ログインDave and all his doing! Ck...We all returned to the room, myself included. My mother had told me that she and my siblings would be staying until tomorrow before returning to Texas. Apparently, we would be flying back on Dave’s private jet again.I was holding hands with the man who was now officially my fiancé. Michael Robinson. Oh, there were so many things I wanted to discuss with this man, including the fact that he had shamelessly arranged this entire event without even asking me.Later. We would talk about it later. I tried to be patient as the man beside me smiled all the way to our room.We parted ways with some of the others, and apparently, my parents were staying on the floor below us. Dave was still holding my hand when we reached our floor, and the moment the elevator doors opened, our room was right in front of us.Dave opened the door for me with an unexpectedly sweet gesture. Like a knight opening the door for his queen. I stepped inside, and the moment the door closed
Lindsay's Pov“I don’t want to sleep alone!” I whined, half-heartedly. Whatever. I was still scared.I turned to look at him, but he only stood there silently, staring at me as if he were lost in thought. His expression was unreadable. What was wrong with him?“If you think I’m trying to seduce you... relax, because I’m not,” I said quickly. “That time has been over for a very long time.” I was afraid he would misunderstand me.I was only scared, and still a little traumatized by what had happened earlier. Besides, this place was huge. The thought of sleeping alone after what had happened was enough to make my skin crawl.Lately, Lucas had often seemed lost in thought while staring at my face. Was something wrong with him? Or was he remembering someone because I reminded him of her?Ieww... don’t tell me his ex-girlfriend looked like me!“Can I ask you something?” Lucas asked softly.“Huh? Ask me something? Yeah... sure,” I replied, confused.“Back then... in the hallway of your house
Lindsay 's PovWhen Lucas stepped out of the bathroom, the lights came back on.I let out a startled shriek when I saw his face clearly under the perfect lighting.“What happened?” I asked, my voice catching in my throat.There was a deep-looking scratch on his right cheek, stretching from the side of his eye all the way down to his jaw.I stepped forward, my eyes widening.“What happened? How did you end up like that?” I asked, still unable to believe what I was seeing.He didn’t answer.His dark green eyes stared at me as if he were lost in thought.“Lucas!” I called, half-shouting.I grabbed his hand and led him toward my bed, making him sit down.Then I turned around and hurried toward the door, peeking outside to make sure there was no one else lurking in the hallway.“There’s no one else in the apartment,” Lucas said, clearly understanding what I was doing. “I already checked.”I quickly closed the door and locked it.For a moment, I leaned against it and tried to calm my poundi
My family? What were they doing here? They looked so neat and formal, completely out of place with the questions racing through my mind.What the heck… was happening here?!I turned back toward Dave, and by the time I reached him, he was already extending a hand for me to take.“Dave… why is my family here? My mom and dad. What’s going on? What is this? What kind of event is this?” I asked one question after another.He didn’t answer. Instead, he led me toward an opening with a beautiful white carpet beneath our feet, while the ceiling above the gazebo was covered in fresh, living flowers.I grew even more confused when I glanced at Dave, only to find him wearing nothing but a knowing little smile.“Dave… what is this?” I whispered again.There weren’t many people in the room, perhaps around twenty of them in total.But I didn’t recognize some of their faces. Were they the models? Then why did all of them look middle-aged?Questions continued to swirl inside my head until I failed to
Dave never came back. Earlier, Lindsay had called me and told me about the ridiculous drama in her life. Apparently, the woman had been trying to play hide-and-seek with the man assigned to be her bodyguard. I still couldn't understand how she managed to turn something as simple as being hungry into an entire life-threatening adventure.I finally ate the burger I'd left untouched for hours. My entire body felt sore and exhausted, but somehow, the fatigue couldn't overpower my curiosity about where Dave was. It was already ten at night, and he still hadn't returned. What exactly was he doing?Eventually, sleep finally won. I only woke up when someone gently shook my shoulder. A soft voice whispered my name beside my ear. "What?" I mumbled hoarsely, still half asleep.Dave was already dressed in formal clothes. Was it finally time for the photoshoot? With my mind still foggy, I sat up and searched for the clock on the wall. It was only half past one in the morning. Was the event actuall
"Come on, Rose! You need to walk faster!" Dave ordered impatiently. He was carrying two duffel bags filled with both my clothes and his. I had only packed two outfits, so I had no idea what exactly he had put inside those bags. We were supposed to go home tomorrow, or the day after at the latest, so what was he carrying?I muttered under my breath about how impatient he was. Even so, I hurried after him, trying to keep up with his long strides. Dave glanced over his shoulder and smirked when he saw me struggling to follow him. "Are you tired already, sweetheart?" he asked, sounding far too amused."Why are we leaving so early? You still have work in the middle of the night," I complained. "I have a lot of things to do," he replied, loading everything into the trunk. Then he opened the passenger door and gestured for me to get inside. Before I could fasten my seat belt myself, he leaned over and did it for me.His face was suddenly far too close to mine. I stared at him suspiciously wh
