Reunion

“ Ehn? You mean you misunderstood him?” Kelly asked, surprised, she couldn't believe Jenna was the stupid one. “ You just wasted eight years on your own foolish action”

Jenna glared at her “ Archie's father was the reason why all these happened. He said Archie has many enemies, and they are all waiting for him at his weakest state. His mother made it clear she will never accept me. I have gone through a lot in our marriage; he married me secretly without her notice. When will that one end?”

Kelly laughed, is that even an excuse?

She sat beside her friend and held her hands “ I don't blame you, it happened because you have no one to advise you. Both of you are at fault, he is a man, for him to voice out…he still loves you” She smiled and wiped Jenna's tears.

“ Hehehe, it is rare for the tough Jenna to shed tears, I understand your love life isn't easy. No relationship is perfect. You are lucky your partner loves you back. Only his mother is the devil, unlike me” she laughed bitterly. Esteban never liked her from the beginning, but she will never give up.

Jenna snatched Archie from someone, and then she will also snatch Esteban from the fear of loving another woman. She understood his first love was shot in front of him and died in his hand, but that was then, he needed someone to stand by his side and make him happy.

“ But your mom isn't against your relationship with Archie, right?”

Jenna shook her head.“She didn't mind, I loved him and hate him suffer, but his mother is just too much, she changed the maids in our house to her spies”

“ I will also put that in my book, you should handle that part," and Kelly leaned closer to her, “I heard Archie is not on good terms with his mother, why don't you take the advantage of that?”

Jenna chuckled and nodded. “What? Don't you want your man back?”

Jenna paused for a moment. Well, Israel was the one who insisted on staying hidden, for the sake of her kids. Then she nodded. But what if what she said today changed his mind?

“ Overthinking won't promote your relationship” Kelly cleared her throat.

“ If you want him back, do anything it takes to stand by his side. You have no problem, he loves you, his grandparents care for you, even his dad has been sponsoring your daughter since you gave birth to her, that's enough” She patted her shoulder. “ You're lucky you get him easily...” She paused.

Jenna scoffed, “ To be honest I'm tired of hearing that, I will help you improve your relationship, but are you sure you want to do this?” Esteban is another dangerous person no one will dare to mess with. Kelly nodded without hesitation. “ Despite the danger around him?” Jenna asked again. Just want to let her know what she's getting herself into.

“ I love him, Jenna, and I will do anything to get him. Looks like what you did to get Archie…”

“ Ahh, it's okay, why did you keep reminding me that?” she rolled her eyes. Then gasped. “ Is that what motivated you to chase Esteban?” She looked at her in horror, feeling guilty at the same time.

“ No Jenna, I've already planned this before we met, you're just an opportunity to make it easier. I have once made the mistake, I will never let it repeat itself,” Kelly said. She failed to chase the man she wanted, he's now married to her ex-friend. “ I remembered how I used to tell her about my feelings for him, who knows she will later confess to him in secret”

Jenna clapped her hands “Okay, let's start these love games and get these men!” Kelly giggled, “ ok ok ok, text his assistant you want to see him tomorrow.”

At night. After taking her bath, wearing her nightwear, “ haaaaa” she yawned tiredly and lay on the bed. She brought out her phone and dialled her daughter's number.

"Darling," Jenna smiled as Alan's face appeared on the screen "Hi, mommy", she said happily.

"How's your first day in Paris?" she asked. The next moment, a piercing voice echoed in the room ", Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Jenna made sure she put the phone away, protecting her ears.

“I love it!, There are many, many tall buildings and trees, Mom, you should come to Paris to see what I'm seeing, Uncle Esteban and Norman are spoiling me here. Today, I hang out with rich foreigners, we bought so many things like cakes, ice creams, wines, snacks, and so many things, don't worry, I wear a mask, no one recognises me” Jenna sighed and tried to stay awake for the talking machine.

“Alan, that's awesome, just focus on the reason why you are there and don't stress your godfathers, okay?” She said, Alan smiled and nodded, “Chat you later, momma” She quickly disconnected the line.

Jenna shook her head and dialled another number. The person picked up, didn't speak. Jenna chuckled, “How are you doing?” she asked. She knew why the man refused to see her; he intentionally avoided her.

Norman paused for some seconds and replied “Good”

“ Have you been keeping in touch with Adan?” Norman is like a father to him. He raised him. Esteban was the one who helped her raise Adain. She raised Alan herself.

Norman raised a brow “Is that why you called me?” Norman anger suddenly stirred up, Jenna quickly sat up “ No, I'm worried about you Norman, I haven't see you for a year but I knew you're not on any business trip” She confessed, Jenna was aware of Norman's feeling for for her and she wish Norman would move on and meet the person that will love him.

