Hearing the sound, Caden lifted his gaze. When he saw it was me, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his usually indifferent expression becmore complex.
Our gazes met, our eyes locking, and neither of us said a word.
The silence in the office was almost suffocating.
Staring at his familiar, handsface-his sharp features like they'd been carved by a divine hand-I felt a surge of emotions. His cold, distant aura only heightened my frustration.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI suddenly had the urge to ask him why, on the day of their engagement, he had completely ignored my feelings and disappeared for the entire day with Tessa.
Why was he so cold and indifferent to me, even refusing to letsee Richard? But I held back.
Taking a deep breath to calm my racing emotions, I put on a gentle smile and walked slowly to his desk.
I placed my resignation letter in front of him and said coolly, "Here's my resignation letter. Please approve it." Caden's POV: Resignation letter? The moment I saw it, my mood plummeted.

Rosaline's POV: Caden's dark eyes were deep and turbulent, like an endless ocean, swirling with cold, raging waves that threatened to drown me.
Unable to withstand the intensity of his gaze, I took a step back.
Cut ties with him? For Jasper? Is Caden out of his mind? This is ridiculous! A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I mocked, “This is absurd!" After saying that, I turned to leave, but suddenly a force gripped my waist, icy and overwhelming. Before I could react, Caden slammedagainst the wall.
"Caden, what are you doing? Let go of me-" My words were cut off as he silencedwith his lips. Caden lowered his head and kissedhard on the lips.
His kiss was fierce and domineering, filled with raw anger, an overwhelming force.
Caden's POV: Rosaline struggled, but I held her wrists tightly, my grip unyielding.
Her soft lips, the sweet taste of her, pulleddeeper into the kiss.
I couldn't help but pry her lips apart, pushing my tongue inside.
