Jessica's POV

I couldn’t sit still while waiting for Sir Nicholas’ car. I don’t even know why I agreed to come with them. I was in the lobby of George’s office. He had something to sign, so he asked to be picked up here. He went upstairs while I waited. Sir Nicholas also offered that we just use one car. I was looking at my phone when someone suddenly spoke in front of me.

"Are these all your stuff?"

I looked up and saw Sir Nicholas standing in front of me.

It took me a while to respond. Why am I only realizing now that Sir Nicholas has a different kind of charisma? Even though he was dressed simply, he still stood out. He was wearing a white tee with pants. He also had shades on, which suited him perfectly. He looked like a model towering over me. If I didn’t stand up soon, my neck would start to hurt because he was so tall. He must be around six feet, while I’m only 5’3". I tried to hide my nervousness. I took a deep breath before speaking.

"Yes, that’s everything." I answered.

    Nick's POVI purposely stopped the car at a 7-Eleven because George mentioned that Jessica hadn’t had breakfast yet. He probably forgot about it because he was busy joking around with Sophia. I don’t understand what I’m feeling right now. I’m happy yet somewhat sad. A whirlwind of emotions. When I saw her earlier sitting on the couch, busy with her phone, I couldn't help but admire her simple yet stunning beauty.She was wearing a long-sleeve tee, cargo pants, and sneakers. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. She looked beautiful.As I walked toward her, I noticed some men staring at her. Indeed, she is a head-turner.When I suddenly spoke, I saw the surprise in her eyes. That was when I realized how long her eyelashes were and how beautiful her eyes looked as she gazed up at me. I paused for a moment. I felt butterflies in my stomach, but I quickly suppressed them. I ignored it. Falling for someone would only be an obstacle to my plans.While driving earlier, I secretly glanc

    Jessica's POV I can't help but admire the beauty of nature. Although the hike was tiring, it was truly worth it. Seeing the beautiful view in front of me makes all my problems fade away. It's like I'm in heaven because all I can see are clouds and the cool breeze.The hike wasn't difficult because there were railings placed along the way. You can also see that various trees were intentionally planted, which make the place even more beautiful.I savored the fresh air when I turned around and saw Sir Nick taking pictures. I noticed that his camera was pointed at me. I didn't want to assume he was taking a picture of me, so I just ignored it. "Jes, I'll just put your things in the other tent. You'll be sharing with Sophia later. Nick and I will be on the other side," said George.I didn't want to agree to share a tent with Sophia, but I had no choice. This camping site is so beautiful and fancy. When we arrived, the tents were already set up. The style was like capsules. George said th

    George's POVI was busy taking an important call earlier when I noticed that Jessica was missing. I walked around several times, but I couldn’t find her, so I started to worry.When I saw her wiping and cleaning Nick's back, I got a bit curious. The atmosphere between them was quite different . I can't explain it.I also noticed that Jessica’s face was blushing earlier. Well… I was just thinking maybe it’s because she was feeling hot. Jessica is a mestiza, so her skin turns red easily with just a bit of heat.Earlier, I also noticed that Jessica seemed annoyed with Nick, so I was wondering why she was cleaning his back."Do you like it here, Jes?" I asked her while we were preparing the barbecue."Yes… it's beautiful… It's like paradise, you know? You feel one with nature. It’s refreshing. By the way, do you and Sir Nick come here often?" she asked."This is my third time coming here. I really love visiting this place. But it looks even more beautiful now. They’ve improved it a lot,"

    Jessica's POV I was surprised by Sophia’s reaction earlier about Joseph. I can’t forget Joseph because he was the first person to discover my talent for painting. I wasn’t planning to sell my painting back then because I was shy, but he assured me that my work was exquisite. I couldn’t refuse anymore. When he handed me the check, I was shocked because the amount he paid for my painting was so large. From then on, my confidence grew, and I became more dedicated to improving my art. "You are a painter?" Sir Nick asked. "Yeah, I know how to paint… Just a hobby," I replied humbly. "I see…" He didn’t ask any more questions and just quietly stared at the fire, seemingly deep in thought. The heat coming from the fire gave me a strange feeling. The weather was perfect. There were so many stars sparkling in the sky. The sea of clouds at night was so magnificent. If you focused your vision on the clouds, you’d feel like you were flying. I couldn’t believe that a place like this exi

