I miss her like crazy!

Chapter 61Julian's POV "I don't know what to do. I can send Jenkins away, but do I have to kill Alex? I know he's a murderer who killed an innocent woman, but it's hard to..." Jaxon said, his voice trailing off. "Do you drink?" I asked, trying to distract him from the heavy burden he was carrying. "Yes, I do," he replied. "Should we go and have some drinks?" I suggested, hoping a little alcohol courage might help him get away from his guilts even if it's just for a while. "No, i can't drink tonight. The deadline is tonight. I need to kill Alex and Jenkins, or better yet, find a way to do it that will make Victoria believe I have killed them," he said, urgency creeping into his voice. I fell silent, my mind racing as I considered the implications of his words. The weight of the situation settled heavily on my shoulders, and then an idea crept into my mind. "You know what?" I said, and Jaxon looked up, his eyes locking onto mine. "First, let's get a hold of Jenkins. I hav

Trapped

Chapter 62 Julian's POV "I will only forgive you on one condition: whenever I need your help in exposing Victoria, you will surely help," I said, my voice steady despite the turmoil in my mind; everything felt so unreal. "I will surely do, sir. I've learned my lesson; after everything I did for Victoria, I can't believe she wanted to kill me," Jenkins replied, his voice shaking, the weight of fear palpable in his tone. He looked as if he might burst into tears at any moment. "Well... now to the plan. We'll send you far away for now, and then your wife and children will join you after we've succeeded in exposing Victoria. We can't send your family away with him; it would look suspicious. Right, Jaxon?" I turned to Jaxon, who was leaning against the wall, arms crossed. "You’re right, but we need to inform his wife about this. Victoria is cunning; she might decide to pay his family a visit to gauge their reactions to the supposed death of their breadwinner," Jaxon said, his brow f

Mine from the start!

Chapter 63 Victoria's POV I ended the call with Jaxon, and the weight of our conversation lingered in the air like a thick fog. Sighing, I picked up my purse and headed outside, feeling a mix of anticipation and dread. The cool evening breeze brushed against my skin as I stepped into the parking lot, my heart racing with every step toward my car. I slid into the driver’s seat and turned the key in the ignition. The engine roared to life with a satisfying growl, its sound a brief comfort, a reminder that I was in control—even if only for a moment. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my knuckles turning white as adrenaline coursed through me. I glanced at the location Jaxon had sent me, the address flashing ominously on my phone's screen. I was headed there with a singular purpose: to see Alex one last time. Just one last glimpse of his face before he disappeared from my life for good. The thought made my stomach churn, a tumultuous mix of anger and a twisted sense of closure. Al

Exhausted

Chapter 64 Julian's POV FLASHBACK TO AN HOUR AGO “What are we going to do?” I asked, resting my chin on my hand, my mind racing. “I don’t know. We have to get something done before she gets here in less than thirty minutes, or if we want her to burn him instead,” Jaxon replied. “Thirty minutes is too short! Is there no way to keep her occupied for at least an hour from coming here? Or better yet, to prevent her from coming at all?” I pressed, frustration bubbling inside me. “You know Victoria. If I call her back now and start giving her flimsy excuses for why she shouldn’t come, she’ll see right through it. Even if my reasons are valid, she'd be suspicious,” he said, his gaze unwavering. He was right, and it only added to my anxiety. “Fuck! Why can’t I think of anything? Why is my mind so blank?” I muttered, running my hands through my hair in desperation. “Is nothing coming to your head?” Jaxon asked, fear laced on his face. “Let me think,” I replied, my voice betraying my p

Caught in the act!

Chapter 65 Julian's POV “How is he?” I asked Dr. Phoenix as he stepped out of Alex’s room. I had been in the waiting room for the past thirty minutes as Dr. Phoenix attended to Alex. “He’s stable more that he was yesterday,” Dr. Phoenix replied, his voice steady but tinged with concern. “We’ve done what we can, but he’s still a little critical. He was actually lucky to get saved quickly, but he has some burns on his body, especially on his legs and arms, but we will keep monitoring him closely.” “When will he wake up?” I pressed, needing to know how much longer I would have to wait. “He should wake up within twenty-four hours,” he answered, his gaze softening slightly. “Can I see him?” I asked. “Of course,” Dr. Phoenix said, stepping aside to let me enter. “Thank you,” I replied, my voice barely above a whisper as I pushed through the door. Inside the room, the atmosphere was heavy with the sterile scent of antiseptics and the rhythmic beeping of machines. The sight of Al

I'm so glad you’re back!

