I am still responsible for you

The car came to a sudden, violent stop after about fifteen minutes of driving. Katrina lurched forward slightly, her fingers clenched onto the seat, her breath uneven.She lifted her eyes to Jace, one hand gripping her chest as she tried to calm herself down. Apart from their heated breaths, no one spoke for a moment.Jace sat rigid behind the wheel, his jaw locked so tight it looked painful, a muscle jumping at his temple. His gaze was hard, burning straight ahead, his fury compressed into a glare.The air in the car turned heavy, tight enough to choke.Ray, seated in front, shifted uncomfortably, glancing from Jace to Katrina, feeling caught between a lovers' quarrel. He finally made up his mind and turned slowly toward Katrina, concern written plainly on his face.He had barely opened his mouth when Jace cut in sharply, forcing him to swallow his words.“What happened?” His voice was stern, the words snapping through the car.Katrina lifted her head. Her lips parted, but nothing ca

Beg me for it

When the door finally opened, Katrina sprang up from the floor where she had been sitting for a while and rushed at Jace with her hand raised to hit him.He caught her hand in the air, forcing it down. While Katrina raised her other hand, Jace managed to grab it as well and pushed it down, clutching both hands behind her.Katrina still struggled, feeling quite pissed at him for locking her up.“You crazy jerk!” she yelled, seeing that she was helpless again.“I locked you up for your own sake. It seemed like it was the only way to stop you from meeting assholes,” he said.“You’re the asshole,” she spat at him, but he didn’t let go.When she wouldn’t stop being stubborn, he pushed her against the wall, holding her shoulder firmly while his other hand gripped her hands.“If you don’t stop struggling, I’m going to kiss you,” he suddenly blurted out.That halted Katrina, whose eyes shot up at him.Seeing that the threat worked, Jace relaxed, but then a mischievous thought invaded his mind

For goodness sake...

After stalling for a long while, Ray finally appeared without Jace. The team seated in the room turned their eyes to him almost immediately, and their gazes carried the obvious question.“The new manager has been keeping us waiting for so long. Is he disregarding our team because he’s the heir?” Richard said. He was the assistant manager for the production team.Ray cleared his throat with an awkward chuckle.“The new manager has something important to attend to. He asked me to come instead,” he said.They all stared at him, clearly unhappy with the response.After the introductory meeting was over, Richard headed to Adam’s office to make a report.“He didn’t come?” Adam asked, his hands crossed behind him.Richard nodded, looking quite upset.“The whole team was upset. It would be easy to push him out,” he added.Adam laughed hysterically.It was a good thing that Jace was helping him without Adam having to make much effort. Once the workers started to form a bad impression of him, i

Blind date

Jennifer sat waiting when Jace arrived, her posture straight and her fingers folded neatly atop the polished table. She didn’t let him sit down before lashing out.“You missed your official introduction meeting today,” she said, her eyes lifting slowly to meet his.“Do you have any idea what that means for your position as team manager? For your steps toward becoming chairman?”Jace halted, his shoulders stiff and his jaw clenched.“It was important,” he replied evenly.Jennifer’s brows arched.“More important than your future?” she fired back.He let out a short, humorless breath.“It was important to me. And I don’t have to explain myself to you. Nor do I want you having people watching me like Adam does.”A flicker crossed her eyes, irritation quickly masked by composure.Before she could respond, the soft click of heels approached.A girl stepped into view, drawing attention effortlessly.She was dressed in a pale cream dress that hugged her slender frame delicately, the fabric ex

His type of girls

The duvet rolled as Blake pushed the blanket off with an irritated grunt. He turned to see Yasmin sleeping beside him and hissed angrily.“Get the hell up,” he yelled.His voice woke Yasmin with a stir. She stared at him for a second before realizing where she was. She was about to open her mouth to say something when Blake interrupted.“Why are you still here?” he asked, his face twisted in irritation.Yasmin raised a brow, not sure she understood what he was saying. But before she could react again, Blake got down and pulled her off the bed.She fell down with a loud thud.“What the hell?” she yelled.“Get out,” he said without remorse and walked to the table in the middle of the room.He took one wad of cash and threw it at Yasmin, who was still on the floor, looking at him, bewildered and angry.“Take that and get out,” he said again.Yasmin got up quickly, her eyes livid with anger. She moved close to him and threw the money at his face.Blake grabbed his face in shock. He could

