Chapter 61Ria's POVIt was in the afternoon, and I had nothing to do. "I should start looking for jobs I can apply for. I can't be at home all day even though I've got a rich boyfriend." I muttered to myself while I stared at the filled dustbin.I tied my hair in a bun while I picked up the garbage as I walked out of my room. What a coincidence, the handsome neighbor who was at my side was also holding his garbage in his hands.I was still embarrassed after he saw me arguing with Luca yesterday. I wondered what he must have been thinking after seeing the both of us that way."Good morning." I greeted him first; a fake smile crept on my face."Good morning." He answered as he then walked away. Oh! I guess I shouldn't have greeted him first. He was so cold and rude, I should have known from the start that he was that kind of person. I walked behind him as we both entered the elevator. "How long have you been here?" He questioned, while I blinked my eyes.We were both unsure if the a
Chapter 62Ria's POV"Oh my! Thank you very much." I collected the lunch box from him, while Luca was still at my back with a blank expression on his face."It's okay. I grew up in a country whereby people share food with their neighbors. I'm sorry if you found it so weird." He rubbed his hands against his trousers as he explained."Oh! That's very much thoughtful of you." I closed the door immediately after I he left. "One might think you guys have known each other for days." Luca said, while I walked to the dining table. I dropped the lunch box just to check was it inside, and it turned out of be cookies which was made in different shapes and size."They look so good." I stated, not wanting to reply him."Oh really? Are you really going to eat that?" He was standing beside me already. I could feel the heat coming from his body, while his cologne filled up my nose."Yeah. I can't just trash it. You can't expect me to waste something." I shrugged my arms."Don't trust people that ea
Chapter 63.Ria's POV."I'm kidding." I laughed so hard, removing my hands from my chest as I then saw the disappointment on his face. He took the whole thing so serious."Do you know how scared I was?" He shouted in anger, while I kept on laughing."I'm sorry." I hit his shoulder, as we then both busted into laughter. "Wait, what came to your mind after you saw me reacting hat way?" I questioned, but he just shakes his head. "Say it." I urged him touching his shoulders.He suddenly got a call that interrupted our conversation."Oh shit! Now?" He shouted as he started closing his laptop. "I'm sorry, I have to go now. I am going to see you later." He said as he then ended the call and rushed out of the house.I hate being so jobless. I need to get my finger moving."Oh shit! Now?" He shouted as he started closing his laptop. "I'm sorry, I have to go now. I am going to see you later." He said as he then ended the call and rushed out of the house.I hate being so jobless. I need to get
Chapter 64.Ria's POV.Time moves so fast, and I was still very glad that I was invited to the company's anniversary even after everything that had happened.'Why are you saying it like it wasn't Luca who invited you? You are his girlfriend for goodness sake!' My subconscious reminded me, while I inhaled sharply.I waited for him to pick me, and I also planned on telling him about everything this night. I wanted to let him know about the fact that he should avoid Jade by all means and also let him know that she was the one who pushed me off the cliff the other day.I needed to prove it to him, and I would do my best to make sure that he would not appoint her as the manager of the cosmetics company.She must have gone to meet her dad and ask him to help her as usual. Luca came in no time, and I was in his car already. "You look beautiful, my love." He kissed me on the lips immediately after I had entered his car before he drove off to the event hall where the meeting would be happeni
Chapter 65Ria's POV.I could feel my heart drop immediately after what she had said. "Where did you hear that from? Luca didn't tell me anything about it." I questioned her, while I still found the statement very hard to believe."There was no way he would name a decision like that without letting me know." I added, while my eyes searched the entire hall for him, and I found him discussing with Jade and her father already."Wait! I think he must have told you about it already." She uttered covering her mouth."Just wait and don't do anything till it gets announced." Zoa continues to whisper."Who told you about this? And since when did you get to hear about this?" I queried her, and she just shrugged while she hoped everything she had said was just a false rumor."I heard a lot of people talking about it. I heard it was decided by the shareholders in the company, and you knew how much influence her father has." Zoa continued.I wished I could walk up to Luca and then challenge him n
Chapter 66.Ria's POV.I watched as she then climbed the stage with a huge smile plastered on her face while the whole people in the room were all clapping. It felt as if he was betrayed.The fact that he didn't let me know about all of these beforehand, and I was just caught up in a surprise like this.I stormed out of the hall while I went to the bathroom. I would have gone right outside, but I was avoiding the reporters who might still be outside."Just calm down." Zoa followed me right into the restroom."I know I shouldn't be feeling this way. It's his company; it's his work. He doesn't have any choice due to the fact that the shareholders were the ones who made the decision, and her father was also a shareholder." I kept on saying, while sweat trickled down my face.At this point, I think I was just overreacting. "He should have just told me about it. It wasn't going to take him anything." I complained."I know, just talk things out with him.""That lady there almost killed me.
