Juliet Diaz:-

Jared approached my desk and handed me two cups of coffee; I had just finished organizing my files.

He smiled and set one before me, saying, "For you."

I went to look at it, then looked back at him. “What’s this for?”

He replied, "You’ve been working nonstop. " This should help keep going. ”

Picking it up, I hesitatingly did so. "Thanks, but you didn't need to."

I stood from my desk, and Jared leaned against the edge of it, watching me as I took a sip.

Since we finished the Harper project, we could go to a celebratory dinner. Just us.” I swallowed, lowering the cup.

“Dinner?” He nodded. “No work talk. Just good food and conversation.”

I paused, ready to respond with something, and then suddenly, a familiar presence opened my mouth. There was something unspoken in the air in the room, which shifted thick. My head turned, and I looked to see Nicholas at the entrance of my office.

The icy, sharp eyes locked onto Jared were unreadable, but his expression was noncommittal.

    Juliet Diaz:-Before I could open my mouth and make an excuse, Nicholas interfered by announcing."Oh, you know how much your sister hates me but loves to always argue with me." Nicholas rolled his eyes as he spoke. "She is never going to grow up and stay a pain in the ass.""I don't argue, you do!" I spat in anger, glaring at him. Nicholas smirked and opened his mouth to say when Zacharias came in between and announced."Knock it off, both of you! Can you both get along for once in your life? I can't even imagine how you both will be living together for the past few months. I am surprised to see you both alive and in one piece." Zach spoke, chuckling and pulling me in for a brotherly hug as he kissed my forehead, "Now, let's go inside."The Penthouse door clicked shut behind us, and I kicked off my heels with a slight sigh. Zacharias shrugs off his jacket, puts it over the back of the couch, and walks in like he owns the place.He muttered, grabbing a glass, “This place hasn’t change

She's like a sister to me.It stung through me, and the only thing that could shut him up was to do the one thing that would sure as hell piss him off.

    Nicholas Carrington:-The early morning sun barely peeked through the windows as I felt the weight of her still in my arms. Juliet. Her breath warm against my chest, her body still enveloped in the love of my arm, she was curled into me. I hadn’t moved all night. Not when my muscles cramped.Not when I was exhausted. I didn’t care. She needed me. I had to be here for her, and I needed to be.The memory of last night would never settle out in my veins. Fury was still boiling under my skin, and I thought I wanted to track Jared down and finish what I started. But for now, Juliet was safe. She was in my arms, where she was supposed to be. Just as I was beginning to wake up, some sharp voice broke the peace.“What the hell is this?” I shot my eyes open, and my body became rigid.My parents stood over me in matching looks of disgust and fury.

    Nicholas Carrington:-"Hey there, pal! Has your flight arrived in New York?" Just after I emerged from a lengthy surgical procedure, I talked to my best friend on call. As usual, the hospital was inundated with patients and crises, and as usual, I was engrossed in treating them to the point that I neglected to arrange for my driver to get my friend from the airport. He and I have had our respective hectic schedules over the past year, so we haven't seen each other For the past year."Regarding that, I know I said I would see you, buddy, but something came up. Because one of my comrades was injured in combat and is unable to continue the operation, I have been ordered to fill in for him." In a low, remorseful voice, he informs and continues, “As much as I want to meet you, I can’t, and hope you are going to understand. Duty calls. I became a soldier to serve this country and to dedicate myself in protecting its people, and by refusing to attend the mission, I feel like I am doing wrong

    Juliet Diaz: -I was so excited about my brother’s arrival today, which is why I took a half day from work and returned home with flowers, some groceries to cook dinner, and a few helium balloons. I haven’t seen my brother for the past year which is why I was so excited to meet him today but as soon as I entered the apartment that I shared with my boyfriend I stopped dead in my tracks with tears in my eyes, when I saw him fucking none other than my best friend Monique.They both were lying naked on my bed, with their moans echoing in the bedroom, the bedroom that I shared with my boyfriend Gabriel.“What the hell is going on over here?!” I cried and yelled out in anger and a heartbroken voice.“Oh my God, Juliet! What are you doing over here?” Gabriel pulled away from Monique in shock with his eyes opened wide as he stared at me while Monique sat there with a bitchy grin on her face, not even bothering to cover her nakedness.“How could you? How could you do this to me, you lying, che

