Chapter 61

Jack's POVHer death took away a part of my being that couldn't be replaced by any other, leaving me broken and deranged. I felt like I had lost everything, and the only part of me still alive was torn into pieces. It's been three solid years, and still, I couldn't get her off my mind or gain control of myself.If only she had agreed to do my bidding, if only she had given our love that one chance and opportunity to grow, maybe by now, I wouldn't be this broken. But maybe she still would have been gone. It's been three long years, yet everything I had ever planned was just buried with her in my heart.I turned my gaze outside the car window as Sam drove me to the meeting spot. My eyes wandered around, lost in my thoughts, as I watched the bustling city of Italy, absent-minded to the cars and rushing passersby. The traffic light turned red, and Sam pressed the brakes, narrowing his eyes at me through the rearview mirror. I could sense his thoughts without even looking directly at him.

Who was that?Celine’s povIt was already thirty minutes past the normal close of school. I knew too well not to keep Henry waiting, so I briefly closed the files and adjourned all unresolved issues to the next working day. I needed to go pick up my child. Over time, I had developed a routine of dropping him off and picking him up from school myself. I could easily hire the services of countless staff if I chose to, but I wouldn’t leave my son in the care of another when I was around and in good health.Henry was worth more to me than anything I had ever acquired, and so he was always my top priority. I hired a nanny and a cook just to please Evelyn, but their duties were strictly limited to my orders.“What’s going on there?” I asked Levi, who was also stunned by the crowd of people gathered in the middle of the road just after the traffic light. It was a wrong place for such a crowd, unless something bad had happened. I felt the urge to instruct Levi to drive around the crowd and he

Chapter 63

Her PlansI mean, how was I to come up with the story that his father was alive and living in New York? A city I hated because it carried nostalgic feelings and scars. Moreover, I wouldn’t start telling him how his father treated me and the resentment I harbored towards him. That would only be catastrophic for his tender heart, and I won’t let that happen.My heart never stopped pounding, thousands of thoughts clouding my reasoning. I wasn’t ready to drag my son into this fight. He was out of it and should remain so. However, I can’t deny the fact that he is still his blood. Harry was still his father. Crouching to meet his level, I planted a loving kiss on his forehead.“Cutie, your dad is somewhere very far away from this earth, but he loves you very much,” I said, a slight grin on my face.I never knew how those words were composed so quickly, but deep down, I was pricked for lying to him. He was far too tender to absorb the truth that his father didn’t care about him or value his

Her return“Mum, who were you yelling at? Did Auntie Evelyn wrong you?” His calm voice pulled me out of my thoughts, and I almost had a heart attack. I quickly turned to him, a grin on my face. “No, cutie, I wasn’t shouting at Auntie. We were just discussing something important,” I assured him.“Is that my little pumpkin over there? Please come over, Auntie wants to see you.”Henry chuckled as he went to pick up the iPad I had dropped on the bed, a smile spreading across his face as he greeted her.“Hello, Auntie, I’m glad you called. Mummy said something cool about my dad,” he smiled, tilting his head towards me, as if seeking my approval.I giggled back at him, his dimples on full display as he smiled, then tilted his head back to Evelyn, who was patiently waiting in anticipation for what he had to say.“Mum said Uncle Levi could be my dad. Isn’t that cool?”“Of course, little pumpkin! Do you like the idea?”“Yes, Auntie! Uncle Levi is such a handsome man and would be perfect for

Harry’s POV“Leave me alone! I don't ever want to see you again in my entire life. You're nothing but an asshole,” she snapped, rolling her eyes at me derisively. Never in my life have I felt this broken as I marched up to her, my eyes darkened with pain and regret.“I’m sorry, I sincerely apologise for the pains I’ve caused you all these years. Can’t you just forgive me?” I begged, tears forming at the corners of my eyes. I haven’t been in such a tight situation for a long time, and I didn’t even know how I felt. All I needed was her forgiveness. Grasping her arms, I crouched low, my knees hitting the floor.“What exactly do you want me to forgive? Where do I even begin to count?” Her tone dripped with intense pain, and I could feel how betrayed she was, which only made me long for her forgiveness even more. I wasn’t giving up on her, my heart shredding into pieces.“I’m sorry. I’m sorry a million times and still counting,” I said, my knees still on the floor, my heart in pain. Letti

