Sean's POVArabella and I walked out of the house, feeling the sunshine and tranquility of the morning that we didn't usually encounter on our way to work. She took my hand, strolling down the front of the beautiful yard with some flower bushes and ornamental plants.I wasn't someone who liked plants personally, but thanks to Emi's suggestion a few years ago, I could now see Arabella's smile when she touched one of the flowers that had recently bloomed. She looked amazed and didn't stop cooing happily"Look, Sean. This flower is beautiful." Arabella said, pointing out a thousand-finger-sized flower with white petals.I felt that Arabella was much prettier, but I only nodded in agreement, so she returned her gaze to the flower. Complimenting every flower she touched and smelling to see if there was any natural fragrance to them.I smiled, feeling happy just looking at her smile all morning. She looked at some of the other plants as we walked, taking pictures of the ones she thought wer

Arabella's POV"Wait a minute, Sean!" I returned his call and opened my closet to grab a swimsuit.I quickly went downstairs, heading towards the pool with excited steps. Sean was already waiting for me by the pool, making me smile and walk over to him. "Morning, Sean.""Afternoon, Bella," Sean replied, smiling guiltlessly because I woke up later than him. I pouted but then chuckled to see him doing a little attraction on the pool's surface.He unknowingly diverted his attraction by splashing the pool water on me, who was still standing on the edge. Still, I immediately replied to him by moving my feet and making him exclaim in surprise, pretending to be annoyed."You still wake up early even though it's a holiday, Sean," I spoke, stopping my antics and sitting on the pool's edge to familiarize myself with the water, which felt quite cold.Sean swam over to me. I could feel his breath on my thigh due to our closeness. "I'm used to it. It's hard to stay asleep when you open your eyes i

Arabella's POV"You'll see, Bella." He whispered when we were in the elevator.Despite his confusion, I returned Sean's beaming smile, but I didn't question him anymore, so I followed him to the car. He drove the car quickly, passing through the city center until it arrived at a magnificent restaurant in front of us.A parking vet took Sean's place, and we quickly walked into the restaurant, which was dominated by ivory, white, and gold. I widened my eyes when I saw several diners in fancy clothes queuing to get inside.I checked my own clothes, which didn't seem to match the atmosphere of the restaurant we were visiting. "Is it okay if I wear work clothes here?" I asked, standing on tiptoe so I could whisper to Sean."It's fine. You look beautiful as always, Bella." Sean complimented me, which made me blush.The queue got shorter and shorter until it was my turn and Sean's. A staff member checked Sean's order code after he answered her question. He called out to a waiter who would se

Sean's POVI got off the elevator when I arrived at the office floor of the accounting division where Arabella worked. The atmosphere outside the room was still quiet as many employees were seriously working, including that woman.I found Arabella sitting between the two employees I recognised as her closest coworkers. Her gaze looked severe, so I didn't go into the room to call her like a few days ago."You don't want to go inside, sir?" Sarah asks.She looked confused as I was standing behind the room's glass door and was noticed by several employees who had already seen my presence, except for Arabella and her two friends.I shook my head, not taking my eyes off Arabella, who was frowning and reading through the printed document, checking the parts that seemed to need revision. "No, I don't. I'll stay here."Arabella had earlier asked me not to move her to another position. My lover said that she understood her job well and that the replacement for the woman who had been her evil b

Arabella's POVI was completely taken aback when I saw that the person calling us from the car was Dallas. The man seemed excited, but I turned to look at Sean to see if he was aware of my brother's arrival.I'd never heard that he was coming to town."Did you know he was coming here?" I asked, instantly checking the truth of the man's words from the expression on his face.Sean shook his head, looking as clueless as I was. "He didn't say anything to me yesterday or this morning." He quickly clarified. "We did talk about our wedding a few days ago, but he asked us to come, not the other way around."I was about to say something else to Sean, but I could hear the sound of a car door opening and then closing quite loudly and approaching footsteps. I turned my head to see Dallas sliding his glasses down the centre of the collar of his T-shirt and putting his hands in his pockets as he stared at us."I'm here because that boyfriend of yours said he was going to marry you, Bella," Dallas s
