As Jane walked out, she was greeted by Leonard's warm smile and piercing eyes. He looked dashing in his tailored suit, his hair perfectly styled. “Hey, beautiful,” he said, offering his arm. Jane's heart skipped a beat, looking at the dashing man in front of her, feeling a rush of excitement. “I didn't expect you to pick me up,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper as she walked into his embrace. Leonard chuckled. “I wanted to surprise you. Besides, I missed you.” Jane's cheeks flushed as he led her to his car. As they drove away, Evelyn watched from the window, a smile on her face. “Please keep her happy, Leonard,” she whispered to herself. The drive was filled with easy conversation, Leonard asking about her day and Jane sharing stories about her family dinner. When they arrived at their home, Leonard hugged her waist as they walked in. “Welcome sir, welcome ma’am.” The butler greeted them as they nodded towards him, walking into the elevator. Thirty minut

The phone rang, piercing the serene atmosphere. Leonard sighed, reluctantly releasing Jane from his embrace. “I'll get it,” he said, walking to the nightstand, and picking up his phone. Jane watched as he answered, his expression changing from relaxed to formal. She walked back to the bed, and lay down, covering herself with the blanket, as she stared at her man's gracious figure in his pajamas. “Mother,” he said, his tone respectful, watching as Jane lay down on the bed. Jane's curiosity piqued. Seeing her curiosity, he walked to the bed, climbed in, and drew her into his embrace, making her rest her head on his chest. “Hello, dear,” Leonard's mother's voice chimed through the phone. “I hope I'm not interrupting anything.” “No, Mother. What's up?” Leonard replied, caressing Jane’s silky brown hair. “I was thinking, Jane should meet with the wedding planner tomorrow. We need to finalize the wedding details,” she said. Jane's heart skipped a beat. The wedding. “Of cour

Ivy’s presence sparked unease in Jane's chest. She hadn't expected to encounter her here. “Jane, you are finally here.” Lisa hugged Jane affectionately. “I miss you.” Jane hugged her back. “I miss you too dear.” They giggled as they released each other. Ivy's face burned with their intimacy. She had known Lisa since they were kids. She knew Lisa didn’t like associating with too many people. As the heiress of the Banks family, Lisa was a spoiled brat. She had made sure Lisa didn’t associate with the girls in their social circles. Her relationship with Jane puzzled her. She promised herself to destroy this relationship. “Aunt, you are here.” She greeted Catherine. “Don’t be angry I came uninvited, I was bored at home, and when Lisa told me she wanted to go shopping with you, I decided to come with her, to kill boredom.” She hugged Catherine's arm, acting coquettish. “No Ivy, why would I be angry? You are also like a daughter to me. I watch you grow. I would love having you shop w

The room fell silent. All eyes turned to Ivy. Catherine's face darkened. “Ivy, is this true?” Though Catherine knew Ivy didn’t like Jane due to her connection with Leonard, the man she loved, she didn’t expect her to stoop this low, just to make them hate Jane. Ivy's face reddened, her eyes flashing with defiance. “Of course not, Aunty! This is ridiculous. The salesperson must be mistaken,” Ivy spat, her voice dripping with venom. The salesperson was shocked at Ivy's shamelessness. “But you told me… “Shut up.” Ivy glared at her, making the small girl shaken. “And even if it were true, which it's not, you'd still defend Jane, wouldn't you? You're blind to her manipulations,” Ivy snarled at Catherine, her gaze shifting to Jane. “You think you've won, but this isn't over. You'll pay for stealing Leonard from me.” “Ivy!” Lisa angrily shouted her name. “Just shut up already. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? My brother has made it clear several times that he doesn’t and would nev

“That’s all for today's schedule sir.” Rachel looked up from the tab in her hand and handed some documents to Leonard. Leonard took the documents from Rachel, scanning them briefly before nodding. “Thank you, Rachel. You've been invaluable today.” Rachel smiled, gathering her belongings. “It's my pleasure, sir. Shall I schedule the meeting with the Lockwood representatives for tomorrow?” Leonard nodded. “Yes, please do. And make sure to include Desmond in the meeting. I want his input on the merger.” Rachel's eyes flickered with curiosity, but she remained professional. “Consider it done, sir.” As Rachel exited the office, Leonard's gaze drifted to the photo on his desk. Jane, with her bright smile and sparkling eyes, was his rock. He couldn't wait to see her after work. Just then, his phone buzzed. Eric's name flashed on the screen. “Hey, Len! I've got some intel on Ivy and Gavin, your cousin. Eric said, his voice low and serious. Leonard rests his back on his executi

Leonard's arms enveloped Jane, holding her close as he inhaled the sweet scent of her skin, now freshly cleansed from her bath. The stress of the day melted away, replaced by a sense of calm and comfort. “Are you okay?” Leonard's voice was laced with concern. Jane was surprised by the urgency in his voice. After understanding he might have been filled in on what happened today, she felt touched by his care and concern for her. Jane's surprise turned to warmth as she wrapped her arms around him. She chuckled as she said, “I’m in front of you breathing fine, of course, I’m okay. Leonard's beating heart calmed down seeing she could still joke after everything. “At least she is fine.” He reassured himself. Leonard's grip tightened, his face buried in her hair. Her fragrance, a subtle blend of vanilla and sweetness, soothed his frazzled nerves. As Leonard held her close, Jane felt his tension ease, his chest rising and falling with deeper breaths. His relief was palpable, and she

Leonard immediately stopped, his eyes locking onto hers, filled with concern. “What's wrong?” Jane's cheeks flushed. “I...I'm not ready for this.” Leonard nodded, his expression understanding. “It's okay, Jane. We don't have to rush. Whether we do it now or later, that doesn’t change you are mine.” He chuckled, making Jane who was feeling guilty relax a bit. He gently pulled the towel back over her body, covering her. Jane's hands remained wrapped around his neck, securing his gaze from roaming about her body as her fingers traced the curve of his jaw. “I'm sorry,” she whispered. Leonard's smile was soft. “No apologies needed, Jane. We'll take it slow.” He leaned in, his lips brushing against her forehead in a gentle kiss. “We'll take the step whenever you are ready,” he whispered. Jane's tension eased, replaced by gratitude. She felt safe with Leonard and trusted him. “Thank you,” she whispered. Leonard's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. “For what?” “For unde

“Dad, it’s not what you think.” Catherine left her husband's embrace, staring at her father-in-law warily. “Ivy framed Jane for stealing a diamond necklace at the mall yesterday,” Catherine explained. Sir Edward's gaze flickered, but he still appeared unconvinced. “And you believe Ivy who I single-handedly raised since childhood would do such a thing?” His tone dripped with disapproval, not believing Ivy was such a person. Reginald, who was observing their word exchange, stepped forward. “Father, we can discuss this later. Let’s not jump to conclusions based on someone's statement.” Taking hold of his father’s hand, Reginald helps him to the sofa in the lounge. “Come on Dad, let’s sit and talk about this.” Sir Edward snorted, pushing Reginald's hand from his grip. “I can walk by myself.” He angrily said as he used his walking stick as support, before walking away. Catherine sighed before following Sir Edward to the lounge room, together with her husband. “Won’t you explain yo

Her gaze shifted to the bedside clock to see that it was half past five in the evening.Her eyes widened in shock after realizing she had slept throughout the day.
