Javier felt the urge just from watching Morgan. It was evident how beautiful and charismatic she was.Morgan seemed to have noticed Javierโs physical reaction, as well as she gently turned her head away to run her hand through her hair as if she did not notice the change. There was no duct of pink on her fair cheeks either.This was probably the difference between a woman and a girl.To Morgan, it was only normal that Javier had a reaction. It was like sex between a man and a woman. It just made sense.Javier even suspected that she thought having sex was an act of admiration for each otherโs beauty and had nothing to do with morals and values.In spite of it, it was still awkward for Javier. To be honest, he really had no lustful intention about her in his mind. After all, she used to be like a goddess to him. That said, his physical reaction was undeniable, and he could not control it either.Javier was a little awkward when he told her embarrassedly, โExcuse me, it isnโt on pu
Javier dared not even imagine that such a delightful accident would take place. He also dared not fantasize about Morgan having such a perfect figure when her kid was already older than him. It was unbelievable.While Javier admired Morgan despite his shock, she quickly dove into the water and resurfaced after over 20 seconds. She had already tied her shoulder straps properly by then and simply looked a little awkward.Javier told her, โIโm so sorry. I didnโt do it on purposeโฆโMorgan assured him that it was no big deal and ushered him up the ship with a smile.When they got back up on the cruise, they lay on the recliners in their swimsuits and enjoyed the warm sun and soft breeze, as well as the fizzy sweetness of the champagne.However, Javier remained curious and decided to ask Morgan, seeing that she was not as sensitive and shy on such topics as other women, โMorgan, I have a question. Can I ask?โโRegarding my figure?โ Morgan asked, turning to face Javier.She was a smart
Meeting again sounded almost intimate, but it simply meant that they would be opportunities to meet again. It also sounded like she was flirting with Javier.It was just that Javier was well aware that Morgan was not flirting with him, nor was this a so-called friendship. That was bullsh*t. Morganโs real purpose was to pave her sonโs way, one that they needed not to be afraid of Lloyd.Since Javier had the power to make Lloyd back down on his own, someone influential like him must not be a person Morgan could meet just as she pleased. Javier also thought there was another reasonโbecause he was young and handsome, and adequately respectful of her. Thus, he did not trigger her annoyance or repulsion.The following days, Javier stayed in the area. There was no other reason than because the new company would need his presence for the opening ceremony and speech. Hence, he spent the days leisurely since there was nothing much to do.At least, that was what it seemed on the surface. Secr
Javier admitted that Morgan was right. He was being a flirt and a tease.Despite that, he could only keep Morgan company as she looked for her past memory due to Morgan's reluctance. Javier was not one to give up, but he was one to make others give up.He believed that the longer they went, Morgan would choose to let Javier have herโwell and breathing!As Javier drove, they finally came to an old apartment in Shenzee. It seemed that Morgan was frequently here as the old man watching the door knew her, nodding at her. โYouโre here again!โโYes, sir.โThere was no deeper conversation after greeting with a nod, and Javier drove the car inside. He parked at one of the buildings, and two of them got into the elevator.Javier thought that Morgan was seeing an old friend, but that was not it. She took him all the way to the rooftop.When they reached the rooftop and overlooked the night view of Shenzee, it was beautiful, bustling with life. In spite of it, Morgan was not here for them
โIt wouldnโt have been effective even if you did expose it at the time. Kai didnโt die with lots of regrets, and it was indeed only an accident. So, even if you were to have exposed it, you would only have gotten turned down, and your progress would have stopped, while Kai would have gained nothing in return. โPlus, I doubt the two of you would have been able to remain together.โYouโre such a strong woman, while Kai was weak in comparison. In fact, the difference is really obvious, so how do you expect him to be able to be together with you happily?โI even think that he probably left just at the right time. It might have been his fate to accompany you and spend those happy and carefree times with you. Then, he paved a bright future for you to travel upon with his death.โSo, we shouldnโt say that he got unlucky, but that fate wasnโt on his side at the time. If I were him, I would feel happy about it. After all, since I already know weโre going to separate sooner or later, I migh
Javier was about to go f*cking insane! At that moment, he even had an urge to jump down from the rooftop to become a ghost. Then, he would go through all kinds of walls to investigate why Kaiser would somehow be related to Morgan! โYouโre shocked as well, arenโt you? I know I was the moment I laid eyes on you. I was shocked over and over again. Even to the point where I began to suspect whether whatever happened that night was just a dreamโฆโMorgan went on to say a lot of things to Javier, but the latterโs mind had gone completely blank, so much that he could not even hear what she had said to him. Javier felt as though his head was about to explode at that moment.He was finding it impossible to comprehend everything that was happening.The night breeze blew, making a mess of Javierโs hair and cooling him down simultaneously.Finally, Javier regained some composure and heard Morgan saying, โYouโre about the same age as my son, so I suspected that youโre Kaiโs son.โJavier decid
Quinna may have been forcefully suspended from work, but Javier actually said, โWonderful!โQuinna was confused as to why Javier would say that, so Javier explained, โHow would you find time to accompany me on some leisure trip if you werenโt suspended? Youโve been busy for so long already, so you should take this opportunity to travel around and relax for the time being.โHow could Quinna possibly be in the mood to travel when she had been suspended? However, she still left the headquarters after Javier insisted. After all, there was no point in her staying there any longer since her suspension was already official.After successfully taking Quinna with him, Javier did in fact begin traveling around with her. The couple even went to a theme park and rode the roller coaster, the pirate ship, and many other enjoyable rides. Indeed, Quinna did seem much more relaxed after that.She was not even worried about whatever was happening to her at work. In her own words, she said the
