Liliana's Point of View“She’s just my assistant.”I stood up straight, chin high, as I looked proudly at the people around us. I wasn’t going to let anyone mistake who I was beside him.“Shall we, Mr. Windermere?” I asked politely, keeping my voice calm and respectful. Asher and I walked into the company building, and I watched as he casually interacted with executives and high-ranking officials. I stayed beside him quietly, absorbing everything around me.But something—or rather, someone—caught my eye.There was a woman, standing nearby, wearing a radiant smile that was clearly not meant for me. She was holding a bouquet of flowers and looking at Asher like he was the sun she wanted to orbit. My eyes narrowed. Didn’t she already meet him yesterday?“Welcome back, Mr. Windermere,” she said sweetly, her voice dripping with intention.It was painfully obvious that she had gone out of her way to look her best for this moment. But what made me smirk quietly to myself was that Asher didn’
Liliana's Point of ViewAsher was currently getting dressed in his business suit, and I was going with him to his company today. He said he wanted to bring me along so he could show me around—which, honestly, made me happy.“Wife?”I looked up at him and saw him holding out his necktie, a small smile playing on his lips. I couldn’t help but smile too—he wanted me to be the one to tie it for him.I stepped forward, took the necktie, and gently looped it around his neck. I was glad I no longer felt awkward around him. It wasn’t like before, when it felt like there was a wall between us—maybe because he used to be my boss.We were getting closer to the day we’d finally announce our “relationship” to everyone. This was all still part of my plan to get back at Gerald.I noticed Asher staring at me, which made me raise an eyebrow.“What? Why are you looking at me like that?”“You’re beautiful.”I rolled my eyes playfully. “I already know that. You don’t need to say something so obvious.”He
Liliana’s Point of ViewI had already climaxed twice, and my body was starting to feel weak. But I knew it wasn’t fair to let him do all the work—this time, I wanted to take the lead.“Hubby, let me help you,” I whispered softly.He paused, clearly surprised by my offer. Slowly, I sat up, cupped his cheek gently, and kissed him—soft and lingering.“Let me make you happy too, hubby,” I added with a smile.“Are you sure about that, wife? I’m okay, really.”I nodded and gently pushed him to lean against the headboard. I had prepared for this moment, once meant for my honeymoon with Gerald… but fate had other plans. Now, I was ready to do everything I had studied—for Asher.I pulled his boxers down, and there it was—his length fully revealed. My eyes widened.Wait… did that really fit inside me?“Wife, your face is hilarious right now,” he chuckled.I looked up at him with embarrassment.“This is what went inside me that night? The one that made me burn up with fever the next day?”“Yup,
Liliana's Point of ViewI’m in Asher’s room now, still here in his mansion in Italy. I found myself placing a hand over my chest, overwhelmed by everything that happened earlier.I’ve fallen in love with him. Already. Isn’t it too soon? Maybe his flirty antics were just… too effective.I slowly sank to the floor and leaned against his bed, wrapping my arms around my knees.“This can’t be. A whole year still lies ahead of us…”“Wife?”I heard hurried footsteps—he must have run to find me. My eyes widened when I saw him—he was only wearing a bathrobe.“Why are you sitting on the cold floor?” he asked, concerned.I looked up at his face, then at the spot I was sitting on. Honestly, I was still adjusting to the climate here. Unlike the Philippines, where the sun scorches everything in sight, Italy had a chill even in daylight.So this was why the room didn’t have air conditioning—only a heater.“It’s really cold here, isn’t it?” I said softly.He nodded slowly. “Why didn’t you tell me you
Liliana’s Point of ViewI sighed in relief after Asher and Anne finally stopped bickering over me. Honestly, Anne started acting like a completely different person, and I had no idea why.“I’m sorry I introduced myself late,” she suddenly said. “I’m Anne. Please don’t get jealous of me. I’m just like a sister to Brother Asher since his parents adopted me. And don’t worry—I can already tell you’re kind and that you’re a good match for my brother. I hope we can become sisters too.”I stared at her, stunned. So that’s why she acted that way earlier? She was testing me?“It’s a good thing I didn’t pull your hair the moment you hugged me,” I muttered.“Pull my hair? Oh, I’m game for that kind of stuff too!” she teased.“Anne,” everyone called her name in unison.She pouted and turned to me, smiling sweetly.“I really hope we become close friends... maybe even soul sisters.”I nodded slowly at her words.“I don’t have a problem with that. Just don’t go fighting with Asher again.”I glanced
Liliana's Point of ViewI held on tightly to Asher's arm as we walked down the hallway, and I couldn’t help but notice the huge smile on his face. He looked so proud, as if he had just won something valuable. When we finally reached the room where everyone else was, a deep voice welcomed us.“And here they are,” his father announced with a grin.“Sorry we took a while. I had to change clothes first,” I said politely.I scanned the entire room, and my gaze fell on Anne, who was sitting comfortably in one of the chairs. Huh? Even though she’s the daughter of the head maid, she’s getting special treatment? That’s odd.She looked at me from head to toe without any expression, and I mirrored her gaze just the same before turning to my grandparents.“Grandpa, Grandma? I didn’t know you were coming.”They both smiled warmly and quickly came to me.“How are you, dear?” my grandfather asked.“I’m fine,” I replied with a gentle smile.Suddenly, Anne stood up and began walking toward me, making
