Kate's POV
After seeing this, Aksa took the car keys and took over as driver. I opened the front passenger seat door and got into the car, without even glancing at Darwis. Aksa felt very nervous, afraid that I would say surprising words again later. Thinking about it, he hesitated to say, “Madam, you….” "Road!" I said dryly. Aksa glanced in the rearview mirror, seeing that his boss didn't show any reaction, he drove the car out of the parking lot. Throughout the journey, no one spoke. Aksa felt like he was going to suffocate because of the cold atmosphere in the car. Unfortunately, neither he nor I showed any signs of wanting to talk, we continued to emit a cold aura. Darwis sat in the back seat, his gaze uncontrollably fixed on the person who was silent in the front passenger seat. His gaze was full of emotions that he didn't even know he had. Half an hour later The car stopped in front of the hospital. Darwis's wide and strong hand gripped my wrist as he walked towards the VIP room in the inpatient department. "Mr. Darwis." I felt pained, unable to stop myself from quipping coldly, “If you keep grabbing me like this before I am punished, you will be the first to be charged with assault.” Hearing that voice, Darwis just let go of his hand. He looked away, my wrist which was white had become red. I looked at him with a look of disapproval. Darwis felt uncomfortable being seen by me. A little regret appeared in his heart, but this regret just disappeared after he thought about the possibility that I was the mastermind behind Kayra's accident. "Follow me!" Darwis looked away, striding with his long legs towards the door of Kayra's inpatient room. Then, he raised his hand to open the door. As soon as the door opens. Kayra, who was half lying on the bed, smiled when she saw Darwis. She called Darvish softly, "Darwis." Darwis rushed over to Kayra to calm her down. I entered right then and there. Looking at the couple, I said mockingly, "Do you guys want me to go first, so you can finish your affair first?" "Mrs... Mrs. Kate... don't get me wrong, Darwis and I are not as related as you think." Seeing my arrival, Kayra became very nervous, trying hard to explain. I don't understand. She showed a flat expression and said meaningfully, "If you let go of his hand, this sentence might be more convincing." While talking, I walked towards the bed. Only after getting closer could I observe Kayra's face carefully. Gentle and kind, weak and fragile. This was Kayra's first impression of me, it's not surprising that Darwis couldn't forget her. "Darwis..." Kayra held Darwis' hand a little displeased. I saw this scene. In my heart, I felt a little mocking, clearly understanding what Kayra was thinking. Kayra just wanted to see me cause trouble in the inpatient room to irritate Darwis. Darwis thought that Kayra was afraid that I would embarrass her, so he patted Kayra's back repeatedly to comfort her. His voice was also much softer than usual, "It's okay, I'm here." "Darwis." I felt disgusted, "I'm still here." Cheating openly. Does Darwis think I'm easy to bully? Darwis didn't pay attention, continuing to calm Kayra's mood. "Aksa, how long do you want to peek?" I glanced out the door, his anger was at the edge. Aksa opened the door, not at all knowing how he got caught. "Mrs." "Take your cell phone and take a photo of your boss making out with another woman," I said dryly. "I wonder if the stock value of the Dawson Group will be affected when the news about the CEO of the Dawson Group having an affair in marriage spreads.” Aksa was surprised. "Madam, don't joke like that!" "Derwis..." Kayra let go of Darwis' hand with a pale face. "Kate, have you had enough?" Darvish's aura turned cold, he patted Kayra's back to comfort her. "I called you here to apologize to Kayra." I took out my cell phone and opened the video recorder, "I thought you called me to catch you cheating." As soon as I said so. The inpatient room fell silent. "What do you think if I send this to Mrs. Kanaya?" I pressed the 'save' button and put my cell phone in my bag. Darwis' gaze was full of anger. I saw Darwis' face, still handsome as usual. Even when it seems cold, it is still very interesting. "You threaten me?" "Just kidding. I just think you two look good together. Every moment you just recorded can be printed and displayed as a talisman to ward off evil spirits." I spoke casually, my eyes glanced at the two of them. "But, are you sure you want to negotiate with me like this?" Darwis did not move. That attitude made it clear that whatever I said, he would accompany Kayra. "Okay," I put my bag down. Everyone doesn't understand what I do. Only Aksa felt panicked. His gut feeling told him that I would cause trouble! Turns out, his hunch was right. I came to his side, then grabbed his arm. His tone was not much different from before, "Let's talk about what we want to talk about. After we're done, Aksa and I still have problems that need to be discussed." Aksa was very surprised. He immediately said, his usual calmness disappearing without a trace. "Boss, there's nothing wrong with Madam and I. We haven't done anything disloyal to you at all." "Why such a hurry?" My voice has the ability to calm people. "A grown man still loses to a little girl like Miss Kayra, look at how calm he is." Aksa was silent. Darwis fell silent. A flash of cruelty flashed in Kayra's eyes. Darwis felt that the hand that grabbed Aksa's arm really hurt his eyes. "Aksa," said Darwis in a warning tone. Aksa wanted to take his hand off me. But it failed. He looked at the calm me in surprise, full of strangeness in his head. How is it possible that I have so much power? "Boss..." Aksa almost cried. "I really didn't do anything with Madam." The aura around Darwis grew colder. The next moment Darwis took a pillow to support Kayra's back, his hand fell off at that moment. My eyebrows raised slightly, and I also took my hand off Aksa. Then, I sat on a chair. Aksa felt like he had escaped death. The silent actions between the two were seen by Kayra. The hand hidden under the blanket suddenly clenched into a fist. "I