Sona‘s POV:
When I woke up, I found myself in a room I had never seen before.The wet clothes had been changed
while I was unconscious and I was covered with two thick quilts.
Warmth engulfed every part of my body and I was hard–pressed to leave this place.
But I had no idea where I was, so I had decided to at least get up and investigate my surrounding.I
struggled to divest myself of the quilts and then my way out of the bed.
The wall of this room was covered with my posters, and my photo was also placed on the table.I even
found some scripts of the TV series I acted in a pile of books.Curious, I opened one of the scripts.
The more I read, the more surprised I felt.
There were lots of notes on it, and the handwriting was very neat and beautiful.
Someone wrote down his or her own interpretation of each line.
It was more detailed than what I had done.I suddenly remembered the blurry figure I saw before I
passed out.
A man had rushed over and caught me before I fell to the ground.
The heat of the man‘s body enveloped me tightly.
It was almost as if the man was trying to use his embrace to chase away the cold.
The thought had my heart skipping a beat and I flushed.
What I should be doing was figuring out where I was and how I ended up here and not dreaming up
strange thoughts.
With that bolstering thought, I put the script back in its original place and walked towards the door.
Just as I reached the door, I heard someone‘s voice on the other side.
The voices belonged to a man and a woman and it sounded like they were in the middle of an
argument.
"I really like you and I don‘t want to give up on you. Please give me a chance." The woman spoke softly
and her plea held a touch of sadness.
"Sorry, but I already have someone I like."
Leaning against the door, I couldn‘t help the angry pursing of my lips.
This man was too ruthless.
The idea that such a callous man could be my fan filled me with disgust. Probably letting the callous
words slide, the woman tried to reason with him again.
"William, what did I do wrong? Why won‘t you accept me?"
William? My shock, propelled me into opening the door before I fully thought the idea through.
Just as I suspected, William Stevens was standing outside the door.
A woman stood in front of him, her big doe eyes wide with tears of resentment, I was so stunned that I
didn‘t know how to react for a moment, William grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms.
Even though there was a layer of cloth between us, I could clearly hear his strong heartbeat and feel
his body heat.
Blushing, I swallowed nervously as I looked up at him.
"Mia, this is my fiancee, Sofia Byrne.She is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I hope
you won‘t pester me anymore."
Flushing once again, this time with embarrassment, I struggled to escape from his arms but he only
tightened his arms around me.Why won‘t you accept me?
William My shock propelled me into opening the door before I fully thought the idea through. Just as I

Flushing once again, this time with embarrassment, I struggled to escape from his arms but he only
tightened his arms around me.
"I don‘t believe it! William, I know you‘re only saying this because you are angry with me.But I won‘t
falter.I know that soon, our relationship will be back to normal." The woman named Mia roared as she
shook her head.
Turning his back on her, William suddenly pressed me against the door.
Before I could react, his lips covered mine in a warm kiss.
All at once, the only thing I became aware of was his scent.
My heart started beating wildly as I stared up into the face that had suddenly become my entire world.
Holding my face reverently, William licked at my lips with the tip of his tongue..
This kiss was so gentle and sweet that I couldn‘t help but fall into it.
"You! How can you do this to me?"
Tears streamed down Mia‘s face, and her voice choked with sobs.
The sound of her anguish brought me back to reality and I placed my hands on William‘s chest and
tried to push him away But William held fast.
Rather than relinquish his hold on me, he gripped my chin to better angle for his kiss.He pried my lips
apart with the tip of his tongue until I gave in and his tongue was in my mouth.He clutched me tighter
as he deepened the kiss.
"Sofia, you just wait and see what I‘ll do! You think you can just snatch my William from me? I won‘t let
you succeed in your evil schemes!"
Mia roared furiously, her angry words bouncing off the walls.
It was impossible for me to see Mia because of William‘s body looming over me, but I heard as her
angry footsteps receded from the hallway.
When the furious marching had ended and the hallway was silent once more, I bit down on William‘s lip
savagely.
He grunted in pain and let go of me.
