When she found it hard to breathe, she pushed him away.
Both were left breathless, Edwinâs face showing the flush of intense emotion.
âMy Dad has agreed,â he said, looking at her earnestly.
Lauraâs complexion turned pale, and she trembled visibly.
She had harbored feelings for Edwin once, drawn to everything he was.
But upon learning his true identity, she had never allowed herself to dream of a future with him.
There was an internal struggle within her.
Laura averted her eyes, taking a moment before meeting his gaze again.
âMr.
Evans, I donât understand what you mean.
â
âI want to be with you.
I want to marry you,â he stated plainly.
Laura offered a faint smile, her voice soft.
âBut I canât.
I liked you, Edwin, but I canât imagine being with Uncle Markâs son.
Iâm sorry, but I just donât have the courage to even dream of it.

If she had known who he was from the beginning, she would have walked away without waiting for him to leave her.
Life wasnât a fairy tale, especially not for her.
Her dreams of fairy tales had been shattered long ago.
Edwin was visibly taken aback by her firmness.
His face, usually calm, showed a flicker of surprise.
Laura, always gentle, asked him to leave.
âPlease go, it wouldnât be right for us to be seen like this.
â
Edwin reached out, touching her shoulder softly.
âI donât believe youâve forgotten us,â he whispered.

In a sudden move, he ki*sed her, his hand tenderly tracing the contours of her body, moving from her slender shoulders down to her waist.
Laura had two small dimples there, sensitive to even the lightest touch.
In moments when she was slightly perspiring, the effect was even more striking, almost enchanting.
He yearned to rekindle their shared past, to remind her that their physical connection, at least, remained unchanged.
The ki*s deepened, growing more passionate by the second.
In the seclusion of the bedroom, Edwin found himself struggling to contain his desires.
After being separated from Laura for so long, he held her delicate form and was consumed by a burning feeling, yearning to possess her at that very moment.
Laura hesitated, torn by conflicting emotions.
Undoubtedly, she had feelings for him.
