Amelia POV I stood at the balcony, crossing my arms against my chest as I enjoyed the cold breeze that brushed against my skin.I loved admiring nature. Everywhere was so peaceful and calm, even though my life wasn't and I have been trying to run away from that fact.I heard the door of the balcony opening, then Jayden's voice filled my ears.“You disappeared to spend time alone over here and you didn't feel the need to inform me.”“I knew you would find your way to me. Just as you have done right now.” I replied, not turning to face him and a few seconds later. I felt him beside me.“After eating, you just suddenly became quiet.” “I think my brain finally got tired. You know I have been yapping all day.” I joked.“Does that really happen? I thought you don't get tired of talking.” he teased and I pouted my lips at him. “You are so annoying.”“But you love me too much, even with my annoyance.”“That is still under investigation, Mr Jayden. So there is no need to get your hopes all

Jayden's POV.We got back into the car, and when I looked up. I noticed the sky had already begun to change its colour into dark.“Oh my heavens. Please save me from this beautiful woman who is my girlfriend, she is seated beside me.” I expressed sarcastically.“I know right. I'm so beautiful and distracting.” she replied, biting on her lower lip gently as she pulled it inside her mouth.“You are really a character, Amelia. But do you care to know something?”“What is that?”“I haven’t felt like this in a long time.” I said as she glanced at me briefly.“I guess we are on the same boat. Be rest assured, you are safe with me my love.” I said, slipping my fingers into hers.~ ~ ~ ~We got home not too long after. The moment Amelia stepped into the house, she just removed her shoes and threw them aside carelessly, just like a child would do.“Oh thank the heavens we finally reached home. I was already tired of having to wait for the traffic.” She expressed,“You are acting like someone r

Jayden's POV.“Stop staring at me like that,” Amelia muttered without looking at me. I wondered how she could even catch me staring at her.“I literally cannot help it, my love. At least you can make it easier by making your face visible enough to me so I can stare harder and get lost in you.” I teased.“When did you become this poetic?”“I had to learn how to be poetic, just for your sake. So I can always sing your praises, my only beloved.”“Jayden, do you know that there has been something I have been willing to say to you since we got here.”“And what is it? You can speak, baby. I'm all ears.” I said as she urged me to come closer to her, which I did. Then she leaned forward to me, with the intention of whispering the words in my ears.“I just want to tell you that you aren't anywhere close to being serious.” she screamed out loudly, pulling back immediately before I could grab her and she began to laugh out with so much excitement displayed on her face.“Oops. I guess someone jus

Jayden's POV.“This is officially the weirdest date anyone has ever taken me on,” Amelia said as she stared around the graveyard again.“You are being dramatic right now.”“I am being realistic. People usually go to restaurants, parks, cinemas, not where dead people are peacefully minding their business.” she added. I found myself laughing.“There’s literally a beautiful field behind this place.”“And there are literally dead people in front of it,” she argued.“You complain too much, Amelia.”“You kidnapped me to a graveyard. Do you realize that?”“You still followed me willingly.”“That’s because I trusted you.” she said and I just stared at her.“Well,” I cleared my throat quickly. “You should be thanking me because I just introduced you to the best place in the city.” I said as Amelia crossed her arms dramatically.“I’ll decide after proper inspection.”“Yes ma'am. Then inspect away, princess.” I said, bowing my head slightly. As she burst into laughter immediately.Oh my gosh. I

Jayden's POVI sighed, finally giving up the pretense that I had been working. I have been hunched over my desk and staring at my computer screen for hours now but in all honesty, my thoughts have been everywhere but at the stupid financial mistake the marketing team was planning to make.There were more pressing things, matters that actually touched my heart. I made my way out of the study and headed straight for Amelia's room. I didn't know what to do about the awful mood she's been in.She has refused to come out since we returned from the orphanage, It was already a solid day ago, how then did I imagine she was going to deal with the newest information I found out?I had come in earlier with breakfast in tow but she had been asleep and without anything more to do, I had left. What was the worse thing that would happen if I walked into the room and forced her out to talk to me? To see her flash that shy smile at me or to beg her to go back to annoying the living hell out of me? W

Jayden’s POVI did not sleep properly after what happened with Lawson. Even after I threw him out of my penthouse, I still kept hearing Amelia’s voice in my head.Her words deliberately stayed with me the entire night. The next morning, I found her standing near the balcony with a cup of coffee in her hand. She looked lost in her thoughts again.“Did you even sleep?” I asked as I walked toward her.“A little.”“You are lying. You didn't sleep at all.” I said, as she smiled at me, then I moved closer to her.“You know me too well already.”“What’s going on inside your head?”“I want to go somewhere.”“Where?”“The orphanage.”“Are you talking about the orphanage you grew up in?”“Yes. That one, I keep thinking about that photograph,” she whispered. “Jayden. I need answers.”I looked at her carefully. She looked nervous and restless, all at the same time. Like somebody standing at the edge of a cliff without knowing if the next step would kill her or save her.“You really want to do thi

