Chapter: 84Jackie’s POV“Evangeline, please.”I laughed at the way Matt had spoken. He was so down bad for Evangeline who gave him an incredulous look. I watched him wrap his arms around her waist and put his face in her neck. I could see that Evangeline was blushing from his touch, and it made me happy for her. At least, Matt has become a new man and no longer the person he was, plus, he made her happy even though she still played hard to get. I shipped them so hard. The day they announced that they were dating, I would rejoice.“Are you done?”I looked away from the duo to Andrea who was pointing at the sliced apples on the chopping board. In her arms was Paul, who was sucking on his pacifier. He grinned when he noticed my attention was on me, making my heart melt.“Lucas’ mom wants to see you,” Andrea said, and confusion filled.“Me?” I pointed at my chest. “Do you know why?”“Girl, I don’t know. She just wants to talk to you about something.”I dropped the knife I was holding and wiped my han

Chapter: 83Chapter’s Soundtrack Love Me Hard by Elly DuheLucas’ POVI felt the dawn of a new day and opened my eyes. There was slight darkness in the room as my eyes took in the expanse of the room. I yawned and tried to stretch, only to feel a weight on my arm. I blinked and looked down, then smiled at the sight of Jackie sleeping in my arms. My heart fluttered at the feel of her body resting against mine, fitting perfectly.I held my breath when she moved and moaned before cuddling me more. I pressed my lips against her head and inhaled the sweet scent of her hair. I looked at the hand that was fisted on my bare chest then took it, lacing it with mine. I brought her hand close to my face and kissed the knuckles of her hand. I opened her hand and pressed her soft palm on my cheek before nuzzling it with my nose.She moaned and moved in my arms again, making me stop what I was doing. She moved her head against my chest, rubbing her nose on it before raising her head off it. I smiled when she co

Chapter: 82Lucas' POVI knew trying to trigger Henry was the wrong move but seeing Matt and Jackie with me gave me the courage to know that we would all walk out alive, but it seemed as if I was wrong as I watched him pull the trigger. The first thing that came to my mind was to protect Jackie, and how a repeat of what happened was about to repeat itself.But what I did not expect was for Matt to stand between us and Henry, taking the bullet. When he dropped to the ground, it felt as if everywhere around me went dark. My heart squeezed from fear and worry as I stared down at his body that lay unmoving on the floor.When Jackie screamed, I snapped out of my state and looked up with rage coursing through my veins. Henry was stiff from shock, and I took that as an opportunity to dash my way to him. I hit the and that held the gun, sending it flying away. Before he could react, I hit him in the face. I barely had any strength but adrenaline to finish off Henry was in me. I had the urge to kill him,

Chapter: 81Jackie’s POVFear was back.I could feel the fear just as I could feel the weight of the gun against my cheek as he began to count from number one. I looked away from Lucas to the side to try to stare at the monster. He had a nasty smile on his face, a maniacal one that reminded me of Maddy’s. It was crazy how there were psychopaths moving with us. Why couldn’t my love life have jealous exes who did not murder and crazy family members who didn’t just like their child’s partner?“Three… You’re not saying anything, son.”He needed to stop calling him that.My heart skipped a beat when he dug the mouth of the gun into my cheek, making me feel pain there. I gritted my teeth and tried to look over my shoulder at Matt. What was that fucker doing? He needed to cut the man off per our agreement.“Tw—”“Wait,” Matt said, getting our attention.I let out a sigh of relief and thanked the heavens when he left my head and let me fall back to the floor. I crawled over to Lucas’ feet and held his an

Chapter: 80Jackie’s POVI felt like I was going crazy from all the influx of emotions inside of me.Anger, sadness, guilt, worry and shame.They were at war within me as I tried to clear my mind, to remain sane, to be hopeful. I was forcing myself to believe that it was not my fault. I was not at fault for losing Drake and was about to lose Lucas too. I felt so stupid all because I wanted to get a few school items. If I had just waited a little more, or forgot about it, a stranger would not have snuck into our home and taken my child.Tears formed in my eyes, and I let them fall, heating up my cold cheeks. I sniffled and began to cry softly. I had no idea what condition Drake and Lucas were in while I sat in comfort. I hated feeling useless. I wished I could do something to save Lucas and Drake, but I was useless. I was barely healed from childbirth and that made me even more angry.I curled my body on the bed and cried harder, trying to force the pain in my heart to seize. I grabbed a handful o

