22Bethany's eyes widened in shock as their lips met. That was the last thing she expected that moment. The world around her seemed to have frozen as he opened his eyes and caught her gaze. His blue orbs giving her a tinge in her stomach.He moved his hand to the back of her head and drew her in, deepening the kiss.Bethany closed her eyes and kissed him back. The both all of them were lost in the moment, feeling an intensity growing in them.They wanted more of each other which was alarming. They shouldn't want each other. It was forbidden but they wanted more.Bethany knew she shouldn't go ahead, but it was as if she was being controlled by an invisible force. Jordan had a little voice in his head reminding him of the implications, but he wasn't ready to let go.He missed the savory of her lips. It was just as he remembered. The memory of their time together a year ago. How intense and passionate they kissed as if they have being in love with each other for a very long time even tho

Jordan walked to her and looked at her hurting leg. "You do know how to hurt yourself a lot."She frowned and looked at him, "Well, thank you for caring." she said out sarcastically. Seeing the cut on her leg, she winced in pain. "This hurt!"Jordan helped her to seat and looked at her leg, "Not a big cut but hold on, I will go get the first aid for you."He went to get a little first aid kit and quickly, he was back with it. He disinfected the cut and dressed the wound."I never knew you cared this much after you sent me out of your room for trying to show concern and you locked me out for a week." Bethany pouted."I am only doing what I ought to do. Besides, this chair belongs to me. I don't care at all. And next time, becareful were you step your feet to. I don't want my furnitures breaking because of you." he replied firmly."You always get your way with words. You are arrogant." she muttered and looked away with a frown.

Jordan pulled over in front of a penthouse. Bethany looked around and gave him a questioning look."Don't worry, this belongs to me. There is no other place to stay in before we get back to my town." he said to her and came out of the car.Bethany looked at the luxurious building one more time before she came out of the car carrying a sleeping Sebby.She went after Jordan who went into the house. "Make yourself comfortable. Take whatever you want." he said to her in a tired and low voice. "There are five rooms here, pick anyone for yourself." he added and entered a room.Bethany couldn't stop admiring the house. If there is one thing she is glad about is her forgetting her sorrow that moment and replacing it with awe.Just as he said, she entered a room and her mouth dropped. Jordan has a good sense of design. The room was luxurious and everything looked expensive. Although compared to his main house, the penthouse is nothing. I

Bethany heart skipped a bit and her face turned red. Did he just said he was thinking about the day they first met which was special? She wondered and bit her lips.Lowering her head, she asked, "Is it special to you?" Jordan tsked and leaned on the wall. "Did your heart skipped when I said that?"She gazed at him and looked away. "No.... Why should my heart skip?""Then why are you eager to know and also avoiding my gaze?" He went on to further tease her, enjoying her reactions. "I am not avoiding your gaze and I just want to know. You said it was special so why wouldn't I be eager to know why it is special to you."He smirked and crossed his arms. "Not avoiding my gaze? You are doing that now."Bethany sat on the bed and pretended to be patting Sebby even though he wasn't crying anymore. She couldn't raise her head to look at him cause he was purposely making it hard for her and she so wanted to curse him but had no

Emilia began to pray in her heart that her daughter comes out. They can't lose the house they labored and worked hard for.Their life haven't being all good and nice and they lost a lot of things on the way. Their only hope for the most important property, which was their house was Bethany.Jordan kept looking at the time waiting patiently for the given minutes to elapse. Bethany wasn't showing any sight of coming down to them.The ten minutes was their most tensive time as they kept looking towards Bethany's room for any sight of her."Times up. No sigh of her and that means losing......""I am here." Bethany uttered, walking out of her room. "You said we need to talk," she said to Jordan, "Then we will talk and I will put an end to my pain and misery right now."Jordan smirked as he stared at the new bold lady before him. That was the woman he knew.Bethany walked to them, "Do you mind if I seat here?" she asked Jordan
