You're gonna miss me...
" June?" I held her hand tighter. Rubbing, feeling her pulse. Nothing.
" June!....baby talk to me......okay I promise we'll take care of the baby together. Just......come back. You can't die without my permission....you just can't. Wake up. Wake up. Common...." She wasn't moving. She was becoming even more pale than she already was.
" Sir. You need to calm down." Jesse came and held me up.
" Don't fucking tell me to calm down. " I struggled with him.
" Sir please this is a hospital." He says again.
" okay okay I'm calm. Cool even." I said and then he lets go of me. Adjusting my suit.
" Where the fuck is that fucking doctor that fucking treated my girl. "
Just then Jesse left.
" Yes sir" the man came rushing in.
He didn't look at my side or come close to me but went straight to June's body.
He checked everything, her heart beat, pulse even opened her eyes.
" June- age:22,time of death: 11:57pm." The doctor announces.
" What do you mean time of death? Huh? I fucking told you to save her life!" I held him by his lab coat collar.
" Sir.." He was probably shivering.
" Fucking bring her back now!" I shouted.
" I trusted you. I told you to save her. Bring her back....jerk!!" I shouted almost punching him when Jesse once again pushed me away from the doctor.I fell on the floor perplexed.
The doctor left in a hurry. I stare at June's lifeless body again hoping she would stand up. This cannot fucking be happening!

" Thank you for coming" June's mum held my hand tightly. I noticed it was just us and the priest with Jesse that came to the funeral.
" Thank you" she repeats.I gave no reply. She was really red from all the crying. Eyes swollen, messy hair and very pink nose.
" Do you know my June very well?" She asked me.
She rubs my hand crying even more. I can't take this.
I removed my hand from her grip. She looked surprised at what I did.
" I'm her friend" I replied and walked away trying not to cry.
Jesse followed me from behind.
" Let me drive you home. " he says.
I say nothing but entered the car.When I got home,I saw everyone dining, I walked in and everyone stopped eating and gave me their attention.
" Nathaniel,what were you doing all night that you're just getting in?" My dad's mistress asked me.
I didn't respond I just wanted to settle down and figure everything out. I walked away, going to my room.
" Your mother's talking to you." My dad said which made me stop walking.
" What'd you just say?" I walked back into the dining room.
He didn't respond but took a bite out of his food.
Bette stood up and walked towards me.
" You must be tired....why don't you go shower and I'll bring dinner for you." She said.
" Stop...." She paused at reaching out for me." Don't touch me! Don't fucking talk to me like my mother. You will never be!" I yelled at her.
Fuck! I was getting tired of her acting.
" Nathan I was just trying...." She started and her hand close to touching me. But I cut her off.
" Don't fucking try! Don't touch me!" I pushed her away making her stumble and almost falling down.
My sister Lillian seemed very shocked at that.
Jesse took her away from the room. So it remained me,my dad and his mistress.
" Nathaniel!!!!" My dad stood up from his chair.
" Is that a way to talk to your mum?!"" She's not my fucking mum! Stop calling her my mum. She'll never be." I yelled even more.
I dad sigh.
" That's another argument for another day." He sat back down and so did Bette.
" I need you to pick up someone from the airport tomorrow." He says.I glance at Bette, she appears to be cleaning her tears? And smiling too.
At me?
Bitch!
I kept my glance back at my dad.
" I'm not your fucking errand boy! We do have people to fucking do that. I'm busy!"
" No! You are to pick her. Your soon to be wife everything has been arranged. " he says.
I was shocked. Marriage when did we discuss this.
I didn't know what to do but laugh.
I laughed so hard my tommy started to pain."Old man you must be joking. But right now is not a time for that. My mood is already spoilt as it is. No one should fucking come to my room to disturb." I said before turning to leave.
" You shall pick that girl or I'll cut off everything! You hear me! My decision is final!" He says once more making me turn.
I gave him one last look and smiled.
Of course not the joyful one but a painful smile. I finally left.
