“It’s so beautiful.” Kate gaped at the beauty of the lake. It was the place Ryan told to show her as a surprise.“I told you, you’ll like it,” Ryan said, placing his hands in his suit pants.“I loved it,” Kate uttered, moving her hand to the water.“It’s so cold.” She shivered.“Let me warm you.” Ryan’s voice was soft as he went to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.Kate smiled, feeling the gust of air on her face.“Anna,”“Hmm,” she spoke, leaning on him.“Let’s get married. I want you in my life as soon as possible. I’ll talk to my parents, and they’ll come here on the first flight tomorrow and ask your father for your hand. I can’t wait.” He tightened his grip around her waist and buried his face in her neck.“Let me talk to my father first. He may object to our marriage.”Hearing her, Ryan stiffened in his place. Kate sensed it, so she placed her hands on his and spoke.“But don’t worry, Jack will help us. He’ll talk to my dad.”“What if he won’t agree? What will you do? W
“I’ll come with my parents tomorrow,” Ryan spoke, holding Kate’s hand. He just dropped her outside Alexander’s mansion.“Are you sure? I mean, I just,” she paused, pursing her lips. She didn’t know what to say because tomorrow was too early and she didn’t even talk to her father.“Don’t worry. Jack and I’ll handle everything. Just go and have your sleep. I know you’re still exhausted.” Ryan kissed her knuckles, and Kate hugged him.“Thank you,” she exclaimed, inhaling his soothing cologne to calm herself because she knew her father would be waiting for her behind the gate of this mansion. He had called her several times, so she knew he would be worried, and she had to explain everything.“If you’d like, I can come and talk to Mr. Carlo. You don’t need to be worried.” He caressed her cheek, breaking the hug.“No, it’s alright. You don’t need.”“Alright, get your sleep. I don’t want you to look tired in the morning.” He kissed her forehead, pouring so much love into that kiss. Kate close
The following morning, Katelyn woke up around seven o’clock. Even though she took a nap, she felt weary. Maybe it was an emotional exhaustion rather than a physical one. Her brain was still on the fact that she told Carlo that he could decide for her, but she couldn’t live without Ryan. She was afraid of what if Carlo didn’t choose him? With these thoughts, she stepped out of the comforter, slipped her feet into slippers, and made her way to the bathroom to start her day with morning errands.After getting ready into a high-neck black top with white dress pants. She took her coat and went downstairs for breakfast.“Morning,” she greeted, settling on the chair beside Jack. “Morning, how are you feeling?” Jack asked, pouring fresh juice of mango into her glass.“I’m good,” she smiled faintly and started eating her breakfast. Carlo peered at her from time to time but said nothing. He desired to ascertain if Kate would utter a word. She blamed him or hated him for yesterday or not. After
Quenching the thirst of his inner demons, Ryan left her to take a puff of air inside her lungs, but their foreheads were still joining.“Do you know how scared I was?” He fondled her cheek with the pad of his thumb, inhaling her sweet lavender scent. He was trying to calm himself.“Why?” Kate mumbled, trying to bear with his proximity because it was doing wonders to her body.“You’re asking me why?” Ryan raised his face and looked into her eyes.“I messaged you in the morning, but you didn’t reply. Called you several times, but you didn’t answer. Told you to talk to me through, Ella. Still, you ignored me. Why? Yesterday, you were happy when I left you at your home. Then what happened on a night that you started spurning me? Was it because we had sex?” He uttered, looking into her hazel green orbs. Grimace wrinkled his forehead and his eyes were dull. Her ignorance had hurt him. It was perceptible from his facade.“Tell me, is it because we had sex and you didn’t want it?” Ryan asked a

Only the head worker was there for Kate. She asked about advancement and other things and gave further instructions.After that, she called it the end of the day and headed towards her car when Ryan's Bentley stopped beside her."Get in," he said, opening the passenger door.

I thought you'd be busy as you went in the afternoon, saying you've urgent work." "I come for you, but I think you don't like it," Ryan said with a fake frown as he turned the steering wheel towards the right, and his car sped up on the main road."Yeah, I don't like it because I loved it. Thanks for coming." Kate held his arm and put her head on his shoulder. Ryan kissed her hair, sensing
