Chapter 341

George’s POV“Sir, here’s the invitation for the grand opening tonight. Mr. Chua personally invited you to the launch of their new hotel.”“Alright, just leave it there,” I said without looking up. “I’m busy signing these papers.”It’s been four days since I arrived in Hong Kong. I have a satellite office here, and I need to oversee everything personally. The hotel project my company handled has just been completed, and I want to make sure everything is flawless before the turnover.But no matter how busy I try to be, I can’t get Scarlett and Aiah out of my mind. I miss them, terribly.I dropped the pen and rubbed the back of my neck. “Haaah…” I leaned back on my swivel chair, closing my eyes, trying to escape the weight of my thoughts. Tomorrow, finally, I’ll be flying home.But as I stared blankly at the ceiling, the memory of my last conversation with Scarlett came rushing back.Was I rejected? Was that night nothing but a one-night stand to her? Did she stop loving me? But… why d

Chapter 342

Aris’s POVI gave him a long, searching stare, sharp, deliberate. I saw George falter slightly at my words, caught off guard.Earlier, the moment he mentioned Aiah and Scarlett when I walked in, something flickered in my mind.And now, as I watched him closely, the thought became clearer. Aiah and George, they were like two halves of the same mirror. The eyes, the stance, the quiet confidence… I couldn’t be mistaken.So I tested him. And I was right. His reaction gave him away.He could be Aiah’s father… and worse, it seemed he already knew it."So… he’s already seen Scarlett and Aiah in the Country?" I muttered to myself, one brow lifting as I caught the slight tension in his shoulders.“I need to talk to Scarlett,” I whispered under my breath, “before I do something reckless.”I didn’t give him the chance to recover.“I won’t keep you long, Mr. David. I still have to prepare for tonight, Mr. Chua’s party. Are you attending?”“Yes, I’ll be there,” he answered quickly, trying to keep

Chapter 343

Scarlett’s POVI was putting Aiah to sleep when I saw the message Aris sent. My heart instantly skipped, and it pounded even faster when I saw the photo attached.My blood boiled. “Hmph. The ever womanizer, George,” I muttered bitterly, a bit louder than I intended.I quickly turned toward Aiah. Thank goodness, she was fast asleep. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but I could still feel my chest trembling.I looked at the photo again.There was George, smiling, wide and carefree, with a woman beside him. I could see in his eyes how much he was enjoying her company. It felt like a sharp knife stabbed straight through my heart. In anger, I slammed my phone on the table, then tucked the blanket over Aiah before quietly leaving the room.I went to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water. Sitting by the counter, I opened Aris’s message again.“How did he know?” I whispered. Did George tell him?My grip on the glass tightened as the words George told me before came rus

Chapter 344

Nick’s POVAfter I escorted Audrey to her room, I went straight to mine. I could feel the heaviness in my body, tired and sleepy. But the scene I witnessed earlier, Audrey being attacked again, kept replaying in my mind. I wanted to ask her how she was, to comfort her, but I stopped myself. This wasn’t the right time to pry into things she wasn’t ready to share yet.After changing clothes, I lay down and eventually drifted off to sleep. When I woke up, it was already two in the afternoon. I stepped out of my room to check if Audrey was awake. Her door was still closed. As I went outside, I was greeted by Manong Tino.“Good afternoon, Sir. You’re awake,” he greeted. “Good afternoon, Manong. Is Audrey up yet?” “Not yet, Sir. I haven’t seen her come out.” “I see… alright.” “Would you like something to eat? I can prepare it for you.” “Later, Manong. I’ll take a walk first.”He smiled and nodded. “Alright, Sir. I’ll just be at the back if you need anything.”I nodded and started walki

Chapter 345

Audrey’s POVI stole glances at Nick while he was eating. I had such a good sleep earlier that I only woke up now, but I could already feel my stomach growling.“Almost… it almost happened earlier,” I whispered to myself, my heart racing. Why didn’t I move away when he slowly came closer? It’s as if… I wanted to feel his kiss. I bit my lip, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. I quickly looked down, hoping he wouldn’t notice.The surroundings were so beautiful. It felt like we were on a romantic getaway, but wait, why am I even thinking that? I’m here for work, not to drown in scenes that feel like they’re straight out of a movie. I shook my head and focused on my food. To be fair, Manong Tino’s cooking was delicious.When I looked up again, there he was, Nick, staring at me. I panicked a little. I pretended to reach for the water pitcher, but my hand brushed against his. It felt like an electric shock, and I quickly pulled my hand away. “Why is this happening? Why does it feel so st

