When Jane woke up, her eyes were bloodshot. For a moment, her brain was not working. After a while, she suddenly remembered what had happened last night.She sat up with a loud thump.When she looked around her, the man was nowhere to be seen.She let out a sigh of relief as a shot of pain coursed through her heart. When she got up, she realized that she had been sleeping naked the whole night. She scoffed at herself. How confident was she to sleep soundly next to that man?She lifted her hand and slapped herself.She would allow herself to sleep with anyone except Sean Stewart!She felt her heart tightening from anxiousness. Even if it meant being locked up in jail and spending a night next to a toilet, she would not and could not fall asleep next to Sean.How could she do that? How could she sleep so calmly next to that man?That man was Sean Stewart!Her slaps sounded crisp and clear. The more disappointed she felt, the harder she slapped herself.Jane sat on the bed. Her
Jane knew she had gone insane.Right now, she looked stunning in front of Sean. She looked even more stunning than three years ago. However, she did not know this.“Tell me.”She was not scared to lose anything because she did not have anything to lose.“I want…” Sean said while feeling a little dazed. Suddenly, he stopped talking.His expression changed and he glanced at the woman. “What can you give me?”He had always been rational and cold. He had always been that way. How could he allow a woman to disrupt his train of thought?His grandfather’s words lingered in his ears. He had said, “When someone is able to affect your emotions and choices with their presence, don’t hesitate. End them.”Jane was ruined. ‘Luka. Luka, I’m still so useless.’“Why? Mr. Stewart, I’m useless to you. Please give me a break, and let me go. It’ll be just like letting an animal go. It’s so easy and simple. Why won’t you just let me go?”She was decrepit. “I’ve done three years in prison. I have n
In the middle of the night.Jane walked alone in her residential area. She went up to the second floor and noticed that the lights on the corridor were not working.She looked around and thought that only the lights on this floor were not working, so she carefully made her way upstairs. When she got to the third floor, the lights over there were not working as well.She took out her phone and used the light on her phone to brighten her path. She slowly made her way back home.Finally, she got to the entrance of her unit. Jane shivered. “Mr. Callen, why are you here?”“I’ve been waiting so long for you.”“...” She asked him why he was here and not how long he had been here.“What’s wrong?” Jane took the key in her hand, but she did not unlock the door in front of Callen. She still feeling defensive. Callen understood why she was behaving like that. There was a flash of excitement in his eyes.The feeling of dominating a defensive prey was amazing.“I’m hungry.”“Ah?”“I said,
When Jane’s cheque appeared in front of Alora again, she looked at Jane and put away the cheque. “You should know that Callen is not innocent.”“Yeah.”Alora lifted her eyebrows. “If you know, why did you accept his money?”Jane did not say anything.Alora did not talk about it again. No one knew more than her that Jane needed a huge amount of money.“There’s not much time left.” Alora reminded.“I still have to try.”“What do you want to try? Jane, just give up.”“No.”“Do you hate Mr. Stewart that much?” Actually, Alora wanted to say, ‘Mr. Stewart does not treat you that badly. When you were sick, he even carried you to the hospital. When you insisted on working while you were sick, he hired a private doctor to check up on you after you fainted. He didn’t allow me to tell you all these.’Alora did not know what had happened between Jane and Sean. She only witnessed those scenes, so in her opinion, she thought that there was no need for Jane to be so scared of Mr. Stewart.
Jane could not read his mind at all.Callen was looking at Jane while thinking if he should end this hunt.Jane loved money. He could only attack her weakness if she loved money. He needed to approach her again and again so that he could hunt her.In this hunting game, money was the bait. She was the prey.The fun part of hunting was watching the prey’s slow struggle.However, when this woman asked for money, Callen felt that it was time this game ended because it was too… low.“It’s late. I should go.” Callen patted his pants and bade her farewell.Jane pursed her lips together and said, “Let me walk you out.”“No need.” His voice was dull. One would feel awkward in a situation like this.He was being too obvious.“No, I still need to.”Jane closed the door and was ready to walk this man out. He had been here a few times, but she only ever walked him to the door of her dorm. This was the first time she walked him downstairs.“Miss Dunn.” Callen smiled suddenly. There was a
That hand lifted the hair on her forehead. Even if she was stupid, she knew what that man was trying to do.“Mr. Callen, do you not know how to respect other people’s wishes?”“People?” Callen’s thin lips moved. “Didn’t you say that you’re a b*tch who will do anything for money? Even if I’m not from the Hua kingdom, I still know the saying, ‘leading the life of a b*tch but still wants a monument put up for one's chastity’. Is that right?”Jane felt pain in her heart. Then, she started mocking herself. She was too sensitive. She was already a b*tch, so why was she still being pretentious?However, she still tightened her hands that were held behind her. The skin of her palm was sliced open by her nails, but she could not feel any pain at the moment.“Anywhere is fine, just not here.” She looked into his eyes stubbornly. Her eyes were red, and she did not blink. “No means no.”“What if I insist?”Jane lowered her gaze and did not say anything else. Callen felt that this woman was
Despite being furious, Jane knew one thing. Callen was right.She lowered her head, but Callen did not urge her. After a while, she lifted her head. “I have a request. You can’t force me with brute strength. If not, I won’t be able to avoid you. You should know this clearly, Mr. Callen.”“Okay.”Callen answered frankly. His brown eyes glinted. ‘Idiot, am I not imprisoning you if I don’t use brute strength on you?’He was much faster than her when it came to speed.Jane looked at Callen cu
The first time he saw her, she was just like a breathing corpse.…Whenever Jane saw that figure at the entrance of her dorm in the following days, she would feel an itch on her palms.She kept suffering defeat in her battles with him, and yet, she kept on fighting despite these continual setbacks.Slowly, her wound was not as sensitive as before. It was as if the wound was no longer the same as it was previously each time it was touched by the man’s lips.However, it still hurt.Jane co
