The guards obeyed the instructions given to them. Mark took off his t-shirt and knelt on the sofa, pouncing at her.Suddenly, the entrance to the private room burst open with a bang. Several uniformed bodyguards stormed in at once and took control of the people inside the room.Among them, a man in a grey suit made his way inside from the doorway.The people who had been engrossed in watching the show were taken aback.Infuriated by the repeated interruption, Mark bellowed at the intruders angrily. “Who are you? How dare you barge into the private room?”Jayden’s face was devoid of any warmth. He ignored him and gestured to one of his men. Soon, a guard approached and mercilessly struck Mark’s face, disfiguring it completely.“Ow!”An icy, yet familiar, presence enveloped Nina. With her heart stuck in her throat, she found herself face-to-face with the last person she expected to see. Before she could fully comprehend the situation, Jayden draped his jacket around her and pulled her i

“You know,” she started, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, “we could make use of this private spot, too.” Jayden’s eyes glinted playfully as he looked forward to it. “Is that so?” he said, his voice low and husky. Nina leaned in and met his lips with eager enthusiasm. Their breaths mingled, creating a symphony of shared desire. Her lips were soft, and he could even taste the dessert she had eaten for breakfast. He took charge and deepened the kiss. Their tongues danced in sync, exploring the depths and every corner of their mouths.Nina slid her hand from his neck, down to his waist, reaching for his zipper, and pulling the latch down. She slowly crouched down and knelt in front of his muscular and long legs. She maintained her calm facade despite her thundering heart.Jayden felt his breath tighten and his throat rolled with intent. He looked at his woman kneeling in front of him and grabbed the crook of her neck. He stuck his tongue out, licking the dry parts on his lips, a

The number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later… The cold mechanic voice rang from the other end. “Why can’t I get through this damned man!?” Nina grumbled, running her fingers through her hair. She dialed his number in an attempt to get through one last time. Perhaps the heavens finally heard her plea, and the man answered her call. “Yes?” Jayden’s voice broke through. Nina swallowed, almost forgetting why she had called him. “Umm… are you busy? If not, I’ll call you later.” “It’s fine. What’s up?” “Elysium Couture has organized an event tonight, and it’s really important for me. Can you accompany me there?” “Tonight? I have important work to attend to later. I don’t think I’ll be able to make it,” he responded, his voice lacking any enthusiasm. Nina’s shoulders slumped and her grip on her cell phone subconsciously tightened. Though she had imagined his response, his words still shattered her hopes with disappointment. “Not even for half an hour?” “Nope.” “It’

Stunned by his words, Alyson’s mouth opened wide in shock, as she could not believe her ears.What?How could Nina be one of the chief designers at Elysium?She looked at them in disbelief.Due to Victor’s overpowering aura, she started to panic and murmured apologetically with her head lowered.“Mr. Lavigne, I apologize if I have offended you. It’s just that Nina hasn’t been home for the past year, and there have been rumors circulating about her becoming someone’s kept woman. I thought those rumors were true when I saw her at this event. Considering her circumstances, it seemed impossible for her to be here otherwise.”To salvage the situation, she looked at Mr. Johnson pleadingly.Victor looked at her coldly. “You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading unfounded rumors about someone’s character. Nina’s talent and dedication have earned her a place on this stage. Since you don’t know anything, it’s better to keep your mouth shut.”Mr. Johnson promptly approached Victor and Nina

Dear Readers, Please refrain from giving low ratings just because of the update schedules as it affects the overall quality of the books. I'd rather you rate the book based on something constructive that would help me improve my work. Please understand that I already have a lot on my plate. Being busy with college, assignments, internships, etc. Hence the slow updates. As compensation, I will begin with the mass release of the chapters starting next week. Until then, don't forget to leave your votes and comments under the chapters. You can also check out my other book titled, "Trouble with the Devil" which is also available on Goodnovel. xoxo~
