Chapter 21

Amara’s POVI was going through some documents on my desk when I felt a presence standing right in front of me.I didn’t need to look up to know who it was.“Amara.”His voice was firm.I slowly lifted my head.Damian stood there, his expression serious, his brows slightly furrowed like he had been thinking too much.“Can we talk?” he asked.I nodded without saying anything.We stepped outside to a quieter corner where no one would disturb us. The air felt tense, like something heavy was about to happen.“What is it?” I asked softly.He looked at me for a few seconds before speaking, like he was trying to control himself.“So… you’re going to China with Mr. Adrian?”The question came out more like an accusation than curiosity.I blinked slightly, surprised by his tone.“Yes,” I replied calmly. “It’s for work.”His jaw tightened immediately.“And you didn’t think to tell me?”I frowned a little, confused by his reaction.“I was going to. I’ve just been busy preparing—”“Busy?” he cut i

Chapter 22

Amara’s POV Monday came faster than I expected, and before I knew it, I was already prepared to leave for China that morning.I woke up early, got dressed, and made sure everything I needed was packed. Before leaving, I called Isabel and asked her to help me handle things at the company while I was away.“Please call me if you have any questions,” I told her.She agreed immediately, and after ending the call, I felt a bit relieved knowing someone reliable was covering for me.My flight was scheduled for 10 a.m., fully paid by the company and not just any seat—business class.I had never been on business class before.Just thinking about it made me excited.By 8 a.m., I decided to call Mr. Adrian.“Good morning, sir,” I said immediately the call connected.“I won’t be joining you. Go ahead. I’ll meet you either at the airport, and if I don’t make it, I’ll see you in China,” he replied almost immediately.I paused for a second.He could have at least responded to my greeting.I fr

Chapter 23

Adrian’s POV I had to meet my father early that morning, even though I originally planned to go to the airport with Amara.It was important, so I couldn’t avoid it.Still… I wasn’t pleased.When she called, I told her to go ahead without me.“I won’t be joining you. Go ahead,” I said, keeping my voice neutral. “I’ll meet you at the airport, and if I don’t make it, I’ll see you in China.”After ending the call, I focused on the meeting with my father.But even then… my mind wasn’t completely there.As soon as I was done, I left immediately and headed straight to the airport.I didn’t even realize how fast I was driving until I got there.And when I stepped into the terminal I saw her.She hadn’t left yet.For some reason, I felt relieved.I started walking toward her, but just then, she suddenly stood up like she was rushing somewhere.Before I could reach her, she bumped into someone.I stopped.They started exchanging pleasantries.The man smiled.She smiled back.Something a

Chapter 24

Amara’s POV I woke up slowly, my mind still hazy from sleep, and for a moment, I just stayed still, trying to process where I was. The soft hum of the plane engines filled the silence around me, and that was when it hit me. I was on the flight. But… something felt strange. I blinked a few times, adjusting myself slightly, and realized something else. I was lying down and very comfortable That alone surprised me. I frowned slightly, sitting up properly as I tried to remember how I even fell asleep. Then my gaze shifted to the side. Mr. Adrian was there, seated beside me, focused on his laptop as he worked calmly, his expression serious and unreadable. I paused for a second. Was it him? I didn’t know why, but somehow, it felt like it. I quickly shook my head, pushing the thought aside. What was I even thinking? A while later, the flight attendants came by with snacks and food. Mr. Adrian didn’t say much, but he ordered for both of us like it was the mos

Chapter 25 Bonus POV

Lily’s POV After work that day, I went to see Damian because I just wanted to know how he was after I had told him about Amara’s traveling, and honestly, he should have been angry.When I got to his office, I paused for a second before walking in, only to find Damian seated behind his desk, focused on his laptop and completely absorbed in his work, with no sighs, no frustration, and no sign of sadness—nothing at all, which made me frown slightly.“Damian,” I called softly as I stepped inside.He looked up briefly and said, “Lily,” and that was it no extra reaction, no change in expression.I walked closer, carefully watching his face before speaking again. “Have you… heard from Amara?” I asked cautiously, studying his reaction and waiting to see something, anything at all, but he didn’t even pause.“She is in China already,” he replied calmly, his eyes returning to his screen as if it meant nothing.That was all?just like that?.My chest tightened because that couldn’t be it,

