Chapter 21) Refined in the fire.

Adira's pov,It was 7pm, and I was awake staring at my laptop that was on the light wooden table. While staring at my laptop screen, I also stared at the gold wristwatch in my hand. I had put the wristwatch up for sale this evening after much thought about it, because I needed enough money to leave the city and go to Cindaly. I have been staying at Aunt Becky's house for an entire month, and since she and Joseph had noticeably helped me heal my wounds, I decided it was time for me to move on and become the greatest version of myself. I wasn't in any way ready to return to Glems' company to work there. Rather, I had decided to establish myself and be recognized by the public. Because as a successful jeweler who once worked in the Glems company, only my creations were highly recognized. But the jewelries' creator, me, was barely recognized. And what better way to do that if not going to Cindaly? There was a particular company in Cindaly built especially for jewelers like myself.

Chapter 22) Pregnant with my child/ Guilt.

Nathan's pov,“What was with that commotion, Rodriguez? Can't you see that it's night? Who were you busy shouting and raising your voice at?”. My mother asked my father, but instead of replying to her, my father glared at me, since he was facing my direction. My mother naturally noticed that my father's gaze was fixed elsewhere, so she traced the source and turned around, thus seeing me.I saw the way her eyes widened in disbelief, displaying how surprised she was to see me. I have not visited the villa for a month. Besides, she had no idea that I was coming to the villa after all. “Nathan?”. My name escaped from her lips, before the frown on her face disappeared, and she smiled at me. She approached me and stood in front of me. “I didn't know that you were visiting today. Why didn't you inform me? I would have asked the chefs to prepare you your favorite dishes”. She said to me. “I had to come because my father wanted to see me. Most especially, I came here today because I wanted

Chapter 23) Telling them/ Regret.

I got out of the car and went straight into the building. As I arrived in the living room, there was no one there. So I went upstairs to my parents' bedroom and knocked on their door. I rarely did this, but here I was, standing and knocking on their room door, all because I wanted to tell them about the injustice Nathan had done to Adira. It took less than a minute, and the door to the room was opened by my mother, who was wearing a night gown that was made using silk materials.The pale look on her face, including the dark circles beneath her eyes, made me frown and feel unhappy. “Mom. What about Dad? Isn't he in the room with you?”. I asked her.“Kai? What are you doing here this late? I didn't know that you were coming over here”. She said to me with a smile. But I could easily tell that it was a forced smile. She hasn't been able to sleep properly because of Adira. Other than that, ever since Nathan divorced Adira, she has not been in a good mood because Adira had not apolog

Chapter 24) Inspiration/ The three layer design.

The next day,Adira's pov, I woke up very early today because I couldn't sleep that much. I was impatient and kept on thinking about the person who wanted to buy my wristwatch. At 1am in the morning, I woke up and began to talk to myself. Asking what the person wanted to use the wristwatch for. So stupid of me to ask myself such a question.Then, at 3am, I woke up again and began to wonder. What if the person who wanted to buy my wristwatch was going to join the jewelry contest too? Would I not automatically be putting myself in a disadvantageous position?I went back to sleep after that, but woke up by 5am. And this time, I began to imagine if it was a woman who wanted to buy my wristwatch. The wristwatch was a man's wristwatch, so what did a woman want it for? To give it to her husband? Her boyfriend? Her friend? Her brother? Or her son?After thinking about this, I wasn't able to sleep anymore. So, instead of remaining lying on the bed and staring at the plain white ceiling

Chapter 25) Mother and son.

I remained in my room until it was 6am. Actually, this room belonged to Joseph. But it was given to me, while Joseph stayed with his mother in the main room. When I first came to Aunt Becky's house and later settled in, I had intended to sleep in the living room at night. But both Joseph and his mother stubbornly refused my idea and decided that I stay in Joseph's room. “Don't worry, I will perfect you later”. I placed an invisible kiss on my sketch as I said to it. Afterward, I rose from the chair I was sitting on and stretched my hands above my head, causing a yawn to escape from my mouth. What assisted the yawn was the growling sound of my stomach. I was hungry, and craving tea and pancakes. Because of this, I hurried up and left my bedroom, heading downstairs, since I didn't want to meet Aunt Becky in the kitchen. If she was the one in the kitchen, then this morning's breakfast was definitely going to be a different story. As I arrived inside the kitchen and didn't see Aun

Chapter 26) Because of me?

