Junia’s P.O.V

I turned slowly, swinging my head in Aiden’s direction with my brows furrowing in confusion. At that moment, I wondered how long he had been listening to the conversation between me and Ethan since he wasn’t inside all along.

Ethan arched a brow to the left, staring intently at him. “Is there anything wrong with that? Now that I think about it, you have been acting strange these days. Don’t forget that you told me that you didn’t want the position!”

Aiden forced out a smile. “Really? Did I say that”

Ethan exchanged fleeting glances with me before he shrugged as his shoulders slumped. “I don’t understand you anymore cousin. I have always wanted to give you this position and you declined numerous times. I don’t mean to be harsh but what exactly is your problem?”

Aiden ran his hands through his hair, forcing out an awkward laughter. “There is nothing wrong. I was just out of it for a second, I wanted to do a jump scare…..” His words trailed before he finally said. “I guess t

    Ethan’s P.O.VWhy was Aiden behaving strangely these days? It seemed more like he was traumatized from something and no matter how much I tried to get him to speak, I always failed at it. Maybe he needed a break or something. My gaze landed on the tickets to Thailand that I had gotten for him. As soon as he steps foot in the office, that is what I would be presenting him with. On the other hand, I had a business meeting that I needed to attend in the next hour. Like that, I managed to get Michaela arrested and the annoying thing was that she requested to see me and till she was charged to court, I had no plans of meeting her. My mind wandered off to Junia and the offer that I had made her. The only thing that I wished for was that she would accept the offer. I scrolled through my phone, checking the messages that I had sent her while reminding her about the offer that I had made her. Wasn’t it ridiculous that she read all the messages and chose not to reply? Maybe I should just

    Nicholas’s P.O.VMy upper lips curled up in a smile as I pressed the phone to my ear. “Did you do what I told you to? Did it work?”She rasped over the phone. “I don’t know if it worked but all I know is that my words seemed to have affected him. But as for that nosy bastard, he didn’t believe my words”“Maddie,” I laughed. “What!” “Nothing serious though, if you stick to the script, you will get what you want and hopefully, I will give you the money that you requested unless you don’t run your mouth about me to Ethan. Can I even trust you to keep what we had together a secret till the very end”Maddie heaved a sigh over the phone. “Nicholas, I am swearing with my life that I would never do something like that. I have sworn my allegiance to you already and why would I even run my mouth about you when you have already promised me to give me all the things that I requested” She said and somehow, her words kind of soothed the inside of me. It made me feel like I could trust her. All sh

    Junia's p.o.vI gnawed on my fingers at the same time, glancing at my phone that was next to me as I stared at Briella's picture that appeared on my phone's screen.There was something weird about her. I didn't want to admit it but it seemed more like she was now a different person and something about her caused fear to gnaw at me."Should I tell her about Ethan's offer?" I muttered to myself."No, she wouldn't accept that" I ended up hissing before running my hands through my hair frustratedly. Maybe I was just overthinking things regarding Briella. It was normal for people to change but Briella's change felt so sudden that I could feel the hairs on my body stand to the very end. Something was wrong somewhere and I knew it even though I couldn't place what exactly was wrong. I took in a deep breath, trying to calm the rate at which my heart juddered in my chest. "I should visit her. I should clear my suspicion about her by checking up on her" Amidst the thoughts of Briella that ov

"Ethan!""What did you do that for!” I yelled, totally at a loss for words to say and at the same time, trying to place one and two together because how in the world did everything go from me trying to surprise her to her hitting me with a plank?She expelled a sigh of relief, placing her hands on her chest before she drew a ragged breath. I sucked in between my teeth, gripping her by the shoulders gently."What is wrong, Junia? Why are you outside by this time?" I asked her while she raised her head as her eyes met mine. She prised my hands off her shoulder, eyeing me before she tucked the strand of hair that fell on her face behind her ear then slowly she cleared her throat. "I should be asking you that question! What are you doing outside my house at this time?"I glanced behind her, staring intently at the house whose light kept flickering. "Something happened right?"Junia hit her hand

"I can't believe that he is dead!...""Who?" I drummed my fingers on the keyboard, peeling my eyes from his face. Aiden's shoulders slumped as he plopped into the chair across from me. "Pedro!" My fingers were caught midway in the air, darting my eyes towards him before fixing my gaze back to the computer. "So?""So?" Aiden reiterated.I responded. "He who plays with fire would surely get burnt! His death has always been inevitable"Silence reigned between Aiden and I before he finally spoke. "You are not scared?""Why would I be scared?

