Chapter 91 You Sound Amused

“I took the day off because my best friend got dumped and is at an all-time low right now! I just wanna stay close to her and be there for her, all right?!"He then had the audacity to stay silent for a few seconds before abruptly hanging up."What the hell?" I grumbled.What was his problem? He had been so annoyingly possessive of me lately—just extra possessive in general.I continued with my day and bought breakfast before returning to Summer's place. This girl had been with me every step of the way when I was cheated on, and there was nothing else I wanted more than to do the same for her. Summer was awake when I got back. She was on the couch, hugging her legs and staring blankly ahead. I set the breakfast on the table and went up to her. "You should sleep a little more."Her eyes welled up with tears again. "I can't. All I see when I close my eyes is him showing up with that other woman."I hugged her tightly and sighed. I had no idea how to help her. "Hey, hey. It’ll b

Chapter 92 Close My Eyes and Enjoy the Ride

"I'm not happy at all! I just think crying over an asshole is stupid. He doesn't deserve her tears," I replied and started toward my room again. So many things had happened lately that the last thing I wanted was to argue with Jethro. I took a shower and decided to head to bed early as I’d be returning to my hometown once morning came. The first time I asked for his money, there was at least some form of transaction. This latest 14, 000 dollars was completely uncalled for and shouldn't be accepted.I thought Jethro would find my lack of interest to be mood-dampening. I even hoped it’d be enough to make him leave. But of course, once again, I overestimated the asshole's capacity to walk in my shoes.He showed up in my bedroom, his ass already occupying my bed.I glared at him. "Why are you here? I’d like to sleep. Shoo.""Good. Then we'll sleep together. I'm tired too." Instead of showing anger, he smiled and laid on my bed spread-eagle."If there’s zero reason for you to be here

Chapter 93 I Need to Work Harder

Jethro paused in mid-action with a frown. "I'm sorry, but are you mentally checking out in the middle of sex?"I panicked. I couldn't believe this guy was somehow still perceptive about this while in action. Was he even normal? I avoided his gaze. "No, of course not. I'm enjoying you. Really!""Ni, I don't think you are. Looks like I need to work on this. Work harder."Instead of going to sleep, Jethro cuddled me. His breathing was labored, and for some reason, I felt really content to be in his arms. I kinda wished I could be here every night—Whoa, whoa! What the hell was I thinking?! I shook my head. I had to remember that Jethro and I were an impossibility!"What's wrong?""N-Nothing!"I couldn't tell him what I was thinking. Jethro had reminded me over and over that we could never be together. What would he think of me if I told him?Jethro closed his eyes partially as if he was ready to sleep."I'm going to my hometown tomorrow. I'll only be back by Sunday night."H

Chapter 94 My Useless Bum of a Brother

I watched him get dressed and head to the bathroom. "Getting up already? Don't you wanna sleep in a little more?" I knew he was a workaholic, but it was the weekend. A sane person would gladly catch a few extra hours of Zs. I guess Jethro just wasn’t sane."I'll drive you to the station and sleep some more after." I was surprised. He was waking up early for my sake? Since when did he become this nice?Of course, I was secretly happy. Regardless, I needed to decline. I didn't want him to think I was banking on this to make everyone know all about us—as if I couldn't wait for everyone to mistake us as a couple. "It's fine. I’ll just Uber there."Jethro shot me a quick glance before looking away. "Gimme 10 minutes."I froze. When I snapped back to my senses, I went to the living room and waited with my luggage. In less than 10 minutes, he re-emerged in something other than a formal suit—a white polo shirt and black track pants. I had never seen him in something so leisurely befo

Chapter 95 Stung

I pointed at Sean who was standing behind Mom. "You have to stop unconditionally taking his side, Mom! He's like this because you and Dad pamper him too much! Now he's a burden to all of us!" I didn't give a damn if what I said would ruin our relationship. All I knew was that if he kept this up, the entire family would fold soon enough. "How could you say that about your own brother?!"She was still protecting him. She never cared about my opinion or how I felt. My parents still thought of him as a precious little baby beyond reproach despite what he had become. "I'm saying this for his own good, Mom. He's already in his 20s. He didn't work hard in school, and now he isn't working at all. Why do you even think this is remotely good for him? Do you really think he should live like a parasite?"I had gotten used to the parental bias after 20-odd years of it, but I couldn't stand Sean's entire life philosophy. I just wanted to see him get his act together and help me support this

