As Sean helped her down from the table, Jenna's legs felt very weak and she almost fell over. He quickly picked her up, walked to the door, picked up the key Esther had thrown through the crack under the door, opened it, looked around to make sure no one was there, then carried her up to the third floor and into guest room.As he entered the bathroom, he set her down and quickly took off her dress.Jenna stopped him. "What are you doing?" She thought he was going to fuck her again."Be nice, take off your clothes so you don't get your dress wet." After he took off her clothes he asked, "Do I have to help you or will you do it yourself?""Myself!" said Jenna hastily.He nodded, looked at her, then left the bathroom carrying her dress. Throwing her dreas on the bed, Sean picked up his phone and called someone. "Come to the guest room for a moment."A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. After three knocks, someone opened the door and entered. It was Esther.Esther looked an
Hearing what Jenna said, Esther didn't really know what to do.The party that night was mostly young people, so the elders just greeted each other and made small talk, then left. Esther stood there for a few minutes, then Sean returned. When her brother saw her, he raised his eyebrows as if to ask about Jenna. Esther just smiled and said nothing to him, continuing to talk to the guests she was with.Half an hour later, after saying goodbye to the guests, Veronica said, "I'm going back to my room first, so please have fun. If there are any problems, contact the organizer.""Okay, Mom." Esther readily agreed.As Veronica walked up the stairs, Sean looked directly at his sister.Esther shrugged. "I'm dealing with some other classmates and she disappears in the blink of an eye!"Sean gave her a sharp look. Charlotte was here, and if they met, Charlotte would probably be suspicious.The two turned and walked toward the pool. Almost all of the dancing guests looked tired, and many of them
"Jenna, why are you here? My brother went looking for you, but you disappeared. Do you want to be punished?" She figured as long as she said it was her brother's orders, Jenna couldn't refuse.Unexpectedly, it didn't work this time and Jenna refused to obey.Esther was confused and looked back at Sean, Mia and Charlotte. To be honest, she still didn't know who Charlotte was. At first she wanted to ask Sean, but Sean didn't seem to want to talk about it.Esther hesitated for a moment and didn't know if she should drag Jenna there or not. "Are you sure it's better to be punished than to come to him?" She asked.Jenna struggled because Esther held her arm so tightly, and when Esther let her go, Jenna fell to the floor from inertia."Jenna!" Esther cried, running to help her, "Are you okay?" Charlotte heard the voice and turned around. Jenna? Did she hear wrong?Sean frowned, walked over and ignored Jenna in front of everyone as if he didn't know her. He asked Esther, "What happened?"Es
From Esther's party, Jenna couldn't bear to stay there anymore and called Sarah to have the driver prepare a car for her.She had to get home, otherwise she would just be a shameless loser who saw Sean with his girlfriend and family."Sarah, take me to my aunt's house," Jenna said tearfully in the car."But...Miss, did you ask Mr. Sean for permission?" Sarah clearly hesitated."There was no time. My aunt is alone and she has a relapse of her illness." Jenna lied. It was true that her aunt was now divorced from her husband and lived alone, but about her illness was quiet, Jenna lied.Sarah didn't dare take her away without Sean's permission, so she pulled out her cell phone and made a call.Still in the middle of the party, one of the calls Sean never ignored was Sarah's, because it had to be about Jenna."Sir, Miss Jenna... she wants to go to her aunt's house. Shall I take her?" Sarah asked.Sean walked out and said, "Where is she?""She's crying."Sean narrowed his eyes: "What happe
* * *In the evening, Jenna and her aunt watched TV together, then said good night and went to their respective rooms.This simple two-bedroom apartment was the one Jenna had rented to Karen with the money Sean had given her.Meanwhile, back at his house, Sean was pacing barefoot in his room, feeling uncontrollably irritated.Jenna had already said 'good night', but Sean just couldn't sleep. She had just left last night, and he already missed her terribly.And at Karen's house, Jenna had just showered and was getting ready for bed when her cell phone screen flickered and Sean called.It was twelve o'clock at night and Karen was already asleep. Jenna picked up the phone and lowered her voice, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you..." "Come to my company tomorrow morning," Sean said, interrupting Jenna's words.Jenna was stunned for a moment and asked stammering: "For... what?"Sean stood in front of his bedroom window and said the word: "I want you! You know what I mean, right?"J
