Arianne was about to enter the restroom when someone grab her arm and drag her to the fire exit. Fear enveloped her right away but found relief when she recognized who it was.
"who was that?" Jace said with a scowl surprising her.
"Jace! I don't know what you're saying?" Arianne answered cluelessly.
"the man on your table! Who is it? Are you dating him?" he spat holding her arm firmly.
"that's Trent, a friend of ours! He's Deacon's bestfriend too!" her brows furrowed. So typical of Jace!
After a few seconds of staring at her intensely he quickly let go of her arm and turn away.
"Jace? Can we talk?" she called him hesitantly but hoping he'll hear her.
He turn around with so much hatred in his eyes now. "what for? You already told me everything I need to move on with my life right?" he said bitterly.
"I don't have any idea what you're saying Jace." She said and look down.
The look in his eyes scares her a lot.
"no idea? Okay let me remind you!" he said then close the distance between them. He grab her head and kiss her angrily. It's more of punishing her. She can taste blood and she is not sure whether if it's hers or his.
But after a few minutes, the kiss that was full of untold emotions turned into a passionate one.
By then, she wrap her hands in his neck and kissed him back. She wanted him to feel her affection towards him. And only for him.
The kiss went from rough to smooth with feelings of fondness and longing.
He kissed her more then bit her ear and whisper something. She nodded then walking hand in hand, they head to his car.
They refuse to talk anymore and let their eyes converse with each other.
They were already inside his car when Arianne phone rings.
"hello Dea!?!!"
"Yang, where are you? We've been looking for you!"
"Ohh sorry! I saw a friend and now we're heading home! Don't worry about me Dea!" reassuring him.
"okay Yang just be safe okay?"
"sure Dea! Remember the flight tomorrow huh? I'll meet you all at the airport! Bye!"
Jace thought Arianne is going to go back where she came from.
Maybe she just went here to attend Kristinn and Mason's wedding.
Just when he thought they can have that talk and maybe, finally get a closure perhaps. He shook his head in frustration. He felt so upset that he told himself over and over not to give in to her but still his stupid heart refuse to cooperate.
Jace stop the car in front of a huge building. They both went out of it and Jace gave his key to the valet then he hold her hand and lead her to the elevator.
They walked quietly. Both their minds are wandering into thinking about each other. Both saw warning bells but they ignored it unknowingly.
When they reach the top floor, he led her inside the penthouse unit. He close the door after her then grab her and kiss her hungrily beneath the doorframe.
When he finally let her lips free, he continued to kiss her in the neck down to her breasts while both of his hands starting to undress her leaving just her thong.
He take a quick and closer look at her body then drag her to his room and push her on the bed.
He started sucking and licking her nipples while massaging the other one. His kisses went down and Arianne held her breath when he pull down her thong and started eating her down. She released lots of moan and panting while he keep on doing what he started.
She got shock when he put a finger inside her then after a few seconds, he added another one.
Arianne felt like in ecstasy in this new feeling Jace is introducing to her. He continue pleasuring her until she reach her climax.
Jace then took out all his clothes including his boxer and hurriedly position himself in her.
Arianne's mind wander into dreamland upon seeing him fully naked.
But she came back abruptly into reality upon feeling the searing pain from the penetration. She close her eyes and bit her lower lip. She cant help but let her tears ran down because of the pain.
Jace looked shocked to find out she remain a virgin a few seconds ago. He's pleased thinking that she still manage to remain intact for him.
He felt so happy that he even forgot her mistakes for a while.
All he could think at that moment is to just keep on pleasuring her until she reached her second climax and a few more thrusts he then followed.
After he calm down, he held her close to him and let her rest for a while in his arms before kissing her in the head.
He get up after a few seconds which earn a disapproving look from Arianne.
He smile at her reaction. "i'm just going to help you clean up baby!"
When he came back from the bathroom with a towel on his hand, he gently clean her up.
Without any words spoken between them, their eyes met.
Jace felt something strange.
Could it be that he still feel something for her? Or is it possible, that what he felt in the past for her, is still there and never really left him?