Chapter 346

Nick’s POVThe restraint… it’s slowly eating me alive. I don’t know how much longer I can keep it together. Being here, alone with Audrey, feels like a dream I never thought I’d live again. I thought it was over. I thought I’d never have the chance to feel this way again. And yet, here she is, beside me. She may be Audrey now, but deep down, I know Jessica is still there. The woman I loved… the woman I still love. The person I miss with an ache that never fades.I try to focus on the beauty around me, but I can’t ignore her presence beside me. I can feel her gaze, and it’s dangerous.Oh please, Audrey… don’t look at me like that. You’ll only lead us somewhere we shouldn’t go. My mind keeps warning me, but my heart screams otherwise.My body, my heart, my soul, everything in me longs for her kiss. But I know… right now, another man occupies her thoughts. I can still hear her voice saying “I love you” to Sage. And that memory cuts deeper than any blade.I don’t want to be a rebound. I

Chapter 347

Audrey’s POV I don’t understand why I’m crying.The tears just keep falling, and I can’t stop them. My heart feels like a mess, lost, confused, without direction.“What is going on with me?” I whispered to myself.Honestly, I was so embarrassed in front of Nick. I still can’t believe I tripped, and worse, that I said those things earlier. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I control my emotions?I was mortified… especially when he pulled away from the kiss. He of all people.I’m angry, angry at myself because it actually hurt when he did that. I shouldn’t be like this. I have a fiancé. I shouldn’t be shaken this way. Maybe I was just caught up in the view, in the moment. I need to draw the line.This is work… yes, this is just work.“Don’t touch me…” I choked out between sobs.“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” Nick said earnestly.I looked at him, really looked. I saw sincerity and worry in his eyes.“Why are you saying sorry, huh?” I asked angrily, my voice trembling.“You’re hurting because

Chapter 348

Sage’s POV“Hah!” I gasped for breath, my back pressed against a tree, cold sweat trickling down my neck. One wrong step, just one, and now they know I’m here. I didn’t notice the hidden camera.“Find him! He’s close! We need to catch him, now!” The shouts echoed through the forest.I shut my eyes for a second. Damn it. One wrong move and I’m done. I can’t turn on my phone, the signal would give me away. I pulled out the map, scanning it quickly. The only way out… the river.I crawled silently through the undergrowth, but froze when I heard heavy footsteps nearby. I dove into the thick bushes and held my breath. Then, I saw her, a woman. Hiding too. Dressed almost like me.“Enemy… or ally?” I whispered under my breath, uncertain.I was about to approach when she turned around. Her eyes widened, her lips parting to scream, but I was faster. My hand clamped over her mouth, and I pushed her down, pinning her beneath me as we hit the ground.“Sir! Still nothing! We can’t find him!” “H

Chapter 349

Audrey’s POVEven though I fell asleep late last night, I woke up early.When I glanced at the clock, it was just past eight. Today’s the day we’re scheduled to visit another part of the property, the waterfalls that Papa plans to make the highlight of the new resort.I took a quick shower and slipped into a fitted lightweight long-sleeved top, hiking pants, and boots. I dried my long hair before tying it into a ponytail, then carefully packed my hiking bag with all the essentials. According to the files Papa sent, we still needed to walk for a few minutes before reaching the falls.As I finished packing, my eyes caught the painting I’d done last night. I couldn’t help but smile. Painting while Nick worked beside me, focused on his design, there was something deeply romantic about that. It felt like we were breathing in the same artistic world. I’m a painter, but the way he moved, every line he drew, every color he chose, fascinated me. Before we went to bed, he showed me the finish

Chapter 350

Nick’s POVMy whole body froze the moment I saw Audrey fall into the waterfall. It was like my ears stopped working, I couldn’t hear anything except the roaring of the water and the furious pounding of my heart.“Jessica!!” I screamed. It was as if I’d been dragged back into the past.It felt like someone had torn open an old wound I’d been trying to hide for years. Five years of nightmares, Jessica drowning, swallowed by the sea, while I could do nothing but watch. And now, seeing the same scene unfold again, I felt my soul shatter all over.But this time… I won’t let it happen again.Before fear could even reach me, I jumped. The water was cold and the current strong, but I didn’t care. The only thing that mattered was Audrey, I needed to save her.Under the water, I saw her, eyes closed, limp, sinking deeper. Her hair floated around her like dark ribbons, fading away from my sight.Audrey… I whispered in my mind, swimming with everything I had.I reached for her, grabbed her by the
