KEIRA’S POV

Because of everything that had happened and the overwhelming exhaustion both Drake and I felt, we decided to return to the villa. The air outside was heavy, a mix of warm sea breeze and the faint scent of the ocean, but it did little to ease the weight pressing down on my chest. Drake escorted me to the front of my room, his presence steady and grounding.

"I hope you can rest well tonight," I murmured, my voice almost breaking. "A lot of unpleasant things happened, but I… I still hope that everything will be okay soon." My words felt fragile even to me. He gave me a pained smile in return, one that reflected his own inner turmoil.

"You should rest too," he said briefly, his voice low and measured. He opened the door for me, giving me a quiet, lingering glance that seemed to convey all the things words couldn’t.

"Good night!" I forced a smile, taking a h

    DRAKE’S POV"I think this is the right time to discuss the month-end profit," Uncle James said, his voice calm but commanding, as he addressed the conference room filled with the heads of every department. I remained in the corner, quiet, listening, trying not to let my mind drift too far from the numbers and projections being displayed on the screen. Almost every department head was present—it had become a tradition for the Ashford Group to have a month-end meeting for updates, reports, and discussions about areas that required attention."Yeah, James is right," Dad added, his voice carrying the authority of someone who had built an empire from nothing. "Well, since everyone is here, I think it’s time to report on the figures." With that, the head of the accounting department stood and cleared his throat."Drake, you should pay attention to this," Dad said, turning to me and giving a s

    KEIRA’S POVTHE NEXT morning, even though my body feels heavy and my head throbs faintly from yesterday’s rain and exhaustion, I force myself out of bed. I can’t afford to miss work. Not when I know Sabina is just waiting for me to slip. I take a long breath, straighten my shoulders, and walk toward the office with my damp hair tied into a low ponytail.The moment I step inside, something feels off.Everyone is looking at me.Not subtly — not with curiosity — but openly, directly, with the kind of stares that make the air feel thick and heavy. I slow down, confused, glancing at each set of eyes. Whispering starts almost immediately, but it’s Drei’s glare that cuts the deepest. His expression is dark, almost furious, and I don’t even understand why.“What… what did I do?” I ask, confused.&n

    SABINA’S POV“What did you say?” I asked Drei, my voice sharp with disbelief. Even though we were only talking on the phone, I felt my heartbeat accelerate. The words felt like a shockwave running through me.“You really want me to repeat it?” he replied sarcastically, his tone dripping with amusement. “Drake is here. And he’s with Keira.”I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to calm the surge of frustration that threatened to boil over. “They still haven’t stopped!” I exclaimed, my voice rising. “You have to—trigger him!”“Trigger him? Are you serious, Sabina? You want me to provoke Drake?” Drei’s tone was incredulous.“Yes! Annoy him using Keira. You know his patience is short when it comes to her!”“Are you kidding me?

    KEIRA’S POVIT WAS already past eight in the evening, and Drake still wasn't back. With nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, I decided to take a bath and soak in the jacuzzi inside the bathroom. I put on a two-piece bikini and prepared some wine. I thought I could drown my sadness this way.I didn't even feel hungry because of the loneliness eating away at me. Being alone in such a beautiful place wasn't making me happy at all. I pulled back the curtain beside the jacuzzi, and to my surprise, I could also see the beauty of Erstonia through the transparent glass behind it.I admired the view for a moment before getting into the jacuzzi and pouring myself a glass of wine. I sipped it while looking outside, with the dark sky above and colorful lights below. As I gazed at the view, I couldn't help but wonder what the people beneath those lights were doing. I was

    KEIRA’S POVI WOKE up because of a gentle tap on my cheek."We're here," Drake said, and that's when I became aware of our surroundings. We were on a helipad atop a building."Is this The Peninsula Hotel?" I asked in disbelief, and he nodded as he helped me descend from the private plane. The journey to Erstonia took a little over an hour, but it felt surprisingly quick.Hotel attendants welcomed us, which surprised me."Good morning, Sir Drake," the attendants said respectfully."Please take our luggage to the hotel room," Drake instructed them. The attendants followed his orders, and after that, we entered the hotel premises while they trailed behind us."Do they know you?" I asked him incredulously."Aizer is the owner of The Peninsula Hotel across the country," he replied, which shocked me even more. I looke

    KEIRA’S POVI Woke up because of the light coming from the window of our house. When I opened my eyes, Trisha was standing in front of me, trying to hold back her laughter. I wondered why she was looking at me like that.When she noticed that I was awake, she signaled me to be quiet, which made me raise an eyebrow and follow her gaze. I quickly got up because of Trisha's reaction. But even I wanted to laugh because Drake and Ethan were facing each other and tightly hugging."Take a picture, quick!" Trisha whispered, giving me an order."You do it! Here," I said as I handed her my cellphone. I also stood up slowly, realizing that it looked awkward with the two of them hugging while I was standing there.After Trisha took a picture of the two, they both woke up at the same time. They were equally surprised and wide-eyed, still not letting go of each other fro
