When I woke up, Damian wasn’t there.

The silence of the room felt heavy, almost too quiet. For a few seconds, I just lay still, staring at the empty space beside me. Then the panic hit. My chest tightened hard. My breath came too fast and uneven. A sudden, irrational fear rose inside me — the fear that he had left, that the care he had shown me earlier had only been temporary. I sat up quickly, my heart racing, when I suddenly heard footsteps rushing toward the bedroom.

  • The CEO Couldn't Walk So I Made Him Fall For Me   You look wonderful tonight

    When I heard his confession about what happened five years ago, the tears came before I could stop them. They spilled down my cheeks in a steady stream. I couldn’t believe we had lost five whole years because of one terrible misunderstanding. All that time apart, all the nights I had spent wondering, all the days I had tried to forget him — and it had been a mistake. Maybe we needed those years to grow. Maybe we both had to become different people before we could find our way back to each other. Still, the sadness of everything we had lost sat heavy and sharp in my chest.I didn’t think. I just moved.I pulled him into my arms and held him as tightly as I could. My fingers gripped the back of his shirt. God, how much I had missed his scent. How much I had missed him. He smelled the same as he always had — warm, clean, a little like cedar and something that was only Damian. I buried my face against the side of his neck and breathed him in like someone who had been holding her breath fo

    When I woke up, Damian wasn’t there.The silence of the room felt heavy, almost too quiet. For a few seconds, I just lay still, staring at the empty space beside me. Then the panic hit. My chest tightened hard. My breath came too fast and uneven. A sudden, irrational fear rose inside me — the fear that he had left, that the care he had shown me earlier had only been temporary. I sat up quickly, my heart racing, when I suddenly heard footsteps rushing toward the bedroom.Damian appeared in the doorway, slightly out of breath, as if he had run the moment he sensed something was wrong.“Are you alright, baby?” he asked softly. His voice was gentle, but his eyes searched my face with real concern. He looked at me carefully, as if he was afraid of what he might find in my expression.“Yeah… yeah…” I answered quickly, trying to calm myself. My voice sounded weak even to my own ears. I forced a small breath. “How long was I asleep?”“Just two hours,” he said, still watching me closely.I sto

  • The CEO Couldn't Walk So I Made Him Fall For Me   His to protect

    Damian's povWhen I opened the door and saw her standing there, everything inside me went still for a second.She was out of breath. Her eyes were red and full of tears. Her hair was messy, falling in tangled strands around her face. She had knocked so urgently that the sound still seemed to echo in the hallway. One look was enough. Something had happened to her—something bad. And the first thought that cut through me was sharp and painful: I had failed to protect her again.Before I could even speak, she threw herself into my arms.The moment her body pressed against mine, a powerful wave of feeling crashed through my chest. After five long years of missing her, of craving even the smallest piece of her presence, holding her felt like coming home. I knew it was selfish. I knew she was vulnerable and broken in this moment, and that I was taking comfort from her pain. But I could not stop myself from melting into her. My arms locked around her tightly. One hand cradled the back of her

  • The CEO Couldn't Walk So I Made Him Fall For Me   Her safe place

    Liam asked me to show him around town, and I agreed. I had grown up in this city, so I knew its streets, its shortcuts, and its quiet corners better than most people. It felt like a small way to repay the years he had stood beside me when almost no one else had.We spent the afternoon moving through places that still carried pieces of my past. The old market square smelled of roasted coffee, warm bread, and the faint sweetness of fruit stalls. People walked by with shopping bags and low conversations. Narrow side streets were lined with small shops whose windows displayed handmade jewelry, second-hand books, and faded postcards. Further on, the river path was quieter. The water moved slowly under a gray sky, and the trees along the bank had already started to turn. I pointed out the school I used to attend, the park bench where I used to sit alone on difficult days, and the small café that still served the same strong tea. Liam walked beside me, listening more than he spoke. He asked

  • The CEO Couldn't Walk So I Made Him Fall For Me   A Reminder, Not a Threat

    ArabellaI was sitting on the edge of the hotel bed with my phone pressed to my ear, talking to Liam. His calm and steady voice was the only thing keeping me grounded after a long day. We were going over a few last details about the Harrison contract when a sudden knock sounded at my door.I frowned and glanced at the time. I was not waiting for anyone.“Hold on a second,” I told Liam, standing up slowly.When I opened the door, my whole body tensed at once.Damian stood in the hallway, smiling from ear to ear, holding a fresh bouquet of flowers in his hands. The sight of him hit me harder than I expected. What did he want now? Every single conversation with this man left me mentally drained and emotionally tangled.“I’ll call you later, Li,” I said quickly into the phone before ending the call.The moment the short name left my mouth, Damian’s eyes darkened. His jaw clenched so hard I could see the muscles tick.“Who the hell is Li?” he asked suddenly. His voice was loud and full of

  • The CEO Couldn't Walk So I Made Him Fall For Me   What really happened 5 years ago

    Damian's povFive years agoIt had been a full week since my grandfather died. I still did not know how to feel or what to think. Everything inside me felt empty, like someone had reached into my chest and taken out the most important part. The funeral preparations had drained every bit of energy I had left. Meetings with lawyers, distant relatives offering empty words, the constant pressure to stay strong—it all left me exhausted in a way that sleep could never fix.Right now, the only thing I wanted was to go to my safe place.To Arabella.I wanted to breathe in her soft vanilla scent and rest in her arms for hours without speaking. I had not contacted her for an entire week, and the distance was starting to hurt. God only knew how much I needed her. That woman was the air I breathed. I needed to hear her voice, even if it was just for a few minutes. Tonight, I decided I would go to her house.I was getting ready to leave when someone knocked hard on my door.Who the hell could that
