Entangled With a Younger Man Chapter 9
Lukas had come back, and he'd seen me holding his phone in my hands.He also happened to see that I was reading the text messages between Gigi and himself.When he realized that I'd discovered his secret, the gentleness in his eyes dispersed immediately. He rushed over and grabbed the phone from my hands.The next time he looked at me, his eyes were wild and ferocious."You read everything?"I decided to tell him the truth."Yes, I did! I read every single word there. I read everything!"I got up to my feet and stabbed him in the chest with my finger as I spoke each word to him."You ungrateful leech! I paid for everything you have, and yet, you still spent my money on a side chick?"Lukas looked at me cockily and shoved me aside. I lost balance and fell, hitting my forehead against the corner of the table. Warm, sticky blood started dripping from the gash.He didn't rush over to help me to my feet like in the past. Instead, he got down and stared at me for a bit before laugh

When I finally came to my senses, I realized that I was in an unfamiliar room. It looked like a run-down inn.Just then, a man in a pair of gold-rimmed glasses slowly walked over toward me with a contract in his hand.I looked up at him and asked, "Who are you?"The man grinned and started laughing. He laughed in an almost cynical manner."Oh Jess, I'm Lukas, remember? I'm your fiancé. We're about to get married!"I stared at him for a few seconds before finally recalling everything.Right, this man was Lukas, Lukas Charter. My fiancé. The love of my life…I continued staring at him in confusion. There was something that just didn't click.Was he really the love of my life?If that was the case, then why was someone else's silhouette appearing in my head instead of him? That silhouette had deep and dark eyes, and he would hold me by my wrists, and tell me that I could never escape him, even with death…That silhouette was nothing like Lukas. He was a lot more good-looking tha

The next time I woke up, I was in the hospital.The room stank of disinfectant, and it stung my nose very badly.I opened my eyes and saw the young man next to me with his head resting on my bed."Who are you?"When he heard me, the man instantly looked at me in surprise."Jessica, you've woken up…"I still stared at him and repeated my question. "Who are you?"The man panicked. He immediately stumbled to his feet, wanting to get the nurse.When I saw him trying to rush out of the door, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing."Hahaha!"Perry stopped in his footsteps when he heard me laughing. Then, he slowly turned around."You got me, Jessica. How dare you trick me again!"I jutted my chin out at him and challenged his stare like I wasn't afraid of anything."I was simply returning the favor. Didn't you also trick me in the past, telling me you were Peregrine Garrison?"Perry was at a loss for words. He raised his hand, wanting to pinch and rub my c

The weightlessness I felt while falling from a great height nearly made me spasm.I finally started regaining my senses. Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings.Wait, what was I doing in such a luxurious office suite? I was sitting in a real leather executive chair too!"Am I… back?"Before I could start making heads or tails or things, someone knocked at the door."Come in!"My instincts worked a lot faster than my brain.Just then, a very handsome-looking young man entered my office. Apparently, he was my secretary."Ms. Martinez, you will need to attend a charity event at Sunshine Orphanage later today."My mind was a blur. What did he just call me? And what orphanage charity event was he talking about?The system suddenly spoke up in my ear to explain things."Congratulations, Jessica Martinez! You got really lucky this time!"It had been a long time since I heard this name. I was stunned. Hadn't I failed in my last mission?"What do you mean by that?"

My secretary drove me to the entrance of a building. I looked up at the sign and felt my eyes light up at once.The sign said, "The Bachelorette". Wasn't this a luxury nightclub famous for its male escorts?In my previous, previous life, this was a place where only the richest female clients were allowed entry. Was it finally my turn now?I recalled my time with Perry, where I'd be locked up in a dark room if my gaze ever accidentally lingered on a handsome guy by a fraction of a second. He would then torture me all day and night.But now, there was nobody here to stop me anymore!I took off the sunglasses on my face after getting down from the car, staring at the doors to the building that were tightly shut. I couldn't help feeling overwhelmed with excitement.So, what if the nightclub wasn't open during the day? I was a rich multi-billionaire with a successful business now!I tilted my chin at my secretary, who understood my signal and immediately called someone on his phone.

