Chapter: Whirlwind of Emotions – 2Chapter 59Vanessa's POV:Later that night, back at the hotel, I tried to keep my distance. But he was everywhere, partially suffocating my space.I was barely out of the shower when there was a knock at the door. I wrapped the robe tighter around me before opening it slightly, only to find him standing there, hands in his pockets.“Did you forget about the dinner?” he asked, his eyes scanning me briefly before stepping inside without invitation. “You need to get dressed.”I gestured to the dress I had already picked out. “I’m wearing this.”The dress I had chosen was a simple black one—elegant but modest.He gave it one look and dismissed it with a shake of his head. “No.”Frustration bubbled. “What’s wrong with it?”Instead of answering, he lifted the shopping bags with him. I blinked. He had lots of bags, and I wondered if he picked half the store."I got more than five dresses. Try them on.”“You expect me to try all of these?" He didn't respond, so I started opening the bags and

Chapter: *Whirlwind of Emotions*Chapter 58Vanessa's POV:He smelt of cigarettes. Sounded like the “something important” was smoking. My lungs were a bit relieved that he was considerate enough to do it outside.He paused in the doorway, expression unreadable, staring with lazy eyes, and in a nonchalant voice said, “What are you doing?”“Sleeping,” I said, fluffing a pillow.He let out a dry laugh. “Get up.”“I’m fine here.”His voice sharpened. “You're not allowed to do that here. We're sharing the bed, and that's final.”He did look serious. I swallowed. There was no room for argument. Slowly, I stood.I climbed into the bed, keeping as much distance as humanly possible from the other side. He disappeared into the bathroom. The sound of the running shower lasted minutes before the door clicked open again.I couldn't help myself. My eyes flickered over to him, despite my best intentions to look anywhere else. And there he was—standing shirtless, with a towel tucked loosely around his waist and another in his hand,

Chapter: *A Change of Scenery*Chapter 57Vanessa’s POV:The moment I stepped onto the plane, I knew something was wrong.Or, more accurately, something was too right.First-class? I had mentally prepared myself for the stiff seats, the cramped legroom, and the congested space. But here I was, standing in front of a seat so luxurious I almost didn’t want to touch it. Plush cream-colored seats, ample space, and an actual menu? This wasn’t just an upgrade. This was a full-blown Cinderella moment—except my fairy godmother was a sadistic CEO who got a kick out of seeing me squirm.I turned sharply to face Mr. Garcia, who was already settling into the seat beside mine like he owned the entire plane. Which, knowing him, he probably did.“You didn’t tell me we were flying first-class,” I asked, arms crossed.He gave me a slow, lazy smirk. “Would it have made you come willingly if I did?”I clenched my jaw. He didn't tell me he was kidnapping me in luxury.“This is unnecessary,” I muttered, gripping the armrest like it mig

Chapter: *A Trip to Paris*Chapter 56 Andre's POV:The door opened, and she walked in. The intern followed closely behind her, holding her hand, and then departed the moment my eyes lingered.He walked away from her side to stand beside his team manager. My fingers curled into my palm as I watched her approach. She leaned toward me slightly, her voice a soft whisper."Sir, coffee."I took it without a word, refusing to acknowledge the warmth in her tone. I took a sip, and somehow, it tasted more bitter than usual. I frowned and pushed it back to her."Get me a new one," I ordered.She passed me a pissed-off glare before leaving the room.Soon, the meeting ended, and everyone gathered their documents and left. Vanessa moved to pick up my copy of the proposal, but I stopped her. I got up, trapping her between the table with my hands."Sir?" Her voice was low, cautious, and her face held a frown.I tilted my head, watching her carefully. "What? You didn’t have this face downstairs when you laughed at whatever tha

Chapter: Obsession-2Chapter 55*Obsession-2*Andre’s POV:I ran a hand down my face as she stormed off, exhaling heavily. A part of me felt relieved watching her go—like shedding dead weight. There was no passion, no real connection. Just another failed attempt at something that was never meant to be.Signaling the waiter, I ordered a bottle of whiskey. Tonight, I needed to drown in something stronger than my thoughts.The moment I dropped the bottle, my phone buzzed, and I picked up without checking."How's your date going?" Ethan's voice carried amusement. I exhaled. Sounded like he called just to mock me. I didn't respond, just sighed a second time."Come on... Tell me about it, Andre..." Ethan dragged."Fucked. I broke up with her, and she left."Ethan laughed. "I knew it would end this way. You're that ass who doesn’t know what he wants.""And you do?""Better than you do." He jeered."You alone?""Still at the restaurant, yeah.""Let's drink together then."I leaned back in my seat. "And Sarah?""S

