Elmer's POVJessica and I were happily talking because she was telling me about her conversation with Rolando.I made the right decision to bring her into the company. She will be the key to saving our company. A huge amount of money is being lost, and Andrea doesn’t know about it.I invested in a big project, but the project failed. Rolando’s investment will save the company. When I talked to Rolando at a gathering, he mentioned meeting Nicholas and Jessica. That’s when I found out that the woman he was fond of was Jessica.I learned that he was pleased with her and wanted to set her up with his son. I saw a great opportunity to secure his investment in the company. I admitted to him that Jessica was my daughter.That’s why I allowed Jessica to work in the company, even though Matilda was against it. Matilda didn’t talk to me for days because of my decision. She’s too biased toward Andrea."Do you think he will agree to invest in the company?" I asked Jessica."Yes, Dad. I think so.

Jessica's POVI was stunned by what Dad said. I felt like I was glued to where I stood, unable to believe what I had just heard. I looked at my sister, silently asking for help. She looked furious."Are you happy?" she asked sarcastically."Now you know how business works! You think you’re so great!" she spat out with frustration."We tried to keep you away from this world, but you keep forcing yourself into it! Now, face the consequences, Jessica!"She stormed out of the office, slamming the door behind her. It felt like all the energy drained from my body. I sank onto the sofa, overwhelmed by how quickly everything was happening.I was both happy and nervous when I found out Dad was promoting me. I thought I could finally help Dad and my sister.

George's POVI’m excited for Scarlett. It’s been a few days since we kissed on the Ferris wheel, but we haven’t talked since. I don’t want to bother her because I know she’s under a lot of pressure for this event. Besides, I’m still unsure about my own feelings.I've been contemplating. I can’t seem to get Scarlett out of my mind. I don’t know if I’m ready to start a serious relationship. I’m too busy, and there are still so many things I want to do.For now, maybe it’s best if we just stay friends, I convince myself.When I entered the gallery, I saw that there were a lot of people. Her exhibit was a success. The people here weren’t just anyone. There were senators and their spouses, artists, businesspeople, and other high-profile individuals.Even though I’m used to events like this, especially when I’m with Nick, I can’t help but feel a little small in comparison to the people around me.

Jessica's POVI never thought Joseph would be this affectionate in public. His aura has always seemed strict and serious.I suddenly remembered our camping trip… I still can’t forget what Sophia said, that Nick wore her out and that his hotdog was delicious?I got curious about what exactly Nick did to make her so tired. I know I had no right to feel jealous at that time, but that’s what I felt. Maybe I was already attracted to Nick back then. The thought made me smile.Watching Sophia and Joseph now, they look so in love with each other. Maybe I judged Sophia too quickly. I suddenly missed Nick. I wish he were here.I noticed George standing behind me, so I greeted him with a smile. There were now five of us walking around, admiring Scarlett’s paintings. Suddenly, Joseph asked:"Miss Laviste, when will I see your artworks again?"I smiled and shook my head."I don’t know yet when I’ll go back to painting," I answered honestly."I hope it’s soon. I can’t wait to see your masterpiece a

Scarlett's POVI was so happy today. I didn’t expect so many people to come to my solo exhibition, especially the people who are dear to my heart. My heart is full.Earlier, when I found out that Sophia already had a boyfriend, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. George is just naturally friendly, and that’s something I really like about him. I also noticed that he kept looking at me while we were walking around. It made me smile secretly.I was also happy that he didn’t leave right away and waited until the event was over. I knew he was busy with his company, yet he stayed.We entered the restaurant with excitement. But once we were seated, I felt like someone was staring at me. I ignored it at first. However, after we placed our order, I lifted my head and unexpectedly locked eyes with the man who harassed me at the gym. He was with another woman and he smirked at me.My heart suddenly pounded, and I felt nervous. I knew my dad had assured me that I was safe and had

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!

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,
