The fall

Chapter 21Andrea’s POVHuhhh… I let out a deep breath of relief. I was finally done for the day. The day had been longer than I expected but I made it through with a smile. My first day was over.I stood up, closed my laptop, and gathered my things. Stretching my stiff shoulders, I looked around the office one last time to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything. Satisfied, I grabbed my bag and headed for the door.As I stepped into the hallway, I adjusted the strap of my bag, which kept slipping off my shoulder. The heels of my shoes clicked against the shiny floor, echoing softly in the quiet space. Just as I reached the elevator, the sound of approaching footsteps made me pause. The familiar scent of cedarwood and leather reached me before I even turned my head.Jake.I glanced sideways to confirm, and sure enough, there he was—walking beside me with his usual composed expression.“I see you’re leaving,” he said smoothly, his deep voice breaking the silence.“Yes, I’m done for the

Crossing paths

Chapter 22 It’s been a week since I started working in the company. It hadn't been a perfect journey so far. I made some mistakes and learned new things. I had been going from one meeting to another. My father had introduced me to the staff, so I was officially known as the heiress of the Sinclair Corporation for those who were not yet aware. But my father thought it would be wise not to let the press know yet for my own sake. He knew the amount of attention I would be getting from the public and in situations like this, the negativity can affect my wellbeing.I was grateful that he wanted to remove me from the public eye first until I was ready. Though employees still went around talking, I tried my best not to let that bother me. I had a motive here, and being bothered about what people had to say wasn’t one. There was another thing on my mind the whole week I had been avoiding Jake. From the moment I stepped into the company until I left, I made sure not to run into him. I change

No Escape

Chapter 23I paced around my office, my mind racing. Seattle? I hadn’t agreed to any trip. I hadn’t even heard about it until Jake casually mentioned it as if I was just supposed to pack my bags and follow along.I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palm. I didn’t like how Jake always had the last word. Even when I asked him for an explanation, he just smiled and walked away, leaving me standing there, frustrated. It was just like the restaurant incident. He always seemed to enjoy catching me off guard. And why was he even there? I had been going to that restaurant all through the week, and I had never seen him. So why did he have to appear today of all days? Worse, I had embarrassed myself by choking on my drink in front of him.Ugh, Andrea! I groaned, running a hand down my face in frustration.The door burst open, and Lisa came running in.“Ma, are you okay? I heard you scream,” she asked, concern written all over her face.I blinked. Right. I had just screamed out loud. G

The Trip

Chapter 24I sat in the back of the car, watching as the driver maneuvered through the busy roads leading to the airport. The morning air was crisp, and the sky was a soft shade of blue, perfect weather for a flight.I couldn’t help but wonder why Jake had sent a driver. I would have made my way to the airport on my own, but my father had been there when the driver arrived, so I had no choice but to oblige.Beside me sat my neatly packed luggage. I mentally ran through my checklist. Passport? Check. Important documents? Check. Headphones? Definitely needed.As we neared the airport, I noticed something odd. The driver didn’t stop at the main terminal like usual. Instead, he took a different turn.I frowned. “Where is he going?” I said to myself Instead of heading toward the commercial entrance, we moved past it and drove onto a private access road. My eyes scanned my surroundings. There were no long security lines, no crowded departure gates, just a sleek, quiet area with a row of pr

Welcome to Seattle

Chapter 25 I was lost in the melody playing through my headphones, the soft hum of the jet blending with the music. I had no idea when sleep came in the exhaustion from the past few days must have finally caught up. A tap on my shoulder stirred me slightly, but I ignored it, shifting deeper into the seat. Then, another tap this time firmer. I groaned, still keeping my eyes closed. I wasn’t ready to wake up yet. “Andrea, wake up.” The voice was close to my ear—too close. And that cologne… it smelled familiar. My eyes flew open, and I found myself staring into a pair of sharp blue eyes. Jake. He leaned away casually and settled back into his seat. “What the hell, Jake?” I let out a frustrated breath. Jake smirked. “What did I do? I tapped you several times to let you know we’d be approaching Seattle in a few minutes, but you didn’t respond. So, I thought of a brilliant idea to whisper in your ear to bring you back from dreamland. And guess what? It worked.” He leaned back cr

