JAKEAfter listening to the things Tiffany said to me, I was disappointed in her. I also felt very hurt and betrayed. To think that I was willing to do anything to make her happy, but then she thought so lowly of me. As I went into the guest room and locked myself in, I decided I was going to leave first thing the next morning and that was it. Whatever I had with Tiffany, which I had thought was friendship was over. I was going to kill it, yes, I was done. I took my bath and laid on the bed, but I couldn't get any sleep as the words she had said to me kept playing over and over in my mind."Once I go back, I will send her divorce papers," I told myself.I was surprised to have found some clothes in the room, obviously arranged for Dass by Tiffany's father; a man whom I looked up to, as much as I did my father.I dressed up in one of the pajamas I found there before going back to lie on the bed. I was still trying to get myself to sleep when I heard a knock on my door.I knew it was
TIFFANY "What's a relationship without trust?" I asked Jake.He smiled, "As I said, a relationship needs trust, I couldn't agree more. But that doesn't mean you should turn a blind eye to certain things. Like the issue I just raised.Dass' family members were not present at his wedding and I think that should get you thinking deeply about what happened."I sighed, "Well, let me explain the dynamics of his family's relationship. Dass is an adopted son, he spent some parts of his life in an orphanage and was later adopted by his parents.Later they had a son and Dass became the unwanted mistake in the family. So he basically grew up in an environment where he wasn't loved or wanted.When he took me to his parents, to get to meet them, I could tell that they didn't love him.They merely spoke to me out of courtesy and even when they came over to meet my parents too, they just did it so they would get him off their backs. They never wanted to be involved in the wedding and they've not re
TIFFANY I ran into the room and decided to change my dress. My heart was racing so fast that I could barely control it. I still could not believe I was going to see Dass so soon. Jake was really reliable and choosing to work with him was a wise decision.I wore black jeans, a green tank top, and, a black face cap to conceal my face. From the way Jake describedthe club, I figured it would be a bad idea for me to get spotted or recognized there.When I came out, I noticed Jake had not changed up and was still working on his computer. "Shouldn't we be leaving now?" I asked him. "I mean, if we delay, we might miss Dass."He nodded, "Yeah, don't worry, just give me a few more minutes. I need to send a report right now. You know I'm going to be away from the company for a while, so I need to take care of this.""Can't it wait?" I asked him. "Come on, you're still in your singlet and pants. Just put on something for the club and you can get back to this when we're back."He finally looked
After Jake finally forwarded the report he had been working on, he got up and changed his outfit, putting on jean pants and a t-shirt while holding his jacket in his hand. He normally would have left his work and gone to meet Dass but he could not do that. There was an important meeting to be held the next day and because of helping Tiffany with her problems, he was going to be unavailable for the meeting, so he had to make sure everything was prepared and ready so the important contract he had been working on would not be lost.When he came out of the suite, he was surprised when he could not find her. He decided to go downstairs thinking that she would be waiting around, but still he didn't see her.He called her number repeatedly but she didn't take his calls. He recalled how impatient she had been and figured that she must've gone to the club.He sighed, massaging his temples, "What is wrong with you, Tiffany? Why can't you be patient?"He got into a cab and asked the driver to t
When they arrived at the suite, Jake took Tiffany straight to her room and placed her on her bed. She hugged her knees and tears continued to fall from her eyes. Seeing her condition, he became even more angry and yelled, "What the hell is wrong with you, Tiffany? Why won't you listen? Why are you so stubborn? Look at what happened, the Dass you ran to go and meet, did he come to your rescue? Did he help you?All I asked was for you to wait for a few minutes. You wouldn't have even known Dass was in Vagas if it weren't for the man I asked to tail him. I told you I had someone keeping an eye on him and we were going to get to him. Look at what you did to yourself. If I hadn't gone in there when I did, what would have happened to you?Tiffany, I understand that you love Dass, but that doesn't mean you would neglect your well-being. What happened to your senses? What happened to you? Tiffany, I know you used to be tough, smart, and have good judgment. There are places you walk into comf
JAKEI didn't understand what was going on. Having Tiffany so close and wanting me while in her birthday suit was the greatest temptation I had ever faced.More than anything, I wanted to take her right there and make love to her until she knew only my name but it didn't feel right, and when it came to Tiffany, I could not do her wrong."I love you," she whispered and tried to kiss me again but I caught her hands.She struggled to break free from my hold but I refused to let go. My heart raced uncontrollably as I asked, "What did they do to you, Tiff?"I finally let her go and got up, completely moving away from the couch. I had gotten a boner and my desire for her was at its peak.Nevertheless, I turned my face away from her as I tried to figure out what to do. It was already very late. However, I couldn't keep her with me. It was too dangerous.She suddenly hugged me from behind and my breath got caught in my throat. I turned and stared at her.Against my better judgment, I whispere
JAKEI was tired. I hadn't gotten enough sleep and Tiffany wasn't a child, so I wasn't going to spend my time searching for her. I took a cab and went back to the hotel. As I slumped onto the couch in the living room,I heard a voice from the bedroom and got up."Tiff?"I walked toward the room, stood by the door, and heard Tiffany's voice. She was crying. I suddenly felt bad about the things I had said to her and walked into the room. When she saw me, she covered her face.I walked up to her, sat on the bed beside her, and pulled her into my arms. I stroked her back, saying, "It's okay. It's okay.""No, it's not okay," she replied. "I am so ashamed, I can't believe I tried to cross the line with you. How could I have done something so.....""That wasn't you, okay? The doctor said those guys drugged you. You were most likely not in your right senses and that's why I took you to the hospital. Don't think too much about it, okay? I shouldn't have said anything, but it's just that I d
TWO DAYS LATER"How do I look?" Tiffany asked Jake as she stood in front of him, dressed up. He smiled, "You look good enough for the party.""Thank you," she replied.Her heart was racing. This time, she promised herself that she would not return without Dass. She was putting on a black sexy gown with red lipstick and light makeup on her face. She wore her favorite bangle, the one Dass had gotten for her as a gift.It was a masquerade party and she had gotten just the perfect mask.It was more or less a match with that of Jake because she was still trying to keep a low profile. She didn't want anyone to recognize her at the party. Jake's source had been the one who told them that a masquerade party was going to be taking place on a cruise ship. He had seen Dass' name on the guest list after tracking him for a few days. In fact, during the past two days, she had felt as though she would not get the opportunity to meet Dass again, as they did not get any news from Jake's contacts, b
