Junia’s P.O.VWhat was I doing with this same lady? The same lady who had walked in with Ethan on my third wedding anniversary after telling me that she was pregnant for him. It was weird that I was drinking coffee with this weird woman whom I had once loathed. Because now that I searched deep inside of me, I held nothing against her any longer. I couldn’t say that I liked her but one thing I knew was that I surely didn’t hate her anymore.She clutched her cup of coffee tightly, taking a sip before dropping it on the table while beaming with a smile. “I have been waiting for this day!”I forced out a smile. “Which day?”“The day that I would finally confess my sins to you. I have wronged you badly, Junia. The things that I did were surely uncalled for and I am sorry that I had to put you through that mess” She lowered her head, a tear tracking down her face as she dashed it with her hands. “I know that you hate me right now and…” I cut into her words. “Hate? I don’t hate you! Why
Ethan’s P.O.VShe wasn't home yet! Why did I ensure that a meal was made specifically for her? I mean, I just told her that I hated her. But at the same time, I couldn't stand the thought of her eating ramen with Nicholas who used every situation as an avenue to get closer to her. I couldn't just wait for him to end up in jail!It doesn't make any sense that I am this bothered. Now that I thought about it, where could she have been all day? She asked for permission to leave the office early since she had important business to handle and when I thought that I would meet her home, she wasn't home. Amidst my thoughts, the sound of the door’s pin being imputed alerted my senses and I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me that she was here—Junia was here!She was back home—Our home. She soon appeared in the dining room, staying rooted to the same spot while taking me aback as she fixed her eyes intently on me. The way she stared at me made me so uneasy that I had no option but to clea
Junia’s P.O.V“Lunch and dinner?” Ethan said while I stared at him through the mirror. I nodded, beaming with a smile. Ethan hugged me from behind. “I have been wanting to eat outside with you until that menace had to ruin things. I had a lot of plans for us. I can't wait to make memories with you here and then when we go to Switzerland…..” He tightened his grip around me. “That was why you gave me a one-week break?”He nodded, planting kisses on my face. “Yes, I wanted to spend time with you”Wasn't it weird that even I who had an event couldn't remember anything about it? “I wanted to go to a place where Nicholas wouldn't be there. Just me and you, nature and us”I chuckled, turning to look at him while reveling in his embrace. I didn't want it to end. I wanted to experience it over and over again. “I love you so much, Junia,” He proclaimed. I pushed him off me. “We would get late to work!”Ethan shook his head. “Who cares? The company is mine and I can't decide to go and not
Maddie’s P.O.V Finally, I was able to ruin that fool, Nicholas. Everything was going as I had planned and on the other hand, Nicholas could go to hell with his fake Birkin bag!It was amazing how Junia, Ethan, and Aiden fell for my lies about me dying soon! It was ironic how they were able to fall for that.Anyway, I had put Nicholas in his place and that was all that mattered the most. On the other hand, I had a birthday party to attend tonight. I leaned forward, applying a red lipstick while smacking my lips slowly. “Pretty!” I winked at myself in the mirror. Dressed in a pink Chanel gown that was adorned with a golden belt, I paired it with a silver earring that cost over 150,000$, something that I was able to get from Ethan before he slipped off my fingers. I was really pretty, prettier than Junia! How could Ethan fall out of love with me? I slipped my feet into the silver heels, clutching my black purse while taking another look at myself in the mirror. Now that I thought a
Nicholas's P.O.V“That was well executed” A text from Le Mort read!I was happy. I was elated that I was able to put an end to Maddie and her madness. I was the one who brought her back to New York City! I was the one who changed her life! How could she have stabbed me in the back?How could she bite the hands of the person who fed herI wanted to shoot her over and over again! But in the end, I was glad that I was able to get rid of her in the end. Thankfully, everything would fall into place and I could try to win Junia back. This time, I would go so hard on her and make her fall in love with me.Maddie’s death was ruled as suicide since the suicide note contained how she wanted to end it all because she was tired of the pain. In the suicide note that I had written, I made sure that I wasn’t vindicated in it. My name wasn’t mentioned in it. It was just about her health, her anxiety, and her depression.Concerning the DNA, I handled everything in a way that nothing would be traced
Junia’s P.O.VThat bastard, Nicholas Hawthorne! He even dared to bring a bouquet after everything that he had done!Maddie’s death sent shivers down my spine. It was weird that the same woman whom I had seen a few days ago committed suicide! She had specifically told me that she wanted to make use of the little time that she had left. If she looked forward to spending the rest of her days then why would she kill herself? It could only be the work of Nicholas. I was a fool for me to have trusted that creep so many times.Aiden snapped me out of my reverie, tapping me on the shoulders gently as I turned to look at him. Aiden smiled, dropping a cookie before me while I made coffee for myself. “Hi, Aiden”He nodded. “Hello, I called you multiple times this week but you ignored most of my calls. You have gotten back with Ethan and I am so happy for you!”I muttered. “Yeah, thank you for being happy for me. I would like to ask you a question and I would be very happy if you would be hon
Ethan’s P.O.VComing out of the car, I took Junia’s hands in mine, squeezing it gently. I glanced over to her and watched as she pressed the phone to her ear, fear glinting in her eyes. “Voicemail again!” Her voice was laced with frustration. “I am sure that she is fine. Maybe she lost contact because I can’t think of a possible reason concerning why she isn't answering her phone” I said to Junia who nodded, staring at the address written on a paper. She read. “The house address reads 123 Alpine Way…..” Her words trailed as she stared into the woods. My brows furrowed in confusion. Was she living in the woods? Junia gulped. “Maybe her house is just around this place. Look, there is a house over there and look at that garden for lovers. That must be where Briella and Scott lives” Junia smiled in a way that caused me to be awash with relief. I hung my hand over her shoulder while she leaned by her side. “I just worried for nothing. It is all because of Nicholas Hawthorne…..” She
Junia’s P.O.VI gnawed on my fingers, pacing back and forth while trying to process one or two things together in my head. 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
