My heart belongs to you alone.
With a satisfied grin, Nathan encircled her waist with his arms and playfully tossed her onto the bed. Were on our honeymoon. How could you utter such painful words earlier? You deserve to be punished.
Lucinda kised his chin and remarked, Its my mistake. How would you like to penalize me?
He gave her waist a playful squeeze and, in a husky voice, declared, You know exactly what I desire. I want you!
While he talked, he leaned in and kised her with a powerful display of ownership.
The sun had vanished entirely, leaving the city cloaked in darkness.
The presidential suite remained shrouded in darkness.
The romantic atmosphere remained concealed within the soft obscurity.
Lucinda didnt resist, assuming hed be content after their initial intimacy.
Little did she know, this was just the starting point.
The night stretched on, but it was truly delightful.

Due to the time zone difference, it was daytime in Cadiered.
Cyrus, concerned about Noelle, arrived to oversee the filming of her first soap opera following her recovery.
The role didnt demand stellar performances from the actors and actresses, but Noelles acting still fell below the directors minimum expectations.
Her memory disorder had caused her to forget how to perform on the camera. In front of it, she was like a beginner once again.
With Cyrus present, the director refrained from scolding her and instead patiently took on the role of teaching her how to act.
Anxiety gripped Noelle so tightly that her dress bore the brunt of her clenched fists, and self-disappointment clouded her eyes.
Seeing the exhaustion on her face, Cyrus halted the shoot and had her sit before him. He delicately dabbed the sweat from her forehead with a damp tissue.
Thank you, Mr. Simmons. I can manage.
She maintained a polite and reserved demeanor around him.
Despite his inner pain, he offered her the tissue.
Youve been at it for hours. How does it feel? Do you think youve gotten into the character?
Noelle sighed, doubt evident as she shook her head. Did I Did I win an acting award?
Indeed, your golden award sits in my villa. Youve laid eyes on it.
A medley of emotions played across her expression.

Really? Doubt clouded her eyes. Will I recover?

Cyrus gave her arm a reassuring pat. Even if you cant recall anything, its alright. Youll forever be my fiance, and Ill only marry you. Whether or not you remember me doesnt matter. What I truly wish for is that youll stop pushing me away, avoiding me, and preventing me from getting close to you. Give me a chance. Lets start anew.
Noelle lowered her head and remained lost in thought for quite some time. Eventually, she gave a slow, absent-minded nod as if she hadnt fully grasped what he had said.
Well It looks like I dont possess any acting talent. I felt utterly adrift in front of the camera. Perhaps losing the memories of the past four years is also an opportunity for me to begin anew. I could embrace a different way of life, dont you think?
Cyrus fought back his fear, his fingers trembling slightly, as he inquired, What kind of changes are you planning to make?
Was she uncertain about whether she wanted to be with him or not?
Did she not wish to be his fiance?
Would she still be open to marrying him down the road?
With teary eyes, he anxiously gripped his hands, waiting for her response.
