Built in Ruins Chapter 9
Jennifers POV"The little publisher has a name" I said, my voice as sharp as the diamonds around my neck. I stepped out of Lucas's hold, not to retreat , but to face this bitch head on. "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

Romano slowed his pace as we approached the massive mahogany front doors, waiting for me to catch up. I knew the drill: the moment those doors opened, we were no longer a fractured father and daughter; we were the Conti dynasty—united, powerful, and perfectly composed.We were greeted at the entrance by Christopher Lombardi and his wife, Madeline. Christopher looked every bit the patriarch, while Madeline was radiant in a floor-length gold gown that shimmered like liquid sun under the foyer lights."Welcome, welcome to our home," she said, her smile warm and practiced."Thank you for the invitation, Christopher," Romano replied, his voice smoothing into the charming baritone he reserved for business allies.As they led us toward the main lounge, I couldn't help but admire the place . I hadn't been here in years, but the house still breathed old money. A massive crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting dancing, fractured light across the marble floors. It was stunning, yet it

I stare at the satin black dress that had been hugging my curves .I felt amazing looking in the mirror ,but only one thing had been missing..." Dammmmn you look fineeeee ,girl!"Alex screams via Skype .She whistles ,eyeing me like a teenage boyLaughing I roll my eyes. We'll I do know I look good. But having someone telling you you looked fine made me feel alive.Alexandra Monroe had been my only friend since childhood .We bonded like sisters and gossiped like crazy for entertainment.We went to the same collage but she pursued a degree in Business Management. She helped me get through certain situations in life ,one of the being laughing off my problems like a maniac or gossiping about the people who don't like us.One thing about Alex was that she loved self care(yoga/ exotic getaways ) and she had been giving herself just that ... the only problem was she had been all the way in Bahamas without me . Off to see some popular Hot Yoga instructor.Only she could keep me from losing
