I wasn’t even finished saying that as he was quick to maneuver the car. He was humming a tune happily. “No, no, I won’t let you change your mind! Let’s go now!” He exclaimed and I chuckled at his enthusiasm. Silence soon followed but I could feel his stares at me. “So? Where are you taking me?” He asked after a while of driving in silence. I just shrugged, “Just somewhere.” He nodded, “I see you like keeping it a secret. That makes me more excited.” I raised my eyebrows, suddenly having an idea in my head. Oh no, Ellaina, your mischievousness is kicking in… “Just turn right in that alley.” I pointed and he did as I ordered him to. I could see that we finally lost the media and we were going to the place I was familiar with... This was where we used to live when we were still not having enough. This is where

I didn’t have any choice but to do as he wanted. I went into the fitting room to change and when I returned, Ajax was already paying a the counter, along with the other souvenir keychains, pins, and all random stuff. And he bought about a hundred. “you bought a lot.” “I’ll be giving this to my family, my workers.” I didn’t know he would be so thoughtful. “We have somewhere to go to right? I; 'll h=just have them deliver m orders.” “You know you could save more money if you bought t another store. this shop isrippingg your money.” “Don’t worry, I have a lot. And think of it as my way of helping this store.” We then walked hand in hand. I pushed his hand away but he was persistent. “Hold me, I might get lost.” I didn’t have any choice

Suddenly, men in suits came.“Get aside. We’ll take a master to the hospital.” They then grabbed his body. I recognized them as the same men as his brother. So they were watching us all this time?“Take me with you.” I approached them and asked, to which they looked at each other.“No-“ another one of them said. “Yes, we’ll take you with us to interrogate you later.” The other bodyguard said, which I know as their leader. They then put Ajax’s body beside me in the SUV and they didn’t waste a second to lead him to the nearest hospital. Damn. I felt so guilty that he was in that state. He was directed to the best room available and I waited outside.Everyone was in a panic, and with the bodyguards, we crowded the waiting room.My eyes felt heavy now, and I looked at the time. 1 am. Usually, I am at the location of my shoots, hungry and busy but now I am in a hospital…I didn’t know that I fel

His lips suddenly formed a smirk and grabbing my hand, he planted a soft kiss on the back, “Come to my place Ellaina. With me, I promise no one can dare to harm you.”I gasped, what? What is this man’s plan?I frowned at him, “Wait a minute, you are suggesting I should live with you…?” I clarified in case I heard it wrong. He nodded, still grabbing my hand with his, “Yes. Until the situation is settled, Ellaina. I am not forcing you, but I am just suggesting the easy way out. I assure you, a guaranteed 100% safety there.”I scoffed, pushing his hand away, “No, it was because of you that I have a dating scandal in the first place. If you didn’t appear in my life like that then I must have just been living and now on my shoots.”And it is too much for me. As someone who came from a conservative family, it’s not normal to live under the same roof with someone that is not your relative or husband. And with Ajax’s case, he is neithe

He didn’t have to finish as I instantly slammed my lips on him, pulling him in shock. He instantly recovered and smirked, “I’ve been stopping myself for days now, Ellaina. I want to lick you and touch you in even more places.”I gulped. Well, at least, that was my imagination but it didn’t happen. Wait, why am I imagining him doing that to me?Am I that stressed to imagine that kind of thing? I shook my head to clear away my thoughts. Instead, Ajax nodded understandingly, going over to me and sitting beside me. He then leaned and I closed my eyes, waiting for his lips but when I only felt cold hair hitting, I opened my eyes to see him looking down. He cleared his throat, “I’m glad you liked it.” He sighed in relief. “Make sure you eat, Ellaina, I’m concerned about your health.” I nodded, but scowled as I realized what he just said, “Concerned? Why would you be concerned?”He sighed, “I asked you, manager, how have you been dealing with anything, and he mentioned that you have some
