My heart began beating rapidly again.

I tried to look away, but Andrew reached up and held my chin, gently forcing me to meet his eyes.

Unfortunately, when I finally spoke, my voice betrayed me. “W-What are you talking about?”

I hated how much I stammered.

“As a matter of fact, you’re avoiding eye contact.” Andrew’s expression remained calm.

I blinked.

“You’re flushing.”

My face grew even hotter.

“And your eyes keep wandering around like a thief caught red-handed.” He paused, studying me. “You

  • Don’t Beg for Love    103. Dreaming!

    The moment we stepped out of the airport, the warmth of India wrapped around me.Delhi felt different from the cities I was used to visiting.The air was warm and slightly humid, carrying a mixture of unfamiliar scents; spices from nearby food stalls, fuel from the busy roads, and the faint fragrance of flowers sold by vendors outside the terminal.The airport itself was crowded, with travelers moving in every direction, luggage carts rolling past, and drivers standing near the arrival area holding signs for their guests.Beside me, Linda looked just as confused as she had before we boarded the flight. She had been unusually quiet throughout the journey. And I could practically see the questions in her eyes.Why had we suddenly flown to India?Why had I told her to pack without giving her a proper explanation?And most importantly, what exactly were we doing here?I pretended not to notice. Then I spotted someone holding a banner with my name printed boldly across it.[Ms. Annalise St

  • Don’t Beg for Love    102. Gone

    Andrew’s POVEverything felt like a dream.I woke up with the strange feeling that whatever had happened between Annalise and me last night wasn't real.Perhaps it was just another dream.It wouldn't have been the first.Ever since the night I first kissed her at that parking lot, I'd been having dreams about her.Some were vivid. Some were nothing more than brief moments.But this one felt different.Entirely different.And also… strange.I turned my head toward the empty space beside me and my eyes narrowed.The bedsheet was ruffled.Too ruffled.Then I caught her scent. That familiar scent.The same scent that had driven me crazy more times than I cared to admit. The same scent that had forced me to exercise every bit of self-control I possessed just to keep my hands to myself.Realization settled in.So it wasn't a dream.I sat there for a moment, staring at the messy bedsheet.Then everything came rushing back; The way I'd held her. The way she'd tried to escape my embrace. The m

  • Don’t Beg for Love    101. Her Curiosity 

    Clearing the farm and bringing the livestock back lasted until the evening.By the time everything was finally under control, I felt as though I had spent the entire day doing hard labor.And the funny thing was that I hadn’t even done much.Most of the actual heavy work had been handled by the workers and the animal rescuers. Still, I had spent the day helping the housekeeper prepare lunch and dinner for everyone working on the farm. I had also gone back and forth several times, carrying snacks, water, and refreshments.Apparently, even that was enough to drain every bit of energy from me.By evening, my body felt heavy.Tonight wasn’t stormy.The sky had cleared, and there was no rain threatening to fall again. I was supposed to be on my way back to the city.But honestly, I couldn’t even lift a finger.The moment I entered the guestroom and my body touched the soft mattress, all the exhaustion I’d been holding back came crashing down on me.I didn’t even bother thinking about wheth

    “If I had such a hardworking, handsome, and perfect husband, I would ignore everything else and admire him all day.”The housekeeper's teasing voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I blinked.Then heat rushed to my face.“I wasn't—” I stopped.I wasn't staring.That was what I wanted to say. But somehow, the words refused to come out properly.“I mean… it wasn't like that. I wasn't staring at him.” My voice became increasingly awkward as I spoke.The housekeeper laughed even harder. “Ha! Children these days,” she shook her head. “So bold, yet so shy.”I lowered my head, pretending to focus on the tray in my hands.Then she looked at it and nodded approvingly. “And you're thoughtful too. Just like your husband.”I didn't have the energy to correct her again.Before I could say anything, a sudden coughing sound came from ahead.I looked up.Andrew was coughing.Not just once. He was coughing profusely.My body reacted before my mind could catch up.I immediately grabbed a bottle of water

  • Don’t Beg for Love    99. Getting Ridiculous 

    Annalise’s POVThe farm was a mess.I stood at the entrance, staring at the destruction in disbelief.The storm had left almost nothing untouched.The once-neat pathways were covered in mud, broken branches, scattered leaves, and pieces of whatever the wind had managed to tear apart during the night. Several wooden fences had been knocked down, while some of the posts were leaning dangerously to one side.The fields looked even worse.The crops had been flattened in several places, their leaves soaked and weighed down by the rain. Patches of soil had been washed onto the pathways, leaving behind deep puddles that reflected the pale morning sky.But the barns were the worst.Several of them had been left wide open.Their doors swung loosely from their hinges, creaking whenever the remaining breeze passed through them.And the animals were gone.All of them.Except for one.A lone cow lay curled in a corner of one of the barns.It barely moved.Its body was covered in mud, its breathing

Instead, it came out sounding almost afraid.A smirk appeared on his face. “Still the same.”I frowned.“What?”He looked amused.“You had the exact same reaction years ago.”My heart skipped.“After you kissed me in the middle of the night.”The moment he said it, the memory came rushing
