Jacob's POV:

I couldn't relax knowing that my fiancée worked with Ethan Owen. As much as I tried to ignore it, I knew that Eva was very beautiful and there were only rumors about Ethan being gay.

What if Ethan wasn't gay? What if he was the man who had taken advantage of my fiancée and taken what rightfully belonged to me?

I felt like strangling Layla at that moment. How dare she drug Eva and make me believe that Eva had cheated on me willingly?

Eva lowered her head as she avoided meeting my eyes and apologized. "I am sorry, Jacob. I cannot quit my job at Owen Group."

"Why?" I asked her calmly, trying not to get annoyed.

"It's just one day that you've worked for Ethan. Why can't you quit the job?" I asked her, anger boiling in my veins.

Eva shook her head and said, "I cannot quit. It's complicated because I already signed the contract. If I breach it, then I will have to pay Owen Group, and I don't have the money to pay."

"I will pay it for you. Just quit and come work for me," I begg

    {Eva's POV}The next morning, I woke up in my room, slid out of bed, and hurriedly went into the bathroom to shower. The time was past 7 a.m., and I needed to get to Owen's Group before 8 a.m., when Ethan arrived.The previous day at work had been stressful, and I wondered where Ethan was going to take me today. Would he take me to another of his subsidiary companies? My mind wandered through these thoughts as I got into the shower.My hand reached for my sponge and soap, and I bathed swiftly.A few minutes later, I turned on the shower faucet and grabbed my white towel, rushing out of the bathroom.When I stepped out of the bathroom, I was taken aback to see my older sister in my room. She wore a red top and black leggings, standing there with a strict look on her face."Good morning, sis. What do you want?" I asked her, moving as swiftly as possible to the wardrobe to grab my clothes for work."Eva, I researched Jasper Tech last night, and I found out that it's owned by the billiona

    {Ethan's POV}As I drove my black Rolls-Royce Phantom into my residence and parked it, my phone rang loudly.I lived in this white duplex alone. It had six bedrooms, yet I occupied only the master bedroom on the top floor.The house gave me a sense of peace as I turned off the car and reached for my phone to see who was calling.It was a call from Freya again. It was just 6 p.m., and she was already calling to know if we were going on a dinner date.I declined her call on the first ring, knowing she would feel bad. So I called her to inform her that I had just gotten home."Hello, Freya," I said softly as soon as she answered."Hello, babe. Have you gotten home? I wanted to ask what time we should get prepared?" she asked, her voice bubbling with excitement."Freya," I said softly as I apologized to her."I'm sorry, but I cannot go on a dinner date with you today," I informed her, and she sounded disappointed."Why, Ethan? But you already promised to take me out on a dinner date toget

    {Eva's POV}Getting out of Jacob's car, I spotted my older sister arriving in her car. She owned a black Toyota Camry like Mom's.I waited for my sister to drive into the yard first. Then she got out of the car and darted to meet me."Eva, didn't I warn you to stay away from Jacob? What are you still doing with him? Even Mom and Dad warned you to stay away from Jacob too!" Elora yelled at me. She wore a blue dress that barely covered her thighs, together with a pair of black shoes."What do you want me to do?" I asked, looking at my sister's face. "I didn't chase after Jacob. He came to meet me.""And you cannot tell him off? Tell him that you're no longer interested," she snapped, glaring at me.I felt a pounding headache because I had been working since morning, from Jasper Tech to Owen's Group. I didn't feel a need to argue with my sister.Before I could respond to Elora as the night fell, Mom stepped out of the house. She wore a black dress and seemed like she had just arrived fro

    Eva's POV:I wanted to walk away, but Jacob held me firmly against himself, holding my left hand."This isn't about the Parkers' Group alone," Mr. Harry said coldly. "The Parkers' Group doesn't have any tech company. And I was hoping that Layla would learn a lot from Owen Tech. Now Eva has ruined everything for my daughter. Even if Layla set you up, couldn't you forgive her?"Mr. Harry snarled at me, but I yanked my hand away from Jacob's hold and retorted, "I won't forgive Layla. She went too far to have me recorded, and she doesn't deserve my forgiveness!""You ungrateful brat. If not for Jacob's help, you wouldn't be my daughter's friend or stand next to her. You slut!" Mr. Harry yelled at me, and Jacob held me back, his expression firm."It's okay, Eva. Don't talk back to Mr. Parker like that. It's okay. Calm down," Jacob said, holding me back. But I pushed his hand off my shoulder."Stay away from me, Jacob!" I warned him as well, wanting to walk away, but he held my hand firmly.

    Eva's POV:I hadn't expected to see Jacob come to the Owens Group head office to see me.What was he doing here? I pondered, when I saw the elevator door swing open on the sixth floor and Jacob walk out, dressed in a yellow shirt and black trousers with polished black shoes.He appeared breathtakingly handsome, but I wasn't happy to see him. I had already made it clear to him not to come pick me up from work. But he was stubborn.I knew that I should be mad at Jacob, but I was the one who had cheated on him and wronged him. So I didn't have the right to be angry at him.But then, I thought about my boss, Ethan Owen. I had had an affair with him. I couldn't vividly recall everything. But now, I was starting to remember some of the silly things I had done, especially after I had seen the video evidence on the phone that Ethan showed me."Try not to think about Ethan Owen. He is my boss and a billionaire. Also, he's engaged." My older sister's warning rang in my ear. Elora had warned me
