The event was for the launch of their company's latest achievement; a cutting-edge virtual assistant technology, automated to perfection, was being held in one of the most luxurious venues in Munich known for its high-tech innovations, and the atmosphere was nothing short of awe-inspiring.A sleek, red, newest edition luxury Rolls-Royce glided to a stop in front of the grandeur venue, as its polished surface reflected the multitude of flashing lights from paparazzi, and an able-bodied chauffeur stepped out of the car instantly to the back side of the car. He opened the back door smoothly, and Ivan stepped out, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit that highlighted his tall, athletic frame, as he stood with an effortless allure and sophistication. As the spotlight caught his face, he turned slightly, extending a hand into the car, to Skylar, who was already trying to help herself out. Her heart skipped and she hesitated where the kind gesture was coming from. Still skeptical about t

The sound of Skylar's fall echoed through the event room, drawing the attention of nearby guests, as laughter rippled through the crowd when they all saw her sprawled on the ground. “Clumsy,” someone muttered, and the hateful word stung more than the pain in her ankle. “She doesn't deserve to even be here. Now she just ruins the mood,” another spat maliciously, her eyes rolling disdainfully. “That is what happens when you try so hard to fit in,” A jibe escaped another. “Such lowlife.” “An embarrassment!” Their mean words painted Skylar's ears dirty, and shattered her head mercilessly, so that she almost cried right on that spot, heavily mortified by what had just ensued. “You should watch where you are going,” the lady, whose heels she had tripped on muttered, her eyes rolling contemptuously, “I am sure your dress wouldn't hurt so much to reimburse. It is a knockoff after all,” her words dripped spite. Just as Skylar was about to push herself up and scurry away from the m

The morning light filtered faintly through the floor-to-ceiling windows and shone brightly on her sleeping face, which caused her to stir noticeably, and her eyes slowly fluttered awake as she came to the awareness of her surroundings. As she stretched languidly, her eyes suddenly widened in shock as the memories of the previous day flooded her head in vivid detail. She couldn’t help the awkwardness that settled in her chest as a soft gasp escaped her, and the thoughts of him sleeping behind her made her heart skip. Carefully, she slowly began to turn her head, hoping that he would still be sleeping, so that she might save herself from further embarrassment from seeing his face. However, he was gone when she turned her face. Instantly, emotions swirled within her as she sat up and glanced around the room, half expecting to see him pop out somewhere, even if there was a sort of uncertainty settling in her heart from the hesitation about seeing him already. Nude, Skylar cl

Kali stood behind the counter, her facial expression still in its usual state of indifference as she wiped down the wooden surface carefully, and focused intently on what she was doing, that she had not seen who made their way into the café right at that moment. Casually strolling inside, Leo's eyes briefly scanned the vibrant room, before making his way straight to the counter to order his favorite coffee, with the thought of enjoying the beautiful scenery the café had to offer, while waiting for his friend to finally pick up his call. It was then that he saw her in her usual fierce demeanor as she carefully began to mill fresh coffee beans in the coffee grinder, but with a facial expression that seemed rather softer than the previous night at the bar, and he had never been so shocked. He had not expected to see her in such a place where everything seemed so cozy and beautiful, which was a sharp contrast to where he had last seen her. And he was instantly awed by the realization

The conference room buzzed with excitement as the team gathered for the post-event debrief that morning, to talk about the success of the new product pop-up event that had been completed the previous day. Ivan leaned back in his chair, listening intently as the head of PR began the discussion, while Skylar sat miles away in a corner of the meeting room as usual, intently taking notes. “The event has exceeded all expectations,” the PR lead began, glancing at the digital presentation projected on the wall, “Celebrities and socialites have already been spotted using the new virtual assistant technology automation system, and social media are buzzing with hashtags about the product, as well as the purchasing website. Influencers are posting stories, and even some of the most hard-to-reach tech reviewers are giving it high marks,” he said, with a professional demeanor, even if he struggled to contain his bliss. Ivan fought a satisfied smile that was about to curve his lips, as he lis

