I shook my head. “Nothing. Just thinking about the office. It’s been a few days since I’ve attended. And yeah, we had a little chat a few days ago.”

He placed a kiss on my forehead. “Good. I’m glad you’re coming closer to my family. During your stay in New York, you weren’t connected with Caleb or Arthur. And don’t worry about the office, it’s your company. You go whenever you want.”

A genuine smile stretched across my lips, even though the thought of Arthur planning something was swirling in my head. At first, when he made me an equal owner of everything he had, I was livid. I didn’t want it. But now, I didn’t mind. At all. In fact, I was happy he loved and trusted me enough to take such a huge step for me.

It was a proof how seriously he took our relationship. Of course, I wouldn’t ever take any advantage of the power he gave me. But the thought of having rights to everything he owned, felt good. As if I was already his wife, his other half.

“You were saying something about Arthur? What was it?”

I shrugged. “Nothing. I was wondering if he could handle everything on his own. But I guess you’re right. He has been doing this for years, after all. I shouldn’t worry about it.”

Just one more day. As soon as I find out about his past, I’ll be able to know what Arthur had against Ace. Maybe then I can do something?

Nodding, he picked me up from the counter, making me immediately wrap my arms around his neck.

“Let’s have breakfast now. Then we can leave for our little vacation.”

“Ace, can I remove it now? I want to see where you’ve brought me,” I complained for the umpteenth time since we left the penthouse. He had put on a blindfold over my eyes before getting into the car so I couldn’t see where he was taking me.

“Relax, baby. Just a few steps more and we’ll be there,” he murmured in my ear.

I let out a huff and let him guide me to wherever he wanted to take me.

When he finally removed the blindfold from my eyes, I was left surprised. My lips parted as my gaze roamed over the beauty of the mansion stood before me.

The same mansion we had visited after shopping for Tess for her engagement, the night we met that accident. The house he had bought for his future.

If it was beautiful at night, it was breathtaking in the daylight.

Under the sun, it stood so magnificently with its black and white combination that I couldn’t tear my eyes off it. The little garden surrounding it was now covered with colorful flowers, mostly roses. The grass was lush green.

I took a deep breath.