“Let's meet next week” he said plainly. Jenna smiled happily “Really?, I would love to see you again, Norman” Norman used to treat her like a princess, unlike Esteban, who liked to bully her but still protected her.

Norman closed his eyes as Jenna's sweet voice kept ringing in his head. He had hung up the line, but still wanted to hear more and more. After so many years of not seeing her, he had only seen her for a month last year before he started avoiding her. What if he couldn't control himself?

Jenna dialled Adian's number but couldn't reach him. She sighed, “ he must be up to something again,” and finally dialled Adan’s number after several rings.

“Mom,” a low and authoritative voice came through. Jenna laughed she couldn't help but imagine his expression right now. “You are becoming more and more like your Father, " she teased, but Adan maintained his silence as a response.

"What should I do with your stalkers?" he asked. Jenna's heart jumped. “ Ehnn? Don't…” she paused, speechless. She suddenly felt sorry for them. Adan's way of dealing with enemies is scary and predictable.

They were following her car, on her way to Archie's company. Thank God Adan's men are secretly following her car too. They crossed the stalker's car and abducted them.

“Who are these people and why are they stalking me?”

“ They aren't Sen Partick people” he replied. Jenna frowned in confusion, she had no idea who they were working for. Sen Patrick is the only person she offended.

“Your husband's people stopped disturbing my computers, they're up to something”

Jenna laughed, touched. "I'm safe now, okay?” she paused. “ I will be moving back to your father's house soon”

“What do you think?” She asked. She understood that if Adan refused to move with her, Adan's identity isn't simple and must be hidden in the business world. He's just like a president on his own.

“Good” he replied.

“ Don't worry much okay? There's something he's doing that I don't like; he has switched to his dangerous self. I thought he had let it go, but who knows, it's always following him around." she complained. " Well, I'm planning to stay by his side no matter what”

Adan remained silent, listening to his mother's voice.

"And Adan, don't kill them”, she warned. She knew him so well; compared to Adian, his brother, Adan is quiet and difficult to understand.

"Noted," Adan replied and ended the call. Nothing to worry about, Mr Patrick hasn't attacked Jenna yet, he didn't even have his time.

The next day, Jenna went to Archie's company very early. He met Martinez's confused face and asked, “ What is it?”

Martinez hid the files in his hand and looked at Jenna with surprise “ Good morning, Miss Jenna, are you sure of the message you sent me yesterday?”

Jenna smiled and nodded. “ Office?”

“ Yes, sure”, he said and watched her back in amusement.

Jenna was about to knock, but it opened itself. ‘Automatic,’ she murmured and entered.

There he was, the moody figure sitting tiredly on a big leather chair. He had two of his shirt buttons open. Cigarette in his mouth, smokes oozing out from it, creating a sexy view.

Jenna sighed and walked toward him “What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to meet…” Jenna removed the cigarette from his mouth and threw it in the trash can. Archie raised a brow, watching her.

Jenna lifted the hem of her gown and sat on his lap, facing him, each of her legs by his side.

“I thought you wanted to buy a pen?” He smirked.

Jenna wrapped her hands around his neck and looked at his silver eyes. She heard Eleanor had booked the most expensive wedding dress in Kelly's shop, claiming Archie is her soon-to-be husband.

“ The eight-year disappearance isn't my idea”, she confessed.

Archie only stared at her lips. He knew his father had bought her a ticket to China eight years ago. Israel has a friend who is good at material skills, only his place is safe for Jenna.

“ I'm afraid you won't tolerate me talking back to your mom,” she added, creasing his hair. ‘Oh, finally, I successfully own this dangerous man from today, well he is always mine’ she thought and smiled as she played happily with his hair.

Archie caught her hands and sat up, looking deeply at her with ocean blue eyes “What makes you suddenly change your mind? What are you up to?”

Jenna smiled faded “ You still don't trust me?” She asked. What's wrong with falling for him and wanting him? Jenna faked anger and prepared to stand.

Archie held her shoulder down, and then, their lips locked. Jenna was stunned, she didn't expect that. Before she knew it Archie's hands had cupped her cleavages, giving them nice messages.

Archie groaned sexily and deepened the kiss; he sucked her tongue, devoured her mouth. Jenna tried to meet up with him, but he's faster.

Before she knew it, his hands had slid under her gown, creasing her lap. He placed his wet mouth on her neck. Sucking it. She has successfully made him lose control.

“ Ahhhh,” she moaned softly, one of Archie's hands was on her inner thigh, while the other was creasing one of her naked breasts.

“ Emmm…wait.. Archie, someone is knocking” she tried to pull away, but Archie didn't let go. The door is automatic, what if it suddenly opens?

“Archie…ahh..ahh…wait..”

‘ Door open’ the door announced. Jenna's eyes widened in horror as the door opened.
