Ethan’s P.O. V

Not only was I surprised but I was equally taken aback when Junia walked through the doors of my office and obviously, with a frown on her face!

The way she strutted in and the way her hips swayed by her side, caused my jaw to drop. I stood to my feet with my mouth agape and at that very moment, I was awash with regrets.

I hated everything that I had put her through and it made me wish that I could turn back the hands of time and set things right.

“You are here…..” My voice was barely above a whisper.

However, the hoarseness laced in her voice snapped me out of reverie and that was when I deciphered that she wasn’t here for peace.

“Of course, I am here” She sat on the chair across from me, crossing her legs.

With a bright smile that slipped through my face, I couldn’t hide my joy, and the very fact that she was sitting right before me fulfilled me in ways that I would never be able to imagine.

“What do I offer you and…..” Before I could complete my words

    Chapter Junia’s P. O. VStaring at Michaela, the way she smiled, the way her eyes lit up brightly, the only thing that I was filled with was nothing but hatred for her. There was just something about her that pisses me off. Not only was she evil but she was a total pretender and one of the greatest manipulators that I have ever encountered. The same lady who claimed that she would take over the company from Ethan was the same person who was acting like she cared about him, offering him an herbal tea. Michaela poured the tea into a cup, handing it to Ethan. “This would relieve you of your pain”Ethan was about to drink it when I spoke. “If someone has a back pain? Isn’t the person supposed to get proper medication?”Michaela froze and the smile on her face disappeared till her face contorted into a frown that deepened. Turning her head towards me slowly, I was kind of taken aback to see how she went from frowning to having a smile slip through her face. Ethan also chimed in. “Enou

    Ethan’s P.O.VI had hardly dealt with the whole Micheala issue and now, Nicholas sent an invitation to me! I tilted my head to the left, staring intently at the invitation card as different thoughts rushed through my mind. “Why in the world would he even send an invitation to me? This was the same thing that he did that time despite knowing that I didn't want to have anything to do with him”Aiden cleaning his face with a towel responded. “He invited some influential people, people that we all know…..” “I don't care, I wouldn't be attending! Nicholas is just a fool, if he had known that we were the ones who abducted him, then he would have stayed wary of us”I shook my head. “Anyways, I won't be attending! Why would anyone even relate themselves to someone who is associated with a murder case?”Aiden sighed. “Nicholas already told you that the people he was involved with were the ones who killed Charlotte” I turned to look at Nicholas. “ It doesn't change the fact that he had someth

    Nicholas’s P. O. V“Ethan Blackwood” I muttered, underneath my breath, falling to my knees with my head lowered. The man who stood in the shadow raised his wine glass. “Ruin him but don't kill him” He continued. “He keeps interfering! The invitation was to check if he had gotten the message that you are someone who needs to be left alone! But since he plans on coming, then you would go with plan B!”“Ruin him!” His cackles depicted triumph. Nodding subtly, I stood to my feet while he tossed some papers at me. “Everything that you need to do is there. All the plans, the details, and everything needed for things to go smoothly”He continued. “This time, things would go smoothly!” With a lopsided smile, creeping at the corner of my face, I replied. “Yes, this time he would be crushed!”“Hopefully!” The man behind the mask, called Le Mort, as every member of the underground world called him, responded. “Le Mort” His name danced on my tongue. Staring at the man who stood behind the s

    Ethan’s P.O.VAs soon as I laid eyes on Junia, the sound of music, and the clinking of glasses that echoed through the room all dispersed into a distant hum. Time slowed down and the only thing that I wanted was for her to have her eyes on me and me only. Despite the twinkling lights, Junia’s radiant presence overshadowed it all. Slowly, she spurned, her eyes meeting mine and being the obstinate woman that she was, her face contorted into a frown, like she was displeased by my presence. “What are you doing here?” Junia signed.I signed back at her. “I am coming to you” Junia slapped her forehead while I chuckled slightly. I was about to take a step when Nicholas suddenly appeared before me. All the excitement that I had felt when it felt like Junia and I were the only ones remaining in our world suddenly disappeared and the only thing that I was filled with was contempt for the man who stood in front of me. I raised a brow in confusion, a stoic expression, replacing the smile th

    Ethan’s P.O.VWhile Nicholas raised his glass towards my direction, I grabbed one from the server, raising it toward, Nicholas while muttering. “Cheers!”With my phone still pressed to my ear, I said to Aiden. “Stay calm, Aiden. We already predicted this before and I would take over things from here henceforth. However, if you are able to take control of things, don't hesitate to inform me”Aiden responded and with the way he talked, it seemed more like he was panicking. “Would you be able to do all of that on your own? Don’t forget that you are surrounded by people who wouldn’t blink an eye before taking your life”A faint smile slipped on my face and if there was anything that I was sure of, I was going to get out of here peacefully without a scratch, and most importantly, I was going to leave this place alongside Junia. I laughed. “Why are you bothered about me? Don’t forget about how you whined that you wouldn’t help me with anything concerning these people any longer”Aiden lau

    Chapter Junia’s P.O.V My heart almost leaped out of my throat when I heard the commotion going down the stairs. While wiping away my lipstick and trying to apply a new one, I was soon taken aback when I heard someone scream “Junia is dead”For a second, I tilted my head to the left, trying to make sense of whatever was happening because there was a high chance that my hearing was starting to malfunction. “That is weird? Could that be a play? Or is there a high chance that Nicholas and Ethan are exchanging words?…..” I muttered to myself before shoving the thoughts off.They could fight as much as they wanted. The only thing that mattered to me at that very moment was leaving in the next thirty minutes. A bright smile formed on my face when my phone’s screen suddenly came on and it was a call from Briella.However, before I could answer the call, the sounds of footsteps rushing up the stairs alerted me and that was when I knew that something was wrong.Stepping out of the bedroom,

    Nicholas’s P.O.VMy blood boiled, and my fist clenched slowly as soon as I laid eyes on Junia and Ethan who walked past me like nothing had happened!They even engaged in banter when my whole life was about to turn upside down. One thing I just didn’t understand was how the plan failed! I did everything that Le Mort told me to do! I followed all the procedures diligently. I did everything!How was I going to tell him that like always, Ethan won again? How was I going to tell him something that he had already known? How do I even show my face before him?Slowly, Junia was slipping off my fingers and the fact that Ethan always won kind of triggered all of the senses in my head. But, aside from that, how did the plan fail? The plan drafted by Le Mort was to make Ethan take the fall for something that he didn’t do. I got the clone, a woman who had always wanted to commit suicide, had her go through a facial surgery to look like Junia and since she had the same physique as Junia, it ma

I turned to look at her as she swiveled her gaze around the whole place. “Wait, how many houses do you even have?”A slight chuckle left my lips. “It doesn’t matter…..”Junia interjected. “Yes, it doesn’t matter because how am I even asking a billionaire about the amount of things that he possesses?”I laughed again. “You feel cold, do you!” I asked her while she shook her head negatively. “I don’t feel cold, I am just traumatized by the whole event, and Betty, we have been drifting apart recently. She has been so busy with work and we hardly have the time to talk to each other like before” “I do miss her,” She pouted. The expression on her face saddened me and I soon cleared my throat. “I would get your coffee. We can order pizza, are you in?”She nodded at the same time groaning. “Yes, I have been starving since….:”“Let me get the coffee for you,” I sai

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
