[KHALI] "Okay. What the hell was that, dude?” Jey asked in disbelief. I was left dumbfounded the moment Jane walked out the door, pulling Reese out of the room. I couldn't even comprehend what Jey was asking me. I didn't know how to answer her. Everything happened so fast. The last thing I remember was being enraged to see that guy so close to Jane, so I took her here to my private room, which I owned and designed, and to which Jey and the rest of my family have access.  "I didn't expect that. You should have warned me!” Jey paced back and forth, and I closed my eyes irritably. I admit that I was mad, but I never expected that my anger would lead us to this. I felt confused. As far as I can remember, Jane pulled me in first. She initiated it; she kissed me first. It's not my fault! I just got carried away with how her lips pressed to mine, how her scent made me go wild, and how those feline eyes seemed like looking into my soul. She makes me go

[JANE] Fuck. What did I just do?! After what happened to us inside my office, fear had consumed every part of me. I’m terrified of my own feelings and not solely because of her. I feel like my feelings would betray me at any moment, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control them.  I was just staring blankly at the door where she left. "Shit! This is so wrong,” I chewed my lip as I swallowed thickly, feeling the lump on my throat. Panic set in. I have no idea what will happen next, and I have no plans to find out because it could turn out to be something unexpected.  I need Reese right now; I need my best friend. I fumbled with my phone as I tapped her name from my contacts list. I felt like something was rolling around inside my stomach, and I would throw up at any time. I felt horrible and miserable. Not just because I had sex with Khali, but also because it happened in my office. I felt ashamed of myself. I let her

[JANE] I watched them as they walked out of the club. I wonder what happened between Reese and Jey. I don't care about Khali – she can fuck whoever she wants. I don't care. Why am I pissed anyway? I sighed and looked on my side to find Reese almost chugging down her drink. "Whoa! Easy, girl!” I commented as my eyes widened in her action. She exhaled sharply as soon as she finished her glass and aggressively slammed it on the table. I felt worried about my best friend after she came back with Jey, as she was acting strangely. "Are you okay?” I asked in concern. I felt the urge to ask what happened. Nicole was also concerned and wrapped one arm around my best friend's shoulder. I guess alcohol made her possessive. "Reese Posie, what happened?” I held her arm to stop her from drinking again. Alcohol isn't a panacea for everything. She needs someone to talk to. "Nothing," she murmured monotonously. I scoffed and pursed my lip. Of

[KHALI] Have you ever felt betrayed by someone you loved the most? It felt like thousands of needles striking simultaneously to your heart, you couldn't breathe, and all you wanted to do was to end your life because how could you be so stupid?   ~Flashback~   I was on my way to visit my girlfriend in her condo. It was our second anniversary, and I was planning a surprise for her. Carmine and I first met in college. She was known as the ice queen because no one had ever been able to ask her out. She declined all of them. That time, I had a crush on her. She's so pretty, smart, flawless, an alpha female. You know that someone who is so intimidating, looking so powerful – that someone who always wants to be in charge and never wants to be dominated.  That's so fucking sexy to me. Her complexion is as white as snow and as smooth as porcelain; even Snow White couldn’t keep up with her visuals. Carmine is the

[KHALI] “You did the right decision. Okay, girlfriend, where do you want to go?” I asked her. I love to tease Jane, and I love to see how her cheeks would turn red, despite her trying to keep her straight face. "Anywhere, away from here," she said. I grinned and blurted out the first thing that sprang to mind, "All right, let's travel to Hawaii." I laughed when I saw her shocked face. I never thought that Jane Terranova would be easy to deal with this time. I’m not saying that she’s easy to get. Maybe I just got lucky that we both have the same goal – to get rid of Nicholas Terranova. "What?! Hawaii? I mean just within the country! I can't leave my job!" she yelled at me and was about to punch my arm. Seriously, those cute little hands can’t hurt me.
