I didn’t expect the sudden dizziness I felt when I smell the ammonia in his handkerchief. All of my awareness had been blocked out. And I fainted.
Francis POV
The day that I was taking a nap at my house after going back from Beacon and learn about Jamie.
I called Williams for updates about her and I learn that she will be having a vacation here.
But the thing I got jealous of is that she travels with a man, I know she’s with her best friend, but after everything, I experience about the relationship I’ve been very territorial especially for what is mine.
Yes, I want her to be mine… That’s why I planned of getting to be close to her. I need to get her at my place for us to know each other, the way she looked at me a while ago she is angry at me.
If I didn’t do this we will never have the chance. This moves ruined my image of her but who cares, I don’t want to lose her.
Since the first time I laid my eyes on her, I already felt something from my heart.
Until I got the report about her it doubled my eagerness to have her and take care of her. This may sound crazy but I need her for me to be healed from my past…
She is my fortress if only I could tell that to her right now but I don’t want her to freak out and hated me for what I’ve done to her, I’ll make sure that this vacation for her will be memorable and she will never forget it.
One of the boys ask me where will we bring her on our way to the exit, they help me clear our path while I carry her to my car.
I don’t let them touch her that’s how I want her. I went to the back of the car and let Nate drive us to the port wherein my favorite Yacht is waiting on us.
I let Nate arrange everything for us for our first date together. Every detail is well prepared just for her. This is just one of my hundred Yacht but this one is my favorite.
I named it Crown Princess, it's my new Yacht collection actually, I’ll change into names when I found the one that stays with me till we grow old…
I carry her to the cabin of my Yacht and after that, I got out. I see Nate standing not far away from the Yacht waiting for me… “
Are you sure, you need to do this to her?”
“Trust me Nate this will work…”
“Give me a call if things won't work out.”
“Yeah, I’ll do that”
“But right now I just need to get to know her..”
“What about her companion?”
“You’ll do as I say..”
“They are at the hotel right now.” Said Nate,
“I’ll give a call to her friend later, I’ll explain to them..”
“No need, just enjoy your time with her! I’ll arrange a tour for her friend over our place”
“Ok, bro! I know you have a tolerance on her…” I said after patting his shoulder. He just smiles at me.
“ Yeah! Go! Get going before she woke up and discover your pathetic ways of getting to know her…” I said to him.
“If she only knows how lucky for her to have you…” Franz looks at Nate like he wants to tell him that he owes him a lot but he just nods and turns around to go in the Yacht and start the travel.
Nate is kind of moody right now. He never expects that dealing with Diane, Jamie’s friend makes everything difficult for him.
She freaks out when she discovers that we kidnapped Jamie for my friend's sake.
And she has the guts to kick me where I can’t tell the heaven and earth. She kicks me in the middle as if I can’t peep the whole night.
That woman is pissed at us, she hated us for what happened. Diane is also beautiful, if things didn’t happen fast maybe I could court her.
She was the first woman to hurt me that way! And she has his boyfriend with her so it's impossible to get to know her.
In my 36 years of life, I tried once to be in a relationship but after that, I have been busy assisting Francis in all of his business engagement since he became the CEO of the company.
We're like brothers even though he's older than me.
I stay at his side since the time of his failed marriage with Kiara, I saw how he suffered a lot.
That incident broke him so much, that is why I help him in arranging this date for him and Jamie.
I like her to be with him, by the day I’m investigating her I begin to admire her.
Her courage to finish her study even though she is alone in life, her courage to continue life with a positive outlook gives me the feeling of being grateful for having a complete family that supports me.
Yes, I have a complete family… I still have my parents and my only brother. I’m the younger, my eldest brother is the one running our own company, his encouraging me to help him but I choose to work with Francis.
I’m such a nuisance in the Family. Maybe because I am the younger so I can do whatever I want without thinking about my future. ON the Yacht As my consciousness comes back, I stretch my arms, all of the things that happen sink in my head.
