Jamie Henderson had just arrived at one of his Las Vegas hotels, The Bay Resort and Casino, where he would be spending the weekend. He decided to take a stroll around the expensive and extravagant property to see the latest renovations that had been carried out in his absence and the first thing that caught his eye was the club building.
He crossed the wide parking lot to the neon-lit club with bouncers outside. They nodded in greeting as he walked past them and into the enclosed space, which was filled to the brim with people. The first thing that greeted him was the pungent smell of weed and the boisterous cheers of the crowd gathered near the stage.His gaze narrowed as he tried to understand why there was a makeshift stage and why the crowd was roaring with excitement. But his questions were soon answered when a man stepped forward who appeared to be the host of the show in progress."Contestant number twenty is up!" he announced, and even more cheers came from the crowd as a blonde woman in skimpy shorts and a white t-shirt took the stage.Jamie's eyes were fixed on the blonde as she walked on shaky legs and laughed hysterically.Her posture amused him and he couldn't help but compare her to a doll. Her long, wavy blonde hair shimmered in the bright stage lights and her smooth, creamy white skin looked almost like porcelain. His gaze traveled down the oversized t-shirt that hid her body until his eyes landed on her smooth, shapely legs exposed by her shorts. He suddenly felt the need to approach her and caress her thighs just to feel that skin against his palm.Jamie continued to stare at the blonde woman, almost lost to his surroundings and his curiosity waning, but he was quickly brought back to reality when he saw someone pour a bucket of water on the blonde, successfully drenching her so badly that her once shiny blonde hair lost its lustre and was now stuck to her face. Worse still, the large white shirt she was wearing clung to her body, leaving nothing to the imagination as it outlined her ample breasts and the curve of her hips. Jamie blinked, the crowd's uproar sailing into his ears as it finally dawned on him.It was a wet t-shirt contest.He was still in shock from what he had just witnessed when the crowd started chanting that she wasn't wet enough and to his bewilderment, another bucket of water was dumped on the blonde.Not only was the outline of her body visible this time, but the white shirt became transparent, hugging her body and revealing the skin underneath and her pale pink nipples, now imprinted on the sheer fabric of her shirt.Jamie blinked, a wave of lust hitting him at the sight in front of him. His dark, hungry eyes swept over her body, moving slowly from her face hidden behind her wet hair down to her slender neck where he had a strange need to suck on before gliding slowly to her chest, to see the luscious globes and the hard tips of her nipples pressed tight against the wet top. Not only could he make out their shape, but he could see the tone of her porcelain skin, and his mouth watered. He was still engrossed in the sight when he heard the host's voice."Do you like what you see?"Loud cheers from the raging crowd was the answer that came and suddenly Jamie snapped out of his trance and he looked around to see that he wasn't the only one interested in the woman that was on stage. All the men in the room had the same lustful expression on their faces and it annoyed him that they wanted the same thing as he did. His teeth gritted, his eyes darkened, and his palms clenched into fists as what he soon realized was jealousy began to build inside him.Having a sudden need to cover her and shield her from their lecherous eyes, he took a step forward, but his senses hit him and he stopped, realizing he was thinking like a caveman and she was not his business to handle. This only annoyed him more, but he stood still, clinging to his last ounce of self-control. But that was broken when he saw the woman frown and tug at the soaked T-shirt.She pulled it harder, stretching it tightly over her breasts and the crowd went crazier than before."I guess Bambi wants to give us a show", the host announced and Jamie gritted his teeth, his heart pounding against her chest.He felt like going up to the host and slamming him against the wall for even putting on such a show.The woman tried to move but stumbled horribly and nearly hit the host, but he laughed and stepped aside.Jamie knew she was drunk from the way her legs were shaking.Was that why she willingly agreed to give them a public show? He wondered inwardly, but all thoughts left him the moment she pulled the wet shirt harder and tried to take it off.Without thought, Jamie stormed towards the stage, his last shred of control gone as he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder. She laughed hysterically and he shot a death glare at the host when he tried to stop him. He turned on his heels and was about to leave, but a brunette appeared from the side and grabbed his arm."Leave my friend alone," she shouted.Jamie's hard gaze fell on her and she fearfully let go of his arm, stepping back.Her words only made him angrier, knowing she was there the whole time and had been watching her drunk friend make a fool of herself to the extent she was about to undress in front of all these people.He stormed out of the club and left to the main hotel building, riding the elevator to his suite on the top floor. Everywhere he passed people looked at him like he was crazy because a giggling woman was hanging from his shoulder and water was dripping on his expensive suit.APRIL 4TH, 2023 Hello lovelies, Thank you so much for sticking with me through the slow updates and for following Cookie and Jamie’s story after the first book.

