Contractually Yours, Brother-in-law. EPISODE TWENTY FIVE.
EPISODE TWENTY FIVE.JENNA'S POV.My mouth starts to taste bitter after parting them so I can return his greetings but I couldn't say a word.My eyes lingered on him for a moment and i moved my hands backwards, showing my hostility to him.I don't know anything about Lana's relationships in the past, all I knew is that she had many of the men at her bay, but never introduced them to me."What are you doing here?"I asked, eyeing him from head to toe."I'm here to meet your Dad, he's planning to close Lana's case at the station but I want to convince him to hold onto it a little bit longer." He answered in a slight mischievous tone.God, how could someone be this calculating? He knew I wasn't any interested in me even when he came here the last time but now that he has a chance for us to talk, he's pitching Lana to me.And good for him, my interest is piqued now."What? Lana's case? There's an investigation going on?" "Yes, I'm still suspicious about the manner of her death, she was fu

EPISODE TWENTY FOUR.RYKER'S POV.Walking out of that door last night is one of the biggest regrets of my life. Jenna was so ready to give it her all without holding back but I chose to be a coward.Fuck, I'm such a stupid person. Throughout the night, while Arlene was in my arms, sleeping peacefully, I couldn't take my mind away from it, sleep eluded me until the early hours of the morning.I got up from the bed tiredly to prepare breakfast, even though, today will decide the future of my company and how the board would start to treat me from now on after my scandal with Jenna, I'm still not feeling amped up about it.And it disappoints the hell out of me.I have barely dished Arlene's food when Jenna came downstairs, bonding with her.What drives me crazy the most is how Arlene always leaves her speechless. I hope there's a way I can stop her from confusing Jenna more by telling her how horrible Lana was, but I can't, maybe this is her way of healing and getting over the past traum
Contractually Yours, Brother-in-law. EPISODE TWENTY THREE.
EPISODE TWENTY THREE.JENNA'S POV."Because you don't know how long I've been curious about you, Jenna." He groaned forcefully, as if he was holding back on his words and walked out with the files in his hands.I sat there, gobsmacked about the whole thing that just went off.How did I not feel any guilt when he was doing all of those things to me?Palming my face in embarrassment, I sink myself back to the bed, hoping sleep overcomes me so all these feelings would elude me.Thankfully, I slept off and didn't wake up until the morning sun was creeping into the room.Ryker probably didn't spend the night in the room, maybe he's already unattracted to me.Or he's disappointed that I lost my words around him, how he was so unfazed by the whole activity disappointed me so bad.I guess we don't feel the same around each other.Grumpily, I dragged myself to the bathroom to have my bath and get dressed, Rosie sent me a text last night, telling me to bring some documents which are at my paren
Contractually Yours, Brother-in-law. EPISODE TWENTY TWO.
EPISODE TWENTY TWO.JENNA'S POV.Getting to the room, I slumped on the bed, exhausted. I hate the turn out of this whole thing, things shouldn't be this complicated, I don't even know what to believe again, Lana was such a good person to me, was it all cascade or I'm still being manipulated by Ryker and his cohorts?Speaking of the devil, he walked in frantically, not sparing me a glance with a frown on his face, obviously pissed by something, or maybe someone.He started rummaging the desk, looking through the files."Are you looking for something?" I asked carefully, trying not to annoy him although Ryker is someone that wouldn't do that–transferring aggression."Not really, I just received news from Michael." He replied, still checking the files.I walked up to him and collected them from him, as if I knew whatever was going on with him.I scanned through the files, but still couldn't grasp the errors or cue."Alright, why not just calm down and talk?"Ryker sighed heavily before d

EPISODE TWENTY ONE.RYKER'S POV."Goddamnit! I told you not to tell her anything about that." I cursed at Michael through the phone."What was I supposed to do? She was annoying as hell. Why did she think that Lana was the best person to ever exist?" He huffed. I almost laughed at his ignorance, he didn't know what he just caused and he dared to laugh about it.Lana died not too long ago and telling Jenna how horrible her sister was won't help her heal."You don't understand, Michael." I grunted."I think I do, you don't want to hurt her feelings because of what you have for her.""Don't piss me off." With a finalized tone, I cut the call angrily, squeezing the phone in between my large palms in frustration.This is going to set us back a million miles from the progress we made in the past few weeks.Maybe I should have told her about everything before she left, Michael jam talks Everytime, telling Jenna about everything was one of my greatest fears but after he assured me that he wo
Contractually Yours, Brother-in-law. CHAPTER TWENTY.
EPISODE TWENTY.JENNA'S POV.I stood there, totally gone and deeply soaked in Ryker's words. Him telling me that he doesn't hate me, or saying I had the wrong assumption.Come to think of it, Ryker never told me he hates me, he just loves to taunt the hell out of me and make me mad.Pressing my lips together, I took a few steps back, and nodded awkwardly."Okay then." I mumbled, not sparing him a glance.Ryker lingered around for a while until Arlene told him to go back to work which was in the room because she wanted to take a nap.I excused myself from her as well so I can prepare for my date.After checking through the dresses again, I finally picked a pink dress with dramatic cuts at the edges, it's showing a little of my cleavages and highlighting my long legs which is literally the only charming feature in my body.Luckily, I managed to grab a matching pair of heels to complement the dress, after packing my hair up in a tight bun, leaving the edges dolled and pressed to my skull
