Semua Bab One Night's Mistake: Claimed by my Boyfriend's Brother.: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Christian is sitting down and his eyes are firmly on me as I end my call and make my way from the edge of the rooftop to him.Each step I take feels like an earthquake in my stomach but the closer I get to him, the more I stoke up my determination.Estel’s words ring round and round in my head "I've… heard a really good blowjob has wondrous effects on making sexual intentions known to the other gender.If you’re a woman who wants to have a man wrapped around your finger, or show him you’re serious about what you want, perfect the art of a good blowjob. As for romantically, give him lots of kisses.Have fun now.”I’ve always wanted an honest friend but Estel takes it another level entirely.I take a deep, shaky breath and nod internally to myself. Let's do this. Something I like about myself is that I can always talk myself into doing the things that seem difficult.I’ve never really had anyone to encourage me, so I have had to perfect the art of self-motivation.This doesn't have to b

It’s nighttime when I get back and Estel is waiting for me in my room when I step in.It seems she also saw that I was dropped off in Christian’s car, because the moment I get in, she hands me a bottle of bright blue liquid. The clear label reads one word, "Mouthwash."I deadpan a look at her that has her cracking up immediately.Estel laughs so hard I see tears glinting in her eyes as she speaks, "Why do you look like I just gave you something forbidden? It's just mouthwash, haven't you heard of dental hygiene?"I throw my bag onto my bed and hide the grin on my face as I respond, "If I didn't know the naughty mind behind the gift, I might have just accepted it, but I know you, and I know the naughty mind behind those innocent eyes.Message well received."Estel starts laughing again and when she's done, I find she's lying down on the floor before me, a devious smile on her face as she asks, "I'm guessing you don't need the mouthwash because Christian already helped you clean that mo

When I wake up, it's to a headache and puffy eyes.I didn’t know that anything could hurt this much, but I had to do it. I can’t let myself believe things are all good when they’re not, right?“Lyra…”I look up from my computer to see Estel standing in the doorway. There’s a worried and angry look on her face that tells me if I thought last night was bad, then today is about to be a whole lot worse.When I stand up, she motions me outside. The moment I step out the door, the scent of perfume hits me—and standing right there is the cause of the perfume.My heart slams in my chest at the sight of male, boot-clad feet, but a part of me knows it’s not Christian.I don’t think Christian would ever be caught dead in a pair of boots, and that makes my heart ache more—that I seem to know this about him.It’s not like we’re never going to see each other again, so why does the fact that I rejected his job offer hurt so much?“Miss Bennett?”I look up to see the face of the man standing in front

I’m breathing heavily as I call the contact number I was given in the email.My voice is thick with tears and I blink them back as much as I can, but I can tell they’ll soon find a way to come rolling out.The call is picked and I can’t recall any day when I have gotten irritated at the sound of my own name.“Hi, Miss Bennett. You’re on to Layla. I’m the head of HR at UL Olivant. What can I do for you today?”My hand shakes and I try to let that be the only thing shaking about me.I was yelled at by the last person that called because my voice kept cracking. I don’t want that to happen again so I try to speak really clearly, “Hi… I just received an email now stating that my application at UL Olivant has been rejected.I’m calling to confirm, and to know why. I was scheduled to come in for an interview and the company expressed that they would be excited to have me come work for them. I just don’t understand why my application is being rejected now.”I know I sound pitiful.I know I so

Estel doesn't sound too happy as she quips, “Well, that’s one thing that has gone well….”My eyes roam around the small apartment and I can’t tell if it makes me want to feel lucky or unlucky.It makes me want to cry again… but maybe they’re tears of joy not sadness.“You can’t live in here, Lyra. I’ll call my dad, I’ll move back home….”I give Estel a look that communicates one message. She huffs and crosses her hands over her chest as she looks away.I know she really wants to help me, but we’re both in complicated situations. I can’t let her complicate her situation even more all because I need some comfort.I try to diffuse the displeased look on her face, “At least this place isn’t like the other one that had a leaking roof?”Estel’s eyes immediately flick upward to the ceiling, and I see a frown smooth out as she looks at it. This one has well-functioning lights even, the last one was a far cry from that.“Your neighbors look like they could slit your throat with a knife and lea
