The Strongest Businessman

'This was on our 6th monthsary...' Dylan was still baffled about what was currently happening to him. He could not understand why he was here all of the sudden. His mind was blank and he could not think of any reason why he was suddenly here? Is this a dream?

Just seconds​ ago, he was suffering life-endagering torture in the cave but now, he was on his own suite. Dylan knew that this was definitely an illusion or a dream.

However, it seemed so vivid and so real. Every detail was impeccable, without the slightest bit of fault. It was just as he remembered it to be. It was as though he went back in time.

"Love, is something wrong? Why are you staring me like that?" Rose gently asked as she lowered her head and shyly played with her hair. Her natural rosy white cheeks had faint redness to it. Her heart fluttered when she saw Dylan staring intently at her.

She was wearing an expensive yet mesmerizing white sleeveless dress that Dylan bought for her even at the expense of 25000$. It was Dylan's gift to her on their 6th monthsary because​ he knew that white was her favorite color. The dress hugged her body and exhibited its unparalleled charm when it was paired with her fair complexion and ample breasts.

"Is there something on my face... Wait a second... But aside from lipstick, I didn't​ put on any make up... *gasp*" Rose thought out loud but as soon she realized what she just said, she turned around and subconsciously covered her face in embarassment.

When Dylan saw Rose's cute reaction, his heart warmed and an arc soon formed on his mouth as his face had that gentle and loving expression on it. He could no longer contain himself and hugged Rose from the back.

Dylan put his arms around Rose's narrow and slender waist. Even though he knew that this was a dream, the warmth and sensation of touch he felt was too realistic.

"..." Rose blushed cutely because she was caught off guard. She did not expect Dylan to hug him from the back so suddenly.

"Rose... I miss you so much ... so so much." Dylan's voice broke as he burried his head on Rose's fragrant silky smooth black hair. Tears flowed uncontrollably, Dylan was like a child as he slowly tightened his embrace.

'If this was a dream, I wish it would last forever.' Dylan wished. He missed her so much, much more than anything else. He missed her eyes, nose, lips and just about everything about her. Seeing Rose again was one of the wishes he hoped to be granted but he never expected it to happen because they were barred by the incalculable distance of the two worlds.

"Love, are you okay?" Rose worriedly asked because Dylan suddenly cried on her shoulders. Hearing his cries, her expression saddened which implied that she doesn't want Dylan to shed his tears.

"Can we stay like this for a little while?" Dylan requested. He wanted to savor every single moment that he could with her in this dream. He was afraid that this dream would end immediately and he could no longer spend his time with Rose.

"Okay." Rose obediently complied as she put her hands on top of Dylan's arm and leaned on Dylan's head.

...

The hug lasted for a while before Dylan finally let go. Dylan felt better after hugging Rose. It was as like a heavy burden was lifted off his chest. He finally fulfilled one of his deepest wishes which was to hold Rose one last time.

After being released from his embrace, Rose turned around and anxiously asked with loving affection, "Do you feel better now? Why did you suddenly hug me, love? Why did you cry, love? Why did you suddenly say you miss me when I just took a bath and changed my clothes? Is there something wrong?"

" I do feel better now. I hug you because I was afraid that all of this is nothing but a dream. I cried because I felt so happy to see you, to hold you and most of all, to have you. I said that because I can't bear to part with you. Lastly, no, there is nothing wrong because I now have you with me. With you here, everything will be alright." Dylan caressed Rose's face slowly with his right hand and brought her closer to him by wrapping his left hand around her waist. He patiently answered Rose's questions of worry one by one. Each answer was straight from the heart because he could never lie to her.

'I vow to go back to Earth one day and make you my wife when I am strong enough to withstand interstellar travel!' Dylan vowed as he looked straight to the eyes of his beloved.

"You bully." Rose was overwhelmed by Dylan's heartfelt speech that her whole face was flushed red. She was helpless and could only weakly pound Dylan as she burried her pretty face on Dylan's stout chest.

"You are my one and only. I love you more than anything else, my love." Dylan gently said. He put his right hand under Rose's chin and tilted it upwards as he maneuvered his head downwards for a kiss.

"I love you with all my heart and soul, Dylan." Rose replied and closed her eyes to prepare for the kiss.

A sweet feeling of pleasure was soon felt by the two as their lips met one another. A jolt of electricity filled their body as they treasured the kiss that they were doing right now.

