Noella’s POVI was still frozen in place when I realized who the person was who had thrown Darren so easily onto the street. His face looked scary, sinister, and sharp. His eyes radiated a cold aura, sending chills down my spine. My heart raced as he stood there, silent and staring at me with an intensity that scared me. "En, Enrick," I muttered in a trembling voice. "Weren't you out of town on business? Why are you back? Is your business done?" I asked him who hadn't said anything yet. "I felt uneasy about leaving you here alone. So I decided to go back and bring you. I didn't expect to see you with another man," he said flatly. "But I didn't..." I was nervous when he thought otherwise. "Don't worry, dear. I was just joking. You wait here. I'll take care of that little bitch. You just wait," Enrick said and turned to Darren. Before long, Enrick was right before Darren, who was certainly taller than Enrick. Face, body, name, and wealth, Enrick was far above Darren, and that was wh

Noella’s POVI stepped cautiously into Enrick's room, where the source of the strange noise was coming from with curiosity. But my expression changed drastically when I could see a woman who was on top of Enrick's body with provocative movements. While Enrick was lying on the bed and just staying still.I was pretty surprised to see the scene right before my eyes. Until subconsciously, my eyes widened, and my lips clenched tightly. The woman was moving with seductive movements as if she were luring Enrick with her alluring charms. Her hands were fingering every inch of Enrick's muscular body, even with his body twisting like a snake on the prowl."Enrick," I called softly.The woman heard my voice and immediately turned around. Realizing my presence, she pretended to be surprised and immediately picked up Enrick's suit lying on the floor. Then, she wore it in slow motion to cover most of her exposed body like she was deliberately provoking me with her actions. "Oh my, Mr. Enrick. We'

Noella's POVI carried the tray with lunch and medicine to Enrick's room. I wanted to make sure that Enrick got good treatment and a speedy recovery after the terrible incident a few days ago. But when I entered the room, I was surprised to see him struggling to get up. "Enrick, wait," I called out worriedly. Afraid he'd fallen. Enrick turned his head and then ignored me. He kept trying to get up with his own effort. Although with great difficulty, he was finally able to sit on the edge of the bed with his legs dangling down. Even though he wasn't sitting in the right position yet. I quickly approached him and helped Enrick to sit up properly. "Gosh, you won't listen to me, Enrick. What's so hard about waiting for me for just a moment?" I grumbled, which I couldn't hold back. I had forgotten what my status was in that house. Just a contract lover really. But instead of being upset or angry, Enrick smiled weakly. "I'm fine, Noella," he replied in a calm voice. "I just want to try t

Noella’s POVTwo days later, I walked to Enrick's room, to check on him. But when I opened the door, the room was empty. The bed was made, a sign that he hadn't left his room long ago. I sighed, trying to guess where he was. Suddenly, I thought of his workplace. With quick steps, I made my way to Enrick's study which was not far from his room. The reading room that she had transformed into a workspace. Upon opening the door, I was immediately greeted by an elegant and calm atmosphere. The room was dominated by shades of beige and ivory white, giving off a warm and clean impression. The walls were decorated with several abstract paintings that gave it an artistic touch, while bookshelves full of thick books lined up neatly along the walls. Enrick sat behind his large, elegant desk made of dark wood that contrasted with the ambience of the room. He looked very serious, staring intensely at his computer screen. The desk was full of files."No wonder I saw Calend earlier. She brought wo

Darren’s POVLate at night, my mother and I arrived at the event that was taking place in a luxurious ballroom in the city center. As soon as we entered the room, I was stunned for a moment. This ballroom was truly magnificent. The high ceilings were adorned with giant sparkling crystal chandeliers, emitting a warm glow that created an elegant atmosphere. The walls were upholstered in a soft gold-colored silk fabric, giving it an undeniably luxurious feel.In the center of the room, round tables upholstered in crisp white cloth were neatly arranged, each decorated with fresh flowers in crystal vases. On each table, there were fine china plates, shiny wine glasses, and perfectly arranged silverware. A small stage was located at the end of the room, where a group of musicians played soft, soothing jazz music. Neatly dressed waiters in black and white uniforms moved deftly among the guests, offering various drinks served in elegant glasses. I saw a variety of colorful drinks, ranging fr
