Jane’s POV It was already afternoon when I was able to go home. From pretending as Lance’s date, fooling his mom and running away from Ingrid, it felt like an unending thrilling action movie. Lance did not send me home because we’re afraid that his mom would follow us. When I got off the bus, I walked back to my village. The sun slowly set, and the colors set from bright vibrant to pure darkness. It was beautiful, and for a moment my mind was interrupted. But it did not take long. When I looked down, the accidental kiss with my boss went back to my head. “Argh!” I ceased my pace and covered my burning face. Just thinking how awkward it will be to face my boss on Monday made me feel so embarrassed! As I pulled my hands down, I started to defend myself just like what I did multiple times ago after Lance and I separated. “That is not a kiss,” I murmured, nodding my head. “And our lips did not even bump into each other! It is a slight peck near my lips! AN ACCIDENT ISN’T A KISS!
CONTENT GUIDANCE: This chapter explores aspects of psychological health, physical and s*xual abuse. Please read with care. *********************************** The next morning, I found out that Sir Lance opened the flower shop even though it’s Sunday. I guessed it is because we were closed for a long time and he’s worried the flowers would wilt. Lance texted me that I should not come to work today and instead, I should take a rest for my injury to heal. I am not sure if he’s really worried about my injury or if he just doesn't want to meet me today. I know it would be so awkward to see each other. Nevertheless, I felt grateful for his consideration. Instead of staying in the house, I thought of taking a walk around the village. There are a lot of things bothering me, so I need fresh air. While walking around, I thought of the new information I got from talking with Haidee yesterday. ‘Cyrus was her lover.’ There was no doubt why Cyrus hates Eric so much. But what bothers me t
Many have changed because the time has turned back.Instead of working in Monteverde, I found a good job in Lance’s flower shop. I didn’t have to experience the same abuse I received from the Monteverde couple. And I thought, we won’t see each other again.Yet, Arthur is here. In front of me.When my eyes went clear and I saw his face, I felt the tingling pain inside my chest. It was hard for me to breathe as I remembered all the things he did to me.I realized that even if I avoided the misfortune, there’s a chance I’ll meet people who I encountered in the future.That happened to Lance, and that same goes with Arthur.However, that does not mean that I will let him do the same thing. NEVER.“Miss? Are you ok…”I moved backward when Arthur tried to hold my arm.I will never feel okay being with him. And I really really wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.Gathering my strength, I stood up. I kept my head down, staring at the lemonade wasted on the ground.“I am really sorry
Jane dragged her feet on her back to her apartment. She was dazed. She looked at her hands and saw them trembling. ‘Even if I came back to the past, the trauma is still there.’ Jane sighed. She thought that she was brave enough to face everything. But her reaction after seeing Arthur was proof that there were still things that she could not handle. Arthur has no recollection of their pasts. And Jane thinks it was so unfair. He can smile and act as if nothing happened, when she was drowning in fear. ‘If Eric did not come, maybe, I was stuck in that place,’ Jane guessed. Listening to Eric and Arthur’s conversation before she left, Jane could tell that Eric and Arthur are acquainted with each other. She didn’t have the chance to ask how, but she felt bad that Eric had to associate himself with an evil guy like him. “That guy is rotten from the bone,” Jane said through her clenched teeth. Now that Arthur is gone, she feels braver than before. She thought of punching his face, th
While Lance and Damiel were busy assisting the deliveries, Lance received a call. He stared at the caller’s name for a long time. It is from someone who gives him information about his other job, aside from working in the flower shop. Lance made it clear that he will only answer the call if it is important and if there is something worth reporting. Thinking that he had to answer this no matter what, Lance excused himself and went to the staff room to pick up the call. “What is it?” he asked the person from the other line. Lance listened quietly at the information he got from the other line. When the report ended, his eyes widened in surprise. “Okay. I got it,” Lance murmured before ending the call. Blinking swiftly, he gaped. He couldn’t believe what he just heard just now. “What? Eric beat an investor?” he murmured in dubiety. A moment later, he burst into an amusing laugh. “Eric punched someone? That cowards sh*t did?” This is the first time Lance heard that Eric had a fi
Arthur Monteverde. He is one of the investors in the Geelq company, and also, the man Eric punched yesterday. Intel said that Eric beat Arthur in the coffee shop. But they haven’t shared why, how, and where it happened. Lance, now, has a clue on his grip. He understands the possible reason why Eric lost his patience and it is possible that the fight happened in this place. Certainly, Lance might do the same thing today. He looked at Arthur’s back before Lance stretched his neck and fingers, as if he’s readying for some wild physical activities. When Lance was in high school, he was called ‘the beast’ among the gangsters during his days. No one have the chance to beat him yet. Even though many years have passed by, his fighting skills are still alive and fury inside his body. Lance approached the center of the attention. His eyes turned cold when he saw Arthur raise his hand to Jane. Before the abusive hand landed on her face, Lance caught the man’s wrist and held it tight. Wonde
