The moment when Aren scooped me up from the podium and spun me around while holding me in his arms had been registered and shown from every possible angle. The miraculous awakening of a husband who rushed straight from the hospital to save his wife from evil men trying to slander her had quickly become viral. I watched another news report from Lan Diamond Tower, blushing as I realized that something that had felt like our intimate moment now belonged to thousands of people.

“What else would they want?” I looked at him with question marks painted all over my face.

“Interviews, the insights into our amazing love story. We need to have prepared answers to every single question they might ask,” he replied, a serious expression on his face telling me that he was already writing possible scenarios in his head.

Unfortunately, my confidence lasted only until I walked into Aren’s bedroom and found him wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips. He had his hair damp and combed up, emphasizing every angle of his perfectly symmetrical face. The sight of his chiseled, rigid muscles was absolutely mouthwatering.
