I marveled at the lush greenery, with birds singing and flowers in full bloom.

"Where is this?" I asked softly. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Utopia," he replied, his voice captivating.

I turned to the tall man standing next to me. In his presence, I felt safe.

My heart raced as a realization hit me. Whenever I was with Atlas, it felt like my soul was being pulled to him. I lost myself, wanting only to follow his lead.

I was ashamed of my lack of self-respect. As someone who had hit rock bottom and been abandoned by everyone, I was about to fall for someone else.

However, he was undeniably attractive, which made resisting him difficult. He smiled warmly at me, and I stared at him like a deer caught in headlights.

Atlas gently brushed a strand of hair from my face. "You've lost weight in just a few days, haven't you?

You look like a damsel in distress!"

His words made me smile awkwardly and pull away. "Well, I'm still beautiful, aren't I?"

I cringed at my own words. Did I just call myself beautiful?

As I inhaled the sweet air around me, I said, "This place is amazing!"

Leaning against the railing, I looked out into the distance and reflected on my years in the city. "I've lived here for so long, and I never knew such a beautiful place was nearby. I used to be so focused on my work."

I chuckled in self-depreciation.

"That's because you never stopped to enjoy the scenery. You always had your head down," he said,

joining me. His scent was pleasant.

"Thank you for helping me when I was at the end of my rope," I said solemnly, turning to him. "I know you

were behind the Urban Builders deal. I'll remember your kindness, and I'll repay it one day."

Atlas leaned closer, and his warm breath brushed against me. "How do you plan to repay it?

I backed away. "Enough! I'm being sincere!"

He was a completely different person in front of me. I could be wrong, but there was something special

about him.

A true mystery of a man! However, I couldn't let myself indulge too much.

Although my marriage had failed, I still had a family. If I grew too close to him, what would that make me?

How would I be any different from Matthew?

"I-I'll repay you my way!" I stammered.

in it. Suddenly, it felt like he was mocking me.

My expression turned stern. "I've said I'll repay you, and I will. I'm not an ungrateful person, and I hope you'll respect my sincerity. I'm not one to joke around. Keep in mind that we're still strangers, and I hope you won't overstep."

He just stared at me. I avoided his gaze, but he grabbed my chin and pulled me closer, almost touching

our faces. I tried to push him away, but he stood firm, his lips capturing mine.

"Mmm..." I resisted for a moment before succumbing to his kiss. He only released me when I stopped struggling. He looked into my eyes, asking, "Are we still strangers? Did I sound like I was joking?" Panicking, I said, "Why'd you kiss me like that? I don't have the right to romance right now. I have a

husband and a child..."

"I can help you leave him," Atlas said firmly, leaving no room for doubt.

I was taken aback. I wanted to continue arguing with him, but I was lost in his starlit eyes.

"I'm not joking," he stated plainly.

Atlas suddenly lifted my chin again as his face grew nearer. I pushed him back and turned, escaping the
