(Anastasia's POV)Today, I want to explore the whole hotel. Hoping to get the best out of my time here I quickly changed into a dress and ran to the elevator before Caleb could find me.After he kissed me yesterday, a blush crept up my cheeks. I was embarrassed and he noticed it, which is making me more mortified.I wasn't familiar with his new side but I was feeling very comfortable and happy with his change. His cellphone password makes a smile in crept again, our wedding date. But I knew that it would not last long. So before I could have any hope, I washed away all the thoughts of yesterday.I stood inside the elevator as its doors closed. But before that, I saw Caleb coming out in casual wear, wearing a black-collar t-shirt and beige pants.He looked my way but thankfully the doors fully closed and I went down.I didn't want him to see me blushing just by looking at him. So pathetic.After I got down, I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked ahead and saw Caleb staring at me. Yeah, I

(Anastasia's POV)I woke up the next morning to a feeling of warmth. Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw a handsome man sleeping next to me. My hand was lying on his chest and his arm wrapped around my waist. Our faces were only inches apart, a slight move and our lips would meet.I stared at his perfectly carved face for a while until realization hit me. Suddenly, I jerked away and sat up straight. Due to my sudden movement, Caleb stirred and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes wandered around the room and then they fell upon me. His eyes widened in shock and he quickly got off the bed and put on his clothes.He ran his fingers through his hair and groaned in frustration."No." He whispered."What?" I ask in confusion."No." He shook his head looking down."Caleb--"I tried getting up but he stopped me."DON'T!... j-just... j-just get ready and pack your things. We shouldn't be late on our flight."He left the room in a hurry without looking at me, leaving me confused and heartbroken.My hea

(Anastasia's POV)Tita Susan and Tito Rey were supposed to be here in the morning but due to some meeting, they had to postpone the lunchtime visit.No one wanted to talk about the other day, nor about what happened in Germany. It was all the talking we've been doing for the past few days. Just some monotonous responses and answers. I could tell how different the situation was, he didn't want to acknowledge anything.This early morning, he sounded a bit irritated as he continued to do whatever was on his phone. I didn't understand what had happened to him."Caleb, let's just order-""Hello, yes Kent. Yeah, I have seen them..." he was on the phone before walking out of the hall, completely ignoring me. I knew he had heard me but choose to ignore my words.'Now, what do you expect Anastasia? You are nothing to him, just a contract, Remember that' I whispered to myself as a stray tear fell from my eyes before I quickly whipped it away.I walked upstairs to change. Suddenly, the doorbell r

(Anastasia's POV)"So, what brings you here in Paris?" Did Caleb know you're here?" I ask in curiosity while devouring the food he treats for me."Well... Yeah... Caleb knows I'm here. Mom sent me here instead of her." his laugh slowly fade away, looking down at his lemon juice. "My work here is done, I fed my sister-in-law. I will see you later!" He said as he passed me a salute. "Byron?" I called before he could move further "Would you be free tomorrow? I guess Caleb would be busy for a few more days now, so would you like to accompany me around?" I asked, hopefully."Of course Ana!" he immediately responded."Great! I will see you tomorrow then. Thanks for the meal by the way." I waved at him.If Caleb wanted to convert this whole trip into a business trip then he shouldn't have brought me along. My traveling in any place won't even affect him. Indeed, he would surely be grateful. If he wanted to be so cold towards me so let it be, I won't let him ruin this trip.***As soon as I e

(Caleb's POV)I poured a drink into my glass, ignoring the woman's presence who was not cease her finger lingering in my body. This day makes it even worst while having her presence near me."One tequila please," she asks the bartender. I just let her, I don't have the energy to argue with her. "What's wrong?" She's using her flirty tone."Leave me alone, Sophia." I firmly said."I can be your shoulders to cry on, Caleb," I smirk at her statement. Is she serious right now?"I already warned you way back in Germany, to not bother me anymore." this time I give her an augury tone so that she can get that I am goddamn serious."Do you think I would give up that easily?" fury surged through her."You already give up on me, Sophia. The day when you cheated on me... with Byron." my edge of irritation had returned causing me to remember that nightmare from the past. I shook my head and swallowed the last drop of the cocktail in my glass."I told you many times that it was just an accident. Tha
