Stephen: “Irene, are you okay?” Stephen asked.Seeing me coughing nonstop, he questioned me anxiously while quickly handing me some tissues.Me: “No… I’m fine. I’m just not used to drinking,” I said between coughs.I kept coughing, making the atmosphere awkward. Stephen then moved closer and gently patted my back. At that moment, it felt as if there was something between us. Stephen’s gestures warmed my heart. If I could live with a man as caring and gentle as him for the rest of my life, even without love, I thought I would be very happy.Stephen: “Why didn’t you tell me you couldn’t handle alcohol? I wouldn’t have let you drink if I’d known.”Stephen asked while looking at me with an expression full of guilt.Me: “I’m fine. I just choked accidentally. It’s nothing serious,” I replied.From not too far away, a familiar face suddenly met my gaze, leaving me stunned.Me: Why is Nathan here? I wondered in panic.

Me: Nathan, what are you doing? You’re hurting me.Gripping my wrists tightly with both hands, Nathan stared straight at me.Nathan: It’s been so long. Where did you go after you left the restaurant? What did you do with Stephen?He started interrogating me the moment he opened his mouth. Already in a bad mood, his questions only made me angrier.Me: That’s none of your business! I don’t owe you an explanation about where I go or what I do.I replied defiantly, feeling deeply insulted.How dare he speak to me like that? Who did he think he was to me? Because of him, I couldn’t live a normal life.I lived in constant fear that someone might discover our affair. Was I not even allowed a little freedom now?Nathan: Irene, you still belong to me for the next few months. You’re mine, and I have every right to control you.My protest had no effect on him. He merely shot me a cold look, still domineering and overpo

Mom: “Irene, how can you ask such a question? The person who gave the money is your boyfriend. Don’t you even know his name?”Me: “Mom, just answer my question!” I said insistently.Mom: “The person who sent the money seemed to be your boyfriend’s assistant. All I remember is that he said Mr. Spence asked him to deliver the money.”Why would he give money to my parents?Mom: “Irene, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop talking?”My mother asked in confusion, breaking the long silence that had settled in.Me: “No, it’s nothing. I still have work to finish, so I’ll talk to you later, Mom. I need to hang up now.”My mother was about to say something else, but I quickly ended the call, cutting her off.After hanging up, my heart refused to calm down for a long time. I then looked toward the president’s office, wondering what Nathan was thinking.Lily: “Hey, Irene, you’ve been staring at the president’s office for quite a while now. Do you have a crush on Mr. Spence?”Lily’s ey

Me: “I never wanted to be your girlfriend, because I know the gap between us. You can rest assured of that,” I replied.Of course, a man like him would end up marrying a suitable woman from a prestigious family. How could a woman like me ever become his official wife?It was something I didn’t even dare to think about.Nathan: “I, Nathan, will never force a woman. I’ll give you time to think it over carefully.”His words made me let out a huge sigh of relief. Although Nathan was an authoritative man, he wasn’t unreasonable.However, I didn’t need more time to think—I had already decided to end this liaison because I feared I would lose control of my feelings if I continued this relationship.After all, this man was exceptional, and truthfully, I assumed only a rare few women wouldn’t be attracted to him. But in the end, I was just an ordinary woman, and that meant I would surely fall in love with an extraordinary and charming man.Yet I knew this man was never meant to be mine. So I w

I wasn’t in the mood to argue with Nathan anymore. I went into the bathroom, took a shower, and decided to go to bed early because I planned to return to my hometown early the next morning. After all, I needed to take those 100,000 dollars and return them to Nathan.At first, it had just been an agreement between the two of us, but not anymore. After stepping out of the shower, I assumed Nathan would have left, feeling uninterested today. However, I had always overestimated this man. Instead of leaving, it turned out he had followed me into the bedroom.Frowning, I looked at Nathan sitting on the enormous bed.Me: “Why are you still here? I want to rest.”I hadn’t planned to argue with Nathan tonight, but my mood was indeed very bad.Nathan: “Then let’s rest together. After a long day, I’m tired too,” he replied. Surprisingly, he wasn’t angry at my attitude. On the contrary, he looked at me with a smile. Once he finished speaking, he lay down on the huge bed.Me: “Mr. Spence, if you h