I stand up, as I saw him sitting on a couch near the bed I laid on. As I saw him watching me while sleeping I feel so ashamed.
Why did he do that?
“Where am I ?, What do you want? You have the guts to kidnap me! You Bastard!” She said as she freaks out.
“ Is that a new line for getting to know you?” I look at him straight in his eye to express my hatred for him.
“ You bastard! Who gave you the idea that I want to know you?! I will never do that!”
I yell at him to let out my frustrations on our first meeting at Beacon.
“Really…” he touches my face and I shiver as the feeling like 1000 volts of current are running in both of our skin
"No! Don’t touch me!” I hold his hand to stop him from caressing my face because I’m afraid that my body will betray me…
“Why the sudden aloofness my love?” he told me.
I look at him and said, “ What do you want?” I look back and said,
“I want to know you…” Jamie was speechless she never expects that this man is also interested in her as she wants him to.
She stands up and laughs at him to mask her desire for this man. “Are you kidding me MR.?”
“I’m serious Jamie I want you!” And she laughs at me. I was so insulted by the way she figured out what I said.
“ Oh! Nonono. This can’t be, you kidnap me just to tell this? Are you crazy!” I said to him.
“I just want to stay with you while you're on leave…” I said to her.
“ What about my friends, we supposed to have a peaceful vacation and you ruined it! You ruined my plans!” “It's not ruined, ed love... We can travel to San Francisco with this Yacht. And after 2 days we will go back to my place and I promise you will enjoy the scenery..”
“ Why did you do this huh?!”
“As I was saying, I want you! And I want to know you… Spend your entire vacation with me…”
“Then what about my friends? Diane, John and Damien…” After hearing Damien’s name I saw him frowned as if I said things that pissed him off.
“No! You spend your vacation with me! And that’s final!” As he uses his boss dominating voice on me.
“Don’t instruct me on what to do, because you don’t have the authority!” I yell at him.
“ I will do spend my days on the people I want to spent with..” She added. I look at her with jealousy in my eyes.
“My patience is too thin Jamie don’t force me to be rude to you!” I saw him clasp his hand as if he’s so angry about what I said.
“You bastard! You kidnap me just to follow all your ways! I hate you!”
He comes near me and holds the back of my head to kiss me. I can’t stand the feeling that it's giving me. I like his kiss. I like to be caress by him, and the kiss is real! I open my eyes to see what his reaction, he closes his eyes as if tasting the best candy he might have at the moment.
I was given in by the situation… I don’t even know that my hand that was at my side was now hugging his neck.
He deepened the kiss that it felt so intoxicating… It was like a drug that keeping both of us alive.
And this is my first kiss, I felt his hand going to my breast as he caresses it I came back to reality.
“No! Don’t!” I hold his hand to pull it off from the inside of my shirt.
"Ok! We have a lot of time love!” He turned around for me to fix my appearance before we go out and see the scenery outside.
“Fix yourself… I’ll wait for you outside..” As he got out.
I was about to shout but I realize that he was outside waiting for me…
“ Is this true?” I ask myself…
“ If it is a dream, please… don’t wake me up!” I told to myself.
I touch my lips and I can still feel his lips touching mine… I was acting like a teenager at the moment.
And the fact that it's my first kiss, I feel so embarrassed that I don’t even know how to answer his kiss… It is so shameful… As I was waiting for Jamie outside, I was smiling at myself. I will make her stay with me, I swear to myself.
I will take a fair fight with Damien but right now I don’t know if I can control myself.
If I could make her mine now I will do it but I don’t want her to doubt my intentions on her, or my purpose either. I will make her fall in love with me.
I promise to myself because right now all I want is her. She is my peace of mind... She is like my long lost behalf...