Sean immediately wrapped his arms around Jenna's petite body and buried his face in her neck. Jenna couldn't help but sigh softly, then wrap her arms around Sean's back."I told you never to contradict me again. I don't like it when you become a defiant girl.""I'm sorry," Jenna said helplessly and tried to stroke Sean's broad back. She really wanted to know if he didn't want Charlotte the way he wanted her? And she really wanted to ask him why he had bothered to come to her and make love in the car instead of coming to his girlfriend and doing it in a cozy bed?Sean let go of their embrace and kissed Jenna on the lips. He sucked, licked and bit gently, then used one of his hands to squeeze Jenna's ass.Jenna eventually returned the kiss. Sean went down to her neck again and gave her a few kisses. He tried not to leave any reddish marks.He used his left hand to remove Jenna's shirt. Jenna's clothes immediately rolled up to reveal her firm breasts."Sean, are you sure you want to do
"Good girl, you can go now," Sean said after straightening his clothes.Jenna carefully put her clothes back on and stared at the man in front of her under the dim streetlights. She suddenly felt a little dizzy. When Jenna opened the door, Sean said, "I'll drive you."Jenna wanted to say that wasn't necessary, but decided against it. "Okay," she replied shortly.Sean got out of the car as well and together they walked to the entrance of the apartment."I'm going upstairs," Jenna said quietly, then turned and walked out into the hallway.Sean stood there for a long time and finally took a deep breath, turned and walked back. "Looks like I was pretty rough earlier," he thought to himself as he opened the car door and started it, then drove away.* * *Being so tired, Jenna unconsciously slept until noon, eating only a little to fill her stomach.Then she washed the clothes she had used the day before and sat on the sofa in a daze. Last night, when Sean had suddenly come over, she h
Sean reached over and pinched Jenna's chin. "Your aunt isn't sick, is she? How dare you lie to me!" he said, sounding annoyed, but strangely there was no sign of anger on his face. "Why are you avoiding me all of a sudden?"Jenna knew Sean must have been investigating this as well. "I... I didn't mean to," she said, "the time Karen called and said she had a headache, I thought it was a relapse, but it wasn't too bad."Sean looked at her, wondering if what she said was true or not, and thought Jenna had changed too much lately. Yesterday he saw that her eyelids were puffy as if she'd been crying. Did something happen? The thing is, this girl wouldn't say what happened to her.Jenna got up, and Sean just noticed her slightly unusual as she walked to the kitchen. "You want some coffee?" She asked."No." Sean sighed helplessly, then waved his hand at her: "Come here!"Jenna just drank the water she took from the dining room table, hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over and begged
“Emily! She’s in the hospital!” Valeria gasped, her voice cracking. Her face went pale, and panic clouded her eyes. Ben froze for a second before grabbing her arm. “Let’s go,” he said firmly, pulling her toward the elevator. “Sorry, this is urgent. I’ll make it up to you another time. We have to go,” he told Esther and Carter over his shoulder. “It’s fine, go,” they said in unison, both stepping aside. Valeria’s fingers trembled as she jabbed the elevator button. When the doors slid open, they stepped inside. Just before they closed again, Valeria caught sight of Sean at the end of the hallway. His expression was unreadable—confused, maybe concerned. Only a second passed before the elevator doors sealed shut, cutting her off from him. A few minutes later, Valeria sat in the passenger seat of Ben’s car. Her hands fidgeted in her lap, heart pounding too hard for her to breathe right. It was a cold night. Ben glanced at her, trying to offer a sense of calm. “She’s going to be okay
“Hey!” Valeria greeted the handsome man in front of her with a friendly smile. He looked frozen. His eyes were on her, but his mind was clearly somewhere else. There was something in his gaze a mix of worry and fear that made Valeria uneasy. “What’s going on with you?” Valeria asked. “Jenna…” another man walked up and called out to her. Why does everyone keep calling me that? Valeria thought, frustrated. She let out a long sigh and rolled her eyes. “Sorry, but I’m Valeria, not Jenna,” she said sharply. “Who even is this Jenna, anyway?” Her head was starting to ache. She pressed her temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain that was starting to dig in. “Hey, it’s okay…” Ben whispered softly, his voice calm and soothing. His warm hand wrapped around her shoulder. “Take a deep breath, alright?” Valeria closed her eyes, trying to follow his instruction. She could feel the softness of the couch beneath her, the only stable thing in the middle of her emotional chaos. “Okay, sorry.
