Eleanor's POV,"And this is how we give him a shot you know, to rest.", the nurse spoke.We were at the guest house, in his room. It had nothing but a mattress. It is supposed to be a weapon-free room. No pillows, no lamp, just as plain as a cell.Sam and uncle carry a dose gun with them for safer sides."You can have it too.", Sam passed me one, it looked much like a toy gun for me."Does it hurt-"Sam cracked a laugh, "It doesn't. It sends him into hibernation before the pain rings.""Time to leave!", the nurse wrapped her kit.My eyes flew to Kylen.He now lied with his eyes shut, a rare view I got to see. It was almost like he was sleeping peacefully. Not aware of his surroundings or anything.My heart shrunk at the thought of not staying there with him.When we exited the room, she locked it from outside."How do you guys identify if he's the normal him when he is up?"The nurse chuckled."The bad him doesn't speak. It is like he growls or makes weird noises.", she noticed my distraught look, "Hey. Don't you worry. It's me who opens the door, I run a check on him before releasing him from his cage."I pressed my lips together, with a light nod. It is still a risk to her life."How long is it effective?""Twelve-thirteen hours."The days started getting better. At least for me. Because Kylen was listening to my words.More like he had no choice.Kat goes to mom-to-be yoga classes. There she got to know that there are different batches and yoga is also taught. Kylen and I enrolled to morning session. Now, I gotta wake up early every day.We go for a sunrise run across the block, followed by meditation, exercises and then office. We share meditation class with Kat.Kat and Kylen don't leave a chance of arguing. We also got a good amount of warnings for disturbing others.And sometimes, both of them are surprisingly caring towards each other, ignoring me! It's a hate-love relationship and I'm stuck when they ask me to pick a side. Coming back from office, Kylen and I spend our time cooking dinner, trying out new recipes. Watch movies, and I dose off in-between being exhausted.He carries me to my bed daily and this has turned out a bad habit for me.I sometimes fake it, so that I can be in his arms, a princess treatment I deserve too!Fortunately, Kylen's mental health is good and stable. He is less worried or pretends to be less worried. I can't confirm it.My only goal is not letting his hopes down.Today, he was taking me to his office. Also, Kat and Rick are getting married next month. And Kat needs me for everything, literally everything. I guess, all my one year's leaves are gonna be done by the time this month ends!"Here we are.", Kylen briefly smiled, parking the car.Man, him in formals is a yummy treat for my eyes.While he wore his blazer coming out of the car, I could barely breath noticing his muscles bulging out. "Will you help me with this tie? Is it fine?""Nor?""Can you stop being so gorgeous?", I blurted out with a frown gaze.A smirk grew on his face, and it didn't ease me at all.He pecked my lips quickly, "Before you drool over me, I want to show you my employees, um- female employees' oogling views over me.""I don't care about them or their witless thoughts. They know that they are never getting you.", I managed to stay cool crossing my arm with his."Right. I'm wearing a board that says 'Touch me not. I belong to Eleanor Norberg.'"I squeezed his arm for his sarcastic punch.We were almost to the lift when people started greeting him. It wasn't like the artificial, just for the sake words. Kylen had earned everyone's respect. Everyone seemed to love him.He wished them back politely."I think you are way too friendly with your folks.""They are well aware of their boss's ruthless ego if they don't align to what I expect from them. See everyone do commit some mistakes.", his brows arched, a stricter look formed, "But I despise the ones that are done intentionally."Okay. Now he looked hotter. I bit my lower lip resisting myself from inappropriate thoughts.We passed through a crowd working with their laptops. Girls were enjoying his looks, but they were in their limits. Few were gossiping already about me. Huh. I really don't mind."Who's this pretty young lady?", a middle-aged man asked in British accent."Meet my lady, Eleanor.", Kylen smiled authoritatively, "Eleanor, this is Mr. Xen, one of the best finance analysts you will ever find."We exchanged handshakes formally before continuing in the direction."Damn! You are great with British accent too.""I'm a bundle of surprises.", he winked.He showed me his cabin. He explained some of the finical stuffs he manages and to be frank, everything went over my head. I was just thrilled to listen to his working/professional yet hot-commanding voice.On the other side, Kattsy was flooding my phone with texts for the lined up preparations.She wants me to design a wedding card as well.The rest of day, he took me to the main factory sublet. We met his dad there. I finally got the chance to see the bare parts of satellites being manufactured.It was like I was a school kid, curiously wandering around, squeaking in excitement on finding how things work.Kylen was the happiest seeing me. The adorable-rare smile stayed constant on his face, throughout. My phone rang.I sighed, taking it out of my pocket.But it was not Kattsy."Hey-"It was mom and I don't know why my heart flinched, before her panicked voice filled the air.
