As the warm rays of sunlight gently touched my face through the wide glass window, I woke up from my hazy slumber. Despite struggling to open my eyes completely, my heart raced with a strange energy, and my mind felt surprisingly clear, almost as if I had received a sudden rush of adrenaline. Gradually, my breathing steadied as I tried to adjust to the dark and quiet morning.Eventually, I dragged myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I was shocked to see the evidence of my tears that kept overflowing throughout the night. My skin didn't look any different, and yet, I felt a deep emotional pain that seemed to stab at my very being.I knew that Aaron's profound disappointment had caused me a lot of distress. It was strange because I had never wished him any harm, and I had always held him in high regard. Even though I tried to convince myself that it was a misunderstanding, I knew it would take a long time before he could accept my explanation.Amidst this confusion, I couldn't help but think about the mysterious person who had given me a package containing sensitive corporate information. Why did they choose me? What was their motive? All of these questions lingered in my mind, as I tried to make sense of the situation in a compassionate and understanding manner. I don't  know what kind of connection he shares with Aaron? I have a lot of questions on my mind right now. I have no idea what to do, how to gain his trust, or if we could ever live like a normal couple. I don't think he likes me very much, but I won't give up on him just yet. I'll do everything I can to win him over and see the real Aaron, who I'm sure is not the jerk he portrays himself to be.My grandma used to pack my granddad's lunch when he went to work, and even though we're not wealthy, we always made sure he had food to take with him. I don't know if Aaron will appreciate a homemade lunch or not, but I'll make one for him because it's important to me. After all, I'm his wife, and I want to be the best spouse I can be for him until our contract ends. After that, I quickly head to the bathroom after getting out of the shower.

I'm wearing a beautiful sleeveless red Maxi slip dress and my long, earthy hair is flowing free. I head over to Amy's kitchen, where she is preparing some delicious pancakes."Hey, sweetie, how was your night?" she asks with a warm smile."Not too bad," I reply, slumping down in my seat, still thinking about the argument I had with my partner the night before.As I twist my wedding ring nervously, I ask, "Hey Amy, did Aaron remember to bring his lunch to work today?""No, he didn't," she answers."I'll make sure to pack it for him from now on. I'll even make him some snacks to take with him," I say with surprise.A grin spreads across her face as she responds, "Really? That would be amazing!"


"Wow, you've heard about Forever! Aaron is one lucky man to have you as his wife. I've known him since we were teenagers. Sadly, his parents passed away when he was only 11 years old, and after their deaths, he became emotionally numb. But he inherited his father's business, Knight's Realm, and with hard work, turned it into one of America's largest global companies.As we were talking, she walked to the other side of the room, and I realized that this is probably why he was so upset about the recent paper scandal. His anger was genuine."I should make him some lunch," I said to my friend Amy as I grabbed a knife and started chopping."No, no, dear," Amy replied, concerned. "You don't need to worry about that. We have other staff to take care of that. Let them handle it.""Don't you think it's a wife's responsibility to take care of her husband?" I asked, giving her a gentle smile."Of course, you can fix him some lunch. He's quite lucky to have a wife like you. I know you're the only one who can bring back the real Aaron who went missing," she replied, beaming with joy.I expressed my gratitude to her and immediately began preparing Aaron's lunch. As I completed my tasks in the kitchen, I walked into the living room and my attention was caught by my husband, who looked charming in his exquisite Armani suit.He had finished his breakfast and was ready to head off to work for the day. However, before he could go, I approached him and gently held his hand to stop him.As he looked at me, I felt a wave of empathy and understanding for him."I've packed your lunch," I said softly, looking at him through my lashes.But he replied, "I don't need it," and put the lunch pack away.I pleaded with him kindly, "Please accept it, you might need it later in the day," sensing the importance of a nutritious meal for him amidst his busy schedule.As he gave me a serious look, his eyes, which were like precious stones and were the color of the sea, shined with a hidden emotion that he briskly tried to wipe away. It was only then that I noticed that his tie was not properly done. Without hesitation, I fixed it for him, all the while feeling his unwavering gaze on me. I gently cycled my lower lip and suddenly, a rush of cold spread throughout my body."Done," I said softly as I finished tying his tie, my gaze still fixed on him. I could feel his emotions radiating off of him, and I empathized with him deeply.As I stepped back, I couldn't bring myself to look him in the eyes, feeling a surge of warmth spreading through my body. I could sense the weight of his emotions and knew that he needed someone to understand him. My heart raced as I felt a connection with him, and I knew that we had some unspoken bond between us.As he turned to take his leave, my heart sank a little. But to my surprise, he grabbed the lunch sack I had packed for him before departing. My cheeks flushed with excitement, but I kept my cool and smiled shyly. I didn't want him to see me blushing like a teenager.As he sauntered towards his car, I noticed a hideous scratch on the steps. I mean, come on, can't he keep track of his own belongings? I quickly grabbed the document and scurried out of the house.His driver, Chaflaur, was already holding the door for him like a royal flunky as he took his seat in the car. "Aaron!" I hollered as I ran towards him, hoping to catch his attention. He looked confused as hell, clearly not expecting me to chase him down."I reminded him gently as I handed over the papers, biting my lip nervously.He took them with a quiet 'thank you', meeting my eyes briefly.I wondered if he actually thanked me or if I was imagining things. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but smile and tuck a strand of hair behind my ear."Of course, no worries," I replied softly, glancing around and feeling my heart race.He looked back at me before heading towards his car.I walked into the living room humming my favorite tune and feeling happy. He thanked me, and I giggled while covering my face with my hands, thinking to myself, 'We're finally getting to know each other a little better'."As I ambled towards the garden of the Mansion, I was hoping for some fresh air to help me relax and unwind.As I caught a glimpse of the magnificent garden, my breath was taken away by its sheer beauty.Even in the rain, the garden seemed to shimmer and shine a little brighter.It felt like the universe was cleansing our surroundings with some magical liquid, revealing the raw and untouched beauty of nature.The buttercups looked like they were made of pure gold, the grass resembled a soft blanket, and the trees looked like they were rejuvenated as the rainwater silently quenched their thirst.As I listened to the sweet sound of chirping birds, my heart fluttered with excitement at the sight of such awe-inspiring beauty.As I gazed at the beautiful blossoms, a thought popped into my head - "Wow, these are incredible!"The sweet aroma of the lilies filled the room, and their white petals stood out brilliantly against the stone walls. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that their stamens had been removed. As I reached out to touch the silvery petals, I realized that there were more than just lilies present.The vibrant red velvet blossoms swayed and swirled, their intoxicating scent urging me to stay a while. Their delicate green stems peeked out from the grass, but their bright petals stole the show.As I sat down on the fresh green grass, I was encompassed by an array of delightful fragrances. It was like a garden paradise!Aaron's house boasted an incredible and breathtaking garden, and I couldn't help but feel in awe.While I was helping Aaron with his tie earlier, he caught my eye and we shared a friendly smile.

Can you believe it? My heart started racing and my cheeks turned pink when Aaron acknowledged the lunchbox I made for him. I never felt this way when I was with Eliot. I don't even know why the mere thought of Aaron makes me blush, but I can't help but smile when I think of him. Haha, what is happening to me? By the way, I'm currently enjoying the beautiful blue sky.
