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 had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
