The room was cloaked in darkness, with a faint light streaming through the night lamp. As the bed beside her sunk, her fingers subconsciously tightened around the bedsheets. A faint fragrance of sandalwood suddenly invaded her senses, and Jayden pressed her under him. Nina was pretending to be asleep, but after being crushed under his weight, her eyes flew wide open. “Not pretending anymore?” He looked at her with his two good-looking eyes. “W-What are you doing?” Nina felt she must be stupid to ask such an obvious question. Jayden’s body was pressed against hers, and she could feel the changes in his body. A light chuckle escaped from the man’s thin lips and his low, seductive voice rang in her ears. “Something that adults do.” He bowed his head and just as he was about to kiss her, Nina evaded it and his lips landed on her cheek. Jayden squinted his eyes and lifted her chin. He did not give her time to move, and his lips landed on hers. Her lips were soft and as sweet as he
Furious, Nina stood up angrily and pointed at him. “Could you please listen to me first? I’m not running away from you or this marriage. This place is located on the outskirts of the city and is almost a few hours away from the college. There are no taxis or cabs available nearby either. Next month I would enter the internship period. Do you expect me to spend my entire day traveling back and forth?” “There are dozens of cars parked in the garage. Take whichever you want with you.” “How’s it the same? Do you have any idea how much time would it take me to travel?” “Not my business.” Nina was speechless. “Then don’t even bother about where I live. Also, I’ve agreed on this marriage because I’m grateful to you for saving me and want to give this marriage a try. But that does not mean you can intimidate me or boss me around. If you want this marriage to work, then you should learn to respect your partner, too. If you can’t even do the bare minimum, then don’t blame me for pushing you
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
