“Okay, boys, you got me,” Jayden lifted his hand in surrender when he saw that he had been surrounded by the goons who were chasing him.At least, he had managed to lead them away from Zendaya, but what the hell was taking Lan so long? He hissed under his breath.Pending the time when Lan would get there, he decided to engage the men in a little discussion. “So where’s the leader?” he inquired, as he knew the men who had been chasing him were merely goons. Just as he spoke, he saw a man approaching him, and he had an umbrella over his head to prevent the rain from touching him.Bingo! Jayden muttered in his head.“Jayden Gerano, it is an honour to finally meet you,” the man said and Jayden squinted his eyes at the man, trying to see if he knew him, but he didn’t, and he was sure as he didn’t forget faces.“So, to what do I owe this pleasure to, seeing as we’ve never met,” he asked, and he saw the man’s face light up with a smile.“Well, I had to come and pay my respects in person,”

“What the hell took you so long?” Jayden chided as he stared at the man who had raised his hand in surrender.“The rain didn’t make things easy for us, sir,” Lan responded, and Jayden cocked his gun to show that he wasn’t satisfied with the answer.“Jayden, give me the gun!” He heard Zendaya say to him, and he frowned as she was putting him in a difficult spot. He didn’t want to listen to her, but at the same time, she was his weak spot, and he didn’t want to disrespect her in front of his men.“You’re lucky, she’s here. You won’t be next time,” he growled as he handed the gun to Zendaya, who sighed satisfactorily. Without saying anything else to Lan, Jayden grabbed her arm and led her to where the leader was. His men had been smart enough not to kill him, and this made him smile satisfactorily.“Hello Dumong,” he greeted the man, whose eyes widened in horror over the fact that Jayden knew who he was.“You knew all along?” was all he said.“Of course I knew,” Jayden responded. “I’d

“How do you know my medication?” She asked him, refusing to get distracted by his words.“You told me about them, but you’re always too drunk to remember,” he responded as her grabbed her hand and placed it in it.Zendaya didn’t know if that was the truth but like he said she didn’t remember what she did whenever she was drunk and so there was no way for her to refute his claim.“Use it,” Jayden told her as he turned and went out of the room.When he stepped out, he immediately headed down to his study as he needed to make a call to his father and he didn’t want to be distracted.Closing the door, he brought out his phone to call Justin, and it took some time for Justin to answer as it was two in the morning.“Boy, it’s two in the morning, why are you calling me?” His father’s voice came on when he answered the call.“If you’re beside mom, leave, it’s important,” he told his father and he heard the shuffling of clothes indicating that his father was getting out of bed.“Hold on, let m

“You were very cold back in there,” Zendaya stated, and Jayden squinted his eyes at her. So she had noticed and had still continued to ignore him.“I’m cold to everyone who I don’t know. You’re lucky I know you,” He asserted as he helped her adjust her coat, which had some speck of dust on it.“No, even by your own standard, you were colder than normal,” Zendaya deadpanned. She wasn’t oblivious to how Jayden treated people, but like she said, he was much colder to Anil. It was though he hated him.“I don’t like him, I guess, especially with the bullshit story he was feeding you with,” Jayden shrugged casually as he turned to enter the car. However, Zendaya stopped him from doing so, as she wasn’t done with the conversation.Pushing him to rest against the car, she stepped forward and poked his chest. “It wasn’t a bullshit story and Anil is nice,” she defended her classmate.“Just like the way you thought Matthew was nice and in love with you,” the words came out of Jayden’s mouth be

“I ruined your shirt,” Zendaya stated as she backed away. She didn’t have it in her to feel embarrassed about the fact that she had cried in front of Jayden. “It’s just a shirt,” he brushed off as he reached out and used his thumb to wipe the tears off her cheeks. Zendaya tensed due to what he did, and she felt her stomach tie in a knot once more while her cheeks turned red.Jayden stared at the woman in front of him. He remembered asking himself if what he felt towards her was a mistake or just lust. The answer was always the same.He didn't just want her, he needed her. He always felt his entire body come alive with just the simplest things she would do, and it had never been so with any other woman.Whenever he was with other women, he found himself unable to stand them except if it was purely for his pleasure, but with Zendaya, it was different, and he knew why.His bulge suddenly hardened just by looking at her, and he cursed his body for reacting like that in such a serious si
