INICIAR SESIÓNI was a streamer famous for doing random, unhinged stuff online. And now the richest woman in Bayford wanted me to seduce her son. "Make my son fall for you. I'll give you ten properties. Houses, apartments, condos." For a second, even I thought, 'Okay, this is insane.' Marianne Jensen looked at me like I was her last hope. "Please. I'm out of options. Ever since he was little, I kept pretty girls around him. When he got older, I introduced him to every type of girl possible. But he's thirty now and has never dated anyone." Then she lowered her voice. "I think something's wrong with him. Like those billionaire guys in drama shorts. Maybe he only likes weird girls from the bad side of town." I just stared at her. Wow. Appreciate that. 'Did I just meet a crazy person?' I was about to say no when she shoved ten property deeds and a photo across the table. "Go seduce my son. If you pull it off, the ten properties are yours." I looked at the deeds, then the photo, and instantly decided to help this desperate but incredible mother. Forget something being wrong with him. Even if he liked men, I'd still make him fall for me. Thanks to Marianne pulling strings behind the scenes, I became the personal assistant to Jace Jensen, Bayford's golden boy. And the first thing he said when he saw me was, "How much did my mom pay you? I'll double it. Now get out." Two months later, the job was over, but Jace stood there with red eyes, crying. "How could you use me and throw me away? I don't care. You're taking responsibility for this."
Ver másI could feel Jace's heartbeat pounding under my hand. And when I looked into those slightly watery eyes, my heart almost melted."Yeah," I said softly. "I hear it."His breath hitched. His grip tightened around my hand. "Then... what now?"I didn't answer.I just looked at him standing so close to me. Those eyes that always carried that mix of pride and awkwardness were completely focused on me now.The next second, I went up on my toes and kissed him.The second our lips touched, he panicked. Completely froze up, like he didn't even know what to do with his hands.Just when I started to pull back, one arm locked around my waist while his other hand slid behind my head, pulling me deeper into the kiss.His kiss was clumsy and way too hot.By the time we finally pulled apart, we were both breathing hard.He rested his forehead against mine, nose brushing mine, voice rough. "Sherlyn... this time, you're not flirting with me and running off."My heart was still racing. I teased
Jace didn't wait for an answer. He floored it and drove straight to the Jensen estate.He dragged me inside. Marianne stood the second she saw him, then stopped cold when she noticed me behind him."Jace? Weren't you supposed to meet the Quinton family's daughter—""I'm not going," Jace cut in. He pulled me forward. "Mom, I'm marrying her.""What?!" Marianne almost dropped her teacup. "You're marrying some nobody streamer?!""Yes!" Jace stepped in front of me. "She's the one I want!""You've lost your mind!" Marianne shook with anger. "I finally thought you were getting better! I introduced you to girls from families in our circle, and you still picked—""You don't get it!" Jace snapped. "You know why I never dated anyone all these years? Every woman you introduced me to wanted the same thing. They didn't care about me. They wanted the Jensen name. They saw my status, not me. Sherlyn's different. She's after money!"I went silent.Marianne stared at him. "And how exactly is th
After signing the contract, I got the deeds and keys to all ten properties.They weighed down my hands—and my chest too.I didn't go back to the office. I went straight home and shut my phone off.I slept for a bit. Not well, though.Every dream was Jace. His stupidly handsome face. Those wet, hurt eyes locked on me.Tsk. I seriously can't deal with that.I got up, cleaned myself up, and headed to the coffee shop I used to hang out at all the time.I'd barely sat down. My coffee wasn't even out yet when the door opened.Jace stood there.Lisa trailed behind him, eyes shifting around....Traitor.She was the only person I'd told about this place.Jace walked over and pulled out the chair across from me."Your phone's off?"I didn't answer. Just lowered my head and took a sip of water."The houses and apartments... you got them?""Mm. Thank you, Mr. Jensen." My voice stayed flat.His hand tightened against the table."...Sherlyn." His voice dropped. "Do we really not ha
[I'm satisfied with the results. Our deal is done. Come sign the contract tomorrow morning. I'll hand over the keys too.]Marianne's message came through. The ten properties were finally mine, but I didn't feel as happy as I thought I would.Sigh. Guess you really can't have it all.The next day, I went to work like usual.I organized all the files, printed the handover list, then slipped it into an envelope with my resignation letter.Once everything was ready, I stopped outside his office, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.He looked up.The second he saw the envelope in my hand, he frowned. "What's that?""Mr. Jensen." I set the envelope on his desk. "My resignation. The transition notes are inside. Everything's taken care of.""...Resignation?" His brows pulled tighter."Yes." I kept my voice calm. "The deal's over, Mr. Jensen. Thanks for playing along."He stared at me like he couldn't process the words. "...Deal? Playing along?""Yes." I lowered my gaze, no
