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, cheating, asshole?” I cried, hitting his chest with my fist “ I loved you. I loved you so much and this is what you give me in return? Why? Why did you do this to me? And, especially with my best friend?” I then turned my attention to my friend.

“And you? How could you do that? I never considered you as my best friend but my sister then how could you do this to me? Doesn’t our friendship matter to you at all?” I asked, and in response, she stayed silent, with that stupid grin still plastered on her face. Like she was feeling a little bit guilty or bad.

I was like in an utmost state of disbelief and shock, the following moments were a blur to me as if I was just a passer-by in the scene. The feelings that shook my mind within me were as anguishing as the next moment of my life. Such efforts to rationalize were in vain; there was no excuse for the betrayal of Gabriel.

“You know what? I can’t be here anymore. This is over.” I said, wiping my tears while trying to act strong “You and me, we are over. I am breaking up with you.” With that said I took off the pendant Gabriel gave me and threw it on his face in anger “You both can go to hell for all I care.” I spat and went running out of my apartment with tears streaming down my cheek.

Once I reached my car and settled on the driver’s seat, only then did I let myself break down and sob, clenching my heart that was aching badly from the heartbreak. Gabriel and I have been dating for the past three years, only to find out that he was cheating on me with none other than my best friend Monique.

I needed my brother right now because he has always been there for me whenever I needed him the most and right now I really needed him. I wiped my tears and placed my foot on the accelerator as I brought the engine to life. I was driving towards the airport to pick up my brother when my phone decided to ring, flashing my brother’s name on the screen which made me frown. Shouldn’t he be on the plane right now then how come he is calling me?

“Hey, Zach? How come you are calling from the plane? Is your flight landed already?” I asked, trying to keep my voice confident and strong but I knew I was failing miserably. Zacharias is a soldier who can detect everything in a heartbeat.

“Hey, little sis. Is everything alright? Were you crying?” he asked, his voice laced with worry.

“I am alright. It’s nothing.” I replied, “You didn’t answer my question.”

“I know I promised to be there for your birthday this year but please forgive me. I am so sorry, Juliet, but due to some emergency I have been appointed to this mission so I have to leave for the mission soon. Please forgive me. I really want to be there with you but I can’t.” Zach apologized, if my heart wasn’t broken already, it was more broken now because I was looking forward to meeting my brother, especially right now but I can’t worry about him when he is going on a mission.

“It’s alright, Zach. I understand and I am so glad and proud to know that our country comes first for you, like it should.” I tell him in an understanding tone “We will meet after you return, and it will only be possible if you stay out of danger and take care of yourself because I love you. After our parent's death, you are my only family, the family that I don’t want to lose.”

“I know, baby sister. I promise to come and meet you first thing after I return from this mission, alright?” he said and I hummed when he went silent and asked, “Are you sure that everything is alright, Juliet?”

“Yes, brother.” I answered “I am driving right now so I will call you later, okay? Goodbye!” I hung up in a hurry when the emotions were taking over me. I don’t know when I began to cry, causing my vision to go blurry I didn’t see the truck coming my way, and before I could process it, everything went dark in front of my eyes and felt unbearable pain burning all over my body like my spirit was leaving my body and this was my last day of the life.

“NOOOO!!!” I woke up screaming with tears of fear in my eyes, breathing heavily with my hand clenching something soft. I looked around the unfamiliar surroundings until my eyes landed on the most amazing, hot, sexy, and handsome man.

The same man who makes my heart race just with one single sight of him, the same man I have been crushing on since childhood, the same man I spent the most beautiful night of my life three years ago. The man is none other than Nicholas Carrington, my brother’s best friend and the forbidden love of my life.

“Relax, you are safe now. I am here. It’s alright.” Nicholas was by my side in a heartbeat, while trying to comfort me by taking my hand in his with a concerned look on his face.

