ELARA'S POV:

“W-What?” my voice came out louder than I intended.

Vivienne laughed softly. “I know. It sounds crazy. But he’s different, Elara. I’ve met a lot of men, but there’s something different about him.”

I inhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay calm. My friend had a crush on Rhett Alaric.

Of all people.

Rhett.

“You know him pretty well, then,” I said, forcing a smile.

“Yes. My father has met him several times for business. Sometimes I go with Dad to events, and Rhett is usually there.”

    ELARA’S POVLennox helped me arrange every document I needed for my application. In fact, he volunteered to take care of practically everything, from filling out forms and scheduling appointments to making photocopies and organizing the necessary paperwork. He accompanied me through long queues, endured hours of waiting, and even went hungry with me whenever an appointment took longer than expected.He never complained. He simply stayed beside me, offering whatever help he could.Lennox wanted me to heal from everything I had been through. He wanted me to find happiness again, even if that meant starting over in an unfamiliar country.And I needed that.After all the pain I had endured, I deserved a chance to move forward.During the months I spent preparing my documents and waiting for everything to be processed, Rhett never contacted me.Not once.No messages. No calls. No attempt to find me or ask how I was doing.It was as though I had never been part of his life for the past thre

    ELARA’S POV“What’s wrong, Elara? You’ve been staring into space for quite a while now.”Alyssa’s concerned voice pulled me back to reality. She was studying my face, clearly noticing that something was wrong.Our department had held a meeting earlier, but I hadn’t been able to concentrate on a single thing. My mind kept returning to what had happened the night before. Rhett had picked me up that morning, just as he always did before we went to work, but I could barely bring myself to talk to him.“H-Huh? Did you say something?” I asked distractedly.“I said we should leave the meeting room. The meeting ended ages ago.” Alyssa sighed, her concern becoming more obvious.“Oh! Really? Sorry, I’ve just been a little stressed lately.” I forced a smile, although I barely had the energy to move.“I understand. Maybe you should get some rest. You could apply for sick leave,” she suggested.“No, I’m fine. I’ll just catch up on sleep later.” I gave her another unconvincing smile.“Well, it’s up

    ELARA'S POV:I was almost at the restaurant where Rhett was waiting when someone suddenly rushed toward me and seized my arm with tremendous force.“O-Ouch! What are you…”Before I could finish speaking, a cloth was pressed tightly over my nose and mouth.“Mmmph!” panic surged through me.I struggled violently, twisting my body and trying to tear myself free, but whoever was holding me was much stronger. I fought as hard as I could, desperate to escape, yet my strength began to drain away with terrifying speed.My knees weakened.My vision blurred.The small gift box slipped from my fingers and fell to the ground.Rhett…His name was the last thing that crossed my mind before everything around me dissolved into darkness.When I finally opened my eyes, it felt as though someone had dropped an enormous stone onto my head.A dull, throbbing pain pulsed through my skull. The air around me was cold, and every breath seemed heavier than the last.For several moments, I couldn’t understand w

    ELARA’S POV:I hadn’t realized how quickly the months had passed until our third anniversary was suddenly upon us. Three years. Three wonderful years of loving Rhett, of sharing countless memories, and of building a relationship that had become one of the most precious parts of my life.To celebrate, Rhett had arranged something special for us at a five-star hotel. Just thinking about spending the evening with him was enough to make me smile. I had been looking forward to it all week.“Happy third anniversary to you and Sir Rhett!”I looked up from my desk to find Alyssa standing in the doorway of my office, wearing an enormous smile.“Thank you, Aly,” I replied cheerfully.“So, what’s the plan?” she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.“He said we’re celebrating at a hotel.”For some reason, my cheeks immediately grew warm. An unexpected thought had slipped into my mind, and judging by the mischievous expression spreading across Alyssa’s face, she had noticed.“Oh my gosh! What’

    ELARA’S POVIt had been an incredibly busy day. I had barely managed to sit down because of the amount of work waiting for me.Most of my morning had been spent developing meal recommendations for the company’s cafeteria. I was preparing a healthy eating guide specifically designed for construction workers, many of whom worked long hours, experienced exhaustion, and spent much of their day exposed to the intense heat at project sites.Their meals needed to provide enough nutrients and energy to support their demanding schedules while remaining affordable.It wasn’t as simple as recommending vegetables and calling it a day.I had to consider their nutritional requirements, the physical demands of their jobs, and the company’s budget.Afterward, I still needed to prepare regular health reports for Rhett. These included updates on employee wellness, any improvements in their health, revised budget requirements, and my proposed plans for the following month.I had been moving back and for

  • When Dreams Wear a Suit (ENGLISH VERSION)   CHAPTER 29:

    ELARA’S POV:I barely had time to catch my breath before Rhett suddenly lifted me into his arms.My legs settled around his waist, and I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck for support. His hands held me securely beneath my thighs as he carried me toward the wall.The cool surface pressed against my back, a startling contrast to the warmth of his body.He kissed my forehead first, then my lips, my cheeks, and the tip of my nose. His kisses wandered along my jaw before reaching my neck, making me instinctively raise my shoulders as a ticklish shiver passed through me. There was something playful about the way he touched me, yet every kiss carried a tenderness that made my heart race.By the time his lips reached my collarbone, I hardly knew where to put my hands.“R-Rhett…” I whispered, unable to suppress a soft moan.“Hmmm?” his response was low and husky, his warm breath brushing against my ear.Still carrying me, he walked toward the long couch in his office and carefully
