Taming The Devil's Queen Fifty
AnnaThe moment I stepped into my office, the door clicked shut behind me. I sighed and reached for the silver case on my desk, pulled out a cigarette, and struck the lighter with a practiced flick.The first curl of smoke touched my lips just as Havilah slipped inside, head bowed as though she was reporting to a firing squad.I didn’t speak. I watched her through the haze as I drew in a slow, deep drag. She looked small… smaller than usual.“You didn’t have to stand up for me,” she whispered, fingers fidgeting with the hem of her apron. “She seems very influential. What if she comes back for the confectionery… like she threatened?”I let out a dry laugh, a cold, humorless sound that bounced off the walls.Of course. Of course her first worry would be the confectionery.“Are you intentionally trying to piss me off?” My cold voice cracked.She blinked, startled. “Ma?”Havilah was barely in her twenties but she carried innocence which unfortunately, was an invitation for wolves.“You he

Jessica“Looking for me?”The voice floated in calmly from behind. I turned, still fuming, ready to lash out again… but froze.The woman who stood before me wasn’t wearing a manager’s tag. She carried herself with quiet authority. Even the staff around her straightened immediately.She looked at me the way someone looks at a spoiled child making a scene. And somehow, that infuriated me even more.“Who are you?” I asked sharply.She walked closer, her heels soft but deliberate. “I’m the owner,” she said simply. “Anna Tyson.”My stomach twisted. The owner?I wasn’t expecting that.Still, I lifted my chin. “Good. Then you’re the one I need to speak with.”“I’m listening,” she said, folding her arms.“This..” I pointed at the lady still rubbing her cheek. “This so-called manager of yours just laid her hands on me! And your staff stood by while I was attacked in your establishment. I hope you understand how serious that is.”Her expression didn’t change. She didn’t flinch. She just stared

Jessica Her lips parted slightly as if to say something, then she smiled faintly. “And what if I don’t want to back off? Or are you scared he might end up choosing me over you?”Her words hit like a slap. I froze, then let out a cold laugh. “You’re funny.”The confidence in her tone stung worse than the words themselves. I wasn’t used to being challenged especially not over Jayden. Not by a woman like her.My lips twitched into a bitter smile. “You really don’t know who you’re talking to, do you?”She tilted her head, amusement flickering in her eyes. “Oh, I do. You’re Jessica Alcott, the spoiled heiress everyone’s too scared to tell the truth to.”That did it.I picked up the nearest glass of wine and raised it slowly to my lips, pretending to take a sip. But before she could blink, I tilted my wrist and poured it on her instead. The red liquid splashed across her cream dress, staining it instantly.“Oops,” I said sweetly. “My mistake.”She gasped, standing up sharply as whispers fi

JessicaThe soft chime above the confectionery door rang as I stepped in, the sweet scent of vanilla and warm pastries wrapping around me like a welcome. It was a weekday afternoon, yet the place buzzed with quiet sophistication, perfect for a discreet meeting.I adjusted the strap of my designer purse, scanning the room until my eyes landed on him. Mr. Alexander Blackwood, Jayden’s father seated by the window, impeccably dressed as always, a cup of espresso resting untouched in front of him.For a moment, I hesitated. The man had an aura that commanded attention without trying. “Good afternoon, sir,” I greeted, flashing my most polite smile as I approached his table.He looked up immediately, and the sharp lines of his face softened. “Jessica,” he said with that rare, approving smile. “You look radiant as ever. Please, have a seat.”I sat opposite him, crossing my legs under the table. “Thank you for coming, sir. I really appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to meet

Jayden I spent the entire flight back restless, every second dragging. My mind kept replaying Kelvin’s nervous voice, his hesitation, the sound of my father’s amusement on the other end.He could hurt Kelvin just to prove a point. That’s the kind of man he was; charming in public, venomous in private.By the time I arrived at the estate,my patience was hanging by a thread.The guards straightened when they saw me. They didn’t even need instructions, one pressed the button, and the door slid open to reveal the private suite.I stepped inside, my gaze immediately finding Kelvin. He was sitting across from my father, looking like he’d just escaped a firing squad. Relief flashed in his eyes when he saw me.Good. He was safe.“Dad,” I said, my voice flat but edged.“Son,” he replied, smiling as if this was some sweet family reunion. “I was just telling your friend here how proud I am of the both of you.”Kelvin shifted uncomfortably in his seat.I ignored the sarcasm dripping from my fath

KelvinI swallowed hard as I took hesitant steps toward the room. Mr. Alexander, Jayden’s father had suddenly invited me for lunch. Lunch?. The word sounded harmless, but with this man, nothing ever was.I already knew what this was about. He wanted to find out how far Jayden had gone with getting a girlfriend.And how on earth was I supposed to tell him that the possibility of that happening was as thin as a strand of spider silk?. I still don't understand why Jayden is hell bent on having a woman who doesn't want him when there are millions of ladies willing to do anything just to be with him. Phew! That jerk isn’t even in the country, and that meant I had no backup. I was on my own.Two bodyguards stood like statues by the entrance of the private suite. One of them pressed a button, and the glass door slid open with a soft hiss.My heart slammed in my chest.The room was enormous, white walls, gold accents, and a long dining table set perfectly at the center. The scent of roasted
