Maria's entire body trembled, overwhelmed by the unfamiliar yet intoxicating sensations coursing through her. Her hands gripped the edge of the cabinet tightly, her toes curling involuntarily as Sidney's breath, hot and teasing, grazed her most sensitive spots. The stimulation was almost unbearable, pushing her to the edge.Outside, the wind picked up, causing the sheer curtains on the balcony to flutter in the breeze. The soft moonlight, once filtering gently through the window, was now obscured by drifting clouds, casting the room into a dim haze.A tear escaped the corner of Maria’s eye, her breathing rapid and uneven, her body quivering under Sidney's touch. After what felt like an eternity, her body finally surrendered, collapsing in his arms. Sidney stood and wrapped her in a protective embrace, his strong arms carrying her toward the bathroom."Did that feel good?" he whispered against her ear, his voice low and breathless, the heat of his words brushing against her skin.Mari

Since she had mentioned marriage, Sidney was determined to ask again. If she refused, he wouldn’t press further. Maria quietly observed him, then asked, "Sidney, are you really sure? I’m pretty unpredictable. One day, I might just get bored of you, and then we’ll have to get divorced."His eyes were full of sincerity as he responded, "I’ve thought it through. I want to marry you. I’ll do everything I can to make our marriage work and never let you feel tired of me. I want us to go the distance together."There was no denying the stir in her heart, especially when he was looking at her like that—like she was his entire world.Without thinking, Maria leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips. "You’re so sweet."Sidney’s hand found the back of her neck, deepening the kiss. When they finally pulled away, both of their breaths were a little uneven."Maria, marry me?""Okay," she replied without hesitation this time.The moment she said yes, she could practically see fireworks bursting i

Maria thought Lucas must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today. Since when was he so easygoing? Usually, it was a miracle if he didn’t work them to the ground, but today, he was offering her a break?This thought crossed her mind, and she voiced it aloud, "Boss, are you feeling alright today?"Lucas was speechless.Among his subordinates, only Maria dared speak to him like that, with no regard for formalities. But he couldn’t do anything about it—Maria was both highly capable and incredibly loyal.Lucas glanced at Aveline beside him, holding back his temper as he said, "Do you want the time off or not?""Of course I do!" Maria agreed without hesitation. Lucas was showing her some grace today, and she wasn't about to waste the opportunity."Just let me know once the date is set," Lucas replied calmly."Got it," Maria answered, then quickly ended the call....Lucas turned to Aveline and asked, "Is that enough sincerity for you?"Aveline shook her head. "Not quite."Lucas look

As evening fell, Maria slowly woke up. A soft, muted glow filled the room, and for a moment, she felt a bit disoriented. Just then, she noticed an added weight on her. Looking down, she saw Sidney’s arm draped over her.Turning her head, she found him still asleep, his breathing calm and steady, his body pressed close to hers.In the dim light, Maria quietly watched him for a while, a soft smile gradually forming on her lips. She thought, perhaps her decision had been the right one after all. Marriage wasn’t so bad.She didn’t move, just lay there watching him for a few more moments. Though she couldn’t fall back asleep, she didn’t want to wake him either.As dusk settled in and the room darkened, Sidney began to stir. He turned over, but his arm remained around her."Are you awake?" Maria asked."Yeah," Sidney responded softly, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "Hungry?"Maria replied, "A little. We’ve got dinner plans tonight. We can head straight there."Sidney nodded. "Alright."Maria

Maria gazed at Sidney’s face, suddenly laughing softly before leaning in to kiss the corner of his lips."Sidney, I didn’t realize you were like this."Her kiss deepened the intensity in his eyes as he asked, "Like what?""Very easy to please," Maria replied with a teasing smile.He wasn’t demanding—just because she was his wife, he didn’t let anyone’s provocations affect him.Sidney held her gaze for a long moment without saying anything.She had misunderstood.He wasn’t a man easily satisfied. In fact, it was quite the opposite—he wanted much more. But for now, in front of her, he kept those desires in check. What if he pushed too far and things backfired? He would never forgive himself.So, he would take his time. They were married now, and they had all the time in the world.As they stepped out of the car and headed towards the elevator, two people suddenly rushed forward, blocking their way.Maria’s smile vanished instantly when she saw Gorden and Tracy.They had somehow snuck
