After choosing my dress, Azalea packed the other 9 dresses for me to take home. Peggy and Emily also bought a dress for them to wear at the party. Then we bought Nina a dress as well. She doesn't want a new dress because it was too expensive. She was asking if we can lend her an old gown instead, but we decided to buy one for her. When we went out of Azalea, Peggy and Emily's driver are already waiting so we said our goodbyes and they left. We will see each other later anyway. I asked Nina to come to our house instead so we can go to the party together. We chat for a while, and we didn't notice that it's time for us to prepare. I started getting nervous. Only 2 more hours and I will be officially become Luke's fiancé. My heart is pounding nonstop and my whole body is getting tense. I took a deep breath to release my tension. Nina held my hand and smiled. I smiled back. We heard a knock on the door and to my surprise, it was my mother and sister. Nina smiled,

ALORA POV Luke brought her to the top floor. It's the Royal Suite of the Candlewood Hotel. It occupies the whole 52nd floor of the hotel. Considered the largest suite in the country with approximately 19,346 square feet, boasting a 360-degree terrace, an 18-seat dining table, 6 bedrooms and bathrooms and an indoor pool. The suite also comes with extravagant extras like a five-headed shower, ultra-luxe Swedish DUX beds, on rotating platforms, of course, dressed in rare eiderdown comforters and Egyptian cotton linen, and Hermès amenities. He put her on the bed of the master's bedroom and sit on the side. She looked directly into his eyes but still no words from her. Her breathing was ragged. Her hand still on her chest. He held her hand and caressed her cheek with the other. "Baby, calm down. Would you like me to call a doctor?" He asked with a worried face. She shook her head and stared at him. She slightly parted her lips to say something, but no word

LUKE POV I wanted to tell Alora the truth. But every time I see her having a panic attack, I feel scared. I need to consult a doctor for her. Like Sophie said, this might be our second chance. I really hope that when the time comes, she will understand what I did. I was dragged by my father and soon to be father-in-law to meet some people from the business world. I was talking to Andrew Cross, a young tycoon that owns a shipping company. We were chatting about his company, but I will always glanced at Alora. She was with my mom, her mother and sister. I'm glad she was slowly coming out of her shell. But I didn't expect what happened at the suite earlier. I was just worried, and I know she wouldn't want anyone to see her like that. I decided to take her to our suite so she can rest for a while. What happened wasn't my plan, but she was really breathtaking. When she put her fingers into my mouth and my hand on her breast, I couldn't control myself anymore.

Chapter 17 – Home"What are you thinking Princess?" I didn't hear Luke coming into the bathroom. He's standing at my back and slid his arms into my waist then kissed my shoulders. I was still standing in front of the mirror so I can see his every movement. The mirror added heat to my already burning body. "Luke, please don't apologize for what we did. I know I provoked you, so I feel like I forced you to do it with me." Just remembering him saying sorry to my parents pained my heart. "Baby, you didn't force me. I wanted it. You can't imagine how I wanted it badly, you just took the initiative. Giving yourself to me was a gift and being your first is the greatest pleasure of my life. Thank you for making me so happy." My worries fade away when he said that and turned around so I can face him. I hooked my arms into his neck and smiled at him. I realized he's already naked and felt his erection. I smiled teasingly and bit my lower lip. "Would you like to do i

Luke frowned. I looked around and everyone was staring at me. "Alora what's wrong?" Emily touched me on the shoulder and asked. I didn't notice she's already beside me. I looked at Luke and stared into his eyes. I see pain and sadness. My heart aches seeing him like that. Then he suddenly smiled and opened his arms. I wanted to apologize so I hurriedly walked towards into his arms. "I'm sorry. I don't know what's got into me. I got scared. I'm sorry." I whispered. "Sshh. Don't apologize. I know because I'm scared too. This is new to both of us. It's normal to feel that way. We're still young but I know we can do this baby. I'll be here for you. I promise.”Luke’s words always calm me. I found peace every time I'm with him. There are a lot of things I can't understand about my feelings, but I need to trust him. "So do you want to come home with me?" He asked. "Definitely!" I smiled at him and then we went out holding each other's han