Chapter 67Ria's POV."What the hell did you just say?" He moved closer to me. Confusion filled his eyes, while tears flowed down my cheeks."We are not breaking up completely. I mean, let's just think about these things, and then we will talk once things get better."Just because I didn't tell you about me choosing her as the manager? Is that why you are all doing all of these?" He questioned, moving closer to me."I didn't know you see that a small action. You feel like it is nothing. Oh, are you okay with picking someone who attempted to murder me as the manager?" I raised up my hands while I started clapping them."You know what? That is really great." I continued clapping my hands, while he mouth was opened trying to look for words which were going to come out from his mouth."She was the one who tried to push you off the cliff?" His palms covered his mouth. "Why didn't you tell me about it all this while?""What would have changed if I had told you? Are you going to scold her? W
Chapter 68.Ria's POV"Was this some kind of prank?" I scoffed seeing the beautiful lady who was standing at his side. She was opposite me too, and I saw the tears flow down her eyes.I know why she looked so familiar. That was the picture the anonymous person had sent to me. I know why things were starting to look this way."No way." I held back my tears while I grabbed my bag, which was on the couch, wanting to leave. "This isn't a joke. I figured out you might be the daughter of her ex-husband after I met you the other day. I wanted the both of you to reunite since she wouldn't stop talking about you." Mr. Jack continued talking, leaving me in awe.The woman walked closer to me, her two palms stretched forward as she kept on shaking. She wanted to touch my cheeks, but I stood up before she could get to do that."Please, listen to me. I am so sorry that I left you and I really want things to get better between the both of us. I really regret my actions and I want us to come back to
EPILOGUE IIRia happily served her kids a slice each of the chocolate cake she had learned to bake for their sakes and watched as they enjoyed it.“Don’t rush the cake, you’ll stain your dress,” she said as she stretched her hand to wipe the side of Aurora and Atlas’s mouths with a napkin.“It’s so delicious, Mom. Will you make us another after Granny’s birthday party?” Aurora said in between mouthfuls as she swung her legs underneath the table. Ria nodded and was just about to give a reply when she saw her husband emerge from the doorway.He looked so smart in his suit, and she just wanted to eat him up as he said, “There’ll be lots of cake there, so why don’t you let your mom rest a little?” He winked at her, waving his undone tie at her, but the children noticed his presence before she could walk up to him.“Daddy!” Aurora was the first to notice as she hopped off her stool and ran up to hug him. With a smile, he crouched to wrap his arms around her as Atlas ran into his embrace as
EPILOGUE IFive Years LaterLuca tiptoed into the master’s bedroom and shut the door quietly behind him as he peeked around for any sight of his wife.“Ria,” he called gently as his eyes scanned the room until they finally settled on her standing in front of the dressing mirror.His mouth ran dry as he saw the way the dress shimmered under the lights and how it hugged her delicate curves. He hated the fact that there would be a lot of people who would get to see her in that dress tonight.She was checking herself out in preparation for the party they would be attending that evening.The moment she turned around and did a swirl, he knew he needed to have a taste of her before they left, or else he’d be restless throughout the night.His heart was racing as he approached her from behind, and it felt like he was falling in love with her all over again.“I feel like the luckiest man in the world,” he said as he held her waist, and they both stared into the mirror.“Luca.” She turned and g
Chapter 140 (FINALE)Chapter 75Jade's POV.I have waited long enough for this day. I wasn't just going to be called off that way. My father helped with the case that was filed against me.If I don't get to do the right thing now, they might keep on filing cases against me and that was why I needed to do this The fact that I was going to get to kill Ria today would be the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I have always wished for the day that I wouldn't get to see her anymore.Finn promised that he was going to help me get what I wanted, which I was really happy about. Having someone to threaten was really a good thing in life. Now, he was even willingly to help me do things.I heard the news that she was going to get married to Luca. I wouldn't let that happen again while I was still alive. "Luca would come and save me." She said it with so much confidence, which made me chuckle. She was really confident this night and with the look of things, she might have a few things