Chapter 96 The Way My Family Treats Me

I grabbed hold of Mom's hand and squeezed it, hoping she would understand me."I know, Mom, I know. I’ll work hard to get that much money, but we can’t accept this money, okay? It doesn't belong to us."Mom pulled her hand away. "I don't give a damn! It's ours and I'm not giving it back. The man who gave it to us is your boyfriend, isn't he? Why can’t we accept a gift he willingly gave?""He isn't my boyfriend! He's my boss!""I'm not buying that. Why would someone who’s not your boyfriend give us this much money? Unless… You got yourself a super-rich guy and are worried about us being a bunch of deadweights and dragging you down!"I knew she was getting angrier and angrier by the second, but the words she said made my heart sink. I had given so much of myself to this family, and yet this was what she thought of me? Why would I only start to see them as deadweight after so many years?Tears welled up in my eyes. "How could you say that? Haven't I contributed enough? Haven't I car

Chapter 97 My Family Wants Me Out

I stopped for a second, then continued my march out of the room. This family would never stop treating me like an outsider. I could do my best, the most passionate speeches, and no one would care. I sometimes wondered if I were my parents' real daughter.I returned to my room but sleep evaded me. All I could think of were the words Mom had said. Was money really more important to them than I ever was?I tossed and turned. When that failed to lull me to sleep, I pulled out my phone. I thought of calling Summer to ask if she was okay. That was when I saw a text from Jethro, and my heart quivered.[Call me when you reach the station. I'll drive you home.]My heart raced. Why was he being so nice to me? I was part skeptical and part very, very stoked. It was a text from him, after all.I replied, [Got it. Thank you!]That text salvaged my mood. The sky seemed to have suddenly cleared, and I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear. This man might be ruthless, tyrannical, and at times u

Chapter 98 People Might Misunderstand Us

I said nothing. I had nothing to say. I left without even a goodbye. The bus ride was a heavy one. I was no saint and could not stomach the fact that my parents’ heavy bias toward my brother. They were supposed to be the closest people in my life. They meant the world to me, but all they cared about was Sean.As I watched the scenery fly past me, my heart grew heavier. My eyes were red, but I fought back my tears. I told myself that I had gotten used to it and that I shouldn't let something like this wear me down.A few hours later, I finally arrived at the station. I watched the crowd around me and felt so alone. I came to the city, alone, in search of greener pastures so that my family could live better. It had been years, and yet they never seemed to notice what I had done.I didn't call Jethro. I just dragged my suitcase and walked. It was quite a distance away from Verdantia, but I needed to be alone. It didn't take long for me to tire out. My feet hurt. I didn't think I

Chapter 99 You Will Have to Hold It For Now

“Do you think I’m incapable of providing for them?”He was smiling, and there was a rather unfamiliar look in his eyes."They’ve misunderstood the nature of our relationship, Jethro. They’ll just keep asking for more."People liked taking shortcuts, especially people like Sean. I was the one who had to bail his ass for years, but the only thing that did was incentivize him to be even more selfish. He would, without reservation, use Jethro.Jethro observed me as if trying to catch me in a lie. A while later, he smiled. "Are you trying to help me save on money? All the other women wished I’d give them more. You're a surprising exception."I had never heard about any of Jethro's girlfriends, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had a long list of exes. He had been happy to take me in as his sex partner, remember? How much money did his exes ask for?I was curious, but I didn’t ask the question. He never asked me about my personal affairs and we weren’t a couple, so I had no right to pr

Chapter 100 A Man in Heat

I was overjoyed. Jethro had changed his mind without kicking up too much fuss! Since when was he capable of such a thing?"Got it," I replied and bolted out of the door. At Summer's place, she sobbed non-stop like the last time I met her, and I tried to comfort her. I knew pain like this would take time to heal. It had only been two days, and she now looked even more haggard than when I last saw her. Her eye bags were terrible. That piece of shit had cost her sleep.After some time, Summer finally fell asleep in my arms. I got her to her bed, made her comfy, and slept next to her. The last two days had been a grind on me too, and I instantly fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.The next morning, as soon as my alarm went off, I quickly shut it down. I didn't want it waking Summer. She was finally getting the sleep she needed, and I wasn’t going to let some shitty ringing ruin it. I washed up, prepared her a simple brunch, left her a note about it, and left. At work, I