He shook his head in confusion.
He return to the bathroom to clean up himself and prepare to sleep.
He decided to wait for tomorrow and make that talk with her.
When he see her already sleeping, he stroke her face with his fingers.
He can't deny how much he missed her.
And now he's thinking that maybe he can give them another chance.
Hopefully, after a sincere talk they can resolve the issue of her disappearance several years ago.
She better has a good explaination then.
He smile thinking and hoping that tomorrow they can try to go back to where they left off.
After an hour of trying to get some sleep and failed, Jace decided to wake up Arianne so she can help him put himself to sleep.
He started biting and kissing her in the shoulder.
"Jace I'm sleeping!!!" Arianne whined. She still look so adorable when she does that Jace thought to himself.
"I can't sleep! Help me babe please!!?!"
"just close your eyes and keep your mind from thinking anything!" she said sleepily.
Jace shake his head grinning naughtily then kissed her seductively. After some moment, Arianne gave in.
He made love at her twice after that then he decided to sleep snuggling to her tightly.
Jace got startled by the sound of his phone ringing. He look to his side and found Arianne still sleeping peacefully.
"hello?" he answered while walking into the terrace.
"Buddy, I just called to remind you about our meeting with the Livingston's. Their assistant informed me that there will be change of plans instead of tonight, they moved it to 12, so we could also have lunch there!" His friend and assistant Joey said.
"No problem I'll be there! Just don't forget to bring all the necessary documents we need for the signing!"
"Okay! And lastly, who is that pretty lady you're with last night? My friend Mitch saw you two from the club going to your car, huh? He said she's hot!"
"Of course you know me, I only settle for hot ladies dude!" he can't help but smile upon the thought of the woman who was still sleeping in his bed.
"sure Jace! But seriously, Mitch said she looks familiar..."
"She's my ex-girlfriend actually and we just hook up for closure you know!?" cutting Joey from any follow-up questions.
"Ohh poor girl! But why need closure? Is she really that good that you still need a closure when you can just leave her and get another one?"
"Yeah I guess! But things between us became badly complicated that's why we need to have a closure because you know she's friends with my friends and I don't want to make things more difficult when there would be time that we have to face each other again in front of our friends. That's just it!"
"Yeah I get it now! Anyways, see you later Mr. Keller?" Joey then said teasing him.
"Sure! Bye!" he chuckle and cut the call.
As the call ended, he look at the time and see that it still early so he decided to have a little sleep before waking Arianne for breakfast and for their much-awaited "talk".
Arianne's POV I woke up to Jace talking on his phone about his "ex-girlfriend" and the supposed to be closure for them. But how could that be? I am the ex that a few hours ago had surrendered herself fully to him. How can I be so stupid to think that in giving him my virginity, he will give us and our "love" a second chance? Closure? Yeah I guess that's what we really need! Maybe it's for the best if we at least be civil to each other. He's totally right, we have mutual friends and it'll be hard for us to ignore each other everytime we cross path. But seriously, I don't wanna be friends or civil with him. Jace is my first love. And I made a promise before that "I will love him, understand him and wait for him" until the end. Maybe I'd be a fool to say it now. But I think, only for him, I can let myself be broken and shattered by, ag
Arianne's pov After I send off Deacon, Mico and Trent at the airport for their flight, I decided to hit the mall. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to such place. I randomly look and bought some outfits that I will surely need for the future. I mean I’m planning to go to uni again so at least I needed some more decent outfits. After I’m done shopping, I excitedly look for a restaurant to have dinner. Few minutes later I enter an Italian resto, I took a table on the corner and ordered my all-time favorite, spaghetti bolognese. And when my food arrives, I happily dig into it. I don’t know what came through me but when I turn my eyes to scan my sorrounding, near the entrance, I got surprised to see him, Jace, looking like a handsome devil as usual. Sadly, he’s not alone. He’s on, I think, a date with a gorgeous blonde. My goodness
