Stella's POV
With Nathaniel out of the picture, life had taken on a wonderful lightness. Each day felt brighter, more vibrant, all because of Adrian—the man who didn't just speak his love but demonstrated it constantly through his actions and devotion.
Adrian made it his mission to ensure my happiness, though honestly, his mere presence was enough. Falling asleep in his protective embrace and waking to those sparkling eyes gazing at me—it was the kind of bliss I'd never dared to imagine for myself.
Our days settled into a delicious pattern. Nights filled with passionate lovemaking, mornings beginning with tender intimacy before reluctantly leaving our bed. His kisses, his touch, his affection—I was becoming thoroughly spoiled by them all.
