Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 70: Making the first move
Jayden didn’t say anything else for a moment, but his eyes were still on her, and she knew she could feel them, even if she didn’t look directly at him. There was something in the way his gaze lingered, as though he was sizing her up. Plus, why did his stare feel so different? Usually when he looked at her, she could feel the hatred emitting from his stare, but she couldn't feel it anymore.The tension was subtle, and it felt like there was a silent conversation happening between them, one she wasn’t sure she was prepared for.And then, as if sensing her discomfort, Jayden leaned back into the couch, crossing his arms behind his head in a relaxed manner. “I never knew you were scared of storms? Have you always been scared of them, or did something happen?” he asked casually.Zendaya hesitated as she didn't know how to respond. She was scared but she didn't want to admit her fear as the incident surrounding it wasn't nice, but at the same time, she didn't want to lie to him either.

The tension in the room was so thick at that point that it could cut through anything.Zendaya could feel her heart pounding in her ears, and her breathing quickened, much to her horror. Jayden wasn’t supposed to know just how much he was affecting her, and she considered it embarrassing, as he wasn’t even affected by her.Jayden didn’t move, didn’t speak, but the way he looked at her was enough to make her want to run out of there, not minding if it was into the storm she was scared of.Her mind raced, searching for an escape, but at the same time, some part of her didn’t want one, she liked the thrill of what Jayden was doing and what gave her. It was shocking to see how they had gone from him showing her around the mansion to sharing pasta in a dimly lit kitchen to their current situation.“Stop pretending like you don’t feel anything,” she heard Jayden say to her, and she gulped as she felt her stomach twist into a knot.Blinking, she thought of something to say, but nothing cam

Zendaya froze as she couldn't believe what was happening. Jayden was kissing her! She yelled in her head, and she was enjoying it way more than she was supposed to.She didn't know when she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. Jayden invaded all of her senses and all she could do was let him take the lead and do what he wanted to do to her.Jayden realized this, and he bit her lips softly which made her gasp, and he used the opportunity to slide into her mouth.Fuck, she tasted sweet, he thought to himself as he explored further. This was a place he could gladly die in, and he felt his body screaming for more as it had been a while since he last had his release all thanks to the woman he was kissing.He was sure that if he pushed further, Zendaya wouldn't reject him as he had her wrapped around his finger.However, he refused to give in to that demand as there were a lot of things that still needed to be discussed.With that, he reluctantly broke the kiss, and he rested his head

“Maybe,” she agreed in a soft voice. However, Jayden let himself wonder what it would be like if things were different. “Oh good, it's finally over,” Zendaya exclaimed when the movie finally ended and the credits started rolling across the screen. She stretched slightly, her muscles stiff “You look like you’re about to pass out,” he remarked with a small smileZendaya yawned as she nodded, “Thanks for the observation. You really do observe people.”Jayden chuckled softly and in the next instant, he bent and carried in his arms, bridal style, catching her off guard. “Jayden, what are you doing?” She asked him, but she wrapped her hands around his neck. “Carrying a tired Clownhead to her room, he said as he turned and headed to the stairs. Zendaya didn't bother to argue, as she loved the feeling of him carrying her. “This is your room,” Jayden said, stopping in front of a door near the end of the hall. He pushed it open to reveal a cozy but simple room. It was so plain, she itch

Subconsciously, at the back of Zendaya’s mind, she was happy to have fallen asleep, but that happy feeling didn’t last very long as a particularly loud crack of thunder startled her awake.She clutched her heart which was pounding in her chest and she ran her fingers through her hair roughly as she looked around the room. It was pitch black and she gulped as it felt like someone was watching her. The room didn’t feel so cozy anymore.She sat up and turned on the lamp. The fact that she was unfamiliar with the room, combined with the storm which refused to stop and the mansion’s eerie aura, made her stomach twist and unlike when it had twisted when she was in front of Jayden, it was due to unease this time.Without thinking, Zendaya threw the blanket aside and she got off the bed. Grabbing her phone, her bare feet made its way against the cold floors to Jayden’s room. When she got to his room, she hesitated for a moment outside his door, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She didn’

Zendaya's eyes slowly fluttered open and she was hit with the faint morning light coming in through the balcony of the room. The storm had finally stopped but the effects were still there as the morning was chilly. She yawned and proceeded to turn with the intention of getting up but she couldn't as she found herself being weighed down by something.It took her a moment to realize what it was and then her heart leaped over the sight of it.Jayden’s arm was draped over her and his body was pressed lightly against hers. His even breaths fanned against the top of her head, and she could feel the steady rise and fall of his chest which made her freeze, as she was unsure whether to move or stay perfectly still.Her heart didn't waste any time racing, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.What was this feeling? Why did it feel…right? She bit her lip, trying not to make any sudden movements, as she didn't want to wake Jayden, who seemed to be enjoying his sleep.This wasn't the first