Jamie POVAs I go outside and found him standing outside with his back on me. I admire his feature first. He's the man that I dreamed about…The way he stands is overflowing with confidence, authority, and bossy character.I ask myself, am I ready to gamble? This man is a good catch not just in his status in life but his feature alone is catchy…"I hmmm!…” Myself, for him to acknowledge my presence.He looked at me in the eye and I was like a lost puppy that I don’t know what to do…This man has a big impact on my body…“Darn!” I warn myself you like a grade 3 Jamie…Starting to be with your crush huh! I was as a teenager, it's so embarrassing…“Are you ready?” As I approach him he looked at me…“You look stunning love!” he said. I wore a maxi dress that suited my fair skin, I paired with string sandals.“ Found it at the cabin, It suits me very well… How do you know my size?" I said as I tested him…“Nope! Not at all..”He said, " I bought that especially for you” and I can’t say any
Jamie POVI wake up with my body so sore and hurt that I feel like I went hiking on Mount Everest but I need to go to the bathroom to clean up.I saw him still sleeping beside me his hand hugging along my stomach. I was about to stand up but he pulled me from his body and locked me in his arms…“Where are you going?” he says with his voice so husky because of sleeping…“I’m going to wash up!” I told him as I was trying to stand up… I forgot were both nude at that time, I saw him smirking as my fair back exposed to him.“Do you need help, love?” He told me.I look at him and said “No… I can do it myself…” I hold the quilt to wrap it on my body and saw him naked lying in the bed, I pulled the pillow I used and throw it to him.“ You pervert! Cover yourself!” I told him as I feel my face so red, because of him being shameless.I smiled at myself because of that embarrassment I felt.It's not bad after all his body is perfect, with his biceps in its place. I can see that even if he'sss bus
As we were on the dock, Francis talked to me as saying I was the best thing that happened to him and me. I was just silently listening to what he say. We reached the resorts as my feelings for this man added my confusion to what was happening. then we arrived at our destination. i was about to turn around and headed first, but i was caught off guard to what he said after “Do you trust me on this?" I stop midway into stepping my foot into the ladder of the Yatcht to what he was asking. Can I trust this man? “……” I don't know how to answer, really! Me and him... Is such a complicated topic... I nod obediently even though I don't wanna agree with him.. I can’t say anything. All I want now is to take whatever Diane might bombard me after this, the time that I disappear without further notice to them. I know she’s worried sick about my well-being! And DAMN! He comes near me and holds my hands… “ Love! were on this together... Remember that, whatever happens, you can lean on me…” His
Jamie POV We already arrived at the Presidential Suite of the hotel when I get a chance to talk about our conversation on the elevator a while ago. “I’m sorry about that… I shouldn’t be the one to open about that. “ He looks at me and I was so conscious the way he stares at me as if he was about to swallow the whole out of me. I freak out… “What the hell! Stop that will you…. Stop staring…” I told him, his stares, the way he looked at me was the way he uses to make a silent conversation on me… And it touches my heart, some say eyes are the window of our soul and I believe in that sayings… It feels like our heart communicates when he does that, and I find it amusing… He was never a nagging guy just like Damien. Is it because of the age gap between the two gentlemen? Or either he was more matured and his understanding is more broaden than Damien. But he has a dominating and possessive side but it's tolerable. He gives the feeling of security. I turn around and went to the window and
It takes minutes when I was done taking a bath, I found him on the balcony talking on his phone to whoever was on the other line it must be a business call, this man is always busy… She told herself as she can`t avoid her amusement on the latter. I hmmm as a sound for him to acknowledge my presence behind him, and I was right… He turned and looked back at me. That smile is the most precious one for a wealthy snobbish man like Franz. And he gave me... This man is more catchy doing that. Honestly, he is undeniably more handsome when he smiles. And I was like “….” Stunned, the moment I saw him grinning. It gives me the confidence to be silly and unrestrained when I`m with him. He stretches his other hand as a sign for me to go near him… I wink at him and tease him before I turn around to go to the bedroom to get ready. I wear a two-piece swimsuit and top it with a summer dress and my usual slipper… I looked at myself in the mirror and it remind me of the first time we met and e
