Selena POV “ He has a faint breath” the paramedic said, laying Theo on the gurney.I stood there in panic, praying silently for Theo to push through. The paramedics work desperately trying to revive Theo. Every breathless moment seems to last an eternity as I watch, my heart racing, my hands clenched. I couldn’t take my eyes off them, as if my gaze alone could revive him.Minutes later one of the paramedics slowly rises from the gurney, staring down at Theo’s body as he takes hold of Theo in his arms and I see Theo go pale, the paramedics shake him, lying still he didn't move."I'm so sorry, ma'am," he says softly. "There's nothing more we can do.”His words felt like a dagger stab. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think, my brain went blank, I lost my balance and fell to the ground. Other paramedic try to pick me up but I couldn't move. " It can't be true right? It's a prank right? Where are the cameras?" I asks." Ma'am take heart, he is gone." I can't process what is happening, c
Selena POV " His family can come in!" A woman emerged from the door behind mom and Dad"." You all can go in" one of the guys said to mom, Dad and Jasper?." What about her?" Mom asked." We will hold her back," the other guys replied.I stood there hearing all that they were saying but I couldn't understand anything. I watch Dad, mom and Jasper walking away to the direction where a woman stood behind them. I took a step closer but the two guys blocked my path again I stood there, frozen in place, my mind mixed up with confusion and fear. I watch as mom, Dad and Jasper walk away with the woman, disappearing around the corner and out of sight.For a moment, I'm left alone in the hallway, unsure of what to do or where to go. I feel lost, as if the ground beneath me has disappeared. And then, the sobs start to come, uncontrollable and wracking my body.As the sobs wrack my body, I slip to the floor, my knees buckling beneath you. I bury my face in your hands, tears streaming down my c
Selena POV"Don't you dare turn this on me!" I screamed. "I did everything I could for Theo! I was there for him every single day. You don't know what it's like to love someone that much and then lose them!"Jasper's face turned red in anger. "You think I don't know loss? My own mom died when I was a kid. And now I've lost my son too. But you can't see past your own grief to acknowledge mine." I glare at Jasper, In a fit of rage, I reach for the picture frame on the nightstand and hurl it at Jasper, the glass shattering as it hits the wall behind him."Get out!" I scream, my voice trembling. "Get out of my sight, you selfish bastard! I never want to see you again!”Jasper straightens his back, "Fine," he replied, "If that's what you want. But don't come crying to me when you realize you've made a huge mistake. I can't help you if you won't let me.""Go to hell," I snarl, "You were never here for me, even when I needed you most. You don't deserve to be a part of my life."Jasper lets
Jasper POV" You aren't worth it Jasper, so foolish of me to think you were the one for me Jasper! I regret everything, I regret meeting you, falling for you and accepting you into my life!" Selena said to me with a straight up look, the look on her facing showing what she feels inside.I stood there staring at her unable to say a word." There isn't any need talking to you" she adds. Turned and ran off entering a taxi as the taxi zoomed off." Jasper, don't let her words get to you, you are better than that!" Jennifer held my arm. I stood there, watching Selena drive away, feeling her words like a knife to my heart. I tell myself I shouldn't let her words get to me, that I'm better than that just like Jennifer said, but I knew deep down that i’m hurting.Jennifer's voice pulls him out of my thoughts. "She didn't mean what she said, Jasper. She's just hurting right now," she add, trying to comfort him.I nod, my eyes still fixed on the road where Selena disappeared. "I know. But tha
Selena POVI walked into the house to find it empty, checking the bedroom it was empty too, Jasper wasn't there, I went to my room took out my luggage placing everything I own in it, my clothes, bags and everything. After taking everything I own, I walked into Theo's room, glanced around then stood there for minutes recalling all the fun and everything I had with Theo. I touched all the stuff we used together and the things he used before his demise. After staying for a while I left. I got home to see mom and dad having breakfast. " I thought you went back home" Mom said on seeing me." Oh!" I nod." Why are you back?" Mom gulped down the food on her mouth." I'll be staying here for a while" I replied. I can't tell mom and Dad what happened they will make it worse, all I need right now is to heal from everything, Theo's demise... The separation and everything."What about Jasper?" Dad stopped his meal glancing up at me." Jasper went for a business trip, he won't be back soon." I b