I fucking hate everyone! Fucking hate my life!
collapsing on the bed was the first thing I did when I entered my room. My music box began playing. I must have hit it and it must have opened. I held it and closed the box.
" Mum" I held the box tight and cried so hard. " I.....miss you."
_____________
Jade's POV.
"Please can you get it fixed?" I asked the old man checking out my damaged car from yesterday.
" Yeah,but it gonna cost you a lot of money young lady." He said.
" Please sir. I purposely didn't go to a legal mechanic knowing it worth would be much. Please accept this and reduce the price please." I brought out a take away with bread inside. My dad had baked it this morning.
" You know I can't refuse this. Your dad's freshly baked breads are the best. " he accepted it with a huge smile on his face.
" Fine I'll do it."Yes! Dad's breads are the best.
" Okay you get the car fixed and I'll come back for it later." I said before leaving.
" you're smiling a lot today." Julian came to meet me.
I was cleaning up the tables.
" What do you mean? I smile all the time." I responded.
" Hmm you do but today's smile is even more." She said inspecting me.
" Wait a minute. Did you have sex last night?!" She literally screamed.I blocked her mouth immediately.
" shh! " I scolded.
" Mmhhh " she murmur.
I let go of her mouth.
" Okay if it not sex. What is it." Her face became serious.
I dragged her into the locker room.
" Okay I'll tell you everything. " I told her blushing.
" Go on your look like you're gonna explode soon." She said teasing me.
I told her everything, from when I was angry at Will to when he surprised me and proposed to me and the night we had.
" No way!" She squeal.
" Yes way." I showcased my ring. " I'm getting married." I screamed.

Nathaniel POV
" Hit and run?" I asked Jesse.
He had told me what had happened to June.
I was still processing the information he just gave me.
" Yes sir. According to the footage of the CCTV on the road sir." He explained.
" Who!!!....who the fuck killed June!!" I threw my coffee mug on my hand.
The sound of the ceramic shattering on the floor made Jesse move back a little.
" we are yet to find out sir. I'll get the results soon. " he said coldly.
" Why the fuck are you telling me shit! Why didn't you find out. What's your point in telling me!" I stood up from my chair walking towards him glaring at him straight into his height. We were the same height so it was direct contact.
" Find out the fuck who did that! And don't fucking show your face here until you do!" I turned my back at him." is that clear?!" I asked."Yes sir." He answered me.
" Good now get the fuck out of here." I released him.
Hearing the door close was the sign that he had gone.
I look at the wall clock and it was 3:40.
I have to get that girl at the airport by four.I picked up my office phone.
" Helena come to my office now " I called in my secretary." Yes sir?" She came in quick.
" You're one minute late. You think I have your time?" I scolded.
" I'm sorry sir." She bows her head.
" Cancel all my meetings for today. I'm leaving."
" But sir...." She started.
" I fucking ask you to do something. Do it! I'm not paying you to not do what I tell you to." I said walking out with my car keys.
I'm gonna fucking find you and make your life a living hell. You took the only thing I cherish most. My love.
I got into my car and took off.
____________
4:15 was the time I arrived at the airport.
I walked in and I bumped into a woman. She looked oddly familiar." Hey watch it! This clothes is more expensive than you think." She said dusting her cloth.
" Excuse me?!" I asked. She must not be in her right sense.
She gave me a long stare before talking.
" well hello. " she folded her arms.
" Nathaniel." She said frowning deeply than she already was.I should guess it the 'my bride to be.'
" Do I know you?" I asked.
" Well. Yeah. How time flies." She says.
Honestly she does look familiar but I can't put my fingers on it.
" You are?" I asked again. She may have not heard me.
" Elizabeth Clayton" she said with a smirk on her pancaked face.
Oh fuck no! Lizzy. She was my bully and my friend. She was the only person who could control me in highschool. Why would my dad want us to get married.
" Shit!" I cursed.
She smiled this time wickedly.
" Well there's my bag." She walked out of the door.
