Jeanet

"Jeanet, can we please talk?"

The moment I see Ji-Hwan, tears fall uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry," he keeps whispering.

I finally allow myself to fall apart. He holds me as I cry my eyes out.

"Can we sit down to talk?" he asks when my sobs have died down.

When he lets go, I look around to find out that Damien silently walked away.

“I need to tell you something about my past,” I say as we sit on one of the garden chairs.

“It's not necessary," he shakes his head. "So, someo

  • Taming My Best Friend's Uncle   Chapter 67

    JeanetThe breakfast table is quiet, and I can see the way that Damien is shifting uncomfortably in his seat that he sort of wishes that he wasn't in this room. It's just the sound of forks and knifes and plates. I also don't even know what to say to make this less awkward. "That is crazy! How could you do this to me?" Linda is crying at the breakfast table."I don't have a choice, Linda.""But it's safer here than it is out there, why would you do something like that?" She looks from me to Damien. "Unless my uncle paid you again. Did he?""I understand you are upset, but you don't have to say such hurtful things.""I'm sorry," she mumbles. "It's okay," I chime in."But tell me, what are you going to do out there by yourself?" Her voice breaks. "I'll figure it out?" I half-ask."Please, stay. Uncle tell her to stay. Tell her we want her here. You do want her here, don't you?"Damien just nods in response. He doesn’t even look in my direction, and his nod is curt, it's almost unreco

  • Taming My Best Friend's Uncle   Chapter 66

    DamienThe words slice through me like a knife. She might as well have carved out my heart, because the feeling is probably similar. "Jeanet?" My voice comes out hoarse and desperate. "Damien?" She sounds irritated. "You are breaking up with me?" "We've never been together, Damien." She rolls her eyes. My jaw drops, but I quickly pick it up off the floor. She's right, of course, but the way she's so emotionless as she says this hurts me more than I would like to admit. "Wait," she furrows her eyebrows. "We were never together. Were we?" I try to smile politely, but the only thing that happens is me pressing my lips together. "We were not," I manage to say. She sighs, and the relief that she feels is written on her face. "I appreciate everything you've done for me, Damien. You and I have come a long way, and it's safe to say we have gone from being enemies to..." she trails off. "Enemies to people who tolerate each other. So, at least I don't wish for you to choke on your diamo

  • Taming My Best Friend's Uncle   Chapter 65

    JeanetI was led to a dark room in the basement for my disobedience, and I've been sitting in here, I don't know, for how long. In this room, at least I can move around, but it feels more like a prison cell. The boss lady, whoever her name is, reminded me over and over again that I should be grateful to Damien or I would regret trying to run away.I hear footsteps, and I rush to the mattress to sit and look innocent. The light is switched on, hurting my eyes, and both the kidnappers are standing in the doorway."You have no idea how much I'm tempted to put a bullet through your head." The guy looks at me, his face marred with disgust. "I would've done it if everyone weren't so afraid of Damien. You know, it really feels as if everyone practically worships that traitor.""Come on, we need to be patient. We will destroy him one day, and at least we know who we are going to use to do that." She places her hand around my arm, deliberately causing me pain. I wince, but I don't say a word.

    Damien"We..." Tumi trails off. "We can't find the footage in five minutes.""Tell me you are joking," I chuckle in disbelief. "Tell me that this is a joke.""I promise you, Damien, that we'll find whoever did this, but we can't speed up the process of retrieving the CCTV.""My niece's... My friend has been kidnapped, and I want to find her, but this is all you can tell me?""I can get my security team to look for her; we will do it for free, and I promise...""No, thanks," I interject. "I'm good, and thanks for nothing. When I'm done with this, I'll find whoever deleted that footage, and God help them."Tumi shifts uncomfortably. "That is a threat, Damien.""I'm glad you see it for what it is." I storm off from the office, and the moment I get in the car, I call my number one suspect. "Where's Jeanet?" I ask as soon as my mother picks up the call. "There's no, 'Hello, mother, how are you? Have you forgotten your manners, or is this girl driving you crazy that much?'" "Mother! Wher

    JeanetThe boss lady's rings, and then she speaks in a calm tone and expressionless face. After hanging up, she sighs as she stares at me. "I still don't understand why." She shakes her head. "Are you blackmailing him?" She raises her eyebrows, waiting for me to respond. I point at the tape on my mouth. "You are pretty, I admit that, but you are not captivating."She turns to my kidnappers, who are standing on the side and watching me with curious looks. "Remove her tape, I want to ask her a few questions." The kidnapping lady walks towards me and removes the tape as if she's removing a wax strip. I almost scream in pain, but I manage to keep it together. I refuse to give her the satisfaction that she hurt me. "So..." The boss lady smirks. "Are you blackmailing him?" "I'm not blackmailing him." I hold up my chin defiantly."Oh! Feisty, I see," she chuckles. "I never expected this."I've been tied to this chair for closer to a day, I'm exhausted and thirsty, but I can't sleep or dri

  • Taming My Best Friend's Uncle   chapter 62

    DamienI am sitting at the table for breakfast when Linda walks in the dining area alone. She freezes in the doorway and stares at the table, then she walks towards the table, her eyes filled with questions. "Where's Jeanet?" I ask her."I was about to ask the same question. Her bed is almost made, but she's not there.""Did you check the gym?""I looked everywhere for her, but she isn't around.""Did you call her?""Obviously, but her phone is in her room."A strange feeling of something that feels like fear moves through my body. Linda and I exchange a look that says we could be thinking the same thing."No!" His eyes widen. "No, no, no," she shakes her head. "Your security is tight, right? And it doesn't seem like she was forced out of her room. Maybe she went for a run.""Jeanet doesn't run.""Come and see her room."I walk to her room at a slower pace than how I usually walk, hoping to catch a glimpse of her and hoping she's around the house and Linda didn't see her. "It seems

    Jeanet "Ji-Hwan." I smile as I take the call, and Linda is grinning next to me. "So, you owe me a date," Ji-Hwan says from the other end of the line. "I don't have enough money for a fancy date right now.""Who said anything about money?" he asks. "What do you have in mind?" "You tell me, what

    DamienWhat the hell is wrong with me? I have never wanted Jeanet, and I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to think about her like that. I don't care if she's 28 or 40. This is because of that damn misletoe kiss, and I hope I forget all about the kiss sooner than later. It's driving me insane. We are

    Jeanet “Thank you, I had a really great time.” I glance at Ji-Hwan. “No. Thank you. I haven’t had this much fun in a while.”“Well, and you didn’t tell me you could really, really dance.”“I was a K-Pop artist, what did you expect?” He chuckles. “Are you sure I can’t go in with you? You don’t see

    JeanetLast time, my excuse was that we were under a mistletoe, but I have no excuse this time, except that I wanted to kiss him. I can't believe I gave in so fast, probably faster than we both expected.It all happened so fast, one moment I had my arms around his neck without remembering how I did