What?“I mean, how could you, Mum? How could you hide something as delicate and derogatory as this from me, after all these years?” I yelled, my frustration piqued, trying so hard to remain poised. Glaring at the scenario, which was tearing my heart apart, was enough to drive me insane.The throbbing sensation in my head wouldn’t let me breathe for a single second, never giving me a moment's rest. It pounded like marathon runners’ feet. The next thing I remember was crashing onto the sofa behind me, my vision slightly blurry. Having been locked up for three days without food or water, except for some drinks, it was finally taking its toll on me.“Son, can you please calm down and tell me exactly what the issue is? I’m just stuck in between. I have no clue where you’re going with this,” she exclaimed, her voice masked in uncertainty.How could she not know what I was talking about? She should know, right? Or was she pretending? Could she truly be unaware of what I was saying? That’s im

UncertaintyJack's POV“How could he think of hurting them?” I snapped, almost yelling, my tone quivering as Sam delivered the news. I couldn't believe it had taken this long for him to uncover the truth, and the fact that Lily thought she could play the game better than me never ceased to amaze me, but I chose to remain poised. Getting over Emma and staying away for such a long time only gave her the guts and wings to fly.“Prepare the flight; we are going back to New York right away,” I instructed Sam, his expression overwhelmed, a glimmer of hope and excitement spreading across his face. I could sense his excitement; it was readable, like an open book. We were going back to base, and he wouldn’t need to suffer the torment caused by my lonely heart anymore.“Don’t get too excited yet,” I muttered, trying to dash his hopes, and my words hit their mark. His head lowered into the tablet he held, masking the sudden frown on his face.While sitting, I couldn’t bear a single moment of thi

That creeping feelingThe edges of my muscles tingled as she made her way into the private room. my heart couldn't stop longing for a touch, to taste what was beneath those tight cocktail slit that was just above her thigh, enough to reveal all that was there. This bitch really got me all turned on, I cursed in my subconsciousness, biting the inner part of my lips, my desire intensified, my cock hardened.This wasn’t the plan. I didn’t bring her into my chambers for this! How could I have been so shallow, even for a second, to think I could withstand the hot figure beneath the dress? My thoughts broadened, but deep down, I kept cursing myself, continually throwing darts at my conscience, watching her approach seductively towards the luxurious bed situated near the left side of the window. The room was large, and with every step she took, my desire for her grew. She was really a trained slut and was just playing games with my heart and emotions. My gaze never left that curvy, seductiv

That can't be true!Celine’s pov"Jess, girl, you look insanely hot—more beautiful than I ever imagined. I mean, you've changed so much," Evelyn praised, her hands moving quickly from my face to my shoulders in a split second. "To think I underestimated your looks over the video calls. It's just not adding up," she exclaimed, surprise spreading across her face."Evelyn, stop. You’re making me blush already," I said, shrugging a bit to free myself from her touch. She was just a friend, though she could be dramatic at times. "How can you say I look prettier than before? Haven’t I been communicating with you all along?"She groaned, forcing a frown. Was she serious now? Or had she really pulled me all the way from Italy for this?“You're not serious with this crummy makeup and stunt, are you?” I asked, knowing she wouldn’t stand a chance if I turned the tables on her."Now tell me, aren't you looking gorgeous too? Or haven't you noticed quite a difference in your appearance?" I teased. A

Chapter 70

My son, Harry!“What a small world,” she muttered.“Yes, indeed,” I said, lost in thought, my gaze fixed on an unidentified object, staring at nothing specific. It was as if my mind had numbed while I pictured the shocking scenario.“That's not all, girl.” Her voice snapped me back to reality, and my heart was on high alert, racing faster than a roller coaster. “Rumor has it that Anderson had a secret business deal with Jack. You remember Jack?” I nodded, still struck dumb by the news.“Yes, him. Jack was actually the one who initiated the sale to Anderson,” she said.“What?” It was a revelation that hit me hard. To think that Jack had slipped out of my mind all these years was unsettling. I couldn't comprehend or make sense of the scenario—Jack, Anderson, initiating the sale—it didn’t add up.If Jack initiated the sale of the company, it meant there was more hidden behind the scenes than anyone could see. It meant he might have had a hand in what happened years ago or was somehow con