Chapter: 79Lucas’ POVPain, dullness and a slight feverish feeling was heavy on me as I struggled to open my eyes. I started to feel confused, wondering where I was and what had happened, especially why it felt as if I could not move. My chest felt heavy and at the same time, it felt as if I could not feel one side of my body.I opened my eyes and hissed as an ache hit my head. I blinked multiple times before my eyes opened properly. I raised my head and groaned when my arm hurt so badly. I looked at the arm and saw that the sleeve of my jacket was stained with blood.“Finally awake?” A deep voice asked.I tried to sit up and grunted when I realized that I was tied to the spot I was sitting in. I looked down at my body and saw a thick rope tied around my torso, arms and legs. I raised my gaze to the person and frowned when I saw Henry. He was sitting on a couch across the room, holding a gun and a glass of wine.“Untie me, you bastard,” I demanded, and he laughed with a shake of his head.“I kno

Chapter: 45Sandy’s POVAnthony stayed quiet for some seconds after dropping such a hard statement. A part if me was shocked at the revelation but the other part of me was not surprised as I remembered what one of his uncles said to me when we were in Seoul. What got me more shocked was the fact that Anthony did not just tell me about it. It made me feel like he was already accepting their demands when he said nothing to me about this.“I’m sorry for not telling you," he said, as if reading my thoughts. “I was panicking. I didn’t know how to tell you and how you would react especially knowing how much you were ready to help me get my parents off my back.”I sat upright and rubbed the rest of the tiredness and sleep off my face. This was getting serious the more I thought about it. It made me think of what his parents said about this. If they actually accepted Ida over me after his mom in particular gushed over us. It left a pang in my heart.“Get my phone from the side table,” he said, and I glan

Chapter: 44Sandy’s POVIt had been an hour since I saw Anthony at my doorstep, and I was still angry just at the sight of him. The image of him staring at me like I did something bad to Ida still flashed in my head. It still hurt that he would easily think that I could do such a thing to someone. No doubt, I was jealous but how dare he think I was violent because of my feelings and our friendship.I turned on my bed to get a more comfortable position as sleep seemed to be far from me. I stared at the ceiling through the darkness of the room and thought back to how he had been looking when he was here. He looked exhausted with baggy eyes and rough hair. He barely looked like the energetic man I knew and at some point, I had felt the urge to hear him out but I didn’t want to get back on my word.With a sigh, I shut my eyes and forced sleep to come. I needed to sleep to prepare myself for what was to come tomorrow at work. When I felt the weight of sleep on me, I relaxed, welcoming more of it.It w

Chapter: 43Anthony’s POVI felt like a loser. A fool at most as I watched my best fucking friend drive out of the courtyard from my office window. My heart tugged as I stared at the back lights of her car and even after her car disappeared around the corner, I continued to stare at the gate, wishing I could change everything that had happened ever since Ida showed up. Just thinking about made me feel even more restless and helpless.I sighed and walked away from the window then stopped when I heard the door of my office open. I gritted my teeth at the sight of Ida. She approached me with a sad look on her face. I was not in the mood to ask questions about it. I turned away and crossed the other side of the room to the table that held all my drinks. I picked up a glass and grabbed a bottle of whiskey.“I have been keeping quiet about her, but I don’t think she likes me. It’s good that you made her leave. She is just too much. How dare she push me because she can’t get over the fact that you no lo

Chapter: 42Chapter’s Soundtrack: Skin by Sabrina CarpenterSandy’s POVI was stunned to the bones at what he had said. I stared at him, trying to get a hint of joke from his appearance but there wasn’t. The most part was how he had said such to the hearing of Anthony and his secretary. It made my cheeks flame up from embarrassment and from the strong meaning behind those words. My heart fluttered a bit just from hearing him speak and when he came closer, I swallowed. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Anthony move as if he wanted to approach us, but Ida popped out of nowhere and held his arm. I sighed and focused on Trent who was still looking me in the eyes. He took my hand and pulled me into my office with him. He shut the door and leaned on it before looking at me with a smile on his face." Trent,” I said, being loss of words.He chuckled. “Ignore what I said out there. I wanted to piss the fuck out of him.”I blinked and craned my head sideways in confusion. I furrowed my eyebrows, and he w