    Andrea's POVWe’re here now in the dining area, having dinner. We were discussing Jessica’s transfer to our company. I don’t want her there, but there’s nothing I can do about it. When Dad makes a decision, it’s final. I have to pretend that I’m happy even though, in truth, I’m deeply frustrated."When is Jessica transferring to the company? And why isn’t she here now?" Dad asked."I called her earlier, Dad. She said she couldn’t make it because she and George had plans. I didn’t ask where they were going. Also, she’ll start next Monday. George asked for at least two weeks so Jessica could properly finish her pending work. And as a boss, I understand him, so I agreed," I replied."Why didn’t you make her transfer right away!?" Dad demanded."George requested it, Dad. He wanted Jessica to have enough time to wrap up her work. And since I’m a boss too, I respected his request," I explained."Hmmm..."Thankfully, Dad didn’t push the matter further. The truth is, I was the one who suggest

    Nicholas' POV It has been a week since the camping trip, and I haven't heard anything from Jessica or George. I've been busy with so many things as well. I'm waiting for my next meeting, which is why I'm here in the office resting. I also just finished reviewing our new project.Jessica keeps popping into my mind. I can still remember her sweet scent when I caught her, and I can still remember her tears that I wanted to wipe away. The sweet moments we shared while watching the sunrise."Huhh!.."This is not a good sign.It feels like I picked up a rock just to hit my own head with it. I'm already starting to doubt my plan. Part of me wants to teach her a lesson for fooling me. However, the bigger part of me wants to know and protect her, which is not part of my plan.I'm even wondering why I would want to protect her. Is it because of the way she shed tears during the camping trip???"Aaaah!!! I'm becoming disoriented...!!! This is not me..."Dominic dropped the papers he was h

    Jessica's POVAfter a while, I started enjoying skating. My fear was gone. Rich and I just laughed whenever I fell. Somehow, during those moments, I forgot about Nick. Like now, Rich was happily showing off his skating skills. I could see he really loved skating. I just smiled while watching him, already tired from all the skating. After a few rounds, he skated toward me.“When did you learn how to skate, Rich? You're really good at it,” I asked.“Hmm, let me think.” He stroked his chin like he was deep in thought.“I think I started during elementary. I was challenged to skate because my friends teased me. It took a while before I could skate without holding onto someone,” he said with a smile.“I still remember how many times I fell. Too many to count. I almost gave up. Hehe.”“Did you join competitions?” I asked.“I fell in love with skating, so yes! Eventually, I got good and joined competitions.” Rich’s eyes sparkled as he said that, reminiscing about one of the happiest times in

    Jessica’s POVI glanced in the direction of Nick and Ate Andrea before getting into the car. I saw how bright her smile was while talking to Nick. I was holding back my tears. It hurt. Nick didn’t even want to listen to me. I sadly got into Rich’s car. Rich looked at me and smiled. "You know what? I know a place where happiness exists," he said cheerfully. I forced a smile."And where’s that?" I asked, a little doubtful. "Trust me! It’s a surprise. So, are you in?" he asked excitedly.It took me a while to answer. Maybe I did need a little distraction. If I went home now, Nick wouldn’t even talk to me. I’d just sulk in my room. It was only seven o’clock. I took a deep breath."Okay, let’s go," I said with a smile.A few moments later, I noticed Rich’s car pulling into a mall. I looked at him curiously."Have you tried skating?" he asked."No," I replied."Come on!" He pulled me toward the skating rink. I noticed there was no one else around. Just us. I looked at him questioningly.

    Nick’s POV “I think we should eat. The food’s getting cold,” I said firmly. Both Andrea and Jessica looked at me at the same time.“Oh yeah! Sorry, Nick! Let’s eat!” Andrea said sweetly.I was observing Jessica earlier while she was feeling embarrassed by Andrea’s remarks. I think it was a mistake to agree to have dinner with Andrea. Here I go again. Instead of staying mad at Jessica, my protective instincts are kicking in. I hate it when people mistreat her.I kept watching her as she ate. I felt like she hadn’t eaten again. She always does this and it annoys me.“Here, Nick, this one’s really good. Try it,” Andrea offered me some seafood and even peeled it for me. I just let her. “Thank you,” I replied briefly. She smiled at me so beautifully. I saw Jessica shoot a subtle glance at Andrea. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her expression. Then she pouted and quietly kept eating, focusing on her food. I could tell she was slicing her meat with so much intensity.Even the way she was

