Lara’s POV“Good evening everyone” I say, taking my time to scan the room before resuming my speech, “I really appreciate everyone who made time to be here. I’m most especially grateful for my husband” I say, holding eye contact with Clark before continuing.“My parents” I say, smiling at both Clark and I’s parents who are seated together at a table, “my family” I say, winking at Lai and Belle, “and most importantly my staff, we wouldn’t be here to celebrate the contract with obtained with DV without them” I say, before pausing.“But aside from the contract, we are here to celebrate something remarkable. We just received news that SignaBook is currently the second top book promotion company in all of Yula”The crowd erupts into cheers and applause as they celebrate the news, the flashes go crazy as the media takes several pictures commemorating this moment.“This is an exceptional growth for me, my staff, the business and to everyone who supported us throughout our journey.”“We have

“Thank you for coming” I say, smiling at Clark as we head home. He nods, “you’re welcome, it was a successful event” he replies with a smile on his face.“Congratulations on your company’s new position” he says, briefly turning to face me. “Thanks” I reply tiredly as I stifle a yawn. “You’ve had a long day” he states, “yeah” I mutter, my body feeling like it’s slowly shutting down as I struggle to keep my eyes open.“Why don’t you rest on me” he says, moving closer to me, “are you sure?” I ask, covering my mouth as I yawn. He nods, “it’s just till we get home” he replies.“Thanks” I reply, moving closer to him, before resting my head on his shoulder to make myself comfortable.“Lara” Clark says, gently tapping me, “yeah” I mumble, my eyes still closed as I snuggle against him. He sighs, pulling me to a sitting position, “we are home Lara, we have to get down” he says, keeping me in an upright position.“Alright” I reply, freeing myself from his grasp before grabbing my bag from the se

In a brief amount of time, Clark and I are seated in a private jet on our way to Amalfi Coast located in Italy. “Would you like us to have seperate rooms?” Clark asks, his eyes fixed on his phone screen before turning his attention to me.“Would you?” I ask, inwardly trying my best to not blush. He smiles, shaking his head before speaking, “In all honesty I’d like us to share the same room, but most importantly, I want you to be comfortable”I smile, “I’m more comfortable sharing a room with you” I reply truthfully, “it takes me a while to get used to new places”. He smiles, “then I’m glad you have me”.“All done, I’ve reserved the penthouse at the Caruso for the next two weeks” he says, with a smile as he drops his phone on the table.“Clark?” I say a bit shyly as I look up at him, “yes Lara?” He asks his attention on me. “Do you mind if I come over?” I ask, wanting to enjoy every moment with him for the two weeks we are here, unsure of how things might be when we return to Yula.“Of

“So where are we going today?” I ask, putting my hair into a bun, before sitting on the bed. “I’m thinking of us visiting Positano,” Clark says, handing me his phone to show me pictures.“This looks nice?” I say, scrolling through the pictures, “it has exquisite beaches and it’s known for its mild Mediterranean climate and a proximity to luxury” he says.“Are we going to swim?” I ask, handing him his phone. He smiles, “not necessarily but we can if you want to” he says. I shake my head, “not sure yet, but let’s pack our swimming suits just in case we end up wanting to” I advise.“Let’s go get breakfast” Clark says, offering me his hand as he pulls me off the bed. “Where are you thinking of?” I ask, feeling silly that I keep shifting the responsibility of selecting places to him.“There’s a bakery around the corner, so I’m thinking we'll get something to eat before heading to Positano” he says, slipping an arm around my waist as we step into the elevator.“That sounds like a good idea

“Thank you for today” I say, settling into bed as I turn to face Clark who’s already laying in bed. He smiles, “no need to thank me, I had as much fun as you did today. Maybe even more” he chuckles.I smile, “I highly doubt that, but I’ll stop thanking you for now” I chuckle. “Goodnight Clark” I say, before switching off my bedside light.A few seconds pass by in silence, before Clark's voice fills the room. “Lara?”, “yeah?” I say, in a questioning manner as I switch the light back on.“I’m sorry about my silence when you spoke about wanting to travel with your children in the future,” he says. I smile, feeling confident as I reach out to touch his hair, “it’s fine, you’re not yet comfortable with the idea” I say, running my hands through his hair.“Are you fine with that?” He asks, moving closer to me. “Of course, I’m learning to accept the fact that you might not want a kid. And most importantly I don’t want to force a child on you”.“But you still want kids right?” He asks. I nod,

