"It's you again? When did I become so unlucky?!" He complained. He wasn't the only unlucky one, I was also unlucky by meeting him for the second time in one day.
"Get away from me," I struggled but he didn't let me go.
"Where do you think you're going? Want to run away? Not without settlement. You broke my car!"

She retaliate by breaking his car which lands her in huge trouble as he constantly threatened to sue her if she fails to pay for the damage. He offers her a job as his assistant with plans to torture her but had no idea how he started to get used to her presence.
A spark of connection, a flicker of something more. As they continued to interact, that spark grew into a flame. But with so much standing in their way, could their love survive?

Chapter: *Love Theatre*Chapter 80Vanessa's POV:After spending the night creating different scenarios of how the theatre night might play out—from disastrous to dreamy—I woke up feeling like I had swallowed a hive of bees.Not butterflies—bees. Angry bees buzzing my chest and stomach.I paced my room in a complete daze, muttering to myself while digging my fingers into my skin. My eyes darted to the clock every few seconds like it would somehow calm me down, but it didn't. It was ridiculous. Absurd.I had survived months under Mr. Garcia, endured his cold, emotionless stares, rude remarks, and the relentless pressure of trying to prove my worth in that chaotic office where I could find my place. I had cried my eyes out in storage closets, screamed silently in the washroom, had days where I felt worthless, and almost quit more times than I could count.But now?Now that he was smiling at me instead of scowling, holding my hand instead of handing me loads of paperwork, kissing my forehead instead of trying t

Chapter: *Bitten by an Insect.*Chapter 79Vanessa's POV:It had been a week since everything happened—the chaos, the news, the press, the shame. All of it had slowly begun to melt into silence. The world had moved on, or maybe it just stopped watching me so closely. For once, my phone wasn’t buzzing with blog posts I didn’t want to see, or videos of people tearing me apart. And I could breathe.Claire and I were in my room, curled up on my bed, our legs tangled like we used to as kids, eating ice cream. We were working on her online store, compiling a long list of products and ideas, when my phone buzzed.Mr. Garcia.I ignored it. Flipped the phone over so I wouldn’t see the messages.“Do you think I should use this?” Claire asked, passing me a paper.“Yeah, pink is best. The ladies would love it,” I agreed.“Okay.”Another buzz from my phone. Then a third one. I glanced at it quickly.“Come outside,” the message read.So rude, I thought.I stared at the screen for a long moment, unsure if I should even respond. Wh

Chapter: *Love Fever*Chapter 78Vanessa’s POV:I didn’t see her at first.Mr. Garcia’s arms were around me, his cologne still lingering on my shirt. His warmth felt like being covered in a blanket.And for a second—just one stolen second—it felt like everything was okay.Then I saw her.Claire.Across the street, standing like a pillar of fire in her bright yellow hoodie, her eyes locked on us like twin daggers. My heart jolted—thump!—like it skipped several beats. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. All the breath in my lungs vanished.“Oh God,” I whispered.“What is it?” Mr. Garcia asked, pulling back slightly, concern etched into every inch of his face.I panicked.I pushed him—gently but quickly—out of the hug. My palms pressed against his chest as I tried to shield him from her line of vision, but it was too late. Her eyes were on us. I could feel the heat of her glare from across the road.“I—uh—I think you should go,” I muttered. My voice shook, betraying the storm inside me.His brows drew toget

Chapter: *You Stole My Man*Chapter 77Vanessa’s POV:I was still trying to calm the thunderous pounding in my chest when Mr. Garcia walked out of the room. He didn’t say much—just that same unreadable look he always wore, followed by a soft kiss on the cheek. Unavoidable.“I’ll take you home later, just wait for me,” he said, his voice low and final.And just like that, he was gone.I stood there in the middle of the office, fingers brushing over my arms as if trying to erase the lingering feel of his touch. The air felt thick, heavy with a tension that didn’t scare me but twisted something deep inside. I shifted awkwardly, grabbed my bag, and made for the door.He wasn’t afraid to be seen with me.But I was. I should leave before he returns.Just as I reached for the handle, the door slammed open, hitting the wall with such force that it rattled the windows.She stormed in, a fiery hurricane.A woman about my age, dressed head-to-toe in red—rage personified. Her heels echoed off the floor with each step, as if

Chapter: *The Real Culprit*Chapter 76Andre's POVI leaned back in the cold leather chair, fingers steepled beneath my chin as voices clashed across the polished mahogany table. Every member had a complaint-each louder and more insistent than the last."Andre, this is a disaster.""It's only a matter of time before the media eats into company affairs.""The shareholders are restless.""You need to distance yourself from the girl."The girl.The way they said it made my blood boil. Like she meant nothing, but she means alot to me."Her name is Vanessa," I said at last, my voice low and sharp enough to slice through the noise. The room fell silent. The air grew heavy. "And she is my assistant.""Exactly," one of the older members snapped, tossing a printed blog article across the table. The headline was bold and damning:CEO Gives Former Waitress 'Special Favors'?"That's the problem. Your assistant, an undergraduate-"I didn't flinch. I stared at the headline a second, then slid it back toward him. "This company

