Chapter 1: First impressions

Julianna’s povBalancing the weight of the tray on my shoulder, I make my way through the crowded Golden Bistro, a restaurant frequented by the city’s wealthiest, known for its infamous dishes. It's only my first week working here.’’ Tonight, the place is busier than usual. As I worked my way around a table, I bumped into a solid figure, causing the wine to spill on him and the floor, shattering glasses and dishes in the process.‘’Oh my God. I’m so sorry’’. I stammer, biting my lips in nervousness while avoiding eye contact with the man I believe is glaring at me.The man barely moves but glances down at his now-stained suit with a look of pure disgust. ‘’Do you have any idea what you’ve just done?’’ He asks coldly, glancing at the stain on his suit once again. He shakes his head slightly, his eyes narrowing as they sweep over me. ‘’How do you even expect to keep a job here when you can’t manage something as simple as carrying a tray? Pathetic’’.My chest tightens with a mix of ange...

Ethan seems rude but there are a lot of demons in his past. Still, I hope Julianna makes him realize exactly how wrong his actions were

Reading this book has gotten me hooked. The tension between Julianna and Ethan Frost is not to be played with. You can feel the hatred between them. I would love to see more of what's to come.

Chapter 2: Nightmares
Ethan's POV “Yes, arrange the meeting Tomorrow. Goodnight“I glance at the pills, sigh, and swallow them with a sip of water–not because I want to, but because I need to close my eyes for a few minutes.Turning off the light, I let the darkness envelope me without me realizing it.*****I'm back in my childhood home. Smoke fills my lungs, my legs getting weak as I gasp for air, the flames spread fast with an immense energy, the heat unbearable, making my vision blur.“Williams, please! save me!Someone, please help!” I cry, biting my nails nervously. Tears stream down my face as I tremble in fear.“Ethan, calm down, I'm coming!”Williams yells back, his voice strained but filled with obvious determination. I see him dodging the burning debris as the fire grows wilder around him. He's coughing, the smoke getting to him, but he doesn’t stop.Finally, he reaches me, pulling me close. His strong arms guide me through the blazing fire. The door is visible to us, fire consuming everything

Chapter 3: Love and its complexities
Julianna's pov"I hold my phone tightly, calling Liam as I try to keep my excitement in check. Today is his birthday, and I've planned to surprise him with a cake.After two rings, he picks up. Hi babe. Happy birthday. I say with a smile, hoping he will be as excited as I am.Yeah, thanks, he replies, his voice flat, lacking the warmth I expected.I pause, frowning slightly. His response is colder than usual, but I put the thought aside. Maybe he's just busy. I wanted to wish you well and let you know that I won't be able to make it to your birthday celebration tonight. I have a lot to do. I'm sorry, but I will make it up to you.Oh? There's a strange pause. That's fine, kind of disappointing, but alright.Something about the way he says it doesn't sit right with me. There's no sadness, just a cold tone and…relief. I'm probably overthinking it. Yeah, I'm sorry, I add quickly.Sure. Bye, he says, hanging up before I can respond.I pull the phone away from my ear, staring at it in disbe

Chapter 4: Beneath the surface
Julianna's povI take a slow, shaky breath. Without looking back at the mess, I walk to the backdoor and lock up the bar. My body feels heavy, weighed down by everything that happened tonight. The rush of adrenaline from earlier is gone, I stand at the entrance for a moment, staring into the dark. With a deep sigh, I turn on the light, filling the room with a soft white glow. The light feels too bright, too normal for what just happened.I kick off my shoes, but I don't bother with anything else. Not yet. My feet take me to the bathroom.The cold floor tiles help me focus as I reach for the shower knob. The sound of water running fills the quiet room, echoing around me.I step under the water, fully clothed, letting the water drench me. My hair clings to my face, and my clothes stick to my skin, but I don't care. My fingers move mechanically, unbuttoning my dress, peeling it away until I'm bare, exposed.The warmth of the water feels nice against my skin, but inside, I still feel cold

