All Chapters of Jacqueline’s Dilemma: Chosen By The Tycoon: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~Rex’s POV~Shirley had her eyes on me and slowly glanced at Cupcake. She roughly let go of her hair. Cupcake almost lost her balance and held on to a chair. “You got lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn’t hesitate to shut that mouth of yours permanently.” Shirley said annoyingly. She looked round and adjusted her top.“It was a bad idea coming here. It lacks authenticity and probably, not worth spending money on. Come on, girls! We can go to another bakery to get the cake for the party.” She said.Shirley smirked as she glanced at Cupcake. She walked towards the door. Her facial expression changed when she was to the door. She scowled at me and pulled the door open. Her friends followed suit, except one. She had blonde hair.“B*tch!” She said brusquely to Cupcake.“One more word and you might end up without a tongue.” I warned her.She wrinkled her nose in disgust and walked towards the door. She banged the door. I looked through the glass door and watched them drive out. This explains why I

~Rex’s POV~I sounded the car horn at the gate. I held my hand at the steering wheel, impatiently tapping my fingers on it. The gate wheeled open. I glanced at the gate-keeper. He stood there, with his head hung. I heaved and shook my head. I really need to change the service here.I drove into the compound and parked beside the trimmed hedges. I unfastened my seatbelt. I reached for my suitcase, which was on the passenger seat. What a day! I opened the door and got out of the car. The headlights flashed as I locked to the car.I walked to the house. I stood at the door and knocked at it. Immediately, someone answered.“Boss,” Jason said when he answered the door.Mm! I walked in and heard the door click behind me. I entered the living room and sat down on the couch. Jason had followed me and stood at a distance. I raked my fingers through my hair tiredly.“I need a glass of water.” I said plainly.“Just water or—?” He asked, wanting to clarify.

~Jacqueline’s POV~ What more can one do in this house than to sleep, eat and possibly, get bored of internet? Nothing exactly. I never expected to be this bored in my life. Even the orphanage has more entertainment than this house. I miss the children that I teach. Their warm smiles, playfully, creativity and enthusiasm. They have sadly, become memories I’ll only remember. I sluggishly got out of bed and walked towards the window. I had closed earlier because of the rain. I opened it. The weather was a little bright as the sun was visible, though was still shadowed by the clouds. The ground partial glinted to the reflection of the sun. The air felt cool and less scorching than it was earlier. I closed it. I left out a sigh of boredom. What to do? I leant against the window frame, trying to what to do. I could explore the house. I haven’t been to most rooms before nor I have seen the whole compound. I walked towards the door and turned the handle. I pulled it open and had my han

~Jacqueline’s POV~ I froze when I saw Liam. I swallowed hard, sweating despite the cool weather. Liam’s face was flushed and his jaw, clenched. It was clearly that he was pissed off. Rex, on the other hand, felt pleased with his anger. “I never knew you actually got married. I though it was a rumour. But I guess seeing is believing.” Liam said coolly, with his gaze on me. His nose was flared. Liam stretched out his hand for a shake. “It’s finally nice to meet you.” He said calmly. It was obvious that he was seething. I looked at his hand and left it hanging. Liam withdrew his hand. He glanced at Rex. “You are really lucky.” He said plainly. “I guess I am.” Rex replied proudly, pulling me even closer to me than I was already. “I’ll let you two be. I’ll be upstairs if you need me.” Liam said, patting his mum’s shoulder. “Okay, son.” Mother-in-law replied calmly, wearing a smile. Liam looked at me before he walked away. I had my eyes on him until he had completely gone. “Are

~Jacqueline’s POV~ Rex drove speedily as he drove into the compound. He drifted and suddenly stepped on the brake. I jerked, almost hitting my head on glove compartment. Good thing I had my seatbelt on. Rex turned off the ignition and got out of the car. He banged the door angrily. He wore a stern look. I watched through the windscreen as he walked over to the passenger’s side. He pulled the door open. “Get out!” He said firmly, pronouncing each word slowly. My hands wobbled as I unstrapped myself. He clasped my arm roughly and pulled me out of the car. I glanced at the car. The handle turned and someone answered it. “Boss,” Cameron said as he stood at the door. Rex cut him dead. He pulled me until we got to the living room. I let go of me roughly. I lost my balance because of the sudden push and fell down. My hair covered my face partially. I panted. Rex paced up and down. He had his arms at akimbo with lips, pursed. He stopped. He raked his fingers through his hair and gro