You're not his girlfriend

“You’re not his girlfriend?” Blake said, his gaze raised to Yasmin, who was standing with her arms crossed angrily against her chest.Her expression froze for a second, but she quickly composed herself. “On what grounds do you say that? You’ve seen us together,” she said, putting on a pretense.Blake got up, a smug smile playing on his lips. “I told him about sleeping with me. Guess what he said?” he asked.Yasmin widened her eyes in utter shock. She charged at him and grabbed his collar.“You did what? Are you crazy?” she yelled, her eyes flickering with panic and outrage.Anger flashed in Blake’s eyes and he pushed her off him angrily. She stumbled back, grabbing the chair to avoid hitting the floor.“Get your filthy hands off me,” he snapped. His gaze was filled with hate and disgust.Yasmin clenched her hands, thinking fast. Sweat broke out on her forehead. She tried to think of a way to save herself out of this. She wasn’t done messing with Katrina. She couldn’t lose Jace.“I tho

Slapped a bitch

“What’s going on?” Collin asked anxiously. Katrina turned to him slowly, her hands shook but she clenched them tight. Her eyes were hollow and her voice nearly cracked as she spoke. “Is it true? Tell me it’s not,” she asked. He frowned, taking a step toward her. “What did she tell you?” he let slip in his anxiety. Katrina swallowed hard, her chest felt like it was being crushed from the inside. “So it’s true?” she asked, lifting her eyes to look into his. “You really approached me to mess with me?” Her eyes welled up weakly. She tried to force it in as it built up. “No, it’s not true.” Collin moved closer to her but she retreated immediately. Her lips trembled violently as she parted them, the memories invading her. “All the time you helped me, all the time you cared for me, when I thought I had a friend...” Katrina paused, her tears dropping, she could no longer go on. She felt her heart beating against her chest and grabbed it, feeling out of breath for a moment. Both

Your true intentions

“I can defend myself,” Katrina spat out as the car drove at speed. “I don’t need you fighting for me,” she snapped, her eyes glued to the front, squeezed in an angry glower.Jace turned his head to her. “You sure you can? You were stupid enough to be played,” he snapped too.Infuriated, Katrina turned to him. “I’m not stupid!” she stressed, and looked away from him, too angry to see his face. “You are the one who dated my friend.”The words came out like an accusation and Jace replied immediately. “Yeah, to piss you off,” he yelled back.Surprise invaded Katrina’s face as she flicked her head to him again. Words evaded her for a second and she swallowed back her next attack.For a moment, neither of them said anything but then, Katrina burst out. “If you knew about it all along, why didn’t you just tell me? Was it fun watching me play the fool?” she asked, her voice a little subdued.There was a pained expression on her face. When Jace turned to her again, she turned her face to the w

I can deal with her myself

Katrina walked into a room where a girl was on her knees in front of Jace, pleading with a frightened gaze. She halted for a second at the scene, wondering what on earth was going on.When she moved closer, she realized it was Tracie, a friend of Yasmin whom she had gone on a blind date with.Until she got closer, Jace, who wore a terrifying look and was interrogating Tracie, did not notice her.“What are you doing here?” he asked sharply, rising as he caught sight of her. His eyes flicked to Ray, who was behind her.“Holly brought her here. She wasn’t listening to me,” Ray quickly put his hands in the air to make it clear that he was innocent.Jace turned to Holly, who walked to the couch and relaxed without hesitation. She stared up at him, unbothered by his death glare.“I did you a favor. She was being harassed,” she said with a shrug.The look on his face tightened further, and he turned to Katrina, who was still trying to understand what was happening.“What is going on here?” K

She had it coming

Yasmin was called into the school chancellor’s office. Panic clouded her face. The chancellor raised his head in recognition and signaled her to wait as he finished his phone call. When he put the phone down, his eyes darted to Yasmin at once.“Miss Adams, I’m sure you are aware of why you are here,” the Chancellor stated.“I don’t,” Yasmin let out quickly. She tried to hide her anxiety with a cool countenance, but her body was literally uneasy.“You spread hostile news about another student, you’ve caused trouble and offended the Holloway family,” the Chancellor spelled out, upset. He had gotten a phone call from the Holloway Empire; his position was at risk if he didn’t do the needful.“You violated our student code of conduct. For this, the board has decided to expel you from the school,” he announced. “From now on, you are no longer our student. I’m sorry.” He shook his head regretfully.Yasmin’s knees buckled, her facade breaking completely.“What? You can’t do that!” she yelled,
