Junia’s P.O.V I couldn’t control the tears that cascaded down my cheeks as I listened to Nicholas talk. His words made me feel stupid, and most importantly, it made me feel that I overreacted instead of giving him a listening ear. But, he shouldn’t blame me because I acted out of impulse and I felt disrespected when he made no attempts to make things clear to me. I felt his fingertips trail my face as he wiped off my tears. “You don’t need to feel this way, Junia. It is all my fault. I should have at least attempted to explain things to you then but I allowed my emotions to get the better part of me”I sniffled in the tears that were threatening to fall while he reached his hands for mine, squeezing it gently. “I made our trip to Bali a mess but I promise you that every moment that I am going to be spending with you now will be memorable” I pursed my lips slightly, not being able to believe that I had broken the connection between us when he was the victim in this case. “I feel l
Ethan’s P.O.VHeartache, pain, or anger? These were not the perfect words to describe the emotions that surged inside of me at that very moment. Why was it that all my plans were starting to fail? Why was it that everything that I did for Junia went down the drain?How could she have done something like this to me? How could she even attempt to get back with Nicholas? Their wedding would be in two days! Was this the reason why she began ignoring me? Was Nicholas the reason why she stopped replying to my text messages? I have gone too easy on Nicholas and that was why he thought that he could have his way. I didn’t spend my time hatching and executing plans for how to destroy his relationship with Junia just for her to get back with him every single time. Plus where the hell was Charlotte? What did Nicholas do to her? How come I couldn’t even find her? She didn’t even return to Switzerland so how did she suddenly disappear? “Nicholas! Nicholas! You are a ticking bomb that I have
Junia’s P.O.VSitting right before the dressing mirror as the stylist adorned my hair with white pearls, I couldn’t help but search for something that should be present on this day— Happiness! The same one that I felt on the day that I had gotten married to Ethan. Now I was getting married to Nicholas and the only thing that I felt was this devastating feeling of emptiness. I know that I might have addressed Nicholas as my soulmate numerous times but this marriage felt like the wrong step that I should be taking and the annoying thing was even Betty didn’t feel like something was wrong anywhere. She even claimed that I was overreacting just because of the experience of my past marriage! In these past few days, I have tried calling off the wedding multiple times but there is this thing that Nicholas does to me that I couldn't decipher. All I know is that whenever he does this thing, I end up changing my mind and agreeing to go further with the wedding. Here I was now, sitting b
Junia’s P. O. V As I ventured into the aisle, there was this cold air that gushed through my skin in that instant and there was this voice that was screaming for me to take to my heels and run for my life. “Run for your life, Junia! Run as fast as your legs can carry because you are about to make the worst decision of your life! You are going to regret this!” The voices in my head screamed and no matter how much I tried, the voices persisted that I swear that I could go crazy. But when my eyes met those eyes that would make my soul melt and those eyes that would make me feel like I wanted to drown inside of them, the thoughts that filled my mind and the voices soon disappeared.He smiled at me, his eyes glinting with tears and even though the thoughts were beginning to fade, something still didn’t sit right with me. “I am making the world’s worst decision” I muttered under my breath, taking my eyes off Nicholas. My gaze landed on the crowd and while I tried to smile at them, the
Ethan’s P.O. VNo matter how much I tried to rack my brain in an attempt to come up with a plan that I would use in destroying the wedding ceremony, none of them made any sense and it felt more as if I had proceeded with the plans that I had in mind, then the plans would have failed woefully like they always do! Later on, I decided that the best thing to do was to just attend the wedding ceremony and use my presence to call off the wedding. If there was a chance or the possibility of something ever happening between me and Junia again, then she would be affected by my presence and if she wasn’t affected by my presence, then it meant that it was time to let her go! But would I let her go? Would I allow the woman who invaded my dreams every night to go? That would never happen! Even if there was a high chance that she had lost all of her feelings for me, I would still do everything in my capacity to bring back the love that she held towards me. Thankfully, it seemed that my plan wo
Ethan's POVThe drive back home was quiet, I had never seen Junia this broken in a long while and somehow, I wanted to know the thoughts that went through her mind.I wanted to hear her deepest thoughts and at the same time, I was glad that I ruined her day— now that I thought about it, it was more like I saved it.We both sat in silence while she stared out the window fiddling with her fingers. With a hand on the steering wheel, I halted before the traffic light, waiting for the light to turn green when she shifted, " You should stop staring at me through the corner of your eyes?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. I coughed and laughed at the same time, in an attempt to hide my awkwardness, "What makes you think that I would stare at you when I have to make sure that we don't get into a car accident" I pulled right into the compound. She chuckled slightly, turning to look at me with those amber eyes, gleaming like the galaxies were gathered inside.Junia would be the end of me
Junia’s P. O. V My eyes fluttered open slowly as a groan left my lips. I tossed and turned on the bed, amidst stretching as well but while I did all of that, I couldn't help but notice something weird about the bed that I slept on.There was just something about this bed that I couldn't decipher. Why did it feel familiar and unfamiliar at the same time? “This doesn't seem like my bed” I muttered to myself, my gaze fixed on the clock that ticked slowly. At that very moment, the aroma of bacon and omelet wafted through my nostrils. Now that I thought about it , this felt freaking weird as well. When the realization dawned on me, I sprang up from the bed, swiveling my gaze around the whole room! “Shit!!!!” I almost screamed, my hands flying over my mouth to control the gasps that almost left my lips. What the fuck was wrong with me! Why did I even follow Ethan to his home and how was I that shameless to even come to this same room? I hit my hands on my head. “You are stupid Junia,
Ethan’s P. O. V“How do you feel being the hero of the week? You are like an angel who saved a damsel in distress” Aiden teased while I turned to him, fixing him a stern gaze. “Wrong, I am no angel! I am the devil himself…..have you heard anything concerning Nicholas…” I took my seat while he sat on the chair across from me. Aiden shrugged. “If you say so…..”He continued. “I haven’t heard anything about him but the police are currently investigating the cause of Charlotte’s death”I hissed. “What needs to be investigated? It is so evident that Nicholas must have murdered her”Aiden shook his head. “You see cousin, that is the problem! The evidence showed that he dropped Charlotte at the airport”I squirmed, staring intently at him. “If he drove her to the airport, then how was her body found around the ocean?”Aiden sighed. “I am confused. I have no idea about what is happening for real. All I know is that Nicholas wouldn’t…..” He clamped his mouth shut as soon as he locked eyes wi