“Nic…Nicholas? What am I doing over here? What happened to me?” I asked with a frown until I remembered that the dream I just saw wasn’t a dream but a memory “I…I was in an accident. I thought I died then how come I am here?” I murmured, with trembling lips.

    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

I would have let him as his lips are really kissable and can tell do wonders on any woman's body, except for yours, since you don't have got natural one but filled with God knows how much silicon valley." I snapped, rudely making Anica's body to tremble with anger."You bitch! He's mine and I won't let you snatch him away from me. He loves me and I love him. You are just a whore who is trying to come in between us." Anica shouted and I laughed while Nick gave me a death glare, and I rolled my eyes."Fine, do whatever you want with plastic barbie, but out of my hospital room since I don't want to see you both doing disgusting this." I snickered and watched Nick drag Anica out of the room while I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath and cursed at my messed up life.After a few minutes, Nick entered with a straight expression and spoke."Did you really have to do that?" he asked, his hands in the pocket

    Juliet Diaz:-Two Weeks Later"And, where do you think you are going?" came Nick's voice the moment I began to step out of the house dressed up in my office attire, ready to go for work. Now that I have healed, it's time to take my life back in control. I need to go back to work and find a cheap apartment in order to move out of Nicholas's place. "To work," I answered, turning around to face the magnificent man dressed up in a button-down white shirt and dress pants, holding his white coat and briefcase in his hand."Please, Nick. Don't argue with me on this. I need to go and work, or I will be fired." I pleaded, "I am done resting, and I feel better. All thanks to you, but I really need to go. I can't stay at your place forever. I have to work and find a place of my own."For the last two weeks, Nicholas has been so kind and caring towards me, helped me out in any way possible, and as much as I hate to say this, we felt close. He didn't cross any line, as I knew he wouldn't due to m

    Juliet Diaz:-"What?!" I asked, stunned as I heard him speak. "Ki...Kiss you?""Yes, Jules. Kiss me," he answers, caressing my cheek softly. He bent down to run his nose against the skin of my neck and inhaled my scent while I felt shivers running down my body. He raised my chin with his index finger, bringing his lips close to mine for a kiss when his pager decided to ring, informing him about an emergency. He groaned as he pulled back and cursed."Fuck!" He cussed, running and punching on the door beside me in anger. I flinched, and he instantly felt bad, and guilt overtook him. "Sorry...I am so sorry; I didn't mean to scare you.""It's...It's alright," I replied, barely audibly. "You should go. You are needed at the hospital.""Come on, I will drop you off at your office. It's going to be on my way to the hospital," he announced, carrying my stuff along with his. He dragged me with him, locking the door behind him. I will drop you off and come to pick you up myself, so you better c

The moment I pushed his assistant and slammed the door open, what I saw made me gag and stop dead in my tracks."Oh my God! Your dick is tinier than my pinky finger." I insulted my boss, who was fucking my colleague's mouth with so much pride, as if he had got a monstrous dick or something."Really, Emma? I thought you had some standards, but then again, you are fucking him for promotion to get my position, and it looks like you succeeded by making him fire me for no reason. You knew that you didn't possess marvelous architectural skills but were good at being a whore, so you chose to do what you were good at. Didn't you?"Emma gagged, choking on her boss’s so-called pride and tearing herself away quickly, wiping her mouth. Her face was pale from embarrassment and shame; she looked horrified.

