Jessica’s POV
I could feel his gaze on me while we shared the spaghetti in silence—soft, burning, searching. Why must he be so sweet, so achingly kind? Every word, every gesture, every glance, only deepens the ache inside me. It’s cruel, really. The way he makes it so easy to love him, and so impossibly hard to stop.


I won’t lie. I’m mad. Mad in a way that’s messy and irrational. I know it isn’t his fault—I do. But it still stings. Why can’t he see me?


I know it sounds selfish. Maybe it is.

    Jessica’s Pov



As soon as I got to the hotel, my phone rang. It was from Molly.

“Hey , I am already at the hotel” I said

“Jess you have to come fast, Christian and Evelyn are in a heated argument. It doesn’t look good” she replied and I began to panic. He has seen the video.

Hmm I better set my mind and face this.

I took the elevator to the penthouse and I stopped and stared at the door.

Now that Mirabelle has deleted the video, I will somehow convince Christian that the video is fake and they won’t have to break up. I will never come between them again no matter what . This is the best I can do after everything I have caused them.



I breathed in first before opening the door to the penthouse. On getting to the lounge, I was greeted with the sight of Evelyn crying while Sharpay was patting her. Christian was sitting opposite them with a cold look and his phone in his hand while Jake , Luke and Molly kept staring with horror written on there faces. I have to end this.

Christian’s eyes fluttered open but he immediately shut it back due of the bright light.

“I will turn off the light” he heard a voice

“Babe you can open your eyes now” Evelyn said as she stroked his hair.

He opened his eyes and was greeted with the sight of his friends. They were looking at him with concern. He tried to sit up but the sharp pain he felt in his head pushed him back to the bed.

“Don’t try to stand up” both Jessica and Evelyn said out of concern. Jessica tried to hold him but she stepped back when Evelyn held him instead.

Evelyn took the pill and water from the side table. “Here you go babe, this will reduce the headache” He swallowed the pill and rested back on the bed.

“What happened?” he croaked

“You do not remember?” Jake asked. Jessica was beginning to panic. What if he remembers? Will he hate me? I could not leave him in that condition, no I could not.

“I don’t know, the last I remember was when I and Jess were on the beach. I started feel

After Christian and Evelyn got back to the penthouse, Christian carried Evelyn to their room and laid her on the bed.

“ Babe are you okay? Tell me , where does it hurt. Are you hungry? How about I go make you something?” Christian bombarded her with questions and was about to stand up but Evelyn stopped him.

“No no no babe” she chuckled “ I just want you here with me” She said and pulled him closer to herself. Christian snuggled in and wrapped his arms around her.

“Are you sure that you are fine?” He asked again and Evelyn nodded her head.

“Can I ask you a question?” Evelyn asked

“Sure”

“Ok Uhm… you and Jessica Uhm, you only see her as a friend right?” Evelyn asked and her heart raced.

Christian stared at her before bursting out in laughter.

“Wait hold up . So you were not sick , you were just jealous” he said and continued laughing.

“It’s not funny“ she frowned her face and hit him on the arm. “What if I’m jealous, don’t I have the right to be?”

“Okay Evelyn

“You were smiling when he was here and the second he left , you became sad” he said

“I am not sad” I replied

“Well from what I am seeing, you are. If I can explain the scenario, then I would call it a case of one sided love” he explained with a smirk.

“Shouldn’t you be working or doing whatever you do?” I asked

“I am not busy right now and I am also the boss around here. I own this ship and call the shots here” he replied arrogantly with the stupid smirk still on his face.

“Alright Mr arrogant, should you be poking your nose into the businesses of your guests? I mean you are the boss around here, you should know that “ I said and he started laughing.

“Okay, maybe I should not be poking my nose in my guest’s businesses but I could not help but want to comfort a beautiful lady especially when she looked sad and all by herself “ he replied and I stared at him.

“I am not sad and I don’t need comforting, thank you “ i was already feeling uncomfortable with his words

The sounds of birds chirping woke me up from my sleep. I looked around me and I noticed that I was in my room? But I remember sleeping at the balcony, how did I get here? I checked the time and it was almost twelve noon.

Oh no, did I sleep that long? I tried to get off my bed but the sharp pain I felt in my head stopped me.

“Arrghh” I groaned and held my head. I am lightweight. I only drank one glass of champagne. I heard the sound of the door opening and I looked towards it. It was Christian carrying a tray of sandwich and a mug of probably coffee.

“You up already?” He said as he walked towards me , placed the tray beside me and sat down on my bed.

If Christian did this about three months ago, I won’t be shocked because I am used to him being like this to me but the situation is different now. He is engaged. I am not complaining but the guilt I feel won’t let me. He cares for me so much but I am about to break his heart again because of my selfishness . I will t

As Jessica came out of the bathroom, she was shocked to see Luke at the entrance.

“Luke?” She stared at him confused. “Uh…this is the girl’s bathroom “

“I know. I was awaiting for you” he said.

“At the girl’s bathroom?” She asked

“Yes Jess. I really need your help at the penthouse “ he said a little anxious.

“Ok let’s go” she said and he nodded.

“Oh and are you okay? I saw Mirabelle enter the bathroom too” he said concerned.

“Yeah I am fine. Don’t worry, I can handle her” Jess said and he nodded as the both left for the penthouse. 

Immediately they entered the penthouse, Jessica was stunned. There were red roses on the floor that spelt out “I LOVE YOU, BE MY GIRLFRIEND?” and there was a big bouquet of flower on the table. 

“So what do you think, will she like it?” Luke asked her expectantly but Jess was too stunned to reply.

“It’s bad right? I knew it, the I LOVE YOU is too much.” Luke stated very disappointed.

“No Luke, it’s beautiful “ Jessica said s