Chapter: 41Sandy’s POVI looked from one person to the next, trying to decipher what Ida had just said. Even Anthony had barely said anything or moved from the sink, and it was making me very angry. Ignoring me was different but not telling me about this as someone who was his best friend and fake partner, that he lives with pissed me off. I was getting tired of this treatment. Just when I was about to march my way to him, Ida got down from the counter and approached me.“I hope you don’t have problems with this. You see, I was the one who asked, and he didn’t want to agree at first, but I told him it is just for a few days. The paper for my apartment is already prepped.”I looked past her to glare at Anthony. My heart was burning from the anger I was feeling. I scoffed and looked to the side. I squeezed my eyes shut for some seconds before nodding my had in agreement.“I am fine with it since my opinion doesn’t count. And you,” I pointed at Anthony. “Mr. Hogan, we need to talk.”I did not wait

Chapter: 40Sandy’s POVThe four of us sat around a small round table at the small restaurant Trent had told me about. They served a fairly good food, suitable for their rich lifestyle. Ever since we arrived, I had lost my appetite and only put a few spoons of food into my mouth while Ida chatted away with Trent and Anthony about work. It was almost as if I was at a business luncheon with my boss, sitting quietly like the obedient assistant that I was. Anthony only gave me a few glances and that was only when we ordered and when the food came. Ida was all up in his face, getting his attention and making him respond to her. I wanted to believe that she was so invested in him that he barely had time for me. I knew Anthony well enough but these past few hours have been quite confusing for me.“Sandy?”At the sound of Trent’s voice, I raised my bowed head and made eye contact with him. He smiled and looked at my plate before looking back at me.“Why aren’t you eating?”The table became quiet and I di

When Bad Boys Fall
"Open your mouth," he whispered and I looked at him in confusion. "Open your mouth, Jackie."
I swallowed and did as I was told. The heat between my legs heightened when he ran the wet candy over my bottom lip before stuffing it into my mouth. The sweetness expanded on my taste buds and my body heated up at the fact that the lollipop had been in his mouth.
There was something erotic about it and it left me accepting the way my body reacted to it. I looked deeper into his eyes and sucked on the lollipop then moaned when he started to move it in and out of my mouth. I wasn't innocent and I knew just what he was doing.
"Fuck it," Lucas said and took the lollipop out of his mouth the crashed his lips on mine.

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Seven[|] The next day, we were back to the hotel we had been in before Maddy captured me. When I woke up, I felt an odd feeling at the thought of Maddy being dead. Even though she ended up betraying me, she had been part of my life and it made me a little sad that she had to end the way she did. I pushed away the feeling and sat up on the bed. I looked at the other side of the bed and smiled at a sleeping Lucas. He was facing the other way, bare-chested. I leaned forward and ran my hand over his smooth chest. He moved his body a little but didn't wake up. I rested my chin on my palm and stared at him. His jawline was covered with very light beards and I pictured him with a full beard. He would look handsome with it and more mature as I imagined him with a trimmed beard. It made me smile as I focused on his hair which was a bit longer. I began to imagine our life together with a child running around the house. I smiled wider at the imagination. "All I want is happiness from here on ou

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Six[|]"Hey."I flinched at the sound of Lucas' voice. I turned away from the floor-length window in the hallway of the hospital and faced him. He was looking stressed out with bags under his eyes, scattered hair, and pale skin. I wouldn't be surprised if I was matching his look."How are you?" I asked, walking up to him. I opened my arms for a hug and he came into it and I wrapped my arms around him. He lowered his height and rested his head on my shoulder."I'm so tired and I'm sure you are too," he said and hugged me back."I'm better now that I know Axel is fine," I said and pulled away from him.Axel had gone into surgery the moment we arrived at the hospital and it's been hours since we arrived. Barry had not left the door of the operating room. I could see how much they loved Axel. "You need to sleep. You are stressed from everything," Lucas said and cupped my face."I'm kinda hungry though," I said with a smile. "I need a nap but I won't do all these until I'm sure that Axel is

