Junia’s P. O. V As I ventured into the aisle, there was this cold air that gushed through my skin in that instant and there was this voice that was screaming for me to take to my heels and run for my life. “Run for your life, Junia! Run as fast as your legs can carry because you are about to make the worst decision of your life! You are going to regret this!” The voices in my head screamed and no matter how much I tried, the voices persisted that I swear that I could go crazy. But when my eyes met those eyes that would make my soul melt and those eyes that would make me feel like I wanted to drown inside of them, the thoughts that filled my mind and the voices soon disappeared.He smiled at me, his eyes glinting with tears and even though the thoughts were beginning to fade, something still didn’t sit right with me. “I am making the world’s worst decision” I muttered under my breath, taking my eyes off Nicholas. My gaze landed on the crowd and while I tried to smile at them, the
Ethan’s P.O. VNo matter how much I tried to rack my brain in an attempt to come up with a plan that I would use in destroying the wedding ceremony, none of them made any sense and it felt more as if I had proceeded with the plans that I had in mind, then the plans would have failed woefully like they always do! Later on, I decided that the best thing to do was to just attend the wedding ceremony and use my presence to call off the wedding. If there was a chance or the possibility of something ever happening between me and Junia again, then she would be affected by my presence and if she wasn’t affected by my presence, then it meant that it was time to let her go! But would I let her go? Would I allow the woman who invaded my dreams every night to go? That would never happen! Even if there was a high chance that she had lost all of her feelings for me, I would still do everything in my capacity to bring back the love that she held towards me. Thankfully, it seemed that my plan wo
Ethan's POVThe 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
Ethan’s P.O.VJunia took in a deep breath, squeezing her eyes shut before her eyes flicked open. 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
