Leah's POVOne of the 50 bedrooms in the lake house was changed into a treatment room, where Dr. Monk kept all of his expensive medical equipment.The door had been shut for the past 2 hours.I put down the third cup of coffee on the table and asked the maid to bring me the fourth one. She looked hesitant."Miss Lewyn, can I bring you some lemonade instead?" she whispered.I stared at her. My brain wasn't functioning af
Leah's POV"Are you sure about it, Leah?" Jalin asked."Yeah..." I nodded my head, feeling exhausted.Jalin said quietly next to me. His gaze fixed on the wall, contemplating, as if he had just stumbled upon a secret that had eluded him for a long time. I could tell his mind was racing with the implications of what I just told him."Jalin... What's going on?" I lifted my head to look at him.His chiseled jawline blocked
Leah's POVI turned around to face him, and I could see the pain in his eyes.I couldn't take it anymore."Finn, don't do this to me," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I don't know who you are. I don't know what has happened to you. I don't know who has sent you to me. But one thing I do know is that I will never ever hurt you.""I know, Leah," Finn said in a quiet voice."But I can't trust you if you don't tell
Leah's POVAs I woke up, I couldn't find Finn anywhere around me.I rubbed my eyes, put on some clothes, and walked out of the warehouse.As the sun began its slow descent behind the distant mountains, the shimmering waters of the lake seemed to come alive with a brilliant golden light.The ripples on the surface danced in a gentle, rhythmic motion, reflecting the vibrant hues of the surrounding flora.The air was fille
Leah's POVA few weeks passed and everything went surprisingly smoothly.With Gean and Laura's support, supervised by Jalin, of course, the preparation of bidding for Mediland Project took place without any obstacles.Lucas went out for a business trip and he took Darren away from me. Darren was away for inspection in Mediland, so finally I was able to enjoy some quiet moments in my life.Everything went well until one day, after the morning briefing, Gean deliberately slowed down the process of tidyi
Leah's POV Just when I was trying so hard to process this, my phone buzzed. An unknown number. Feeling disturbed, I picked up my phone. "Hey, Leah! It's Damian! Do you remember me? I'm the delivery guy from Mediland!" "Oh, yes. Sure. Damian! I haven't heard from you for a long time. Is everything OK with you?" Damian's voice sounded full of energy, "Yeah! Uma finally agrees to give me some days off, and I'm in town now! I don't know anyone in Skagen City, so I thought to myself, why not give you a call and ask you out for dinner?" I hesitated and said, "Listen, Damian, I really want to go out with you tonight. It's just I've been caught up with something and I really can't.." "Oh, OK. I totally understand." Damian's voice sounded disappointed. He wasn't the kind of person who was able to conceal his true feelings. "It's OK. I feel ashamed for calling you. What's on my mind? Calling you just like this. I'm so sorry. I'm hanging up right now..." "No... No! Damian! Don't hang up!
Leah's POV Damian stood tall. His posture was strong and confident. As we hit the dance floor, he took a step forward, extending his arm towards me. I stood before him with my eyes fixed on his. I was wearing a flowing red dress that accentuates the curves of my body. I had never thought that I would wear this dress while dancing tango in front of a hundred people with a man that I barely knew. My hair was styled elegantly, pinned up to reveal my slender neck. "I love your hair, Leah. All you need to do is to relax and go with the flow," Damian lowered his head and whispered into my ear. I took a deep breath and placed my hand on his outstretched arm with my fingers lightly brushing against his skin. As the music intensified, Damian began to lead me in a series of intricate steps. He moved with precision and grace with his feet gliding across the floor as if in a trance. I had no other option but to follow his lead. To my surprise, my body was perfectly in sync with his. That
Leah's POV "No, Damian, please listen to me..." I whispered. Damian didn't say anything. He pushed Lucas away and walked out of the restaurant with everyone staring at him. Feeling desperate, I gave Lucas a dark look and chased Damian out of the restaurant. "Damian, please stop and listen to me!" I tried to pull Damian's arm and stop him, but he threw my hand away. "Don't touch me, Leah! I know a rich girl like you would never be the right match for a poor boy like me. Go back to your husband, Leah. And do me a favor. Do not say yes to a man next time they ask you out for dinner if you're married! It makes me look ridiculous! Shame on you!" Damian barked at me. Feeling heartbroken, I lowered my head. Tears of shame dropped from my eyes. People passing by stopped to look at us. I had never been openly accused like this. How am I going to explain to Damian that I got rejected by an asshole who ignored me for five years and now he came back to me, trying to drag me down and spoil e