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Five[|] The loudness of the gun was ringing in my ears and I could barely hear my heartbeat. I was frozen on top of Maddy as I felt fear move through me. I gulped and wondered why I couldn't feel anything, I was numb. I rolled away from Maddy and looked down at my stomach. There was blood on my shirt but I couldn't feel any wound. It was when I looked at Maddy, that I realized the blood belonged to her and not me. She had a bullet hole in her chest while the gun was slack in her hands. Her eyes were wide as her chest moved up and down quickly. I rose to my feet, holding my stomach out of fear and protecting the baby in me. "Jackie?!" I looked up at the sound of a new voice. I saw Lucas staring at me with fear in his eyes. He ran up to me and cupped my cheeks"Jackie, you're shot," he said. I snapped out of my shocked state and shook my head. "No... Not me," I replied and looked down at Maddy who was laying on the ground, still breathing. Lucas furrowed his eyebrows and slowly fol

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Four[|]Jackie's POVThe moment Lucas had shifted, I was confused because I had been expecting him to fall at the impact of the bullet but I saw someone else; Axel.When I had seen Lucas at first, I felt my heart stop beating, I had felt like I lost it all. I thought I had lost him, I thought I had lost the man I loved but when I saw Axel, I didn't feel any different. Axel was my best friend, a brother I never had. I never had a sibling but it felt like I was losing one when I saw Axel taking the bullet for us. I didn't know if I could have screamed or passed out at the sight of Axel. I had not expected Axel to take the bullet. When I saw Lucas broken at the sight of his brother, I prayed that Axel was alright.The moment I saw Maddy run off, I knew I had to go after her before she escaped. I didn't even think twice and ran after her, picking up the gun she had dropped in the process.When I saw that Maddy had run out through a door in a corner. I pushed the door and looked on each side

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Three[|]Lucas' POVI could not let Jackie die. I would rather die than let the woman who has suffered enough go through death. I just couldn't watch her take that bullet.So, when I saw Maddy pull out her gun, I knew things would not end well. I had thought she would not pull the trigger but I was wrong when I saw her finger push the trigger. Knowing how fast a bullet was, I blocked Jackie to take the bullet with my eyes shut the moment she fired the gun.But when three seconds went by and I did not feel the burning and body-numbing feeling of the bullet, I opened my eyes and felt like my soul left my body when I saw the last person I was expecting in front of me."Axel?!" I screamed at the top of my voice, the same time Jackie said my name.I couldn't feel my body as I watched Axel slump to the floor. Everything around me became dark and I found myself falling to my knees and crawling toward him. He rolled onto his back and my eyes went straight to his bleeding chest. My hands began to s

Chapter: Hundred and Twenty-Two[|]Jackie's POVIt hurt so bad.It broke my heart to see him sign the contract. It made me angry to see them kiss. It wasn't Lucas' fault, I was not mad at him. I was mad at Maddy. She was so cruel. The worst feeling I felt was helplessness. I couldn't do anything to stop everything as I watched them kiss. I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest and tossed into a larva. I felt like I could not breathe. It was at that moment I knew that people could die from heartbreak. I just couldn't withstand the sight and thought of losing Lucas to her."Finally," Maddy said and I raised my head.I sniffed and glared at her when she looked at me, smiling wide with the contract pressed against her chest. She giggled and walked up to me."Won't you congratulate me?" She asked, craning her head to the side.I formed some saliva in my mouth and spat on her face. She gasped and closed her eyes at the impact. I smiled at the sight of my spit on her face then chuckled."I already got what I want

