Freya's p.o.v

"No way," my mouth opened as my eyes widened in sheer astonishment as Juliana paraded the dressing room in her white off-shoulder flowing wedding gown. "I bet Mark would do a double take when he sees you in this beauty on that day."

Juliana chuckled pleasingly, turning around as she checked herself out in the mirror.

I grinned as I admire not only the dress on Juliana but also her state of mind at the moment.

She really deserved it— a new life, love life and everything in-between.

We lost contact after the unfortunate event at the Slade's mansion, but destiny brought us back together after I had visited Mark at his office one time only to discover that she works there as his secretary.

Despite being a mother of two, Mark has proved his love to Juliana in so many ways and I'm glad she found her one and true love in him.

Their wedding is in four days time and as the bridesmaid, I need to shove aside my work a bit and focus in making that day a huge success.

    Jane's p.o.vHis eyes scanned me then the room as I faced him, taken aback by my presence and me, shocked at the implications of what I had done."What is going on here?" he asked, his voice calm yet his facial expression a tone of surprise. "What are you doing here, Jane? And where is Hailey?"Scared and unsure of how to start, I began to stammer. "I— I—,""You what, Jane?""I had found a thong" I finally spoke, my voice shaking. "In your pocket. I knew she was behind it."Ethan looked at me with a curious intensity. "You what?"I ran back to the room of the scene where Hailey's body is lying lifeless. Ethan paced behind me and on getting to the room, his expression changed, a look of horror crossing his face. "What— What have you done, Jane?" He whispered.I felt a pang of uncertainty, of doubt. What had I done? But I pushed it aside, my anger and hurt still simmering. "She deserved it," I said, my voice cold."What?!"Ethan took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Hailey. "She can't b

    Jane's p.o.vI pulled up to Hailey's house, my anger simmering just below the surface. I had been furious since I found that that thong in Ethan's pocket, and I knew exactly who was responsible.Her.Ethan had gone to pick up Dylan and I believe she had done that on purpose. It was her. The one who thought she could play games with my marriage and get away with it.I stormed up to the door and pounded on it, not caring if I woke up the entire neighborhood. God forbid! She isn't home this time.The door opened, and she scurried down to the door entrance from wherever in the house, standing right in front of me with her hands akimbo, a smug look on her pathetic face. "Can I help you?" she asked, her voice dropping with sarcasm."You know exactly why I am here, Hailey," I spat, my anger boiling over. "You think you can play games with my marriage, with my husband?How dare you? How dare you put this damn thing in my husband's pocket?" I hollered at her, tossing the thong to her face.She r

    Jane's p.o.v I screamed into the phone, my voice echoing off the walls of our mansion. "How could you be so stupid to want to even try that, Natasha? What the hell do you mean by Ethan has began a special investigations? And to hell with that! We had a plan, and now it's blown up in our face and what we need to do right now is find a way to subdue it! Ethan must not know I have any hand in this OK? Or you go down even before that ever happens!" Natasha's voice trembled on the other end of the line. "I'm so sorry, Ma'am. I just don't know what to do anymore. If we get caught —if I get caught." I paced back and forth across the room, my high heels clicking on the marble floor of our mansion. "Then you shut the fuck up and let me think of something. I initiated this plan and it is my responsibility to end it. All you need to do henceforth is watch and keep your damn mouth shut. Understood?" Natasha's sniffled, and I could picture her tears streaming down her face. "Yes—Yes, Ma'am." I

    Ethan's p.o.vI stepped out of my car and onto the sidewalk, the bright morning sun a stark contrast to the dark cloud of anxiety that had been following me since last night. The media frenzy surrounding my company, had been simmering for weeks, ever since the allegations of design theft had surfaced. We had managed to quell the storm with the help of a skilled hacker or so we thought untill it seemed to resurface last night, this time with more evidences of various designs and with a vengeance.As I approached the office building, I was met with a sea of paparazzi, their cameras and microphones thrusting forward like weapons. The swarm of reporters parted to let me through, each one shouting questions and trying to get a reaction. I kept my head down, my eyes fixed on the entrance, and pushed through the crowd. The lobby was just as chaotic, with investors and partners milling about, their faces etched with concern and disappointment. I spotted a few familiar faces, people who had b

    Ethan's p.o.v 'Spill the tea! It looks like The Slades' Empire is at it again! Rumor has it they've been stealing designs from others to fuel their growth. Like, girl, if you can't create your own, maybe it's time to step aside? Novices trying to make it big by riding on others' genius? Not.On.My.Watch. #SladesEmpire #DesignDrama #Originalitymatters.' My head banged as I paced around the living room, abandoning my meal as the I*******m story replayed in my head. It got worse with the incessant calls blowing up my other phone. "I don't know father," I held my head, blowing out hot air from my mouth. "Because what the hell was that? Why would anyone try to sabotage us like that by carrying fake news about the company." "This isn't good son. A million likes and hundreds and thousands of comments under twenty four hours!" my father's voice almost broke on the phone. "We need to summon an emergency meeting right now. There's need to contain this from escalating any further. I need you t

    Ethan's p.o.v "What is this I am hearing, Ethan? How do you mean you got another girl pregnant when my daughter has been with you for seven good years without one," Mr. Landon yelled at me as we gather around the dinning table in their mansion. I have been summoned by Jane's parents following Jane's explanation of my situation with Hailey and Dylan to them. They have gone completely ballistic about the issue claiming there's no way they can ever accept such. Mr. Landon most especially. And for once, I really wish Jane never did. "It was a really long time ago, Mr. Landon. It wasn't—" I tried to explain. "I don't want to hear it, Ethan. You will fix this and that will be that you get my daughter pregnant and give this family an heir," he ordered. "What?" "It's an order, Ethan. I order you do that within a space of just six months only," Mr. Landon bellowed even more. "But Sir, you can't just order me to do something that should be an agreement between Jane and I. I am married to