Seven years ago, I had transmigrated into a book as the female lead, Jessie Martin, and my mission was to save the antagonist, Perry Grayson, from himself.I had to change him from being the dark, jealous, ruthless, and merciless antagonist into a bright and cheerful young man with a positive outlook on life.I would then be rewarded with 100 million dollars as a reward if I could get him to like me 100%. However, after being with him for seven years, I had only managed to turn into a victim of his perverted paranoia as he tortured me the whole time.All of a sudden, I could hear Perry's last words ringing in my ear once again."Jessica Martinez! You'll never get rid of me even if you die!"Since I stood rooted in place without moving, the young man asked me again, a little more guardedly, "Hey, I'm talking to you. Who are you?"It was only then that I snapped out of my memories and stared at him with fear."I…"My first instinct was to flee. Just as I'd taken a few steps bac

No one could ever resist temptation from such a handsome young man—never mind that he was only 18 years old this year.However, wasn't sponsoring an orphan with excellent academic performance part and parcel of my job as a rich billionaire? I also just had to provide him with food and shelter. That was just too easy for me!So, of course, I didn't bring Peregrine home with me purely for his looks.While I was still trying to convince myself, Peregrine, who'd followed me home, suddenly spoke up."Wow, your house is huge, Jess."His smile was too handsome. I couldn't look away from him.While taking a tour around the house, he suddenly said, "Jess, do you wanna eat me?"What?I thought I misheard him. I hurriedly shook my head and held my hands up. I could barely speak from the shock."No, no way! How could I? I'm not sponsoring you just because I want to do things to you! That's out of the question!"Peregrine turned around to look at me in confusion. He was holding a tomato

I opened my eyes and sat up in shock. I was covered in a layer of cold sweat. I looked to my side. Surprisingly, there was nobody lying beside me."Had it been a nightmare after all?"I sighed in relief. However, a split second later, I heard a voice talking to me."Did you have a nightmare, Jess?"I shuddered and looked up, seeing Peregrine leaning against the door frame while staring at me."I-It's nothing."Then, I started to get up from bed, wanting to escape the sharp, predatory look he was giving me. But, my wrists were caught up once again."Peregrine! What are you doing?"Peregrine watched me struggle. Then, he spoke casually, "You haven't answered my question from last night yet, Jess…"When I heard this, I froze and forced myself to look up at him in disbelief.Peregrine inched closer toward me, forcing me back against the mattress. The familiar heat was starting to envelop me once again."P-Perry Grayson?"Peregrine cocked an eyebrow before nodding in acknowled

Today, I came over to Lukas' clinic for my monthly follow-up appointment with him. I also wanted to tell him that I was calling off the engagement.Lukas was now sitting right opposite me, with his gold-rimmed glasses sitting gracefully on his nose, making him look classy and elegant.He asked me the routine questions, and I answered everything honestly.However, I realized that for some reason, every time I came to Lukas' office, I would take in the nice scent from his diffuser and feel completely at ease. In fact, I would always go along with whatever he said.After we were done with the session, Lukas went to grab some medication for me. The phone he left on the couch suddenly lit up with a ding.I glanced at the screen and saw that it was a text message notification. It was a message from someone he'd set as "Gigi"."Lukey, are you busy right now?"Wait, what kind of nickname was that?According to my years of experience during my mission days, this nickname reeked of a s

It was obvious that the word "fiancé" managed to trigger Perry. I could see the increasing hostility in Perry's eyes and thought that I should quickly send Lukas away before Perry punched him in the nose.However, Lukas' next words shocked me."By the way, Jess, our wedding is going to be next month. When are we going to try on our wedding attire?"I couldn't help exclaiming aloud in surprise. "N-Next month? That's too soon!"Lukas chuckled and pinched my cheek lovingly."Yes, next month. You were the one who insisted on the date. You forgot again, didn't you?"I could feel Perry's eyes burning a hole into my side. However, I wanted to get rid of Lukas as soon as possible, so I just chuckled drily and tried to play it off."No, no I didn't…"Lukas then kissed my forehead happily and continued, "That's good. When the time comes, this kid here can be our groomsman too."I inhaled sharply when I heard this. I didn't dare to look back at Perry's expression, but I knew that he was

I continued to run aimlessly on the streets. Unknowingly, I found myself standing outside a psychology clinic.The doctor inside caught sight of me and immediately rushed out. He asked me with much concern, "What's wrong?"I stared dazedly at the man. He was well-kept and dressed very neatly. As if by clockwork, my mind brought up memories from seven years ago.His name was Lukas Charter. Aside from being my psychiatrist, he was also my fiancé.In the seven years I'd been away, this body of mine had gone through some serious mental illness and nearly attempted suicide a couple of times.Lukas was the one who saved me every time. He was gentle and caring, tall, and handsome, and often took good care of me.Although he was just a regular psychiatrist with an income less than a thousandth of what I earned, I had still decided to get engaged to him.Lukas saw that I was running barefoot and immediately wrapped me up in his coat before bringing me back into his office."Wait here fo
