Jessica's POVSunlight streamed across my face, waking me with a warm flush on my cheeks.I'd dreamt of entwining with Zander all night. Perhaps it was a sign of how long it's been since I've been intimate.Suddenly, I heard soft breathing beside me, and as I moved, aches spread throughout my body.The soreness between my legs told me this wasn't just a dream.Shit! All I could recall was drinking with Genevieve. I had no memory of how I got back. Did I sleep with a stranger after getting drunk? I propped myself up and looked over to see Zander sleeping soundly, his familiar face causing a flurry of panic in my heart.Almost reflexively, I rolled out of bed and quickly grabbed my clothes. Ignoring the aches, I stood up hastily, not even bothering with shoes, and fled the room in a panic.On the drive to work, my mind kept replaying what had just happened, filled with embarrassment and confusion.I was supposed to be drinking with Genevieve. How did Zander show up?As I neared the offi

Jessica's POVThe key phrase "J&Z General Hospital" from Alexander's words struck me like a bolt from the blue. I froze instantly. The classmates around me began discussing fervently."I heard this general hospital project is being prepared by Harrison Group as a gift for his beloved," one said."Mr. Harrison is known for his cold and ruthless demeanor, but it turns out he's such a passionate man at heart. J&Z, the name itself sounds like it's derived from the initials of two people's names," another chipped in."Which Mr. Harrison are they talking about?" someone asked, confused."Are you drunk? How many Harrisons in Los Angeles can afford billions? It's obviously Zander Harrison," came the reply.J&Z, a name I knew all too well. I had once told him about my dream to build a large hospital to help more patients. When Zander planned this, I had no idea, and now it seemed the hospital was meant for someone else.I wasn't sure if he had found a new love so soon, but it was clear it wasn

Jessica's POVI sat at the table, which seemed lively but was actually unbearable to me. The noisy and chaotic atmosphere surged towards me like a torrential tide, threatening to completely submerge me. An inexplicable sense of oppression and irritability spread in my heart like weeds.When the crowd heard the question, they instantly became a swarm of headless flies in disarray. They all clamored at me, "Although this topic is rather inappropriate, we are really curious. Jessica, how did your husband pass away?"I glanced at Zander, whose face clearly showed his displeasure. I snorted in my heart. He and I were divorced. Why should I care about his feelings? Moreover, the painful memories he brought me over the past year were like deep scars etched in my heart. How could I forget them easily?Before I could speak, Genevieve stepped in. "He was good to Jess at first, but as soon as the novelty wore off, he cheated immediately. Some women nowadays have no shame, seeing a wealthy man an

Zander's POVAs my words fell, everyone at the table froze instantly, as if the entire space had been paused. The atmosphere solidified into ice. Naturally, everyone understood that I was threatening. The oppressive silence spread like a tidal wave, enveloping everyone.Life after the divorce has been like a long, painful nightmare for me. Jessica vanished so resolutely, traveling and relaxing with Genevieve as if she had forgotten everything we once had. I, on the other hand, was trapped alone in the ruins of our broken relationship, unable to extricate myself.When Tawny invited me to this banquet, I immediately refused. What a ridiculous class reunion! However, when Dwayne reported back to me and mentioned the name of the school, it was Jessica's alma mater. That lingering attachment deep within my heart, like a spark in the darkness, drove me here.Yet, I never expected that when Jessica saw me, her gaze was as if looking at a stranger. Her indifference felt like a heavy blow to m

Zander's POVA strange panic gripped me as my intense kisses ignited a desire within me. I longed for Jessica, yearned to possess her. Unlike the last time, this time my heart was filled with a desire to destroy. The strange tingling sensation gripped my body once again as I began to get rougher. The soft, gentle kisses turned hard and rough. Warmth spread through me as I pressed my chest against hers. The thundering heartbeats set a new life in me."Wait," a small, breathless whisper escaped her lips as she tried to stop me, but there was no going back now. I pulled away for a moment and then stared down at her bare breasts exposed under my wicked grasp. "I said, you can only be mine," I said as I wrapped a hand around her throat and pushed her against the headboard on the sheets. A loud scream escaped from her lips as my tongue dipped between her legs. Clearly, the sudden excitement and pleasure almost sent her over the edge. Her hips thrusted in a steady rhythm against my mouth. I
