—JENNIFER—The moment car was parked in the society, I climbed off without uttering a word and headed for the lift without looking back. Thankfully, the elevator doors were closed before he could reach. Entering inside the penthouse, I directly went inside my room and slammed the door shut. Velvet startled at first but then, she ran towards me and jumped in my stretched arms, licking my fingers. I, in return, kissed her nose and head for various times forgetting the anger bubbling inside me. I had researched enough about ragdolls and since they can live almost twenty four hours alone just with a perfect settlement of their needed things, then it wouldn't be a problem for them to be on their own.Changing into my night clothes, I slipped under my blanket and didn't realise when playing with Velvet, sleep engulfed me. Next morning I ignored Christian all the way, even skipped breakfast so that I didn't have to face him and headed out. In another five minutes, I was in the parking l
—JENNIFER—“ Does it even matter?? When at the end you are going to do whatever you please.” I asked, staring at him with a mocked smile. He didn't answer for a moment and just stared back. “Alright. Tell me, what do you want me to do? “ He asked. “ I just want you to stop controlling my life. “ I said, making him frown. “ I did no such thing. “ His expressions hardened. “ Oh really?? Then how would you explain planting Morris on my head twenty four seven?? “ I huffed, raising a brow. “ I told you that's only for your safety.” He answered, Immediately. “ Oh cut it, please. I'm not someheir to a real estate that people would waste their time on me. ” I failed my hands in exaggeration. “ You don't understand that.” He gave me a hard look. “ I understand very well. You just want to ensure that I don't do anything stupid and stay in line. “ I said, bitterly. “ I. Said. That. Is. Not. True. Princess.” His jaws clenched and clamped my mouth shut immediately. We both fell into a
—JENNIFER— “ What?? “ I laughed in surprise at Mary's words as she told me about how her five years old elder daughter informed them about being in love with some Jack boy. “ Yes!! And when I asked if she loves Jack more or daddy. She answered Jack. “ “ Damn. The father must have had a heartbreak. “ I giggled, picking another grape from the bowl in my hand. “ A massive one!! “ We both giggled again. Just then the footsteps fade in and my giggles died down as Christian stood in the entrance of the kitchen with his coat jacket hanging on his forearm. His eyes directly stopped on me, making me forget to breathe for a moment. It took me some seconds to contain myself. Pressing my lips into a thin angry line to make it very visible that I'm still angry with him, I looked away. From the corner of my eye, I caught him smirking before exiting the kitchen. Mary cleared her throat and I looked up at her, only to find her smirking at me with a raised brow. “ So?? Not on talking terms ag
—JENNIFER— Thankfully, I caught her sight before Christian could. When her eyes caught me, she opened her mouth and I knew what was coming. Before she could give her happy ‘meow’ I started coughing hysterically. Christian looked up at me instantly and placed his laptop on the table. “ W-Wa…ter!! “ I choked. Damn!! My acting skills are lit. He quickly reached for the glass of water on the table and hurried towards me. I glanced behind him at the Velvet who was in no mood of stopping, she even sped up. I coughed with even more intensity and choked out the words. “ N-Not… . Y-oura.. S… “ He glared at me “ Drink the damn water, Jennifer!! “ He growled trying to make me drink but I pushed the glass away from my mouth. “ F…ro.m kitch..n. “ I checked again. Mumbling something about me being a stubborn brat, he hurried out of the room. As soon as the door closed behind him I ran towards Velvet. “ You little spawn of the devil! “ Grabbing her in my arms while she licked my hands, I r
—JENNIFER —“ HeLlo JeNniFer!! CaN wE mEeT ?? “ I frowned reading the text and when I could recognize the number, I decided to text back. “ I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you?? ” I typed pressed the send icon. The reply was almost immediate. “ MicHaeL here!! ChrIsTiaN's CouSiN?? “My mouth formed into an ‘O’, remembering then I frowned again. Why on earth does he want to meet me? “ Why do you want to meet ME?? “ I sent another message. “ I nEed YouR heLp. PleAse!” Came his reply. I contemplated for a moment before reply to him with an ‘Okay’ but only at the condition of him coming to my decided place. Choosing the nearest cafe that I've known for some time now, I informed him and took a bus for myself. When I reached there, Michael was already there, sitting at the table.Reaching near him, I cleared my throat to grab his attention and he immediately looked up at me.“ Hey!! “ He flashed me a big smile which I reciprocated nervously. “ Hey!! “ I answered, taking the chair op
—CHRISTIAN—“ Jessica Bell !!” I gritted my teeth seeing the woman, walking in my office as If her father owns the place. “ Hello love!! Missed me.” She gave a slutty smile as she settled herself on my table in front of me. “ What are you doing here?? “ I was barely keeping myself from ripping her throat out. “ I came to see you.” She bent down deliberately, trying to give me a view of her cleavage but my eyes were busy boring a hole into her forehead. “ You've got to be too shameless to show your filthy face to me.” I spat bitterly. “ Ah, how much I've missed this crispy anger of yours.” With a widened smirk, her hand reached to trace my face but I caught her wrist mercilessly before she could even touch me. “ Ah!! “ Her whine didn't affect me the way it used to five years ago. “ Chris! “ Her using my nickname fueled my anger and my hold tightened around her wrist, definitely bruising her. “ Do. Not. Call. My. Name. From. Your. Filthy. Mouth.” I growled at her, making her eyes
—JENNIFER—Just like my usual habit, my sleep was disturbed at midnight because of my stomach rumbling. I wasn't hungry, just craving. Leaving Velvet sleeping under my blanket, I headed to the kitchen and was stunned seeing the fridge full of chocolate stuff. I hadn't gone shopping for like, the last two weeks. I was even eating the remaining things slowly so I wouldn't run out. A warm smile took over my shock because it didn't take a genius to guess who did it.Taking out a large Chocolate Ice cream tub, I headed out but stopped seeing the light of Christian's study still on. I walked towards the room and pushed open the door quietly. He was working on his laptop, so engaged that didn't even realise my presence. My jaws fell open seeing so many papers, documents , files scattered around the table and couch. Four empty coffee mugs in front of him and the fifth in his hand as he typed with his empty hand. I cleared my throat to grab his attention and he looked up.“ You are still
—JENNIFER—I was again late for my university since I chose to read another romance novel and give moral support to my husband instead of completing my sleep. Bumping into tables and chairs, I reached the dining area and stopped seeing my sweet husband growling over his phone while struggling with his tie, Again. I walked up further into the kitchen and stopped in front of him with my arms crossed over my chest. He stopped his struggle and looked at me. “ Find the damn file before I arrive, James , otherwise consider yourself dead.” Growling, he disconnected the call and sat on the counter stool. “ You shouldn't talk to your employees like this.” I said, stepping between his opened leg and started knotting the tie. “ I pay them to work.” He hissed, through his clenched jaws. “ Exactly you pay them to work, not for getting disrespected by you. “ I looked into his eyes, fixing his collars. The distance between us wasn't very decent. But I found myself surprisingly comfortable. No