Chapter 66Sophie’s POV "Where are you going, Soph?" Isabella's voice stopped me in my tracks. "That's not the way to the hospital." "Shhh!" I whispered, turning to her with my finger pressed to my lips. "Julian is behind that green grass." My heart raced at the thought of seeing him again. I turned back, trying to move as silently as possible, but my heels were a betrayer. "What are you doing, Soph?" Isabella stepped in front of me, blocking my view. Her brow furrowed with concern. "How the hell could Julian be here? Is this the pregnancy hormones talking, or are you just imagining things?" "At least let me check if I’m right or wrong," I insisted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I know it was him. He’s probably here to see me." My conviction felt like a fragile thread, but I clung to it. Isabella's expression softened, but her worry was palpable. "Do you really think if Julian was here to see you, he would be hiding? He’s not here, Soph. You need to let this go." I knew sh

In soup!

Chapter 67 Julian's POV "Well... you have no choice but to do what I say," I said, my voice steady despite the tension crackling in the room. "And why would I do what you say?" Alex barked back, defiance lighting up his features. It had been three days since Alex was pulled from the inferno that nearly claimed his life, and today was the first time I faced him. Marcus had moved him into my house just yesterday after his discharge from the hospital. The sight of him tied to the edge of the bed was both satisfying and unsettling; he looked vulnerable, yet the fire in his eyes remained. "It's your choice, actually," I shot back, leaning closer. "Do what I say, or I’ll hand you over to the police." My tone left no room for argument, a finality hanging in the air like a thick fog. "You’re not even telling me what you want me to do," he spat, anger boiling over. "And even if you did, I wouldn’t work with you. You snatched the girl I love from me." Without thinking, I punched him squa

Julian is getting married to Victoria...

Chapter 68 Julian's POV A WEEK LATER I stepped out of my office, This past week has been damn crazy! It had been nothing short of chaotic. Alex still hadn’t agreed to work with me, and I hadn’t been able to see Sophie since my last visit. The longing to be with her gnawed at me; I missed her more than I could express. Isabella had been a lifeline, sending me pictures and videos of Sophie, and each one reminded me of the warmth of her smile and the way her laughter lit up a room. I cherished those glimpses, but they only deepened my ache to be with her in person. I miss her reactions whenever I touch her. Heck! I miss everything about her! As I navigated through the bustling office, I tried to shake off the anxiety that had settled within me. A swarm of reporters descended on me immediately i got out of the building like bees drawn to sugar. It had been a while since I’d faced this kind of media frenzy, and the sudden attention sent a wave of feelings I can't describe over me

Tears fall like rain

Chapter 69 Sophie’s POV Fuck! I just finished eating in less than two hours, and I am hungry again. Is this how I would continue eating every hour? I went into the kitchen and dished the remaining spaghetti in the pot. I doubted the food would be enough. I put my plate on the table and picked up my phone. I was so bored as hell! I scrolled through my apps, but there was nothing to do. Nothing! I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. As I was about to change the channel, my heart raced at the sight of Julian. He was surrounded by reporters, and I felt a familiar ache in my chest. I increased the volume, and what I heard next made me stop mid-bite. Julian is getting married? To Victoria? I didn’t even notice when the remote slipped from my hand. The reporters bombarded him with questions, but he remained silent. Was it just a lie? Was it Victoria's handiwork? Did she plan this all along? Yes. She definitely planned it. I answered myself. There’s no way Julian would do this to m

Secret admirer?

Chapter 70Sophie’s POVToday is Julian's fucking wedding day! For the past few days, I've tried not to shed a tear, even though it’s been incredibly hard. Isabella and Mom have been here to keep me company, providing the support I desperately need. My mom is going to be discharged tomorrow, and finally, I can be with her again, even though she doesn’t know I’m pregnant.I sighed as I stepped out of the shower, steam enveloping me like a comforting blanket. I rummaged through my clothes, after wearing a bra and a pant. Finally i decided on wearing a blue gown. This particular gown was Julian's choice from our last date, and the memory of it made my heart ache. No, I shouldn’t wear it. It would remind me too much of him. But, wait... it’s not like I won’t see him at the wedding. I’m going to his wedding! I will definitely see him.I sank onto the bed, my body hitting the soft mattress with a thud. I can’t believe I’m going to watch the man I love marry another woman. Not just any woma
