61. No More Distance

"Thank you for all your hard work, Erwin." I looked around at my employees, who were all smiling with satisfaction. "To all of you... I'm truly grateful. Enjoy your well-deserved break," I said, earning a chorus of cheerful applause.I also made sure to thank the hotel staff for preparing such an incredible venue for the event. They nodded with broad smiles before returning to clean up the ballroom.When I stepped outside, Anna was already waiting for me, sitting on a sofa with her fingers fidgeting in her lap. The lively voices of my employees lingering inside the ballroom faded as I closed the door behind me.Now, it was just Anna and me.My heart suddenly began to pound as I remembered her request for tonight.For three years, I had kept my distance from her.Tonight, every one of those boundaries would come crashing down.Swallowing hard, I forced myself to walk over to her.She immediately looked up and greeted me with a faint smile."Finished?" she asked."Yeah. They're still dr

62. Stolen Happiness

ANNAAnother nosebleed.Warm blood trickled over my lips. My chest rose and fell as I fought back the panic.Why now?I hurried into the bathroom, leaving Dylan on the bed.Standing in front of the sink, I grabbed a few tissues. Footsteps approached the half-open bathroom door. Dylan stood there in nothing but a bathrobe, leaning casually against the frame."Are you okay? Was I too rough? Is that why your nose started bleeding?" he asked, concern filling his voice.Realizing he had already covered himself while I was still completely naked made heat rush to my face. I quickly covered my exposed chest and glanced at him."I'm fine. Could you close the door?"Dylan rolled his eyes. Instead of leaving, he walked into the bathroom and took the towel hanging on the rack. I froze as he draped it over my shoulders."So you still get embarrassed? Even though I've already seen every inch of you," Dylan teased before sitting down on the closed toilet lid. His gaze lingered on me. "Why have you

63. Don't Let Me Die Here

I slowly opened my eyes. Every inch of my body ached, and my head still throbbed. Through my blurred vision, I saw someone walking into the storage shed."Please... help me," I said as she crouched in front of me. But the moment I saw the sly smile curling across her lips, I knew that was never going to happen. Not a single servant in this house was on my side. Every one of them obeyed Jessy.The young maid reached into her pocket and pulled out a cleaning cloth. My eyes widened as she shoved it into my mouth before tying it tightly behind my head."Mmph! Mmph! Mmmph!"I struggled, trying to get up, but she forced my head back against the floor. Leaning close to my ear, she whispered in a low, cutting voice."Mrs. Jessy said you'll be spending the night here," she said with a satisfied laugh. "How pathetic. Not a single person cares about you. I'm even willing to bet Mr. Dylan won't come looking for you, even if you disappear from this house completely."I bit down hard, fighting back

64. A Wish for Tomorrow

DYLAN"Move aside, Mom. If Anna really isn't in there, you shouldn't be acting like this," I said, making Jessy bite her lip. She stepped away from the door with an irritated look on her face.I knocked on the door. The commotion I'd heard moments ago had completely stopped.From behind me, Jessy scoffed. "I already told you. There's nothing in there. It's just a rat.""Where's the key to the storage room?" I asked, ignoring her excuse.She clicked her tongue. "It's missing."Knowing it was nothing but another lie, I stepped back from the door. On the count of three, I slammed my shoulder into it with all my strength. The lock snapped free, and the door crashed against the wall.The stale smell of dust and mildew flooded my senses. I coughed as particles swirled through the air. Boxes were scattered everywhere. Old books lay strewn across the floor alongside piles of broken junk.Jessy hurried over. "The rats must've done that. Let the servants clean it up," she said, grabbing my arm

65. There Was a Reason

I frowned at her question. Just as I was about to answer, she spoke again, her eyes still fixed on the cover of The Little Princess."Dylan, would you give me what I want if I wanted to have a baby?" she asked, her expression unreadable. There was hope in her eyes, but also hesitation."I don't know," I replied casually, taking the shopping basket from her. "Done? I'll pay," I said, quickly changing the subject.For some reason, I didn't want to talk about it right now. After the past few nights we'd spent together, there was a real chance Anna could be pregnant. But that was exactly what frightened me the most.If she was pregnant, I was certain Jessy wouldn't stay quiet. What happened today was enough to make me realize that the longer Anna stayed by my side, the more she would end up getting hurt.After paying for all of her books, we sat side by side in the car. Anna was the first to break the silence. Her voice sounded tired."You didn't answer my question.""If you get pregnant,

