Andreas’ povI felt the throbbing in my heart pulsing with a carefree tone. Something inside me moved lightly and brought a pleasant mood to life.His hand, which was in my grasp, felt like it was stinging me with adrenaline like I've never felt before. I grasped that hand even tighter. I should have always grasped it since I realized I liked him.Not as a younger brother but as a man who fell in love with a woman."Andreas, are you okay?" Vanessa's hand reached out to touch my cheek. She rubbed it lightly, a look of concern on her face.I gazed at Vanessa's eyes, that made it hard to look away from her. I silently watched her. Vanessa kept running her hand over my cheek to check my condition."What happened? Are you okay?" Now, both her hands cupped my face while I still silently watched her worry.I never wanted to make her worry about me, at least not in a bad condition where I wasn't by her side and the worry was tormenting her. But if her worry was like this, then it was a differ
vanesa's PovAndreas is probably crazy!I averted my eyes from him. After suddenly conquering me and saying things I never thought he would say, I didn't know how to act in front of him.About Andreas' feelings, I knew that for a long time. I just ignored it because back then, I thought maybe it was Andreas' way of expressing his affection for the brother he never had before.Maybe he was too happy with the new family he had, and I didn't understand what the attitude between brothers was like because I didn't have brothers, so for a moment, I thought that his attitude was normal.Until I started to feel something vague, making me uncomfortable with Andreas' attitude."I'm going to the villa for business. Come with me." Andreas broke the silence with something surprising.I turned to him with a narrowed gaze. I didn't understand that guy. I mean, just now, moments ago, he expressed his feelings for me. I responded with silence and broke away from him. That was a clear sign I gave him.
vanessa's POVMy knees were hurting as they hit the floor quite hard. My eyes were still closed as falling on the floor seemed scary, but something felt off.My knee had landed and hit the floor hard, but why not my body?I slowly opened my eyes. My body had landed on something, but it was very different from the feeling of hitting the floor. "Andreas?" I was stunned when I realized Andreas' body turned out to be my matrix.What was he doing? How could he be underneath my body? Is it possible that he ran and dropped his body to the floor just to prevent me from falling?I closed my eyes in shame at the ridiculous thing I had done and the position we were in. For a moment, I cursed myself for my carelessness, then looked at him again.I checked Andreas, lying on the floor perfectly still, worried he might have hit his head hard from dropping his body earlier. "Are you okay?"I tried to get up from his body so he could get up too, but unfortunately, the long skirt I was wearing accident
Vanessa’s POV"There's no one here." Andreas' hoarse, heavy voice seemed to hypnotize me with its tone of voice that carried me along.I gulped. My sensitivity was at a limit that was becoming difficult to control. To be able to put my logic to the fore, felt rather difficult as I stared at the passion in Andreas' eyes. Moreover, I was beginning to want the same thing as him.Andreas' breath catches. He seems to open his mouth and breathe with difficulty as his sad eyes continue to stare at me. Andreas' hand holding the back of my neck is now gently rubbing my neck, sliding down to touch my collarbone and then slipping his fingers into the thin white blouse I'm wearing.I cringed and clenched my jaw tightly every time those fingers moved against my skin. My eyes gaze up at Andreas with a whimpering face when I find him smiling faintly at my reaction.And then Andreas brought himself closer to me again, his lips touching again, but now his goal wasn't my lips. He was eyeing my jaw, mov
"I've shown you clearly what I've been feeling for a long time." Andreas lightly flicked my forehead. He gazed warmly with his eyes that seemed to imply his feelings so clearly.I knew Andreas had looked at me with the same gaze before, but for some reason, it was only now that everything felt clear and relieving, although I couldn't deny that other things made me wary of this relationship."Yes, what's wrong with you? Why did you do it?" I looked at him curiously.What Andreas was talking about wasn't something he had been doing recently. I've been aware of Andreas' interest in me for the past few years, and it was one of the reasons why I finally decided to get married.Yes, I was in love with Jaxon at the time. I loved him, but marriage was a decision I made after thinking about many things, including Andreas."Haven't you liked me for a long time, too?" he looked at me intently.Startled, I suddenly placed both my hands on his chest to support my position. "What are you talking ab
The corner of my eye was editing with my eyes closed because I hadn't fully awakened. Something felt very disturbing, especially when I felt the presence of another person on my bed.I slowly opened my eyelids, which were still heavy and stared at the person who was there. "Andreas! What are you doing?" I pulled my blanket up, covering my body and slightly distancing my body from him.Andrae's hand quickly covered my mouth. "Don't be loud. Do you want Mom and Dad to come and see us both in the same bed?" He half-whispered and suppressed his voice, emphasizing his words through his handsome but annoying look.Why does it feel like I've just been threatened by him?I looked at Andreas sarcastically, then moved his hand away from my mouth. He's the one who broke into my room, so why am I being told to be careful when he's doing unreasonable things.I lifted the blanket I was wearing. "You shouldn't be here if you're worried about that." I turned my face away from him.Andreas tugged on m
"Yes, you can rearrange them there." I pointed to the shelves where the items were stored in the warehouse.The workers accompanying me since this morning scrambled to place what I had told them.The man in the blue shirt, belonging to the store deputy who served as the warehouse supervisor, showed me many places and what they had done in the past few hours.He turned to me. "It does lie better if the arrangement is changed." He looked satisfied.I nodded at him, then looked at the shelf. "It will be easier to see which stocks are empty if placed in this position." I turned away from the report paper I was making and then looked at the others. "Can we check the others?"The man approached quickly. "Sure, ma'am. Please come this way." he led the way by walking ahead of me.For more than three hours, we walked through the warehouse, directing them to reorganise with the stacking pattern I had made after studying the retrieval system.During those three hours, I helped with the lightest
Jaxon looked dumbfounded at what I said to him. Surprisingly, he shouldn't have been because compared to what he did to me, what I just said wasn't a big deal.I saw Jaxon's hands on the table clenched tightly, as well as the hardened look on his face. The man had an ego. He didn't like me contradicting him, let alone saying something harsh.He often felt angry and upset when I told him what he should do. Jaxon was often offended by my attitude, so I was always careful with him."Alright, I understand." He lowered his face, but I could see he was trying to control himself. Afterward, she raised her face, looking at me. "I understand you're still angry with me, Vanessa."I looked at him with a frown on my face. He clearly didn't understand anything about me and was talking nonsense.If I think about it, Jaxon never understood me. When we first got together, he was only gentle, but he decided everything himself. He never involved me in any decisions, everything was always about him, and
