Semua Bab A Marriage Deal To Remember : Bab 1 - Bab 6

JENSYNI smiled across the table at my new client, Derek Mills, in a dimly lit corner table of an exclusive restaurant in the city. Around us, the laughter and chatter of the wealthy elites blended with the clinking of silverware and glasses of expensive wine.My role was simple; act like Derek's doting girlfriend and get paid. This was only our second date, but I already knew enough. Derek was rich, reckless, and engaged to a woman who wasn’t me. A woman who didn’t even know I existed.But it was just a job. I have been working as an escort for almost three months now. The pay was decent, though it was never enough.“Jensyn, would you like me to pour you another glass of wine?” Derek asked, flashing me a smile with a playful gleam in his eyes.I nodded, lifting my glass, even though my stomach twisted. I needed the money too much to let it show. My eyes flicked to the gold watch gleaming on his wrist, the light catching on its sharp edges. “Oh goodness!” Derek exclaimed, looking dow

LINDENI didn't know what in hell I was doing, pressing a full-grown woman against my chest in the storeroom like I had any right to touch her. But hell, the scent of her perfume, still lingering at the base of her neck, teased me and I wanted to hold her still for a while.“If you scream,” I whispered, releasing my grip, “we'd be caught.”She didn't move for a while, but I felt the rapid rhythm of her heartbeat—terrified and uncertain.

Don't make a sound and I promise to keep you safe.”I knew I would fulfil that promise the moment Jensyn spilled her life story in her drunken state. Immediately, I made some calls to find out whose watch she stole. I wasn't that surprised when it turned out to be my bro

JENSYNLinden took me to his mansion again.I had been here once, but it still felt surreal. The house was gigantic. It made me feel like I didn't belong here at will. On a serious note, I honestly didn't belong.“You will need to be presentable for tonight,” Linden said, as if I had always been part of his life. “You must make it show at the gala that we are in love. That 3% share, you WILL work for it.”A gala. Of course.He didn’t wait for a response. Instead, he turned to a young woman standing nearby, her uniform crisp and her eyes lowered. “Take her to the room I prepared.”He prepared a room?The maid gave me a quiet smile and motioned for me to follow her. The hallway stretched long, too long, like I was being led deeper into a maze. It wasn't the hallway leading to the room I had awakened in earlier today.We stopped at a white double door. The maid opened it and stepped aside.I froze.It wasn't just a furnished room, it was designed. Soft lighting, creamy walls, a bed frame