Chapter 26

Amara’s POVAfter I called Isabel, I slowly made my way back to the table where Adrian was seated, but even as I sat down, I could still feel the heaviness in my chest, my mood refusing to lift no matter how hard I tried to push it aside.Adrian looked up at me almost immediately, his sharp eyes scanning my face like he was trying to read something I wasn’t saying.“Are you okay?” he asked.I forced a small smile, nodding lightly. “Yes.”But even I knew that answer sounded unconvincing.And clearly… he wasn’t buying it.I lowered my gaze, my fingers tightening slightly around my phone as my eyes drifted back to Damian’s message once again.“Are you in China already?”I stared at the words for a few seconds, my thoughts tangled.I still can't stand Damian no matter how caring he is. I still can't forget my previous life and what he did and each time I think of that that my chest tightens.I suddenly felt Adrian’s gaze on me, steady and observant, like he hadn’t looked away since I sat

Chapter 27

Adrian’s POVThe moment I entered my room, I didn’t move any further, my hand remaining on the door handle as though I had been frozen in place, while my mind replayed everything that had just happened in the hallway with an intensity that refused to fade.She almost fell, and without thinking,without even giving myself a second to process it—I caught her, not once but twice, as though my body had already made the decision long before my mind could catch up.I exhaled slowly, my grip tightening slightly on the handle as the memory settled deeper into me instead of leaving.For a brief moment, I allowed myself to relive it completely, every detail unfolding again with dangerous clarity—the way she stumbled, the way her body fit so easily in my arms as if it belonged there, the way her breath hitched when I pulled her closer, soft and unsteady, sending a strange, unfamiliar tension through me that I could neither explain nor control.I closed my eyes, but it didn’t help, because I was s

Chapter 28

Amara’s POVI woke up later than I intended, the heaviness of sleep still clinging to me as I blinked slowly at the unfamiliar ceiling above, my mind blank for a few seconds as though I had forgotten everything until it all came rushing back at once, overwhelming and sharp, reminding me that I was in China on a work trip with Mr. Adrian, and the moment I glanced at my phone and saw the time, panic settled in instantly because I was late, and he must have been waiting for a long time.I sat up abruptly, pressing my fingers against my temples as if I could physically push away the memory of the hallway incident, as if denying it would somehow make the tension disappear.“Get it together, Amara,” I muttered under my breath, trying to steady myself even though my thoughts refused to cooperate.Just then, my phone lit up, the sudden brightness making my heart jump slightly.A message from Adrian.I’m waiting.My eyes widened immediately.“Oh my God.”I jumped out of bed and rushed into the

Chapter 29

Adrian’s POVAfter my shower, I went downstairs earlier than necessary, telling myself it was simply to stay on schedule and maintain discipline, but deep down I knew that wasn’t the truth, because the reality was much simpler and far more dangerous—I was waiting for her.I sat there, appearing calm and composed on the outside, my posture relaxed and my expression unreadable, yet my mind refused to be still as it kept replaying the entire day in relentless detail, every moment resurfacing with sharp clarity.The way she carried herself at the factories lingered the most—focused, sharp, completely different from the version of her I had known before—and it caught me off guard more than I cared to admit.She was serious when she worked, determined in a way that made it impossible to look away, and somehow that only made her even more distracting.There were moments when I wanted to praise her, to tell her she did well and that she had impressed me more than I expected, but I didn’t, and

chapter 30

Amara’s POVDamian called while I was still seated across from Mr. Adrian, and the moment my phone lit up, I picked up almost immediately, standing up as I excused myself with a quiet word before stepping aside.“Hello?”“Are you not coming back today?” Damian asked, getting straight to the point as always.I hesitated slightly before answering, choosing my words carefully. “No… we’re not done yet. We’ll probably return tomorrow.”There was a pause on the other end, brief but heavy.“…I see,” he said.He sounded normal, calm even, but I knew him well enough to hear what he wasn’t saying, to recognize the tension beneath that steady tone.He was angry.He just wasn’t showing it.“I’ll call you later,” I added, not knowing what else to say.“Hmm.”The line went dead.I stared at my phone for a few seconds before lowering it slowly, my grip loosening as an unfamiliar heaviness settled in my chest.For some reason, I felt emotionally tired, as if the call had drained more from me than it
