My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0215

From the day Valerie started dating Marcus, her life began to change. This man stopped working late, except when it was truly urgent, though in the 15 days they’d been together, that hadn’t been necessary.

Marcus made a point of sticking to office hours, mostly because he wanted to spend time with Valerie. She had to admit, she’d never experienced anything like this before. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word- opening the car door for her, holding her hand confidently as they strolled, always ensuring she walked on the safer side of the sidewalk. He took her out for dinners, starting with fancy restaurants, but after Valerie said she preferred something simpler, they began visiting cozy cafés she chose herself.

Marcus, on his end, enjoyed Valerie’s company and loved indulging her small whims–usually desserts or evening walks in Century Park. The forest in a park had become her favorite place during her time alone, and he appreciated that she now wanted to share it with him. Because of that, he never said no to those nightly walks, sometimes just the two of them, other times with Serenity.

At the office, there were whispers about their relationship, Marcus neither confirmed nor denied anything, per Valerie’s request. She didn’t want colleagues to feel there was favoritism because she was close to the boss. Officially, she was still his subordinate and wanted to avoid any special treatment. If it were up to Marcus, he’d have already shouted to the world that they were together and that she was the love of his life. But he respected her wishes and went at her pace.

On one of their dates, Marcus took her to the observation deck of the Mirror Tower. He had reserved the entire space for just the two of them, ensuring they wouldn’t be disturbed. They dined and sipped wine, and she admired the city view while he embraced her from behind.

“Valerie… You’ve brought peace back into my life,” he said softly. “My heart feels calm; you’re my light. These days with you have slipped through my fingers like water. Before we were together, I was just drifting, the only thing keeping me grounded was Serenity. But now, I feel complete. I don’t need or want anything else.”

Marcus gently turned her toward him and kissed her a kiss full of love and tranquility.
