COME BACK TO ME...Jason's POV ❤️I couldn't sleep well the previous night because of what I said to Bianca.What was I thinking? Lying to her like that?I was panicking like crazy right now. What do I do?Oh no! Why did I have to lie to her?I had a dream last night; no, it was a nightmare. I had a nightmare that Bianca found out I lied to her and she broke up with me and because of that, I couldn't sleep.I couldn't let that happen.I have to come up with a plan and fast."Good morning, babe." She called out to me.I didn't know when she woke up. I turned my head to look at her and she was smiling broadly.Well...at least one of us had a good night rest."Good morning to you too." I responded and gave her a mild kiss on her forehead and she giggled softly."Going to work today?" She asked me while getting off from bed."No, I want to work on the t-shirt." I responded to her with a smile.I could see the tears gathering up in her eyes. She was about to cry again.She shouldn't do thi
THE PROTEST Jason's POV ❤️I made a print of 30 tee shirts and about one hundred fliers to go round. I had already come up with a plan and that was to pay people to protest.They were all gathered round after they heard me saying I was going to pay them.What people do for money."Okay, so line up. I'll only be picking 30 people." I announced and they all rushed to form a queue.A lot of people went home after the 30 people I needed were completed.All these people out here just because of money? But none of them showed up when I wasn't offering money."Okay everyone. Thank you so much for taking part in something like this, I really appreciate all of you. As we all know, Green Co is planning to cut down the forest but we are not going to allow that. So please, put down your names and phone number in this notebook so I can reach out to you." I told them."Sorry? When will we be getting our money?" Someone from the back of the line spoke."You will all get your money right after the
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?...Jason's POV ❤️He exuded an intimidating aura as he approached. Despite being a fellow man, I couldn't help but feel intimidated by him. His eyes remained fixed on Bianca as he carefully made his way toward her.Finally standing in front of her, he closed the gap, leaving only a meter of distance between them. I couldn't fathom why Bianca seemed so calm in this situation. Her glare held intense malice, clearly indicating her deep hatred for him.Yes, she must truly despise him and have already resolved to save the forest and take down Charles Bandra, if possible. I was relieved that she wasn't intimidated and remained resolute in her cause. The least I could do was stay calm and vigilant.Two of his bodyguards came to each of his sides and stood there. Maybe they sensed Bianca as a threat. They were both heftily build and even intimidating as their boss, I was beginning to panic again. Was Bianca going to be alright?"How much do you want?" He announced a
SECOND CHANCE?...Bianca's POV ❤️I scoffed upon seeing his text. What does he want from me? Why was he acting like he cared about me when he doesn't at all?I saw him have sex with another woman when we haven't even broken up at all. He is a liar, a cheat and a fraud."What do you want from me?" I texted him, replying to his text.My phone showed three dots, he was typing back. I wasn't in the mood for this. I just finished giving a blow job and hand job to my boss and he loved it. I still haven't gotten over how I felt at bliss about pleasing him to his satisfaction, I couldn't let Jason ruin how I was feeling."Babe, I'm so sorry for everything I said and did. I didn't mean it. It was a big mistake." He typed and added a crying emoji to his text.Everything? He left me alone in the middle of nowhere. He accused me of being at fault. He paid people to protest with me. My self confidence, my pride, everything that I stood for was seen as a joke. I was disrespected by total stranger
YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME Bianca's POV ❤️Kumiko and I spoke on length that I forgot about meeting up with Jason. It was so fun having someone to talk to after everything that had happened. I wished she was here with me, but I didn't want her to face even a bit of what I was facing. I missed her so much.She kept on lamenting about how Charles was a psycho and it really cracked me up. She must really despise him."So, you said he strangled her. Aren't they like dating?" She asked. I was also curious too. Were they dating or not? He didn't act like they were but she was definitely head over heels in love with him. Wasn't she ashamed? He didn't even bat her an eyelid, it was so obvious he didn't feel the same way for her. I was very sure he despised her guts cause who on earth attempts to kill the person he is dating or in love with? No one. Kumiko was right, he was definitely a psychopath."Beats me! I seriously don't know, I'm as confused as you are. All I know is, you don't treat y
HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY Bianca's POV ❤️I was completely lost in my thoughts that I had almost forgotten about Jason again.He hurriedly ran to where I was and hugged me. His face was lit up, he must be really excited to see me."Won't you come in?" He asked me, dragging me towards the direction of his door and smiling throughout. He was really cute.I yanked my hands away from his and kept some distance between us."No need for that, you can say what you want to say right here." I uttered.He looked at me in disbelief and went ahead to speak."I know you're mad at me for what I did and I'm so sorry. It's just that... I won't lie to you Bianca, I'm confused. I woke up the next morning and couldn't find you. What is wrong?" He said, looking confused.Was he serious right now? He was trying to act clueless. Didn't he know what he did to me?"Let me go straight to the point, it's over between us!" I muttered under my breath.I didn't know what I was saying. Did I truly want to break up w
