Joseph’s pov,

“Here you go, Aunt and Uncle”. I placed the cups of tea on the table, before I excused the elders and my mother to talk in the living room.

But, the catch was, I did not actually leave but hid in a corner because I wanted to listen in to what they were going to talk about.

My mother had been acting a bit strange these past few days, and she would not tell me what was going on.

But since I felt that she was going to tell Aunt Jane and Uncle Gael about what was going on, that wa

  • Don't break my Heart   Chapter 16) Her babysitter.

    “Are you alright, miss?”. The lady asked me and tried to help me up, but I slapped her hands away. My heart was heavy, and I felt betrayed in the worst way ever. “Tsk. So rude”. She scoffed at me and took her leave, while she turned and glanced at me coldly twice in a row. As for me, I quickly turned away after Micheal halted and turned in my direction. I felt my heart skip a beat as I gritted my teeth. Then a realization came to me. “Since he is the owner of Ma-Kings jewelry company, did he know that I had applied to work in his company beforehand? Was he the one who ordered that I get accepted?”. “Did he do that so he could humiliate me and shame me? Did he hire me so that he could rub it in my face?”. I muttered, and forced myself to get up from the floor, as I didn't want to steal the attention of people. I didn't want them to stare at me and make him see me. How pathetic he must think I am. I remained standing still, but with my back facing his direction. Only when I di

  • Don't break my Heart   Chapter 15) Never loved her.

    Joanne's pov, I finished dressing and went and sat down on the chair facing the wall mirror. I heard my bone crack after I took my seat and stared at my reflection. That was because, yesterday, I did not rest and had to clean every nook and cranny of the house, before I took my bath, ate, and began to think to myself, as the scene I saw while on my way to the house had not escaped my mind. In the end, I slept off around 2am in the morning, and had to wake up at 6am in the same morning, as it was going to be my first day of work. I sighed heavily and placed my hand on my chest. “I want them to break up with each other. What must I do to make that happen?”. I wondered, because Micheal disliked me now, and hated me being anywhere around him. So if I want to gain his approval to let me be around him, I must think hard. I must show him that I have gotten over him, before I slowly make my way back into his heart which had always belonged to me. After letting out another sigh, I rub

  • Don't break my Heart   Chapter 14) A new undercover job.

    We arrived in the garden and took a seat on the long wooden bench. I didn't say anything but maintained quietness, as I waited for Aunt Becky to tell me everything at her own pace. A few seconds passed, before she began with an apology. “I am sorry if I was rude to you, Adira. Yesterday, I thought I was going to lose my son. I wasn't even able to sleep a wink last night”. Her words made me more curious, but luckily, I wasn't that impatient, as I knew that, sooner than later, I was going to know everything. “You don't have to apologize to me, Aunt Becky. You did nothing wrong”. I placed a hand on her shoulder as I said to her, causing her to look me in the eyes as tears escaped from hers. “It's him, Adira. It's that bastard, Austin. Some months ago, Joseph told me that he felt someone was watching and following him”. “I- I did not take his words seriously at first, but later on, I did and paid more attention to him. Until a month ago, when I caught that bastard watching

  • Don't break my Heart   Chapter 13) Isn't feeling well.

    Adira's pov, I woke up from sleep smiling like a love-sick bird. The first thing I did after waking up from sleep was to place a kiss on Vincent's forehead. He was still asleep, and his crib was next to my bed. The second thing I went to do was to stand in front of the large wall mirror as I thought about what happened yesterday. So far, everything felt like a dream to me. I mean, everything was going perfectly, like nothing could ever go wrong. I really could not wait for people to address me as his wife. “Be patient, Adira. Don't make it so obvious”. I slapped my cheeks gently using my palms, before I made my way into the bathroom. Like a minute later, I was in the middle of brushing my teeth, with foam in both corners of my mouth, when I heard my cell phone ringing. “Oh gosh. Why now?”. I mumbled, with my voice barely clear. As it continued to ring, I tried to hurry to answer the call, as I feared my ringing tone was going to help me wake Vincent, when clearly, I didn't w

  • Don't break my Heart   Chapter 12) A prison visit.

    The next day, Nathan's pov, I was in the prison cafeteria. Some low level food was in front of me on the table, but despite how hungry I was, I could not bear to take a single bite out of the food because I was filled with regret. I never knew that the person I had gotten married to was a harlot. And it was currently that it pained me dearly that I rejected Adira for her. It pained me dearly that I divorced and discarded a gem like Adira because of someone as shameless as her. But that was not the part that made me frustrated and broke me. How could she bear to commit suicide while she was pregnant with my unborn child? He or she did nothing to deserve that from her. That showed me just how wicked she was.I remember when I learned of everything, I could not believe it, and it took me a month of doubt and shock, before I grew to hate her, and even wished that I was there to strangle her to death myself. Everything in my life began to fall apart after Adira left me. Making me

  • Don't break my Heart   Chapter 11) Will you marry me?

    Adira's pov,The lights in front of me suddenly lightened up and made me cover my mouth with my palms in disbelief. For a second, I almost ran away upon spotting a dark shadow. I thought it was someone dangerous. But now, seeing Micheal standing tall and staring straight at me, gave me a whole new feeling. I walked towards him until I arrived at the place he was standing. And looking around, I asked him while surprised, “What are all these? I didn't know there was something like this in the lovers’ garden”. I had enough of looking because something important lingered inside my mind, making me add immediately, “There's something strange, Micheal. I think you should check it out. I didn't see any single person when I was on my way. Only the security guy that I saw”. After saying that to him, I grabbed his hand. “Come on, we should find out what is going on. And, Kai told me that he was here. You also told me that he and Vincent were here with you”.“So, why have I not seen them? I
