Lindsay“You have the perfect model figure,” the stylist complimented while I stood in the mirror, allowing her to take my measurements. I uttered a quiet, “Thank you,” in appreciation.“When I was told to measure Engel’s wife, I was like, Engel is married?” Willow put on a surprised face to show how shocked she must have been to hear; I chuckled slightly, “I guess that is how everyone sees us.”Willow raised her head at me while taking measurements from my waistline. “I was shocked because I’ve had a bit of a crush on him for a while and always wondered why he’s single,” Willow admitted, “But seeing you, I want to say he made the right choice.”“Thank you,” I breathed out, staring at myself in the mirror, “You have showered me with a lot of compliments today, and you are also funny.”Willow flung the measuring tape over her neck as she placed her notepad inside her bag. “I already have a dress prepared for you. I was doubtful it would fit since I have never seen you before, but I thi

EngelThis cemented it: the happiness on her face. It had been long since I had last seen her smile in this way. Lindsay looked so full of life and energy. I don’t want to accept it, but it was simply what it was.“Are we heading home?” Lindsay asked the moment she saw me; there was no look of remorse, or she cared how I would feel about it. I nodded and stretched out my hand to her to take it.“I hope to see you again,” Elias mouthed the words, and she smiled.Rather than coming up to me, Lindsay went the other way, and I followed her. “You are wet; let me ask Antoinette for a dress or something and get a towel,” I offered as Lindsay finally stopped.“I can ask her myself,” Lindsay said defiantly, but I wasn’t going to listen to her. If she keeps this stubborn behavior, she might end up with a cold.I took her hand and pulled her along as I approached Levi; he didn’t need much description before knowing what was up. I collected the towel one of the waiters had brought for me.“I will

LindsayI was surprised when I was told I wouldn’t be offered dinner unless I came downstairs; it wasn’t as if I was the one who locked myself up here in the first place. I stealthily walked down the stairs, as there was a lot of cheerful laughter below, which quite wasn’t how the ambiance of the Gunther Mansion is like.There were quite a few guests, which made me wonder what was going on there. I stared at the place in confusion until I felt a hand swoop me away before I could even reach where the guests were.“Johann?” I sounded a bit skeptical if it was him.“Sister-in-law, erm… What are you doing here?” Johann asked me; it felt as though he was trying to hide something from me or there was someone he didn’t want me to see, which is weird.“I was told to come down for dinner; that is why I am here,” I explained briefly as it occurred to me, “Did your brother send you to keep watch of me so I don’t run away? He is starting to act like a fool these days, and it is driving me nuts.”“

EngelAs I admired Lindsay’s body bathed in sunlight, I gently ran my fingers through her hair. Every moment with her felt like rediscovering the thrill of falling in love, a rush of warmth and excitement. Last night, I had gotten my confirmation of how much she loved me; it was something her lips and body couldn’t deny.It sucks that I had to go to work, and it was something I just couldn’t skip or delegate to Conrad; he already had a lot on his plate.“Lindsay,” I called her, the bed ruffled as she changed her position, mumbling sounds I couldn’t decipher as words, “Lindsay,” I called her name again, wanting to leave, but I also didn’t want to do that, wishing her good morning.“Mhm, Engel...” Lindsay’s eyes opened. “Good morning,” she said with a smile. “Last night was wonderful.”And there will be more nights after that, I wanted to say to her. I chose not to because I feared how she would react; it hasn’t been this easy getting to this stage with her; taking it slowly should be m

LindsayFive Years Later“Business mogul, Engel Gunther—“I turned the television off immediately before I could hear the news.“Are you still bothered by him?” Alessia asked, after serving table six and placing the next order on the counter. “Who?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t know what was up.“You know who,” Alessia replied before taking the next order to their table and coming back again while I was cleaning up the kitchen. I wiped the sweat off my face with my face towel as the place was hot. “I think we need to get the other oven fixed; we can’t simply be working on this one.”“You have been working very hard, Lindsay; how about you take it easy?” Alessia suggested it, given how much I have been working nonstop.I was even looking for an extra job to add to this restaurant that I run, and I couldn’t seem to find one that would accept me because of my lack of experience and a criterion that stated that I was too old.“Alessia, you can’t request this from me,” I said, pacing
