LOGINAuthor's POVThe drive to the office was proving to be far more uncomfortable than Mila had anticipated.She sat in the passenger seat of Arine’s sleek black sedan, her phone held tightly in her lap as she pretended to check important emails. She scrolled mindlessly, barely registering the words on the screen. The morning sun glinted off the dashboard, but the atmosphere inside the car felt far heavier than the bright day outside.Out of all the possible ways she could have started her morning, being trapped alone in a car with Arine after last night's events had definitely not been on the list.This is exactly what I wanted to avoid, she thought, biting the inside of her cheek.She had tried to refuse the ride after breakfast, insisting she could easily take a taxi. But Arine had calmly dismantled every excuse with logical, irrefutable points about time, safety, and efficiency. He pointed out how it made no sense for her to waste time and money when they were both heading to the exac
Author’s POVThe morning sun broke through the curtains, signaling the arrival of a new day, but it brought no rest to Mila’s exhausted mind. When her alarm finally rang, she dragged herself out of bed, having barely slept for a few consecutive hours. With a quiet groan, she walked into the bathroom, rubbing her eyes, and moved through her morning routine on autopilot—showering, brushing her teeth, and slipping into a simple cream blouse and black trousers suitable for the day ahead.Standing in front of the dressing table mirror, she picked up her brush and began running it through her damp hair, sectioning it carefully to tie into a neat ponytail. But the moment her eyes met her own reflection, the dam broke.Images from last night flashed vividly in her mind—the sudden pressure of Arine’s body against hers, the cold touch of the mirror on her back, and the searing heat of his lips. Her gaze instinctively dropped to her mouth, which still felt faintly tender and swollen. Her breath
Author’s POVMila’s mind went completely blank the moment Arine’s lips met hers. This wasn’t like the soft, sudden kiss in the office. This one was hungry, deep, and full of everything they hadn’t said to each other.She let out a small, shaky sound and grabbed the front of his shirt, unsure whether she wanted to push him away or pull him even closer. Arine tilted her head slightly and kissed her harder, his tongue brushing against hers, sending a rush of heat through her body. His thigh pressed between her legs as he pinned her gently but firmly against the mirror.For a few seconds, nothing else existed. Just him. Just this.But reality hit her too quickly.Mila tore her mouth away, breathing hard. Her lips felt swollen and warm. “Arine… stop,” she whispered, even though her hands were still tightly holding onto his shirt.“We can’t… This is wrong."Arine rested his forehead against hers, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His hand stayed on her waist, thumb gently stroking her sid
Author’s POVThe awkward silence between Arine and Mila continued. Both of them sat quietly, Neither Mila nor Arine dared to look at each other. The air felt heavy and uncomfortable.Just then, Arine’s phone started ringing. He quickly checked the screen and let out a small sigh of relief. Thank God, he thought. This call had come at the perfect time to save him from this awkward moment."I need to take this important call," he said, standing up. Mila nodded quickly, feeling her own wave of relief. "Go ahead," she murmured.He immediately headed for the balcony, closing the glass door behind him.Mila also breathed a big sigh of relief.She silently thanked whoever was calling him for saving her from that suffocating silence. Seizing the moment, she rushed to her room to freshen up and change into comfortable clothes.In the kitchen, Sally and Aunt Lana were whispering excitedly to each other.“Did you see their faces?” Sally said with a big smile. “Something definitely happened between
Author’s POV Mila finished her work as the sun dipped low in the sky she grabbed her bag quickly.The office was quiet now, most people had left. She stepped out of her cabin and walked toward the elevator. Arine had said they would leave together, so she headed straight to the parking lot where he told her his car would be waiting. She walked toward the parking lot following the familiar path. When she turned the last corner, she stopped for a second. Arine’s car was already parked in their usual spot and Arine stood beside it leaning against the door, typing something seriously on his phone.Mila walked up to him. Arine looked up when he heard her footsteps his eyes met hers, soft for a second then back to his usual steady gaze. "Hey," Mila said, trying to sound normal.Arine locked the screen and straightened up pocketed his phone and opened the passenger door for her. "Ready?" he asked. She nodded and slid into the seat. He got in beside her and the driver a quiet man in a dark s
Author’s POV Arine tore his gaze away from the camera and looked back at Mila.“You don’t need to worry anymore, Mila,” he said quietly, trying to steady her with his voice. Mila looked at him for a long moment, a strange feeling tugging at her chest. It felt like he was hiding something from her, but she chose not to ask. She knew that if it was truly important, he would tell her himself when the time was right. She turned away and walked toward the door. Just as she reached it, Arine spoke from behind her, his tone back to calm authority. “Finish all your work today. When we leave, we’ll go together. I want to meet Aunt Lana too.” Mila just nodded and left the office, heading straight to her cabin. As she walked away, Arine’s eyes followed her until she disappeared around the corner. The moment she was gone, he pulled out his phone and made a call,his voice dropped to a cold command.“Now.”Meanwhile, Mila reached her cabin, sat down at her desk, and quickly texted Sally: “Everything
Author’s POVMila’s whole body was shaking with anger and hurt. Arine stared deeply into Mila’s eyes. All he could see was pain—and that pain hurt him too, because he knew it was his fault his absence, his silence. It twisted like a knife in his chest. Closing his eyes, he drew a long, shuddering b
[Scene: K&N Architects, HR Department ]The silence in the office was so absolute it felt like a vacuum. The word "CEO" hung in the air, sharp and heavy as a guillotine.Mr. Cole’s face, which had been puffed with rage, drained of all color. Alex’s smug smile vanished, replaced by a mask of stunned,
The doctor looked at us, her expression soft but unyielding. “I understand your surprise, but these results are accurate. Sometimes, diagnoses change. Bodies change. And from what we’re seeing here, you’re in the very early stages.” Sally was the first to speak up, her voice a little shaky. "Can we…
I stood there, my mind spinning as he continued. "Mila, the reason I asked you to come here is because you deserve to know the truth about what happened to you—especially about that test, the one where they told you that you couldn’t conceive. It was all a lie, Mila. Those results were faked, part o
