“I want a woman who can stand by my side. When I succeed, she’ll share in the glory. If I fail, she’ll have the strength to stand tall and rise with me.”

His gaze never wavered from Corrine, filled with a quiet but unwavering determination. He understood her dreams, her ambitions.

Someone as radiant and magnificent as Corrine shouldn’t be hidden away in some ordinary corner—she deserved to shine in the spotlight, the center of everyone’s gaze. His dark eyes burned with an intense, almost possessive desire to claim her, and his words were wrapped in unshakable conviction.

“Corrine, with me, you’ll have the freedom to grow. No more worrying about what others think, no more fearing consequences. Just live for yourself, according to your own heart.”

“Live for yourself, according to your own heart…” Corrine repeated his words in her mind. Those words, when Nate spoke them, seemed to hum with a quiet yet powerful magic, as though the very air around them shifted. Each word landed on her heart with a gentle but undeniable force. Her blood, once still and stagnant, began to surge again, her heart thundering in her chest.

Corrine’s throat went dry as she held his gaze, her mind swirling. Her life, once so barren and lonely, now seemed filled with rich, vibrant hues—colors she never thought she could experience, all because of his presence. A slow, tender smile tugged at the corners of her moist, red lips, her expression lighting up like the sun breaking through a cloudy sky.

“It’s a coincidence. Our thoughts align so perfectly.”

“To be precise, we’re destined for each other,” Nate replied, his voice low and filled with meaning.

They exchanged a smile, their eyes locking, reflecting a universe of unspoken understanding. In that moment, words were unnecessary—they both felt it. The connection. The certainty.

After they finished their meal, Nate dropped Corrine off at her company. She opened the car door and stepped out, but as she glanced back, she saw the car still parked behind her. Taking a deep breath, she returned to him.

“What—”

Before Nate could finish his sentence, Corrine’s lips found his, silencing him completely.

Matias, seated in the driver’s seat, averted his gaze from the unexpected display of affection before him. Following his instinct for discretion, he quietly closed his eyes.

Though Corrine had always carried herself with careful restraint, an overwhelming urge to kiss Nate had coursed through her veins at that moment. Without hesitation, she had surrendered to her heart’s desire.

The remnants of her lipstick now adorned his lips, adding an unexpected touch of warmth to his typically aloof features.

Nate’s eyes held Corrine’s gaze, brimming with unspoken emotion. Her lips curved into a gentle smile as she looked at him, her eyes shimmering with newfound confidence.

“Nate, thank you for standing beside me during my darkest hours.”

The words of gratitude had lingered in her heart for a long time, though she remained uncertain of his thoughts at that precious moment.

“Every time before, you watched me walk away. Today, let me be the one to see you off,” she murmured, her eyes never leaving his face.

Nate’s eyebrow arched slightly as his fingertips traced the corner of his mouth, savoring the lingering sensation of their kiss.

“Are you finding it difficult to bid me farewell?”
