When I Stopped Running Chapter 71- Stay Away
Jessica's PovI stared at the message until the screen dimmed, my body in total numb."Stay away from Roman." I read aloud. There was no name, or number, just those three words."What happened?" Rolda's voice pulled me back. She had just finished setting dinner on the small wooden table. The smell of garlic and herbs filled the cottage, but suddenly I wasn't hungry anymore.I looked up instantly as I put my emotions together."Nothing," I said quietly, and she gave me a look."You've never been good at lying," She said firmly, her eyes a clear indication that she wanted nothing but answers.I sighed before handing her my phone. She read the message once, then again, before her expression changed immediately."Who sent this?" She questioned firmly."I don't know," I answered quickly, my eyes glowed with the helplessness I felt.She looked at the unknown number in a bid to investigate."No profile picture," She started."No name," She went on."No anything," She added with the same meas
When I Stopped Running Chapter 70 - An Invitation
Jessica's PovRoman smiled the moment I stopped in front of him."I was beginning to think you'd pretend not to see me," He said calmly.I folded my arms in defence."I'm working," I answered."I can see that." He added, his eyes moved briefly across the lobby before returning to me."Congratulations.""For what?" I asked."For getting your life back." His voice was warm and calm enough that anyone watching would think he was an old friend stopping by."I'm just doing my job," I answered."You fought for it," Roman interjected and there was a short silence afterward."I heard the board cleared your name," Roman started."They did," I replied."I'm glad." He stated, His words sounded genuine."I appreciate that," I said politely."I won't keep you long," He added with a smile."Good," I said and his smile widened slightly."I came because I wanted an answer," He started. I already knew what he meant."The job?" I asked."Yes."I let out a slow breath."I've already made my decision," I

When I Stopped Running Chapter 69 - The Goodbye She Didn't Expect
Jessica's Pov"Morning."Ethan balanced two cups of coffee in one hand while carrying a folder under the other arm."Morning," I replied.He placed one cup beside me."You look suspiciously awake today.""I slept," I said with a sigh."For once.""I sleep.""You survive," he corrected. "There's a difference."I rolled my eyes."You always have something to say.""It's one of my better qualities."I couldn't argue with that. He took a sip of his coffee before glancing toward reception."Oh.""What?" I asked curiously."Looks like your VIP is checking out," He explained.My fingers paused above the reservation log."I thought he booked three nights," Ethan uttered."He did."Ethan shrugged, his eyes clearly looking for more answers."Apparently his meetings wrapped up early," I explained."I see." He looked at me carefully."Happy?" He asked."Should I be?" I questioned back."I thought you wanted him gone," He muttered."I do," I answered in all honesty. My words came easily.Ethan wat
When I Stopped Running Chapter 68 - Dinner For One
Jessica's Pov"Jessica."I looked up from the reservation log and Mr. Bernard was walking toward the concierge desk with his usual calm expression. A tablet rested beneath his arm."Yes, sir?" I asked."Suite 1803 has requested a dinner reservation," He stated.My fingers paused over the screen."All right,"I answered."The restaurant upstairs is fully booked, so we've arranged a private dining setup in the Skyline Room," Mr. Bernard added.I nodded professionally."I'll have everything prepared," I responded."Good." He glanced at the tablet. "Mr. Stone specifically requested that the concierge handling his stay oversee the arrangements."Of course he did, I said within me while I kept my face neutral."I understand," I answered.Mr. Bernard gave me a reassuring look before walking away.Ethan appeared beside me almost immediately."Guess who drew the lucky assignment?" He asked rhetorically."I don't feel very lucky," I responded with a sigh."You know..." he said thoughtfully. "You

Jessica's PovI walked down the hallway with my heart still pounding. I walked with heavy steps, my hand still remembered the feel of the door handle and my ears still echoed with his voice."I'm glad you came back." My body shook at his words, but I kept walking.The elevator ride down gave me time to breathe. I watched the numbers change and my reflection in the polished doors. My face looked calm and in controlled, nothing like what I felt inside.When the doors opened, Ethan was waiting near the concierge desk."There you are," he said. "I called you five minutes ago," He added with a smile."Sorry. I was delayed," I replied, my voice coming out soft.He studied my face for a moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly."You look like someone just told you bad news," He stated, his eyes fixated on mine."I'm fine," I added quickly."You sure?"I forced a smile. "Positive."He didn't look convinced, but he let it go."Presidential lounge needs new towels and a fruit basket. Someone com
