Yve woke up with a severe headache. She tried to turn around but noticed she can't as there seemed to be something heavy on top of her. As she looked down she saw and arm and tracing it to the source, she saw Vince's sleeping face. Then memories of last night came flashing on her mind. Yve moved her body a little bit so that she can look at Vince properly.
'He looks very peaceful when he sleeps. Furthermore, heavens really took their time to perfect his face. However, the dark circles under his eyes didn't escape her eyes.
"You should rest well at night. These dark circles ruin your handsome face." Yve confidently say knowing that Vince is still asleep.
Suddenly,

"Ahh!" Yve was flipped around and now her back was on the bed as Vince's body was on top of hers.
"So you think that I'm handsome?" Vince whispered in her ear. His voice is horse with a hint of seduction.
"Can't you stop seducing me so early in the morning?"
"So this can seduce you, too? Duly noted my dear Queen."
"How did you know what I was thinking?" Yve exclaimed but covered her mouth immediately realizing how vulgar her words were.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA. You said your thoughts out loud." Vince said and laughed out loud.
As his laugh echoed in in the room, Yve relaxes and makes her forget the sadness she experienced last night and the confrontation she'a about to face today. Vince saw how calm Yve looks right now while he was trying his best to control his little soldier. As he was about to lose his mind, he kissed Yve on the forehead and said,
"Good morning!"
Without waiting for Yve's response, Vince sat on the edge of the bed but as he turned around, Yve's face was just inches away from his face. Yve brushed her lips on Vince's. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery and passionate. She pulled away immediately as she smiled at Vince before saying,
"Good morning, my dear King!"
Her smile was enough to make Vince's mind forget their current battle and for his heart to flutter. Vince clasp his hands on either side of Yve's face and gave Yve his own version. He kissed her and Yve's worries were being washed away. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested below her ear, his thumb caressing her cheek as their breaths mingled. Yve put her hands around Vince's neck urging him to continue and Vince didn't fail her. She then ran her fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them and she could feel the beating of his heart against her chest.
Vince slowly pushed her as they both gasped for air. Yve took the initiative once again and pushed herself to Yve for an embrace. Vince hugged her back hoping that this will ease her and will make her safe.
'Only he can calm me down. His presence around me makes me feel that I can do anything, that everything will eventually fall in their respective places'. Yve thought.
One of his hands traced Yve's hair and made small curls while the other continues to caress her back and when he realized that Yve's breathing has stabilized he said,
"Don't worry. I will always be here for you."
"I know. Thank you so much!" Yve responded and tightened her grip on Vince's waist.
Vince would want to stay that way forever, with his Queen clinging tightly but it must end for now.
"Yve you need to get ready. I'll go downstairs and cook our food."
Yve pulled back and look at him. Her eyes were filled with worry once again making Vince regret what he just said. Vince leaned in a little closer, their foreheads touching and said,
"If you don't want to, it's fine. You don't need to force yourself."
"No. I have to do this." Yve responded and walked towards the bathroom.
Vince sighed as he saw Yve opened and closed the door. Soon, he heard the water falling from the shower and grabbed his phone and called a number.
"Make sure everything will go as planned."
Vince voice is calm as well as his face but his aura is cold causing the room's temperature to fall in a negative centigrade. He looked at the window and opened the curtains a little bit before murmuring,
"Time for you to pay the price for crossing the line, hurting both my cousin and my Queen."
He, then left the room silently.

Noble Head Office
--
"Rose, how's the negotiation with SkyMu Entertainment?" Maddie asked her assistant.
"Ms. Yvory's secretary just gave a formal letter of acceptance but also informed us that they will not be able to sign the contract yet."
This confused Maddie.
'Did something happened to Yve?'
She erased the bad idea as knowing her son, he will not let anything happen to Yve.
"It's fine. But I want everything to be perfect with our plan with them. Set a meeting with the Legal Team and the Marketing Team. I want to finalize everything today." Maddie instructed Rose.
"Yes, Madam." Rose said as she finished taking down the information in her tablet and left the room.

Nyelle's Apartment
--
Nyelle has finished packing her things and are now about to put them in her car. After meeting the meeting, she's planning to leave everything and everyone behind. Now that Yve, Edward and Vince knew her sins, there's no need for her to stay in a place where she doesn't belong. She looked at her apartment one last time as she recalled the times she and Yve used to eat and watch movies together.
"I will truly miss our bonding together." She whispered and walked towards the door.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw someone she least expected.
"Running away after everything?"