“Where has your phone been all day?!” Leo half-yelled at the other side of the phone as soon as Ivan picked up his call.“I didn't see any missed calls,” he had a surprise on his face as he tilted the phone away from his ear as if to check if he had truly missed his call. “You never see them,” A sigh escaped him. “Are you okay?” Ivan was more concerned about that, noticing that his ever-bubbly and energetic friend seemed to sound so languid from the other side, “You don't sound too good.” “Yeah, I am not,” Leo replied lazily. “You finally got kicked out for giving bad therapy?” He teased, a taunting smile dancing on his lips. “Worse!” “What?” Ivan gave a startled gasp, upon realizing that Leo seemed to be in a more bad situation than he thought, “What is up with you?” He couldn't help but ask. “Yeah, so I am in Manchester right now, and I have been shot in the heart,” he revealed plainly, unable to hide his feelings. “You are in Manchester?” Ivan's forehead wrinkled in surpr

“Let me see,” Ivan said, his voice low but firm, as he gently took her hand in his, looking intently at the cut skin with so much concern scribbled on his face, his thumb brushed over the wound with a feather-light touch, his expression darkening with worry. “You should have been careful,” he murmured, his voice a hushed whisper as he chided her as if speaking to himself. The air between them grew thick with a palpable tension that made her pulse quicken, as Skylar watched him intently, feeling the warmth of his hand against hers. The room seemed to shrink, the noise of the world fading away, leaving only the sound of their breathing, as his fingers moved, so tenderly, as if afraid of causing her more pain. Quickly, Ivan sauntered to where the drawers were and grabbed the small first-aid kit that was inside, before he quickly pulled out an antiseptic wipe and began to clean the bloody cut. “Sorry,” he whispered when she inhaled sharply in reaction to the sting, his breath warm a

“We found a donor!”Were the words that continued to ring in Skylar's mind as soon as she received a call from the hospital, and till she got back to Manchester on the plane together with Ivan, she could barely breathe or speak. It felt like a miracle she hadn’t dared to believe could happen. Her knees had weakened, as she struggled with her tears, which radiated the happiness in her heart, that her woman who had always been her pillar, was finally getting a chance at life again. Right after she and Ivan arrived at the HAVAN empire hangar, she was driven to the hospital by one of the company's chauffeurs, and it took a lot of convincing for her to stop him from accompanying her. It was to keep their boundaries and the media straight. They could not have another problem upon their arrival. Skylar scurried toward the ICU after she met with the doctor, her feet moving faster with each step until she was practically running until she got to the front of her mother's ward, where she cou

Skylar sat behind her desk at the office, her fingers resting idly on the keyboard of the desktop before her, her mind drifting to the thoughts of how she had convinced Ivan to come back to work, because he insisted that she stayed with her mother. Truth be told, she wished she could. But the kind offer was too much for her to even accept, knowing that he was the reason why her life had not completely fallen apart with the pressure of standing in line for a donor, and paying piles of endless bills. He was the reason why her life had been receiving the beautiful rays of sunlight, when, before him, her life had always been cloudy, wet, and filled with darkness. He had given her many reasons to be happy with life. The launching event of the new virtual assistant technology automation system had been completed a day before, which had kept him extremely busy with endless hologram meetings and limited their seeing one another. However, even with how things seemed to be going well, her h

As Skylar made her way home after dropping by the hospital where she was told the results of her mother's test would be out in two days, she could not help but worry about the shocking encounter she had witnessed in the office earlier. She had not expected Ivan to come out of his office right at the moment when she wanted to call him, and she was about to tell him of the person who had asked to see him when his voice startled her so terrifyingly in ways she had not seen before. It was the first time she had seen him in such a vicious and extremely furious demeanor. It scared her a bit. “What the hell are you doing here?!” he demanded again, his voice cutting through the air as the smile that initially curved his lips vanished, and was replaced by a hard line, his eyes narrowing into a deadly glare as he felt anger surging through his veins, every nerve alert and burning with irritation. Grayson, of course, didn’t flinch, and as if amused, the grin he had on his lips widened,