I knew Nicholas hated romantic comedy movies, but for me, he was watching them with his arm wrapped around my shoulder and my head resting on his chest."How are you feeling now?" Nicholas asked, looking down at me, and I smiled."Much better. All thanks to you." I thanked him, "You made me feel better. It was just a lot of stuff came crashing down on me. I moved to New York to start my life and make something for myself, be with the man I love, and blah blah blah. Then, a few weeks back, I found my boyfriend was cheating on me; I got into an accident and almost died if it wasn't for you saving me, got homeless, and now jobless too.""It's alright, and like I said, everything is going to be alright, and until you find a new job and a place of your own, you are free to li

    Nicholas Carrington:-The whole night, it seemed that I couldn’t sleep. Throughout the entire night, I barely stopped myself from thinking about her. About Juliet. What happened between us last night?Her lips were on my mouth. Her body melted into me as if she belonged there.Almost loss of control.I had sworn never to cross that line again. I learned my lesson three years ago and did not intend to repeat it. So I was in bed lying and playing back every second of last night. I rubbed a hand down my face, groaning. This was wrong. Juliet was Zacharias’ little sister.I had no business being in love with her and kissing her like that. And yet…I sat up, sighing frustratedly, and rubbed my temples. The only way to clear my head was to remind myself of who I was and to whom I owed my loyalties.Anica.I needed to see Anica.She was my fiancée, the woman I should be thinking of, not Juliet.With determination, I took my keys and went out of my penthouse.

    Juliet Diaz:- I don't know when I cried myself to sleep on the bed all curled up, but when I woke up, I wasn't alone; I was wrapped up in Nicholas's arms, who held me securely to him as if he were scared of losing me. The events from last night came crashing down on me once again. I didn't want to bother Nicholas, as he was already hurting. He looked exhausted but peaceful as he slept, which is why I didn't want to disturb him.I was just about to pick up my phone to call Zacharias when I heard Nicholas murmur sleepily with his eyes still closed as he pulled me to him more tightly than he already was and kissed the side of my head."It's no use calling Zacharias right now because he won't pick up, baby." he murmurs, "He has already left for his mission, hence why he is going to be out of reach, and let's hope during his time away, he calms down.""What?!" I became attentive after hearing him say the word "mission." Zacharias, my brother, has left for his mission, all hurt and angry w

    Nicholas Carrington:-I stood there, watching the woman I loved fall before me. The silence broke as her sobs tore, driven by a knife through the silence, and Juliet fell to her knees. She cried and covered her face with her hands, shoulders shaking violently as she gasped for air.This broke me; I had never been broken before like this, but seeing her like this broke me, and the fear of losing my only friend broke me. It gutted me.I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled sharply before kneeling in front of her. As I reached for her, I spoke to her and murmured, “Jules.” At first, she flinched, her body trembling, but when my arms came around her, and she did not struggle, she collapsed against me, her face buried in the hollow of my chest. Her whole body was shaking with uncontrollable sobs, and her fingers clutched at my shirt as if she thought I would disappear. And she choked, “I ruined everything. I lost him, Nick. I lost my brother and now....now...he—he hates me. My brot

    Juliet Diaz:-"Oh my God, yes, just take me....can't hold on anymore, Nick. I want you right now." I moaned and spoke during the kiss as we kissed in the elevator."Gosh, baby! You make me lose control. I need to be inside of you right now!"The moment the elevator opened and we stepped out, Nick pinned me against the closest wall to him and lowered my neckline to kiss on my neck and collarbone. He was pulling the zipper of my dress down with his expert hands when we heard the voice of the one person we were scared to hurt.Zacharias. My brother. Nicholas's best friend."You might want to stop right there, you motherfucker."My entire body froze. My hands had left his dress instantly, as if ‘burned,’ and Nicholas went rigid against me. As I slowly turned my head toward the entrance of the penthouse my breath hitched. Fury seeping off of him from a few feet away. His characteristically calm and composed demeanor was nowhere to be seen. His jaw was so clenched that I thought his tee

    Juliet Diaz:-I stood in front of the mirror, admiring the Dior dress Nicholas had gifted me yesterday, with a smile on my face. I was all dolled up and ready for our first date, just waiting for Nicholas to return from his shift. He would have been here, but an emergency surgery arrived at the last minute, which is why he was running a little late.Zach has already left for his mission. This morning's goodbye was too painful—it always is—because, as a soldier, I don't know if he will return alive or dead. The next time Zach returns, Nicholas and I will come clean and confess everything to him.I hate lying to him, just like Nicholas, but I am more scared of hurting him by breaking his heart and his trust. He is the only family I have, the brother who devoted all his life to raising me and making me the woman I am today. He is the best brother in the world, and Nicholas is the best man for me.

