True Love’s Cure

CHAPTER 1Eva’s POV“Eva wait! Come back, I can explain!”I covered my ears while dashing towards the door. I had listened to Jace’s lies long enough. Everything was a blur but luckily, I could grab my suitcase and fill it with essentials. Just enough to leave this toxic mess of a relationship.“Eva she was trying to seduce me, you gotta believe me.”Jace said while buttoning his shirt. His jeans hung loosely on his waist. If looks could kill, my glare would send him 6 feet under. This wasn’t our first rodeo. I thought Jace and I could make it work. After months of couple’s therapy, vacations and getting a pet dog. After everything.“Get out of my way you piece of shit”I said while holding back tears. I made my way to the living room. The frames of us together on a fishing trip tugged my heart. At the end of the day, bags in my hands and a heavy heart -I was disposable. I heard the back door slam shut. Seeing as Jace and I were the only ones here, Melody had scurried out like a wet m

CHAPTER 3 ​You would think that after years of working late hours without overtime, creating innovative ideas for the brand and cleaning up all the dirt of the business, you could keep your job despite interpersonal relationship issues. But no, I’m storming into Madame Christine’s office with the last shred of dignity I have, to demand an explanation. ​I take a deep breath. As the elevator ascended to the top floor, the memories of when I first started this job began seeping in. I was a nerve wreck. 19-year-old me was balancing the folders of sketches, mood boards and portfolios right in front of her. My outfit was barely impressive, definitely not “couture”. However, Madame Christine peered into my cut-out pages, looked at me with stern eyes and muttered “potential” ​We never had the fondest of relationships. Very firm responses and reviews, a slight chuckle here and there. My relationship with Jace wasn’t a topic of conversation. So why would she dro

CHAPTER 5 Eva’s POV ​My Jaw dropped when a jet black limited edition range rover parked in front of Stacy’s apartment building. My heart was pounding, almost out of my chest. This is really my work car? A man dressed in a burgundy suit carried my bags into the boot and opened the door for me. Such chivalry, this must be how princesses feel. I stepped into the car and snuggled into the fine leather seat. The car’s fragrance was balsamic and rich. As we drove to the manor, The trip was soothing, the SUV glided along the streets, each passing one fancier than the last. Until it finally clicked. I know this route. This is the way to that girl’s house I saved! Oh my goodness, Did I save my Boss’s daughter? No, she’s too grown for him to have had her. Could be his little sister. And I was right. It was the same impressive gate I saw last month that opened up as we rolled in. My eyes widened in awe. The mansion is nothing I could have ever imagined. The architecture and luxury touches.

CHAPTER 7Eva's POVThe rest of the day was a breeze luckily. I messaged the assistant to Mr Rowland about the appointment and it was fixed. Whoever this man thinks he is, he can't lurk in the shadows and ruin things. I reached for my work phone when it rang. It was an unknown number. I sighed and slid the button to answer, because it could be anyone from the industry. "Good evening, This is Eva Knox from Neo Tempest Industries, how may I help you?""Wow, you sound like such a big girl, Eva."I felt my chest tighten as time seemed to slow down. This insufferable scumbag-"Jace Draven, how did you get this number?" I shouted. "Woah there cupacake, no need to flare up. You know I have my ways" He slurred. That sickening voice. A voice I was once head over heals for now made my stomach churn. "Jace if this isn't concerning business, I have to keep the line open for something actually important." I moved the phone from my ear when his words pierced me like a dagger. "You might want to

Sterling’s POVAfter scanning through my recent doctor’s report, my vitals are improving greatly after the hire. I can finally get eight hours of sleep and read some books I’ve put off. Miss Knox works so efficiently and it’s only been 3 weeks. After a long meeting with the Dao group, I’m completely exhausted. As I walk into the manor, Miss Knox’s hallway to her room is lit. I sigh with a sense of pride. I dragged myself to the shower, casually singing an old school song Starry night. As I slipped my robe on, I saw a figure lying on the bed. I switched on the lowlights and saw Amber in black lingerie gazing at me. “Amber, you can’t sneak up on me like that.” I said while covering my flushed face. She rolled her bedroom eyes and giggled. “You act like it’s the first time. Men are so predictable” Amber said in a sultry voice.She wasn’t wrong. We've played this games before, I can map out every inch of her voluptuous body. And she knows all my buttons. “Amber, we agreed to stop thi
