Gloss POV

After what happened between Dream and Adrian in the office, I thought that was the end of it. Dream didn’t talk about it afterward, but the tension in his shoulders said enough. The man looked composed as always, but there was something sharper behind his calm, a quiet frustration he didn’t bother hiding when Adrian’s name came up.

For a few days, things were peaceful. The office air felt breathable again, and Dream wasn’t snapping at people over small mistakes. He even let me play

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 198: THE KISS.

    Gloss POV Laughter fills the room. It rolls outward in warm waves, light and bright, dissolving the last of the tension that had been coiled in my chest. I am still holding his hands, our rings catching the sunlight as if they are small anchors binding us to this exact second. For a moment, the world feels quiet for the first time. Not silent, not empty, just calm. The laughter softens, fades into soft murmurs and affectionate sniffles. The wind drifts through the garden, brushing against my suit, carrying the scent of flowers and sun warmed grass. I blink slowly, and the edges of everything sharpen. Dream is still in front of me. His fingers are still intertwined with mine. His eyes are still focused entirely on me, like I am the only horizon he recognizes. And beneath all of it, something else stirs. A familiar hum. Faint. Almost gone. I inhale. There it is again, softer than memory, like a whisper caught between breaths. The system. It does not appear in glowing pan

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 197: THE RINGS.

    Dream's POV “And I’ll never let you go.” The words settle into my chest like something permanent. For a moment I cannot breathe. His forehead rests against mine, his hand still cupping my face, his voice trembling with the kind of honesty that strips everything else away. The garden is silent, not awkward, not tense, just reverent. Even the wind seems to pause. I open my eyes slowly. He looks wrecked, tears bright on his lashes, lips curved in the smallest, bravest smile. I lift my hand to his wrist, holding it there against my cheek. “You won’t have to,” I whisper, though the microphone catches it and carries it softly outward. A faint murmur moves through the guests, a collective exhale. The officiant clears their throat gently, grounding us back into the ceremony without breaking the spell. “It is time,” they say. Time. The word feels different today. Not a countdown, not a deadline. A beginning. I nod once. My best man steps forward quietly, placing the small velv

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 196: GLOSS'S VOW.

    Gloss POV “And I’ll spend my life saving you back.” His words settle into me like sunlight through glass. For a second, I forget there are people around us. I forget the flowers, the aisle, the soft murmur of wind weaving through the open garden. I forget the chairs filled with friends, the distant sniffles, the way someone in the third row coughs quietly and tries to disguise it as a laugh. All I see is him. His hand still holds mine. His eyes are steady now, but there is a vulnerability in them I recognize, because I have seen it in quiet rooms, in long nights, in moments where the world felt too sharp and he let himself soften only with me. He finished speaking. Now it is my turn. My pulse thunders in my ears. I swallow, my throat suddenly dry despite the champagne I barely touched earlier. The officiant smiles gently, nodding toward me. I do not look at them. I look at him. This is not about the audience. This is not about the ceremony. It is about the space betwe

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 195: DREAM'S VOW.

    Dream's POV The sun rises softly through the curtains. I wake before him. For a moment I forget what day it is. The light feels gentle, ordinary, the room quiet except for the steady rhythm of his breathing beside me. Then it settles. Today. I turn my head slightly to look at him. Gloss is still asleep, one hand resting loosely near my shoulder, hair falling across his forehead in a way he will pretend not to care about later. The early light touches his face first, warms the curve of his cheek, the line of his jaw. He looks peaceful. Unburdened. I stay still, not wanting to disturb the stillness. My chest feels full, not anxious like yesterday, not restless, just heavy with meaning. This is the day I stand in front of everyone and say what I have been living quietly for months. I slide carefully out of bed, moving slowly so I do not wake him. He stirs faintly but does not open his eyes. In the living room, the apartment is hushed. The city outside has not

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 194: THE DAY BEFORE FOREVER.

    Gloss POV “Then marry me already.” He said it like a challenge, like I was the one delaying the inevitable. I remember laughing, the tension in his shoulders dissolving the moment the words left his mouth. He had been pacing, revising vows, worrying about promises that were already written into our bones. I had kissed his palm in response, slow and deliberate, just to watch his composure slip. Tomorrow we would stand in front of everyone and formalize what had been true for a long time. Tonight was quieter. The apartment felt different in the way spaces do before a departure. Not empty, not anxious, just suspended. Our suit bags hung neatly near the wardrobe. My phone rested face down on the nightstand, finally silent after an avalanche of messages from friends, family, foundation staff. We had both agreed to turn everything off early. No last minute calls. No logistical adjustments. No business. Just us. I changed into something soft and familiar, the kind of shirt I had

  • LEVEL UP MY COLD CEO {MxM}   CHAPTER 193: PRE-WEDDING NERVES.

    Dream's POV I did not expect my hands to shake. I have negotiated billion dollar acquisitions without a tremor. I have faced hostile boards, aggressive investors, hostile press, all with composure intact. Yet here I am, in my own bedroom, holding a sheet of paper with vows written in my handwriting, and my pulse refuses to behave. The apartment is quiet, late afternoon light stretching across the floor. The ceremony is tomorrow. Guests have arrived in the city. Messages fill my phone with excitement, congratulations, logistics. I ignore all of it. I pace. From the window to the dresser. From the dresser to the door. From the door back to the window. I read the vows again. They feel insufficient. Too formal. Too restrained. I rewrite a line. Delete another. Add something softer. Remove something that sounds rehearsed. I exhale slowly. This is absurd. I am not afraid of public speaking. I am not afraid of commitment. I am not even afraid of permanence. So why does