Chapter: *Obsession-1*Chapter 54By the time evening rolled around, Vanessa gathered her things and stepped out of the building.Andre stood in front of the glass window, arms folded, watching her leave. The sight unsettled him in ways he refused to acknowledge. The way she carefully balanced the box in her arms, her delicate fingers gripping the edges as if afraid to drop it—it held his attention longer than it should have.She was almost at the gate when someone stepped into her path.The intern from earlier.Andre’s jaw tightened. His eyes sharpened, drinking in every detail of the interaction between them.Vanessa said something, and the guy laughed. His smiling face grated on Andre’s nerves. Then, without hesitation, the intern reached out, offering to take the box from her. Vanessa hesitated for a moment before handing it over, a small, appreciative smile tugging at her lips.Andre's fingers curled into a fist, something dark and restless brewing inside of him.What the hell is she doing?His vision

Chapter: Chapter 65★★JAYDEN★★I Stood beside my father's bed as the doctor, who was called over spoke. "Madam," he started, looking directly at my mother who's eyes were teary. "He is paralyzed I'm afraid to say. I think he was poisoned, not in the last two days though, like a slow poison. Although i tried to detect the actual poison used, but it's a smart case, the person was so wise not to let him get to this state in a week or two." He sighed, wiped his face with his hand out of frustration as he was also confused. "I think it's the work of some sort of poison, since he never reacted earlier to this poison, it was impossible detecting it I'm sorry. You'll have to take him to Japan for treatment, some local temple i will direct, this poison is spreading slowly, but destroying more" he continued.I looked at my helpless father on the bed, his mouth is twisted, like one part is toothless, his neck bent to the side, he can only rotate his eyeballs in fear.

"Bella, we're not done dancing, are you looking are these people?, well don't. They are badlucks. Just don't want us to be happy.

My cousin was about to pick it and i winked at the designer with a smile. She started blushing... Still not understanding what i meant. I gave a look at the dress and raised my eye lid and brows, she picked the dress up and asked my cousin to go for another.Still smiling at myself, my mother spoke, "why are you smiling?

This is the first true love I feel i ever have, Jayden just have to surrender for my sake, we're brothers. I sigh in frustration still looking at the door she went through when someone stood in front of me, blocking my views. "I never knew you will be so disgusting someday."

"Such a man," she uttered with a smile."Braden, let's help each other. You know everything is

Chapter: Chapter 61★★BELLA★★ I Laid so frustrated on the bed, since the past two days Jayden left, no calls, neither have I heard from him. "Aish...!!!" I used my feet to jam the bed for the 6th time this evening. I think this to the only thing that can keep me sane, with the fact of me been damn frustrated.The door opened with him standing exhausted and leaned his hand on the door knob."I'm back." He smiled. Now's not a good time to vent my anger on him even though I really want to. I turned my face to the other side of the bed to hide my angry face. I could here his footstep as he approach me, I feel the heat from him as he leaned closer and whispered, "why are you not responding?""I'm sleeping Mr, have some respect." I replied then he burst out in laughter, "hahaha, you're asleep and dare to reply? You crazy spot." He tried to rub his palm on my hair but I hold him in mid air. "I told you I'm sleeping, don't you get it?!"

Chapter: Chapter 60★★BELLA★★ I woke up with my head spinning like a wheel. Jayden is not in the room, I walked out of the room, holding my half buttoned shirt. "Jay? Where at you? Jayden?" I called his name more than once, he did not reply. "Jayden?!" I called again, and still no reply from him, i decided to check the other rooms. Another room was opened half way through, I peeped through the open space, he was arranging his clothes in a bag"Where are you going?" I asked him with the most disappointing voice."Bella, you're awake?" He brought his lips closer to kiss my cheek, I shifted my face away from his reach. "Where at you off to? You haven't answered this question.""I need to go back Bella. I have businesses to take Care of, my company is also there. It can't be without it's CEO for so long!""And me? You're leaving me?