Jenna looked so innocent and beautiful that night. Her purple dress hugged her body gracefully, making her look like a teenager who had wandered into an adult party. Sean couldn’t take his eyes off her. He stood beside his mother, who was deep in conversation with an old friend, but he wasn’t paying attention at all. His eyes were fixed solely on Jenna. His jaw clenched when he saw a man's hand around Jenna’s waist. Without realizing it, his fists balled up. The urge to walk over and yank that hand away was strong, but he held back and just took a deep breath. When the hand finally dropped away, he exhaled too. A faint smile returned to his face. “What’s wrong?” Mrs. Veronica’s voice snapped him out of it. He quickly turned to her, trying to fix his expression. “Nothing!” he said quickly, not even sure what she was asking about. Mrs. Veronica raised an eyebrow, suspicious. But before she could press him further, Sean mumbled an apology and walked off toward the minibar. Away fro
Valeria muttered under her breath as another taxi zoomed past without even slowing down. “I seriously need to buy a car.” She’d been standing there for almost an hour, yet not a single empty cab had stopped.The cold breeze made her shiver. She hugged herself, regretting not wearing a sweater or something warmer. Her simple purple dress with black floral patterns looked cute, sure—but it was definitely not made for weather like this.“Maybe I shouldn’t have come at all,” she mumbled, staring down the empty street in frustration.She let out a long sigh. The baby shower still had to be attended, even if Ben had said she didn’t need to. Emily said the dress looked great on her, and Valeria couldn’t resist the idea of seeing that adorable little baby again.Suddenly, a car stopped right in front of her. She flinched, heart nearly leaping out of her chest.“Ben?” she gasped, placing a hand over her heart. “You almost gave me a heart attack!”Ben rolled down the window. “You need a ride, o
“Bye, kids!” Valeria called out, waving at them as they ran toward the school gate. They paused to wave back before continuing on. Once they were safely inside, Ben started the car and they headed toward the café. “You know, you don’t have to do this every day. I can get my own car,” Valeria said, staring out the window, fully aware of Ben glancing her way as they stopped at a red light. “So I’m supposed to risk losing you again? No thanks,” Ben replied as the light turned green and they drove on. This time, Valeria turned to look at him. “Come on, Ben. That happened months ago. I’m fine now, totally capable of driving myself. You can’t babysit me forever, you know?” she added, turning her gaze back outside. “I can, and I will,” Ben said firmly. The rest of the ride was quiet. When they reached the café, Valeria got out without saying a word and headed straight inside. He didn’t seriously expect her to never drive again, right? She let out a deep sigh, dropped her bag behind t
Ben walked up to her, smiling. She smiled back until she bumped into someone. She looked down and found the same little boy from the cafe. “Oh, it’s you!” she said, crouching. “Mom?” Oliver said with a big smile. The word made Valeria uncomfortable, and she glanced at everyone—especially Alexa. Alexa was right there, so why was the kid calling her “mom”? “Oh! You live here?” Valeria asked. The boy grinned, his missing front teeth making him look even cuter. “I went to Colorado with my dad,” he said simply. Valeria’s eyes moved to the little girl next to him. “And this?” “I’m Oliver,” the boy said with a proud smile. “And this is my sister, Olivia.” Valeria chuckled, remembering how adorable Emily and Ethan could be. “You can call me Val,” she told them. Oliver’s eyes shifted to Ben, who was standing beside her. “This is Ben,” Valeria added. Ben crouched beside her with a mock scowl. “Hey, bro,” he said, then winked at Valeria, making her heart race. Ben chuck
A woman walked, pulling her jacket tighter around her small frame as the cold wind hit her. The click of her boots on the floor was the only sound echoing through the space. She still couldn’t believe her eyes when she found out Jenna was alive. A year ago, she had felt so relieved, thinking she’d finally gotten rid of her. But now the girl was back— that annoying little thing who once clung to their lives like a parasite. The woman turned sharply left and stepped into a dark alley. The path was narrow barely enough for one person to walk through without brushing against the brick walls on both sides. The alley was long and pitch black, forcing her to squint and step carefully. Part of her grumbled at how she couldn’t see a thing, but another part was glad the darkness was hiding whatever creepy crawlies were on those walls. She shivered and almost screamed when something scurried across her $26,000 boots. A flickering bulb at the end of the alley gave her a target, and she ran to
Valeria walked into her apartment, struggling to carry Emily and Ethan who were fast asleep in her arms. "Thanks so much, Mrs. Smith," she said with a grateful smile to her neighbor, a woman in her mid-fifties who lived alone. "It's no problem, dear. You look a little busy," Mrs. Smith said, nodding toward the two kids. Valeria chuckled softly and nodded. "Good night, sweetie. If you need anything, just knock. I'm only a few steps away," Mrs. Smith added with a wink before heading back to her place. That was just the kind of woman. Mrs. Smith was the type who’d open the door with a baseball bat raised high, day or night, always cautious. But deep down, she was the kindest, most caring soul. Valeria smiled, remembering the night Mrs. Smith almost whacked Ben with her bat because Valeria had been late answering the door after a shower, and forgetful Ben had left his keys. Mrs. Smith thought he was a thief. Carefully, Valeria tucked Emily and Ethan into their beds. "Good
When she opened her eyes, she found Ben leaning against the balcony wall, arms crossed, smiling at her so softly it made her blush. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Ben chuckled, walked over, and gently lifted her chin, kissing the tip of her nose. "Because you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen... after those two little monsters," he teased just as Emily and Ethan’s voices called out his name. Ben groaned while Valeria tried not to laugh. Ever since Ben had confessed his feelings, he never missed a chance to shower Valeria with affection. They spent the morning playing, filling the apartment with laughter that felt like music to Valeria’s ears. "Alright, kids, time to brush your teeth," she said, herding them away as she carried dirty plates to the kitchen. As she started prepping food for the kids, Ben leaned casually against the counter. "Who was on the phone?" Valeria asked. "Mr. Anderson. He invited us to dinner with hi
