Ethan’s P.O.VAs soon as I heard and saw the clicking of a camera, my face contorted in a frown that deepened and the only thing that I wanted to do at that moment was to wrap my fingers around Maddie’s neck and strangle the hell out of her. Even if it meant snapping the life out of her. “You must be kidding right?” I scoffed while she blinked her eyes rapidly as she retracted her step backward. Undeterred by her fearful reaction, I closed the space between us while she gulped. “You manipulative witch, you are up to something and that was the reason why you saw this as a perfect moment to confront me? Do you want to go viral in the media again? You don't even know who you are messing with because my dear, I would do anything to ruin you”She eyed me before she pushed me. “The heck do you mean? What the hell are you even trying to say”I scoffed. “Do you know what I hate about you? Your pretentious nature! Maddie you are playing with my patience and my dear, you don't even know what
Junia’s P.O.VI raised a brow in confusion, not because of the situation that I found Maddie and Ethan in but the fact that Maddie saw that particular moment as the right me to attack me.I glanced behind me to confirm if she was addressing me, doubting that I was the one she called a home wrecker.“Pardon?” I pointed to myself, resisting the urge to burst into a peal of hysterical laughter that depicted nothing but mockery. A mischievous smile graced her lips and in that very moment, I knew what she was up to. “Oh, you are going to act like……” Before she could complete her words, Ethan yelled at her. “She is going to act like what? What kind of narrative are you trying to push” Ethan turned to look at me, running a hand through his hair. “It isn’t what you think Junia…..”I pointed to myself. “It isn’t what I think? Why do you even think that I am bothered about what is going on between the two of you? I am here for something else and not this!” Ethan gritted his teeth angrily as
Ethan’s P.O. VA wave of anger surged inside of me at the very moment, creating a fiery pit that lodged beneath my stomach as my fingers curled into fists.“Maddie” I muttered through gritted teeth. I've always had this gut feeling that she was up to no good!— She has never been up to any! And now that I think about it, isn’t it hilarious how she transformed from the sweet girl I once dated in college to this wild woman whose sole purpose seemed to be scheming as if her life depended on it?She didn't stop at just playing mind games with Junia regarding Michaela and Liam; she even dared to threaten me with revealing the truth about Michaela to Junia.This only meant that even if I had not sent Aiden to get back the money from her, she would have still gone behind my back the way that she did.“I should have snapped the life out of her earlier!”Junia sipped her coffee as she sat across from me, tapping her fingers on the coffee before she stared at me suspiciously. “You have not answ
Junia’s P.O.V I couldn’t get Ethan’s word off my mind. The way he was so brazen about his words. “Come and live with me” I mimicked, smoothening my hair with my hand. I had always known that he was delusional but I didn't know that it was to this extent! Did he think that assisting me with Briella would lead me back into being in a relationship with him?If that were his initial thoughts, then he would be in for a long run because I would never return to him nor would I even dare to live with him. My mind strayed towards Briella and Matteo and even with everything that she did, I still couldn’t get rid of the thoughts of her that crossed my mind every passing second. I could not get rid of a lot of thoughts. The thoughts of my father whose deafening silence kind of made my heart palpitate with fear, Briella who still stood up for Matteo despite everything that he did to her, and annoyingly, she was one of the major reasons why he isn’t being charged to court. Despite my attempts
Junia’s P.O.V I couldn’t control the tears that cascaded down my cheeks as I listened to Nicholas talk. His words made me feel stupid, and most importantly, it made me feel that I overreacted instead of giving him a listening ear. But, he shouldn’t blame me because I acted out of impulse and I felt disrespected when he made no attempts to make things clear to me. I felt his fingertips trail my face as he wiped off my tears. “You don’t need to feel this way, Junia. It is all my fault. I should have at least attempted to explain things to you then but I allowed my emotions to get the better part of me”I sniffled in the tears that were threatening to fall while he reached his hands for mine, squeezing it gently. “I made our trip to Bali a mess but I promise you that every moment that I am going to be spending with you now will be memorable” I pursed my lips slightly, not being able to believe that I had broken the connection between us when he was the victim in this case. “I feel l
Ethan’s P.O.VHeartache, pain, or anger? These were not the perfect words to describe the emotions that surged inside of me at that very moment. Why was it that all my plans were starting to fail? Why was it that everything that I did for Junia went down the drain?How could she have done something like this to me? How could she even attempt to get back with Nicholas? Their wedding would be in two days! Was this the reason why she began ignoring me? Was Nicholas the reason why she stopped replying to my text messages? I have gone too easy on Nicholas and that was why he thought that he could have his way. I didn’t spend my time hatching and executing plans for how to destroy his relationship with Junia just for her to get back with him every single time. Plus where the hell was Charlotte? What did Nicholas do to her? How come I couldn’t even find her? She didn’t even return to Switzerland so how did she suddenly disappear? “Nicholas! Nicholas! You are a ticking bomb that I have
Junia’s P.O.VSitting right before the dressing mirror as the stylist adorned my hair with white pearls, I couldn’t help but search for something that should be present on this day— Happiness! The same one that I felt on the day that I had gotten married to Ethan. Now I was getting married to Nicholas and the only thing that I felt was this devastating feeling of emptiness. I know that I might have addressed Nicholas as my soulmate numerous times but this marriage felt like the wrong step that I should be taking and the annoying thing was even Betty didn’t feel like something was wrong anywhere. She even claimed that I was overreacting just because of the experience of my past marriage! In these past few days, I have tried calling off the wedding multiple times but there is this thing that Nicholas does to me that I couldn't decipher. All I know is that whenever he does this thing, I end up changing my mind and agreeing to go further with the wedding. Here I was now, sitting b
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