It's been a month after the incident and everyone is slowly getting used to the reality of it. Williams was still finding it hard to move on and sadly, Rose hasn't returned home since that night.As for Jamie and Cookie, they decided to take some time off from everyone and from all the life drama they’ve experienced. Together with Julia, they went on a vacation.Cookie has gradually accepted the reality that she will never birth a child of her own and she’s discussed it with Jamie on multiple occasions. They weren’t ready to adopt but they wanted to be happy. They were fine with just Julia and they couldn't have asked for more.Sitting on the beach blanket, she watched with a huge smile on her face as Jamie and Julia played in the water, splashing water on each other and laughing hysterically. Though she was surrounded by others, she couldn’t see past her husband and daughter. They were all she needed to be truly happy and she was glad she had them.Jamie caught her eyes and winked at
It’s been two weeks since Sylvia's accident. Immediately Williams divulged the news of the accident, together with Ryan, they drove down to the scene, just about ten minutes out of state to see she’d been escaping from her calamities. She was rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment and she underwent surgery. At the accident scene, her luggage was found coupled with the original documents she’d gotten Clifford to sign that she was meant to pass on to Jamie to finally start off her takeover plan.After the surgery, her legs were badly injured so she had to rely on a wheelchair and the doctor said she may be paralyzed forever. Due to this, the family had pity on her and didn’t involve the police but they made sure to destroy whatever documents she had in her possession. They fired her from the company too and she was left in a nursing home as she couldn’t care for herself and Williams wasn’t yet over the shock of the terrible secrets she’s been hiding. He couldn't be tasked with
According to Jamie’s plan, they all assembled at Ryan’s family home in New York the next day, to reveal Sylvia’s decades-old secret. Before then, he called Sylvia the previous night after his meeting with Ryan, to set up a meeting with her in Texas, just to keep her away from New York during the meeting, as a means of evading her. During his call, he assured her he was ready to take on the task and he made her believe he was still annoyed at how Ryan had treated him in the past. It was believable enough to Sylvia and she praised him for finally manning up to do the right thing.Disregarding that they were still on call, she went about spewing her hate for the Davidson’s and how she’d gotten Clifford to sign the documents that would give up his properties and business empire to Jamie, all in the name of partnering with him. She even shared a soft copy of the document to him after the call and asked him to sign it through electronic means but Jamie refused. He stated that they’d need a
The next day, as planned, Ryan flew to Texas to meet with Jamie in a private location. Jamie had tried retelling Sylvia’s evil plans to him on the phone but he couldn’t get himself to convince the man that Sylvia isn't who they all thought she was. Ryan wanted to confirm for himself, so they set up the meeting.It was held in one of the branches of Ryan’s companies in Texas, to avoid suspicions and to make it look like a business meeting if the news ever gets out. Jamie didn’t put it past Sylvia to secretly keep a watch on him just to monitor his next moves.As soon as they settled into the conference room, he handed the copy of the document that Sylvia had given to him to Ryan as a piece of evidence.“There’s the document your family has been searching for, for the past two years,” he stated, settling into his seat and allowing Ryan to flip through the pages as the realization began to dawn on him. A frown marred his face, the more he read through the pages of the contract.“You’re t
That night, Jamie sat in his home office, still pondering on everything Sylvia had confided in him. He couldn’t believe she was the same woman that had committed such evil acts. The same woman that came off as a saint to guilt trip him into forgiving her and accepting her as his biological mother. But it turned out she only needed him to finalize her revenge plans.It hurt him deeply to realize the truth that Sylvia was only using him. She only came back because she needed him as the final piece to achieve her aim. These thoughts swarmed his head as he sat in the plush leather seat, staring at the document she’d handed to him. He didn’t know what was inside except it contained ten percent of the Davidson's assets that she’d somehow acquired, as she’d informed him earlier that day.Slowly, he pulled it closer and flipped it open to see it was a draft business contract that had been signed. Slowly, his gaze traveled through the page as he read the document. It stated that Benjamin David
It was the weekend and Jamie was seated in his car in the parking lot of the restaurant Sylvia had chosen for their meeting. He’d thought it would be at her home or even his home but surprisingly, she sent the address of a restaurant in Texas to him. He thought it was meant to be a private meeting to avoid drawing attention to themselves as her husband and daughter may not take the news well, but then, he didn’t object to her decision. He gave his word that he’d show up and he did. He was in his car for another ten minutes before he got the call from Sylvia that she’d arrived.Drawing in a deep breath, he alighted from his car in time to see her heading into the building. He caught up with her and they exchanged pleasantries before walking into the room, where she’d already made reservations at a private booth in a corner that could grant them the privacy she wanted.At first, Jamie was a bit confused that her husband and daughter were nowhere to be found and he mentioned it as soon a
It was almost an hour later before Cookie could drive back to the house. To her surprise, Jamie’s car was in the garage. She drew in a shaky breath and stared at her puffy eyes through the rearview mirror. Her heart was palpitating and she wasn’t sure she was ready to face him, confront him, and get the truth out of him. What if he confesses that he truly married her out of pity? Considering he already has a child, what if he says he can’t be with her anymore since he has Julia and may not even need to be married? Although she trusted the man, she still couldn’t help worrying and coming up with different self-damaging thoughts. She sat outside for a few minutes before her phone rang and it was Jamie calling. She thought of answering the call but she let it go to voicemail as she finally gathered the nerves to get out of the car and head into the house. She got in to see him in the living room, still dressed in his custom-tailored suit, pacing with his phone in his ear but as soon as
The cold water from the shower nozzles cascaded over them, as Jamie took his time to wash every inch of Cookie’s body. His skilled fingers rubbed her torso, down to her thighs, slipping between her legs to clean her up and she let out a little whimper, her body sagging against his, with her eyes closed. He chuckled and lightly kissed her neck.“I wish I could stay here forever,” she murmured, releasing a deep breath.Jamie chuckled again, loving how she was melting against him.“You had that luxury for a month but you chose to spend more than half of the time in bed, with me,”“And whose fault was it?” she snapped back but again, he laughed.“Not mine, but I made sure you had a good time, didn’t you?” he latched onto her neck, drinking in the droplets of water from the shower and taking his time to suck hard on her soft spot until a hickey was beginning to form.She released a deep moan, feeling like putty in his arms as he toyed with her body.“You know we’re running late right?” she
