Unstoppable Desire (English) Chapter 21
Chapter 21I’m here at One of the five star hotel in the country. It’s our Quarterly Meeting, which is also doubling as an acquaintance party.I’ve been busy talking with our shareholders, business partners, and distinguished guests.I’m checking my phone, it’s almost 10 PM. I just came from an out-of-town trip and went straight here to attend the party, so I’m exhausted. I’ve decided to leave the party early. Thankfully, I already had Dominic book me a room here. I don’t think I can manage the drive back to my condo. All I want is to lie down and have a good rest.While walking toward my room, I started loosening my tie and unbuttoning my shirt. I feel like I’m suffocating.When I checked my phone, my brows furrowed at the notifications. I stopped walking. "Purchase confirmation from a restaurant in this hotel" "Purchase confirmation from a shop in this hotel""Purchase confirmation from a shoe store in this hotel"My brows knitted together.I don’t recall asking Dominic to buy a

Nicholas' POVAs I slowly pulled down her dress, my heartbeat pounded louder and louder. As her bare back came into view, I felt my body heat rising. I carefully slid her dress down. "Oh… Shit… She's not wearing a bra." I quickly stood up and took a deep breath.I don’t know why I’m finding it difficult to undress Jessica when I’ve done it so easily with other women before. I grabbed a towel and a bathrobe to cover her chest before completely taking off her dress. "Perfect!"Jessica is now wrapped up. I managed to put the bathrobe on her. "Huh! After a million years…!"I carried her again and placed her on the bed. She was still fast asleep. While carrying her, I noticed that the lower part of the bathrobe was soaked.Her underwear was wet. Now that I’ve laid her on the bed, I’m torn about whether to remove her underwear or not. I decided to go with the first option. For health reasons, I need to remove her underwear, I convinced myself. "Huh!!! Breathe deeply, Nick!" I encoura

Jessica's POVI had such a good sleep. I could feel the warmth coming from the person next to me. I instinctively snuggled closer. But after a few seconds, I froze."Wait??? Someone’s beside me??? I’m sleeping next to someone???"My eyes shot open, and they widened even more when I realized that I was hugging the arm of a man?, and my hand was resting on his bare chest. He wasn’t wearing a shirt."Waaaahhhh!!!" I screamed in shock and immediately kicked him off the bed. He fell to the floor."Wha... what?... What did you do to me?? Why am I here?? Why am I na... naked??!!!"My heart was racing. I was only wearing a bathrobe. I peeked underneath it. Yes, I was naked. I started pacing back and forth on the bed, trying hard to remember what happened. My head hurt. I was dizzy. I held my temples and pulled at my hair, completely confused.I was startled by the sound of the doorbell. But what shocked me even more was when I realized who the man I had been sleeping beside was."Sir Nick???!

Jessica's POV"I understand your concern, Mr. Hugo. Compared to the first project we did for you, it’s indeed higher. However, we both know that the previous project was five years ago. And the tentative start date for this project is two years from now., almost seven years. Considering the inflation rate and the continuous rise in material costs, along with a struggling economy, the price we quoted you is reasonable. If you look at the clauses stated in the proposal, it’s mentioned that if the price of steel does not increase, we can adjust the agreed price accordingly.""Aside from that, our company is offering you the installation of solar panels, a drainage system, and even gardening services, which,. according to the clause, includes up to five years of maintenance. I believe this wasn’t included in the previous project we did for you. You know how our company works,.. we aim for excellence.""Based on my study, the amount you’re investing in this project could be recovered withi

Nick's POVI was already dressed when I came out of the bathroom. I was adjusting my necktie while walking toward Jessica. I noticed she was sitting at the table with a very red face. I furrowed my brows. She seemed to have a fever.I approached her and placed my hand on her forehead. Her eyes widened, and her face turned even redder. I ignored it. I also checked my own forehead to compare the temperature.Her forehead was warmer compared to mine. Maybe she caught a cold because she was soaked last night."You seem hot... maybe you have a fever. I'll call someone to get you some paracetamol," I said."No, no, no! My head just hurts, but I don't have a fever," Jessica quickly rejected."Why haven't you eaten yet? You need food to help with your hangover," I asked."I was waiting for you!" I felt like there was something so comforting about how she said that. I didn’t know why, but it made my heart feel light. I smiled."Okay, dig in!" I ordered.She looked at me first before starting

Andrea's POVI immediately stopped working when someone suddenly entered my office. I quickly stood up when I saw that it was Dad, and he looked furious."Why did you send Jessica to Mr. Hugo??? Are you out of your mind, Andrea???" he asked, seething with rage.I expected Dad to get angry, but I didn’t think it would be this bad. Still, I was prepared for this."You know how important that project is!!! But you took it for granted!!! On Jessica's first day yesterday, you already sent her out???""I called Mr. Hugo's office and spoke with his assistant. She said the deal wasn’t closed." He slammed his hand on my desk."What’s worse!! Jessica arrived late to the meeting, which made Mr. Hugo even angrier!!!" he continued.Yes!!! My heart was celebrating. I deliberately sent her because I knew it would be impossible for her to close the deal. I didn’t even give her the details about the restaurant. I wanted her to fail and be embarrassed so she would learn her place. I also want Dad to re

Jessica's POV“Huh! Finally, I’m done. My head still hurts though,” I muttered as I rubbed my temples. I applied for an early out today because my body just couldn't take it anymore. I still feel like I’m floating.I only forced myself to finish the proposal for Mr. Hugo. Good thing Sir Nick gave me a ride earlier since I was in no condition to drive. I called our driver and asked him to pick up my car at the hotel.I can't help but smile. Nick was different today,., attentive and caring. He even accompanied me to the restaurant to retrieve the things I had left behind. He knew I still felt dizzy, so he made sure to support me while we were walking.I told him that I could just book a Grab, but he insisted, saying something might happen to me. I couldn’t stop myself from feeling giddy.“We’re not even friends… so why is he being so nice to me? Could it be…? Could he possibly… like me?” I whispered to myself, feeling my heart race.“Oh my God, Jessica! You’re such a delusional frog!” I

I only have one month left , I'm running out of time.I was already in the elevator, heading up to my unit. I glanced at the watch on my wrist, it was already 10:00 PM.No wonder I feel so sleepy. This is usually the time I go to bed when I'm not busy. I haven’t had any proper rest lately.I leaned against the cold wall of the elevator, my body weighed down with exhaustion. My eyes were starting to close when I heard the sound of the elevator, signaling that it had stopped.When the elevator doors opened, I was stunned to see the woman standing in front of me.She looked exactly like Jessica.She was slightly bent forward, her eyes were closed, and her head was drooping. She was wearing a hoodie and pajama bottoms. It w

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,
