Zeke sat silently, his composure crumbling for the first time in years.

Negotiating billion-dollar deals had never made him nervous.

Facing ruthless business rivals had never unsettled him.

Yet now...

As he waited for Ella's answer, his palms grew damp, and his heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears.

His future seemed to rest on a single word from the woman before him.

He held his breath.

    At Fredamo Group.The top-floor office remained as imposing as ever.Zeke sat behind his desk.Several confidential documents lay untouched before him.Instead...His attention was completely occupied by his phone.He slowly scrolled through the photo gallery.Every picture...Was of Ella.Some had been secretly taken while she was cooking.Some captured her laughing with the servants.Others showed her sleeping peacefully on the sofa.His usually indifferent face softened with every swipe.A faint smile lingered on his lips.Alex stood nearby, pretending to organize documents.In reality...He was silently observing his boss."He's looked at those pictures at least twenty times today..."

    Ella sat comfortably in the garden, chatting with Seline over a video call. "So?" Seline leaned closer to the camera. "Tell me everything." Ella smiled shyly. "There isn't much to tell." "There isn't much?" Seline gasped dramatically. "You've been smiling for the last five minutes!" Ella covered her face. "...We're together." For a brief second... Silence. Then— "What?!" Seline's excited scream nearly burst through the phone speaker. "You and Mr. Fredamo are officially dating?" Ella nodded shyly. "Yes." "Oh my goodness!" Seline jumped up from her chair, laughing excitedly. "I knew it!" "I knew he liked you!" "My best friend is dating the most eligible bachelor in the country!" Ella laughed helplessly.

    As Zeke entered his own bedroom, he let out a long breath. Only then did he notice several neatly wrapped gift boxes resting on his desk. He frowned slightly. He was certain they hadn't been there that morning. Curious, he walked over and opened the largest box. Inside were four exquisitely handcrafted neckties. Beneath them sat a smaller wooden box. When he opened it, his fingers froze. It was a photo frame. One side held a treasured picture of his mother. The other... Contained a recent photograph of him. The two pictures had been carefully arranged together. His vision blurred. Just then, a small recording device beside the frame played automatically. Ella's gentle voice filled the quiet room. "Happy birthday, Zeke." "I hope you'll always be the wonderful person you are." His chest tightened. For the first time in fifteen years... The words "Happy Birthday" no longer sounded painful. Beneath the frame sat a small cake. Next to it was a handwritten card. Happy

    "That is my bottom line."Zeke's words echoed over and over in Ella's mind.She stared at the man who had protected her time and time again.The man who had always stood in front of her without hesitation.Their eyes met.In his gaze, she saw something she had never noticed so clearly before.Tenderness.Warmth.Protectiveness.And an affection so deep that it made her heart skip a beat.Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.Her thoughts became a mess.She stood rooted to the spot, her expression changing every few seconds as countless emotions flashed across her face.Zeke watched the dazed young woman in silence.Seeing the confusion written all over her face, he knew she was overthinking again.Before he could say anything, Ella suddenly turned and hurried upstairs.She rushed into her room, closed the door behind her, and leaned against it.Her breathing was uneven.She placed a hand over her racing heart, hoping it would calm down."Why is my heart beating so fast?" she whisper
