ログイン“I'd help you. But that's only if you play by my rules.” … Jacqueline would have killed anyone who said her name alongside Alex's. She hated his attitude, his name, his existence, and most especially—his tattoos. But when she is thrown out of her father’s house, and the billionaire biker offers her a deal amidst the rough night. She is choiceless. She needs to survive two unbearable years before she reveals her true identity. She lands in his glass house on the city outskirts, and she is forced into an agreement of convenience. But Alexander did not only hold power, he held secrets. Dangerous secrets.
もっと見るChapter ElevenJacqueline’s POVMy eyes snapped open.Alex was standing at the living room entrance, in his leather jacket with his helmet in his hand. His eyes moved from me to Jayden slowly, then back to me. His expression didn’t change. Just that flat unreadable look that somehow felt worse than any reaction he could have given.I stepped back from Jayden without thinking about it.“Alex,” I said. I didn’t know why I said his name. I had nothing to follow it with.“I didn’t realise you were expecting company,” he said. His voice was completely even.Jayden straightened beside me. I could feel him doing it — that thing he does when he wants to appear unbothered. He put on an easy smile and extended his hand towards Alex.“Jayden. Jackie’s boyfriend.”Alex looked at the hand for a moment before he shook it.“I know who you are,” Alex said.The smile on Jayden’s face didn’t drop but I could see that he clenched his jaw while smiling. That wasn’t a good sign. It had gotten uncomfortabl
Alexander’s POVBoardrooms have always bored me. It has never been a place I enjoy being in. I always look for reasons to avoid coming here, but Janelle had to question my position and now here I am.I took my seat without greeting anyone. I am the CEO after all and that wouldn’t change by the end of this meeting. I was sure of that before I even walked through the door.There are twelve board members. I had known everything about all twelve from the moment I accepted this position. I know the ones who are loyal to Janelle and the neutral ones, or as I like to call them, the smart ones.Janelle sat three seats to my left. She was wearing a dark green suit, hair pulled into a tight bun, hands folded on the table in front of her. She was trying to look composed.But I knew she wasn’t.Kara wasn’t here. Smart move on Janelle’s part. Kara would have ruined the whole thing just by opening her mouth.I waited until the room was completely quiet before I spoke.“I’ll make this simple,” I sai
Jacqueline’s POVFor a second neither of us moved. Hannah’s eyes were wide, her face drained of every drop of colour. My phone was still in her hand and her other phone was angled towards it.“What are you doing?” That was the only question I could blurt out. I had so many questions but this would do for now.She opened her mouth. It looked like she was trying to come up with an explanation but nothing came out. I’d had enough of her. I’d suspected her from the first day and she just proved my suspicion right.“Put it down.” My voice came out steadier than I felt. “Put my phone down right now.”She put my phone on the bed slowly. Her hands were shaking. It was dawning on her that she had been caught and there was no way out for her.I picked it up and looked at the screen. My messages were open. Jayden’s chat. She had been taking a picture of my private conversation.The anger hit me instantly. Why would she do this?“Come with me,” I said.“Please—” she started.“Now, Hannah.”I walk
Jacqueline’s POVThe ticks were still blue. I turned my phone face down on my thigh and told myself to stop looking at it. I lasted for a few seconds more before I picked it up again, but still nothing.Jayden had seen my message. That much was clear. He had seen it and had refused to reply.He’s probably where he is, handling his family emergency, and that could be one of his relatives. That’s the only logical explanation. I shouldn’t rush into conclusions until I hear from him.Alex was across the room, one leg crossed over the other, typing on his phone. He hadn’t said anything since I’d gone quiet. He didn’t ask what was wrong. He didn’t look up from his phone, not even once.I appreciated that more than I wanted to admit. He is helping me out even if it’s not really from the goodness of his heart. He is going to have 20% of the shares at the end. But I wouldn’t want him knowing what’s going on in my relationship.I turned my phone over again. Opened our chat. I stared once again