Chapter 139Chapter 74*Two Weeks After*Ria's POV.My bridal shower was finally going to happen this night. I would be getting married tomorrow!We have been making preparations for this for the past month! Jade would be getting married in the next two weeks, which was really cool! I was so happy that our marriage was really close.I wished we could get to do it the same day.I waited for her to come over for my bridal shower. Everywhere was well lit up, and it was really beautiful.We were using the longue, which was in Luca's house. Luca left the house for us to enjoy, and I bet he must be with Liam right now. He barely had any friends, and probably with my dad told.I heard the doorbell ring as I rushed towards the door immediately. The moment I had been waiting for was finally here. I opened the door slowly, which revealed Zoa.I hugged her very tightly before I left her.It's funny how the bridal shower was only going to involve the both of us, probably alongside with my mom and
Chapter 138Liam's POV.Falling for Zoa was something that I never imagined was going to happen. I watched she as she kept on ranting but u couldn't listen to a single word she was saying.My gaze wre focused on her naked belly since she was putting on a crop top. I wanted to place my head in between those chubby legs. The effect she had on me these days was really one of a kind.I was sitting in the chair in my room, and yeah we have been living together ever since he father died. I never knew she had this side of her. It was so cute to see her rambling this way."Are you even listening to what I was saying." She interrupted my thoughts making me almost flinch. She used the clothes that were in her hands to hit my head, as she accidentally trip falling in my legs.Her hands were on my dick right now, and I bet she could feel how hard they were! Fuck what the hell was happening."It's so hard to resist you." I let out my confession. "I've been meaning to tell you this these days, but
Chapter 137Ria's POV*THE NEXT MORNING*"We spent the entire night together, but you are just telling me about the fact that you recovered your memory. Can you see how heartless you are?" I scolded Luca as we were on our way to the company.We were fucking together throughout last night, and the reason he had disappeared and made me worried for two days was because he wanted to surprise him.He told me that he was going to get the investors back, and I kept on asking him how he was going to do that, only for him to let me know now that he had recovered his memories already."What procedure did you use in getting them back? I think you are suffering from the side effects." I mentioned it to him, as he chuckled slightly again. There was nothing funny in what I had just said.If only he knew how worried I was, only for him to be hiding somewhere even when his company almost lost all its value."I am really sorry, and I will repay you in any way that I can." He promised me."Thank God yo
Chapter 136Ria's POV*THREE DAYS AFTER*"I don't have anything to do with your husband; you should go and look for him. Who knows? He might have lost interest in you since he lost his memories." There was no way Luca was going to leave me."I swear, if anything happens to him, I am going to make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life." I mentioned to Jade as I ended the call right immediately after.I wasn't really sure if she was the one responsible for him going missing. I was hesitant to report it to the police, hoping that he was going to come home, but right now I think it is the right time for me to let the police know about everything.I was about to walk up the stairs, not until I heard the sound of the bell ringing. I walked up to the door and saw a man standing there."Uhm, you ordered this." He stretched the box towards me."I think you got the wrong address. I didn't order anything." I said in defence. I have seen a lot of tricks like these being used these day
Chapter 135Luca's POVI wanted to know a lot of things about myself. Yeah, I might be performing well even with my memory loss, but it felt like I was empty. It really feels like there was something missing in me.I have been going to therapy secretly without Ria knowing, and I decided to go for one today since she went for her friend's daughter's funeral. I thought it was going to be a very perfect opportunity for me to go."Can you just come up with a fast technique? I need to recover my memory as fast as possible." I urged the doctor."You told me that you do see a few blurry images in your dream, and that means you are close to achieving it." She mentioned."Let's go for the option you mentioned the other day.""No way, I am not going to let you go through all that after the progress that you made already." She opposed, just like I was expecting her to."Exactly! This is my business, and you told me the consequences, but I needed to recover my memories as fast as I could. What if
Chapter 134Ria's POVJade was standing next to her huge black car, while Finn was at my front."I don't want to have anything to do with you again." Finn mentioned to me, unable to look me in my eyes."What? Did you threaten him again? Are you scared of her? Are you scared of what she might do to you?" I questioned him while I scoffed."It is none of your business. You can call the police to arrest me and then bring me in for questioning. You can tell them anything they want, but we don't have any business together." He mentioned setting the boundary between the both of us.A scoff appeared on my lips while I tried to connect the dots as usual.He was so damn serious."What the hell does she have on you exactly that you keep on acting this way?" I whispered, moving closer to him. "You see Zoa over there." I pointed at Zoa, who was sitting on a pavement with Liam next to her. Her hair was so messy, her eyes were really swollen, and she looked like a mess right now. "She made her that
