CHAPTER 31Jane's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. A part of her wondered if Caleb had told his uncle about her outing with Brian. She didn't respond to Xavier, instead, she quickly finished gathering her things and left the boardroom.She walked to Caleb's office, her mind racing with Xavier's words. As she approached, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Stella stepping out of Caleb's office, a triumphant smile playing on her lips."Well, well, if it isn't Jane," Stella said, her voice dripping with mock. She paused, her smile widening as she took in Jane's expression. "Looks like you've had quite the day.”Jane stood there, her feelings a mix of jealousy and anger. She tried to keep her expression composed but the sight of Stella so excited made her blood boil. "Stella," she acknowledged curtly, trying to hide her irritation.Stella chuckled softly, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Oh, don't look so glum, Jane. It's just business

CHAPTER 33"Are you not going to respond to me, Caleb?" She questioned when he had been quiet for too long. "You can't say anything because I'm right, is that so? You don't even trust me" she scoffed, shaking her head sideways. Caleb ran his fingers through his hair, his frustration palpable. "It's not about trust. Xavier found out. He sent me pictures of you with Brian. If you're caught with more men, it might be confirmed that it's a contract marriage, and it would ruin us."Jane felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. "Is this really about Xavier?" she asked, her voice tinged with sadness."What do you mean?" Caleb asked, his tone defensive.Jane hesitated. "If you treated me more like your wife, it would be more convincing."Caleb's expression softened slightly. "I've always stuck to my end of the deal.""And what about Stella?" Jane challenged. "I'm not the only one with an ex-partner lingering around."Caleb sighed. "I've respected our marriage. The only reason Stella is

CHAPTER 35After her break, Jane returned to the company, her mind still lingering on the morning’s events. As she walked towards her office, she saw someone who looked remarkably like Brian. She blinked, convinced she was imagining things. He’s on probation, she reminded herself."Poor Brian" she muttered under her breath, feeling she was already missing him when it wasn't 3 days yet he was sent home. She shrugged and reminded herself that Brian was the only friend she had in the company. Just as she was about to dismiss the thought, the man turned around. It was Brian. He saw her and hurried over, a wide smile on his face.“Brian!” Jane exclaimed, her surprise and happiness evident. “What are you doing here? I don’t mean to sound offensive, but I didn’t expect to see you.”She tried to hug him but he withdrew himself a little bit and smiled, offered a handshake instead. He looked around the hallway as if someone was watching them, before returning his gaze at her. Brian beamed. “I

CHAPTER 37Up close, Caleb was drop dead gorgeous. His icy blue eyes swirled with confusion as he looked into her eyes. It seemed as though she forgot how to breathe as she drowned in them. Although his face was void of emotion, his gaze was hypnotising.She gulped anxiously as she leaned in closer, his breath fanning against her cheek. It was a pull, it was magnetic and undeniable. Deep down she felt he could see through her as her gaze lingered on his lips, wondering what it would be like to have them on hers and many other places.“This is stupid,” she whispered, shaking the thought off as she turned away but his hand stopped her, resting only behind her lower back.She felt frightened for a bit as she trailed her gaze from his hands to his face.“Why do you look restless?” Caleb asked.Jane gulped as she looked away nervously. “I— I want—”“What do you want?” He asked, his voice hoarse.Without a word, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips.Caleb's lips curled into a sm

CHAPTER 39Jane felt a chill run down her spine as she stepped away from Bianca. The stranger’s serene smile and the way she had uttered her full name had left her shaken. Especially her middle name which no one knew about, she except her family. “Or, did this stranger come from dad?” She thought within herself, hairs at the nape of her neck standing erect. She quickly waived off the thought, her dad would never send someone after her. When her dad disowns someone, it stays that way."Do we know each other?" Jane asked, her voice barely above a whisper, eyes wide with fear.Bianca’s smile grew, her gaze piercing through Jane. "What do you think, Jane? Have we met before?" As it seems, Bianca was obviously enjoying herself and the fact that she had made Jane very uncomfortable.Jane’s heart pounded louder, her mind racing. She shook her head vigorously, feeling a desperate need to escape. She turned and bolted out of the bathroom, her footsteps echoing down the hall. As she burst outs
