Chapter 37 Janice POV I checked myself out in the reflection one more time and tucked my hair behind my ear before walking out of the room, and heading downstairs. The short blue gown fitted me perfectly as if it was tailored for me, and packing my hair up in a ponytail and leaving some strands was a breathtaking style I loved when I saw it. I spot him sitting in the dining room as I descended the staircase. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?" I asked him as I pulled out the chair and sat down. "Hmm. Morning," He replied to me as he raised his gaze to look at me, smiling at me. "Did you sleep well?" He asked, and I scoffed. "What if I say no, hmm?" I rolled my eyes, and he scoffed. "Why? What happened?" "I think you should ask yourself. How could I have slept well when you left me to sleep in there all by myself?" I rolled my eyes at him, and he slowly nodded. "The meeting has been postponed till tomorrow. Do you have anything in mind you want to do? Just take this as your t

Chapter 38 Connor POV Three days later I thought we were going to spend just three days here, but it has been four good days and there was no hope of us leaving anytime soon. The appointment I came for kept getting postponed. Janice has been ignoring me for the last three days, and I guess it's because of what happened a few days ago. I had no idea why she was suddenly being like that, why she wanted us to start having sex, but one thing I was sure of is that I won't agree to do that with her for her sake. She would end up hating giving this a chance and she may end up hating me for the rest of her life if she gets infected. You wouldn't want to know the infection I'm talking about, trust me. It was a beautiful sunny morning, and watching the beautiful blooming flowers in the garden felt so good and relaxing. I checked my phone and saw the number Claire used to call me the other day, the urge to call her and hear her voice, but I felt keeping my distance from her and the family

Chapter 39 Janice POV I desperately wanted him to have me, but too bad that when he finally decided to, I was on my period. Last night felt like a long night, but thankfully it was morning now and a new day to do nothing. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen when I tried to stand up from the bed, so I lay down hoping for it to relieve me first, but it only got worse. "Ugh! Not again, please," I whined, clutching my abdomen and squeezing my face painfully. Cramps is one of the sickness I hate the most, and something that affects me often on my period days. It's driving me nuts. I tried to leave the bed again, but I couldn't move a finger, so I just remained there. It felt like my abdomen was being cut with a sharp knife, and the pain only got worsened with each second that clicked. The door opened and Connor who had gone outside earlier for a morning workout, walked inside. I heard his footsteps stopped. "Are you ok? Why are you still in bed? It's unlike you," He asked, but I could

Chapter 40 Connor POV "Where are you going to?" Janice asked as she followed me downstairs. "Just stepping out a bit. I'll be back late, so don't wait up for me," I replied to her after I checked my wristwatch, and she scoffed. "Are you kidding me? It's past 7pm, where the hell are you going at this time of the night?" She shrieked like a possessive wife, and I felt like I was going to lose my mind if she would continue like this. "I'll see you," I said to her and headed toward the door, leaving the house even as she kept yelling after me. I drove off and headed straight to the clubhouse. It has been a while since I last went clubbing, and it wouldn't hurt to try it out today, yeah? I soon got to the clubhouse and parked at the garage, and the smell of alcohol and the horrible smell of cigarettes welcomed me as soon as I walked inside the thick dark crowded club with dim light. I could barely see anyone, and the ear-piercing buzzing music was soothing and at the same time dist

Chapter 41 Connor Hughes "The fuck! What is she doing here?" I mumbled and scoffed unbelievably. I told her before I left that she shouldn't wait up for me, so how come she's still here? "Is she crazy or what?" Again, I mumbled and shook my head before I went to wake her up. "Where are you coming from?" Her voice was filled with rage as soon as she was sober, and I had to ask myself if she wasn't the same person who was sleeping deeply here just now. "I went out. Why are you here? I told you I was going to come back home late. Why did you wait up for me?" I was a bit mad at her for being this stupid. "Where the hell did you go to and didn't even think that it was time for you to come back home?" She snapped at me, her eyes filled with rage, and I flinched. "Hey! What's up with that..." "You went to hang out with your numerous flings, yeah?" She scoffed and bit her bottom lip. Every action 9f hers confuses me so much and always leaves me asking myself several questions. "Jani

Chapter 42 Claire POV Sitting outside in the middle of the night with the cold piercing through my bones, birds chirping and making terrifying noise, I couldn't help the tears that streamed down my cheeks. It felt like the last days of my life, or maybe I was already dead and alone in my grave. I know they said the grave is more terrifying, but at the moment, I didn't think there would be anything more terrifying than staying alone at home in the whole dark house without a single light. My phone beeped, and I checked to see that it was a warning that it was going to power off. At that moment, the only light that had been helping me went off immediately as my phone switched off, leaving me in thick darkness. I couldn't even get a glimpse of my surroundings. Yesterday, my parents left in the morning on a business trip, leaving me alone here. Well, they asked me to move in with my Mom's friend, but I refused so they were left with no choice but to leave me behind. Maybe they thought w

Chapter 43 Khan POV 'You are not my style' Those words won't stop replaying in my head and I couldn't help the scoff that would always tear through my throat each time I recalled it. I glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and she was staring out of the car while resting her head on the headrest. "Hey! Are you hungry? Should I get you something to eat on our way?" I broke the silence, but she ignored me. "I'm talking to you..." "I'm not hungry," She replied to me flatly without even sparing me a glance, and I shook my head unbelievably. Here I was, crushing on this little girl little did I know that she was this rude. We finally arrived at my apartment, and I pulled over at the parking lot. Aside from working as Connor's secretary, I also managed one of the most popular restaurants in town, so I can only say that I'm well-to-do. I just enjoy working under someone, that's why I had to work as my best friend's secretary. She walked ahead of me as soon as she stepped out o

Chapter 44 Janice POV "Fuck!" I cursed and finally sat up on the bed after tossing endlessly. It felt like I was going to lose my mind, or who knows, maybe I must've lost it already. Why the fuck was I acting like that if I wasn't crazy for a moment? Thinking about all the shits I said to him back there, I could only conclude that maybe I was high on something. I couldn't have said those words in my right frame of mind, right? "I'm not that kind of a cheap and crazy girl. Janice is worth everything," I reminded myself even though I acted like a maniac around him earlier. 'I told you I won't ever sleep with you' I scoffed unbelievably as those words replayed in my head. No matter the angle I looked at it from, I wouldn't stop seeing it as an insult. Does he think that I'm one ugly bitch he can't afford to go to bed with? "Ugh! Forget it. If he said that he can't sleep with you, maybe you are too good for him. What am I saying? You are too fucking good for him, and not maybe," I tr