Chapter: *The Media Storm*Chapter 75Vanessa’s POV:I barely slept a wink throughout the night, just hugged the doll silently and remained lost in my thoughts.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw flashes—tormenting flashes of the blog post, the comments, Angela’s cruel smile, and then Mr. Garcia's arms wrapped around me like a shield I didn’t ask for, telling me he's got this all sorted out. My body was on the bed, beside Claire, but my heart was somewhere else. Stuck. Suspended in this messy limbo of shame and confusion and something dangerously close to love.I was still curled up on the bed when I heard Claire's voice; she was up."Have some more rest, V. I'll make breakfast for you and your mom before leaving. Just make sure you eat it while it's hot." I heard her but remained quiet. She sighed and then left.By 7:30, the soft buzz of my phone. I reached over with a hand that felt ten pounds heavier than usual.Mr. Garcia: “I’m waiting outside. Come out when you’re ready.”I blinked at the screen for a mome

Chapter: Chapter 65★★JAYDEN★★I Stood beside my father's bed as the doctor, who was called over spoke. "Madam," he started, looking directly at my mother who's eyes were teary. "He is paralyzed I'm afraid to say. I think he was poisoned, not in the last two days though, like a slow poison. Although i tried to detect the actual poison used, but it's a smart case, the person was so wise not to let him get to this state in a week or two." He sighed, wiped his face with his hand out of frustration as he was also confused. "I think it's the work of some sort of poison, since he never reacted earlier to this poison, it was impossible detecting it I'm sorry. You'll have to take him to Japan for treatment, some local temple i will direct, this poison is spreading slowly, but destroying more" he continued.I looked at my helpless father on the bed, his mouth is twisted, like one part is toothless, his neck bent to the side, he can only rotate his eyeballs in fear.

I put one hand on his shoulder and held his with the other, climbing on his feet, he gasp a bit with a smile, showing me ‘I'm ok’.The song went louder, He was looking into my eyes, making me feel guilty for some reasons.

No. No don't do it," i looked at the crowd around, turns out a lot of people stopped dancing... Just staring at us, his parents and two more couples."let go." I told him, but he didn't. "Bella, we're not done dancing, are you looking are these people?, well don't. They are badlucks. Just don't want us to be happy.

Chapter: Chapter 63★★JAYDEN★★While my mother and cousins picked dresses for themselves, i admire the white dress on the couch. Thinking of how good it will be on Bella. My cousin was about to pick it and i winked at the designer with a smile. She started blushing... Still not understanding what i meant. I gave a look at the dress and raised my eye lid and brows, she picked the dress up and asked my cousin to go for another.Still smiling at myself, my mother spoke, "why are you smiling?

Chapter: Chapter 62(From now hence on, I will be adding some POV from Braden's side, hope you all won't have a problem with it...❤)★★BRADEN POV:★★ I took another sip of my drink while watching her back view as she walked out of the restaurant just the way I like it, just the way I like her, in her innocence and the most naive way. My only prayers is for her to be mine, our friendship may have not lasted, but I'm so sure will last. This is the first true love I feel i ever have, Jayden just have to surrender for my sake, we're brothers. I sigh in frustration still looking at the door she went through when someone stood in front of me, blocking my views. "I never knew you will be so disgusting someday." Iris said, she was wearing a seductive kind of outfit, tightly around her body. I was about to talk another sip ignoring her, she time a hold on the glass. "Such a man," she uttered with a smile."Braden, let's help each other. You know everything is

Chapter: Chapter 61★★BELLA★★ I Laid so frustrated on the bed, since the past two days Jayden left, no calls, neither have I heard from him. "Aish...!!!" I used my feet to jam the bed for the 6th time this evening. I think this to the only thing that can keep me sane, with the fact of me been damn frustrated.The door opened with him standing exhausted and leaned his hand on the door knob."I'm back." He smiled. Now's not a good time to vent my anger on him even though I really want to. I turned my face to the other side of the bed to hide my angry face. I could here his footstep as he approach me, I feel the heat from him as he leaned closer and whispered, "why are you not responding?""I'm sleeping Mr, have some respect." I replied then he burst out in laughter, "hahaha, you're asleep and dare to reply? You crazy spot." He tried to rub his palm on my hair but I hold him in mid air. "I told you I'm sleeping, don't you get it?!"

Chapter: Chapter 60★★BELLA★★ I woke up with my head spinning like a wheel. Jayden is not in the room, I walked out of the room, holding my half buttoned shirt. "Jay? Where at you? Jayden?" I called his name more than once, he did not reply. "Jayden?!" I called again, and still no reply from him, i decided to check the other rooms. Another room was opened half way through, I peeped through the open space, he was arranging his clothes in a bag"Where are you going?" I asked him with the most disappointing voice."Bella, you're awake?" He brought his lips closer to kiss my cheek, I shifted my face away from his reach. "Where at you off to? You haven't answered this question.""I need to go back Bella. I have businesses to take Care of, my company is also there. It can't be without it's CEO for so long!""And me? You're leaving me?
