George's POV

I was at the gym when Nick called.

"Yes, hello, Nick!"

"Are you available today?"

"Can we go to the bar?" he asked.

"Oh? Did something happen? Sure!" I asked curiously.

Most of the time, whenever Nick invited me to a bar, it meant he was dealing with a serious problem.

"9 PM at High Level Bar."

"I'll book a private room for the two of us."

"Okay, see you then," I said before hanging up.

I continued my workout. I had just finished on the treadmill when I noticed a woman walk in. I smiled and approached her. It was Scarlett.

"What a coincidence! You work out here too?"

She just raised an eyebrow at me. She looked sexy in her gym outfit. She was wearing a cream tank top paired with leggings and athletic shoes. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she also wore a headband.

"Hey! Wow, you're really ignoring me," I called after her.

She walked straight to the pulldown machine as if she hadn’t seen me.

"Maybe she's in a bad mood again because of her period," I thought.

    Scarlett's POVI am brave, but I couldn't help feeling nervous about what the police officer said. I started regretting my impulsiveness.Now, George is involved. I'm worried for him. I saw how the man looked at him, like he was seething with rage and seeking revenge.I didn’t want to withdraw the case, but Dad texted me, saying he had already spoken to the man’s father. That I didn’t need to worry about my safety. I know the guy wasn’t sincere in his apology, but I need to listen to Dad.We walked out of the police station in silence, both deep in thought. Night had already fallen by the time we left. George was holding my arm as we walked out, supporting and protecting me. I felt thankful and overwhelmed.Even now, I was still trembling. I kept thinking, what if his fist had actually landed on my face? The thought sent shivers down my spine.When we reached the parking lot, George opened the car door for me. I looked at him with sad eyes before getting in. He then entered the driver

The mere thought that their relationship might be special makes me jealous.I need to make things clear.I’m also frustrated because it’s been a week since I confessed my feelings to Jessica.And yet, we haven’t had a proper conversation since. All we exchange are simple “hi,” “hello,” and “bye.”If she’s not at work, she’s always with her best friend, Scarlett, who never lets her go. It makes me feel like I don’t matter to her.We haven't talked seriously again. Also, I miss her… so much.I miss her kiss. Every time I remember it, my body heats up.

    Nicholas' POVI snapped back to the present moment when I saw George enter the private room."Sorry, Nick. I'm late. Something happened," he said."Uuhh??!… Do you have a deep problem? Why is this already half-empty???"He pointed at the bottle of liquor on the table.He took the bottle and poured himself a little into his glass to drink. I also felt like the alcohol was already getting to me."I'm dating Jessica!!" I said straightforwardly.George froze, his glass of alcohol still in the air."Jessica???" he asked."Jessica Laviste," I clarified.He paused for a moment before finally drinking the alcohol in his glass."How serious are you with Jessica?" he asked seriously, pouring himself another drink.I took a sip from my glass before answering.But George spoke first."If you are not serious, Nick, then stay away from Jessica now."I smirked at what he said. It reminded me of what Scarlett told me before."What is Jessica to you, George?" I asked seriously.I looked him straight i

I’m worried because Nick might get jealous. I need to let him know. It’s possible that Rich and I will be spending a lot of time together.As soon as I entered, Scarlett greeted me.“Boobae…”She hugged me tightly. I could feel that she was carrying something heavy inside her.I pushed her gently and looked into her eyes.“Are you okay?… Did something happen?”She shook her head and hugged me again. I just hugged her back. I’ll wait until she’s ready to talk. I pinched her cheek.As I put down my bag, I heard my phone ring. It was Nick. I smiled.

    Jessica's POV So heavy. But I managed to place him on the bed. This is the first time I've entered his room. It's so clean and organized. He has a king-size bed. It's huge. The only thing I saw hanging on the wall was a painting, but I couldn't make out what it was since that part of the room was dark. I removed his shoes and socks, as well as his coat. I noticed that he was sweating. I had just turned on the air conditioning. I took off his shirt. His body was mesmerizing. I wanted to touch the firmness of his muscles. They looked so solid. "Hihihi." I held myself back. I grabbed a washcloth from his closet, dampened it in the bathroom, and returned to him. I wiped his face, his neck, then moved downward to his chest. "Uhhmmm," I heard him moan. I smiled. After finishing, I covered him with a blanket. I sat at the edge of the bed and watched him sleep. This is the first time I’ve looked at him up close. His nose is perfectly shaped, complementing his small face

    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

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,
