Junia's P.O.V

I stood frozen, unable to articulate the flood of emotions surging within me. The fact that I could feel Nicholas enigmatic presence before me felt so surreal as my mouth was slightly agape, causing my heart to race, while I stared at him in nothing but shock.

A bright smile spread across his face and I could swear that if his eyes were the sea, I would gladly drown in them.

The way his sea rover blue eyes sparkled like the rarest of stars caused my heart to pound in my chest. I have sworn that I would never fall in love again but with this man clearly around me, that seemed impossible.

Nicholas Hawthorne towered over me with the unwavering smile still plastered on his face and in that moment, I wished that I could run my hands through his silky hair.

The way he kept his eyes on me and me alone set icy tendrils of fear to slither down my spine— a fear that was unknown no matter how much I searched the depths of my heart.

Was it the fear of his beauty? The fear of me sl

Just breathe” Betty said, concern laced in her voice while I clutched my heart tightly, trying to quell the pain surging inside of me but no matter what, no matter how sharp my mum’s words pierced through my heart, I wouldn't let it break me.

    Ethan"We would not be attending the ball, why would Nicholas Hawthorne invite our company? For what reasons?" I said, my steely gaze locked onto my cousin, Aiden who soon ducked his head before he rose to his feet."I don't know why as well. The only thing that I know is that ever since he got into the limelight, he has been seeing you as his competition. You know he can't actually do anything without him trying to beat us" Aiden said while I leaned in the chair, brushing my fingers underneath my jaw. "Aiden, I don't actually care if Nicholas sees me as his competitor or anything. The sky is wide for all the birds to fly. However, we wouldn't be giving him the publicity that he wants and in regards to that, we wouldn't be attending! Reject the invitation politely" I said while Aiden rolled his sleeves up before scratching his head. Adjusting my sunglasses, I stared intently at him while he soon pursed his lips as he took his gaze off me. In that very moment, I instantly knew that

Anyways, have you gotten your dress for the ball party? What type of dress did you pick?""I am just going into the store now. I hope that I would pick something that I like and probably Nicholas would like it too. I plan on confessing my feelings to him at the ball tonight...." I paused, waiting for her response.Betty screamed and even though she wasn't there with me at the moment, I could feel her happiness for me. "Go girl, it is finally time that you and Nicholas be together. Enough with the anonymous letter and all that romantic nonsense!

Why are you doing all of this Ethan? What have I done to you to deserve all of this? Can't you just agree with me on certain things? What the hell is wrong with you Ethan!" She almost yelled at the top of her lungs while I adjusted my tie, exhaling sharply before staring daggers at her."For your information, we are before the public and if you cause any type of scandal for me by this lousy act of yours, then you wouldn't like what I would do to you. Maddie the last thing that you would want to do is to step on my toes" I attempted to walk past her but she dropped her shopping bags to the floor barricading the way with her body. "You are not leaving Ethan until you tell me why you don't want me to go with you," She screamed at the top of her lungs while a staff member rushed toward us. "I am sorry but you can

Of course, I was more than elated that he had asked me to be his date. I couldn't contain the excitement that was building inside of me just by the mere thoughts of my hands interlocked in his as we would sway to the tune of the mellifluous song that would fill our ears.The eye contact despite the masks.

    Junia's P.O.VI was worried and the annoying thing was that I had no idea about what was happening and the reason why he wasn't here yet. Darting my eyes back to the clock, I couldn't help but to wonder about how serious the reason he had to leave was. "I hope that he is fine" I took another shot with my eyes still fixed intently on the phone. While waiting for Nicholas, other men tried hitting on me and wanted me to be their date for the dance but I politely refused them all, telling them that I was waiting for someone plus I already had a date!My eyes were beginning to get drowsy as I took another shot of alcohol. My mind was just screaming at Nicholas because for the umpteenth time, he wasn't picking his calls nor was he returning any. "What if something bad had happened to him? What if that is the reason why he isn't answering any of my calls?" I bit the corner of my lower lips with my eyes fixed on the screen. I was waiting for him. Where was he?

    EthanSlowly, a soft thud echoed through the air and I found myself feeling the weight of the thud that shook underneath my feet— Junia collapsed to the ground.I was at a loss for words to say, remaining at the same spot while Nicholas Hawthorne rushed towards her and yelled for the medics stationed outside in case of any emergency. They quickly rushed in, lifting Junia into the gurney and while Nicholas attempted to follow her, Jones stopped him. The taste of her lips lingered in my mouth, awakening all of my senses. I was soon jolted out of my thoughts when I saw Nicholas standing before me with a face filled with horror. "What did you just do? How are you even here? Why are you wearing the same suit and using the same mask as mine!" He roared while I fixed a stern gaze on him before accessing him with my eyes. I moved forward, closing the space between us, staring at him right in the eyes. "You sent me an invitation and I honored it. I have always wondered about who could have

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,

    Junia’s P.O.VAfter Two Years Was this how it felt to be all left alone?The loneliness, the heart that ached for someone who just woke up one day and disappeared.“Ethan”On the day that I regained consciousness, I didn’t find myself, the only ones I found by my side were Briella, Jones, and a hand-written letter. 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