Trapped Together

Chapter 26 “Jake, why on earth do you think this is interesting? This is a nightmare! And why do you look so unbothered by the situation we’re in?” I snapped, frustration boiling over. Jake leaned against the minibar, his expression annoyingly calm. “Firstly, Andrea, the deed is already done. Unless you’ve figured out a way to summon another suite out of thin air, I don’t see the point of panicking. Would you rather we drive around the city all night searching for a vacancy that may not exist?” His relaxed tone only fueled my irritation. “Secondly,” he continued, his gaze flicking toward the bed, “it’s just a bed. It’s big enough for both of us. So why are you still standing there like it’s about to swallow you whole?” I clenched my jaw, my arms folding tightly across my chest. He had a point, but that didn’t mean I had to like it. Jake turned away as if the conversation no longer interested him. “Now, if you don’t mind, I need a drink.” He reached for a bottle and poured himse

A step closer

Chapter 27Jake’s POVWhen I first heard about this trip, I saw it as an opportunity to get close to Andrea and make her trust me. She had been avoiding me for the past week. I didn’t know if she thought I hadn’t noticed, but I saw how she looked away the moment she caught sight of me and how she always hurried out of the room whenever I entered. She was trying to build a wall around herself, and I would try my best to break it. This trip would change that.I had woken up before her. I turned and saw that she was still sleeping; she had crossed the pillow boundary she placed between us on the bed. Her long hair spread out over the pillow. The tension from last night had melted away in sleep, leaving her looking peaceful—and vulnerable. My mind went back to yesterday, to how angry she was when she realized we were sharing a room.The moment I heard the receptionist say there was only one room available, I knew Andrea was going to lose it. I could see her face burning with anger. I wasn

A Night Of Surprises

Andrea’s POVChapter 28As I sat in the car, being driven back to the hotel with Jake, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. A slow smile crept onto my lips.The meeting had gone well—better than I had expected. I had been nervous at first since it was my first time meeting foreign investors, and I didn’t want to make any mistakes. But my father had trusted me to handle it, and I was glad I didn’t mess it up.Even Jake seemed pleased with my performance. Not that I cared what he thought, but his words—“You did well”—felt like a genuine compliment to my efforts.Jake had been quiet since we got in the car. I turned to glance at him and saw that he was focused on his phone. I guess even Jake has quiet moments.I shifted my eyes to the window and frowned. Something felt off. The route wasn’t familiar. The buildings outside were different, and the street signs were ones I didn’t recognize. A nagging uneasiness crawled up my spine. This wasn’t the way back.I had always been good

Unfinished Battles

Chapter 29Every step Jason took toward me felt like a stab in my heart. This had to be a dream. Of all the places in the world, why did he have to be here? I could barely breathe. It felt as if time had stopped, trapping me in a moment I desperately wanted to escape. The soft music playing in the background, the murmurs of people chatting beside me—all of it faded into nothing.I could see nobody but Jason right now.My head was spinning. I was not ready to face him. I wasn’t prepared for what was happening. What was I supposed to do? I had tried my best to bury every memory of him, but here he was, walking toward me, smirking like he still had control over my life.A suffocating pressure wrapped around my chest. My fingers curled against my dress, my entire body on the verge of shaking. I felt like I was about to pass out. My heart pounded so loudly that I was sure Jake could hear it.“Andrea.”Jake’s voice was calm and steady. He reached for my hand, gripping it firmly, trying to s

Rage in the Darkness

Chapter 30Jason’s POVI didn’t hear a single word the man beside me was saying—my whole focus was on Andrea. I sure wasn’t expecting what I got tonight. When I caught sight of her, at first, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had been turning the city down searching for her, but never in a million years did I think I would meet her at this event.I had just walked away from her, but my blood was still hot from our conversation. I could still see the fire in her eyes, hear the sharp edge in her voice, and the way she dared to speak to me like I was beneath her. She was nothing like the woman I had once crushed under my heel.That wasn’t the Andrea I had left behind.The Andrea I knew had been weak, desperate to please me, willing to crawl if it meant earning my approval. The Andrea I had discarded should have been nothing more than a broken shell, a shadow of the woman she once was.My body was still filled with so much rage. The anger in me was enough to burn this room down.Andrea betray