By the way, Joseph was in 7th grade. “If it would make you feel better, Joseph, I made pancakes today. Aren't pancakes your favorite? Or did I recall wrongly?”. I asked him with a raised brow. “No, you remembered correctly, cousin Adira!”. He exclaimed, and his eyes had brightened. “Well, what are you waiting for? They are waiting for you in the dining room. I heard that if you eat what makes you happy, then studying your math wouldn't be a big deal”. I said to him. Hearing my words, Joseph's brows furrowed, displaying his disbelief in my words. “Really?”. He asked me with a pure hint of doubt in his voice. He may have ranked 15th during his previous exam results, but that didn't change the fact that he was a smart kid. The only problem is that he plays too many video games and doesn't always have enough time to study his books. “Of course. Or don't you believe me? Do you think I am a liar?”. I asked him, and he immediately shook his head at me. “I will head downstairs then, c

Chapter 27) Unprofessional.

The drive to Joseph's school was only a ten minute drive, or more than that. I knew this because I had driven to the school a couple of times before, when I voluntarily went to the school to pick up Aunt Becky and Joseph. Additionally, I knew from Joseph that they usually closed school around 3pm. So whenever I was free at home and was not busy forcing inspiration upon myself to sketch any designs, I made sure to drive to the school and arrive there at exactly 2:45pm, or a little later than that. “That's right. You haven't answered my question, Adira. How did you get so good at making pancakes? I really didn't expect the pancakes you made to be very delicious. If they were sold at a restaurant, I am sure that you would have sold everything out”. Aunt Becky said to me. She was such a sweet talker. There was no way that my pancakes were as good as she said. Though they weren't bad either. They were delicious. But, that was not important. Her question made me understand the reason

Chapter 28) Daylight robbery.

After hearing the deep voice that spoke to me, I instantly lifted my head and stared at the owner of the voice, only for the owner of the voice to turn out to be the same man who had just entered Slizzy's coffee store and was looking around the store. Now that he was close to me, his blonde hair that was styled back, came into view. So he was the Sniper person? There was another chair positioned at my table, so he didn't hesitate and sat there. “Are you going to keep on staring at me, Miss? Aren't we here for business? Or are you having fun flirting with me right now in the middle of a business transaction?”. “Huh?”. My brows furrowed. It was thanks to the serious look on his face that I thought he was an intimidating person, despite the innocent appearance he possessed. But seeing how he could not stop smiling at me and staring into my eyes with his pair of flirtatious green eyes, I felt uncomfortable with that and could not wait to get the heck out of this coffee

Chapter 29) Crossing paths.

Adira's pov, The last drop of coffee entered my mouth and I swallowed it, before I left the coffee mug on the table and rose from my seat. I left Slizzy's coffee store with a straight look on my face. Anyone who saw me might think that I was angry or having a bad day. But that was the exact opposite. I might not be able to express or show it on my face, but I was feeling a mind blowing excitement within my heart. I got a hundred thousand dollars for the wristwatch that I only spent twenty thousand dollars to make. Twenty thousand dollars? This made me begin to think about my foolishness. If they were to rate my foolishness, then how many percent would that be? Because, how could I be so foolish to the extent of spending such an amount of money and time on making a masterpiece for someone who didn't appreciate me? I must be a fool. A big blind fool. Although I hated to sell the wristwatch, I was glad that I had gotten my money back, and an extra added to the top. But truth to

Chapter 30) Something wrong.

I stopped thinking about the three figures, Adira, Jordan and Jordan's little brother, before my mind began to think about the important person I came to this city to meet. He was a strange person, and I can't seem to figure him out. I had requested Jordan's little brother to investigate his background for me, but his background was clean. I refused to believe it. That was why I didn't disconnect myself from him after I did business with him for the first and second time. It was a coincidence that he and I connected with each other on my social media account, which I rarely make use of. However, I believe that it wasn't a coincidence. I believed that it was planned. I vividly remembered how it happened. I was in Cindaly city, the same city where I was serving as a soldier. After I retired, and after Joanne broke up with me, I shut myself away from the world and stayed indoors in my penthouse almost all the time. Then one day, I received a message on my social media account, and th
