CHAPTER 51

Everything about Marie, including her laugh words and eyes, seemed to erode the barriers he had painstakingly erected around himself. He had attempted to persuade himself that it was nothing more than a brief digression in judgment.However, he knew in his heart that it had gone beyond that. He was growing attracted to her. It came to him more suddenly than he had anticipated. He was reluctant to acknowledge the possibility that his meticulously crafted world might be collapsing due to something so dire. Human. Still, it was present. He could no longer ignore it.His gaze strayed to the mirror image of his own face. Who was he becoming? A man caught between his obligations and his desires between the woman who had become a complication he didn't know how to handle and the company that had defined his life. A conflict that he had not expected. One that he had no idea how to fix. A nagging doubt that had been pursuing him for days was causing him to become extremely frustrated. As his

CHAPTER 52

After some hesitation, Aaron threw open the door and let Susann in. He was surprised by her unexpected arrival because he hadn't anticipated her visit at this hour.Aaron shut the door after her as she entered the room with deliberate yet gentle steps, his mind buzzing with questions.He tried to speak steadily, but he could feel his heartbeat quicken and asked, "What is it, Susann?" Although he was unsure of what to anticipate, he was aware that she rarely arrived with pointless chatter.Susann turned to him, taking a deep breath and maintaining her poise. She started off by saying, "I've been observing something," in a measured tone and with deliberate word choice. After pausing, she went on. "It concerns you and Marie."Although Aaron's brows furrowed slightly, he remained silent. Susann had always been perceptive, constantly watching and conscious of details that others missed; he hadn't anticipated her bringing up his relationship with Marie.He prepared himself for the impendi

CHAPTER 53

Marie was wide awake in her bed, the room cold leaking through the sheets that did little to keep her warm.She was unable to close her eyes even though it was cold. In the fog of her mind, sleep seemed so far away. She kept thinking about Aaron.Not doing so was unavoidable. Her mind was still clear with the picture of him in the rain holding her so tenderly and fiercely at the same time. She could feel his heart beating in time with hers, his chest rising and falling against hers, and the warmth of his embrace.The bond they had formed at that moment had not been significantly weakened by the wet clothing.It had been honest, open and vulnerable. As well as his statement. As they stood there in the rain, he spoke to her in those gentle, almost contrite words. She had been surprised by the sincerity in his eyes as he spoke. She had never anticipated him lowering a wall, but it felt as though he was opening up in a way that he had never done before. Her memory was etched with that g

CHAPTER 54

Marie's eyes fluttered open, and she lay on the bed for a while, enjoying the gentle morning light that came in through the curtains.She felt airy and a lightness in her chest that hadn't been there the day before. She had the feeling... excited. She was excited to see Aaron once more. The recollection of their fleeting passionate moments together—in his arms in the rain—made her heart race.His words and the warmth of his touch had made an impression that would last. She was eager to see him again to have a nice connection and to see if he would behave the same way he had the previous evening.Smiling to herself, she tossed the covers, climbed out of bed and hurriedly started getting ready for the day. She tried to look perfect, to get every detail just right when applying her makeup using a steady hand.She was having trouble focusing because her mind was racing. She was only able to think about Aaron and the way he had held her and gazed at her. What had changed in him during th

CHAPTER 55

Marie’s heart was pounding as she stared at Aaron, expecting him to turn to face her and ask why. But Aaron continued to move. He persisted and did not reduce speed.He moved quickly, but his back was stiff. When they got to the door, he held it open for her, but his jaw was clenched, and his eyes were still focused forward.“We are late,” He said curtly as if that clarified everything.” Go out.”Marie's chest became constricted. The distance was there once more—the chilly temperature. Still following him, still surprised, she went outside. Did she say or do something that caused the change overnight, or did she misinterpret every moment between them? She followed him while keeping an eye on the back of his as he took deliberate, quick, and long steps.It crossed her mind that he might have cut her off because of something that had happened, but she was unaware of it. Her thoughts were disrupted when Susann walked alongside Aaron, catching up to them.She stated in her typically comp