Arianne received emails from different colleges and universities. No wonder they wanted her, she graduated magna cumlaude of her batch. Sadly she find it hard to choose where to go, seems like everything is, if not too far then it's too good to be true. She felt so confuse about her studying again. Maybe it's because for several weeks, she's not feeling fine. Her father told her to relax and let things takes it's course. Today, she decided to end her laziness. She get up in her bed and go to her bathroom to have a shower. She's already putting on her underwear when she see her sanitary pads on one corner and remember her period didn't come yet. But she's regular. She gasped when thinking that maybe, just maybe! Her heart beats tremendously fast. She now remember Jace never use protection! And they do the deed for several times. Shaking her head in e
Arianne's pov Five years later.... "Tara! Come down now if not, I'm going to get you myself!" I yell on top of my lungs to my four year old daughter. Years have gone so fast my daughter and her brother are all little grown up now. Seems like yesterday that I don't know what to do with them. I've read many books on how to take care of newborn especially in my case, they're twins. But in reality, nothing could define or explain how difficult it is. First, change the diaper of Jacob my son or feed my daughter Tara because she's already crying out loud which she does a lot of times. Yeah, I have twins. My son Jacob was seventeen minutes older to his sister Tara. My father has helped me go through with my pregnancy. He didn't leave me and gave me a comfortable pregnacy life and even after I gave birth. That's
Arianne’s pov I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I feel excited and nervous at the same time. Today, our company's new CEO and owner, Mr. Jace Keller will gonna come to our office to check for everything. He's a hands on boss remember? My mind can't figure out how will I act in front of him? Does he still hate me? Worst, does he still remember me? Feeling upset and frustrated, I go to the bathroom and take a shower to let myself calm down. Then after I put on my robe and wrap my hair with a towel, I make my way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. My kids wants a heavy breakfast so I made fried rice with some sausage. I prepared them hot chocolate, and coffee for me and my dad. When I’m done, I wake them up and wash them. Then after dressing both of them, I lead them to the breakfast table. Gladly, I
Arianne's pov I just got out of the bathroom after I tucked my kids in bed when I heard my phone ringing. “hello?” I answered without looking on the caller id. “Yannaaaa!!!!!” “hi to you too Lexi! How are you?” I just know the voice! Good thing she called up because I was about to do it also. “I’m good! I have an announcement! Gc gc gc gc now!” she said excitedly. “okay! Go call K then!” I said laughing at her antic. I quickly open our group chat on my laptop. Me: “well hello there!” K: “Yanna mama! I missed you and my babies too!” Lexi: “how are you doing guys? How’s married life K? Is it still roses and wines everywhere?” K: “So far so good! oohhh! I have an announcement!😊” Me: “okay I think both of you have! C’mon! Spill it!”
Arianne's pov “Good morning Ms. Miller! The boss' secretary instructed me to tell you to go straight to Mr. Keller’s office once you arrived.” Miss Porter told me when I walk inside of the building. I shook my head in confusion. I hope it’s not about our “thing in the past”. But I already found someone to assist him? And it's just monday. Whatever! With fingers' crossed in my mind, I find my way into his office. I nodded to his secretary, Mr. Fowler when I arrived. “he’s inside, you can go directly Miss Milleŕ!” he said nervously which made me frown. I bet working with his boss does not seem to be that easy huh? Or maybe because he's not a woman! Well, atleast that one over there will gonna last a little longer I assume. I smirk at that thought. I knock on the door and heard him saying come in. “Miss Miller, I don’t think Miss Johns
Arianne's pov “Miss Miller come to my office!” I heard his voice over the intercom. I quickly leave my post and went to his office. “Sir?” I said as he motioned me to have a seat. “I’m afraid we’re going to our main headquarters for a couple of weeks or maybe a month or two. Starting on Monday, the renovation of this building will gonna start. So start informing all the department heads that we’ll gonna do our work in the main office.” I just nodded and write down his order. I feel very exhausted already from all those orders he kept on barking and most of all, the way he acts in front of me is so confusing. Like one minute he's this bossy, arrogant and very demanding CEO then next thing he will look at me as if assessing every shred of my existence.There are times that I just want to leave this situation by resigning but I love my job, in HR, and not being his assistant.
