Jean Verodine
“A simple wedding?” Lexy looked at me like I grow 2 heads.
“Yes, Lexy.” I nodded as I opened my Vogue magazine while eating my favorite chocolate bread.
“Jean, you will only get married once. Why don’t you have a glamourous wedding?” That statement made me turn to her.
“We don’t love each other and this is all a fake wedding. He wants his heritage and I want my safety.” I rolled my eyes and continued to read.
“Being safe in his arms?” She raised her eyebrows.
“Yeah.” I nodded weakly and she suddenly snapped her finger to get my attention.
“Don’t tell me that you’re falling for him, Jean?” That made me look at her.
“No, I’m already numb for love, last time I love someone it turned out.. so.. you know.” I can’t help but put down my magazine and sighed.
“I know you were hurted badly in the past but life must go on, you can’t stuck in one place.” She said and I chuckled.
“Lexy, I don’t want to get hurt again. Besides, Blake likes to sleep around with other women and maybe before 3 months he would get tired with me and divorce me right away.” I said since I know the consequence for it. I know it will hurt me but this is the path that I take.
“Jean, that’s 3 months away, you’ll never know what will happen!”
“I like him, I admit that but I don’t think I will love him, Lexy.” I admitted my feelings to her and she smiled widely.
“Do you realize that whenever we talk about Blake, your face glows up?” I shook my head and she chuckled.
“You like him more than you know it, Jean.”
“Will was in Miami.”
“What?”
“Blake went to the Apple store, I walked out and palnned to go to a cupcake store across the street but he was there, Lexy. He looked at me with his killing eyes and I walked backwards, good thing that Blake was behind me.”
“You still got nightmares?” She asked.
“Yeah until today but when I was in Miami, Blake caught me having one and he quickly woke me up.”
“Did you tell him about your past?” She asked and I shook my head.
“You need to tell him, Jean. He needs to know and maybe he can help you.” I looked at her and shook my head.
“If I tell him, I know what will his action be, Lexy. I want Blake out from this. He doesn’t need to know, I’m afraid that jerk will do something to him.”
“By deciding to marry him, it means you already drag him into this, Jean. You need to tell him since your wedding is in 6 days.” Lexy held my hand and I can’t help but think about it.
“Lexy, I.. I don’t think I want Blake to know about this. He has a long way in his life and I don’t know about mine. What if Will decides to kill me?”
“Don’t say something like that you idiot!” Lexy glared at me.
“He’s William Merion, he can do anything. He even knew I was in Miami!” I sighed
“Don’t say stupid things like he will kill you and stuff!” She hissed and looked at me in fear.
“I made a mistake in the past and this is the consequence that I need to take.”
“Listen to me Lexy, whatever happens to me, don’t tell Blake okay? I don’t want to drag him into all this mess.”
“Why are you saying things like this? It’s not like you’re going to die tomorrow! Don’t scare the hell out of me, Jean.” I smiled at her and she glared at me.
“We never know, Alexis Sierra.”
“You have to tell Blake, Jean.” Lexy said.
“I want ice cream, let’s go get one!” I changed the topic.
“You have an appointment to try on your wedding dress today.”
“So?”
“We have to get there in 10 minutes!” She rolled her eyes and walked to the mirror to check her make-up. I stook up from my bed and took my phone. There a text from Blake that makes me smile.
Blake :
What are you doing beautiful? Don’t forget your appointment at 1.30
“What are you smiling about?” Lexy asked and I put my phone inside my bag.
“Nothing.” I walked away from her and went out. I got into my car and sar on the driver seat first. I took my phone out to reply Blake.
Me :
I’m going Blake, don’t worry about it. Still working?
I replied him and in seconds he called me.
“Hey baby.” He said as I picked the call up.
“Hey, what’s up?” I asked wondering why he’s calling me.
“You going there?” He asked.
“Not yet, waiting for Lexy now, Is everything okay?” He never calls me so I’m a little bit suspicious.
“Yeah.. uhmm.. I’m just..” He kept silent and I was waiting for him to continue his sentence.
“You okay?”
“I just want to hear your voice.” That made me chuckle and I smiled widely.
“When will you go home?”
“Around 6, why?”
“What is your favorite food?”
“Anything.”
“Is pasta, okay?”