We arrived back from the trip which felt more like a little honeymoon feeling fresh and more in sync with each other. Clark has moved back into the room and we have fallen into a daily routine, which we very much adore.“Good morning babe,” Clark says, wrapping his arms around my waist, my back laid against his chest. “Good morning” I say, turning to give him a quick kiss before backing him.“You’re going out?” He asks, in a questioning manner as he watches me dress. “Yeah” I nod, “but we just got back” he whines, clinging to me.“No we didn’t” I say, “it’s been a week since we got back from our vacation” I state, placing a kiss on his cheek before walking past him to check myself out in the mirror.“So where are you going?” He asks, settling on the edge of the bed. “To Lai’s place” I say, carefully watching him from his reflection in the mirror, “and I’m not just going alone, you’re coming too” I say, grabbing a pair of flats before joining him on the bed.“I am?” He asks, “yeah” I r

“You’ll see yourself, I can’t seem to put into words” she sighs dramatically, walking faster than ever as I struggle to meet up with her. “Was Belle’s room so far” I ask, trying to remember the last time I had been upstairs.“We had to move her to the upper room, she was in need of air” she says, practically running now. “The last floor” I say, stopping abruptly as I struggle to catch my breath now.“How many more floors?” I ask in disbelief, struggling to accept what I already know. “Just one more floor” she states, not bothering to stop as she walks ahead of me.“Is that supposed to be good for her?” I ask, turning to face Clark before resuming my journey. He shrugs, “never had to take care of a pregnant woman”.“The real question here is why your brother has so many floors in his house?” He asks, his breathing slowing growing rapid. I shake my head, “it was a gift from my parents, they were in love with historical mansions so they got an architect to build a modern replica” I say,

“Can I talk to you Lara” Alice says, hanging back at the door. Weird! Alice has never been one to distance herself from me.“Of course, please come in” I say, glancing at the clock hanging right above the door. “Are you busy, it can wait” she says, noticing my gaze on the wall clock.I shake my head, “my meeting is in three hours time, we have sufficient time to talk” I say, leading her to the sofa. “So what’s the matter Alice? I’ve noticed that you’ve pretty down this week. Is there something you’re unhappy with at work?” I ask, concerned about her well being.“No, I’m very happy with my work” she replies, shaking her head. My eyes travel to her hands as she fidgets as she struggles to continue speaking, “you can trust me” I say softly, reaching out to grab her hand.She nods, “my issue is not work related, can I still open up to you?” She asks, her eyes searching mine. I nod, “of course, I’m here for you” I say, gently squeezing her hand as I wait for her to speak. “It’s Evan” she

“Here’s your room” I say to Alice, pointing towards a freshly cleaned guest room. “If you need anything just let the home managers know, they’ll be willing to assist you” I say.“Thank you so much for this act” she smiles, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Stop crying, everything will be fine” I say, gently squeezing her hands, “you’re safe now”.“I know, I’m just so grateful” she says, pulling out a handkerchief before carefully dabbing her eyes. “Alright, I’ve got to go discuss things with my husband but if you need me, I’m just a phone call away” I say, with a soft smile on my face before exiting the room and heading upstairs.“Clark?” I call out, switching on the bedroom lights, “Clark” I call out once more, gently knocking on the bathroom door before pushing it open. “I guess he’s not here” I mutter, making my way downstairs in search of Clark.I lightly knock on the door to his office, patient waiting for an audible response before letting myself in. “Come in” his voice, loud and

“How weird” I say, settling in bed beside Clark, “what’s weird?” He asks, pulling me against his chest as we cuddle.“Alice, you know how we discussed about how I would need to convince her to involve a professional lawyer because of her hesitation to involve Lai”“Yeah” he nods, placing a kiss on my cheek, “well, she didn’t complain. She immediately agreed once she heard it was your idea” I say, turning to face him.“Is that a problem?” He asks, giving me another kiss, before moving to study my face. I shake my head, “I guess not, it’s rather a good thing that she didn’t need much convincing” I say, placing my hands in his hair.“You love doing that a lot don’t you?” He asks, a grin on his face. “What?” I ask, my thoughts still on Alice and her willing countenance to go with Clark’s idea.“Playing with my hair” he states clearly, “yeah, your hair is so soft” I smile, running my hands through his hair. “I like it too” he comments, placing a kiss on my lips before pulling me closer to