    Jessica’s POV I was shocked when I saw Nick entering our company building. I had just returned from lunch and was in the lobby. I was about to greet him, but I noticed the serious look on his face. His eyes narrowed when he saw me, so I stopped walking halfway. Nick really has a strong presence, especially when he’s in business attire. So powerful. I could hear whispers from people behind me.“He’s so handsome! Who is he??”“Oh!? Is that Nicholas Ford? Why is he here? I thought our companies were rivals?” “Damn! He’s even more handsome in person,” someone squealed with excitement. A few moments later, I saw Ate Andrea greet Nick with a smile. She even kissed him on the cheek, and Nick just let her. My fists clenched. “Oh-em-gee… this is hot gossip!! Could Ma’am Andrea be his girlfriend?? Wow! They’re such a perfect match! The Princess of the Construction Business and the King of Design. Perfect combo, even their heights match! Ayiiee, I’m getting giddy,” a flamboyant guy behind me

    Andrea’s POV Jessica and I arrived at the office at the same time. I could see how downcast she looked, walking into the elevator like she was in a daze. She didn’t even notice me. I smirked in triumph. I know I’ve successfully stirred conflict in their relationship. And I’m just getting started. I won’t let them get back together. I know Jessica, and I know Nick. I can play them both in the palm of my hand. I smiled to myself. Jessica’s steps looked so heavy. She left the elevator without even lifting her head. She just kept looking down. When I arrived at my office, I happily greeted all the employees there. I noticed them exchanging glances. Haha, they’re not used to seeing me cheerful and in a good mood.Once I got into my office, I called my secretary. She came in right away.“Kindly set a meeting with Nicholas Ford of AMT Construction,” I said.“Okay, Miss Laviste.” She was about to leave, but I suddenly thought of a great plan. “Wait! Ask if we could have the meeting here at

    Dominic's POVWe were still joking around in the pantry with one of the secretaries when we saw Sir enter the office looking grim. We quickly stood up from our seats and rushed to greet him. “Good morning, Sir!!” we greeted him with smiles.“Call the marketing team and the designers. We have an emergency meeting!!!” he said firmly.I felt nervous from Sir Nick’s aura and tone of voice. It’s been a long time since he acted like this. The secretary beside me looked at me with questioning eyes. I simply shrugged in response. I followed behind Sir Nick as he walked into his private office.“Sir, it’s not even eight yet, so some people aren’t in the office yet,” I said. He went straight to his chair and looked through the documents I had placed on his desk.“By the way, I’ve already set an appointment with Sir Carlos San Fernando. He said he’s available tomorrow night.”He looked at me for a long moment before speaking.“We didn’t get the project, so we don’t need a major investor anymor

    Jessica’s POVMy steps felt heavy as I walked out of Nick’s condo. My tears wouldn’t stop falling. I never expected Nick’s anger to run that deep. When I stepped out, I turned around to glance at his door. I couldn’t bring myself to walk toward Scarlett’s condo.I didn’t go home last night because Dad didn’t want me to. He said I should just go home in the morning. I was too busy taking care of Rich anyway. Dad insisted that I attend to Rich while he and Rich’s father played chess. So I showed him around the house. Some of my paintings were displayed there, and I proudly showed them to Rich. I loved how much he understood art, his knowledge of it was impressive. We were in the middle of a cheerful conversation when Sister Andrea arrived. I saw her walk in, clearly drunk, swaying as she entered. I was about to help her, but she gave me a “shh!” sign, reminding me not to mind her. Rich and I just watched her walk past. When I looked out the window, I thought I saw Nick’s car. I shook m

    Nicholas' POVI turned my back when Dad told me he loved Elena, even when my mom was still alive. I covered myself with a blanket and ignored him. I felt so betrayed. I was hurting for Mom. I couldn’t even bring myself to question Dad.“Let’s talk tomorrow, Nick, when you’re no longer drunk. I have something important to tell you too. Get some rest for now.”I didn’t respond, so he left me alone. He tapped me before walking out. After that night, we never got to talk again. I booked another ticket back abroad. Dad wasn’t there when I left because he had an emergency at the company. Since that night, my relationship with Dad changed. I became distant. I focused on studying and got into other extracurricular activities. I forced myself to take my mind off the Country and forced myself to be happy.Eventually, Elena and Dad got married. Dad sent me an invitation, but I didn’t go. I made up an excuse. Dad didn’t push me either. I spent more time abroad than at home. Elena treated me well,
