Dallas Pov"Mr. Dallas... can you cook?" Emi asked me hesitantly, looking at me in disbelief as I began to process the potatoes into mashed potatoes and prepare the seasoning from the other ingredients available.I just nodded with a smile. I intended to serve my cooking to Arabella in a unique way as an apology for what my sister had to endure due to my one-sided judgment. She always liked the potato preparations I made and was more cheerful when eating them after they were freshly made.Emi prepared breakfast beside me, not asking any more questions, though still paying attention to the food I prepared. She seemed to be serving steak. "Can I have the meat?""You may, sir. I bought this to be eaten by ladies and gentlemen." Emi explained without being asked. I thanked her and accepted one piece of meat to prepare as the main meal. "If I may know, did you cook for Miss Emma?"I blinked quickly, somewhat surprised to hear that question from Emi. "No, no. I made this breakfast for my si
Dallas’ PovEmma seemed to be running up the stairs. I realised that the door to Arabella's room was now wide open and revealed the chaos inside, as well as all the commotion that had probably been heard downstairs earlier. She was still looking at us, but no one answered her questions.The woman was already visibly annoyed. "Hey, I asked you guys a question."I didn't care, turning my gaze to Sean, who had woken up and taken a safe position, then seemed intent on grabbing Arabella's outstretched hand from the other side. I quickly pulled my sister from the man's reach, mediating between them and glaring at him. "What do you want? I'm not done dealing with you, asshole.""Dallas, calm down." Sean was still trying to calm me down. His innocent face made my blood boil. After all the things he might have done to Arabella, the man still felt no guilt.I would not spare him. I promised, holding Arabella's wrist tighter and pushing her body to the ground. She clung to the wall to hold herse
Arabella’s POVI stayed in my room with one hand on my cell phone, unsure if I could contact Sean after Dallas forced me to come home. Even though he'd asked me to come back here too, I'd started to miss him after two days. I realised that the days when I'd always see him on my way to and from work were over."Is my relationship with Sean going to end here?" I asked myself sadly, never knowing my relationship with him would last this long. "If we're apart like this, can we still be called lovers?"Although Sean hadn't broken off our relationship at that point, I couldn't imagine that our relationship, which had always been within each other's reach, would survive long distance. Wanda ended her relationship with her boyfriend when he had to study in another country."He said he would call me every day when he was there, but in reality, I was the one who always called first when I had been waiting for him for a week. His answers were concise, and he always rejected my calls when I told
Pov ArabellaI stared blankly at the ceiling of my room for a while, feeling powerless and unable to do anything after my fight with Dallas. That selfish man took my cell phone before walking out of my room, as well as my laptop, so I had no access to contact anyone and seek entertainment like the first two days I arrived.Two days after our argument, I finally settled into my room after getting water from the kitchen. I shut myself in and didn't answer Dallas' calls from outside the room, be it gently or with a yell, because he couldn't stand my attitude."I miss you... Sean..." I mumbled, feeling sad even though only a few days had passed after I was forced to go to this house with Dallas. I did nothing else in the room except stare blankly and occasionally look out of the room, seeing Dallas going to and from work like a normal day.I suddenly woke up after thinking about my balcony. "Can I escape from there?" I mumbled uncertainly but quickly moved to open the glass door.It was s
Sean's POVI already knew that Dallas would be this angry if he learned about my relationship with Arabella, but I was careless about letting him find out for catching us red-handed. I looked over at Arabella, who was helping me up. She looked worried and was on the verge of tears when she saw my state."Are you okay, Sean? No... this must have hurt a lot, right?" Arabella touched the side of my face gently. "I'm sorry, you've become like this because of Dallas."I remained silent, staring at Arabella's reddened wrist after Dallas had held her hand since we were caught to separate us. She still couldn't control her anger and actions and didn't realize she had hurt the sister she had protected all this time. I could only be relieved that Arabella didn't have any other wounds on her body."I'm fine, it doesn't hurt. I've even imagined something worse when it comes to Dallas." I calmed Arabella down, touching her hand to clasp the hand that fit perfectly into my palm.Arabella's tears fi
Sean's POVI was just about to calm Emi down, but the middle-aged woman had already started talking again. She looked at me sternly as if I shouldn't interrupt her."You realize you haven't left your room for two days. I'm grateful you're still receiving sunlight from the window, but you still need to get out of your room and tidy up for your good. I am sad to see you like this, sir."I didn't respond to Emi's thoughtful words, smiling faintly because I couldn't deny the middle-aged woman's words. I didn't have the spirit to do anything other than think about the company, especially Arabella, who hadn't given any news until now."Look into this glass, sir," Emi spoke again, directing my gaze at the mirror that was displayed and could still be seen from the corner of my bed. "You look very messy right now. From your greasy hair to the clothes you haven't cleaned since a few days ago, do you feel comfortable moving around in such a state? Even if you don't have body odor, you still have
Emma’s PovI sobbed in my room, still remembering Sean's frightened expression that he had directed at me. I couldn't accept the fact that he kicked me out of his house after admitting that he didn't have any feelings for me, completely ignoring my attempts to declare my love back. "He must have done that because he just wanted to remove me from his house."Sean hadn't come out of his room for two days. Only Emi had come in and out of his room carrying a tray of food and drinks, completely ignoring my existence. I wasn't even provided with proper food except for pieces of bread and jam after the two sisters left."How can I spend my vacation in a house with servants like this." I sneered resentfully, remembering Emi, who immediately avoided me when we were in the same room. I thought she would change after that bitch left, but her actions got even worse."I'll go as you wish, Sean, but I'll still be around you. You'll see." I quickly put all my belongings in my suitcase and opened my
Emma's POVI saw that Sean and the woman hadn't moved after a while. There were a lot of people there so I decided to step out of the cafe and keep a closer eye on them, hiding among the crowd. The next thing I knew, the woman took Sean's arm, and they started walking away."Where are they going?" I muttered to myself, shifting my position slowly so as not to be spotted and trying not to look suspicious. I was still watching them chatting even as they walked, especially the woman who was smiling brightly. "That woman seems to be close to Sean."I became more curious about their relationship to be that close and the incident that made them meet in broad daylight like this. Other than me, I realised several people were talking about Sean and that woman. Elle. I'm sure that's the woman's name."Again, Miss Elle is together with Mr. Sean. Their relationship seems to be good." I heard one of the people there speak.The person she was with nodded. "They look too perfect. Do they want to mak