Jacob had been flayed, so he was no longer a man.Even so, he was not able to escape from the lawโs judgment and got arrested as a result.During his time at the detainment center, the inmates were all rather interested in the fair and chubby man, especially when they heard that he no longer had his manhood. Thus, Jacob was not able to wear pants most of the time, as they would constantly be pulled down.The inmates who had been in there for a long time had grown into perverts who loved men. Therefore, now that they had come across a man they could confront face-to-face, they were on cloud 9.Hence, Jacob spent most of his days being tarnished. Even though Jacob was later sentenced to prison, he still had to go through this, so much so that he wanted to die. However, he did not dare kill himself because of how cowardly he was. Thus, all he could do was be forced to โenjoy the nightโ...Meanwhile, Jacobโs father ended up being thrown into prison as well, all because of his usel
As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the โmanโ in the word โwomanโโin that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greeneโs apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three daysโ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Thenโโbecause I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,โ according to Bernadettaโshe amended the peace offer, changing the three daysโ free meals toโฆa weekโs worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. โI canโt thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t
Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old ladyโs lawn. โItโs him, officers! Itโs all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! Heโs the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!โShe turned and trained her finger on Javier. โYou vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!โโBack at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!โ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. โOh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greeneโs bra because he isโฆthe Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!โ Javier threw his arms up in exasperation
Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! โWhat kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!โ Javier wondered to himself aloud. โWas this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?โBaffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. โHush, itโs alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet andโฆโ Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe himโand for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latterโs electric scooter was. While
A resentful wailโinterspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangledโwas echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of โhell, naw!โ, Florence dove into Javierโs arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a โhelp-me!โ sort of way. She was soft and suppleโdamn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea
The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: โJust you f*cking wait, hooman!โโWait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?โ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old womanโs sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. โI mean, I donโt object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, butโฆโ She faltered a
Florence called half an hour later to tell him where theyโd be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadettaโs care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.โItโs so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?โ he moaned. โIโm sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. Youโre a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? Iโm sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dogโs welfare to think things through. She didnโt mean it. I can vouch for
Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensembleโblack leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, โYou brought all the stuff I told you to?โโYo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. Iโve got all the preparations down pat. You can check โem if you donโt trust me,โ Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. โSee? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.โAfter a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. โBoss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that youโre gonna call me โbossโ while youโre there?โJavier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It
Javierโs suspicion turned to Constance Hellmanโs white Pomeranian. He turned to the directorโs office and met the dogโs eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangsโbeaming as smugly as a teacherโs pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the bossโs favoriteโmade it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javierโs gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, โIโm just your average dog! Nothing to see here!โAnd then it feignedโyes, feignedโa yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. โWhat. The. Actual. F*ck?!โ Javier thundered in his mind. โB*tchโs a natural actress! Whatโs it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?โIn combination with Russellโs report, the incident inside the directorโs of
As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.โOh, baby, whatโs the matter? Did you hurt your leg?โThe white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constanceโs concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. โMr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I canโt help doubting your motive now.โIโm skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when youโd even hit a cute dog!โJavier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, โMadam Hellman, I didnโt do anything!โConstance asked angrily, โYou didnโt do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!โJavier was in distress as well. โHow would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