WHATEVER IT TAKESJane's POV ❤️The look in his eyes showed how disgusted he was by my behavior. I shouldn't have brought her up, I shouldn't have said anything about her to him. It was mere luck that I found him after all those years, and he actually spoke to me and even accepted to have a drink with me.I got so excited and ahead of myself. I couldn't hide the excitement and the fact that I finally saw him. I missed him, I missed his smile, his kisses and his hot sex. I missed everything about him. I don't know why I even broke up with him, he was perfect."Ma'am! Here is your coffee." The cute red-haired barista behind the counter jolted me back to reality and away from my thoughts. I stared at her, looking confused. I had totally forgotten I ordered coffee. She smiled at me, looking so impatient and repeated the words she said to me earlier."Here is your coffee, ma'am." She said with a smile.She must be really infuriated by me, but she was trained well not to be rude to custome
DRUNK IN LOVEJane's POV ❤️He looked disturbed also in his sleep as he kept on murmuring something. Was everything okay with him? The fight he had with Bianca must have been quite serious. I had to get him home fast.He called me to have a drink with him, that meant that he was all alone and Bianca wasn't with him, this was certainly the time to strike.I remembered where he lived, and I drove him to his apartment. Luckily for me, he still lived there. I got him out of the car, careful enough not to wake the slumbering figure that was passed out in the passenger seat of the car.My phone rang. Still holding Jason by his waist and supporting him, I picked the call and it was Bob calling me. What does he want? "What?" My tone was ferocious as Bob's voice filled my ear, and I was careful enough not to wake Jason up."Relax, no need to bite my head off." Bob mocked me. "Your car is still here, when are you going to come back to get it? We are about to close." He said.Oh no! I totally f
Hi, readers ❤️ We have finally come to end of this chapter. Words can't reveal how much this means to me 💞 It took me two years or more to complete this book (I lost count), but I'm finally done. Yayyyyy 🥳💅 Thanks to everyone who was still sticking around with me even after my irregular uploads and updates. Thank you so much for trusting me and trusting the process cause it got to a point where I wasn't even sure of what I was doing. This is my first novel ever but in my opinion, it turned out far better than I had imagined (I tried for my first attempt). I made lots of errors, deviated from the story line a little bit, and there were days where I felt like giving up, but I'm extremely glad I didn't and that I pushed through. "You wouldn't know unless you try!" This has been my go to quote, my inspiration whenever I felt like giving up. Although it took me two years to complete it, there's no need for me to be hard on myself. So, this is my special thanks to everyone for stickin
HAPPILY EVER AFTER EPILOGUEBianca's POV ❤️"Charlesssss, hurry!!!" I screamed, a hint of impatience in my voice. "My gosh, what’s taking you so long?""Coming, babe!" Charles called back, but there was still no sign of him.Charles and I had been living on the island—my island—for a week now. He seemed to be starting to forget the weight of what happened to his brother, or maybe he was just trying to forget. One thing I knew for sure was how much happier he seemed now. He wasn’t completely over the past, but he was making progress, letting go of the guilt he had carried for so long.Since I owned the island now, I invited Zac and Kumiko to join us. It would be more fun with all of us together, and they were already on their way.I heard the door open behind me, followed by a hand wrapping around my waist. Charles kissed my neck, and I shivered. Now wasn’t the time for this. I couldn’t get distracted right now."Hey, little one. Sorry I took so long.""It's fine." I replied, but then
THE END OF A LOVE STORY Charles's POV ❤️ Bianca’s tears flowed freely, soaking into my shoulder as I held her close. Her trembling shoulders pressed against me, and I couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride and relief. I stroked her hair gently as she cried tears of joy into my shoulder. Each soft sob echoed the overwhelming happiness she felt. Seeing her this happy—it made everything worth it. She was happy, and that was all that mattered to me. Her grip on the documents tightened as though she feared they might disappear if she let go. “I love you so much, Bianca,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. “I love you more than I can ever say. Thank you for staying with me.” She pulled back slightly, just enough to look into my eyes, her own brimming with gratitude. “Charles, thank you for everything. Thank you for believing in me, for fighting for me, for... this.” Her gaze flicked down to the papers in her hands. "Thank you for everything, Charles. Thank you," she said betwee
