Chapter 71: Something Real

About an hour ago, this corner of my living room was empty. And now... The midnight blue instrument shimmered under the warm glow of my living room lights. I stood in front of it, just… staring. My fingers hovered just above it for a moment before I ran it along the polished wood, the surface feeling cool and solid beneath my touch. A warmth began to spread from my chest, rising up my throat until it felt tight. A shaky breath left me. This is real. He did this. For me. My vision blurred for a brief second before I even realized why. Emotion. It came out of nowhere, rising, catching me off guard. I blinked quickly, pressing my lips together as I forced them back fiercely. I swallowed, steadying myself, my fingers still resting against the piano. I heard the front door open and close behind me. Then, his voice drifted through the room, low and steady. "I kind of figured you might like this." I stood still for a heartbeat, my hand still resting on the blue wood. Then,

Chapter 72: Expectations

AMELIA The morning light filtered through the large windows, casting a soft glow over the room. I stood in front of the Adrian, carefully adjusting his tie. He stood there with his height looming over me and his gaze fixed entirely on my face. His hands rested lightly on my waist as I straightened the knot. "Hold still," I murmured, straightening the knot one last time. "You keep moving." "I’m not moving," he said, his voice quiet but amused. "You are," I chuckled. "Do you know what today is?" he smiled, his voice low. I paused my movements, as my fingers lingered on the cool fabric of his tie. I looked up, biting my lower lip and pulling my brows together as if I was genuinely searching my brain for a missing date. "Today?" I mused, tapping my chin. "Hmm..." His eyes narrowed playfully. "Come on, Amelia..." I laughed. "Of course I know what today is, Adrian." "Happy five-month anniversary, babe," he murmured. "Happy five-month anniversary," I replied. He le

Chapter 73: Out Of Line

I exhaled slowly, forcing my voice to stay calm even though I could feel the frustration building up. I had spent four months... no, five months actually, working hard, putting my head down, and delivering results that were nothing short of perfect. And now, I was starting to get pissed. "For the past months, I haven't missed a single deadline. I have always met my schedules and delivered on time. So I have no idea where this sudden criticism is coming from." Ms. Corey leaned back in her chair, narrowing her eyes. I took a breath and continued, "Furthermore, the task you gave me isn’t even in my line of expertise. I’m a Senior Marketing Strategist, Ms. Corey. The assignment you handed me falls under financial analysis and operational restructuring and should be handled by someone in business analytics and not me." I held her gaze firmly now. "But I still accepted it because I knew I could do it and wanted to help the team. However, when I think about it now, this is not h

Chapter 74: A Stranger

I got back to the office still fuming. Megan and Casey looked up simultaneously as I slumped into my chair. My hands were shaking slightly. "Amelia?" Megan whispered, leaning over "What happened? You look like you’ve had just enough for today." "What’s wrong?" Casey added, his voice laced with concern. I took a deep, shuddering breath, staring at the blank monitor of my computer. "Uhmm, I don't really want to talk about it right now," I said, my voice tight. "Please. I just need a minute." They exchanged a look but respected my boundary. "Okay," Casey said gently. "We’re here if you change your mind." The rest of the day was a blur of distracted work. The warmth that had filled my chest this morning had been replaced by something else... anger. What a way to ruin an anniversary, I thought, shaking my head. I tried to focus on my actual work, the strategy outlines and campaign adjustments I had been handling before Ms. Corey dumped that assignment on me but my mind kept

Chapter 75: Mall Observer

I took the shopping bag from the counter before glancing at him. He was not someone I recognized. "Hi," I responded, my voice cautious and keeping the wall of professionalism firmly in place. "You’re Amelia, right?" he asked. I looked at him, unable to hide the flash of surprise that flickered across my face. I hadn't seen this man a day in my life, yet he knew my name. "Who’s asking?" I asked with my eyes narrowing. He let out a small laugh. "Well, me." "And you are...?" "You do not need to know that," he said. "Not yet, anyway." I felt a bit of unease. This wasn't a exactly standard "pick-up" line, especially when it's a total stranger who knows your name. "Right. Well, that’s weird," I muttered, turning my shoulder to him. I had no interest in playing riddles with a total stranger. Not today. I began to walk toward the mall exit, my pace quick, but the guy wasn't done. He fell into step beside me. "I kind of noticed you got off work early today," he remarked i

