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
Junia’s P.O.VI rolled my eyes to the back completely, reading the message that Ethan sent to me. “Don't ever go back to Nicholas, Junia. He is a member of the drug cartel and he is dangerous”I paused in my tracks for a second, running my hands through my hair frustratedly. “Ethan must think that cooking up lies about Nicholas would make me hate him…..” In anger, I sent a voice note to him. “Look, Ethan, I appreciate everything that you have done for me okay? You have no chance with me anymore and please don’t disturb me any longer! I will be blocking you from now on plus I want to have nothing to do with you!”I continued. “Just because you helped me escape at the wedding doesn’t mean that I am coming back to you, alright! Get off my back and leave me alone!” I yelled, slipping my phone through my purse.I had no time for whatever Ethan had in mind. Now, I was worried about Betty and at the same time, I was angry at her because, since the incident at the wedding, she had been ignor
Ethan’s P.O.VJunia took in a deep breath, squeezing her eyes shut before her eyes flicked open. She darted her eyes in my direction while I stared at her through the rear mirror.“Are you enjoying your ride?” I teased. She exhaled sharply in an attempt to contain her rage. “Before I even get started, how did you find me? How did you know where I was?”I smiled at her despite the deep frown plastered on her face. “Since you didn’t want to listen to me. I hired someone to look after you, someone who can protect you when I am not there” I replied. She raised a brow in confusion. “What you are saying is that you hired someone to protect me? From what exactly? What the hell is wrong with you, Ethan? How hard is it difficult for you to understand that I want nothing to do with you”Ignoring her words, I tossed a chocolate bar at her. “This should lighten up your mood”She stared at me, attempting to say a word but ended up running her hands through her hair. “Heaven knows that I am sick
Junia’s P.O.VNo matter how much I tried to, I couldn't get rid of the thoughts of Ethan that kept flashing through my head at every passing second. He was the reason why I was fumbling with my scripts and now, he was the reason why Jones was lashing out at me.“Junia, what is wrong with you? Do you have a headache? I don't get why we are going through reading the same script over and over again” Jones almost raised his voice at me but he soon toned it down.I heaved a sigh. “I apologize and…..” Before I could complete my words, he placed a hand on my forehead. “You don't have a fever, your body temperature is normal”. All of a sudden, he stared intently at me, darting his eyes to my stomach before tilting his head to the left. “Are you pregnant?”Shooting him a glare, I shoved his hands off, reading the scripts again and despite me putting all my attention to it, all I was seeing was Ethan!“This jerk! How do I get rid of him?…”All of a sudden, Jones yelled at me. “You see, you a
Ethan’s P.O.VMy upper lips curled in amusement while she stared at me with a face filled with nothing but horror. She screamed at the top of her lungs. “What the heck are you even doing here”I darted my eyes towards the altar. “Is it a bad thing to want to pray?”Before I knew what was happening, she stood on her toes, grabbing me by the collar. “You are seriously getting on my nerves, Ethan and…..”Before she could complete her statement, I cut in. “Don’t forget that you have eyes fixed on you…..”Junia straightened, glancing at everyone before storming out of the church. Betty rolled her eyes, intentionally bumping shoulders with me as she scuttled towards Junia. The anger on her face fascinated me and I am not being a creep or anything but I was just simply amused. Sauntering out of the church, Betty and Junia stood outside, probably getting into an argument. “You said it was going to work!” I heard Junia say. “I thought it was going to work! But you are also the architect o
Ethan’s P. O. VSeething with rage, I glanced behind me, only to notice that there was no car behind us. I raised a brow in confusion, darting my eyes back to the driver.“I thought you claimed that there was a car following us?” He glanced in the side mirror, shock evident on his face. “Yes, a car was following us earlier so how did the car suddenly vanish……” His words trailed offI glanced behind me again. “Are you sure that you saw the car?…..” “I saw the car, I don't just know how the car vanished”Taking in a deep breath, I heaved a sigh, signaling for him to stop the car. These drug cartel people were going too far and I didn't want to sit calm any longer. My mind soon strayed towards Nicholas as I stepped out of the car and I couldn't help but wonder if Nicholas had lied to me that time, that I had him abducted. Now that I think about it, why was it that when Nicholas wanted to get married to Junia, all the issues concerning being followed by Pedro came to an end and after
Junia’s P.O.VSwitching the lights to the kitchen on, a scream left my lips when my gaze fell on Nicholas sitting around my kitchen slab, biting on a sandwich, exerting all the muscles in his arm as he gripped it tightly. I tilted my head, my eyes narrowing in confusion, trying to wrap my head around everything that was happening. First of all, how did he get inside here?Nicholas’s eyes met mine and a wavering smile slipped on his face. “You don’t mind that I am here, right?”My eyes swept down his disheveled hair and his overgrown mustache— when did he ever have a mustache? His eyes glinted with passion, downing a bottle of water. “I missed you, Junia! I missed you every day and night that you were the only one that I saw everywhere”The phone that slipped from my hands vibrated against the floor and when I saw who the caller was, I shifted my gaze upward before my gaze fell on Nicholas who had a mouthful of sandwich in a way that caused me to cringe. I kind of wondered if he wa
Junia’s P. O. VI fiddled with my fingers, tapping my feet on the ground as anxiety crept at the back of my neck. As much as I was so happy to see her, I couldn't deny the mixed emotions that surged through me as she came into the coffee shop with a wavering smile plastered on her face. Every part of me crumbled when the scars that were marred on her skin were now evident. I felt bad for her and at the same time, anger clogged my throat for being tolerant of Matteo all this while. I tried to hide the tears that pressed at the back of my eyelids and at the same time, I was proud that she was finally ready to be saved. I made a tiny sniffle while she sat on the seat across from me.“Junia…..” My name danced on her tongue, her eyes glinting with amusement. “I am proud of the woman that you have become,”I couldn't control the tears that threatened to fall any longer as I clambered up, and rushed towards her, and for the first time in many years, I had my hands wrapped around her, the
