He kept pushing her limits. Stella Grace forced herself to calm down. "Sorry, I'm not short of money, and I don't sell myself. I have a decent job, and I don't want to be anyone's mistress." "Miss Grace, your friend, Eli Wayne is still serving in the military. She might be a spy, who knows?" Renault Leves said with a devious smile. His words implied that they could easily take Eli's life or even bring her whole family down. Since when did Jasper become like this? He was not the Jasper Milton she used to know anymore. What exactly had he gone through in the past three years? She clenched her fists tightly. The veins on the back of her hand popped. Even her gums were shaking. "Miss Grace, calm down. Mr Miton is a nice person. He does not look for a woman simply to cater to his carnal needs," Renault said. What did he mean by "carnal needs" ? It clearly implied he did it. "That's right. Jasper is already thirty-three years old. I
She understood now. Jasper Milton had no interest in her, but only in the past that she knew. He was probing, observing and scrutinizing her. Her heart felt like someone just stabbed a knife through it. His parents didn't want him to know about his past because they were afraid that he would find her and ruin his future. She didn't want him to know about his past because she didn't want to be a stumbling block to him. Their attempts to protect him had instead turned him cold-blooded. "I don't want to," Stella said. She was annoyed, so she turned her head away from him. Jasper grabbed her into his embrace and said, "I'll bathe you then." Stella struggled against him but his arms were like iron pliers. His hot breath fell on her cold face. She realized her efforts were futile and decided to give up. She sighed. "I'll do it myself." "Choose any room. This is your home now. I'll come whenever I'm free. I'm usual
Stella Grace recalled that it wasn't the safe window period yet as she saw him getting more and more excited. She pressed against his chest and said, "Don't finish in there." Jasper Milton looked at her pink cheeks, and felt that it was about time. He kept till the last ounce to his sanity, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Then he pulled out. Stella felt a burning sensation in her abdomen. She could feel Jasper's breath. Her breathing too, was a little shallow but quick. She calmed down slowly. Jasper smirked but it could barely be seen if one did not pay attention to it. "Well, looks like your body betrayed you? Aren't you one of those women who turn people down but actually want it deep down?" Stella didn't like how he described her. He seemed to be mocking her. She smiled as well, but her eyes were calm. "Have you ever heard that in the face of an unbeatable opponent, it's better to enjoy it than to resist it?" "So,
"Eli, he might ask you about his past. Just pretend that you don't know anything, understand?" Stella Grace instructed. Eli Wayne did not believe it. "Will he ask about that? No way!" "It'll be good if he didn't. But what if? So remember to just pretend," Stella reminded her again. "Okay. They're going to confiscate my phone now," Eli said. She hung up and handed her phone to Jasper Milton's service personnel. She was led to Jasper's office. Jasper was behind his desk, staring into blank space, as though deep in thought. "Chief, Dr. Wayne is here," Lieutenant Shine reported. Jasper picked himself up. "Let her in." Lieutnant Shine pushed the door open. Puzzled, Eli walked in. Jasper had his poker face on, he was inscrutable. "Have a seat." Just those three words were domineering enough.. Eli sat, she lowered her head as she faced Jasper. Jasper got straight to the point. "Take it easy. I just want to ask you a
Eli Wayne noticed the strange look on Stella's face. "What's wrong?" Stella muted her phone and kept it in her bag. "It's okay. There's nothing to be worried about." "Hmm okay. You should help me screen through all the men there later. You're an expert in psychology now. I'll put myself in your hands," Eli said happily. Eli continued telling Stella stories but she wasn't paying attention. She was lost in her own thoughts. Jasper Milton had asked Eli about their past. Based on how well she knew Eli and her reaction just now, she suspected Eli had told him everything and even exaggerated some things. She knew Eli had good intentions but she always got into trouble for that. Stella had gotten used to it. She made a wild guess. Jasper must have known she lied to him and that's why he had asked to have dinner with her. Her heart sank just thinking about it. Maybe it was better not to go, give her some time to herself. "I actually
Damn. Damn. Damn it. Jasper did it on purpose. He knew exactly where she was and what she was doing. Why was he stalking her? She fell into his trap, how annoying. She looked like a clown and he had watched her make a fool of herself. She couldn't escape at all, she could only follow Lieutenant Shine to the car. Lieutenant Shine started the car. "How does Jasper know I'm here?" Stella asked, confused. "Location tracing. It's the same in every mobile phone. The Chief can simply ask someone to track your location and he will get it in a few seconds," Lieutenant Shine explained. "When did you come to the hall?" Stella pressed. "Not long ago," Lieutenant Shine answered concisely. "But you intentionally ignored the Chief's call." "Can you not report this? Just say that I didn't realise he was calling," Stella pleaded. Lieutenant Shine still had his poker face on. "It'll be a serious offence to the Chief if we
Such a ridiculous excuse. "You can find any woman and they will make you feel good," Stella said with a frown. He didn't like her pushing him to another woman, but he couldn't explain why. "All I want is you," he said. She couldn't stop him. He kissed her on the lips, forced his way into her mouth. His hand reached underneath her skirt. Her body was cold. His heart ached a little. Was she not feeling well? Why was her body so cold? He tried to warm her body with his hands. He was not as rough as he usually was. He kissed her lips and unbuttoned her clothes. He lowered his head as he undressed her. Stella sneered as he kissed her. He was so warm, so comfortable as if he was recharging her body. Here she found a trace of the old Jasper. Her eyes welled up with tears, clouding her vision. After he made sure that she was ready, he slowly slipped in... Stella did not see him use contraception. She q
Stella Grace felt that Jasper Milton had changed. He didn't seem to be as... blunt as before. After all, they had both matured. Sometimes it would be better to laugh your way through an awkward situation. There was a connection between them. Stella was shy so she pretended not to understand him. "Didn't you mention dinner? Let's go." She quickly put on some clothes and walked out of the room. She didn't notice that Jasper was smiling. He seemed happy. As Stella sat down at the dining table, Jasper's phone rang. He answered the call and his expression changed. "Got it. I'll come over now." Stella noticed something was wrong. "What happened?" "Something came up at the base. I need to go there now," Jasper explained as he grabbed his coat from the hanger. Stella looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "Are you still eating?" "Nah, I have no time for that. You have my number. I'm only one call away," Jasper said curtly
