LOGINShe woke up to any empty bed , "panicking" she called 911 . She tried to sound freaked out but before she could say much about the matter at hand, her husband walked in . She was gravely disappointed but quickly masked it with relief . Reluctantly ,she cut the call and hugged her husband ,only for him to tense up. " who was on the phone?" He asked pulling back from the hug . She kept quiet knowing what would come next if she had said 911 . When she didn't reply ,he took her silence for an answer. He knew she was messed up but calling 911 all the time had been extreme. Annoyed he went farther away from her facing anywhere but at her . " you got to stop doing that" He clenched his jaw,really upset . " stop doing what?" ' stop wishing me dead ' he thought "Calling freaking 911 everytime I'm not around you " Silence followed. She thought he meant that as in I can't breathe without Lucas beside me kinda vibe but no... He knew. "I'm not asking you to go climb Mount Everest or jump off a cliff .I'm just asking you to grow up,Jen .You're a 22 year old act like it " He made his annoyance evident .He made no attempt to hide how pissed he was . His voice was harsh , cold and very very distant. It was always like that ,one had to get used to it She wanted to cry so bad that she had been caught but she knew he had known for a very long time now . 'Crying now would only prove him right' she thought. Finding her presence irksome, he left the room. Maybe getting married to Lucas was just crazy . Lucas was handsome ,rich ,independent. He was everything any girl wanted . everything that her father wanted for her .

"And considerin my name is the one on the invitation and soon on the marriage certificate I would suggest you check your tone" Isabella''s eyes flashed with surprise and rage. I guess she wasnt expecting me to bite back. She then looked at Lucas , waiting for him to defend her or something. But Lucas just stood there , his express void from any emotion but I did catch a slight twitch at the corner of his lips. He was enoying this . "Isabella is a family friend ."Lucas said , his tone neutral , though his eyes stayed on me. "Her father handles our South American distributions "."Then she should know better than to insult the woman about to oversee the malls those distributions sit in ." I countered. I turned my gaze back to her "Enjoy the party Isabella. The champagne is excellent maybe just maybe i
Jennifer POVThe silence at the back of the Mayback wasnt the awkward type, it was thickk , charged with the sort of energy that powers a thunderstorm.I could feel Lucas` gaze tracking the movement of my legs as I crossed them." The flowers were a bit much don`t you think?" I asked breaking the silence . I didnt look at him , keeping my eyes on the passing streetlights on my window. " My office smelt like a funeral parlor for the rest of the day" " I dont do things in small measures , Jennifer.""You should know that by now" Lucas repiled. I finally turned to look at him. He was leaning back , looking enterily too comfrotable , one arm drapped over the armrest. "Besides , I heard you had an uninvited guest. I figured the roses would help clear the air." My heart skipped. "You were spying on me at my office?" "I dont need to spy to know when a man like Jax is making a fool out of himself. Desperation has a specific scent , and it doesnt mix well with expensive perfume."My finge
The next morning I was at my office by 7:00 am. Work was my only sanctuary. Cushion publicist was buzzing with energy when I arrived, the smell of fresh coffee and the sound of keyboards clicking always calmed me down. ( well to some extent). "Jen..., you have a visitor in your office" my assistant Sarah said looking a bit nervous. "Is it a client? I dont have anything on the schedule you sent until ten" I question curiosly."He didnt have an apointment ... He just.... ummm walked in" she said while I make my way to my office .I pushed open my office doors ready to kick whoever thought they could bypass my secretary. But stopped dead on my tracks.Jax was sitting In my chair, his head in his hands. He looked terrible,hair messy and eyes bloodshot red . When he looked up and saw me , he stood up Instantly . "Jen, ...please. I havent slept for days we need to talk about Sophia. It was`nt what it looked like I promise " I stood my ground , my hand still on the door handle. "You tol
I looked up at him, with my heart hammering against my ribs ."Do`nt tell me you already falling for me?" he says chuckling to my face.That chuckle set my stomach on fire. As I stare at the Natalie I see her blushing towards the flooring. To save myself from total embaressment I say whatever comes to mind first. "In your dreams Lombardi" and I roll my eyes . I raised up my hands and shoved him away ."And for the record you are the one who ran into me" I snapped."Some of us value personal space" I add."I live here and Conti people look where they are going when they are tresspassing in my hallway" he says whislt staring into my eyes."Well I`m not a tresspasser I`m a guest and not to mention your father practically begged me to be here " I glared back, locking eyes with his icy stare. I felt the Tripple B energy runnin through' my veins (bad boss bitch) I refused to let his arrogance get the better of me. He took me in with a slow , deliberate look that made this silk feel lik