Jasper POV" Are you really going to sell it?" Noah followed behind me." Yes, I need to!" I stopped turning to face him. "I have nothing else to do here in Boston hills"" You have a company here!" Noah pressed." The ByteForge Technology here in Boston hills is just a branch, my main company is in the states, I can leave anytime" I stood my ground." You brought that house when you came back here to Boston Hills after years, You built a branch Company here because of Selena!" Noah snapped, " you did all that thinking of a life with Selena!"" It's gone now!" I retort in anger, " she cheated on me, she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, I saw it with my eyes Noah, I saw her kissed another man Noah!"" Maybe it's a misunderstanding!"" It's not, I saw it myself, I waited years because of her, I waited years because of her relationship with Colin. well finally after getting back with her not even up to two years she's with someone else now, what do you expect I do? Wait?" I E
Jasper POV" Sir!" The managing director and some staff glanced at each other." You'll be sending daily reports to me, and I'll be sending a visitor to the company every time, make sure you don't slack off because I'm not here!"" No, I won't sit," he shaked his head, swallowing hard, trying to hide the uncertainty that's written all over his face. " We'll be sure to keep things running smoothly in your absence. But... if I may ask, sir, where are you going?""That's not for you to worry about. Just focus on doing your job, and everything will be fine."The staff exchange nervous glances, unsure of what to say or do next.With nothing else to say I turned to leave. "Keep me updated," I called over my shoulder. "And don't disappoint me."I walked round the company for the last time before heading to my car, got in and zoomed off."I'll take the car, you don't need to sell it" Noah took my car key from the table as soon as I told him I can't take my car with me to the states so I'll be
Jasper POV"Valerie?" " Yes sir, should I let her in?" The staff asked.Contemplating for a while I nod, " yes!"" Sir, what about....."" Continue with it, you're doing great" I said to Mr Morris who nod and left.“Hi!” Valerie walked into my office smiling.Why is she here? And what could she possibly want? I wondered. “It's been a while." She walked closer.“I didn't expect to see you here." I smiled awkwardly.“Oh,” She shrugs, " I thought it was time to catch up.” She took a step closer to me "So, how have you been?" I shifts in myseat, feeling uneasy under her gaze. "I've been... fine. Just busy with work." I leaned back on my office chair. Acting at ease while deep down I really don't know why she is here!”Valerie laughed and took a seat opposite, “don't play coy with me, Jasper. I know you've been busy with more than just work." She paused, shaking her head "And I think you know exactly why I'm here."I narrowed my eyes trying to get what she meant, "What is it?"She smil

I walked into the bedroom to see Aviva seated wearing a red lingeries. " huh!" I pulled my suit off, and was about jumping on her when she stretched a kit to my face. I stared at the pregnancy test in shock,while Aviva smiled.“Well, It's like you’re going to be a Dad soon.”I laughed, placing my hand on my lips “You are one sneaky woman, Aviva,” I pulled her close for a hug. “I can’t be more happie

" I'm sorry Aviva i would need to stay another two weeks" " What do you mean you....But Levi, the wedding,” she stammered, “We can’t put it off any longer.”"I know, But the company needs me. I have to stay. I’m so sorry.”“But Levi,” she protested, “I don’t understand! How could you do this to me?”“I never wanted this to happen.”“Well, it did happen!” she snapped, “And now our wedding is ruined. “You don’t understand, I have to do this!”“And what about me?” she cried out, “Do I not matter anymore? Do our plans not matter anymore?” she yelled back. " I'm a laughing stock now, being told my soon to be husband ran off" she yelled again on the phone. I felt my heart sink as Aviva’s words.