Everyone will agree that ever since Eric started to work in Geelq, he did all of his best to make the company grow. Although he cannot compete against Cyrus, he gave good service for many years. He did not act on things that will stain the company’s image; that includes having scandals, fights or questionable hobbies. Employees see him as the perfect boss, before, now and forever. But the image that he hardly built for long years is on the verge of getting ruined. The news about Eric beating the Geelq’s investor spread so fast like a contagious disease. He received bashful comments from different sides. Some worry that it might be Eric’s first and last offense as the new CEO of the company. Some believe that maybe he isn’t suited for his position and Cyrus should be the CEO. However, even after knowing what will happen, Eric even came to Jane’s neighborhood to see her. Perhaps he only wanted to hear praise from her and for Jane to say that he did the right thing. He really wanted
Eric sat in front of his desk in his office. The bruise on his cheek and the cut on his lips are still visible. While sitting, Eric recalled the time he saw how Lance hugged Jane. An immense strength settled in his fists which were on the table. ‘Lance really likes her,’ Eric thought. He grew up with Lance. Eric knew that Lance wasn't interested in dating . But this is the first time he saw Lance’s gaze towards Jane. “That person won’t stop until he gets what he wants,” Eric said the bitter truth. The truth which made him envious to Lance. Lance has the courage to follow his heart. Deep inside, Eric wanted to be like Lance. This inferiority complex is what made him despise his competitor. “Why am I thinking about this?” Eric asked himself before he roughly washed his face with his dried palms. Instead of worrying about the painful one-sided love he has for the mother of his child, Eric knew that he had to focus on solving the problem about his rumor and the investor he beat.
Thank you so much for supporting this book! I hope you enjoyed reading from chapter one till the end. I was so excited when I started this book. Time travel was my favorite genre. So, I thought of making a time-travel, with romance, comedy, and slice of life in it. I know that the sm*t parts were so short. (Given that this is rated +18). To be honest, I was skeptical about writing +18 novels. But yeah, I did it. (And I will try again with my new novels hhihi) Once again, thank you for reading this book! You don't need to turn back the time to reread the chapters. However, I pray that you didn't regret reading this and following Jane, Eric, and Eugene's story. I love you, everyone! See you again! (P.S Please do support my other books too^^) (P.S.S If you have any questions regarding the characters in this story, you can put your comments in this section. I will gladly answer anything!)
Three years later… Everyone’s life went on. Lance became the Chairman of D&E. He was busy with work so he didn’t have time for dating. However, his parents would not force him to date anymore. Eugene is in Grade 4. He has a cute girlfriend named Sesali. Marcus hated that Eugene was spending more time with Sesali than playing with him. So Marcus tried his best to get Eugene away from Sesali. Valerie and Chase went abroad. Until now, Cyrus couldn’t forgive them. However, they were willing to wait even if it would take a long time. Cyrus and Haidee got married. They have a cute child daughter named Cydee. Cyrus became the Chairman of the Geelq and he signed a new partnership with D&E. And Eric, ran a flower shop near Jane’s neighborhood. While running a flower shop, Eric was working as Geelq vice president to help his older brother. Cyrus and Eric were still awkward. But they were trying their best to have a good relationship. It’s been three years since Eric decided to follow h
Haidee found Cyrus at the top of the abandoned building. It was their meeting place when they were dating in secret years ago. Catching her breath, Haidee looked at Cyrus. He was standing near the edge, looking afar. “Cyrus!” Haidee called. Cyrus, who went thin because of depression, looked behind. His eyes widened when he saw Haidee. “What… What are you doing?” Die. Cyrus wanted to die. The truth was too painful for him to bear. He lost his unborn child. He took revenge on Haidee. And then, he turned out to be Valerie and Chase’s son? He was so tired. Cyrus only wanted to end his misery. “Are you… going to leave me?” Haidee asked, crying. When Cyrus saw Haidee crying, his heart ached. “How about your promise? You said you will love me forever.” Cyrus frowned. “You said we will save ourselves.” “…” “If you leave me, what will happen to me?” “…” “What will happen to our baby?!” Cyrus’s eyes widened. He walked forward, toward Haidee and asked, “Our… baby?” “Yes. I a