Elena’s POV“What the hell is wrong with you?” I demanded the moment we were outside, the cool night air hitting my flushed face.Jonathan didn’t answer. He just strode toward the car, his jaw was set, and his entire body was rigid with tension.“Jonathan! I’m talking to you!”“Get in the car, Elena.”“No! Not until you tell me what the hell that was about!”He stopped, turning to face me, and the look in his eyes made my breath catch. I’d never seen him like this…wild, barely controlled, like he was holding himself back from doing something reckless.“Get in the car,” he repeated, his voice dangerously low.“Why did you drag me out of there?”“Because I couldn’t watch it anymore.”“Couldn’t watch what?”“You!” He shouted, running a hand through his hair. “I couldn’t watch him touching you, looking at you like that, like he had no right…”He stopped himself, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.“Get in the car,” he said again, quieter this time. “Please.”I don’t know why him sa

Jonathan’s POVI sat in the back of the car, checking my watch for the third time in as many minutes.Seven-fifteen. We were supposed to leave at seven.My driver, Michael, glanced at me in the rearview mirror. “Should I call up to Miss Rivers’ suite, sir?”“Give her another minute,” I said, though my patience was wearing thin.I drummed my fingers against my knee, trying to ignore the nervousness coiling in my stomach. It was ridiculous. I have attended hundreds of these events over the years. This was just another gala, like every other night.Except it wasn’t. Because Elena would be there. And I had no idea what to expect. The hotel doors opened, and my breath caught in my throat.Elena stepped out, and every single thought I had vanished.The emerald green silk draped over her body like it had been designed specifically for her, which in a way, it had. The fitted bodice hugged her curves, accentuating every line, every dip in her perfect body, while the skirt flowed elegantly wit

Elena’s POVThe project was wrapping up faster than expected, and I couldn’t decide if that was a relief or a tragedy.In another week, maybe two, we’d be done. The construction was ahead of schedule, the investors were happy, and everything was falling into place exactly as it should.I should have been relieved. Excited, even. This meant we could finally leave and go to Singapore, get back to DC, and I could put some real distance between myself and whatever this complicated mess with Jonathan had become.But instead, I just felt tired. Tired of the drama. Tired of Lisa’s barely concealed hostility and the way she looked at me like I was an inconvenient obstacle, fuck hwr by the way. And I was even more tired of pretending I didn’t care that Jonathan had gone from hovering over me constantly to treating me like just another employee whose name he barely remembered.I told myself it was fine. That this was what I wanted, what I’d demanded.But it didn’t feel fine. It felt like I wa

Elena’s POVI told myself I’d done the right thing. Setting boundaries with him was the best thing to do. The only thing to do, really. Jonathan and I had gotten too close, and much too tangled up in each other’s lives, and it was clouding everything… including my judgment, and purpose, the reason I’d come to Hart Global in the first place.This was much, much better.I repeated this to myself as I got ready for work the next morning, staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. My eyes looked tired, I had large eye bags that even makeup couldn’t quite hide. I’d barely slept, my mind replaying that conversation outside my suite door over and over again.I splashed cold water on my face, trying to wash away the guilt that had been heavy in my chest since that night.Eventually, I almost believed I’d done the right thing.“These calculations are off by at least three percent,” I said, pointing to the spreadsheet on Jonathan’s laptop.My hand was steady, I tried my hardest to keep m

Jonathan’s POVThe conference room felt smaller than usual.I sat at the head of the table, I couldn’t help but feel bored while the three lead investors sat across from me with matching looks of disapproval. Lisa stood near the window, her arms crossed, her face was blank.On the screen mounted to the wall, the video played on loop. Me, dragging a man from a car. Me, hitting him over and over while he lay defenseless on the ground.It looked bad. But did I give a shit? Nope.“Mr. Hart,” Mr. Chen said, his tone cold and formal. “Can you explain this?”“I was protecting my employee,” I said calmly. “That man kidnapped her. He locked her in his car and assaulted her when she tried to leave. What you’re seeing is me ensuring her safety.”“By beating him nearly unconscious?” another investor, Mrs. Tan, asked sharply. “This is not how professionals handle conflicts, Mr. Hart. This is vigilante justice.”“Would you have preferred I called the police and waited while he drove off with her?”

Jonathan’s POVMy eyes swept across the dark street, searching desperately for any sign of her, when I noticed a car. Pulling away from the club about fifty meters down the road, moving faster than it should have been in a residential area.And through the back window, for just a split second, I saw Elena. Her head was lolling against the seat, and she looked unconscious.My blood turned to ice.The driver looked back, and our eyes locked. His expression shifted immediately…from cocky confidence to something like panic…and he slammed on the accelerator.I was already running back to my car.I threw myself into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and tore out after him, my tires screeching against the pavement.The car ahead weaved through the traffic, running a red light, cutting off other vehicles. Horns blared and people shouted but I didn't care.All I could see was Elena’s unconscious in that backseat.I grabbed my phone with one hand, keeping the other on the wheel, and scrol
