When you careYou'd do anythingEven if it's too much- PercyI was upset when Grady told me about what happened to Jacqueline, me and my team had just gotten back from our mission for our sister, Ella. Though I'm glad Grady was there for Jacqueline, somewhere deep inside me regret the time of not being there for her. Holding Jacqueline in my arms, I let her nap the afternoon away in my embrace. There's nothing I want more than to keep her safe. Grady was out in the living room, trying to juggle between Ella's issue and Jacqueline's. I wanted nothing but to help him, yet I was not letting her go through this alone. I need her to feel safe, I couldn't imagine what she must've gone through this afternoon.The day went by fast. After a quick dinner, Grady and I were back to handling Brice and Ella's issue. Both of us went back and forth to my brother's room, attending to Jacqueline's needs. Waited on her trying to get her to rest and eat, she was looking cozy in Grady's hoodie and just
Savior or in this case saviorsYou think you need them?Think again, cause I do- JacquelineThe next day, Percy decided that he would accompany me to my place while Grady rest from the gunshot wound. He hadn't had much sleep and I was worried and glad when Percy suggested it. We were driven by two go guards, one stayed back at the car, and another one came up with us to my unit. I felt it was unnecessary, but I was not going to mention that to Percy who looked uptight already from the situation with Ella and now me. Hearing about Percy's explanation of what happened yesterday, I didn't think Ella was deep in shit. I know she was happy with Brice and I was surprised when I saw her ring, I congratulated her and told her we will set up a date to celebrate with Benji and Gemma. I was a bit disappointed for not being able to talk to her more, but I assumed she was still in a bad place and needed time with her fiancé. "Jacqueline?" The familiar voice made my gaze go to the kitchen wher
Calm before the stormMaybe it's only a sayingBut I'm not one to deny- JacquelineTwo nights later we were relaxing in Grady's bed, we have been doing this threesome thing for a couple of times already that I know we're compatible in ways I'd never imagine. "That day when my PA called saying you text, informing me that you were in danger I lost my shit. I had to take care of Ella, yet you're in danger without anyone there for you." Grady spooned me from behind, caressing my hip, licking and sucking my shoulder while he was retelling me about the day he swoop in to save my ass. "Your PA was keeping your phone? No, Grady, what if I decided to send my nudes there!" I acted all scandalous and he laughed pulling me to face him.Percy had excused himself moments earlier, telling Grady he needs to follow up with work and he'll be in their home office. I get that they work like crazy, but I felt that I miss Percy not being here, in bed with us. Greedy bitch. My mind still wanders to Perc
When conflict arisesTry to explainEmphasize on trying- Jacqueline"Babe, what's wrong?" I can hear Kayne's words pulling me out of my trance from looking at Grady and Percy."Eh, yeah, Kayne will you accompany Benji for me? I need to talk to my friend's brothers." Benji look at me questioning as if suddenly he heard me telling Kayne about my friend's brothers then wonder why were Ella's brothers were looking at me like they're ready to put me down. "Wait, that's the same Percy from work, wait Grady too, the twin, as in Ella's twin brothers?" And boom, Ben had just remembered about Ella's sex-dripping billionaire brothers. We've met them at the hospital but Benji would forget people's faces sometimes and I realized that he forgot about Ella's brothers. I didn't tell him when we met the last time he helped me with my packing, because we didn't have the time back then. Obviously, not now either. "Benji babe, I'll explain everything, how about a coffee date? I'll call you tomorrow?
Never been jealousNever been needyThere's a first for everything- GradyI've been irritated and jealous since Jacqueline told me about the little loophole in the contract. I cursed at myself for not reading it properly before signing it. I thought Percy and me are meticulous contract experts, I guess we're just too eager to have her.The contract was getting more and more meaningless in our eyes since we wanted her badly for ourselves. And since she mentioned her plan with her boyfriend, we were both determined to find our loophole. I thought we were irresistible that she wanted me, wanted us, and now realized that she valued money more... just like the rest of the world. There's hate bubbling inside of me, and lust was creeping on the back of my mind the second I saw her between who I think one of Ella's neighbors. Percy said that he saw Benji, Jacqueline's roommate when she was packing to stay at our place. I scanned the room and relaxed when I saw her guard nodding his head at
Fear of one's lifeThe thought is worryingToo much is happening- Percy"She's still sleeping?" I asked joining my brother for breakfast after a refreshing shower and a quick change in my bedroom. "I think she's in recuperation, I believe we exhausted her until dawn. A caffeine injection won't even wake her up this early, she's perfectly comatose, looking beautifully spread naked in my bed. "We need your girl to come in and redesign a room for Jacqueline, tell her to fit in the biggest bed for us. If we're keeping her here, she might as well gets her room." I said knowing we still have guests rooms that we don't even use, and money is not going to be an issue for renovations.Grady chuckled and told me that I was jealous because she was still sleeping in his bed. "Yeah, a bit, and I'm trying to make me unjealous by putting Jacqueline in her room where I can play with her even when you're not around and not invade your privacy by creeping in your room and using your shower gel." "D
Can't wait to grow upCan't wait to have relationshipsCan't wait to avoid settling down- JacquelineSince I was a teenager I modeled, busying my days, filling my bank account with money that I don't need. Mom had been adamant that I use my time wisely, education, social gatherings, and occupation where I can make a name for myself. Be noticed, be admired, be a valuable woman who one day men will want as their trophy wife. Just like her.I would look at mom and imagined what will my future be. I was confident that I don't want to be like her. I didn't want to be married to a husband who wants their wife as a decoration to his mansion, married to the kind of man who cheats every time, just because they can. In a way, I think mom loves dad, and it saddened me that I don't think he's on the same page as her.Looking at myself now, I realized that I'm nowhere near content with my life. I'm in my early twenties, I'm gorgeous, almost finished with my degree. I'm rich and I like my job. Bu
When the past is catching upThere's nothing you can do Better to let go and be done- JacquelineThe envelope was there, the realization hits me. I'm never getting out of this situation, I need to tell someone. Will anyone believe me though? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.I took it. My hands were trembling when I tear it open. Same death threats, the same anonymous sender. Anyone can do this to me. Scanning the crowded room, everyone was half-naked some were dressed in sheer beautiful designer dresses. Tonight is the big night, I won't let it get to me. What the...no...no...no!Strong pair of hands covered my mouth and hold my body, my eyes were wild, my hands were trying to get a hold of something, anything! Damn it! Not now...please...please...please!My body struggled, my breaths were erratic, my tears tracing down my cheeks, my heart pounding so hard I couldn't hear anything else.*****"Jacqueline!" "Jacqueline, baby wake up!" I could hear voices calling out my name, they sounded fami
