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

Nick's POVExhausted! That's exactly how I feel right now. I've been meeting with a lot of clients over the past few days, but I haven't closed a single deal yet. I badly need an investor for the company's expansion. That's the only way I can convince the shareholders. 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 POVThe sandwich Sir Nick made and the noodles were delicious.I ate all of it, turns out I was really hungry. I started feeling better afterward, and the dizziness was gone.After eating, I cleaned up the dishes and washed them.I wandered around his condo. It was spacious, very masculine, and had a minimalist design. There was nothing fancy about it, no wall décor, just some plants. It felt lifeless somehow, like something was missing. But overall, it was well-designed. There was a large black sofa, and on the right side of the room, there was a treadmill and some gym equipment. The whole condo followed a simple color scheme, gray and black.I had already circled the condo a few times, but Nick still hadn’t come out of his room."Maybe he fell asleep?" I thought.I decided to knock. After two knocks, there was still no answer.I turned the doorknob, and it opened. I just poked my head inside.“Nick???” I called out.He turned to look at me. I saw that he was on a call on h

George's POVI’m on my way to the office when I received a call from Jessica. I’m currently at a hotel near the airport. I just finished a meeting with a client. Fortunately, I have no more meetings lined up. My business partnership with the client was successful, so I’m in a good mood today.“Hello, Jes! What’s up???”“George, can I ask you a favor???” she asked anxiously.“Sure, what is it?”“My best friend just arrived at the airport. I promised to pick her up, but I suddenly got pulled into a meeting with Dad. I remember you said you were near the airport. Can you pick her up for me? Her condo is just near.. please...”“Okay, I see. Sure. Just send me her picture and let her know that I’ll be the one picking her up.”“Thank you so much, George! You’re such an angel!!”“Jessica!!

Thank you for flying with us, and we hope you had a pleasant flight." I woke up because of the pilot’s announcement. After three years, I’m finally back in my country.

Scarlett's POVI got into the car while waiting for George to finish loading my luggage.Through the front mirror, I could see that he was sweating. The sun was really hot. His skin was turning red, and sweat was dripping down his face. When he got into the car, he kept turning his head as if looking for something.I felt sorry for him, so I handed him my handkerchief."Use this to wipe your face. Don’t worry, it’s clean."He looked at me first and smiled before taking the handkerchief."Cute!" I thought to myself. He actually looks cute when he smiles."Thank you," he said, smiling."Thank you, because you find me cute!" he teased, flashing a dazzling smile.I froze. Wait… did I say that out loud???I pretended I didn’t hear anything and looked out the car window. But deep inside, I was so embarrassed. My face was burning red."Is it okay if I turn on the music?" he asked.I just nodded.When we reached the busy road, I heard him start singing along with the radio.🎵🎶 If the world

Jessica’s POVMy heart was pounding so hard that I could barely breathe.I didn’t expect that Nicholas Ford had a childish side. I was dumbfounded by his actions.Just like earlier… I was comfortable and genuinely enjoying my conversation with Rich. He’s deep and insightful. What’s even better is that he loves art, which is why we connected so well. I loved how he shared his experiences and how he viewed art. I missed talking to people who appreciated art the way I do.That’s why I was furious when Nicholas started spouting nonsense. I didn’t want Rich to think I was that kind of woman.Dad also wanted me to make a good impression on Rich since he’s the son of his friend. I don’t want to disappoint Dad. What would he say if he found out about what happened?And worst of all… I was completely thrown off when Nick said that I was his?!At that moment, part of me felt happy and excited.But when I remembered his kiss with Andrea during the conference, I realized that maybe Nick was just

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,