However, as Dylan was passionately kissing Rose, he suddenly felt that something happening around him. He could no longer feel Rose's lips and immediately decided to open his eyes.

"Where am l?" When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to discover that he no longer within his suite with Rose but in a bridge with a river underneath. He was currently holding the handles of side of the bridge and faced the river which reflected the luminous radiance of the moonlight.

'Isn't this that time when the past Dylan met Princess Elizabeth?' Dylan silently mused.

It was at that moment that a supremely beautiful young lady who wore a white dress was walking on the entrance of the bridge, left to Dylan. Every movement she did was of utter gracefulness like she was walking on a royal carpet. Her face and body seemed as if they were sculpted without​ any intention of flaws. Bathed by the moonlight, she appeared like a moon fairy as the shine of the moon glittered her light blue hair.

"Why do you look so gloomy?" The light blue haired young lady asked with a mellow voice.

Dylan could recognize this scene​ from the past Dylan's memories. That mellow voice was something that stirred Dylan's heart.

'Why am I feeling like this?' Dylan found it weird that he was feeling like this but after some contemplation, he suspected that the past Dylan's gratitude felt for Princess Elizabeth must have unknowingly turned into love. It was understandable because she was the reason why the past Dylan was able to persevere despite his inability to cultivate.

Sharing his memories and his body, Dylan had also shared the feelings the past Dylan had for Princess​ Elizabeth.

'But Rose is the only one I love and will ever love!' Dylan quickly denied this feeling​ that he was feeling. He was unwilling to betray the love he felt for Rose because he had already vowed back on Earth that she would be the only girl he will love for the rest of his life. He strongly stood by his belief of monogamy and fidelity to his beloved.

Despite his denial, his heart kept racing at the sight of this beautiful figure. No matter how much his rationality denied those feelings, he was helpless to stop it as Princess Elizabeth neared. He did not feel this way when he just remembered it but truly experiencing it was far different from recollecting the memories.

"Is something the matter?" The beauty asked. She felt curious with how this young man, whom she has never met before, was staring at him intently. Was it infatuation or lust? But she could not see those in his clear eyes, there was only conflict and a feeling of defeat.

"Nothing..." Dylan looked away after he realized how long he had focused his attention to Princess Elizabeth. There was even a faint trace of blushing in Dylan's cheeks from the embarassment.

"You're quite funny, mister." The white dressed beauty giggled in amusement.

Dylan sideglanced and saw how cute the lady giggled which made his heart skip a bit.

'Argh, what the hell is happening to me?!' He was angry because he was unable to stay composed all of a sudden. He felt that this was so unlike him.

Dylan may be the greatest businessman in earth and equipped with a large arsenal of skills as a leader and a worker. However, he was still a newbie when it came to love as he was still unable to comprehend the intricacies of love.

Rose was his first love and first ever girlfriend at that. He had not even reached the point where he could engage in intercourse with Rose because they both decided to do it on their honeymoon to make it even more special and memorable.

He could easily compose himself regardless of the situation and the person or group he was interacting with.

However, being a reincarnator who has shared the memories and feelings of the past host of this body, coupled with the fact that he was practically a novice when it came to love, he did not know what to do when your heart beats for two different women.

Although he had read a bunch of harem stories, he was unwilling to be that type of young master who had multiple wives. He was unwilling to fall into such temptation and will stand strongly to his beliefs!

"I'm sorry I need to go somewhere, lady fairy." Dylan calmly said despite his heart racing as she looked at her but he was able to compose himself enough to say those words.

"Wait~" Princess Elizabeth was dumbfounded by Dylan calmly saying his farewell.

Thus, he turned around and slowly walked away from the stunned beauty. But as he walked away, he noticed that the scene was changing everything seemed to have disappeared.

"It's happening again." Dylan's expression turned serious because this might be another scene from the memories of his past two lives.

While walking in the vast emptiness, he suddenly tripped over and fell on his knees. He saw a grass field that spanned for just about 6 meters in diameter and aside from that, he could no longer see anything other than darkness..

There was only darkness as he rotated his head left and right to scan the vicinity around them.

"Sir Dylan." A familiar voice suddenly sounded which caught Dylan off guard.

"This voice, it can't be!" He stopped scanning his surroundings and could not believe what his eyes saw on his hands was Leila!