CHAPTER 56

Marie bit her lip, fighting the frustration that was growing inside her. She wanted to question him about his behavior and why, after everything they had discussed, he had abruptly distanced himself. She was unable to ask because the words felt stuck in her throat.She was careful not to exacerbate the situation. She became increasingly irate as the minutes passed. The silence was intolerable. She was confused by what had happened.The memory of the warmth between them the night before when everything had felt so right only made the present more painful. What had she done to deserve this coldness? Why was he acting this way? In what way was he able to simply cut her off? She looked at Aaron once more, but he ignored her. He didn’t even turn to face her. While he drove, she could see his clenched jaw and focused face, but there was no warmth or connection.Just a detached icy concentration on the path ahead.With her voice barely audible over the hum of the engine, Marie muttered, “wh

CHAPTER 57

They reached the entrance of the building, and Aaron stepped inside without a second glance at Marie. She observed him in, glancing over her shoulder to peer at Susann walking in at the back of her, looking just as impartial as Aaron. Marie felt a pang of jealousy. Susann appeared to understand exactly how to handle Aaron’s coldness, while Marie felt like she changed into wholly lost.Why the hell was he giving her a cold reception?They walked into the big assembly room, where numerous shareholders had already been waiting. The room became full of an irritating, expert atmosphere. Marie felt small and out of place, standing in the back of the room at the same time as Aaron took his seat at the top of the table. He right away started talking about enterprise, his voice consistent and commanding as he went over the figures and strategies.Marie watched him with a mixture of admiration and frustration. This became the man she had seen the nighttime earlier than—sturdy, assured, and deci

CHAPTER 58

As quickly as the last shareholder walked out, Marie didn’t wait for Aaron. She drove her chair back and stood up quickly, feeling a rush of hysteria. She couldn’t sit down there anymore or live in the cold room packed with unstated tension. She didn’t need to make it worse by means of lingering. She didn’t need to force herself on him.Without a glance at everyone else, she walked out of the room. Her footsteps echoed inside the hallway, everyone louder than the final. Her coronary heart beat quicker as she moved, and her thoughts had been scattered. Why is Aaron performing like this? What had passed off? Why had he pulled far away from her so unexpectedly?She drove those thoughts apart as she moved towards their workplace. It was less complicated to keep on foot and moving than to sit down in that silence and attempt to make sense of all of it. However, as quickly as she stepped into the office, the stress in her chest elevated. There was no escaping this. There was no escaping the

CHAPTER 59

Aaron cleared his throat. There was a small sound in the silence. He stepped again and commenced to stroll away, but Marie wasn’t equipped to allow him to move. She wasn't going to allow him to shut her out once more, not without some answers.She jumped and blocked his way, standing before him, her eyes flitting over his face and looking for some sign of the man she thought she knew.Aaron froze, his back nonetheless to her. He didn’t flip, didn’t examine her.She took a deep breath. “Aaron, ” she stated, softer than she wanted to, “I want you to tell me something. ” Her eyes stayed fixed at the return of his head, but he didn’t circulate. “One minute you’re sweet to me, you’re apologizing and maintaining me close. And the following minute, you’re distant, bloodless even. What is it? Why are you doing this? ”Aaron tensed; however, he didn’t flip to stand her. He took a step back as if to position the distance between them, even though there was already so much between them. His shou

CHAPTER 60

“I need to know here and now. Do you love me or not, or is this just a settlement we both signed?” Marie’s voice shook as she repeated the query, her chest tight with emotion. The phrases felt heavy as they left her lips, however, she couldn’t take them back. She needed to know, and he or she couldn’t wait anymore.She watched Aaron closely, her breath caught in her throat, watching for a solution that seemed not possible to get. He again still grew to become her, and the silence between them felt thick and suffocating. Time seemed to stretch on for all time, each second dragging as she waited for him to talk.Aaron didn’t say anything. He stood nonetheless, as though frozen in location, now not even turning to observe her. Marie’s coronary heart pounded in her chest, and her arms trembled as she attempted to hold herself together.The silence grew insufferable. The handiest sound in the room became the gentle sound of their breathing and the clock ticking within the heritage. Marie o