Chapter 5: The way out?
Ethan's povMy alarm beeps, signaling me to get out of bed and face today’s fate head on, I step into the shower, the water barely soothing the terrible migraine that’s settled behind my eyes. Exhaustion pulls at me, but I fight back.Once out, I grab my phone and call Jane. She picks up instantly, like she’s been anticipating my Call.Hello, sir,’’ she says, her voice clear.‘’Did you reach out to the auditing team? I want every trace of those articles and pictures gone. I say, my voice rougher than usual from lack of sleep.‘’Yes sir. They are working on it now. She replies.‘’Good’’, I responded with finality, hanging up and heading out to my car.I immediately drive off, the city streets blurring around me as my mind races ahead. Today’s board agenda is simple–ideas to save the company’s reputation. But I'm curious to see if any one has a useful suggestion or if they are block-heads like I suspect. It’s obvious who’s behind pulling this childish and pathetic attempt t

chapter 6: We meet again
Julianna's POVThe Nexus Global international building stands tall in front of me, exuding power and sophistication. Stepping inside, I hold onto my bag tightly, my palm slightly sweaty. Today isn't just any day–it’s my first day working for Ethan Frost, a man I can barely tolerate but somehow can’t avoid.The receptionist directs me to the 13th floor, and as the elevator doors close, I remind myself why I'm doing this: for Henry. Whatever it takes, I’ll endure it.The elevator doors slide open to reveal a busy office space. Employees move around with stressed looks on their faces’’. It feels like I’ve willingly walked into the gates of hell. I pause for a moment, taking in the beauty of the well-furnished room.‘’ Ms. Adams?.’’A cheerful voice pulls me from my thoughts. I turn to see a woman approaching me, her professional smile warm and welcoming.‘’Yes,’’ I replied, steadying my voice despite my nerves.‘’Good morning,’’ she says, extending a hand. ‘’I’m Jane.

Julianna's POVI get home from work at 10 p.m., hours after my colleagues leave.Kicking off my shoes, I drop my bag onto my bed and sigh. Ethan Frost had ensured another exhausting day with his endless complaints.No matter how carefully I work, he always finds a reason to call out. It was like he enjoyed seeing my frustrated and miserable side.My phone beeps pulling me out of my thoughts. I hesitate before reaching for it, my stomach sinking when I see the name on the screen. Liam."Babe, Let’s meet. You know we need to talk."I stare at the message, feeling different emotions–anger, disappointment, and hurt. Does he even feel any remorse?I’d waited for this text that night, hoping for some explanation, an apology…something. And now? Now he decides to reach out? Before I can process it, my phone rings. His name flashes across the screen..Without a second thought, I hit the red button and toss the phone onto the bed. He doesn’t deserve my time, let alone a conversation.A f

Chapter 8: second chances?
Ethan's POVYou're late Miss Adams, I say, my gaze narrowing in displeasure as I take in her messy hair.‘’I…’’ she begins, but Rodney cuts her off."She was unable to find a cab", Rodney interjects defensively." I saw her on the street ‘ trying to get one, so I offered her a ride." I turn my gaze to Rodney, giving him an irritated look that silently challenges him to keep talking. He notices the warning in my expression and quickly looks away."Miss Adams", I continue, shifting my attention back to her as our eyes meet." You were saying something earlier?" I raise an eyebrow, waiting for her to speak.She hesitates before responding."The reason I’m late is that I couldn’t find a cab. And, as Mr . Rodney said before, he offered me a–’’I scoff, cutting her off mid-sentence. Tapping my fingers on the desk, I stare at her unimpressed.'" Miss Adams, do you think that’s a good excuse? You’re late because you were unable to find a cab? Wow." I lean back in my chair, my tone drip

chapter 9: Fractured Hopes
Julianna's POVI step out of the Nexus Global building, feeling like my soul slipping away. In the cab to Wilfred City Hospital, but my mind is blank. I don't want my brother to see me looking pathetic, so I pull out a small mirror from my bag and attempt smile. ‘’Come on,’’ I whisper to myself, my voice trembling. ‘’Why is it so hard to fake a smile?’’Tears blur my vision as i force my lips upward, but the smile feels fragile, like it could shatter with the slightest push. My cheeks ache from the effort, but I keep practicing, determined.When i reach the hospital, the artificial brightness of the lights feels suffocating. My forced smile stays plastered on my face as i enter Henry’s ward. My heart clenches at the sight of him–pale, weak, and barely recognizable as the lively boy he used to be.‘’Hey, little bro,’’ I say, as happy as i can muster. His tired eyes light up for a brief moment, and he manages a small smile.. I sit on the edge of his, wriggling my eyebrows playful

I unlock it and find a photo waiting for me–a picture of Julianna leaving the hospital. Her eyes red, and she looks like she’s struggling to fight back her tears.A slow smile spreads across my face. Watching her look so vulnerable? It puts me in a surprisingly good mood.I can imagine the look on her face when she receives Jane’s text.Julianna…the more I get to see your different sides, the more curious I get. I mutter to myself, still staring at her picture. **********`I get to my house at 11pm after a pretty long day. I shower quickly and scroll through my social media.
