Andrea’s POVWhen we got back to the villa, we immediately took a shower to get ready for the yacht dinner.While Nick was in the bathroom, I carefully slipped a pill into my pocket, the pill that would change our relationship. A seductive smile formed on my lips as I closed my eyes briefly."Let’s go, hon," Nick called.I was startled by his sudden appearance. I was so deep in thought I didn’t even notice him coming out."Okay, let’s go!" I replied cheerfully, linking my arm with his.A waiter escorted us to the yacht. It was huge and beautiful, a luxurious vessel that sparkled under the moonlight. There was a large deck above, and at its center stood a long table with four chair
Andrea’s POVSeriously? Nick left me again? Even here, work is still chasing him? I couldn’t help but throw a mini tantrum. Jessica and the others had already left, and I was left alone at the table, waiting for Nick.A few moments later, he finally came back. I forced a smile, even though deep down, I was already annoyed.“Good thing you came back, Hon. You took so long. I was left here all alone. I’m sulking now.”“I’m sorry, Hon. There were urgent matters at the office. I couldn’t just ignore them. Do you want to walk around a bit? I need to go to our room and check something on my laptop.”I sighed at what he said. Seriously, nothing’s going the way I imagi
Jessica’s POVIn the past few days, I buried myself in work, trying to keep my mind off Nick. Thankfully, Rich was there. Every time I needed someone to lean on, he never hesitated to be there for me. It also helped that we had a work collaboration, so we were often together. With his presence, somehow, things felt lighter. I felt like we were growing closer and closer.Even though my heart was broken, some of the business deals I worked on turned out to be successful. The company’s stock and image were gradually improving. I closed several deals, and because of that, Dad finally allowed me to take a vacation.I was snapped out of my thoughts when Rich suddenly touched my face. My eyes widened in surprise."You have something on your face," he said before tak
Jessica’s POVRich and I were the first to eat at the patio. Honestly, Dad’s announcement about this vacation he prepared for us and for Andrea’s family came out of nowhere. So I didn’t really have much time to prepare for it. I didn’t even want to come at first because I kept remembering what happened between Nick and me at the engagement party. But I knew, I couldn't just give up that easily.While Rich and I were eating, I saw Andrea and Nick approaching. Andrea had a huge smile on her face as she clung to Nick’s arm.My eyes stung at the sight, so I forced myself to look away. I tried hard to hide what I was feeling, but I couldn’t stop the ache wrapping itself around my heart. I didn’t want Nick to notice me, didn’t want him to see the pain in my eyes. So I looked away and gave Rich the sweetest smile I c
Andrea’s POVAs soon as we got off the plane, I happily twirled around on the warm, soft sand. I even removed my flats just to feel the fine grains between my toes, it felt so good.“Wow! Hon, this place is heaven! I love it so much,” I said to Nick as I looked around. The scenery was perfect, the sand was pure white, and the sea was deep blue. I closed my eyes to inhale the salty scent of the ocean. I smiled brightly.But the smile on my lips vanished the moment I opened my eyes and saw the one person I never wanted to see here. She was getting off the plane, assisted by her companion.“Shit!!”“Be careful, Jess.”“Thank you,”
Andrea’s POVI waited for Nick at the airport with excitement, unable to keep still as I kept checking the time. I wanted to travel with him, but he insisted I go ahead because of an important meeting. I couldn’t help but feel annoyed, we didn’t even get to enjoy our engagement night. Dad immediately took him away, and they talked business until morning.It’s been almost a week since our engagement was announced, but Nick and I barely had any time together. He’s always busy at the office. He keeps saying he’s catching up on work after his hospitalization and the loss of some of his memories.I tried visiting him at his office, but his schedule was always packed with meetings, and his desk was buried in paperwork. That’s why I couldn’t hide my happiness when Daddy told me he booked a private resort just for me
