Chapter Junia POV“Briella” I muttered underneath my breath, my face scrunching up in disgust as I shot her a glare. A faint smile formed on her face before she ran her hands through her hair. “Sister, what are you doing here?”I almost scoffed right to her face because she even had the audacity to address me as her sister!“I think that I should be the one asking you that question because what are you doing here? Briella” I said, stressing on Briella for her to know that I just didn't care about her anymore.She squeezed her hands over her chest as she raised a brow while glancing behind me. “It seems to me that you are traveling. Are you on a break?”I was confused at that point because the fact that she was trying to strike up a conversation with me when the last time that I had a meaningful conversation with her was years back.I didn't know what happened but she suddenly went off on me and all of that happened as soon as I divorced that psychopath called Ethan. “I am curious.
Ethan’s P.O.VThe more I stared at my phone, the more I felt the urge to burst into a peal of hysterical laughter. What the hell? What kind of person did she think I was? What does she see me as? A loser? Someone who just gives up and wallows in sadness? Then she didn’t know who I was and she had no idea about the extent to which I would go to protect the people that I loved. Slipping my phone down my pocket, I leaned in the chair, not tearing my gaze from across the right. The air hostess soon stood before me with a bright smile that looked like it could illuminate the darkest corners of the room spreading through her face.“Can I help you with anything sir?” She said while I returned her smile.“No. When I need something I would call out for you” I said to her hurriedly because hell! She was blocking my damned view. The air hostess lowered her head before leaving. I darted my eyes back to the seat across from me and in that moment, a wave of anger rushed inside of me. Who gave
Chapter Junia’s P.O.V“Betty, news flash, the plan didn’t work! This man boarded the same plane with me! And now we both landed in Bali! Do you even know how annoying the thing is?” I said to Betty on the phone who sounded like she was chewing on something while I glanced behind me, watching as Nicholas was sorting out things. Betty replied. “I don’t understand what you mean my dear. Who is the man that you are trying to talk about?”I almost palmed my forehead. “How can you not know who I am trying to tell you about? It is Ethan! I mean I met him on the plane and we landed in the same place”Betty gasped. “Oh my God! How does he even know where you are going? Damn, I hate this man called Ethan so much. I loathe him with so much passion” Her words were starting to trail off before she paused and gasped.“But I am kind of confused about something, What if all of this is a coincidence? I mean? It was not like he confronted you concerning anything or did he confront you about anythin
Ethan’s P.O.VIf they go low, I go lower!If they get messy, I get messier!If they get petty, then I would do the same!If they don’t look for trouble, I would start the trouble.“Nicholas Hawthorne” I muttered under my breath, twirling the glass of wine in my hands while taking a sip as I stared intently at his picture.I continued. “I have always thought that you weren’t my competition. Honestly, you aren’t still my competition but you are a threat and maybe I have underestimated you to the extent of you becoming a ticking bomb waiting to detonate” I said to myself, taking another sip of the wine before glancing behind me.I wanted to tear those walls apart! Those walls that separated Junia from me. “That bastard….should have done something about you a long time ago” I muttered. There isn’t just how Nicholas could be so perfect! There was nothing to use against him even though he was someone who went public concerning things about his life and here I was, no matter how private I
Junia’s P.O.VI stared in disbelief, not being able to believe the sight that was happening before my very eyes. Earlier, I wanted to think that maybe there was a high chance that he was joking but when I heard the soft thud that resounded through the ground, at that moment I knew that everything that was happening was real. Nicholas was scared of a cat and I didn't want to make his fears invalid or anything but if Betty were to be here, she would have bursted out in laughter.I quickly rushed towards Nicholas falling next to him and in that very moment, I noticed something that kind of took me aback. There was this fishy scent that emanated from Nicholas and it kind of made me wonder if he had eaten fish or something with a fishy scent. But if I were to be honest, I couldn't even recollect something like that happening in the first place.It just felt weird and at the same time, this wasn't the perfect to be bothered about when and when he ate fish. I had to make sure that he was s
Ethan’s P. O. VI hated the way that I was acting towards her and I hated the fact that I couldn’t encircle her in my arms just because of my plan but in the end, I was glad that I was able to achieve my plans of destroying Nicholas with his fear.And the good news was that I was just getting started with him. He doesn't even have an idea about all of the things that I had in store for him.Because of the way that he had fainted and the fact that he called that cute cat a monster, he was dragged into a horrible scandal with people calling him very mean and demeaning words. Just reading the comments caused this type of excitement to build inside of me because, in the end, I was finally able to achieve my aim of creating a scandal for him. Because how could he be so pure? How in the world was he perfect without any flaws?By creating numerous scandals for him and by tormenting him with his fears, I would bring out the worst of him. I would bring out that part of him that he is doing ev
Junia P. O. VFor a second, I was trying so hard to understand what was happening and what in the world Ethan was trying to say but when I glanced behind me and my eyes met the eyes that were filled with mist and a different kind of pain, I knew instantly that I had fallen into Ethan’s trap.I tried pushing Ethan off me but he held on firmly to me. “Get the heck off me, Ethan” I slapped his chest but despite everything that I did in an attempt to get him off me, he held on firmly to me. “It isn’t what you think and leave me alone”Like the cue that he needed to finally let go, Ethan released his hands around my waist while I attempted to reach my hands for Nicholas but instead, he retracted his step backward. “No, please no” Nicholas muttered under his breath and the pain that his voice held caused every part of me to crumble. This was a misunderstanding! How do I tell him that all of this was a misunderstanding?Coming out of the elevator, Ethan scoffed. “You two are so not compa
Junia’s P.O.VFor a second, I thought that my hearing was impaired like I didn’t hear what I just heard Jones say. The panic in his voice, the fear that his voice held didn’t stop the laughter that erupted from my mouth.“That is a lie. How is that possible? You are kidding, right? You are not telling me that she was beaten to death by her husband? We all know how he loves her! You must be joking…… why would you even joke with something like that?” I said amidst the laughter that escaped from my mouth. Jones yelled. “Why do you find this funny? How is this even funny? Why would I lie about something as serious as this….. did you even check the news? I know that you and Briella may be on bad terms right now in the end Junia, she is your sister! Where is your sympathy at?” I heard him say and despite everything that he said, that still didn’t stop the laughter that erupted from my lips. “Why do I find this funny? Because it is funny” Jones hissed. “Do you even know how serious this
