Bella It was finally the day of the presentation, I woke up feeling both excited and determined to prove myself once again.Ever since joining Sebastian’s company, I had been working tirelessly to establish my place and show everyone exactly what I was capable of accomplishing.This presentation was extremely important because several board members and investors would be attending the meeting.I carefully reviewed my notes one final time before leaving for work.By the time I arrived at the company building, everything was already prepared for the presentation to begin.Several executives greeted me warmly while guiding me toward the conference room.I noticed how even differently everyone treated me now compared to my first day at the company.Back then, many of them had looked at me with doubt and skepticism.Now, most of them treated me with genuine respect and admiration.I walked confidently into the conference room and took my place near the large screen.Sebastian was already

Bella When I noticed Damien approaching us, the sight of him immediately made my entire body tense with nervousness all over again. Even though I had spent weeks rebuilding my life and convincing myself that he no longer had any power over my emotions, seeing him standing there still affected me more than I wanted to admit.My fingers slowly tightened around my handbag while my breathing became slightly uneven.For a brief moment, old memories threatened to resurface inside my mind.Fortunately, Sebastian stepped forward before Damien could get anywhere near me. A wave of relief washed over me.I watched Sebastian position himself directly in Damien’s path, completely blocking him from coming any closer to me. For some reason, that simple action made me feel strangely safe.I decided to enter the car while observing the interaction unfolding outside.Even though I could not hear every single word they were exchanging, I could tell from Sebastian’s expression that he was not happy a

BellaThe moment Sebastian leaned forward again, another wave of nausea seemed to hit him without warning, and before either of us could react properly, he ended up vomiting directly onto me.My eyes widened in complete disbelief as I slowly looked down at my clothes.There was vomit all over the front of my outfit.There was vomit on my sleeves, my hands, and even parts of my hair.The shock was so overwhelming that I could not even form a response.Sebastian looked up at me weakly, the color seemed to drain from his already pale face.His eyes widened with horror before he tried to stand. Unfortunately, his body was far too weak to cooperate.He barely managed to rise halfway before sinking back down onto the stool again.His voice sounded miserable as he looked at me.“Bella, I am so sorry.”I continued staring at him for several moments without speaking.Sebastian looked even more distressed by my silence.“I’m sorry.”I opened my mouth to respond, but the words died before they c

Sebastian I genuinely could not understand why Bella was staring at me with such an unusually intense expression.For several long seconds, she remained completely frozen while her eyes stayed fixed on me in a way that immediately made me suspicious of whatever thoughts were currently running through her mind.Her expression looked strangely conflicted, making it impossible for me to determine whether she was shocked by my sudden appearance or simply annoyed by something else entirely.Before I could ask what exactly her problem was, Bella suddenly spun around so quickly that her hair whipped behind her shoulders dramatically.She threw both hands into the air while sounding far more offended than the situation actually justified.“Why would you walk out of the bathroom without giving me any warning beforehand?”I stared at the back of her head for several moments while trying to process the sheer absurdity of the complaint she had just thrown at me.“What exactly was I supposed to

Sebastian The following morning, the very first thing I did after waking up was request to get discharged from the hospital.I had already spent far too many hours lying in that uncomfortable bed, and despite everyone insisting that I needed additional rest, I wanted nothing more than to leave as quickly as possible.Bella immediately frowned after hearing my request and looked at me as though I had completely lost my mind before saying, “Can you stop being incredibly stubborn? The doctor already explained that your body needs proper rest and recovery.”I leaned back against the raised hospital bed and sighed heavily before replying, “I understand everything the doctor explained yesterday, but I still want to leave this hospital as soon as possible.”Bella folded her arms tightly across her chest and stared at me with obvious frustration before saying, “Most normal people prefer staying somewhere they can receive proper medical attention instead of rushing back out while they are
