her chest. Erin was nearly breathless, feeling the intense sensations coursing through her veins. "Naked and ready, I see…" he whispered, playfully reddening her cheeks. His gaze traced the contours of her figure, and at th

CHAPTER 26: Daryl’s Death Anniversary

"Nothing," Orion replied, observing Danica's puffy eyes. "Dad was just asking me if you wanted to return to the city and handle some matters at the office." Orion believed Danica was content with his response, yet an underlying nervousness lingered. "I'm sorry, Dad. I prefer to stay at the resort on the island," Danica responded. Mr. Arvesso nodded, but his gaze held a significant message directed at Orion. "Just as I thought," Orion whispered. They all made their way to the car to head home, but Orion's attention was drawn to a white envelope tucked into Mr. Arvesso's car wiper. Furrowing his brow, Orion glanced around; though a few people were in the area, everyone appeared preoccupied. Who could have placed that there? "Why is there an envelope on your car, Uncle Niel?" Drew asked. "I don't know. Someone is probably playing a prank on me," his dad said. Orion pulled the white envelope, and to his surprise, he discovered his name inscribed on it. "Orion,"

CHAPTER 27: Tragedy

Erin awoke with a heavy sensation in her chest, the strange atmosphere lingering from the previous day, which marked the anniversary of Daryl's death. Despite the weight of the occasion, Orion had not sent her a message, a silence she comprehended. Therefore, she was taken aback when he unexpectedly arrived at her penthouse last night. Anger simmered in Orion's eyes, and she sensed the pain residing in his chest. Regardless of her own feelings, Erin knew she needed to fathom his perspective as Daryl's older brother, enduring the relentless ache until the truth surfaced. The previous night, Orion displayed gentleness despite the weight of pain crushing their hearts. Erin willingly surrendered herself to the experience, embracing him fully. She harbored no regrets, for he held the sole place in her heart. She had to feel him. Erin's emotions would have grown weary if Orion hadn't shifted in bed, meeting her teary eyes. He tenderly kissed her forehead, drawing her closer to his embra

CHAPTER 28: Connection

"O?" Erin's voice interrupted Orion as he spoke with Drew on the phone. He turned to find Erin clad only in a robe. "Sorry, I have to go," he quickly apologized to Drew. "Damn! You're leaving me in suspense after telling me your news?" Drew complained. "Talk to you soon. Sorry!" Orion ended the call with Drew and turned his attention to Erin, who was barefoot. "You'll get cold," he cautioned. The outdoor area was windy, especially since it was dark and they were on a high floor. Orion carried Erin and guided her back inside. "It was Drew. I'll introduce you to him and Lily next week. Master Walton invited me to his birthday, and you'll be my plus one," Orion explained. Erin couldn't steady her gaze, revealing her nervousness. "Don't fret, Erin. Perhaps you're concerned that I've invited you to the party because of Mr. Walton. You're the one who expressed that Mr. Lawrence is the one you consider as your dad. There's no need for concern about others; just believe in your relat

CHAPTER 29: Impossible Wish

Erin felt a wave of sadness engulf her after the doctor shared Zach's current health condition. Anxiously, she couldn't sit still beside him, awaiting him to wake up. "Miss Erin, why don't you call his family?" Marco suggested. Understanding his concern, Erin looked at the clock; it was almost dawn, and they had been at the hospital, tirelessly monitoring her friend's condition. Exhausted but determined, they hadn't taken a break. "I don't know, Marco. I'll wait for Zach to wake up first. His family might not be aware of this situation, so I don't want to interfere," Erin replied. "They didn't know..." Zach's weak voice interrupted. Erin and Marco both flinched as Zach opened his eyes, gazing at them. "Oh my God, Zach! We decided to check your house because it's unusual for you not to respond to my messages." "May I talk to Erin privately?" he requested, turning his gaze towards Marco. Marco shrugged and exited the private ward, leaving Erin and Zach alone with a shared s

CHAPTER 30: Help From Waltons

After a few days, Erin attended Master Walton's birthday celebration, surrounded by the lavish ambiance of the ballroom adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers and extravagant flowers. Soft jazz melodies filled the air, and the atmosphere shimmered with the laughter and delicate interactions of the attendees. Dressed in a three-piece suit, Orion approached Erin, leaning in to speak privately amid the festive surroundings. "Do you know what I'm thinking right now?" he asked, his words meant only for her ears. Curious, Erin responded, "What?" "I want to ruin what you're wearing, see what's underneath," Orion replied unabashedly, evoking a giggle from Erin. "It's Master Walton's birthday, O," she reminded him. "I know," he pouted, "but it's your fault for being so beautiful." Erin's cheeks blushed as they exchanged sultry glances, only to be interrupted by someone clearing their throat nearby. Erin straightened up when she saw Drew and Lily approached. Drew p
