Semua Bab The Playboy's Pretend Fiancee': Bab 1 - Bab 6

~This is it.~"I will not involve the police in this," She murmured.It was just a minor problem that could be solved amicably by two mature people.Ximena Claros was going to confront her Spanish neighbour and Hollywood heartthrob, Jason Vidal, to tune down the volume of the dumb punk song blaring out of his obnoxious boombox and she would do that calmly even though her body trembled with outrage.She hopped out of bed, stuck her legs into the fuzzy pink slippers that were by the side of her nightstand and marched to his apartment which was next to hers. Her hands raised to bang on his door, but it went wide open as if he was expecting her.Ximena placed her hands on her waist, and she scowled at him as he scrutinized her.Jason's eyes gleamed when he saw the person at the entrance and he took a moment to also survey her."To what pleasure do I owe the snow princess a visit at," He paused, glancing at the fancy wristwatch he constantly wore.

She didn't even turn to look back at me once." She added.Her lips turned down in disgust as she remembered what had transpired earlier. She might have been delusional to have thought the woman would want to help with whatever she wanted.Yet, she had been disappointed over again.Jason couldn't imagine what she was going through right now. He was glad he had stepped on the break on time as soon as she had jumped in front of his car. He thought of what might have happened if he hadn't.He didn't quite believe she was here until he felt the softness of her skin as he lifted her off the pavement."What brought you to that damned place in the first place?"
