Ivanna's PoVI did do something stupid by kissing Jax's lips at that time. I was following the impulse that somehow led me to do that. And now, I was suffering from prolonged shame. For a while, I just paced the room and couldn't keep my eyes closed. For some reason, one day seemed to fly by, and to deal with all of this; I appeared hopeless.The wedding between me and Damon, which I imagined would be a sacred and happy moment, seemed impossible to continue. There was no way I could plunge myself into a pit where I would eventually drown, and if that happened, Damon wouldn't necessarily save me.Again, this would be Jax's job.Then, when I was a little calmer and about to lie down, the door to the room opened. I reluctantly turned my head because, from the sound of footsteps alone, I knew who was coming. There was no way Jax would dare to enter my room just like that."I saw your bodyguard leave here a few minutes ago," he said suddenly, without care."So?""What was he doing in dayli
Ivanna's PoV We—more precisely me, Damon and Tatiana, had arrived at H hotel, one of the ten most luxurious hotels in The Emirates. And everything was beyond my expectations. If I put it this way, it's bad enough to say it went well. Maybe it went well for Damon and Tatiana, who had a business need, but it definitely was not for me. On the first day, we arrived at the hotel when the sun was high, and Damon rented a suite with amenities in it that had two bedrooms. I wouldn't say I liked the idea of this one, as it meant we had no privacy, and again Tatiana had to be in the same place as us. I didn't understand what had happened to me to be so full of suspicion and negative thoughts towards them, especially when Damon and Tatiana were all dressed up while I was just in my pajamas—having decided to rest for a bit. "Where are you going? We've just arrived," I said, unable to understand this man's thought. If Damon calls himself a workaholic, this is too much of a workaholic. Moreover,
Ivanna's PoV I knew what I was doing. I left the room and ignored Jax, who was trying to prevent the decision I was about to make this time. I don't want to be this man's victim anymore; I will end it now. Damon and Tatiana are still enjoying their hot play, filling each other up. Damon seems so intoxicated as if what Tatiana gives him is so extraordinary compared to what I've ever given him. My chest is burning and throbbing with pain. My blood rushes as if I can no longer contain my anger; even Jax won't be able to stop it. I pat Damon's back, who suddenly realizes he isn't alone in this place. Maybe he had planned not to invite me before, but to cover up his already too-deep lies, he was forced to take me with him. "Vans ... what are you doing here?" asked Damon, a pained look on his face. I could see it even in the dim light. They had opened the curtains covering the large glass window in the living room so that the moonlight could enter and shine on them while they fucked each
Jax's PoV "Hey, Jax! Are you coming? I'm done getting you the stuff you need! To our usual place, ASAP!" said the man on the other side. I had an appointment to meet him tonight for some business. I didn't know who had taken the syringe and serum I had, but ever since that first kiss with Ivanna, I couldn't find them. The maid might have seen and thrown them away, but if that was the case, I should be able to find them somewhere. However, I didn't find it anywhere. Fortunately, Ayden had finished the serum's production and made enough for me. For all of us. I haven't told you about myself yet, because it's not very interesting to talk about. My story with Ivanna is far more intriguing than the one about myself that I might slowly tell you and Ivanna. That is if she wants to know. Speaking of Ivanna's story, the decision she made seemed to me to be rash. Even though she had witnessed what her fiancé had done at that time right in front of her eyes, she should not have spontaneously
Ivanna's PoV I had said those hurtful words to Jax; I didn't know what was happening to me. The man offered no resistance, just nodded with a flat face that I honestly couldn't translate. I was indeed upset that he had foiled so many of my plans. If I had known that Damon had cheated on me a long time ago, maybe I wouldn't have had to go to The Emirates and see for myself that my best friend was a traitor. Now that it's all out in the open, I'm blaming Jax. Doesn't that sound unfair? But let it be. After all, Jax wouldn't be at a disadvantage if he was no longer my bodyguard. He could do various jobs and satisfy his drug addiction without me interfering. Speaking of drugs, I remembered something. I got up from the bed and walked to the closet, looked at the box inside, and opened it to take out the contents. I held a syringe and two ampoules of the serum Jax often injected into his body. I had deliberately kept them to report them to the police when I had more evidence. However, w
Ivanna's PoV I was waiting at the place the man had promised. Although I had never met him in person, I felt confident that what I was doing this time was the right thing to do. I'm not doing it because I hate Jax or resent his meddling attitude that made me stay with Damon a little longer and hurt me even more, but because there should be no bad things around me. I asked myself, what was the basis for my actions this time? I've already fired Jax, isn't the problem solved? Of course, it should be. But, unfortunately, it's not that easy if what's in my heart is just the opposite. For some reason, the past few days without Jax felt ... weird. Even like last night, I woke up feeling like someone was watching me in my room. When I opened my eyes, I saw the shadow of a familiar man sitting on the window frame, where I usually sat while reading my favorite novel. This time wasn't the first time this had happened to me; back when Jax was still working as a bodyguard, I often experienced it
Jax's PoV Who was the man who was always with Ivanna? Is it her new lover? Why does my chest feel tight seeing them together? I don't like that man following Ivanna everywhere. He must be no less dangerous than Damon. I seemed to be able to smell the bad vibes from the jet-haired man. Even from his eyeballs, which were the color of oak tree trunks, there was something that Ivanna must not have realized. Anyway, I planned to stop investigating Damon; no longer being around Ivanna made me feel rattled all day, and what had once excited me was no longer there. Why would I find out about Damon if he no longer bothered Ivanna? And I was no longer the girl's guardian? Ever since Ivanna had dismissed me from my job as her bodyguard, I'd become insane. Every night, I would wander and end up at the mansion where Ivanna lived and, of course, watch her sleeping until the morning came. One day, I experienced the most terrible thing in the world—witnessing Ivanna and her new lover making love.
Ivanna's PoVWhere is Ayden? I've waited almost an hour, and he hasn't shown his nose. Doesn't he know that I still have a lot of things to take care of? Kay and I had to prepare some things for our wedding. He had proposed to me, and I thought there was no harm in accepting after being close friends for so long.I honestly knew Kay better than Damon. That's why it was only natural that Damon could still lie to me while in all the time I was with Kay, he never once lied. Or maybe he has; I don't know.I couldn't wait anymore. I got up from my chair and was about to leave, but a firm hand caught my arm and stopped me. I turned my head momentarily to ascertain who had dared to obstruct my steps this time. Perhaps it was the man who had kept me waiting for so long. If so, I'm sure he'll never forget I don't like waiting."Kay? What are you doing here?" I glanced around, wondering if he had come with someone. "Don't you have an appointment with the record company?"He took me in his arms