"She‘s gone.It‘s time to end your play." I stared at him coldly.
"I am not acting.I really wanted to kiss you,"William explained softly.
"Do you think you can kiss me at will? Who do you think I am?" I snapped at him, anger running
through my veins.
"Sofia, I meant every word I said just now.I hope you will consider my proposition and give me a
chance." William leaned over me, his hands on the door effectively caging me between his body and
the door.
When he stared down at me, the tenderness he felt was on display.I felt like an organism beneath a
microscope.
Except he was the microscope and the only thing he saw was me.I could only blink dazedly as I stared
at him, uncertain of what my next action should be.
It was several minutes later before I was finally able to find my voice.
"William, you don‘t have to be with me just because you want to prove that you are now responsible."
A snort was William‘s immediate reply to my words.
His eyes flashed and a small self–deprecating smile graced his face.
"Sofia, I have never been the type to sacrifice myself just for the sake of responsibility. When I said I
want to be with you, I truly meant it."
"But we have only met a few times.You don‘t know me at all."
Sniffing delicately, I brushed his words aside and reminded him why this could not work.
"Sofia, who says I don‘t know you? I haven‘t come to see you in the past few days because I‘ve been
taking that time to learn everything I can about you," William said seriously.
My brows rose in surprise.
"Did you collect all the things in that room?"
"Of course."
William nodded proudly.
This gesture, more than his words moved me.I stood there silently, battling a lump in my throat as I
tried to fight back tears.
"William, why did you do that?" I still couldn‘t believe it.
With William‘s reputation and his family background, he could have any woman of his choice.
So why was he doing this for me? Was it because of the baby? I was not sure.
"At first, I just wanted my child to have a complete family, but now I‘m really obsessed with you.Sofia, I
really do like you.Do you think you can give our relationship a chance?"
William‘s eyes lit up with a hopeful smile.My eyes widened in disbelief.He just said he liked me.
How could that be possible? How could a charming and well to do man with his status have a crush on
me? I was just an ordinary woman who earned a living in the entertainment industry.
"We don‘t have to rush into marriage.If you prefer that we date for a while before getting married, that is
fine by me.Or we can get married right now and then date after marriage.Whichever way you like.Any
choice you makes is fine by me.All I really want is that you consider my offer."
"Do you still like Caroline?" I asked hesitantly.
William‘s answer bore no such trace of hesitation.
"That‘s all in the past.Now I just want to take good care of you and the baby.Sofia, I will be a good
husband and a good father.Please let me prove it to you, okay?" William asked softly.
His eyes seemed to be able to bewitch people.I almost accepted his proposal at once.
But something held my tongue, though I wasn‘t sure what.
In the end, all I told him was, "I can‘t agree to be with you right now, but I can give you a chance to
prove yourself."
"That‘s great! You don‘t have to worry about a thing.I won‘t let you down, I promise."
William‘s eyes lit up brightly, his joy impossible to contain.
It was also infectious because I found myself smiling back at him.
Simon‘s POV:
Vanessa and I had just finished a round of game when I took the opportunity to pick up my phone and
check my messages.
When I saw an invitation from Edward, I shot to my feet in excitement.
"What‘s wrong?"
Vanessa asked, her confused stare following my every move.
"Edward is going to hold a dessert tasting party for Caroline.He invited me to it," I replied with a smile.
Since the birthday party, my relationship with Caroline had become more and more alienated.
It was obvious that Caroline was deliberately distancing herself from me.
But I didn‘t want to give up on her, nor did I want to admit defeat.
"Simon, are you always going to accept everything Caroline does to you even if it‘s not pleasant?
Because from my point of view as a bystander, it‘s obvious she doesn‘t like you at all.If you continue
like this, you will only get more hurt,"
Vanessa admonished softly, trying to persuade me.
"I don‘t think I‘m worse than Charles, Caroline will know that I am the one for her one day," I said firmly.
"I can‘t understand you, but I can introduce a dessert master to you. I hope Caroline can see your
efforts."
Vanessa sighed helplessly.
“Thank you, Vanessa."