Aviva POVI Stared at the ring as Levi slid it into my fingers. This moment is everything I had ever dreamed of, everything I had ever wanted. I couldn’t believe all we had been through, after all the pain and heartache, Levi was still here. He had forgiven me, and he loved me a situation that has been both humbling and exhilarating.I couldn’t stop staring at the ring. As I looked up from the ring, Levi’s face was filled with happiness and relief. “I love you, Aviva,” he whispered.I smiled, my heart fluttering. “I love you too, Levi,” I said, pulling him closer for a kiss. “I promise to love and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.” I pulled him up and we embraced, the waves crashed against the shore, the sound of the ocean mingling with the beating of my hearts."Congratulations!" i got startled by the loud shout from behind me, i looked back to see Mom, Levi's mom, dad and his friends with lots of other people. Levi laughed softly, wrapping his arms around me.“I figur
Levi POVFIVE MONTHS LATER. It's been five months now, Aviva is doing better and so am I. For the past months I've been searching for the right time to make it official but it hasn't been easy and I really want this to be a special day that can't be forgotten but how? I keep asking myself.The past five months had been filled with whirlwind of emotions, as Aviva and I worked together to heal the wounds left by Elara’s treachery. But through it all, our love had grown stronger. And it’s the best time to make it forever. I found myself staring out the window, I smiled, a sudden idea forming in my mind. Perhaps that was it….the perfect setting for what I had in mind. But how? i keep asking myself, i want to make it alright but it's..... I sighed. The idea of doing that was both exhilarating and terrifying.She’s the love of my life, the one person who had seen me at my weakest and still loved me unconditionally. But how to make it special? I paced the floor, my thoughts racing with idea
Levi POV I stared at Aviva, happy she came to terms with what happened and at the same time careful and hoping i'm making the right decision, i love her so much and the thought of her betraying me was so..... I looked into her eyes, I saw the love and devotion there, but also the regret and remorse for her past mistakes.She had betrayed me, there was no doubt about that. But I couldn’t help but feel that there was still something worth fighting for between us.I took her hand in mine, feeling the warmth and comfort of her touch. It felt so right, so familiar, as if our connection transcended the pain and mistrust of the past.We stood there, in silence, my mind raced with thoughts of the future. What would happen to us, now that we had decided to give things another try? Could we truly move past the pain and hurt of the past, or would the scars of Elara’s betrayal linger on. And yet, as I looked into Aviva’s eyes, I knew that this was a risk worth taking. I had loved her before, a
Aviva POV I stared at the camera in tears, Mom couldn't stand anymore and she almost fell down and was held. " What will you do to Elara Rutherford, I mean Paige?" the reporter asked, and immediately i cleared my tears, " All we want is justice, i want her to rot in hell where she belongs, finding out she ruined my dad's business to ruin our family and had to deceive me into walking for her is absurd and inhuman," I replied, shaking from tears. The cameras flashed and the reporter pushed for more. My heart ached, Mom’s sobs ringing in my ears as I struggled to find the words to convey the depth of my despair.“Elara Rutherford is a monster,” I exclaimed, recalling everything I've gone through since Dad’s passing. “She took everything from me. My father, my home, my future. And for what? For her own twisted satisfaction?” I closed my eyes, the image of Dad’s smiling face when I was younger “I wish I could see him one more time,” I whispered, the pain in my chest almost unbearable. “I
Levi POVThe guard’s eyes widened in surprise, a look of shock and anger on their faces. “You little bastard!” he snarled, lunging forward again.But this time, I was ready. I sidestepped his advance, my fist punching his jaw in a swift, powerful strike with all my strength.The guard stumbled back, his eyes rolling back in his head as he collapsed to the ground. I didn’t waste a moment. I dove towards the gun, grabbing it just as the first guard charged at me.I aimed the gun at the first guard, my finger trembling on the trigger. “Don’t move,” I shouted with a newfound confidence. “Don’t make me shoot.”The guard hesitated, his expression shifting from anger to fear. “What do you want?” he asked, his voice shaky with terror.I smirked, my eyes narrowing.“Sorry to disappoint you, But you’re going to wish I was dead by the time I’m through with you.”The guard took a step backwards, his eyes darting around the room. with my last strength I fought against him. The guard stumbled backwar
Levi POVMom’s face changed and her voice shaked in fury. “You monster,” she spat, her hands trembling at her sides. “You destroyed my life. You destroyed everything I loved.”Elara laughed out loud, “And now I’m going to destroy your son,” she said. “And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”My heart pounds while my blood boiled as I listened to Elara’s taunts. I wanted nothing more than to burst out of my hiding spot and confront her, to make her pay for what she had done to my family. But I knew I couldn’t. Not yet. Not until we had the proof we needed to bring her down for good.I watched as mom screamed in pain,“You’re wrong,” she yelled. “You may have taken everything else from me,” Mom continued, “But you will never take my son. Never!.”Elara’s smile faded, “You think you can stop me? You’re pathetic. Weak. You’re no match for me.” “You underestimate me, Paige, And you underestimate my son.”“ Don't even go there!”" Killing Colin doesn't mean you are all that, you killed
Levi POVThe paramedics were swarming around us, pulling us from the wreckage, shouting instructions and checking for injuries. I could barely understand what they were saying, my mind still reeling from the shock of the crash.“James!” I called out, searching for him amidst the chaos. “James, where are you?”A moment later, one of the paramedics led him over to me, his face covered in blood and bruises.“Boss,” he said, his voice weak but alive. “We made it. We actually made it.”The paramedics loaded us into the ambulance, as they checked our vitals and monitored our injuries. I was in shock, my body shaking uncontrollably.“You’re going to be okay, Mr,” one of the paramedics assured me. “Just hold tight, we’re almost there.”I nodded, too exhausted to do anything else. And as the ambulance sped away, I found myself thinking of Aviva.realizing she did well by deciding to stay in Global reach, it's obvious who did this to me. Elara and I'm certain the authorities informed her about
