“You're home?” Amelia raised her eyes to look at her as soon as she entered the bedroom, only to see more mess on the floor, which were piles of clothes flying everywhere in the room which she had made sure was perfect before she left that morning. “Yes,” Skylar answered lazily, unimpressed by her presence because of the weariness that settled into her heart the moment she recollected the brawl that almost occurred between them a few days ago. She found out that the dress from the party months ago was missing, and that Amelia sold it on a website because she urgently needed money for some lame-ass reason she gave. She even almost got mad at her for lying that the dress was a fake one, when it was in fact the real deal. It was still an ache that made her crazy because the dress still held her first memory of Ivan so dear, and the last thing she would have wanted to see happen to the dress was finding it hanging in a secondhand store, or someone else wearing it. “I bought you the

It was after the final meeting for the day that Ivan leaned back in his chair in the office with a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips as he replayed the moment in his mind, and could still picture the way Skylar's eyes had widened when he said those words to her when she called him, Mr. Hamilton again, when they were painting together. “Call me by my name,” he had said, his tone gentle but firm while watching her with a curiosity he could barely contain.“What?!” At first, Skylar had blinked, almost as if she hadn’t heard him correctly, and then she gave him an adorable, bewildered look that made her brows knit together in confusion and her lips part slightly as if she was about to protest. And she did protest. “I can't,” she struggled to find the right words, wondering why he would suddenly ask that of her, when she had been calling him Mr. Hamilton her whole life. She wondered how weird that would even sound on a normal day if she read the daily reports to him and

Steam curled up from the coffee machine on the counter at Hafe café, as Kali stood behind the counter, while brewing cups of coffee for customers, and sending their orders for other snacks to the new employee, Imogen. Yet as she moved with focus, making sure the long line of people standing before her due to rush hour decreased rapidly, her mind wasn't focused on the coffee she made so effortlessly. It was at the door of the café, in which every creak of its hinges and little chime of the bell above it, made her heart jump in her chest as her eyes compulsively darted in false expectations. It had been happening to her for days now, and she admitted that she hated it so much. The way her pulse quickened every time the door swung open made her angry, and how she would glance up, expecting and hoping, which would be followed by a sense of relief or maybe disappointment, when it wasn’t him. Leo Coleman. His name had stuck stubbornly in her mind. He was the one who had been disturbing

Skylar made sure to finish her work earlier than usual, her heart pounding with an anxious excitement that had built up in her chest all day, as she incessantly glanced at her wristwatch, while tapping her foot impatiently waiting for time to pass. As soon as work hours were over at the office, she stopped by Kali's at the café to bid her goodbye for the day, and took a cab straight to the hospital instantly, unable to contain her anxiety about what she would hear the doctor say. She desperately hoped that her world would not crumble before her because of whatever the doctor would say, which would inevitably determine the fate of her mother. “I am glad to tell you, Ms. Bailey. The organ is a perfect match for your mother,” Dr. Derin informed her when she visited her office, and Skylar's world stood still for a few seconds, because the good news was too much for her to process at once. It felt too good to be true. “The transplant is being scheduled, and we will get across to you, a

Ivan’s eyes darkened instantly, as he turned to look at Gwen, “Don’t you dare order my secretary around!” he snapped, his tone sharp and cold, “If you want coffee, go and get it yourself!” ‘This woman even knew her way around Ivan's house enough to know where to get her coffee?’ Skylar could not help but wonder uncomfortably, as she continued to keep her emotions in check, while standing fixated on that spot. Gwen instantly whipped her head toward Ivan with a flash of anger crossing her face when he spoke up, and stood on her feet instantly, “Excuse me?” she retorted, crossing her arms with a frown, “Why can she not get me coffee? She is your secretary, isn't she?” “She is my secretary, not yours. If you want something, you get it yourself!” he defended instantly, while Skylar stood confused about what to do in such a situation, “And I do not think I can spare you enough time for you to have coffee in my house,” he added. “What?!” Gwen demanded incredulously, unable to understan