When we got to the car." oh yeah you were fifteen minutes late." She tapped on her watch.I opened up the car for her and she got in. I put her suitcase inside the booth abd got into the driver side and drove off.
I remembered my dad wanted me to give her a gift. I got her an expensive ring.
" Here. For you" I gave her.
She opened it and scoffed.
" Is this a way of buying my permission into this marriage." She looks at the ring with disgust.
" Too cheap." She closed the box and gave the ring back to me.I only smiled.
Well played dad. He got me my match.
I have a feeling this is only the beginning.
___________
After our long tiring drive the traffic light was at the red color I had to stop.
" You don't have to step on the brakes that fast." Lizzy said scoffing.
Wow she's one angry bitch. I didn't give her any response. I turned to the side and saw a young lady about her early twenties I think. who appeared to be selling flowers. I called her.
" I'll like that rose thank you very much." I said.
" That would be one dollar sir" she said handling me the rose.
" Too bad I don't have any cash with me. " I said.
The lady's face looked so priceless I was about laughing.
An idea popped into my head.
" Here.This can pay for it." I gave her the box.
She held it and opened it. Her eyes shining.
" I can't accept this" she says giving me back.
" Then keep it for me." I said.
"But...." She started.
" No buts. " I said.
She kept looking at me.
" What are you doing?" Lizzy said perplexed at what I did.
" You said you didn't want it. Well some will appreciate it better than you. " I responded.
The lady kept staring at me. I just smiled and waved at her. Just then the traffic light hits green and I drove off.

Jade's POV
This is my third part time job today. I have to work hard to get enough money to take care of my dad. He's the only one I got. I have to make sure he doesn't stress himself.
"Get your roses here." I announce.
I was at the road side selling flowers. I know that there isn't enough earnings in this but the earning is something.I got called by someone by the side of the road. He stopped in front of the traffic light.
" I'll like that rose thank you very much." The man said. He looked familiar tho. I just can't put my finger on it.
" That would be one dollar sir" I said handling him the rose.
" Too bad I don't have any cash on me " he says.
Is this guy playing with me or what. I haven't got all day.
" Here. This can pay for it" he threw a box at me.
When I got it opened,I was shocked at what I saw. It was a ring and a very expensive one by the looks of it.
This is clearly too much for the rose.
" I can't accept this" I had to return it.
" Then keep it for me." He said smiling.
I was shocked. Who just toss away and expensive thing like that. He must have done it a lot.
" But..."
" No buts." He said.
The lady beside him asked him a question. I think.
Still in my shock I kept starring at the guy. He just smiled and waved. Zooming off.
Well that's unusual.......
Chapter two✔
Thank you.
I'll make her pay... Jade's POV When I got home I saw some random guy taking pictures of my car. " Hey hey excuse me?" I started. " Maybe I help you?" He asked. " Ain't I suppose to be the one asking that?" I told him. " What happened ma'am ?" He asked me. " Why are you taking pictures of my car?" I asked him. " O
Reminiscing... Nathaniel POV I drove to June's apartment. Getting out of the car I saw a sign on the door. When I got close it wrote: 'Apartment for rent' What the fuck. Who wants to rent this out. I tore the paper on the door off. I have a spare key so I opened the door and walked in. Everything,was gone. Her things were no where to be found. I guess her mum got it out. It only been a week and everywhere seemed deserted. I walked around touching, observing the place. Dust everywhere. It had so many memories. I got to her room. A mirror there which showed my shameless face. I couldn't save the one I love. I can't believe she trusted me. How can I claim to love her,if I can't even protect her. I took a candle from the dress table and smashed the mirror. I can't look at me no more. Shameless. " Fuck!!!!!" I shouted.