Jane’s POV It’s been a week and three days since the truth was revealed. Valerie and Chase apologized to Eric and they gave us their consent. [“I hurt you and said bad things to you. I was wrong, Miss Jane. I know it is hard to forgive. But as a parent, if Eric will be happier with you, I am glad to let the two of you together. Please take care of my youngest son.”] Valerie and I fixed our relationship. Eric also forgave his parents and decided to mend their broken past. I asked Eugene to forgive his grandmother, and the boy accepted Valerie again. The media was crazy about this at first. But because there was another celebrity scandal, they forgot about us quickly. So far, it has been peaceful. Eric and I started to date. My son was against it and he kept on guarding me while we were inside Eric’s house. But I knew that deep in Eugene’s heart, he likes her father to me. It was good. But two things need to be settled. First, Cyrus fell into depression. Haidee was the only o
Yesterday, the first thing that Eric did after knowing the future was to contact Secretary Byron.[“Find Nurse Jaymee Hamilton. Bring her to the Desmond Mansion. Tell her that if she tells the truth, we will forgive her.”]And so, when Eric said to his parents that Cyrus is their real son, Secretary Byron brought Nurse Jaymee Hamilton.Jaymee said the same thing that she said to Eric in the future.The fact that Cyrus was stolen by Agatha. And Chase didn’t cheat on Valerie. Jaymee told everything she knew, hoping that it would lessen her sin.“T-Therefore, Mr. Cyrus wasn’t A-Agatha’s son,” Jaymee said. She looked at Cyrus and added, “He is your oldest son, Mr., and Mrs. Desmond.”Haidee covered her mouth in shock.Chase and Valerie held their breath. But for Cyrus, he felt as if the world was swirling around him, playing at his feelings.Who are his parents?Valerie and Chase?The people who ignored him for many years?!Watching the scene unfold, Eric and Jane felt pitiful towards bot
After Jane’s first s*x with Eric, she opened her eyes and saw the empty space beside her.But today, when she opened her eyes, she found Eric’s blue eyes. He stared at her as if he was watching the most beautiful opera play he had ever seen.They were naked, but none of them felt shy.Eric smiled sweetly as tucked her hair behind her ear.“Good morning,” his voice, rasp and rough, echoed in her ears and fluttered her heart.Jane closed her eyes and opened them once again.“What is this?” Jane asked. “The past or the future?”He chuckled huskily, and Adam’s apple moved up and down. He leaned closer to Jane.“It’s the present, my love,” he said as he kissed her forehead.His kisses went down her cheek, on her nose, and settled on her lips.The two of them hugged each other, tasting their tongues for their early breakfast.Jane felt as if she was floating in clouds within the arms of her beloved man, college friend, and Eugene’s father.When they parted, they chuckled sweetly.Eric reach
Jane’s POV “Haa…haa…haa…”I almost forgot everything that happened between me and Eric that passionate night years ago. But now, there’s no need to reminisce about it as I was experiencing it again.Catching my breath, I looked down and watched Eric suck my n*pple.Why did we end up having s*x inside my room?We both learned that the two of us love each other and then we came from the future. Then, suddenly, things went heat.‘Eric said that this is his way to bind me with him for the rest of his life. Perhaps, it will be okay.’Because this time, we will marry each other. We will be happy together.“Ahhhh!” a loud man flowed out of my mouth when Eric gently bit my b*d. “E-Eric!”At my call, the man raised his head slightly. And the corner of his lips rose seductively.‘He is really handsome.’ I stared at his face for a moment even though he was biting, cuddling, and sucking on my n*pples.Eric sucked so well that my back moved on its own.“Ahhh, yeah… more…” the words came out inst
In the future, Cyrus looked for anything that would ruin the Desmond family.Haidee already married Eric. And so, Cyrus was more determined to take his revenge.While looking for Desmond's weakness, Cyrus found a nurse, who was looking over the newborn babies when Valerie gave birth to her oldest son.“Y-Your mother, Agatha, stole Valerie’s child.”Cyrus’s world stopped when he heard the truth.“Agatha’s baby died. She gave me money to exchange Valerie’s baby and her baby. Therefore, Agatha ran away with Valerie’s child, and Valerie thought that her baby was dead. After that, Agatha made a scheme. She made Mr. Chase drink alcohol and pretended that she slept with him. She presented the baby, saying that it was her and Chase’s baby. Thus, after the DNA test, Chase and Valerie believed that Agatha’s baby is an illegitimate child. They didn’t know that the baby was their own child.”Cyrus found out that day that he, the lost baby whom Agatha stole, is Valerie and Chase’s real son.The t
Eric and Jane went back to Jane’s apartment. Jane changed her clothes, but Eric hadn’t changed his. They sat in the living room wordlessly. Even though they have kissed in the rain before, there are still uncertain things that Jane wanted to talk about. “Since when?” Jane broke the silence. With wet hair, Eric stared at Jane. “Since when did you remember the future?” Eric stared at her and answered, “Tonight. I only remembered everything tonight.” Jane drew a sharp breath before asking again. “H-How?” Eric’s hands clenched. He lowered his head and answered, “At first, I saw illusions. I thought it was just a weird dream. But after some time, I figured out that it was not. When I saw an image of you and Eugene, I searched for you again, Jane. That’s how I found you here.” “You mean, you saw us from the illusion?” “Yes.” ‘Now that explains why Eric suddenly appeared in our neighborhood,’ Jane realized. “But I am not sure why I saw those. The present and the illusion contr