“That’ll be good.”
“Okay then, see you-“
“Jean” He cut me.
“Hmm?” I mumbled but he kept silent.
“Blake, you okay?”
“I miss you.” That got my breath hitch, I can’t hide my happiness.
“Be home at 6, Blake.” I hung up at the same time when Lexy got into the car. I turned to her and she looked at me weidly.
“What’s with that face?” She asked.
“What?” I asked and she flicked my forehead.
“Hey! What was that for?” I protested.
“You’re smiling weirdly, is it Blake?”
“No.”
“What a liar!”
“I’m not.”
“Better try acting next time so you can put a fake expression.”
“You’re annoying!”
“Let’s go get the wedding dress, Jean, or you want to wear a night lingerie on your wedding day.” She smirked and I looked at her disbelief. I started the car and drove to the wedding dress shop.
Blake Coster“I’ll take the LA deal.” I said to Aaron.“Then I’ll take the UK one, how about you Sebastian?” Aaron asked Sebastian who was looking at the files.“I’ll take the France one.” He said.“Are you sure about the shipping deal?” Aaron asked me.“Yeah, why?” I asked him.“I don’t trust the person Blake, last time he had a deal with Kenneth, he ended up losing 5 million dollar. He might be dealing right with the others but he messed up with Ken once
Jean Verodine“So what do you want to watch?” Blake asked me as we arrived at the cinema.“Action movies?” I said as I scanned on the list.“You want to watch to action movies?” He asked and I turned to him nodding.“What? What’s the matter with that?”“I thought you like romance movies.” “I like that too but I prefer to watch that kind of movie alone, Blake. Watching romance movies need sometime alone so I can cry my butt all out without someone get annoy with my sobbings
Blake CosterI slide my hand around me to find someone that I always want to see the first thing in the morning. I felt nothing and I immediately opened my eyes. I turned around to see Jean was nowhere to be found.I got out from the room and ran downstairs and again nothing.“Jean” I called because she might be somewhere around the house right?“Good morning, sir. Jean already left to work.” Romina said and I can’t help but to feel disappointed that she didn’t wake me up to say goodbye.“Okay.” I said and went back upstairs to get ready for work. I checked my ph
Blake Coster“Let’s check about it first.” Alexis said as she walked to her apartment.“Oh damn it!” I ran my hands through my hair.Alexis walked to her dining room and picked up a small box. She quickly opened it and her eyes widen.“What?”“She left her apartement keys and a couple of..”“Of what?” I was furious and I took the envelopes from her hands. “Letters” I completed her sentence.
Jean Verodine“Hello my baby girl, I miss you so much.” William hugged me and kissed my lips but I quickly pushed him away from me.“I want you to keep your promise, Will.” I looked at him seriously.“I’m a man with my words honey.” He winked and held my hand. “Never lay your fingers on him, Will.” I held his arm because I want to make sure that he’ll keep his words.“Promise, Jean.” He kissed my cheek and he pulled me inside the airport with all his guards. Suddenly he took my bag away from me. He opened it and took my phone. He threw it
Blake Coster“Blake, listen to me!” Ken bursted t=at me and I turned to him.“What?” I snapped.“Calm down! You’re acting like a bull right now!” I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. “We don’t know if she’s okay or not!” I glared at him.“My men are on their move to track that guy, you need to chill! We’re on a freaking plane.” He said and I sighed.“Do we have to go to her parent’s house?” Alexis broke the silence and I turned
Jean Verodine“Jean!” William called me and I ran to him before he gets mad.“What?” I asked with a cold tone.He sat on a big chair and he gave me his arrogant look. He smirked and gestured me to get closer to him. I didn’t walk to him a bit because I have a bad feelings about this.“Come here, beautiful.” He said and I shook my head.“Come on baby, come here and give me a kiss.” He said with his evil tone. He looked at me from head to toe, I know he’s already undressing me inside his head.
Blake Coster“I know.” Ken said to someone through the phone.“Blake!” Sebastian called me and I turned to him.“What?”“Why is this girl so important to you? I mean she’s just a-““I like her, Cesborn.” I cut him and he looked at me seriously.Suddenly I heard a phone ringing and Alexis ran towards it since it’s her phone. She looked at it and walked out from the room.“Congratulations man, you just e
