End the Secret Affair Chapter 16
I was lying in bed when Rowan approached and gently lifted my top.I immediately grew tense, but he simply smiled and asked, "What did you think I was going to do?"He then gently ran his finger over my scar and began sketching intently on a sheet of paper. "You're my newest masterpiece, and you'll become the most cherished one I've ever made."I couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation wash over me as his finger lightly stroked my abdomen. I could no longer hold back the emotions stirring within me, so I clamped my hand over his, tugged his collar hard, and pulled him close, asking, "What exactly is the nature of our relationship right now, Rowan?"Rowan gazed into my eyes and said earnestly, "If you're willing, then we can start dating right now. And in a year, we can get married and become husband and wife."I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss. Rowan clearly surged with excitement at my sudden move. He gripped my head and deepened the kiss,

It was only after Rowan and I acknowledged the truth between us that my life became much more eventful. Rowan began visiting much more often, his manner with me becoming significantly more straightforward.Rowan's courtship was nothing like Emilio's superficial spending and sweet nothings. He would, instead, stay up for nights on end revising my design concepts and condensing his professional knowledge into exclusive books written only for me. He even installed surveillance cameras and stationed a team of bodyguards outside my place to protect me from Emilio, that lunatic. Yet, all the security measures in the world couldn't guard against Emilio's twisted resolve. I was heading out for a banquet that day when a car suddenly came to a screeching halt in front of me. It was then that several men in black rushed out, covered my mouth and nose, and roughly threw me into the backseat.I finally regained consciousness, only to find myself in a house that was all too familiar."Why did

Having sent that reply, I never heard from Emilio again.I then posted a status update on my social media account, stating, "Emilio and I have already broken up, so there's no need to inform me about anything concerning him."It struck me as bitterly amusing that we never formally acknowledged being together, but our first public statement was to confirm our separation.It wasn't long before people started flooding the post with likes, and among them was an unfamiliar name. It belonged to Rowan, who, according to the profile, had only registered his account three minutes earlier.In a flash, all attention was diverted to Rowan, considering his reputation for being notoriously private, having never had a social media account until that moment."Oh my goodness! It's actually the great Mr. Sterling's social media account! Is it possible that he and Ms. LeBlanc…""Is it just me, or do they look absolutely perfect together?"…Just as I was scrolling through the comments, my phone b

In the blink of an eye, Emilio and Amber's wedding was upon them—it was happening the following day.I wouldn't have known otherwise, but Amber personally came to my door and threw the wedding invitation in my face.She then turned and collided directly with Rowan. She met his gaze and asked with a sneer, "What is it with you, Calista? Do you have a thing for going after Christopher's friends?"She then turned her provoking gaze toward Rowan, continuing, "You'd better be careful and not let this woman fool you, Mr. Sterling. You see, my fiance is her ex, and trust me, their split was messy. I mean, she couldn't even hold onto him after lying about being pregnant with his baby."I was completely unfazed by her taunts, even when she bit down on the word "pregnant". It was the truth, after all, and I didn't see pregnancy as something humiliating.Rowan's expression immediately hardened. He then scoffed and asked, "What's your point? Is it a point of pride that you snatched up someone

I accepted Rowan's invitation. I couldn't help but feel like I was dreaming when I saw the gorgeous evening gown he sent—things were escalating much faster than I could have imagined.I did not, however, realize that a much bigger surprise was awaiting me. I ended up encountering Amber and Emilio at the cocktail party.I noticed that Emilio seemed completely taken aback to see me, and also realized that he was clearly much thinner than he had been a few days ago, and the black eye patch over his still-healing eye gave him a surprisingly unique charm.It must be acknowledged that Emilio was always the center of attention in any crowd, though that immediately ended the moment Rowan stepped into the scene.That evening, Rowan was clad in a regal purple suit, complete with brilliant gold cufflinks, projecting an image of pure elegance and opulence.It just so happened that purple was my favorite color, too.I found myself staring at Rowan for a long moment, and when I finally looked

In the end, the design circuit was completely consumed by news of the competition. Its prestige was unparalleled, but the biggest shock was the public debut of Diske, who turned out to be extraordinarily handsome. His work had consistently clinched all the major awards, so everyone had assumed that he was a seasoned, elderly man. I hadn't expected him to be this young, though, and my immediate thought was that he was less of a designer and more of a corporate magnate. His suit was tailored and immaculate, his lips were pressed together firmly, and his indifferent gaze made him seem somewhat fierce. I couldn't help but feel slightly nervous. I felt the tension mounting as each contestant before me presented and stepped down the stage, and by the time I was called to the stage, my palms were faintly slick with sweat. I slid the ring across the table to the judges under the glare of the spotlight.Upon seeing the ring, everyone immediately fell silent—all because of the ring's ex