66. Losing Control

After dealing with the servants, I took some time to head to PayandC with Erwin to check on the progress of the application. Looking over the graphs he showed me, I felt satisfied. Market demand continued to climb, and even companies overseas had begun expressing interest in expanding our system.Seeing the opportunities ahead, I couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment. My eyes lingered on the screen for a moment. If Anna hadn't pushed me this far back then, I probably never would have reached the position I was in today."As instructed, sir, I've cleared your schedule starting at two tomorrow afternoon. The following day, though, your schedule will be much busier," Erwin said, breaking me out of my thoughts."Hm." I slid the screen aside. I was thinking about granting two of Anna's requests tomorrow. She would surely understand that my workload was only getting heavier."Do we have a lot of meetings with investors and company executives o

67. When My Secret Fell Apart

I wasn't actually asleep last night. I heard everything Dylan did to me. His touch, his breathing, even the quiet moans he tried so hard to suppress, they were all still vividly etched into my memory. If I had let him know I was awake, I was certain he would've been embarrassed. So I stayed perfectly still and pretended to be asleep until he was finished.As I turned on the shower, I tilted my head back, letting the water cascade over my face. My eyes drifted shut.Why did he have to do it by himself?If only he had asked me, I would have gladly fulfilled my duty as his wife. But Dylan's pride was simply too great. He would never admit it.After I finished showering and got dressed, I left the bedroom and headed downstairs. The house was unusually quiet. I glanced around, but there wasn't a single servant in sight. They were usually busy in the kitchen or chatting near the dining table.But this time was different.Did

68. A Reason to Live

"So, ma'am... you have acute leukemia? Oh my God. Why have you been keeping this from Mr. Dylan? Your husband should know!" Brenda exclaimed.I quickly pressed a finger to my lips, urging her to lower her voice.I gave her a bitter smile. "We're getting divorced, Brenda."The color drained from Brenda's face. She covered her mouth. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was out of line. I promise I won't tell anyone, but... honestly, I hate that you're doing this to yourself," she said, unable to hide her frustration. "You... you deserve support, not the way you were treated this morning.""I'm used to being treated like that.""That doesn't mean you have to stay silent, does it? Ma'am..."I hurriedly cut her off. "Brenda, I'm fine."She shook her head. "No, you're not. I saw what happened earlier... and that wasn't okay."I bit my lip.Brenda gently rested her hand over mine. "Mrs. Anna, you need intensive treatment. It could extend your life, maybe even... maybe you could recover.""If I do that, Dyl

69. Quiet Prayer

As our bodies moved together, my mind drifted to something that probably sounded impossible.I wanted to carry Dylan's child.I cried out silently in my heart as Dylan pressed a kiss to the pulse in my neck. My fingers tangled in his hair while I repeated that one wish over and over. Even if I never spoke it aloud, I believed God could hear me now.Our breaths collided. The heat radiating from our bodies turned the car into a sauna. The windows gradually fogged over as we made love.My arms circled Dylan's neck. Soft moans trembled in my throat every time he thrust into me, hitting that place that made stars burst behind my eyes. My head fell back as he pushed even deeper."Ah!""You like that?" Dylan asked, cupping my face in both hands.I gave him a weak nod before wrapping my arms around him again. The car rocked violently. Honestly, I was afraid someone might notice what we were doing. But even more than that, I was afraid of letting even a second of the pleasure Dylan gave me sli

70. Hidden Truths

DYLAN"Look at you. You're this tense already," I teased, snatching the phone from Anna's hand. Without taking my eyes off her, I tossed it onto the bed. "If there's really nothing going on, you wouldn't be this scared, would you?""Dylan, didn't you say you were busy?" she asked, deliberately changing the subject."Yeah.""Then you don't...""I do. I can go with you for a while and head back to the office afterward. A medical checkup doesn't take that long, does it?" I asked bluntly, watching the panic spread across Anna's face.Seriously, what was she hiding that had her this nervous? If she was really just going for a checkup, why was she so afraid of me coming along?Strange.I clicked my tongue and turned to leave. At the doorway of her room, I glanced back over my shoulder."Hurry up and come to my room. The hot bath is ready."She nodded and followed behind me.The thought of Anna and Vallen together left my jaw tight. For some reason, I couldn't shake the feeling that their re
