Anyways— Smut Warning!!!

Author's POV;

It had been so long since Lenora saw Wilhelm. So she thought. She believed that without him, she was still happy, content at the very least. But no. Five months hadn't been enough to get over him. After seeing him the night of Halloween, every memory of every moment they had spent together came flooding back, filling her head with warmth and desire. She had truly loved him. It had been a love stronger than any of them have ever felt or even known to be true. He had marked her heart so viciously that it would take more than just time to heal her wounds. No.

She had to move on.

Following the next several weeks, Lenora had pushed herself to grow closer to Kendric. And so they did. The two of them spent every possible moment together after their first night. She became a new person, beside him. Before, she would never do small things she does now for others.

Lenora began picking him up from work to take him to lunch. On her free days, she would visit him at UCLA where he worked as an Economics professor, helping him to organize his papers and such. She took the time to open up to him and become vulnerable. Most of all, she never thought about Wilhelm.

Kendric had made the bold move of spending Thanksgiving with Lenora's family instead of his own. This year, Lenora's father had decided it would only be the four of them including Kendric. They thought it might be best to have smaller, intimate dinner considering the toll that the past year had taken on them. Goren acted indifferent to Kendric. He hadn't gone out of his way to befriend him as he usually did with most people.

Goren, in all honesty didn't like Kendric. He was nothing like Wilhelm and although this might, for the time being, be better for Lenora, he believed that ultimately Wilhelm was better for her— though he would never tell her this. After all, Wilhelm had hurt his sister. The most loving and caring person he had known. He wondered how anyone could even think to hurt her. Despite this, he knew there was more to the story than he would be able to understand at his age.

Lenora's father on the other hand, loved Kendric. He never got the chance to see Lenora with Wilhelm during their short relationship so to him, this was true love. Maybe it could have been.

Lenora did find herself caring for him deeply. Was it love? It was. She did love him. Although she didn't know if it was true love, she knew she loved him and she could eventually grow to be in love with him.

Kendric was head over heels for Lenora. His heart swelled at the thought of her. In a room full of people, his eyes were drawn to her as if there were some inconspicuous magnetic force. He found himself constantly wondering what he could have possibly done to be gifted something so bright.

For the first time, Lenora felt like everything was okay and maybe... just maybe... life would turn out alright.

Lenora Dalsing;

"This will only take a moment I need everyone to settle down." The CEO stands on a chair in front of everyone. "I'm sorry to announce that as a result of our ongoing financial issues, the firm will be coming to a close. I understand that this will come as a shock to all of you and I apologize that there are no positions to be saved. I wish you all luck in life and hope for the very best."

Murmurs begin around the entire room and flood my ears. My attention is drawn back to my boss when hearing my name.

"Lenora, Irving." He calls. "Follow me to my office for a moment." I find Irving through the crowd and walk alongside him. My heart beats incredulously at the thought of losing my job. We enter the room and sit down in the chairs at the front of the main desk. "I am aware that the two of you are involved with Wilhelm Daine?"
