  Freya's p.o.vDebby, my office assistant dropped some papers on my table at my cubicle. "This doesn't look good."I put on my reading glasses to see what it was as I scan through the newspaper. It's a popular business newspaper with updates on trending news in the market."What?!" My face pulled into a dissatisfactory grimace wishing I didn't get to read that. The Slades are now higher up in the market with more investors and partnerships still counting. I read through again and discovered they are selling at the same price as us."How the hell did this happen?""You think that's the worst part?" Debby said, flipping over to another page which made me go completely ballistic."What the hell, Debby? This is our design," I said, adjusting my glasses well enough to be sure I wasn't dreaming. "My design. What the hell is going on?""Exactly, what I thought as well," Debby said, folding her arms. "Something's definitely wrong somewhere. How could they have possibly done that? Could it be

  Ethan's p.o.v"Don't be surprised Ethan," Hailey said after sitting the boy down and walking back head high to me. "You were so on fire that night."My seethed mind caused me to grab her by the arm. "Stop this crap if it is a joke, Hailey. Now, isn't the time for one of your games."Like her usual self, Hailey stood her ground, scowling at me as she stood defiant. "What the fuck do you mean by if this is a joke, Ethan? Do you know how long I have tried to find you before finally meeting you at the wedding party the other time? It took me eight good years to do that and you think I would sit and watch why my son— our son suffer from dying to see his father when in fact he is still alive?"I jerked her arm forward seethedly, releasing my grip on Hailey. "And if you choose to be a doubting Thomas, I believe a paternity test should suffice," Hailey proposed.My gaze darted between her and the boy knowing there's no way Hailey could have suggested what she just did if she wasn't sure if i

  Ethan's p.o.v I took in the cool air suspended by the air conditioner as Nathan and I settled in one of the decorated chairs at a five star restaurant. It is weekend and since there's little to nothing to do at home, we decided to have a friendly hangout. Nathan has been my best-friend and the closest one to me in my friend group. The thought of seeing Freya's son that day with those captivating and alluring blue eyes only made my curiosity about him pique. "I saw what I saw , Nathan. I'm very sure of it. She was wearing a contract lens for that boy. His eyes were blue, like ice, like mine," I try not to lose my mind on the spot. "Why would she even do that?" "Perhaps, he needs them for his eyes. I mean, you never can tell. There may be something wrong with his vision." "No, Nathan," I snapped. "That boy was so much in pain like he would do anything to have those lenses removed." "So, what are you insinuating exactly, Ethan? That the boy is yours?" Nathan pushed. "No,

  Ethan's p.o.v"Will that be all, Natasha?" I asked handing the file to her after signing.Our empire is finally coming back alive after just two months of implementation. We are now having our investors back and even more. All thanks to our design department which is now headed by Natasha herself. I was stunned to see how gifted she was and how well she has been delivering her quota to the growth of the business as well.She handed me another file for signing. "Anything else?" I asked again, placing the pen cover back on the top to cover the nib."That will be all Sir."Natasha left my office cubicle and lean back in my chair, staring blankly at the wall as my mind wandered. I rose from my chair and head to the coffee maker, taking the exact quantity the cup can contain. I stir the coffee before going back to gulp it down on my seat.That boy—the face. I didn't mean to touch him intentionally but I swear I felt an energy. It was so strong and intense. It felt like I was drawn towards

  Jane's p.o.v"It feels so good to be back in Bali," Tanya screamed in excitement as she joined me outside our space at the resort. I sip on the cocktail beside me, seethed with anger as the thought of Ethan's lingering gaze at Freya flooded my mind.It has been on a week here since I got here for my business trip as a model and still, my mind wouldn't be at peace. I have decided to pursue and continue my true passion as a model after I stopped for sometime for Ethan's sake, thinking spending more time with him would make him any closer to me. I had seen him that day, when he and his father came to my father's mansion and I instantly fell head over heels with him. Considering my father's notable position in the business world, he decided to speak with Ethan for me through his father with a promise to help his father's dying jewelry company back then.Ethan wasn't my first love or second and neither was he my third nor fourth but I love him. And it hurt me that he wouldn't or never loo

  Freya's p.o.vJuliana has been mad at me since I decided to tell Junior who his father is and we just had to continue after Ethan tried to act stupid at the wedding ground. There's absolutely no way I'd let it all slide like that without getting my share of revenge on the Slades— to ruin them all but Ethan more."Are you alright, Freya?" Damian asked as we left the wedding venue and settled in the car, on our way back home."Yes," I answered with a blink, snapping out of it and pulling the seat belt across my body. "Shall we?"A look at my son who is now fast asleep at the passenger's seat made me heave a sigh of relief.I felt my mind go on an enraged spree at the sight of Ethan at Juliana's wedding. I got mad, really mad at him trying to touch my son insomuch that I literally exploded in front of Juliana later. The least I want to do is try to ruin Juliana's day because how dare Ethan try to pull a trick by trying to touch him despite making it crystal clear he doesn't want to have
