CHAPTER 13IRENE'S POVI FELT dirty after everything, the fact that I climaxed to the memories of a man I claimed to hate was itself very complicated…I dragged myself out of bed and walked to the bathroom brushing and flossing quickly before heading under the faucet for a warm bath.Deep down in my soul I wished the warm water cold wash away his touch from my nerves and soul.I ran the comb through my hair as I rang the phone downstairs telling the maid what I wanted for breakfast.My plan for the day was easy—I was going to avoid anything to do with James.Soon, I heard on my my door and opened to find there-It was Seven o’clock in the morning as I sat on the couch in my room with only an oversized one as I ate a bowl of cereal while scrolling through my phone.My phone buzzed in my hands as a message popped in. I choked on my food …Apparently James must have been intending to send it to someone else because it was deleted not even ten seconds after I had seen it.My eyes widened
CHAPTER 14JAMES POV.She in her ways and any more ways I couldn't quite figure out never ceased to amuse me.Irene—The thought of that name alone leaves me guessing.There was something about her I couldn't quite get out of my mind despite my general rule when it came to women and I couldn't quite figure it out, the truth was dealing with her was freakishly overwhelming.It was like she had a hold over me, almost as if I was right there in her book.To make matters more complicated for myself, I couldn't quite stay away.Perhaps, this whole thing was a bad idea after all I couldn't help thinking.It was two ways when it came down to my mindset about her:In the instance, we were two people forced together by fate having conflict within ourselves and in the other instance, we were not trying to stay away from each other.Yet, there were these unexplainable situations that kept bringing us together just like this.I was right here standing in her room, looking so tenderly into her eye
CHAPTER 15IRENE'S POVWhat does he want?It was merely a question shadowing what I had in my mind to say.If there was anything I would blame, anything I found fault with among all of this, it certainly had to be his attractiveness.His attractiveness was the same reason why I was here at this moment, why most of the words was left buried deep in me unsaid.His attractiveness was why I had to deal with his bullshit.From the look in his eyes, I saw that glint of-uncertainty, despite the fact that what I felt for him was something absurd, something between hate and as a sense of attraction that I found humoring, his eyes still held me captive.His gaze was captivating and for a second I couldn't just look away, yet at the same time it was complicating, more complicating than the whole entanglement we were in.He closed his eyes, a smile crawling up the creek of his face.It was a question I was certain,he wouldn't be able answer, one that-His eyes opened and the gaze of his amble ey
CHAPTER 16JAMES POVDealing with her and its complications, and that was because she always finds a way of getting under my skin.Marcus once said to me recently that if I treated everyone the way I treated Irene or rather if I look at them the same way I look at Irene the world would be a safer place.It was the absolute truth, it got me wondering if I was that weak when it came to her, vulnerable to the extent that one could read every emotion out of my face.I should treat her the same way I treat the other women that have been in my life. I should treat her with disdain but no matter how much I tried there was something about her that kept getting to me.It was like an absurd situation and I was caught right there in the middle of it all.Slowly, I was starting to make bad ideas when it came down to her. I had been alone —all alone in my room after coming out of the shower when my phone buzzed.After ending the call and texting Marcus In a funny way I decided to tease her and so
CHAPTER 17IRENE'S POVI might not have had a good reason to dislike James in the beginning, rather than the fact that he was cocky and proud but after meeting with this morning, after he had knocked on my door to tell me how the contract had gone down the drain , I now had a substantial motive to immensely dislike him.He was the last person I expected to see that morning, and seeing at my door while I was just getting up from my bed was a turn off.James looked like he was running, as it turned out to be, it was something he does on a regular basis and as I have noticed, it was his way of getting thoughts out of his mind.All this had happened twenty minutes ago, it was then I had heard right from the horse's mouth that I was stuck with him and from what I learned he had not expected it to happen.I didn't know how to feel about the news, even more with the way he said it.Apparently, he had volunteered to be the one to tell me the news as I was certain that was what he and my co
CHAPTER 18JAMES POV.Red and yellow lights from the street blurred through the car windows as I made my way through, I was driving at an incredibly fast speed and all I could think about was her.Irene— That woman was certainly a huge case I had gotten myself into.If there was anything she was so good at doing it was getting under my skin and the truth was, she does it so well.She does in a way that looked like there was nothing I could do to stop her from saying whatever she wanted to say.Call her a bitch or whatever you wanted to , buy it didn't take one fact away and that was the fact that she was so good at what she does.She looked like someone brought up properly with normal etiquettes, at some point I thought j was being played in a game by Marcus but then I was quick to take that thought away from my mind.I blinked at the clock that read one p.m. and then rolled my eyes. I had been driving for a good straight hour without stopping.The thought of going back to her s
CHAPTER 19.JAMES POVShe was definitely the last person I expected to see at this place.I stood there perplexed, unable to move away from where I was as I stared into the eyes of my onec past love and companion Addie.If there was any term to describe my dark toxic past it definitely had a lot to do with her and I was speaking about not just the toxic part of it but everything in general.She was one person that had walked right into my life and changed the whole Outlook of it.We both had dated for quite a while till it turned out that I had wanted more and so after making love to her one certain morning I had walked out and the rest was history..Addie was no saint as well, she looked to be an addict at whatever she did and forever I was talking about the sex, drugs and the list was endless.Seeing here right there again, standing right at that spot I didn't know whether to feel excited or not.The reference to our past sex life inspired a mix of emotions— embarrassment, anger,
CHAPTER 20IRENE'S POV.The door shut behind me as I made my way to the room, this was far from boring for me as I was not into nature and his absence made it more difficult.I had loved his presence around each time he had come around, even if it turned out that I was always taunting him most of the time or even if the reverse was the case.The more thought of him sent shivers through my nerves.I was convinced I was the worst person in the world at that moment, the fact I knew nothing about him to the extent that I had no idea about his mother was frustrating .I’d assumed she had died or most probably he was let alone to be on his own due to his frustrating attitude, but as it turned out to be she had not died of cancer or some other illness, but now all I could picture was a six year's old James being left all by himself.That had explained why he had turned out to be dark yet the fact that he had risen from that deepest hollow show how reliable and steady he and had been over