Grayson paced back and forth in the living room of his penthouse with a flute of champagne nestled in between his fingers, his anger struggling to remain at the borderline between rage and composure. On his other hand was his phone, which was held tightly to his ear, as he listened to his mother who was finally about to call him after trying to reach him the entire day, each word from her, making his patience wear thin in anger. “Regardless of how Ivan acts, he is your brother, and will always be. You shouldn't be so mad!” Adelaide snapped in irritation, frustrated that she had to calm him down again just because Ivan would not stop being so petty. A scoff escaped his lips upon hearing what she said, as he glared furiously while staring at his reflection on the floor-to-ceiling windows that had a perfect view of the city below from that height, “Half-brother!” he corrected sharply, his voice dripping with spite. “You are still his family. There is nothing he can do about it,” s

Standing behind the polished marble countertops of the eccentric kitchen in Ivan's kitchen was Skylar, who stood by the tall cooker with her sleeves rolled up, an apron tied around her waist, and her hair rolled up in a bun. Her hand moved deftly as she cut, with accuracy, speed, and precision, carrots, cucumber, and cabbage in different sizes and shapes, while Ivan stood a few feet away, gazing at her with an amused smile.“What are you planning to cook?” he was curious as he watched her. “You can just sit down and watch,” she gave him a quick response, a grin curving her lips, unwilling to divulge the details of what she had in mind to prepare. “Tell me, I can help,” Ivan wouldn't concede to her idea of him sitting and just watching.“I doubt you can do anything here,” she teased him, as she gently placed her left hand on the pound of meat on the table, and carefully filleted it with the knife on her right. “You don’t think I can cook, do you?” he asked with a teasing tone, fold

“So what do you like doing? Your hobbies and things you enjoy doing,” Ivan was more curious about Skylar as the night wore on, as she lay comfortably on the couch in the living room with her head sitting comfortably on his lap. “Working, I think. I have never really had one,” she answered his question truthfully without thinking too much about it. “Seriously? Why?” Ivan's eyebrows furrowed in surprise as he gazed into her eyes, wondering if it was possible that she didn't have a hobby. “Because I have never had a chance to choose or spend time on something I love doing. I have worked all my life,” she responded blankly again without much thought. “I am sorry about that,” Ivan's face suddenly began to be etched with some sense of guilt, and it made Skylar chuckle so affectionately, seeing how he probably blamed himself for that. Her gaze still struggling to hold his own for a long time, a small beautiful smile curved her lips, “No, it is not your fault. Please do not apologize,”

Through the French window in the room, the soft rays of morning sunlight crept through the curtains, and caused Skylar, who was still sleeping, to stir in reaction to the soft radiation that heated her face. Feeling her bones crack and ache, she stretched lazily under the bed covers, as her eyes flickered awake and fixed on the ceiling above for a few seconds. For a moment, everything felt like a dream, and it seemed like she was hallucinating as her mind momentarily reminded her of the way she had woken up shocked the first time she woke up in Ivan's bed. It was still a thought that lingered in her mind, which caused a chuckle to escape her. Slowly and tactically, she turned her head to the other side of the bed where Ivan slept reposefully, with a faint grin tugging at the corners of his lips, his arm draped loosely around her waist. Skylar stared at him for a few seconds with dreamy affection, her eyes sparkling with fondness as she watched him sleep for a few seconds. Her g

Through the revolving doors of the towering office building which spun slowly, Ivan, impeccably dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, strode into the expensive lobby of his company with a commanding aura. Beside him, was Skylar, who followed with grace and elegance, dressed in a sleek sky-blue shirt, white pants, and white pumps. Her hair, which was usually pulled back in a strict bun or ponytail, was loose today, falling softly against her shoulders, and her eyes, which often seemed lost in tasks or schedules, now gleamed with something else. And it was almost the first time that both of them had come inside together in the morning so ostentatiously, that could not help but keep employees who saw them nestled in their endless nosiness as they made their way into his private elevator. A ripple of whispers passed through the open office floor as they walked past the last floor to the hallway that led to their offices, and their heads turned subtly to avoid being seen gawking while p