Chapter 76: A Long Day

My mom sat beside me as she watched me with smile on her face. "You’re really serious about him, aren't you?" she asked softly. "With Adrian?" I didn't even have to think about it. "Yes," I responded. "I am." "You love him, right?" I gave a small smile and an affirmative nod. "Yeah... Yeah I do." She exhaled. "I’m happy for you, Amelia. Truly." "Thanks, Mom," I said, reaching out to squeeze her hand. Her smile faltered slightly as her expression became more serious now. "But... I’m not going to ignore the fact that you look kind of down. Something is bothering you. What is it?" I sighed, the exhaustion of the day finally catching up to me. I reached into the ribboned box and took a bite of a scone. "Well," I started, looking at the few crumbs on my lap. "It's my new boss." "Your new boss?" she echoed. "What about her?" "I don't really complain about work. I love my job. I love what I do. Seeing a campaign come together, watching the strategies actually work o

Chapter 77: Getting Through The Day

The following morning, I was determined to get through work like always. I stood before the full-length mirror, smoothing the fabric of my tailored trousers. My hair was pulled back into a sleek, low bun. Then, I picked up the stainless steel bracelet Adrian had given me just yesterday for our five-month anniversary. It was a stunning, delicate piece, part of a matching couple’s set. I slid it on. Adrian had already left the house way earlier. I took one last look in the mirror, adjusted my blazer, and headed downstairs. I locked up and left the house. I got into my car and drove toward the office with a single-minded determination, Just get through it. I finally got to work and walked toward the office. "Amelia! Hey," Megan called out. Casey was right beside her, holding a cup carrier that held some cups of coffee. "How are you doing today? Honestly?" I offered them a genuine smile, one that actually reached my eyes. "Much better, guys. Thank you." "Good," Casey said,

Chapter 78: Warm Nights

My fingers slipped into his hair almost instinctively, threading through the soft strands as I looked down at him properly. "You look tired, Adrian," I said, leaning a bit closer. "You really should take it easy sometimes." He let out a short, dry breath that was supposed to be a laugh, but it didn't reach his eyes. "I’m not tired, Amelia." I sighed, pulling back just enough to force him to meet my gaze. I wasn't going to let him retreat behind that wall of stone tonight. "Adrian, you know it’s okay to be tired, right? You’re human. Not a machine." Before I could get another word out, he moved. He silenced me with a kiss, deep and sudden, tasting faintly of the wine he’d been sipping. It was a classic Adrian move, a beautiful distraction. I giggled against his lips and I pulled away just enough to catch my breath. "I’m serious," I insisted. He didn't stop. He buried his face in the crook of my neck, his lips grazing the sensitive skin there. "I know you are," he murmured

Chapter 79: Stirred Desires

We were getting ready for the event, the corporate gala that Friday evening. An event that would be a night of flashing cameras, high-stakes networking and professionalism. But inside Adrian's bedroom, the atmosphere was anything but professional. He was already half-dressed, looking handsome as usual even in his white dress shirt and unfastened trousers. I, on the other hand, was taking my time. I had finished my shower, my skin still warm and my hair was damp, hanging in dark waves over my shoulders. Instead of reaching for my gown, I had slipped into one of Adrian’s white button-down shirts. It was oversized, the sleeves hanging past my fingertips and the hem stopping mid-thigh. "Adrian," I called out softly. He was adjusting his cufflinks, but he paused, turning toward me. The moment his eyes landed on me, they darkened noticeably. I was watching him. Slowly, deliberately, I reached up and popped the top button of the shirt. I let the fabric flare open just enough t

Chapter 80: Claimed In The Moment

We finally got to the house. By the time Adrian pulled into the driveway, I was already throbbing with need. The second the front door clicked shut behind us, he was on me. He wrapped his hands around my waist, lifting me effortlessly. My legs wrapped around his hips instinctively as he carried me through the house, his lips crashing against mine in a fierce, hungry kiss. I moaned into it, my fingers digging into his shoulders, the taste of him, wine from the event and desire making my head spin. He backed me against the nearest wall in the hallway. His mouth never left mine as one of his hands slid down, pushing the slit of my dress aside. My hands are already yanking at his shirt, popping buttons. His fingers found me instantly, soaked through my panties. "Fuck, Amelia," he rasped against my lips. "You’re dripping already for me." I whimpered, my hips rocking against his hand as two fingers pushed inside me, curling just right. He pumped them slowly, deliberately, while h
