“Who’s—?” I started, turning sharply as the grip on me loosened.

I froze.

“Rowan?” I said, my face tightening in confusion.

“Shh.” He pressed a finger lightly against my lips. “And then what? You go in there and do what, exactly?”

My heart slammed against my chest.

He was too close—close enough that for a second, I forgot how to breathe.

“So… stay quiet,” he added calmly.

I forced myself to look away. “What are you even doing here? I thought you left. And what is this—sneaking up on me now?”

    "He's on his usual meds, his tea, and his regular meals," the doctor replied softly. "There's nothing unusual about his daily intake."I nodded, trying to keep my voice steady. "I see. But how could something he's been taking for years suddenly affect him like this?" I glanced at the doctor, forcing a polite smile. "We'll wait for your full report.""Don't talk to her like that," Vivian snapped, eyes flashing. "You're acting like it's her fault Dad ended up this way.""Wow," I said slowly, calmly, but loud enough for the whole room to hear. "You're really good at barking.""Terisa!" Vivian barked, her face twisting with anger."Vivian, shh," Mrs. Lisa cut in, placing a calming hand on her arm. "Terisa didn't mean it the way it sounded."I ignored the sting and turned back to the doctor. "I won't waste any more of your time. We look forward to the test results. Thank you for coming."The doctor gave a quick nod and left the room.I scanned the faces around me. The air was thick with t

    Mr. Peter and Mrs. Lisa.Standing together.Talking in hushed tones.That alone was strange.What drink?Who doesn’t know what?And who exactly is “she”?Questions flooded my mind, one after another.I didn’t wait.I pushed the door open.“What’s going on?” I demanded.Both of them turned sharply.“Terisa,” Mr. Peter said, quickly wiping his hands against his trousers, forcing a calm expression. “What are you doing here?”I stepped closer, my gaze moving between them.“You look nervous,” I said. “What conversation is going on here?”Mrs. Lisa crossed her arms, her lips curling slightly. “For someone on her first day, you seem to be everywhere. What is this—some new habit? Or are you stalking—”“Don’t,” I cut in sharply. “I wouldn’t waste my time stalking anyone. Least of all whoever you’re thinking about.”“She was with me.”Rowan’s voice came from behind me—low, firm, and controlled.I didn’t turn, but I felt the shift immediately.“Good afternoon, Mr. Rowan,” Mr. Peter said quickly.

    “A reasonable request,” Vivian said smoothly. “One that would benefit both our families—and the company’s image, Terisa.”I let out a soft laugh. “How thoughtful of you to start speaking on his behalf.”“Terisa!” Dad warned.Rowan didn’t look at anyone else.“I don’t see anything wrong with wanting to spend time with my fiancée,” he said calmly.His gaze dropped—slowly, deliberately—tracing down before returning to my face.“I’d spend every free moment with her if I could.”The way he said it—The way he looked at me—Sent a sharp chill through my body.My fingers tightened around my dress as my heart began to race, fast and uneven, like I’d been running.His eyes flickered briefly to my lips.And for a second, I forgot where we were.Dad cleared his throat loudly.The sound snapped everything back into place.I quickly looked away.“Well,” Dad began, regaining control of the situation, “perhaps Vivian misunderstood. We assumed you had already left earlier. We did try to invite you fo

I thought you left. And what is this—sneaking up on me now?”“It’s not a habit,” he replied evenly. “But tell me—what did you think you were about to do in there?”I frowned. “That’s none of your—”“Interrupt him? Prove his point?” Rowan cut in, his gaze steady. “Let him win again?”My head snapped back toward him.“Again?” I repeated, my voice sharper now. “What do you mean ‘again’?”His expression shifted—just slightly.“Nothing,” he said, looking away. “You’re acting on impulse. That’s all.”I narrowed my eyes.“How did you even know what was being said

    “Well, if we—” I started, then stopped.“What do you think we should do?” Dad asked, raising a brow.I exhaled slowly and stood up, pacing slightly as I thought it through, fingers tapping lightly against each other.“We need to be careful,” I said quietly. “It’s not easy trying to catch a hunter… especially one who’s used to the game.”“Hunter?” he repeated.I glanced at him.“I’ve told you not to jump to conclusions until we’re sure,” he said sternly. “And now you’re already calling her that?”“Dad,” I said quickly, “I’m not attacking anyone. I’m just thinking ahead.”I paused, meeting his eyes.“If I was actually going after her… you’d know. I wouldn’t hide it.”A sudden growl cut through the room.We both froze.Then slowly—We looked down.At my stomach.Dad burst out laughing.“There it is,” he said, shaking his head. “I was wondering when it would show up. You’re always hungry. Honestly, if your mouth wasn’t as sharp as your appetite, maybe we’d have an easier time dealing with

    “Who is what?” he asked, his voice low—closer than before.“Rowan… why aren’t you gone?” I asked, my heart pounding so hard I pressed a hand lightly against my chest, as if he could hear it.“Well,” he said, taking another step closer, “I’m still here.”“I thought you left,” I said softly.Our breaths brushed against each other.“You really want me gone?” he asked, his eyes roaming slowly over my face.I didn’t answer.I couldn’t.I was too focused on him—on the way he stood, the way he looked at me like he already knew my thoughts.“Miss Terisa.”The door pushed open.“Yes!” I said quickly, stepping back and putting distance between us. I brushed my skirt unnecessarily, trying to steady myself.The lady from earlier—the one with the sleek figure and composed presence—stared at me for a moment, clearly confused.Then she spoke.“Your dad asked for you. I came to get you.”“I’ll be there,” I said, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach my eyes.She nodded and stepped back.“Oh,” Rowa

    “Hello, dear.”“Do I look that good?”He leaned closer, his breath brushing my ear.“God.”“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered under my breath, my teeth clenched, fists tightening at my sides.“Hi,” Vivian said, trying to pull attention to herself.“Mr. Rowan, what exactly is going on here?”

    “That voice…” I whispered, my breath catching.I looked up—and froze.“W-what are you doing h-here?” I stuttered, my heart pounding.Rowan’s lips curved into a faint smirk. “I don’t repeat myself,” he said calmly. “But I’ll make an exception.”“Who is this?” my father demanded, his hands clasped ti

    “You know,” Adrian said calmly, his expression unreadable, “it would be better if you focused on recovering instead of asking questions you shouldn’t be asking right now.”I looked at him.“Mr. Rowan was just a passerby in all this,” I said evenly. “There’s no need to dig deeper.

    “Gosh… they really wouldn’t let me leave,” I muttered as I drove.If I hadn’t stopped at the mechanic’s, I wouldn’t be driving at all… I’d be on my way to the underworld.I checked the dashboard clock and exhaled.“I would’ve been late if I’d stayed any longer at the mechanic’s,” I said—this time, G
