Dorothy stared at her reflection in the mirror, holding a dress against her body. She picked up the tighter one too. Both looked great—she couldn’t decide which to choose.Stefan sat on the bed, watching her.“Love, if you have questions, you know you can ask me.”Dorothy pouted and turned to him.“Which dress do you like more—option A or option B?” she asked, holding each dress up in turn for him to see.“Both would look stunning on you, but I’ll choose option A,” he said.Dorothy smiled. “Option A it is!” she said, returning the other dress to her wardrobe while Stefan watched her go.If only she knew why he picked the first one.After getting dressed, they were ready to leave. The driver helped them into the car, and they sat in the back seat together. Stefan glanced at Dorothy, who was smiling brightly.“You must be really excited for this dinner date,” he said.Dorothy nodded enthusiastically.“I’ve always wanted to go on double dates and more, but I never had friends. I’m really
A soft knock echoed on Dorothy’s office door before Stefan entered. Dorothy looked up from the piles of files in front of her and gave him a warm smile. He was the CEO, yet he always knocked before entering her office."Hi," he greeted softly."Hey," she responded with the same energy.Stefan took a seat opposite her. "Are you coping with the work? I’m sure some things still feel strange," he asked, his brows lifting in concern."Sure, it does, but my assistant helped me with a few things, so I’m kinda doing fine now," Dorothy shrugged simply."I see," Stefan nodded.Another knock came, and Mandy entered. She saw Stefan and immediately offered a polite greeting."What’s up, Mandy?" Dorothy asked, giving her a curious look."Mrs. Everest, someone is outside waiting for you. She said her name is Beatrice and that you two know each other," Mandy reported.Stefan pursed his lips from where he sat. "Tell her to leave. Dorothy is busy."Mandy hesitated, unsure for a moment. But she would ne
Stefan’s car came to a halt in front of the familiar building. He reached over to open the door for Dorothy, showing her his hands, and she accepted.Dorothy beamed as she read the Dynamic Corporation sign at the top of the building. She had missed coming here so much. Stefan stared at her joyful face and smiled helplessly.They entered the company, and the employees lit up at the sight of her.“Welcome back, Mrs. Everest!”“Good day, Mrs. Everest. It’s great to see you here!”“We missed you, Mrs. Everest!”“Welcome!”Dorothy gave them a thoughtful smile before following Stefan to her office. It was filled with gifts—flowers, chocolates, and all kinds of presents with handwritten cards.“Who did this?” Dorothy asked, touched.“I don’t know what you fed my employees or how they knew you were coming back, but they did this,” Stefan said.“That’s so sweet,” Dorothy said, placing a hand over her chest, deeply moved.“Yeah, I built this company, and I go on business trips a lot. But when I
It was late evening when Stefan returned from work. Exhausted, he headed to his room with plans to take a cold shower and brood over how much he missed his wife. But like a trick of the mind—or maybe a miracle—there she was, sitting on his bed.“Love?” he called softly, not stepping closer, still trying to process what he was seeing. “Aren’t you supposed to be in school?” he asked, eyes narrowed.“I came back,” Dorothy mumbled.“Why?” he asked, now walking toward her slowly.“I want to be with you all the time, that’s why. I want us to start a family, Stefan. I want us to have children. I’m ready to be a fully committed wife—always by your side,” she said, her voice trembling with sincerity.That was it for Stefan.He reached the bed, scooped her up, and hugged her tightly, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. It had been so hard letting her leave for school, but he hadn’t wanted to stand in the way of her dreams.“I’ve missed you so much, darling,” he whispered, burying
Dorothy urged the driver taking her to Harrison's house to move faster, even though he was already driving at full speed.“Calm down, Dorothy. You still haven’t told me what’s going on. Why did you run out of class like that? You scared Kade and me,” Kristin said, and Kade nodded in agreement. But Dorothy had no time to explain.A few minutes later, they arrived at Harrison’s house. Dorothy jumped out of the car before it even came to a full stop. Kristin and Kade quickly followed her inside.While Dorothy ran straight upstairs, Kristin paused at the entrance, taking in the sight of the house. It was a mansion—huge and stunning. It was her first time seeing one up close in real life.“Who are you?” a male voice asked, unfamiliar and firm. Kristin turned to find herself facing two handsome men, both staring at her with unreadable expressions.She smiled and flipped her hair flirtatiously. “I think the real question should be—who are you?”Just then, Dorothy came running back downstairs
