All Chapters of Her Heart’s Not Yours Anymore: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Jonathan's tone was calm, but his eyes held a sharp, ruthless look, tinged with disgust.Isabella knew that Jonathan had invested in several films, and her earlier attempts to get close to him had been with the hope of securing a role in one of them. She certainly didn't want to offend him.Thinking about how unlucky she had been lately—experiencing the life of a hostess, now forced to drink—tears welled up in her eyes."Mr. Sinclair, I... I'll drink," she stammered.With that, Isabella sobbed as she picked up the bottle and began to drink.She took a sip, spat out twice as much, and wiped her tears in between. It made everyone in the room feel incredibly uncomfortable.Once Isabella finished the bottle, Jonathan glanced at Kylie before turning to Isabella."Leave," he ordered.Isabella looked as if she had been granted a pardon. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she staggered out of the room. It was likely she never wanted to see Jonathan again.Kylie couldn't shake the feeling th

The apartment was a single unit per floor. When they reached the right level, Kylie stood there, unsure how to open the door. Surprisingly, Jonathan extended a finger and pressed it against the fingerprint lock.Inside, the apartment was pitch black. Kylie fumbled around in the entryway and managed to switch on the light.Meanwhile, Jonathan stumbled over to the couch in the living room, collapsing onto it without a second thought.He seemed genuinely drunk.As Kylie stood there, debating whether to leave, the doorbell suddenly rang. On the monitor, Zoey's delicate face appeared.Kylie's stomach dropped. If she didn't answer the door, she would look guilty. If she did, Zoey would definitely misunderstand.Zoey's face on the monitor grew more anxious."Jon? Open the door, Jon."Kylie took a deep breath, steeling herself, and opened the door.The moment Zoey saw her, her face turned a deep shade of red with anger. She immediately demanded, "Why are you here? Where's Jon?""Mr.

"I figured you didn't sleep well last night, so I brought you some stew," Zoey said, holding up a thermos and shaking it gently. She then walked over to Jonathan's desk, clearly pleased with herself. She opened the thermos, took out a spoon, and with a soft smile, handed it to Jonathan."I made it especially for you. You should try it."With that, Zoey casually swept her hair back, deliberately exposing the red mark on her neck.She glanced at Kylie standing nearby, making sure Kylie saw, then flashed a victorious smile.Jonathan took a sip of the stew and nodded."Yeah, it's good."Zoey beamed. "Of course, I put a lot of effort into making it."The next second, Jonathan let out a small, amused snort."Oh, really? It seems like your cooking skills are on par with the chefs at Savory Haven."Jonathan's words shattered Zoey's facade. It was clear the stew came from the restaurant, and Zoey had shamelessly tried to pass it off as her own.Jonathan hated being lied to, especiall

"This isn't exactly a place anyone can just walk into."Samuel raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying Kylie's discomfort. He smiled and added, "Doesn't matter. You can be my date tonight. I'm flying solo anyway."Kylie remembered the night Samuel had suggested she follow him and felt a twinge of wariness. Just as she was about to decline, Samuel continued, "Hey, don't reject me. I'm just looking to be your knight in shining armor tonight. No hidden agenda."From across the room, Jonathan's gaze cut through the crowd and landed on Kylie.When he saw her talking to Samuel, his expression darkened instantly.Noticing the shift in Jonathan's demeanor, Zoey followed his gaze.Seeing that Jonathan was focused on Kylie, Zoey's mood soured. She pulled out her phone and sent someone a quick message. The reply came swiftly, [Understood.]Zoey tucked her phone away and, with a sly smile, turned back to Jonathan. "Jon, some wealthy businessmen from Ivalora are here tonight. They're eager to

Jonathan carried Kylie straight into his sleek black luxury car.Seeing his boss holding a beautiful woman, the driver discreetly stepped out, leaving the two of them alone in the backseat.Kylie's eyes were hazy, her body burning with heat. She murmured softly, "Ugh... so hot..."Jonathan clenched his jaw, trying to restrain himself. With one hand, he loosened his tie and turned his head away.But soon, Kylie's warm, soft body pressed against his firm chest.Jonathan's body tensed, a fire igniting within him. His cold, stern expression softened with concern as he turned to look at her. Unable to resist, he reached out and gently caressed her face.The drug was at its peak, and Kylie's remaining rationality was slipping away. Her voice was hoarse as she pleaded, "Please... help me..."Jonathan's eyes darkened, and his defenses crumbled. In a low, controlled voice, he said,"It has to be me. I won't let anyone else touch you."He leaned down and kissed her, his hand sliding up h
