Semua Bab Faking Forever With The Billionaire : Bab 141 - Bab 150

The next morning, Aiden went to work with Alina. Instead of staying in the creative department like before, she now spent most of her time in his office, almost like his personal secretary. She didn’t do much except draw quietly on the extra laptop he had bought for her, keeping him company while he worked.That morning, Alina was sketching something on the screen when she paused and lifted her head. Her eyes wandered to Aiden who sat at his desk working nonstop. Since Jesse wasn’t there to assist him anymore, Aiden was doing everything by himself.Alina stood and walked over to him. "Is there something I can do to help?" she asked softly.Aiden paused and glanced up at her, a faint smile appearing on his face. "It’s nothing serious… Before Jesse started to work with me, I used to do even more than this alone. It’s just time-consuming, that’s all. That’s why I moved you from your department into my office...so I can keep an eye on you while I work."Alina smiled gently and stepped beh

Aiden pressed both palms against the cold iron gate. His chest rose and fell as his voice cut through the silence."Jesse! Don't be a loser and open this damn gate."There was no answer. Only the sound of the wind slipping between the bars. Aiden gritted his teeth and shouted again, his voice hoarse.“Jesse… aren’t you being too harsh? I came all the way from Los Angeles, and you’re just going to lock me out here? Since when did our friendship turn into this?”His fists slammed against the gate again, the noise echoing in the quiet street. He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against the iron, eyes burning with hurt and at the same time, anger."I don’t care if this is the Hartmann mansion or the Blackwood mansion," he muttered, his voice shaking. "Don’t you get it? I came here because of you. Because I'm worried that something might be going on with my friend and I have no idea."From inside, a faint sound echoed on the gate...but no reply came. Aiden’s throat tightened."I kno

The next morning, Aiden slowly opened his eyes, his body still aching from the night before. Just as he tried to shift a little, a sharp slap landed on his cheek."Shit," he muttered, blinking in surprise when he realized it was Jesse’s hand. But Jesse was still fast asleep, his face turned the other way, breathing calmly."Look who says he’s sensitive and accusing me of sleep fighting." Aiden mumbled under his breath, narrowing his eyes.When he noticed Jesse’s legs starting to move toward him, he quickly pushed them away, though not too roughly, careful not to wake him. But before Aiden could relax, Jesse’s hand drifted again, this time pressing toward his mouth."Oh, no... You can't." Aiden whispered. He caught the hand, brought it close, and gave it a bite. It was firm enough to sting but not to really hurt, just enough to wake him."Ouch!" Jesse cried out, jolting awake and pulling his hand back.Aiden let out a low groan, his body still aching. “I should’ve known this was a bad

Aiden returned home toward the evening, his steps heavy and his mind still troubled. He hadn’t planned on leaving, but no matter how long he waited, Jesse and Mrs. Hartmann never came back. Thinking Jesse might need some space, he eventually decided to leave.Standing at his door after stepping out of the car, Aiden pulled out his phone and sent Jesse a message:"I’m home."He waited yet the message wasn't viewed or replied. With a deep breath, he finally input his passcode.As he stepped inside the house, he spotted Alina sitting quietly in the living room and a frown crossed his face."Hey,” he muttered softly, stepping closer, “ Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at the mansion? Don't you know how dangerous it is for you to be alone?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. Alina quickly stood up. “You’re back?” she asked instead, but he didn’t smile. Noticing this, she closed the distance between them. “Actually, Lorraine just left. I didn’t come here on my own. I was about to

Doctor Craig leaned forward now, finally pulling down his glasses, "About your friend Jesse. He was against full treatment..." he started."What do you mean?" Aiden raised a brow.Doctor Craig opened his mouth to speak, but just then his mind drifted to the call he’d received earlier from Jesse. He said a match had been found from a deceased donor and the procedure would take place tomorrow. He urged Doctor Craig not to say anything to Aiden, insisting that he would explain everything himself.“What I mean is, the substance he inhaled is known to cause gastrointestinal irritation, weakness, and several systemic effects,” he explained. "Because Jesse had not eaten prior to the incident, the exposure could eventually predispose him to gastric complications like peptic ulceration, and severe abdominal pain.”Aiden frowned, but before he could react, Doctor Craig continued.“But don’t worry too much. As long as he continues taking the medication I prescribed and attends his regular check-