THE BEGINNING OF THE END VIJason's POV ❤️The bar wasn’t crowded, but it wasn’t quiet either. A low hum of conversations mixed with clinking glasses created a steady rhythm. I sat in a corner booth, my fingers nervously tapping against the wooden table. The glow of the overhead light made the transparent liquid in my glass shimmer, but I hadn’t touched it. It had been three weeks since I met Mabel. Three weeks since she found me broken, bleeding, and lost. And now, even after I had been discharged from the hospital, she was still here. I couldn’t shake the thought—why does she care so much?I didn’t deserve her kindness. I hadn’t even fully healed emotionally. I still haven't fully gotten over Bianca yet, even though I knew she had found her happiness elsewhere. Meeting Mabel had been like finding a lifeline I didn’t know I needed. But was it fair to her? “Hey, Jason,” a familiar voice called out, soft yet vibrant. I glanced up and spotted Mabel near the entrance of the bar we h
WELCOME TO GREEN ISLAND II Bianca's POV ❤️ We had finally arrived at the island, and the sight before me stole my breath all over again. The expanse of the crystal-clear ocean shimmered under the golden sun, its waves crashing gently against the shore in a soothing rhythm. The air carried a salty tang, mingled with the earthy scent of the surrounding forest, which seemed greener and more vibrant than I remembered. As Charles and I stepped off the jet, my arm wrapped snugly around his, I couldn’t help but drink it all in. Everything felt surreal, like stepping into a painting that was somehow more alive than reality. It was astounding. Standing by the dock, Mr. Matthews was already waiting for us. It was almost as if he had some sixth sense for our arrival—or maybe he had just been standing there for hours, keeping himself entertained with the ocean waves, but the warm smile on his face showed no sign of impatience. In the distance stood the house, the only structure on the is
THE START OF A NEW BEGINNING Charles's POV ❤️It was finally the day to leave for the island. Mr. Tusch was driving, and Bianca and I sat in the backseat. She hummed a cheerful tune, her legs swinging back and forth like an overexcited kid. I couldn’t help but marvel at how effortlessly childish she could be. The drive was smooth, and soon, we arrived at my private airport. My jet stood waiting, sleek and ready for takeoff. Mr. Tusch brought the car to a halt. The moment the engine cut off, Bianca flung the door open and bolted toward the jet, her excitement spilling over. Meanwhile, my bodyguards approached. Two opened the door for me while the others began unloading the luggage from the trunk. “Welcome, Master Charles,” they chorused, their voices perfectly synchronized. Bianca paused mid-step when she realized I wasn’t following her. She turned back, hands on her hips, her expression somewhere between amused and impatient. “See you soon, Master Charles,” Mr. Tusch said w
REST WELL, MOTHER!Charles's POV ❤️It had been two weeks since Bianca was discharged from the hospital. With consistent physiotherapy and medication, she could walk again—though she still needed the wheelchair on some days.I glanced at the clock for the hundredth time in ten minutes, tapping my foot impatiently. Bianca was taking forever."Bianca!" I yelled, my voice carrying a mix of frustration and amusement."Coming, babe! Just five more minutes!" she called back, her tone cheerful.She'd been saying "five more minutes" for over an hour now. At this rate, we would miss the event entirely and that couldn't happen.I sighed in defeat and sank onto the couch, switching on the TV."...and in other news, Axel Bandra, the brother of business tycoon and multi billionaire Charles Bandra, has been found guilty and arrested for murder. Yes, you heard that right. Axel admitted to his crimes, along with several others, and is set to face trial tomorrow. He..."The reporter’s voice droned on,
IN YOUR ARMS, AGAIN!BIANCA'S POV ❤️I reached for an apple slice, but paused mid-motion when I noticed Charles. He hadn’t touched his burger. Instead, he was staring at his hands, his fingers clasped tightly together as if grounding himself.There was something different about him—something hesitant, almost fragile, and entirely unlike the Charles I was used to. The quiet between us stretched, the tension growing as he shifted slightly in his seat."Bianca," he said at last, breaking the silence, his voice soft and trembling.I glanced up from my apple, his tone catching my attention and catching me off guard. His burger sat untouched on the table, the scent of melted cheese and grilled beef wafting faintly in the air. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. He wasn’t looking at me but instead at his hands, which were clasped tightly together that his knuckles were beginning to turn white."No matter what happens," he said slowly, his voice almost a whisper, "and no matte
THE REUNION Bianca's POV ❤️The soft hum of a machine accompanied the warmth of sunlight that streamed through the thin hospital curtains, pooling on the bed, warming my face and forcing me awake. The hospital room smelled faintly of antiseptic, but the warmth of strong arms around my waist made it feel less lonely. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the heater and the steady rhythm of someone breathing beside me.Blinking against the light, I turned my head slowly, my heart softening at the sight of Charles sleeping next to me, his face mere inches from mine. In sleep, he looked so peaceful. His features, usually sharp with worry and determination, were relaxed while he was asleep. His furrowed brow relaxed, the usual tension in his jaw gone as it was no longer clenched as it usually was, and the faint lines on his forehead had smoothed out. It was as though the weight of the world on his shoulders had finally lifted for the first time in ages, leaving him at ease. His
