Jenna loved Mike with all her heart, but one day, he walked away, leaving her shattered and full of questions. For years, she tried to pick up the pieces, convincing herself she was better off without him, but deep down, the ache of his absence never faded. Mike thought leaving Jenna was the right thing to do-that she deserved a life free from his burdens. But the distance didn't erase the love he carried for her, nor did it ease the regret that consumed him every single day. When their paths cross again, the feelings they've both tried to bury come rushing back, raw and undeniable. But love isn't always enough to fix what's broken. The ghosts of their past still linger, threatening to pull them apart once more. This isn't just a story of romance; it's a story of heartbreak, redemption, and the courage it takes to fight for what matters. It's about the messy, imperfect journey of learning to forgive, and the hope that sometimes, love really can bring you home. Where Our Hearts Belong is for anyone who's ever been hurt but dared to love again, for anyone who's ever believed that even the deepest wounds can heal if two people are willing to hold on.

WHERE OUR HEARTS BELONG Chapter 1 WHEN THE PAST COMES KNOCKING

The day was beautiful, not rainy, not too sunny, just the perfect day. But not for Jenna

Cos as she sat there at the office, staring at nothing in particular hers was ruined. She couldn't remember a worse day..... Oh yeah, there had been the day Mike had broken up with her, that had been the worst day of her life but that had been six (6) years ago and ever since then, she has managed to put her life together and move on, which had been going on well until today.

Seeing his face again after six long years was something she never prepared herself for, so here she was completely traumatized over the meeting experience. She has a staff meeting in the next five (5) minutes but she couldn't bring herself to attend. Seeing his face again brought back all sorts of memories. Memories she had tried so much to forget and lock up somewhere and now, they all came washing up back to the surface as fresh tears ran down the corners of her eyes.

"Miss Jenna the meeting is about to commence, and the new supervisor will be introduced so everyone is expected to be present." Said Clara

Who worked as the company's secretary.

Those words jerked Jenna back to the present and she hurriedly took up her writing pad and headed to the meeting room.

"Grow up Jenna and stop behaving like a kid, what happened, happened 6 years ago so you've got to get over that now"

She knew that was a lie. But it always made her feel better, she had gone too far to lose control now. She planted a beautiful smile on her face as she walked into the meeting room.

A smile that fled as soon as she saw Mike, the cause of all her pains sitting right next to the boss.

"How could this be"

she thought to herself as she sat numbly on her seat

"The new supervisor will be introduced today so everyone is expected to be present"

She remembered the secretary saying

" Oh no "

She said out loud

"I'm sorry, were you talking to me"

Someone said beside her.

" No please, I was just thinking out loud"

'Could it be that Mike was the new supervisor?'

"Erm Erm, good morning everyone"

The boss said as he started his speech distracting Jenna from her troubled thoughts

"I'm glad you all could make it to this very important meeting. I called for this meeting so I could introduce someone very important to us all, I am talking about..... Mr. Mike Thomas...

Our new supervisor who just completed his training in Nebraska and has been sent to work with us for a space of 1 year and 6 months. He will be the one in charge of everything from now on and except he can't handle anything before it should be sent to my table.

Mr. Mike, you are welcome to VISION SWIPE, we know for a certainty that we would enjoy working with you"

"Thank you ".

As the applaud kept rolling out and everyone was smiling, chit-chatting, and making friendly welcome chats with Mike, ...Jenna froze in her seat

After work she packed up her things into her small portable handbag ready to go back home to nurse her troubled heart, she thought of putting in her resignation letter but she had gone through a lot to get the job

"Jobs are not easy to come by these days"

She thought to herself as she walked out of her office, she stopped right at the door and turned to look at what used to be her solace.

Oh how much she used to enjoy walking into her office but now she dreads the idea of coming to work the next day.

she turned to leave with her mind made up to avoid any personal meeting with Mike for her sanity, she may lose her mind.

Everything seemed to be against her at that moment because right ahead of her was Mike walking towards her with that same smile that had drawn her years ago but now tore her instead. All she wanted to do was wipe it off his face.

"Hi Jenna Austin, it's nice to meet you again it's been ages since we last spoke and you still look as lovely as I can remember as though nothing has changed"

'Bastard'

She thought to herself

'How can he look so relaxed as if he has forgotten what he did to me 6 years ago?

Maybe the two years we spent together meant nothing to him'

But contrary to what was going on in her mind, she managed to smile

"Hello Mike it's nice to meet you too"

"I doubt that". he said

'Oh well he's still a pompous jerk'

She thought but because he was now the new supervisor and she needed to keep her job she said instead.

"And you haven't changed that much either only now you are my new supervisor, who would have thought"

She said as she rolled her eyes.

"Jennie ......while he was yet to speak, she interrupted ...

"The name is Jenna Austin and if you don't mind I've had a really long day and would love to get home to rest. Do have a nice day sir "

Jenna thought she would break down at that point...

"Did he just call me Jennie as though nothing had changed? How dare he ......

She thought as she stormed angrily out of the passageway and threw herself behind the wheel and zoomed off.

Who gave him the right to call me Jennie, after all the pain he caused me, he dared to open his stupid mouth and call me Jennie .....

"I wish you'd choke on that name,

I wish you'd just die,

Why did you come back ......."

She finally let lose her anger as she angrily hit the steering

"I can't do this anymore, I need to talk to sapphire"

She immediately took out her phone and placed a call to sapphire her therapist 6 years ago who became her best friend.

"Hello Saph, you wouldn't believe who I saw today saph I saw Mike ...

Mike has been transferred to our company and he is our new supervisor and he called me Jennie...can you imagine that Saph?"

"Whoa Jennie calm down you are talking too fast I need you to calm down okay?

Take a deep breath"

"I'm fucking calm Saph. Wait, did I say I'm calm? No.

I arrived at my uncle’s mansion looking like human trash, clutching a one-way bus ticket and a duffel bag stuffed with old newspaper. My aunt looked at me with pure disgust, as if she could smell the poverty on my skin, but they needed me for one thing: to be a sacrificial lamb. They told me I was getting married to Julian Sterling, a man the elite circles called a violent monster locked in a cage. My uncle forced me to sign away my soul to save their failing fortune, while my cousin Kayla laughed and threw a torn dress at my feet, calling me a "rat from the Rust Belt." At the Sterling estate, the nightmare only deepened. Julian’s stepmother treated me like a horse she was forced to buy, ordering the staff to "burn off" my hair before locking me in the West Wing. I was thrown into a padded cell with a man who lunged at me, his heavy chains rattling against the floor as he roared with an animalistic rage that had already killed two nurses. They thought I was a pathetic, uneducated girl who "didn't read so good." They didn't know I had extorted two million dollars from my uncle before walking out the door, or that I was secretly recording every slap and insult they threw at me for future leverage. I huddled in the corner of that dark cell, letting them watch me tremble on the security feeds. I let Julian’s sister strike me with a riding crop and splash water in my face, playing the role of the clumsy, sobbing idiot to perfection. But the moment the cameras looped, the scared girl vanished. I pinned the "monster" to the floor, cut the neural tracking chip out of his neck with a hidden scalpel, and whispered into his ear as his blue eyes finally cleared. They thought they were sending a lamb to the slaughter. They had no idea they were sending a wolf to hunt a beast.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
