Jes's heart stopped when Raphael Andrew had called her 'Jes' instead of Emily but the moment he turned around and faced her, Jes's heart almost burst out of her chest. There he was. . . The man Jes had left in the pages of her past. . .Nathan~Standing there, looking at her with a fire burning inside his hazel eyes. A gust of breath left from Jes's lips. . .The feverish look in Nathan's eyes was unnerving. He looked like a feral animal, ready to attack her at any moment. His fists were clenched at his sides. His eyes were bloodshot, his jaw was locked. Jes can see that he was grinding his teeth.His brown hairs were combed backward. Even with a good style beard, Jes was still able to make out his sharp jawline. He was wearing a well-tailored suit.Jes could not take her eyes off him, not even if she wanted to. Her eyes were glued to his movements. She just stood there, staring

"You are acting weird today." Sage noticed."No, I'm not!" Jess countered a little too fast. Sage raised a brow at her answer."Then why aren't you coming with me to lunch? You have been holed up in this tiny office not even once you came out." Sage accused."It's just that I have a lot of pending work." Jes tried to defend herself and technically that wasn't a lie. She did have a lot of work."You know that you can tell me anything right?" Sage asked in a coaxing tone, seeing straight through her friend's bullshit."Of course I know that." Jes gave her a gentle smile."Then why the fuck aren't you telling me what is wrong with you? Look here, bitch! I hate it when someone lies to me. So spill before I torture the truth out of you." Sage banged her hands on Jes's desk, startling her. Gosh! That woman was short and wild.It was almost lunchtime and Sage came to take Jes for lunch but Jes was

Jes gulped when she saw the burning intensity in Raphael's eyes.She felt like a deer trapped in a lion's cage."Sneaking food in the theaters, faking a pregnancy, partying in the club, approaching strangers for one night stand, you have got quite hobbies besides running away from me Miss Emily." Raphael said in his husky voice while crossing his arms over his chest. His eyes shining with amusement. It looked like he was trying very hard not to burst into a fit of laughter.At that moment Jes realized that she can't run away from this situation. She had to face the consequences of her actions.But that doesn't mean that she had to face them now. Especially after the humiliating encounter with the Demi-God Turning around when Jes tried to open the door Raphael's hand banged against the door keeping it close. He was extremely close. Jes can feel the heat coming out of his body. Her breath hitched when Raphael's warm breath f

Lucas grimaced when Raphael placed his glass of whiskey back on the table with a thud.Raphael shot Lucas a look, clearly telling him to suck it up. It was the first time Raphael had gotten a taste of rejection, rejection from a woman he had waited for so long. He never knew that rejection tasted this bitter. All of his life Raphael had been wary of the people who were friendly to him but you can't really blame him, if you had gone through what he had survived then you would be paranoid too. It was normal for Raphael to be annoyed or feel paranoid when someone approached him but that was not the scene with this woman. This certain woman whom he can't get out of his mind. For the first time in his life, Raphael was feeling annoyed because a woman had rejected him. Firstly Raphael had thought that Jes might be uncomfortable after knowing that he was among the top 10 most eligible Billionaire Bac

Jes opened her eyes slowly and then closed them again. Her eyes felt so heavy and her head felt like someone had hit the back of her head with a hammer.Jes rolled on her extremely soft bed. Wait! Soft?This didn’t feel like her bed, it was too comfortable to be her bed. Abruptly Jes opened her eyes to look around. She wasn’t in her room, this room with an elegant yet dry black and white theme wasn’t her room.Jes raised the blanket from her body and gasped when her eyes fell on a men’s t-shirt. She patted her body, good thing she was still wearing her bra and panties, and the bad thing, she had no idea how she ended up here.The last thing she remembered was drinking with Sage.Where the hell was Sage? Getting up from the bed Jes’s eyes fell on a man’s slippers. She didn’t waste any time in putting them on. She grabbed her cell phone and bag from the side table but before she could leave her eyes fell on something below the pillow. She lifted the pillow, 'HER' by Pierre Alex Jeanty
