Se connecterGLEN'S POV My fingers trailed my lips, reminiscing about the kiss, "so soft," I muttered softly heading straight to my room, I slowly opened the door as my whole body froze at the scene. I quickly turned, closing the door immediately, "Heather, can you please wear something?" I said calmly, she was wearing lingerie and that drove chills down my spine. "Can you turn to face me?" She said in a slutty tone that did not sit too well with me. I inhaled sharply, refusing to turn, "Heather, it's either you wear something or I'll send you out of my room." "GLEN!" She roared with anger then breathed out slowly, "we are soon to be married in two weeks, why can't you just touch me? Do I scare you?" Her last words became very soft. I remained silent, she groaned loudly getting infuriated until she got down from the bed, I felt her footsteps approaching me slowly, I quickly moved to the side. Heather stood in front of me, this time she wore a robe, she slowly trailed her fingers on my body s
Glen stared at me for a while, different emotions evident in his eyes, it felt like he had a lot to say but couldn't find the words."Deal or no deal," I said softly pointing to the door, his breath became haggard, slowly he took a deep breath, exhaling softly then closed his eyes, "fine... we have a deal."I wore a quick fake smile of acknowledgement turned slightly but he pulled me back to him, "I also have my condition," he looked at me with a cocky smile.I pushed him off but he held me even more closer this time, tugging a small strand of hair behind my ear trailing his gaze back to my eyes, "everything you have with Jake ends today.""What... No!" He pressed my back deeply, his eyes darkened a bit, "if you can have your conditions then I can certainly have mine," his voice was stern, there was no room for argument."Fine..." I said in a muffled voice, pushing him off, he chuckled softly then raised his hands up retreating a bit then he lowered himself to his level, his lips draw
After Jake and I had a mini outing, which was definitely fun, I slowly climbed the stairs, my mind drifting back to Jake. He made me feel so safe, I understood that we were pretending to the others but I did not think he could ever hurt me, could he?My mind was in a complete haze. The second I entered the room I settled on the bed thinking deeply about everything. It felt like I should turn back the hands of time and never involve myself with Glen, maybe I would really be in a relationship with Jake.I could't even love him because Glen was still stuck in my heart, I sighed deeply, turning to the sides consistently, "the wedding is fast approaching, I can survive for a couple of days right?" I mumbled under my breath, folding myself, pounding hard on my thoughts.I was about to drift to sleep when I heard a soft knock on the door. There was a high probability it was Glen but there was still something in me pushing to open the door.I rose from the bed heading straight to the door, I
I slowly got up from my bed heading straight to the bathroom, I let the tap run as I stared at myself in the mirror, I looked quite different, paler in complexion, eyes draped low. I tried fixing a smile on my face but it looked completely fake, "a bath would solve this," I muttered softly, turning to the bathtub. I lowered myself into the bath, letting the steam dissolve my stress. But as my body relaxed, my conscience betrayed me; guilt crawled back into my mind, bringing with it the one person I was trying to forget. "Fuck..." I muttered softly, letting a tired breath, "what spell have you placed on me that I just can't forget you?" I couldn't even stay in the bathtub for long, I left the bathroom straight to the bed, suddenly my phone rang loudly, I groaned slightly stretching to the corner, dragging my phone off the table. I sluggishly answered, placing the phone on my ear, "You've reached Addison's phone line, she's about to sleep, let this be important else I'll be suing
I stood stunned trying to let Conrad's words sink, what did he mean by that? Maybe he was just trying to help Glen or something, but he sounded quite too serious to be joking.I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist gently startling me a bit, "you're a bit jumpy," I turned, seeing him smile softly."Can you guys stop being all cuddling and come eat," Lovina groaned. We made our way to the dining room, both Jake and Conrad sat at each of my sides."The queen and her two bodyguards, what a beautiful sight," Leslie said in a mocking tone, "be warned, I'm coming to sink that ship.""This isn't the first time you're saying that and honestly it won't be your last," Lovina rolled her eyes."Can we just skip all these crazy things and just eat, I've already missed my time for my meds," I smiled softly eating my mashed potatoes.We ate in silence, talking here and there while Jake kept the pretense of making us look like the perfect couple.Finally, we left, Lovina and Caleb still stayed a
ADDISON's POV PRESENT TIME His words still rang loudly in my ears, I was no longer feeling safe around him anymore but some part of me felt like I was overthinking while the other part wanted me to cut out of this completely. I slowly made my way to the living room where a cheerful cackle was heard, "isn't that fruits and chocolates for the patient, why are you eating it?" I could hear Leslie nagging at someone, my thoughts... Conrad. "Sharing is caring, besides she won't care, she looks a bit too much," I chuckled softly as I heard Conrad, I could literally see that cocky grin plastered on his face. I was about to enter the room when my phone rang with a notification, "hope you love the fruits and chocolate, get well soon, la mia piccola zucca," I smiled at the message Romeo sent. I translated the Italian part, "my little pumpkin," I chuckled softly then entered the room when my face felt a splash of cold water. The whole room went still, even their breath suddenly seize
“Addison…” I blinked at him, still frozen in the middle of the mall, of all the people I could have bumped into while secretly trailing Glenn’s secretary, Jack was probably the last person I expected to see. “You?” he added, his brows pulling together slightly. “What are you doing here?” His wo
Glen straightened slowly, “I have a meeting.” His voice was calm as he reached for a stack of documents on the desk, flipping through them carefully. My chest tightened. I watched his hands closely, he gathered the papers, slid them into a slim folder, and tucked it under his arm. I searched his
"Is that my gift for helping?"I looked at his text, rolled my eyes and entered the cab. Leslie kept giggling as she replied to the texts on her phone."Who got you feeling like a high schooler?" I teased."Oh please," she let out a soft laugh, "like every guy I flirt with can make me feel like a h
"I'll call you when I get there," Leslie said while entering the guy's car"Sure," I waved at her as the car zoomed off, I exhaled softly and went back into the big mansion.I went straight to my room, taking out the novels that I had gotten a few weeks ago but never got the time to read.Before I