The weekend was over, and Dorothy was back at VitMed. She was in her hostel, getting ready for school, with Kristen as usual sitting on her bed and watching her."You know you're glowing lately," said Kristen out of the blue."Huh?" Dorothy stared at her through the mirror, giving her a questioning look."Ever since you started spending weekends with your husband, you’ve been glowing. He treats you so well, right?" Kristen asked.Dorothy couldn’t help but smile and nod.She paused for a second and turned to Kristen. "I want to ask you something.""Okay, I’m listening," Kristen said, straightening up on the bed, ready to hear it."If you were in my shoes, would you still go to school?" Dorothy asked with an unsure look. Kristen narrowed her eyes at the question. Dorothy noticed her expression and quickly defended herself, "Remember, you came to advise me, not judge me."Kristen twitched her lips and leaned back. "Marriage is never a hindrance, especially if you plan to go back to schoo
Stefan’s car pulled up in front of a fancy-looking restaurant. He stepped out and helped Dorothy out of the car.“At least put a smile on your face, would you?” Dorothy said, her lips curving up as she looked at Stefan’s reluctant expression.“I’m only here because you want me to be,” Stefan huffed.“No, you’re here because you already promised your mother you’d show up. You don’t want to keep a woman waiting at a restaurant,” Dorothy corrected him, taking his hand and leading him inside.The chauffeur opened the restaurant door for them, and Dorothy’s smile widened when she spotted Beatrice already waiting with a little boy sitting on her lap.“Hi,” she waved as they approached the table.“Hey,” Beatrice greeted. She would’ve stood up for a hug, but the seven-year-old on her lap kept her seated.Stefan simply cleared his throat and sat down. He’d much rather be at home with Dorothy, making her scream his name, than sitting in a restaurant making small talk.“Who’s the cutie?” Dorothy
It was the weekend. Dorothy was set to leave VitMed and head back home. She couldn’t wait to see Stefan again—he had promised to come pick her up.“I should use that opportunity to introduce myself to him. Please tell him I’ve been very good to you in school, so he could do something nice for me too,” Kristin, who was sitting beside Dorothy, exclaimed.“Stefan doesn’t do anything nice for anyone if they aren’t me,” Dorothy replied with a smirk and a proud look.“That’s because he hasn’t met me yet,” Kristin replied. When Dorothy gave her a serious look, she quickly corrected herself. “Not as someone who’s gonna steal your man—because obviously, I stand a chance—but he’s gonna love me as your best friend. Maybe someday he’ll take me out for a treat for being such a good friend to you,” Kristin added, feeling herself.Dorothy couldn’t help but smile and shook her head. Her phone rang—it was Stefan. She knew he was already outside.“I’m leaving now. Don’t miss me too much,” Dorothy tease
The Holmes Residence.Clarissa admired herself in the mirror, twirling slightly. She loved how expensive she looked. Ever since she married Sherlock, he’d showered her with nothing but luxury.A knock came at the door before Agnes stepped in, her face lighting up at the sight of Clarissa.“Gold and diamonds were made just for you,” Agnes praised, her eyes full of admiration.Clarissa’s smile widened. “I know,” she replied proudly.“So, where to?” Agnes asked, leaning against the doorframe.“Sherlock’s taking me to his company today. When I walk in, I want every single person to turn and stare. I wasn’t born to be ordinary,” Clarissa said with a confident smirk.“And that’s the spirit,” Agnes grinned.Clarissa glanced at the time on her Rolex. “Ugh, I’m almost late. That old man’s been waiting forever,” she huffed, grabbing her sunglasses and rushing out.Agnes simply watched her go, shaking her head.Downstairs, Sherlock looked up the moment he saw her coming. “You’re not planning to