    Nicholas Carrington:-I sighed as I searched for the perfect flowers to apologize for this beautiful, annoying, and the best woman I have fallen in love with and wish to spend my whole life with. Yes, Juliet is the one I want as my life partner—no one else—just her."Can I help you with anything, young man?" a beautiful and cheerful-looking old woman asked as I was lost in finding the perfect bouquet for her.I turned towards the elderly woman, smiling small with my face away from her as I did. "Yeah, I need flowers. Something special." A smile appeared on her lips as she looked at the many things available to choose from in front of us. "Special for a girlfriend? Trying to confess you love or, you’re desperately trying to apologize to someone?" Shaking my head, I let out a short laugh. "Both, actually." She chuckled knowingly. "Ah, I see. What did you do?" Running a hand through my hair, I exhaled heavily. "Nothing too bad. Just… I might have angered her by bringing up a subj

    Juliet Diaz:-"Nick, is everything alright? You look lost and worried," I asked Nicholas as I placed my hand on his at the dining table when we were having dinner. Zach was out to run some errands before he left for another mission. I was feeling sad that I got to spend very little time with my brother, but I knew how much his duty meant to him. Zach lives to protect the country."Jules, I don't think I can do this anymore," Nicholas murmurs, suddenly making me gasp and my heart sink."Wh...What do you mean by that, Nick? Is everything alright? Did I do something wrong?" I asked, worried. Tears are already forming in my eyes."No, I don't mean it in that way. I can't keep on lying to Zach. I can't keep our relationship hidden from him. He is my best friend, Jules, and your brother. He deserves to know the truth. I already feel guilty for lying to him the other day at the hospital." Nicholas groans, running his hand over his face. "Gosh, I feel like the worst friend over here.""Wh...W

    Nicholas Carrington:-I went to check up on Zach in the middle of the night in his private hospital room when I found him awake and sitting, checking on his phone with a stiff expression. He must have felt my presence as he raised his eyes and looked at me, more like he glared at me and asked the question I dreaded the most."Are you fucking my sister, you asshole?" Zach's words were blunt as he spoke, and I gulped as I felt like sinking six feet under the ground. I wanted to tell Zach the truth, but not like this, not under these circumstances. I want to tell him the truth in the presence of Juliet."What the fuck?!" I pretended to be shocked and disgusted as I knew my best friend better than anyone, which is why I know he is good at reading facial expressions, so I have to maintain them."You heard me, Carrington, so answer me. Are you fucking my baby sister behind my back? Is there something going on between you two that I should know about?" he asked, getting furious."What?! No,

    Juliet Diaz:-We remained tightly entwined after Nicholas's heat left my skin. Our breathing remained heavy, and our hearts beat at the same rhythm. My hand created slow circles on his exposed chest, and the heat in his skin felt through my fingers.A husky tone colored his voice as he pressed a gentle kissing motion onto my lips. “Come on a date with me.”I stared at him with an expression full of astonishment. “A date?”He smirked. “Yes, Juliet. A proper date. I wish to cherish you through an unforgettable date while introducing you to everyone as my ultimate love.My cheeks turned pink, but I expressed my agreement with a friendly expression. “I’d love that.”He kissed me again with increasing depth just as his phone started vibrating on the nightstand. His hands reached for the device when a call was displayed on the screen of his phone, and his expression instantly changed.His exhaustion caused him to sit up while he muttered, "I have to take this call."His facial expression sh

    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. Anica was crying, pretending to be innocent, beside them. I tightened my grip around her, framed in my arms instinctively to keep her safe from whate
