Paint me as a VILLIAN !

CHAPTER 19

As the weeks flew by, each day filled with the excitement of planning their wedding, he embarked on a secret mission of his own. He began his search for the ideal house, a place where they could build their forever home, a sanctuary filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a future built together.

He spent his days scouring real estate listings and visiting countless homes. He envisioned her joy as she walked through the door for the first time, the way her eyes would light up at the sight of the spacious rooms, the lush gardens, and the cozy nooks perfect for sharing quiet moments.

He wanted a house that reflected her personality, a space that exuded warmth and comfort while still offering a touch of elegance. He dreamed of her filling it with her creativity, her laughter echoing through the halls, her paintings and sculptures adorning the walls, transforming it into a haven that was uniquely their own.

He considered various locations, each offering its own advantages. He imagined them enjoying morning walks on the beach, cozy evenings by the fireplace in a secluded cabin, or hosting lively gatherings in a spacious city apartment.

Ultimately, his heart led him to a charming house nestled in a quiet suburb. It had a warm, welcoming feel, with a spacious living room bathed in sunlight, a cozy kitchen perfect for cooking meals together, and a backyard that seemed to beckon for lazy afternoons spent in nature.

He knew it was perfect. He could see them raising a family in this house, watching their children play in the backyard, and creating countless memories that would last a lifetime. He could almost hear their laughter echoing through the halls and feel their warmth filling every corner of the space.

He closed on the house a few weeks before the wedding, keeping it a surprise for his bride. He knew seeing her face light up when she first walked through the door would be the perfect gift, a symbol of his commitment and his unwavering love for her.

As he stood in the empty house, the sun casting long shadows across the hardwood floors, he felt a surge of excitement and anticipation. He couldn't wait to make this a home, to fill it with their love, their dreams, and their laughter. He knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter, a chapter filled with joy, love, and the unwavering promise of forever.

And as he imagined her standing beside him, hand in hand, on the threshold of their new home, he knew that their love story, a testament to the enduring power of human connection, would continue to unfold, forever etched in the tapestry of their shared lives.

He kissed the crown of her head as she slept, the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains painting her face in a soft glow. He knew he had to get to work, but the thought of leaving her side was bittersweet.

He showered, dressed, and prepared breakfast, leaving a note on the table with a playful reminder to call him later. As he stepped out the door, he took one last look at her sleeping form, his heart overflowing with love and anticipation.

He drove to his office, the city bustling with life around him. But his mind was elsewhere, picturing her waking up, reading his note, and her beautiful smile as she started her day.

Meanwhile, she awoke to the gentle warmth of the sun on her face. She stretched, her eyes fluttering open to see the note he had left. A smile bloomed on her face as she read his loving words.

She showered, dressed, and prepared a light breakfast, a quiet joy humming through her. She knew she would be meeting her best friend later, and the excitement of catching up filled her with anticipation.

As they sat down for breakfast, she couldn't help but think about him. She wondered what he was doing, if he missed her as much as she missed him. She took a bite of her food, her mind wandering through their shared memories, their love a warm glow in her heart.