Watching the one... Nathaniel POV I watched her coming out from a restaurant. It seems she's done with work. Jesse has told me exactly where she was and I drove there straight. She passed the front of my vehicle unaware of the eyes watching her. She took a taxi and I followed her exactly where she went to. Not that I didn't know where she was going to. I obviously told Jesse to file a case against her. She paid the taxi and she looks at the building she was about entering. Her phone rang but she seemed to ignore it. She cuts the phone and entered the station. Jade POV. I got a call that I was needed at the station,immediately I got that I rushed to the station, was about entering when William called. I cut the call and entered the station. " Miss Shipman, do you think that makes sense?" The officer asked me when
Let's dig up a little dirt... Nathaniel POV I watched William drive off with Elizabeth. This man looks interesting. Would be nice to find out who he really is. I took a sip from my wine. Just then Jesse came. " Jesse" I called. " Yes sir." He answered. " let's dig up a little dirt...on that guy." I said sipping more of my wine. " Yes sir." He said before leaving. This is going to be interesting. I smirk at that thought. ___________ One year ago... " Love? Is that all you really want?" I asked June. Sliding a ring through her finger. " Wow,it's pretty." I commented. She stared at the ring for a while. " Yes." She said answering my first question.  
Life isn't as joyful with money... Jade POV. I know this is probably the last chance to hang out with my dad, so I decided to spend the whole day with him. I know I'm probably going to prison. We currently at a shopping mall.And I've been looking for what to get him, so I just let him put on whatever I see that was good at the moment. I was about choosing a shirt for him,then I remembered he doesn't really have a sweater to keep him warm. And I'll like him to be warm always when I'm gone. I went to the coat section. I spotted a red and black coat,big and thick. This should do. Why not. " Dad,try this one" I gave him. " Wear this again?" He asked. Sorry old man I know you tired b
Things fall apart... Jade's POV " Jade,when I was in middle school,my dad was protesting against wrongful dismissal,and his leg got broken from being crushed under a forklift. He didn't even get treated much,but he had to go to court right away. They said it was equipment damage. My mum had to pay the money back for ten years to the company that fired my dad." Williams said through the phone. Why is he suddenly like this. " ...Having no power is a sin and going against people with power is a sin...I wanted to change that..." He said, I could hear his voice break. Oh Will... " ...I wanted to show the obvious fact that everyone is equal before the law! " he shouts. " Will baby, you can do it." I respond. " that's why you worked hard until now, right?" I said already having tears in my eyes.
It judgment time...... Jade pov Hancuffed, I was in the room I was first brought in for questioning. I was thinking about my dad's health I didn't hear William come in until he sat down and made a noise with the chair. " Take off the handcuffs please" he ordered the security officer next to me. When she did he asked for some privacy and then she left. " Prosecutor-Jade shipman" we both called each other. " The evidence to support your claim has not yet been found" he continues. Okay but I got something else on my mind right now. " but are you still proclaiming your innocence?" he asked. I responded with nothing but: " My father, before I was taken away by cops was acting strange. He held on to his head and fell...." I was cut of
The joy and pain in having a child..... Jade pov " one,two, three,four,five,six,seven,eight" early in the morning by 7 am we were woken up for exercises. We were doing squats. We were given a trainee. " that's enough! Next...." I could've sworn he was talking but I couldn't hear exactly what he was saying. Wait, what's with the ground? Why's it moving closer. I feel light-headed. Thud! " Prisoner 208?" I hear faintly but I can't respond. I feel so tired. Before I knew it everything blacked out. "208? 208! " I hear again. This time I'm able to move. But...where am I? Okay? I seem to be on a soft surface. What's going on? I opened my eyes at the sound of the name given to me in prison. I stood up in a rush,but I was immediately pulled back by my right han
Your son is alive...Third person POV." Bright...your son. Don't you wanna see him?" Williams mum shocked both Jade and William" How dare you... How dare you mention my baby with your mouth?" Jade didn't realize but now she was in tears. William with his mouth hanging open too had a drop of tear fall off without him realizing it.His mum stood up and went into a room, she came back out with a black bag. Jade had sat down already in shock. The woman opened the bag and brought out some pictures and handed it over to Jade. Jade now noticing the pictures being presented to her took it. A boy, about 5 years old was in the picture." My so...son is alive, and...I didn't..." Jade had tears rushing down her face." there's no way I wouldn't have known..."William still in shock was staring at the boy's picture. His son was unbelievably aliv
