General POV“I have a surprise for you, Spitfire.”It’s been six days since Danielle’s baby shower and as soon as Ethan gets back from work, he heads straight to Elizabeth’s room.Elizabeth rolls her eyes upon hearing Ethan’s words.“What’s the surprise? I hope you’re not playing tricks on me.” She glares at him as he pulls her out of the bedroom.Ethan snickers. When they step in the hallway, Elizabeth sees Alexa and Moana standing outside the room beside hers, beaming with smiles. Elizabeth’s brows furrow thoughtfully, ‘since they’re smiling, it means it’s a good surprise.’She relaxes her muscles a bit.Alexa opens the door immediately Elizabeth and Ethan reach the door. At this time, Ethan releases his grip on Elizabeth and observes her as she hesitantly but curiously takes her steps inside the room.Upon entering, Elizabeth’s mouth flings wide open at the sight she meets.The empty room has been completely transformed into a beautiful tailoring workshop.She couldn’t help but ga

Ethan’s POVIt’s now been two weeks since Elizabeth signed the engagement contract. Now I badly regret not making it a marriage contract instead.It’s the weekend today and I could have gone to work but I decided to spend the day with Spitfire.“I’ve already been shown around the house. Alexa did that like—the first day I stepped into this house.” Spitfire’s emerald green eyes are glowing as she protests.“There’s no harm in being shown around again—by me.” I smirk.I’m standing in her doorway. Since that night I kissed her in her sleep and she woke up… she hasn’t let me into her room.A smile tugs at the corner of my mouth as I reminisce about that beautiful moment. Sincerely, I had not wanted to do that. But her mouth—her rosy pink pouty lips, they were enchanting—they’re enchanting.They call for me every time my eyes wander to them, like they want me to capture them in mine all the time… forever.“Exactly. YOU are the problem. I don’t want to do any sightseeing with YOU.” She gla

General POVShe stirs the smoothie well, adds some ice and goes back to what she's doing.A few minutes later, Alexa comes back into the kitchen, panting.She hands the bag of medicine to Moana, who smiles gratefully. Moana nudges in the direction of the glass of smoothie with her head, "Hurry, take it up to Lizzy, she must be expecting you.""Ah, thank you Moana." Bouncing, Alexa quickly carries the tray and heads upstairs.She knocks lightly on the workshop door before entering."Here, ma'am." Grinning, she sets the tray down next to Elizabeth."Thank you, Alexa, what would I do without you?" Elizabeth smiles and takes the glass of smoothie.It's a sunny afternoon and she's been working since the morning.She swallows the contents in one gulp, belching contentedly. Crunching on the ice, she gives Alexa a thumbs up before returning to her sewing. A few seconds later, however, she begins to feel sleepy.Yawning, Elizabeth sighs. "I think I'll go to my room and take a nap. That smoot

Elizabeth’s POV“Fortunately, I arrived home early and found you, immediately taking you to the hospital. The doctor suggested that your fainting spell was likely due to overwhelming stress. "What's been weighing on you, Spitfire?" Ethan pauses. "Would you like to get away for a while? Maybe a vacation with me? With your best friend?"Though I struggle to accept Ethan's words, deep down, I know they're not far from the truth. The evidence is written on my body—aches, and a small scar on my arm, a reminder of the needle from the hospital…It takes me a while to find my voice."How is it possible that I was completely unaware of all this? I was unconscious the entire time..."Ethan simply nods, a silent acknowledgment.It's astonishing how swiftly life can spiral out of control...Stress... Derek. Truth be told, I haven't fully recovered from what he put me through.It's undoubtedly him."No, I don't need a vacation. Not at the moment."I have to move past Derek. He's not worth my time,

Elizabeth’s POVOh, it feels like paradise.Grinning widely, I close my eyes, convinced that anyone who touches this bed will fall asleep instantly.No doubt about it! Or so I think.As I start to drift off, I feel something slide around my waist. My brows furrow in confusion. It feels like a hand. A large, possessive hand.Slowly, I open my eyes.***Ethan’s POVAs I slip my hand around Spitfire's waist from behind, she swiftly turns to face me.Even in the dimly lit room, I can see her brows furrow with confusion."What's going on?" she asks, her voice tinged with uncertainty."Exactly what's going on, baby," I reply, keeping my hand draped around her waist as I stroke her back.She gazes at me, her eyes widened in disbelief."I'm in bed with my fiancée—""I'm. Not. Your fiancée!"Oh, but you are, my dear."It's fake. We need to act like it's—" Before she can finish her sentence, I capture her lips with mine, silencing her words."Hmmm," Spitfire moans softly, and I can't help but g
