Lahat ng Kabanata ng VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1): Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

"Hi, Ms. Felicity Rose Lee. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm delighted to make your acquaintance." I studied the elegance of Fleur's mom's face as we introduced ourselves. Her aura seemed light, with no visible stress or tension. Her eyes, gazing at me, appeared gentle and devoid of malice. Perhaps I was being paranoid, doubting her genuine intention to sponsor my project.The three of us were together now—Jacob, Mrs. Collins, and I. Jacob had insisted on joining me, evidently aware of my apprehensions about this meeting. I was grateful for his intuition; he often grasped my reactions without needing explanations, saving me the trouble of concocting excuses."I'm glad you agreed to meet with me, Ms. Lee. I know you're quite busy with your collections, and if I may say so, I'm an admirer of your work. Your artworks are an inspiration to me, and they've motivated me to take up painting myself." My mouth parted slightly in surprise at her words. I shot a glance at Jacob, incredul

Chapter 44My problems were mounting, but amidst the chaos, I found myself prioritizing someone else's issues over my own. Bryle and I took a flight to the US. It was sudden, so I didn't get a chance to inform Aeun that I'd be leaving and wouldn't be able to attend work for a few days.Upon arrival, we headed straight to the hospital where Bryle's grandfather had been admitted. The doctor explained his current condition. His grandfather was experiencing breathing difficulties due to a hole in his heart, medically referred to as an atrial septal defect (ASD).The doctor said surgery was an option, but they were uncertain if the patient's body could withstand the operation due to his advanced age. Bryle was left standing in the corner, overwhelmed and deep in thought, unsure of what to do in this situation.His parents and grandmother arrived, drawing our attention to them."I didn't expect you to actually come here, Calix," Bryle's mom sai

Problems are piling up one after another with the companies I manage; am I having a streak of bad luck?I collapsed onto my bed and stared at the ceiling. It's been two days since I decided to return to Italy due to the problems I'd heard about. I managed to handle the issue at Lee Corp, but Aeun still hasn't stopped lecturing me—she keeps saying as if I've brought all the bad luck from the places I've been to the company.I've been sorting out issues at Lee Corp since the day I got back in Italy. And with Blu Arte's, I'm still in the process of getting things fixed. The museum I just acquired had caught fire, and Aeun was right—it's a miracle it didn't burn to the ground. At least, I can still have the time for renovation before the launch day.Until now, Bryle and I haven't spoken since I arrived in Italy. I haven't messaged him, and neither has he. I wonder how his grandfather is doing; I hope he's in good condition and getting better...Tonigh

With those words, I couldn't help but get excited. I don't know what is happening, but I know Bryle wasn't kidding about that. I'm sure he definitely couldn't wait to do everything he had in mind. We arrived at the dining area, and he sat me down at the table, which immediately made me shudder. He caressed my shoulders, then down my arms, and when he caught my hands, he gently kissed them. He softly smiled at me and gently kissed my neck until a moan escaped from my lips. He was tickling me like this, and my body started to heat up. I couldn't help but flinch slightly when I felt Bryle's breath suddenly on my skin. "I miss your scent, wife..." I heard him comment. As he continued to smell my skin, I voluntarily took off my nightie. It was as if I was hypnotized and ordered to do this action. I saw Bryle's amazement at my body like he was seeing it for the first time. He gently caressed my breasts and sucked my nipples. He continued to do that, and then the gentle touches of his han

I rarely step foot into my grandfather's office, the chairman of the Lee Clan. He also rarely speaks to us, and when he does, it's usually about business, so I'm certain that he called me in to discuss the Lee Corp operations I'm handling in Italy."Why is Mathilda not with you?" The chairman asked as soon as I entered his office. "Why didn't you bring your grandma back with you?""Chairman, Grandma said I should come ahead as she has some matters to attend to before returning to Chengdu," I replied respectfully, providing the information. Grandpa scrutinized me, as if weighing whether to trust the information I had given him."Take a seat, Rose," he instructed, and I promptly obeyed. "How's Lee Corp in Italy? Are you managing it well?" That was the topic he jumped straight into—business, as expected. I wasn't surprised he didn't ask about my well-being before inquiring about the company."It's running smoothly, chairman. Occasionally, there are i
