I woke up to an empty bed, the sheets beside me cold and rumpled. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, and looked around the room. No sign of Sylus. I wondered where he could be.

I got out of bed and quickly got dressed, deciding to grab some breakfast downstairs. Maybe Sylus was waiting for me in the dining hall.

As I walked into the hotel's dining hall, I spotted Sylus sitting at a table by the window, talking to someone on his phone. He glanced up, saw me, and his expression turned cold. He looked away, focusing back on his conversation.

I felt a pang of confusion. What was wrong? I walked over to the buffet, grabbing some pastries and coffee, trying to look nonchalant.

As I made my way to the table, Sylus ended his call and looked up at me. His eyes were guarded, and he didn't smile like he usually did.

"Morning," I said, trying to sound cheerful as I sat down across from him.

Sylus nodded, his expression neutral. "Morning."

The tension was palpable, and I didn't like it. What

    The sun was shining bright as we stepped out of the hotel, the warm breeze carrying the sweet scent of orange blossoms through the streets of Madrid. Sylus smiled, his eyes sparkling with amusement, as he took my hand."Today, we're going to play tourist," he said, his voice low and husky. "What do you want to see first?"I grinned, trying to sound excited. "How about the Royal Palace?"Sylus nodded, leading me towards the palace. As we walked, he pointed out various landmarks and shared stories about the city's history. I listened intently, fascinated by the rich culture and heritage of Madrid.We strolled through the Plaza Mayor, admiring the stunning architecture and vibrant street performers. Sylus pulled me close, his arm around my waist, as we watched a group of musicians playing traditional Spanish music.The sound of the guitar and the passionate voices of the singers transported me to a different era. I felt like I was part of the performance, the music swelling up inside me.

    I wore a white formal dress and tied my hair up for my meeting with Mr. Hermano. Sylus smiled at me as soon as I stepped out of our hotel room. "I wouldn't think twice on hurting Mr. Hermano if he ever tries to hit on you because of how fucking hot you look in that dress of yours," he said, looking me up and down. "You always say that." "Because it's the truth, babe. You look good in everything you wear. You look better without wearing anything, though," he whispered, grinning at me. I rolled my eyes at him. "We have to go now. Mr. Hermano must be waiting for us already." Sylus chuckled before he finally opened the car door and guided me inside. *** "Remember not to be so nervous, babe.You're going to crush it with Mr. Hermano," Sylus said to me when we reached the company building. I smiled, trying to play it cool. "Thanks, I'm feeling pretty confident," I said, trying to sound casual. Sylus chuckled, wrapping his arms around me. "I know you are, babe. That's why

    I knelt down to give Natalia a big hug, smiling brightly. "Be good for Grandma and Grandpa, okay?" I said, trying to sound cheerful.Natalia grinned, hugging me back. "I want to stay with Grandma and Grandpa, Mommy. They said we can go to the zoo tomorrow!"I chuckled, feeling a mix of relief and a little sadness. "That's great, sweetie. Have fun with Grandma and Grandpa. And be a good girl, okay? Always obey them."Sylus smiled, ruffling Natalia's hair. "We'll be back before you know it, sweetheart. And we'll bring you lots of presents from Madrid.""Yey! Take care of yourselves, mommy and daddy. I promise I will be a good girl until you come back!""That's my baby," Sylus said as he leaned down and kissed Natalia's hair.Luke, standing beside his parents, caught my eye and gave me a subtle nod. He know what I am planning to do in Madrid, and for sure, he doesn't like it, but he will just let me do it, anyway. Just so I could finally leave and disappear."Sylus, Charlotte, take care

    Sylus's words sent a jolt of surprise through me, like a sudden spark of electricity. "Babe, we have to fly to Madrid next week," he said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. My eyes widened, and I felt my heart skip a beat. "O-Only the two of us?" I stammered, trying to process the news. Sylus nodded, a confident smile spreading across his face. "Yes. It's about the expansion of the company. I need you there with me. I am actually planning on assigning you to be the one to talk to Mr. Hermano. This would really be a big deal, babe. You have to make it a success." A wave of anxiety washed over me, but I tried to play it cool. "A-Are you sure about that?" I asked, trying to sound casual. Sylus's expression turned reassuring, and he took a step closer to me. "Of course. I know how smart and good you are. For sure he would say yes in no time. Don't you want to do it?" I felt a flutter in my chest as he looked at me with those piercing eyes. "O-Of course, I want to. I-I mean, y-y

    As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw Sylus already lying on the bed while reading a book. I was surprised when he suddenly looked at me. "Come here, babe." For some reason, I started feeling nervous as if Sylus was going to do something I wouldn't like. "Come here," he repeated, patting the space beside him. Why do I suddenly feel awkward now that I'm going to sleep beside him again? Shouldn't I feel comfortable already? I took a deep breath as I sat down on the bed, still thinking of a good reason to avoid sleeping beside him tonight. "Come on, babe. Don't be shy now," I almost screamed when I suddenly felt Sylus' hand on my arm. I was about to struggle, but then he suddenly pulled me to the bed, making me lay down beside him. "S-Sylus, what are you doing?" I whispered, my brows furrowed as I looked at him. He grinned, wrapping his arms around me, "Why don't you just lay down beside me? Don't tell me it is that day again?" "W-What day?" "The day you become
