Derrick’s POV.As soon as she said the words, even though there wasn’t anger behind it and she didn’t exactly bat it out of my hands, I was taken back to that day with Kara, when she’d refused the very same necklace.Well, not that exact necklace. That necklace was destroyed in the fire. The one I tried to give Jesse was from the same exact store, one of the same models, so there was no way she wouldn’t recognize it if she were Kara.That being said, I was trying so hard not to see similarities between Kara and Jesse, but her refusing my gift was too much.There was no way two different women would refuse the same gift, especially one as expensive and beautiful as that ruby necklace. There weren’t many people who would refuse such a gift because of its value alone.Especially not a graphic designer like Jesse Brady.Refusing to allow me to pay for a meal was one thing. But refusing a ruby and gold necklace?“It would be unprofessional for me to accept a gift like this,” Jesse, or Kara

Kara’s POV.“And he started it again!” I bitched at Axel. “And he’s getting aggressive. He’s calling me at ungodly hours in the night, telling me I need to come home on my own accord, or he was going to drag me back!”I was supposed to be meeting up with Derrick this evening, and I was done with him. I stayed overnight for the last two days to finish the whole rebranding, and sent it to Terra, who approved it. Now, it was Derrick’s chance to approve it.If he approved, then our partnership would end.But I had a feeling that Derrick would do no such thing.Axel, my vent companion, looked alarmed.“This is getting out of hand, Kara,” he proclaimed, his voice low. True worry shone from his eyes. “We need to put an end to it. Go and tell Terra what the man’s up to, and she will nip it by the bud.”“I’ll see how this evening’s meeting goes and think about it,” I promised him, although I really didn’t want to. This fight was mine and mine only to fight, and getting my boss involved seemed

Kara’s POV.I was mortified and appalled. How had Derrick figured out my home address?! I had not listed it anywhere on my socials, and the company never gave it out unless it was absolutely necessary. Had Derrick bribed a security guard or something for it?! How dare he, anyway?“Why are you here?!” I finally asked him. “Mr. Whitney, this is highly inappropriate!”“Oh, screw that bullshit, I’m done playing this game with you, Kara!” Derrick growled, and I found myself fighting not to take a step back. Something told me that I needed to hold my ground, so as not to give Derrick any ideas of intimidating me. I was surprised by his appearance that I nearly forgot what he called me.“This nonsense again?” I asked, getting angry. “How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not your dead wife before you realize it? I can show you my driving license and even my passport if you want, because I’m not Kara! I never was, and I never will be.”“Again, with the lies,” Derrick replied, coming c

Jade’s POV.The ring on my doorbell was unexpected on a weekday, so when I heard the sound, I nearly flinched.I’d spend the whole evening internet-stalking Derrick Whitney, trying to see if he had truly moved on from me and what happened with Kara. I had been dreading the day he found a new girlfriend, because that would be detrimental to me.After Kara’s death, Derrick started to unravel. He looked at me with suspicion, and it seemed like he was finally understanding what I’d done to distance him from his wife. He didn’t know what exactly I’d done, but he’d guessed some of it, and no matter how much I tried, I could era the suspicion from his eyes.So, in the end, about a month after Derrick and Kara’s villa went up in flames, Derrick told me that he couldn’t stand to be with me anymore. Apparently, it felt like a slight against Kara’s memory.Like, it was already to cheat on Kara with me when she was alive, but it was only a slight after she died? It was absurd. I tried so hard to

Kara’s POV.Derrick was like a man possessed as he tried to hit Axel over and over. Axel again, for his part, managed to dodge some of Derrick’s punches, but one caught him in the mouth and split his lip. He did not fight back, which was smart because that meant no one would see him as violent, and that first punch would be forgiven.Still, I was so angry that I wanted to join the fight myself, but that would not go well. So, I tried my best to pull Axel away from Derrick, while Jade tried to do the same.But then, security rushed in.The burly men in uniform managed to pull them away from each other in record time, and Derrick hurled expletives at everyone within reach. The security guards tried to calm him down, but he didn’t listen to them. Instead, he tried to break off from their hold and rush at me.People were filming the whole thing with glee, and everyone recognized Derrick. That meant this would definite
