Semua Bab Contractually Yours, Brother-in-law.: Bab 11 - Bab 20

EPISODE TWELVE.JENNA'S POV."Thank you." I whisper under my breath, trying to keep my emotions at bay even though I'm failing terribly.A long breath of relief escapes from Michelle's mouth and she nods."It's fine, I haven't done anything yet though." She says dramatically, I laughed through my tears and turned to Elijah whose expressions haven't changed a bit.Judging from what his face is depicting, Michelle has probably found out how he was able to sell the stocks knowingly or unknowingly because one thing about Elijah is that, even if he's lying, his facial expression always sells him off."Why did you sack Rosie and the rest? I still make sure I pay them their salary every month even if it's from my purse, why would you do that to the people that started from the scratch with me?" I ask angrily, my chest tightens more as more words continue to spew out from me because I shouldn't have let the matter escalate to this stage, I'm such a dweeb."You mean the reduced salaries? Tell

EPISODE FOURTEEN.JENNA'S POV."What?" I almost screamed, rattling the poor girl who thought I was her mother.What the actual fuck? How am I supposed to sleep in the same room with Ryker and breathe the same air around him for hours?"Uhmm, I wanted to go and get something at the bal.....fuck." I mutter under my breath.Now, I'm the one rattled. The idea of being with Ryker nauseates me."I still have some work to do in the room and Mom doesn't want to disturb me." Ryker comes to my rescue with a believing lie but she's not convinced.Instead, Arlene walked to where I am and dragged me to Ryker's. She conjoined our hands and pushed me by my waist while she only nudged Ryker to the door linking Ryker's room to her room.Oh,God!Left with no choice, I tighten my hands around Ryker's surprisingly warm hands and smile at Arlene awkwardly."You should go to bed now, baby."Duly, Arlene returns to her bed while I and Ryker shut the door behind us.I quickly disentangled my hands from him a

EPISODE SIXTEEN.JENNA'S POV.I huffed in frustration as Ryker continues to ignore me, he's such a tease and it's so frustrating.After he's done clearing up the kitchen, he goes upstairs to prepare for work while I just lurk around Arlene and keep her company till Ryker is back.He's in a burgundy suit and his hair slightly ruffled which gives him the most dashing look ever, I checked him out secretly while his focus is on Arlene's book.Jeez, why am I checking him out? I'm such a weirdo."Is there anything you want me to add in your lunchbox?" Arlene shook her head cutely and dipped her hand into Ryker's."We are leaving now." He mumbled without sparing me a look."I want to go!" I chipped in with a desperate expression, making them turn at the same time.Arlene suddenly went behind Ryker's back and clutched his trouser tightly."No, you're not going with us." Ryker deadpanned strictly, his tone and expression icy."What do you mean by that? Is it a crime that I just want to tag al

EPISODE EIGHTEEN."Congratulations,Jenna. I told you to trust me." Michelle bragged, cat walking intentionally in front of her pissed off twin brother.I cackled, my eyes laced with tears to the brim."Thank you so much,Michelle, I wouldn't have done this without you."I sobbed, throwing my arms around her neck.She stiffened a bit when I snuggled into her which I kind of got, I was always rude to Michelle and never treated her professionally which I have no excuse for."You're welcome, pretty."I waved at Michael in gratitude because it kinda feels awkward to go straight to him and hug him when we haven't even exchanged any words yet."Can I take you guys to dinner? I just want to appreciate what you've....""Yes, I would love that!" Michelle jabbed ecstatically, I turned to Micheal, hoping he wouldn't turn me down, he shrugged in response and nodded afterwards."Thank you, I will choose the venue and text you the address.""No problem, I'm looking forward to it, please, don't order cr

EPISODE TWENTY.JENNA'S POV.I stood there, totally gone and deeply soaked in Ryker's words. Him telling me that he doesn't hate me, or saying I had the wrong assumption.Come to think of it, Ryker never told me he hates me, he just loves to taunt the hell out of me and make me mad.Pressing my lips together, I took a few steps back, and nodded awkwardly."Okay then." I mumbled, not sparing him a glance.Ryker lingered around for a while until Arlene told him to go back to work which was in the room because she wanted to take a nap.I excused myself from her as well so I can prepare for my date.After checking through the dresses again, I finally picked a pink dress with dramatic cuts at the edges, it's showing a little of my cleavages and highlighting my long legs which is literally the only charming feature in my body.Luckily, I managed to grab a matching pair of heels to complement the dress, after packing my hair up in a tight bun, leaving the edges dolled and pressed to my skull
