Ethan's POV

The drive back home was quiet, I had never seen Junia this broken in a long while and somehow, I wanted to know the thoughts that went through her mind.

I wanted to hear her deepest thoughts and at the same time, I was glad that I ruined her day— now that I thought about it, it was more like I saved it.

We both sat in silence while she stared out the window fiddling with her fingers.

With a hand on the steering wheel, I halted before the traffic light, waiting for the light to turn green when she shifted, " You should stop staring at me through the corner of your eyes?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.

I coughed and laughed at the same time, in an attempt to hide my awkwardness, "What makes you think that I would stare at you when I have to make sure that we don't get into a car accident" I pulled right into the compound.

She chuckled slightly, turning to look at me with those amber eyes, gleaming like the galaxies were gathered inside.

Junia would be the end of me

    Junia’s P. O. V My eyes fluttered open slowly as a groan left my lips. I tossed and turned on the bed, amidst stretching as well but while I did all of that, I couldn't help but notice something weird about the bed that I slept on.There was just something about this bed that I couldn't decipher. Why did it feel familiar and unfamiliar at the same time? “This doesn't seem like my bed” I muttered to myself, my gaze fixed on the clock that ticked slowly. At that very moment, the aroma of bacon and omelet wafted through my nostrils. Now that I thought about it , this felt freaking weird as well. When the realization dawned on me, I sprang up from the bed, swiveling my gaze around the whole room! “Shit!!!!” I almost screamed, my hands flying over my mouth to control the gasps that almost left my lips. What the fuck was wrong with me! Why did I even follow Ethan to his home and how was I that shameless to even come to this same room? I hit my hands on my head. “You are stupid Junia,

    Ethan’s P. O. V“How do you feel being the hero of the week? You are like an angel who saved a damsel in distress” Aiden teased while I turned to him, fixing him a stern gaze. “Wrong, I am no angel! I am the devil himself…..have you heard anything concerning Nicholas…” I took my seat while he sat on the chair across from me. Aiden shrugged. “If you say so…..”He continued. “I haven’t heard anything about him but the police are currently investigating the cause of Charlotte’s death”I hissed. “What needs to be investigated? It is so evident that Nicholas must have murdered her”Aiden shook his head. “You see cousin, that is the problem! The evidence showed that he dropped Charlotte at the airport”I squirmed, staring intently at him. “If he drove her to the airport, then how was her body found around the ocean?”Aiden sighed. “I am confused. I have no idea about what is happening for real. All I know is that Nicholas wouldn’t…..” He clamped his mouth shut as soon as he locked eyes wi

    Junia’s P.O.VI rolled my eyes to the back completely, reading the message that Ethan sent to me. “Don't ever go back to Nicholas, Junia. He is a member of the drug cartel and he is dangerous”I paused in my tracks for a second, running my hands through my hair frustratedly. “Ethan must think that cooking up lies about Nicholas would make me hate him…..” In anger, I sent a voice note to him. “Look, Ethan, I appreciate everything that you have done for me okay? You have no chance with me anymore and please don’t disturb me any longer! I will be blocking you from now on plus I want to have nothing to do with you!”I continued. “Just because you helped me escape at the wedding doesn’t mean that I am coming back to you, alright! Get off my back and leave me alone!” I yelled, slipping my phone through my purse.I had no time for whatever Ethan had in mind. Now, I was worried about Betty and at the same time, I was angry at her because, since the incident at the wedding, she had been ignor

She darted her eyes in my direction while I stared at her through the rear mirror.“Are you enjoying your ride?” I teased. She exhaled sharply in an attempt to contain her rage. “Before I even get started, how did you find me? How did you know where I was?”I smiled at her despite the deep frown plastered on her face. “Since you didn’t want to listen to me. I hired someone to look after you, someone who can protect you when I am not there” I replied. She raised a brow in confusion. “What you are saying is that you hired someone to protect me? From what exactly? What the hell is wrong with you, Ethan? How hard is it difficult for you to understand that I want nothing to do with you”Ignoring her words, I tossed a chocolate bar at her. “This should lighten up your mood”She stared at me, attempting to say a word but ended up running her hands through her hair. “Heaven knows that I am sick

    Junia’s P.O.VNo matter how much I tried to, I couldn't get rid of the thoughts of Ethan that kept flashing through my head at every passing second. He was the reason why I was fumbling with my scripts and now, he was the reason why Jones was lashing out at me.“Junia, what is wrong with you? Do you have a headache? I don't get why we are going through reading the same script over and over again” Jones almost raised his voice at me but he soon toned it down.I heaved a sigh. “I apologize and…..” Before I could complete my words, he placed a hand on my forehead. “You don't have a fever, your body temperature is normal”. All of a sudden, he stared intently at me, darting his eyes to my stomach before tilting his head to the left. “Are you pregnant?”Shooting him a glare, I shoved his hands off, reading the scripts again and despite me putting all my attention to it, all I was seeing was Ethan!“This jerk! How do I get rid of him?…”All of a sudden, Jones yelled at me. “You see, you a

    Ethan’s P.O.VMy upper lips curled in amusement while she stared at me with a face filled with nothing but horror. She screamed at the top of her lungs. “What the heck are you even doing here”I darted my eyes towards the altar. “Is it a bad thing to want to pray?”Before I knew what was happening, she stood on her toes, grabbing me by the collar. “You are seriously getting on my nerves, Ethan and…..”Before she could complete her statement, I cut in. “Don’t forget that you have eyes fixed on you…..”Junia straightened, glancing at everyone before storming out of the church. Betty rolled her eyes, intentionally bumping shoulders with me as she scuttled towards Junia. The anger on her face fascinated me and I am not being a creep or anything but I was just simply amused. Sauntering out of the church, Betty and Junia stood outside, probably getting into an argument. “You said it was going to work!” I heard Junia say. “I thought it was going to work! But you are also the architect o

    Ethan’s P. O. VSeething with rage, I glanced behind me, only to notice that there was no car behind us. I raised a brow in confusion, darting my eyes back to the driver.“I thought you claimed that there was a car following us?” He glanced in the side mirror, shock evident on his face. “Yes, a car was following us earlier so how did the car suddenly vanish……” His words trailed offI glanced behind me again. “Are you sure that you saw the car?…..” “I saw the car, I don't just know how the car vanished”Taking in a deep breath, I heaved a sigh, signaling for him to stop the car. These drug cartel people were going too far and I didn't want to sit calm any longer. My mind soon strayed towards Nicholas as I stepped out of the car and I couldn't help but wonder if Nicholas had lied to me that time, that I had him abducted. Now that I think about it, why was it that when Nicholas wanted to get married to Junia, all the issues concerning being followed by Pedro came to an end and after

    Junia’s P.O.VSwitching the lights to the kitchen on, a scream left my lips when my gaze fell on Nicholas sitting around my kitchen slab, biting on a sandwich, exerting all the muscles in his arm as he gripped it tightly. I tilted my head, my eyes narrowing in confusion, trying to wrap my head around everything that was happening. First of all, how did he get inside here?Nicholas’s eyes met mine and a wavering smile slipped on his face. “You don’t mind that I am here, right?”My eyes swept down his disheveled hair and his overgrown mustache— when did he ever have a mustache? His eyes glinted with passion, downing a bottle of water. “I missed you, Junia! I missed you every day and night that you were the only one that I saw everywhere”The phone that slipped from my hands vibrated against the floor and when I saw who the caller was, I shifted my gaze upward before my gaze fell on Nicholas who had a mouthful of sandwich in a way that caused me to cringe. I kind of wondered if he wa

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