    Juliet Diaz:-“Just relax. Take a deep breath. You are safe now. I am here. Just take a deep breath and calm down.” Nicholas said, wrapping his arms around me carefully, making sure he didn’t hurt me anywhere. I don’t know why but I instantly calmed down in his arms as I imagined the night we spent together and the way his hug gave me warmth that night “You all right, now?”“Ye…Yeah, I think so.” I answered in a low painful voice as I hissed in pain, making him instantly pull away to examine me, with pure worry and concern evident on his face. The kind of concern and worry I didn’t see in Gabriel’s eyes for me ever.“I am sorry. I didn’t hurt you, right?” he asked, in a panicked tone “Does it hurt anywhere? How are you feeling now?”“It hurts pretty bad but I guess I am going to live.” I answered with a small smile “I guess you were the one who saved me, right?”“Well, I won’t take the full credit because it was the paramedics who brought you here on time.” He said scratching the back

    Juliet Diaz:-"Oh my God, Jules! What's all this mess, and what's with this burning smell?"Nicholas's worried voice came down the hallway as I tried to hide the evidence of the burnt chocolate cake I prepared for Nicholas out of jealousy when I found his female nurse feeding Nicholas her cake, and Nicholas liking and complimenting it, in a flirty tone so I wanted to show him that I could make a better one, and the only cake he is only allowed to eat is mine, but clearly the evidence is the proof that I suck at cooking and baking as not everyone can be a good cook like Nicholas.I picked up the burnt cake and tried to dump it into the trash yet Nicholas entered the kitchen before I completed the action. Nicholas gazed at the chaos in surprise with his sharp blue eyes as he saw the countertop covered with flour dust and cocoa powder spillage while burnt sugar left an intense scent in the air. I forced a nervous smile. "Surprise?" Nick raised his brow while crossing his arms. His wo

    Juliet Diaz:-"Are you, Miss Diaz, the architect who worked for Charles Whitmore?" a businessman in a three-piece suit asked when I was sitting in the cafe, having a cup of coffee, and designing a house for my client as I worked as a freelancer in my spare time."Ummm, yes, and you are?" I asked as politely as I could, but I couldn't help raising my brow. And how do you know my name?""Hello, It's nice to meet you. I am Jared Osborne from Osborne Architecture Firm, and I have a job position for you, " the handsome-looking tall man announced.I put my coffee cup down, flattening out my fingers a touch around my pen, and looked at the man in front of me. His eyes were on mine, expecting some sort of response from me, and his expression seemed composed."A job position?" I repeated, tilting my head. "I'm afraid I don't follow. How do you know about me?"Slinging his hands into his pockets, Jared gave a little smile. "I caught your work on Whitmore’s latest project. Several people in the

    Juliet Diaz:-Sunlight of pure gold warmed my body while I stood on the wooden villa deck, which offered an endless view of glistening turquoise ocean depths. The breeze played with the strands of my hair, salt and tropical flowers filling the air. This place was Paradise, a world far from the chaos of our past.Nick drew my body against his strong physique and placed his hands around my waist. “You’re daydreaming again, angel,” he murmured against my ear … his rough voice from embracing the waves. I smiled, leaning into him. “Can you blame me? This place is unreal.”His chuckle pierced as he pressed a lingering kiss on my shoulder. "An entire day filled with exploration awaits both of us. Let’s make it even better.”The jungle trek, which began in Ubud's verdant private lands, formed our first destination for the day. We walked down thick tropical forests with a local guide by our side, pointing the way, passing hidden waterfalls that sparkled in the sun's light. On another occas