    Junia’s P.O.VMy stomach lurched when I heard the devastating words that Aiden said about me. His words affected me and it wasn't because he was wrong, it was because he was damn right!I was using Ethan the same way he did. I guess that made us even. I bit on the sandwich, almost squirming in the chair as soon as I noticed that Ethan’s gaze lingered on my face. I raised my head, locking eyes with him. “Why are you not eating?” Ethan’s lips curved into a smile as he leaned forward. “I want to watch you eat”Okay! Why did my stomach flutter right now?I cleared my throat. “We came to have lunch together. You didn't come to watch me eat”l took another bite of the sandwich. Ethan heaved an exasperated sigh and I was about to sip on my drink when he caught my hands midway.

    Ethan’s P.O.VOne thing I never expected was for Junia to take the documents from me without going through a back-and-forth agreement with me concerning why she didn't need my help. To my surprise, she accepted it like I had wanted but at the same time, I couldn’t help but think that there was something that was bothering her. The annoying thing was that no matter how much I asked her, she never opened up to me, and trying to know what exactly was going on in her mind was something that I found to be tedious.I untied my robe, handing it over to the maid who lowered her head in reverence for me before she scuttled away. I took a glass of wine from the other staff while taking a sip of it before handing it back to her. Slowly, I submerged myself into the pool, the warm water enveloped me as I dipped my head inside. I swam towards the maid who stood by the side of the pool as she handed me the glass of wine. Taking a sip of the wine, I asked. “Has she come out of her room yet?”She

Ashlyn, my oldest child, a perfect replica of her father, shook her head. “How can you hate the snow? We should play in the snow tomorrow…”Ethan shook his head. “No!”She pouted. “Yesterday, Andre and I played in the snow alongside Mum but because you caught a cold. You couldn’t play with us but since you are getting better, can you just play with us tomorrow”She darted her eyes towards me, her eyes glinting as she pleaded. “Mum, can you tell him….”I sighed. “Baby, your dad isn’t feeling too well at the moment. You don’t want him to catch a cold again, right? You know he doesn’t listen to me again and he only listens to you!”Ashlyn gasped, snapping her fingers as she jumped on Ethan. “That is right,

The letter read;“Dear Junia, I am sure that by the time you are reading this letter, you will have regained consciousness. I am sorry that I am writing this to you while hiding in the dark like a coward but I can’t bring myself to face you. I feel like meeting me has brought you a lot of trouble which I would never forgive myself for. I couldn’t even keep to my words of me protecting you, I wallow in regret, sadness, and grief every day”“But, amidst all of this, you are still very dear to my heart. If fate wants, we will meet again in a happy and healthy state. I hope that you forgive me for causing you a lot of pain. I love you, Junia.”Then he disappeared like the wind

    Nicholas’s P.O.V**After A Few Months**Was it worth it?The things that I did, the people’s blood that I soiled my hands with. Was it worth it? Now, I lost everything and the only thing that remained was me wallowing in regrets. If I had taken things differently, then I was sure that I wouldn’t be in this situation!I was reduced to a pauper, I had all of my funds seized and somehow, the Government confiscated everything that I owned. I was left with nothing but sorrow. Why did I do this to myself? Wasn’t it quite appalling that the one behind all of this was never found? What happened on that island after I was arrested? Now that I thought about it, turning myself in was the best decision that I have ever made. After the dramatic turns on the island, someone or an organization went after almost all the members of the cartel, totally wiping some off while some were arrested. It was more like a huge sweep over that shook the entire country. Another mysterious thing was that whoe

How could so much happen in a day?When the rhythmic thud of rotor blades pierced through the air, I was supposed to breathe a sigh of relief, to be happy with the fact that help was here at last. But that wasn’t the case, staring at Junia’s motionless body as she lay in her blood. On the other hand, it was Aiden, the one that I trusted. Was this the end? No! It was the beginning of how miserable my life will be from now. Empty, desolate, and void. I wiped off my tears, at the same time, darting my eyes at the television. The news was on and it was about Nicholas who had finally been arrested and how Aiden was wanted. Tears formed in my eyes again. It was so painful and suffocating. I was so suffocated. **Flashback** Nicholas tossed the plank as his chest heaved up and down. “I wanted to run away but I saw the two of you from the shore. I saw how you were willing to protect her even if it all led to a dead end”“I felt ashamed of myself an