Jamie POV After were done with our dinner we decided to go to the seashore to be refresh and to unwind at the same time. Diane got tipsy with the wine that we drink for dinner and she became more active than a while ago. Maybe she is taking advantage of being single. She is laughing but I know deep down she hasn’t overcome the breakup it's just been 5 hours ago so my friend is finding a way to forget what happened. And I’m so sad because I can see she is trying to hide her pain. Why John did this to her? I was thinking because right now I can’t say against John, I haven’t heard his side yet… I want to help them settle their issue but even I didn’t know where to start. Only they can fix their issues… I Don’t want Diane to suffer, as I see her struggling with her pain I’m also breaking inside. I tried to accompany him as much as possible. We didn’t finish the wine a while ago but she urges Franz and Nate to just buy the whole bottle and she takes it with us, she is drinking while we ar

Sexy, beautiful, and from the looks of it, she is from a wealthy clan and not to mention she looks like a product endorser or a model compared me to that woman, Damn! I’m nothing…I’m just an employee from a pizza parlor and a call center agent… And with this man attracts a lot of attention, it brings out the monster side of me… All the different feelings that he gave me was really scary on my part… I don’t know how to deal with it… I’m a newbie when it comes to this…We approach the suite, both of us can’t start a conversation. I prepared to be in a silent war with him, I’m afraid I can say things I might regret so I just shut up.And also scared his answers was not the way I want to hear. On the other han

As I was waiting with her I called Williams to extend Jamie’s vacation and we talk about thing’s I find strange to Mr. Williams concerned about her. If I didn’t question their relationship the last time we talk I will get jealous… Instinct saying that there’s so much more about him that so involved with her. “ Hello, Mr. Ribbs! What’s up?” He asks…“Hey, Mr. Williams… I just wanna ask a favor on you…” He said“What is it?” Williams ask. “I just want to know if you can extend Jamie’s leave of absence for another week?”“Mr. Ribbs. You know how the business works… So why do I need to approve that?” he asks in return.. testing Franz.“Even if I offer a partnership? It’s just another week and no more…”“Give me your reasons why I need to follow you…” he raised his eyebrows when he said that.If only he could tell everything
Chapter 71: Wedding Jamie POV After the coincidence encounter with Damien and Cherie, Franz became silent all the way home, he preferred to give her a silent war than to talk about it. Jamie didn’t know if they could talk more during the trip or if it would be better to just keep quiet. I want to shout at him because things already becoming ridiculous... Why is it my fault again? She didn't know that they will meet with Damien and Cherie again and besides they are already a couple so there's nothing wrong with greeting them. And I was surprised too for God's sake! Did I deserve to be treated this way? All of a sudden he is incomparably sweet and sometimes not! I have also feelings… And it hurts to know that he doesn't trust me when it comes to this. When will that cold shoulder he's giving will passed? Punishment is too much really... On what grounds? That’s childish! And ridiculous! “What did I do to deserve your silent treatment?” Jamie uttered while they were heading home. “Noth

I have nothing more to ask for, when she’s with me my humanity comes out. This date was carefully planned with Nate's help of course. He still believes that we can get back together. I can’t blame him… Daine and he is doing great while I have a messed-up relationship, all of a sudden he and Jamie were back to square one… And he feels like he was back to being a teenager who didn’t know how to tame his girl. He’s already doomed but it’s still not enough that foot is a bit away from falling. When will the suffering stop? He is losing hope.

Jamie POV Her night is ruined by Franz's appearance at the party and all she could do now is to force herself to not be affected by what he was doing. She ignored him! But his effect on her cannot be denied. This aura that Franz exudes this night is one of the things that he didn’t have when they were still together. He was so gentle to her back then. And he was more arrogant, unapproachable, and distant… Maybe he already learned from the past. Did he come here to take revenge on me? For leaving him when he needed her the most… OMG! What will I do?! How can I explain to him about Lucho… Her breathing became heavy when she remembered her encounter a while ago, Jamie scratches the middle of her brows… She didn’t know how to settle this.

God knows I did everything to make Ali pay for what he’d done! Now I know all the reason’s why he did that. He is my brother but what he did is really unforgivable… All the evi
