Caroline’s POVI noticed the weather outside when I looked up from my laptop after working continuously. The meeting in the afternoon went smoothly making it a success. The sky was grey and it looked like it was about to rain a little.Something made me sign and lean back on my chair making a frown appear on my face. I wonder how much time it has been that I have taken a break from work and spent some time on myself or for myself.Ever since my parents died in that car accident, my heart has never been at peace or utterly happy. It always feels like something is missing, a void that never can be filled and it makes me distressed.Also, nowadays it feels like my mind has many things to think about. like how my aunt robbed money from my company whereas she could have just asked for it instead of doing that. How I am having mixed feelings about Samael Wright.My heart and mind contradict many things and in those situations, it becomes hard for me to choose. Sometimes it’s beneficial to l
Samael’s POVI walked towards the cafeteria and took two cups of coffee, like usual for me and Caroline. Keeping her coffee on the table in her office, I went into my office. I started replying to certain emails while drinking my morning coffee.After a while, I realized that Caroline has not called me yet in her office like she usually does to know her schedule. I checked her in the office, just to find out that hasn’t arrived yet. it was past ten in the morning and she is never this late to the office.I called her a few unanswered times and I got worried about her. Walking into my office, I decided to call someone and ask if they know anything about the situation.“Hello, Samael.” Ms. Lopez, our receptionist greeted me.“Hi, Lucy. I needed to ask you something.” I said nervously.“Yes, please go ahead,” she said as I sat on the chair while talking to her on the phone.“Do you know why Ms. Martinez has not come to the office yet?” I asked and a frown appeared on my face when she pau
Caroline’s POV“Should we go somewhere?” he asked me with a smile which made me confused. What did he want? Why did he come here?“What are you saying? Why you are here? What do want?” I asked, most likely demanding an answer out of frustration.I was already feeling light-headed because how I cried the whole night and dint sleep for even a minute. I was missing my parents and feeling lonely, all by myself. Tough I got a call from Mason asking how I was doing and that he would visit me in the evening or so.“I am here to make sure you are okay. Are you okay, Caroline?” He said making my heart flutter and my breath hitch.It was just a simple sentence but for some reason, it held more power than anything. It’s been a long time since someone genuinely asked me that question. Tears formed in my eyes and Samael took a sharp breath when he noticed my teary eyes.“Hm, I am fine,” I mumbled and took a deep breath to control my tears.“Who told you? or did you hear it while people were gossip
Caroline’s POVHalting made me wake up from my nap. Slowly opening my eyes, I turned to look at Samael who was already looking at me. What wired was that even though I caught him looking at me while I was sleeping, he did not turn away or tried to hide it.“W-what?” I asked as I sat straight and stretched a little.“Did you sleep well?” he asked me to which I nodded my head.“Yeah, I feel much better. Where are we though-” I stopped talking when I looked outside the window. I was dumb folded and surprised to see where we were and that was outside the cemetery.“What? why?” I babbled looking at him surprised that he drove me to the cemetery and I was just flabbergasted, not knowing what to say I just stared at him until he answered me.“You said, you dint visit them for a long time so I thought maybe you would want to go and talk to them. Only if you want to, no pressure.” He said with a small smile trying to ease me, which helped.“I – I don’t know. It’s been a long time since I visit
Samael’s POV“… and then you close the lid of the pot and let it cook for a few minutes,” I explained as I put the lid on the pot to let the chicken stew cook.“Wow” Caroline muttered while looking impressed.“Yeah, have I proved myself that I can cook?” I asked, still thinking about how we had a conversation in the car, on our way back to her home.“Should we take out something for dinner?” Caroline eyed outside the window looking at the restaurants. “We ate at McDonald’s before so I think we should cook something instead,” I suggested. “Oh, but I don’t want to,” Caroline said her thoughts out loud with a frown on her face. She looked not interested but then I thought maybe the reason was something else. “Why, you can’t cook?” I asked teasingly and she looked at me with narrowed eyes probably sensing the teasing through my voice and the smile. “Yes, I can. I have been cooking for myself past few years, I just don’t feel like cooking.” She said with a huff making me bit back my sm
Caroline’s POV“Hey, how are you doing?” Mason asked me as we all took seats.“I am fine, really fine. I visited mom and dad.” I said with a small smile thinking how content I felt after visiting mom and dad.“You did? Wow, that’s great. I was worried about you, I am thankful that you were not alone. Thank you, man.” Mason looked at Samael with a thankful gaze.“Don’t mention it.” Samael smiled at Mason as I looked at him.He somehow looks different without his glasses, in a good way. He took off the glasses while cooking and still was without them, giving me a clear view of his eyes without the barrier of the glasses. His eyes snapped at me making me advert my eyes, probably he felt my gaze on him.“Why do I smell something amazing? Caroline, did you cook?” Mason asked sniffing the air, taking both of our attention towards him. Which I was thankful for, it is already embarrassing when Samael catches me staring at him although it was not the first time, I think it’s not going to be th
Samael’s POVI sighed as I parked the car, I am so exhausted. It was a very tiring day of work, there were many meetings and we barely even got time to have lunch. Taking my glasses off, I rubbed my eyes with the palm of my hands to get rid of sleepiness.Taking the elevator, I got outside my house and something caught my eyes which made me frown. There were three pairs of shoes outside the door of my house and I got confused. I don’t know many people here except my office colleagues and they won’t come here to my home without informing me.Did Justin bring someone over? No, why would he bring someone to my house? With many questions in my mind, I took out the house key and unlocked the door. And what I saw inside was unexpectedly shocking and immediately made me freeze on my spot.Two people who I hated the most were sitting with their back facing me on the couch, while Ella was standing fearfully behind an angry Justin, who stood protectively in front of her.“Come on now, Ella. Is
Caroline’s POVI have trust issues, a lot. I trust only a few people around me, yet most of the time don’t let my guard down. And because of that, no one has been able to hurt me, but somehow a certain man, who happens to be my assistant has been able to change that.After what he did for me a few weeks ago, we started spending a lot of time together. I didn’t feel lonely anymore and felt like I had a friend, who cared for me. Maybe not a friend, but that’s what I wanted to believe for my sake.Samael has been acting differently toward me, mostly it feels like he is ignoring me. Trying to not talk with me if it’s not about work and not to mention how he is refusing to meet my gaze and be professional. I have no idea what went wrong or if I did something.Suddenly, after a few days, he started behaving distant and when I tried to talk about the changed behavior, he just changed the topic or ignored it like he wanted me to drop the topic. So, I dropped everything, my hurt feelings, our