heard from Vian that Miss Kayra accused me of hiring someone to hit you, you even have proof." I changed his call to Darwis. His expression was unreadable, "Can I see the proof?"Kate’s POV Erlan nodded, a wide smile still on his face. "Yes, Kate. I have prepared everything. We will get married in a week, at the place we talked about before. I just need one more thing..." He looked at me deeply, his loving eyes making me feel like the luckiest person in the world. "What is it?" I asked softly, almost whispering, while my heart was full of hope and happiness. Erlan reached out his hand, held mine gently, and then asked, "Will you marry me, Kate?" Tears began to well up in my eyes, but this time they were tears of unstoppable happiness. I had never felt love this great before, and I knew that Erlan was the right person for me. "Of course I do, Erlan," I answered in a voice full of emotion. "I want to marry you, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Erlan smiled happily, and in an instant, he pulled me into his arms. I could feel his strong heartbeat, accompanying my own. We hugged each other tightly as if we didn't want to let go
Kate's POV I stepped out of the office, the cool night air touching my skin as I walked to the car. The thought of having dinner with my father tonight made my steps feel heavier. Over the past few months, our relationship has begun to improve after the previous tension. My father, who was initially so against my relationship with Erlan, had slowly begun to soften. However, for some reason, something felt different. My father, who used to be stiff and rarely showed his emotions, was now more attentive. He often invited me to dinner, talking about little things that had never been a topic of conversation before. Although I was happy with this change, there was still a little worry that was bothering me. Was this a sign that he had finally accepted my relationship with Erlan? Or maybe there was something else he was hiding? I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before finally deciding to leave. The restaurant my father had chosen was located near his house, so I decided to stop
Kate’s POV I sat on my bed, letting the reality of this message sink in completely. All the loneliness, all the patience, it was all about to pay off. It felt like a dream come true, a dream I had been waiting for so long. In a rush of enthusiasm, I typed a reply quickly, trying to channel all the feelings that were pressing to come out. [I'm so happy to hear that, Erlan! I can't wait to see you. I miss you too, and I'll be waiting with great enthusiasm. See you in a week, honey.] After sending the message, I smiled widely. The thought of the coming week began to fill my mind—the thought of the two of us walking together, having a romantic dinner, and all the warm conversations I had missed. Just imagining it made me feel happy. I stared at the ceiling of my room while hugging my pillow tightly, imagining the moment when I could finally hug Erlan again, feeling his warmth and calmness that I had only been able to feel from afar. This happy feeling was like sunlight shining on my
Kate’s POV He was tall and dignified, wearing a formal suit that fit him well. From the way he approached me, I could feel the intensity behind his smile. "Kate," he called out in a familiar tone, even though I didn't know him. "I wanted to congratulate you on the success of your project. I've long admired your hard work." I nodded and smiled politely. "Thank you. It means a lot to me." "Not only is your hard work admirable, but also the way you deal with challenges," he continued. "I see you at events like this all the time, and you always seem so strong and independent. Do you always come alone?" The question sounded innocent, but there was something about the way he said it that made me feel a little uneasy. "Yeah, I usually come alone. But I'm not really alone," I answered cautiously. The man smiled wider, his eyes shining with obvious interest. "You know, Kate, I've been watching you for the past two years. And I've never seen you with anyone. I couldn't help but ask..
Kate’s POV It’s been two years since that painful goodbye at the airport. Back then, I never imagined how my days would change. But here I am, standing at the grand opening party of a project I’ve worked so hard on. I can feel the admiring gazes of the guests, some of whom are warmly congratulating me, and others even offering to work with me on my next project. The long black dress I’m wearing tonight makes me feel elegant and dignified. I stand tall, looking around the room filled with entrepreneurs, investors, and colleagues who have all come to celebrate this success. But beneath the glitter and the praise, there’s a deep sense of relief. Not just because the project went perfectly, but because I’ve proven something to myself—that I can do it, that I can stand tall even when the world seems to be falling apart. I remember the long nights of hard work, the times when exhaustion almost overwhelmed me. But now, it all feels worth it. I’ve accomplished something greater than I e
Kate’s POV I nodded with a heavy heart, trying to hold back tears. “I believe in you, Erlan. I will wait and support you from here. Farewell, and may everything go well for you there.” As the time for the plane to depart grew closer, we stood there, hugging each other tightly. I felt a deep emptiness and sadness as I watched him prepare to leave. Every second felt like time was ticking away, and it felt like all the happiness that had ever existed was shrinking into deep sadness. “What about the two of us?” I asked, trying to distract myself from my sadness. “What are our plans after you leave?” Erlan smiled softly, though his eyes were filled with pain. “We will continue to communicate well. I will try to come home whenever I have the chance. We will continue to support and encourage each other. I am sure we will get through this.” We talked about our plans and tried to cheer each other up. We tried to keep our spirits up even though we were feeling so heavy. Erlan kept wiping a
