[JANE]
I tried to hide my flushed cheeks from her. Her words totally embarrassed me, and I couldn’t look at her until I felt her face leaning near my ear again.
"That dress looks good on you," my heart fluttered with her compliment, and I couldn't help but bite my lip to suppress my growing smile. This is so weird. Why is she doing this? I inhaled silently and breathed out to calm myself.
"Thank you," I finally managed to say. I was expecting her to tease me even more, assuming her compliment wasn't real, but all I heard was silence.
"Where is the arrogant Khali Luciano? What did you do to her?" I half jested. Part of me wants to know why she is acting this way. Why is she teasing me? And then complimented me, making my heart flutter, but then she didn’t want me to

[KHALI] Jane asked for a week to make her decision before signing the contract, and I agreed with it. I know this set-up is unusual for her, so it's only fair to allow her ample time to prepare, but it's been about a week, and I haven't heard from her. I decided to call her phone just to see whether she had made up her mind about accepting the contract. Honestly, this isn’t something she can just refuse since her life is on the line. I started to call her phone, but it only directed me to the network operator. Did she change her number? I tried again but received no response. My mind questioned aloud where she was. I hate overthinking things, so I asked Jey for help in contacting Jane. I'm not sure whether she ever blocked my phone number, but it’s absurd if she did. “Dude, can you call Jane’s number? I couldn’t reach her,” I told Jey as soon as she answered my call. “Why? Did anything happen?” Of course, it’s natural for Jey to ask. She’s a person full of curiosity and suspicio

[JANE] ~Flashback~ "Tell me this isn't happening," I huffed on my seat as my dad just told me on the phone that I have to go on a 5-day business trip in Thailand tomorrow. Attending a business meeting is fine for me, but if Nicholas will go with me, and we're going to stay there for 5 days, that will be a big NO for me. There’s no way I can stay there with him. "Girl, what's up? I just got back from Hawaii, and you're in distress again?” Reese Posie flashed me a look of concern after I talked with my dad on the phone. "My dad asked me to go on a business trip with Nicholas to Thailand,” I said, propping the side of my face on the palm of my left hand while my elbow was placed on the desk for support. I glanced at Reese with a dejected expression on my face. "Is this a crucial business meeting?" Reese inquired, pulling the dolphin key chain from her small pouch and wiggling it in front of me. "Look, I got your dolphin key chain! And it's a pink one, just like what you wanted," sh

[JANE] I'm completely exhausted and spent right now. We just met the new investor of our company and his name is Mr. Andrew Bufalino. He is the CEO of ND Telecom, Thailand's largest telecom company. My mind is worn out from constantly preventing myself from exploding during the meeting. We didn't talk about business at all, and I didn't even get to speak for the entire time. Nicholas was the only one who was speaking. They were discussing golf, girls, vices, and everything else that wasn't related to our business. We'll have another meeting tomorrow, and they'll take us on a tour of the company so we can meet the board members. At the very least, I have something to look forward to, for if my presence here is all for the show, I swear to God, I will literally cut Nicholas' throat. "It's nice meeting you, Jane. I'm looking forward to you and Nicholas's wedding," my brows automatically furrowed with what he said, and the idea of me marrying Nicholas disgusted me so much. I glared at

[JANE] "You fucking asshole!” I heard her voice. I tilted my head, and I saw her. Khali! She punched Nicholas in the face repeatedly, which made him stumble on the floor. "Jane, let's go!” She grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room, sprinting down the hallway. It happened far too quickly that it was hard for me to process everything. Why is she here? How did she figure out where I was? I just let her drag me to the elevator and quickly closed it. Nicholas was shouting and coming after us, but he was already late, and the elevator door had already closed. I just stared blankly at the elevator door. Khali was panting beside me. I gulped and felt as if my adrenaline had been depleted. My knees felt weak and started to tremble, but Khali was quick to catch me in her arms. I felt my tears pouring down my cheeks again. Khali stroked my hair as she drew me closer and hugged me tightly. "I'm here. Don't worry. I'll protect you," I heard her murmur. I didn't speak. I just cried

[KHALI] "So, she's the kitten?” My dad asked as I went downstairs. I know he's curious and surely astonished seeing me with a girl since I never introduced any girl to them after Carmine left me. "Yes, dad. She's Jane Terranova, the CEO of JT Telecom," I muttered. "JT Telecom?” My dad questioned as he peered over his glasses at me. I grabbed a sandwich that our house helper had made and bit into it. "Yes, sounds familiar to you?” I asked inquisitively as I swallowed the sandwich. "What a coincidence, I suppose. I think she's the person I'll be meeting tomorrow. Remember when I told you that I'll be representing Mr. Bufalino tomorrow? But I don't understand; why did you bring her here looking like that? Did something happen?" I was surprised by what my father said. What a total coincidence indeed. I guess fate truly goes with me this time. I smirked, finished the sandwich, and grinned at my dad in amazement at what he had said. "I saved her from the perverted asshole. Dad, can

[JANE] "I'm not capable of caring and loving someone, Jane. I'm sorry, but this is me," she said. That hurts. That fucking hurts. My tears were about to fall, but I swallowed the lump in my throat to stop my tears. Please don’t cry. I repeatedly told myself. I can’t break down this time. I can’t let her see that I’m hurting. I need to pretend that this doesn't affect me. My tongue slid on my lips, and I heaved a deep sigh. When I felt my tears halt falling. I mustered all my courage to turn around. I forced an arrogant grin and looked straight at her. "Good, because I don't want to fall for you, too," I managed to utter. She was silent for a while. I didn't let her see the pain inside me. I can pull this off. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke. "Then sign the contract." "Okay," I immediately answered. Since this is what we both wanted in the first place, there is nothing else I can do. She proved that she’s capable to protect me and my company. At least, I can hold on to t

[JANE] By the time I left the dining area, Khali and Mr. Luciano weren’t in the living room anymore. I went upstairs to look for Khali, but all I found was a phone and a note on the bed. . . I got you a new phone in case you need to contact someone - From Khali . . I just found myself smiling with her thoughtfulness. Even if she constantly lets me know that she’s not hearts and flowers kind of person, her actions nevertheless make my heart flutter. There’s really something wrong with me? Why am I attracted to a person who has a commitment issue? Not to mention a person who is a possible sadist and likes to boss me around. I just rolled my eyes on myself and shook my head. “You’re really crazy for this, Jane,” I murmured to myself. I opened the phone and started to look through the contacts. It’s funny that it already has Khali’s number and is already on my speed dial. I have a guess that she might be possessive at some point, but I’m not complaining. I noticed that she got th

[JANE] My phone chimed, and I saw Khali’s name pop up on the screen. . >> From Khali: If you’re looking for me, I’m just here in the garage in the basement. Feel free to do whatever you want in there. Just don’t go out without me knowing “Wow,” I unconsciously muttered. I walked i