    Ethan’s P.O.V“We have to leave this place as fast as possible, there is a helicopter that is currently waiting for us”Junia breathed heavily, glancing behind her as we ran deep inside the island’s forest. She placed her hands on her chest, muttering under her breath. “How were you able to find me?”She pursed her lips slightly, tears glinting in her eyes. “I am sorry, I should have listened to you when you told me to wait for you. I was just concerned for my sister”I swallowed. “Don’t say anything. Just run if you want to see BriellaThankfully, I was grateful that I had listened to my instincts when something kept bugging me to add a tracker to her necklace. It was as if I knew that something crazy was bound to happen because first of all, Nicholas’s name wasn’t on the guest list just for his name to be added last minute. At that very moment, I knew that something was amiss. “I tracked you here! Don’t just worry about anything, when we get to the helicopter, we can talk about ev

He was the standard and he always did the bare minimum but still, everyone was like, be like your cousin Ethan. So isn’t being like Ethan actually doing the same things that he did?”My face scrunched up in confusion. “I knew that he liked Junia from the very beginning. I liked the same things that he liked, hated the things that he hated! I wanted everything that he had and no matter how much it takes, I did everything to get it”“As much as I liked him, he didn’t deserve the happiness that he had. Junia was the one who built him up so I thought, what if I snatched Junia away from him? Everyone would realize that he couldn’t do anything on his own so I used you!”He continued. “I used his weakness, Maddie! Despite everything that I did, he and Junia found their way together. I tried to tear them apart by using you, using Briella’s situation but still, they foun

    Nicholas’s P.O.VThrough the help of the yacht that was already stationed at the sea behind the house, I was able to get Junia to the island and finally, I was glad that it was all over. Finally, she was mine and in the end, it was just me and her in a world without Ethan Blackwood. I watched as she shivered and I pulled the duvet over her, tucking the strands of hair that were on her face behind her ear. She was breathtaking! She was everything that I had ever wanted. My voice was barely above a whisper as I stroked her in the hair. “It is just you and me from now. We are going to have beautiful kids that will make you forget about Ethan!”She groaned, talking in her sleep. “Ethan, Ethan, Ethan,” She mumbled. The smile on my face suddenly vanished, replaced by a frown! Why would she mention his name when I was clearly before her? I lowered my head, pressing my lips on her cheeks. “Very soon, you will learn to mention my name alone”I heaved an exasperated sigh but at the same ti

    Junia’s P.O.VI was so uncomfortable with the way Nicholas stared at me! It wasn’t only annoying but it made my blood boil because why in the world was he staring at me like that after the warning that had been issued to him by Ethan? While Ethan conversed with some of his friends at the event, I talked with a few people that I knew but despite all of that, I could feel Nicholas’s eyes bore into my face. His eyes almost pierced into my soul and it made me so uncomfortable. Anxiety crept at the back of my neck and I had no option but to dart my eyes towards him. I raised a brow at the same time glaring at him. “What do you want from me? Why do you keep on staring at me?” I sent him a text and he checked his phone almost immediately. He read my message, didn’t say a word nor did he type back. All he did was stare. He was a lost cause! Why did I even text him in the first place? I was sure that he had mental issues as well because if he didn’t, then why was he acting like a creep?

Jones sent the address that Briella had sent to him and it was another whole different address from the one that Briella had given me. Someone was playing games right now! I was snapped out of my thoughts when the door swung open and Ethan poked his head inside. He heaved a sigh on seeing the worry that was etched on my face. I rushed towards him, pulling him in a hug. I wrapped my hands around him while he patted me on the back. “Junia, you are going to smudge your makeup”On the realization, I withdrew from his embrace, darting my eyes toward his tuxedo that was already stained with my foundation. “I am sorry, I would clean it now”Ethan laughed. “Why would you clean it when I can buy another one? You don’t have to worry about that and on the other hand, you don’t have to worry about Briella. I have everything under control”I stared deep into his eyes. “Ar
