SEVEN MONTHS TO MAKE HIM BEG
Jayla Kensington was 24 when she was married into a family arranged marriage to 32 years old Alexander Woodford to save her father’s crumbling business empire. For two years she played the role of a perfect, loving and submissive wife…until she caught him in bed with her best friend Sophia. Cold, arrogant, and scarred by his mother’s brutal abandonment, Alex pushed her away with cruel indifference, then suggested an open marriage to preserve the business merger.
Jayla reaches her breaking point and refuses to be the victim anymore, which makes her plan to take her revenge in the most audacious way possible. She books the most exclusive anonymous escort in New York, pays in cash, but was shocked by the figure that stood in front of her.
It was him, Alexander. The husband who wants nothing to do with her yet he was in her suite. He drove her home under the name of dignity and respect for her vows.
He humiliated her and in the moment of the argument they had a heated sex. Although Jayla hates herself for letting him sleep with her, and even now, is forced to stay under the same roof with him, just because they are still bound by the contract.
She refused to let that one night of passion ruin her new found confidence, she sends him out of her room every time Alexander wants to make a move thinking she was still the obedient wife that desperately needed his attention.
What begins as her revenge quickly escalates into a slow burn war of hearts. Alex will chase her across the danger filled streets of New York, sacrificing billions and his pride to win her back. Jayla fights him with every sassy weapon she has, even as their forbidden chemistry reignites.

Chapter: CHAPTER 6: The Devil’s BargainMia looked up from the couch immediately Jayla stormed in, her brows knitting together as she took in Jayla’s expression. “Well?” she asked, already rising to her feet. “How did it go?”She didn’t answer. “Jayla?” Mia tried again, softer this time.Still nothing. She simply walked past her without a word and headed straight for the bedroom.“I’m not in the mood,” she said over her shoulder, keeping her voice as calm as she could. “I’ll explain everything in the morning. I promise.”Mia looked at her with compassion. “That bad, huh?”Jayla paused at her bedroom door. For a second, it looked like she might turn back and say something…anything.But then she shook head slightly. “Worse,” she said quietly, and disappeared into the room.Inside the room, silence swallowed her whole. The thought about everything she had endured at Alex’s hands all because she wanted to save her father's empire came like a haunting shadow.It had seemed worth it at first as her father's businesses were slowl

Chapter: CHAPTER 5: A Seat at the TableThe Woodford estate had always felt less like a home…and more like a kingdom. A cold and untouchable kingdom built to remind anyone who stepped inside exactly how small they were.When Jayla stepped out of the car on that fateful evening of the dinner, her eyes lifted to the towering structure before her, where every window was glowing with warm golden lights. But there was nothing welcoming about it…There never had been.Beside her, her father adjusted his suit nervously, smoothing out invisible creases as if that alone could prepare him for whatever awaited them inside.“Remember,” he murmured under his breath, “we’re here to talk, not to…”“To be humiliated?” Jayla asked coldly, not even bothering to look at him.He sighed. “Jayla…”But she was already walking ahead.The doors opened before she could reach them, and the staff greeted them with polite, rehearsed smiles. Everything was pristine, controlled, and perfect as always, just like the people who owned it.They were led into

Chapter: Chapter 4: The InvitationThree months later.The city was alive outside Mia’s apartment where Jayla had been staying after leaving her matrimonial home. She stood by the window, staring down at the restless glow of New York. The traffic below was a blurry streak of red and white, and car horns were echoing into the night like distant arguments that never seemed to end.The noise would have irritated her normally, but not tonight. Tonight, it matched the noise in her head.Three months. Three months since she had walked into that bedroom…since everything she thought she understood about her life had been torn open and gutted in the span of a single breath.And somehow…she still wasn’t free.She was dragged out of her roaming thoughts by the sudden ringing of her phone, and her father's name appearing on the screen did not help matters. Especially since all he had done was try to convince her that her marriage was more important than one affair. She had been disgusted by it, refusing to go home or talk to him e

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: The dangerous choiceJayla stood still at the doorway, taking everything in. Sophia still perched on the edge of the bed with the sheet covering her visible nakedness.Her hair was a mess, and her dress was crumpled up next to the chair.Then Alex casually rose from the bed and stood near the window. He picked his robe and put it on showcasing his broad hairy buildup chest and his wedding ring still hinging on his finger.When she caught the sight of it, her heart clenched a bit longer than it should have.“Alex babe… I want more…” Sophia bit her lower lips seductively, totally ignoring Jayla’s presence.Jayla tried to say something but nothing came out as the scene completely made her dumbfounded.The room became quiet and suffocating as her eyes caught every detailed and careful arrangement of their belongings before the event.She knows it wasn’t a freaking accident, it was a deliberate act like something that has been happening for a while.Jayla gulped. “How long?” It struck her how broken her own vo

Chapter: Chapter 2: The painful surprise.The flight from Chicago had been canceled at the last minute…some mechanical issue with the private jet according to the airline.Instead of spending another night in the hotel, Jayla had decided to return home.“Hi husband, the flight has just been canceled, and I will be heading home.” The familiar voicemail beeping tone filled the silence.Jayla didn’t think much of it. Her husband has been a little tied up with work recently.She picked up her fur coat and gloves and headed towards the car.The drive from the hotel to the Woodford Mansion lasted for an hour and Jayla sat in the rear seat in silence listening to the weather forecast on the radio.As soon as she stepped out of the car, she was met with a surprising sight. Alex’s favourite black Maybach was parked in its usual spot in the garage, which was weird because he was never one to miss a day at his office.What even made it more surprising was the red Mercedes beside it…Her best friend Sophia's car.Probably nothing serious,

Chapter: Chapter 1:The First AnniversaryJayla looked at herself in the mirror for the tenth time and she just couldn’t recognize the woman staring back at her.Maybe it was the new dress she had bought three days ago and hidden beneath a stack of clothes embarrassed by how much she wanted to wear it.Or it’s the new shampoo she had added to her haircare collection just to make sure everything was perfect for this night.Tonight was their anniversary and it’s been nine months since her husband touched her intimately.Nine months since the wife tag had been feeling more like an obligation rather than a duty.And she had stopped asking why because she knew it already. But tonight she had decided to try anyway. “It’s ovulation hormone, and I need him.” That’s what she told herself.The time was 11:47pm.She spritzed the sweet fragrance he once complemented, then sat on the edge of the bed and waited.Her eyes moved to the clock and it was already 11:58pm, it would be midnight soon and the anniversary would be officially over.J