Chapter: TENP E A R LWhat did this woman just say?My heart was hammering by the second as I dumbly stared at her. What was going on? Why did she call him her husband?“I asked you a question. What are you doing with my husband?”I immediately ended the call and jumped out of the bed. I was doomed. I have been sleeping with a married man. I came on a trip with a married man. I let a married man sleep with me. Jesus.I stopped and thought in the direction of Anthony. He had deceived me! He should have told me he was married and now, there is probably a curse looming over my life because of my stupidity. I just met this man, I knew nothing about him, only to find out he is married. Anger started to creep into me. He hid this from me and now, his wife had seen my face, and I couldn’t tell if she would find me and that meant… The school may find out. I felt filthy at that moment and wanted to leave, to run but I was in another country. Far away from home. How was I supposed to leave? Right now, I w

Chapter: NINEP E A R LThe car we were in stopped in front of a luxurious looking hotel. The building and architecture was enough to tell me that everything I paid through my four years would be one night alone. Heck, a few hours. The fact that this was probably where we would be staying made me feel tense. Now that I knew just how rich he was, I felt the depth of my poverty stricken state. This man could easily solve my life’s issues, which includes college debt and loans with just 0.5% of a few thousand dollars.I snapped out of my deep state of thoughts when my door opened. I blinked at the opened door before I raised my gaze and saw Anthony standing behind the door with his hand motioning for me to get out. I smiled at him then got out of the car.I nodded at him and stepped aside for him to close the door. Once that was done, he offered his hand out for me to hold. The first thing I did was to look around us then at him. I noticed he was now wearing a cap that shielded his face. Something told

His eyes swept over my body before he fixed it on mine. I swallowed at the intensity of his eyes and looked down at my hands resting on my lap. “I want to take you out of the country.” My eyes went wide. What the fuck did he just say? I had to whip my head around to stare at him, gaping. “I… No, I don’t have any. W-why?” He smiled and placed his hand on my thigh, sending shivers through my body and making me hot between my legs. “My assistants have made you stressed and it’s all because of me. So, I want to take you somewhere to relax,” he said. I was stunned, too stunned to speak. This man I had just met wanted me to travel to another country with him. What if he was a trafficker or did some shady business? “Stop overthinking,” he said and cupped my chin and pulled me close. I swallowed at the way he was staring at me

Very familiar? I quickly turned in the direction of the voice and saw Lee. He was staring at me with an unrecognizable look in his eyes. I could tell he was very suspicious of what he had seen and now I was left with trying to make him understand things his eyes saw. He approached me and popped a lollipop into his mouth then put his hands in the pockets of his jacket. He looked over my head before looking back at me. “I just saw you leaving Professor Marison’s car.” I blinked and gulped. “Who said it was his car? What are you talking about, Lee?” “I saw him driving that car yesterday when I was getting gas. He was also getting gas too. You know, I, Kang Lee, can memorize things well. That was the exact plate number. So…” He narrowed his eyes. “What are you doing coming out of his car, wearing that?”

Chapter: SIXP E A R LThe feel of cold air on my back made me shiver and groan. Sleep was moving its way out of me but I was not ready for that. I needed more sleep as I could still feel tiredness from the night before in me. At that, I got confused, wondering why I was not hearing the noises and chatter of people walking outside my dorm room. I didn’t hear the footsteps of the room above mine and it made me wonder where I was as I forced sleep out of my body.I opened my eyes and saw white sheets and a pillow. This was not my room and the bed extended farther than my single bed. It made me even more awake. I rolled over and sat up then looked around the expanse of the room. It was huge, probably the size of three dorm rooms put together with large windows and three doors. Sitting on the bed made me feel so small inside the room. Never have I seen such a big space and it was so expensive too.When I blinked, I remembered what happened last night. I had followed Professor Marison to his place and w

I surrendered myself to him and wrapped my arm around his neck, kissing him back with every passion steaming inside me. His lips tasted so good, like the sweet drink he had been drinking and they were soft on mine. He knew just how to make me turn to jelly with those lips because right now, shivers went through my body and my knees were getting weak from the way he was kissing me. When his hands cupped my ass and pushed me closer to his taller frame, I moaned. His hands squeezed my ass and then he lifted me up with a small force. I took that as a sign and jumped upward then wrapped my legs around his waist. He pulled away from my lips and started to walk. I cupped the back of his head and leaned over his shoulder as he walked. The house was huge… The living room we were in