Warning!!! 18+ Third POV The both of them stared at each other intently, oblivious to the world surrounding them. The sparks between them were undeniable as Nate grabbed Jade by the waist and locked his lips with hers. Jade could only describe it as something heavenly. She considered herself extremely lucky to get kiss of this caliber in her lifetime. She couldn't even think anymore. The only thing clear to her was the fact that she was kissing Nate and it was good. Their lips moved in perfect sync. His hands traveled over her body before settling back on her waist. Their kiss deepened and breathing got heavier. They didn't realize when they moved towards the wall right next to the door. The ecstasy and euphoria they felt at that moment clouded their minds. Nate pushed Jade against the wall and removed his lips, breaking the kiss. While she struggled t

Because of me... Third POV Jade was coming back from work after she went to Williams dad she was headed home then William came to attack her. " it wasn't enough that you got Nathan involved, you went to my father? What would make you stop this?" He asked. Jade had told his father everything he did to her. " I have no intention of stopping anything" Jade said with a cold look on her face. She was getting tired of this man's drama. " you're still in that place. Just the same. And I remember planning to bring you down." " Regarding your father, it was an accident" William said. " You lying scum! Say what's right!" Jade raised her voice. " it was not an accident, but murder" she said correcting him. " That can't be an evidence" William said. " it doesn't matter" sh
More plotting... Third person POV Elizabeth got to William's office after her not so nice talk with Jade. She stomped in,dropped her purse aggressively on his desk. " Elizabeth?" William called. "The chairman's illness seemed to be more severe than the rumors." She started. " the surgery was successful, we are watching for results." William said. " I told you that there isn't anyone who knows Nathaniel as much as me, didn't I?" She asked. " no matter how crazy he is over a woman,he can't abandon his family. Shake up the k group. If the chairman collapses,he will return." She said without blinking. Willam staring at this scary woman in front of him, agreed instantly. Joel, wanting to lure Nathan back home, met with him at his restaurant. " I heard about you, what did fat

He stood in front of the car. " move" she tried pushing him but he kept his stamina. Eventually she got tired. " I'm worried" he said and gave her a hug, she just cried even more. " what does he see in that woman exactly?" She asked and cried harder into the comfort of William. After Nathaniel warned his father he went straight to Jade's house. Jade on hearing him knocking and knowing he was the one she was quick to lock her door. " Jade! Jade! Open up!" He banged on the door when he heard she'd locked it. Jade resting behind the door, wa

Jade didn't respond, but she went through it. " its not over just because you got the investment. Duke's still observing the restaurant." Willam smiled wickedly. " The boss...isn't going to let go of the restaurant that easily." Jade said with confidence. Then Willam took some pictures out and showed Jade. It was taken when Nathaniel fought for her at the party the last time. It showed him punching Duke. Jade lost her expression while looking through the pictures. " I stopped the media." Will am stood up from his chair and moved close to Jade. " the rumors aren't that great right now,but if things like this go o

She didn't respond,but left him standing by his car, she headed inside. Her heart beating all so fast. She rested on the back of the door. She lets out a breath like she's been holding one before. What's happening to her heart. Elizabeth got injured at the process of breaking her mirror, William was quick to get an handkerchief and cleaned her bleeding finger. " Don't you think it'll be really dragging tonight?" Elizabeth asked. " Yo
Close... Nathaniel POV " President, I have found Stella." Jesse informed me. " Who?" I asked not remembering what he was talking about. Then Jesse brought her file out, right then I remembered. " Jade's cellmate from jail." Jesse said. " Oh, why did she report Jade?" I asked. " After she reported,thanks to the recommendation Willam wrote,while he was a prosecutor,she was transferred to a vocational training center." Jesse continued. " What?" " Yes sir. William was involved." Jesse brought out another file. " This is the screenshot of the parking lot CCTV that Miss Shipman requested. " He handed some pictures to me. It showed William taking Jade's father into a car. The night the man died. I remember seeing
