Nick’s POV

I noticed some commotion near the buffet area, and I saw that Jessica seemed to be involved. I walked toward them, and my ears burned when I heard what a woman was saying. I was about to approach in anger, but then I stopped and smiled.

Jessica didn’t need me. She could defend herself. That only, made me admire her more. I watched as she walked out like a model, but the moment she neared the door, she suddenly picked up her pace as if she were running away from a dog. I smiled even more.

"She is so cute," I whispered to myself.

I was about to follow her when someone suddenly blocked my path.

"Nick! You look dashing tonight. I wasn’t able to congratulate you earlier.. It was a fabulous presentation," Andrea said enthusiastically.

"Thank you! Please excuse me," I said hurriedly, trying to leave.

"Nick! Are you avoiding me?" she asked, her voice trembling as she grabbed my arm.

"I know Jessica is not your girlfriend. I know you only did that to hurt me. I know what we

    Chapter 9Jessica's POV5 Days LaterI was in the painting room of our mansion. Daddy didn’t allow me to leave the house after he found out what I had done. I had no idea how he found out. When I arrived at my condo after the business conference, I received a call from Daddy, ordering me to come home that same day. I could still remember how furious he was that day.As soon as I arrived home, I felt nervous. I expected that they already knew what I had done. When I entered the house, I ran into Manang Lita."Good evening, Manang. Where’s Daddy?""Good evening, Senyorita. He’s in the dining area," she replied.I took a deep breath before entering the dining area. I saw them eating in silence at the long wooden table. Various dishes were served, and servers stood nearby, waiting for their orders. The atmosphere was tense. It had been months since I last saw Daddy and Mommy, so I was happy to see them again."Good evening, Dad, Mom, Sis," I greeted them cheerfully. I kissed them one by o

    Chapter 10Jessica’s POV"Manang, has Daddy come home yet?" I asked one of our housemaids who had just brought me a snack."Not yet, Señorita," she replied.I simply nodded and continued painting. I still couldn't understand why they wouldn’t let me help with the family business. I went against their wishes to further hone my painting skills and studied business instead. Not to boast, but I know I'm already good at painting.Many people admire my artwork and want to get to know me, but I chose to remain a secret. I don’t know why,. I guess I’m just not ready to reveal myself to the world yet. Maybe it’s because I grew up always confined to my room, never allowed to come out during family occasions. Only a few people even know that Daddy has another child. I used to ask them why, and they always told me it was to keep me safe because the business world is dangerous. I understood their reasoning, especially since my grandfather was almost kidnapped before. Maybe that’s why they are so s

    Nick's POV"Sir, the CCTV footage from the hotel in B City that you requested has been sent to your email."I was in my office when Dominic, my assistant/secretary, handed me some documents to sign. After I signed them, he went back to work."Thank you, Dominic," I said as I returned the documents to him.For the past few days, I have been busy with work. Occasionally, I would remember Jessica, but I had more important things to focus on.I opened my email and started watching the CCTV videos from the hotel conference. I paused when I saw one particular video—Jessica was holding a flash drive. I replayed it several times. It was clear from the footage that she looked uneasy. I frowned. In another video, she took it to... Andrea’s room?My heart suddenly pounded faster."Am I right about Jessica? Is she a spy?" I muttered to myself.I carefully studied the videos over and over again, and there was only one conclusion. Jessica and Andrea knew each other.I felt my anger rise.So Jessica

    Jessica’s POV As soon as I arrived at the office, I happily went straight to George’s office. "George! I miss you, I am so happy to see you," I greeted him cheerfully and hugged him. "Oh? So, you’re leaving me? After all the training I gave you, you’re just going to leave me like that? You just used me," he joked dramatically. My smile grew even wider. "You already know?" I asked excitedly. "Of course! I’m your boss. Your sister called me and said she wanted to transfer you to their company. Ha! She thought it would be that easy to take away one of my best employees," he said. "Ayiee…" I teased. "Thank you George for letting me use you," I said playfully and winked at him.He just laughed, then suddenly looked at me seriously. "I’m really happy because, finally, your dad has seen your efforts. I know how much you want to prove yourself to him. Just give it your best, and I know your dad will be proud of you," he said."I hope so… and thank you so much for always being

    Jessica's POV I couldn’t sit still while waiting for Sir Nicholas’ car. I don’t even know why I agreed to come with them. I was in the lobby of George’s office. He had something to sign, so he asked to be picked up here. He went upstairs while I waited. Sir Nicholas also offered that we just use one car. I was looking at my phone when someone suddenly spoke in front of me. "Are these all your stuff?"I looked up and saw Sir Nicholas standing in front of me. It took me a while to respond. Why am I only realizing now that Sir Nicholas has a different kind of charisma? Even though he was dressed simply, he still stood out. He was wearing a white tee with pants. He also had shades on, which suited him perfectly. He looked like a model towering over me. If I didn’t stand up soon, my neck would start to hurt because he was so tall. He must be around six feet, while I’m only 5’3". I tried to hide my nervousness. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Yes, that’s everything." I answered.

    Nick's POVI purposely stopped the car at a 7-Eleven because George mentioned that Jessica hadn’t had breakfast yet. He probably forgot about it because he was busy joking around with Sophia. I don’t understand what I’m feeling right now. I’m happy yet somewhat sad. A whirlwind of emotions. When I saw her earlier sitting on the couch, busy with her phone, I couldn't help but admire her simple yet stunning beauty.She was wearing a long-sleeve tee, cargo pants, and sneakers. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. She looked beautiful.As I walked toward her, I noticed some men staring at her. Indeed, she is a head-turner.When I suddenly spoke, I saw the surprise in her eyes. That was when I realized how long her eyelashes were and how beautiful her eyes looked as she gazed up at me. I paused for a moment. I felt butterflies in my stomach, but I quickly suppressed them. I ignored it. Falling for someone would only be an obstacle to my plans.While driving earlier, I secretly glanc

    Jessica's POV I can't help but admire the beauty of nature. Although the hike was tiring, it was truly worth it. Seeing the beautiful view in front of me makes all my problems fade away. It's like I'm in heaven because all I can see are clouds and the cool breeze.The hike wasn't difficult because there were railings placed along the way. You can also see that various trees were intentionally planted, which make the place even more beautiful.I savored the fresh air when I turned around and saw Sir Nick taking pictures. I noticed that his camera was pointed at me. I didn't want to assume he was taking a picture of me, so I just ignored it. "Jes, I'll just put your things in the other tent. You'll be sharing with Sophia later. Nick and I will be on the other side," said George.I didn't want to agree to share a tent with Sophia, but I had no choice. This camping site is so beautiful and fancy. When we arrived, the tents were already set up. The style was like capsules. George said th

    George's POVI was busy taking an important call earlier when I noticed that Jessica was missing. I walked around several times, but I couldn’t find her, so I started to worry.When I saw her wiping and cleaning Nick's back, I got a bit curious. The atmosphere between them was quite different . I can't explain it.I also noticed that Jessica’s face was blushing earlier. Well… I was just thinking maybe it’s because she was feeling hot. Jessica is a mestiza, so her skin turns red easily with just a bit of heat.Earlier, I also noticed that Jessica seemed annoyed with Nick, so I was wondering why she was cleaning his back."Do you like it here, Jes?" I asked her while we were preparing the barbecue."Yes… it's beautiful… It's like paradise, you know? You feel one with nature. It’s refreshing. By the way, do you and Sir Nick come here often?" she asked."This is my third time coming here. I really love visiting this place. But it looks even more beautiful now. They’ve improved it a lot,"

    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,
