(Jen’s POV) Alright, alright… I know I lied. No need to rub it in, jeez. I’ve already told you why I’m doing this, and so I’m not exactly about to explain myself all over again. But in short, it was my baby’s life we were talking about here, and I’ve already said that I was ready to do whatever it took to protect it no matter what, and so I wasn’t about to listen to a bunch of self-appointed moral police drone on about how despicable my plan to trap Mr. Blackwell was. Anyway, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, want to know what’s new in my life? Well, two days have already gone by, and while my boss and his lawyer, Mr. Aldridge were really trying to do whatever it took to delay my ex-husband’s release date, it became obvious with the rise and set of each day that he was surely going to be a free man by the time the month ended. But thankfully, the contract had been drawn up, and both my boss and I had signed it. It included a lot of clauses—sex, love and a whole lot of

“Sure, Mrs. Blackwell,” I adjusted myself in my seat, giving her my full attention. “What is it that you want to talk about?” All the while I was saying this, I was analyzing her, trying to guess what this serious talk was about that she had waited for her son to leave so she could sink her claws into me to tell me about it.You know, now that I think about it, she could have totally waited for the whole party to be over before cornering me like this, it didn’t matter that my boss and I’s table was quite in a secluded corner far away from people’s curious gaze.It really had to be something very important.“Look, Jennifer…” Adonis’ mother started, “I know that when you agreed to come here tonight, this was the last thing you were expecting.” She admitted softly, surprising me a little bit with the line of conversation we were heading towards. “I know that at the very least, you hoped to meet us, his family alone before jumping into this, that you were imagining a small get together wi

(Jen’s POV)I felt like the world’s worst person, lying to such a powerful man like that and telling him we’d had drunk sex when I knew very well that nothing of that sort had happened.If anyone had asked me a few months ago if I could be this calculative, I would chuckle in amusement and swear on my life that this could never be me, and yet, here I was today.You know, I’ll be very honest. Nothing of that sort had crossed my mind at first… there had been no wicked plots to get my boss into such a situation, but then I’d noticed how my fake fiancé kept chugging down drinks upon drinks after our kiss, and everything had just clicked into place.To think that initially, I was going to seduce him and have sex with him for real so I could pin my baby on him… but now, thanks to my smart thinking, I didn’t even have to anymore.My heart had been in my mouth with fear as he quizzed me on the night after, and I’d told him the weird fabrication. It was funny how after suffering to get him in

(JEN’S POV) “Adonis Blackwell!” My father boomed loudly as he stepped closer to my contract fiancé, letting out that huge boisterous laugh wealthy men usually had, “Seth Morgan, at your service…” He stretched his hand out for a handshake, totally oblivious to the look on Adonis’s face. “Come on Jen, we’re going to be late for that thing.” My boss brushed past my father, completely snubbing him, and my mother for that matter to help me out of my chair. He shrugged off his jacket, wrapping it around my shoulders, and then he reached for my hand. It was only when had finished all of these that he bothered to shoot my parents a look, “Security will escort you two out,” His words to them were short and straight to the point, and right after that he pulled me away with him, heading right for the elevator, but then we heard, “Jennifer, are you really going to let your fiancé treat your parents like this?” Her voice broke at the statement, and to a party that didn’t know any better, they w
