Nicholas POV

I’m in the office right now, signing some documents. I'm in a hurry because I have to attend a meeting about the bidding results. After signing everything, I stood up and handed all the papers to Dominic. I fixed myself before heading out. While we were on our way to the meeting, we got caught in a small traffic jam. Suddenly, I saw someone familiar eating at a restaurant. I frowned, it was Jessica and Rich. They were laughing and clearly having a good time.

I clenched my jaw and looked away. I called her. After a few rings, she answered.

"Hello, love!"

"Where are you?" I asked directly.

"Ah, I’m having a meeting with a client! You?" she said.

I glanced at them again, Rich was clearly focused on her.

"Which client?" I asked.

"Hello? Hello... hello love..." It seemed like her signal was gone.

I decided to turn off the phone and look straight ahead. I didn’t want to look in their direction because I might not be able to stop myself from going over there and dragging Jessica

    Jessica's POVI wake up early to cook breakfast for Nick. The bidding results will be announced soon. I wanted to make him feel that no matter what the decision is, I’ll be here by his side. I also plan to finally tell him about my family later.“Hi Love, good morning.” Nick came out already dressed and ready to go to work. “Eat breakfast first.” I offered “Humm, smells good,” he said. “You shouldn’t have gone through all the trouble. You might be late for work.” He hugged and kissed me.I pushed him gently and seated him at the table to eat.“Hurry up or you might be late,” I said as I sat in front of him to eat as well.“By the way, Love, I have something important to tell you later.”He stopped eating and looked at me.“Please, Love, let me finish first before reacting,” I said nervously.He nodded and smiled.“Of course! Love,” he replied. I smiled at what he said.After breakfast, Nick left first for work. I also rushed to get ready so I wouldn’t be late to the office.When I a

    Nicholas’ POVAfter dropping Andrea off, I headed straight to the bar. I knew Jessica wasn’t at the condo yet because she was still at Andrea’s mansion.I ordered liquor and drank it immediately. Everything felt so heavy. I couldn’t accept that I didn’t get the project. I can’t explain what I’m feeling right now, regret, disappointment, anger? Jealousy?I ordered another drink and kept drinking. Then I noticed a woman sit beside me, subtly lowering the strap of her dress. I smirked. If this were before, I probably would’ve gone along with it. She was attractive and seemed game.I decided to call Jessica.“The subscriber cannot be reached. Please try again later.”“Shit!!” I slammed my phone on the table. I kept drinking. I tried calling George, but he didn’t answer either.“Why look for someone who’s not there when someone else is right next to you?” the woman said.I just looked at her and continued drinking.“Did he cheat? You cheat? Or are you the one who got cheated on?” she asked

    Nicholas’ POV “What was that, Jes?? Not important????!!” I asked Jessica, raising my voice.“Is that really how little I matter to you, Jes? Is that why you thought it wasn’t important for me to know everything!? Do you really think your lies, your betrayal... were just minor things??”I pulled my hair in frustration, trying to hold back the rage building inside me.“I’m... I’m so... sorry, Nick!!!” Jessica said through tears.“I know... I know I was wrong. I should’ve told you everything right away. I’m sorry... you should’ve heard it all from me, not from Andrea,” she cried.I didn’t want to see her cry. Because the truth is… it hurts. Even though I’m furious at her, I still want to hold her. This heart loves her too much. But I won’t let her manipulate me just because I love her.“Leave…” I said quietly.“Nick, please, let me explain…” Jessica pleaded.“JUST LEAVE, JESSICA!!!!!” I shouted, loud enough to shock her.She froze where she stood. Her body trembled and she went pale fro

    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,

    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

    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

    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!

    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
