Jayden felt that his little wife could eat well. Even though she looked thin, her appetite was unbelievably good. Thinking of something, he pulled out a platinum card and pushed it toward her. “If I don’t get a transaction message from the bank, I’ll keep on adding ten thousand dollars every day.” He said. “Cough.” Nina choked on the soup, hearing his domineering words. Before she could comprehend, the doorbell rang. Rick walked towards the dining area, greeting the couple. “Master, Madam, good morning!” “Good morning,” Nina replied. Jayden stood up and took his suit jacket from Ms. Eva. “Let’s go. I’ll drive you to school.” Nina wanted to decline, but Jayden had already walked toward the door. Helpless, she could only grab her bag and follow behind. IDU was only a twenty minutes drive from their apartment. When they drove into the campus area, Nina suddenly asked him to stop. Rick pressed the brakes and pulled over at the side. Nina turned to look at him and said. “Thank you f
"There's nothing troublesome about dressing up and feeling good about yourself," Tyler answered, offering Nina a comforting look through the rearview mirror. He could see the hesitation in her eyes and tried to instill confidence in her. Nina shrugged, her eyes flickering down to her lap. “I just don’t want to deal with people's judgment.” Kaylin leaned in closer, her voice gentle and kind. “Nina, you’re amazing just the way you are. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.” Nina smiled. She didn't respond, but Tyler and Kaylin's words of encouragement put her at ease. --- The Imperial Club was one of the most sought-after bars in Spring City. That evening, the students had reserved a private room for their welcome gathering. The space was dimly lit, and vibrant beams of colored light swayed across the walls. The pulsating rhythm filled the air, quickening the heartbeat of everyone present. In one corner of the room, a bustl
The guards obeyed the instructions given to them. Mark took off his t-shirt and knelt on the sofa, pouncing at her.Suddenly, the entrance to the private room burst open with a bang. Several uniformed bodyguards stormed in at once and took control of the people inside the room.Among them, a man in a grey suit made his way inside from the doorway.The people who had been engrossed in watching the show were taken aback.Infuriated by the repeated interruption, Mark bellowed at the intruders angrily. “Who are you? How dare you barge into the private room?”Jayden’s face was devoid of any warmth. He ignored him and gestured to one of his men. Soon, a guard approached and mercilessly struck Mark’s face, disfiguring it completely.“Ow!”An icy, yet familiar, presence enveloped Nina. With her heart stuck in her throat, she found herself face-to-face with the last person she expected to see. Before she could fully comprehend the situation, Jayden draped his jacket around her and pulled her i
The world slumbered under the embrace of the silent night, its breaths harmonizing with the stillness. Outside, the moon hung brightly as darkness blanketed the landscapes.Jayden sat at the head of the bed; his back propped up against the pillows as he reviewed a document in his hand.The golden frame glasses rested on the bridge of his nose and the sound of flipping the pages could be heard in the serene night. As a workaholic, he couldn't sleep even though it was well past midnight.In his arms, Nina lay peacefully, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. She had been exhausted after their round of passion earlier and hadn’t woken up. As he continued to work, Nina stirred in her sleep but didn’t wake up. Jayden wrapped his arms around her, feeling the softness of her body against his, and pulled her close so that she would stop moving. With his hand caressing her back lazily, he continued reading the document. Another few minutes had passed. Nina curled up even closer t
“You know,” she started, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, “we could make use of this private spot, too.” Jayden’s eyes glinted playfully as he looked forward to it. “Is that so?” he said, his voice low and husky. Nina leaned in and met his lips with eager enthusiasm. Their breaths mingled, creating a symphony of shared desire. Her lips were soft, and he could even taste the dessert she had eaten for breakfast. He took charge and deepened the kiss. Their tongues danced in sync, exploring the depths and every corner of their mouths.Nina slid her hand from his neck, down to his waist, reaching for his zipper, and pulling the latch down. She slowly crouched down and knelt in front of his muscular and long legs. She maintained her calm facade despite her thundering heart.Jayden felt his breath tighten and his throat rolled with intent. He looked at his woman kneeling in front of him and grabbed the crook of her neck. He stuck his tongue out, licking the dry parts on his lips, a
“Sorry, we’re late. Dad, Mom, this is Nina, my wife.” Jayden introduced. William nodded at them. “It’s all right. You’re just in time for the dinner.” On the other hand, Lilian didn't respond and headed straight to the dining hall. The luxurious dining room was adorned with opulence as the Luxton family gathered for dinner. A long table was set for the evening, meticulously arranged, with fine crystal glasses and elaborate floral centerpieces. William sat at the head of the table. On his right were Jayden and his wife, Nina, whereas Lilian sat on his left. As the dishes were served, Lilian cleared her throat. “So, Nina, can you tell us something about yourself? Aside from being Jayden’s partner, do you have any other qualifications? “I’m a student at IDU and currently interning at Elysium Couture,” Nina replied politely. Elysium Couture was one of the leading fashion houses in Country S. They held strict requirements for their employees and for Nina to intern at the company und
The number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later… The cold mechanic voice rang from the other end. “Why can’t I get through this damned man!?” Nina grumbled, running her fingers through her hair. She dialed his number in an attempt to get through one last time. Perhaps the heavens finally heard her plea, and the man answered her call. “Yes?” Jayden’s voice broke through. Nina swallowed, almost forgetting why she had called him. “Umm… are you busy? If not, I’ll call you later.” “It’s fine. What’s up?” “Elysium Couture has organized an event tonight, and it’s really important for me. Can you accompany me there?” “Tonight? I have important work to attend to later. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it,” he responded, his voice lacking any enthusiasm. Nina’s shoulders slumped and her grip on her cell phone subconsciously tightened. Though she had imagined his response, his words still shattered her hopes with disappointment. “Not even for half an hour?” “Nope.” “It’
Nina’s laughter rang through the air, her eyes sparkling with amusement at Victor’s persistent suggestion.Ever since he came across her and her work, he had been nagging her to walk the runway. She appreciated his recognition, but her aspirations lay elsewhere.“Thank you for the compliment,” she replied, her voice filled with genuine warmth. “But I’m more comfortable working behind the scenes. Being the center of attention is not my forte.”Victor’s disappointment was palpable in his expression. He had hoped to showcase her not just as a talented designer but also as an enchanting model, a combination that could elevate her presence in the fashion world.“I understand,” he conceded with a hint of remorse and shrugged. “Everyone has their path, and if yours is to weave magic through your designs, then I respect your choice.”Nina nodded appreciatively, a sense of gratitude filling her heart.“Thank you, Vic,” she said sincerely. “Rest assured, I will continue to pour my heart into my