“My dad’s going to the house,” Zendaya blurted.Jayden frowned as he didn't quite get Zendaya. “Wait, you mean your house? The one miles away from here?”“Yes!” she nodded and she started pacing the room. “If he finds out I’m not there, he’ll start asking questions. I can’t let them know I was here, especially not with you.” “What’s so bad about them finding out you’re with me? I’m a great person,” he remarked.“Jayden!” she snapped, glaring at him. “This isn’t a joke.”“Alright, alright,” he said, holding up his hands in surrender. “Why didn't you just tell him that you were with Juliette or Anaya?” He rolled his eyes. “I panicked, okay!” Zendaya responded as she ran her finger through her roughly. “Relax. We’ll figure it out. First things first—we need to get you home without them suspecting anything?”Zendaya’s mind raced as she tried to formulate a plan. Whatever happened, she couldn’t let her father know about Jayden, or he would kill him and then her.Jayden pushed himself o

When Zendaya arrived at her house, her heart dipped when she found her father's car already in her driveway.She took deep breaths to calm herself down before she stepped through the front door, her heart pounding in her chest. When she got to the living room, Lucas was sitting on the couch, and he had a coffee mug in his hand.“Good morning,” he greeted, his voice steady, but due to the secrets she was hiding, it felt like he was already accusing her. “Where were you all night?”Her breath hitched, but she stayed in her spot, as she didn't want to make him suspicious. ‘Have I told you just how much of a terrible liar you are,’ Jayden’s words about her echoed in her, and she frowned a bit as it was time to prove him wrong.She was an actress and so lying should be something that was easy as it was no different from acting.“I was at Anaya’s,” she replied. “We stayed up late working on something, and I figured it was easier to just crash there.”“Are you sure?!” She heard her father

“You're a beast,” Zendaya remarked as she slipped out from under the covers.Although Jayden didn't work her as hard as he did the previous night, he still didn't take it easy on herJayden stirred, propping himself up on one elbow, his blue eyes tracing her every move. She walked into the closet and when she came out, she was with her clothes and not his anymore. He watched her wear her shirt before speaking."Where are you going?" His voice was low and there was a hint of irritation.Zendaya glanced at him over her shoulder as she zipped her jeans. "I need to meet Levi. We have to take care of Matthew,” she replied.Jayden frowned, sitting up fully now, the sheet slipping to his waist. "Take care of him, how?"Matthew was someone he had forgotten all about. After all, the bastard had no more importance in Zendaya’s life."I don’t know yet." She grabbed her phone from the nightstand, and she checked it. "All Levi said was to get Matthew alone somewhere and that he would handle the r
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 94: Her worried friends
After breakfast, the two returned to the room and the atmosphere was calm, a contrast to the whirlwind of emotions from the night before, and Zendaya was content with it. Jayden had decided to work from home, surprisingly, and when she asked him why, he told her because she wanted him to stay back.She didn't tell him, even though the thought ran through her head, and she couldn't stop smiling over the fact that the man she once thought cold and emotionless could understand her without her having to say anything.Jayden’s laptop perched on his lap as he leaned against the headboard. His legs stretched out on either side of Zendaya, who rested comfortably against his chest, scrolling through her phone.Jayden smiled as his wait was finally paying off and all had gone according to his plan. He made a mental note to shove it in his cousin's face, as the asshole had been a pain in the ass about the whole issue.He returned his focus to his screen and his fingers started flying across

The warmth of the bathwater with her dipped inside it made her feel a lot better. Jayden crouched beside the tub, his hand swirling the water lazily as he watched her.She was too relaxed to say anything, but when she felt the weight of Jayden’s stare, she broke her silence.“You’re staring,” she murmured without opening her eyes.“You’re stunning,” he shot back without hesitation.Her lips twitched into a smile, though she tried to suppress it. Jayden’s charm was second to none, and they came out so easily.“Flattery won’t get you anywhere right now, and not especially what you’re thinking.”Jayden chuckled, his eyes shining with amusement. “Who said I’m trying to get anywhere? Maybe I just like seeing you like this.”Her eyes fluttered open, her gaze meeting his. She raised a brow, her voice filled with suspicion. “Like what?”“Content and Happy,” he said simply.She was expecting another answer, and so she didn’t know how to respond. However, his next action proved she had been r
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 92: Peaceful mornings
The sight of him half-baked wearing a dangerously low grey sweatpants made the heat rush in between her legs.Her lips curved upward before she could stop herself and he noticed it. Damn Jayden for looking so handsome.“Good morning,” Jayden said, his voice low and warm.“You’re still here?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “I thought work took you away again.”Jayden smirked, leaning casually against the door frame. “What can I say? I'm full of surprises. Besides, I wasn't planning on leaving you after what happened between us”His words made the memory of their last disagreement surfaced, and her expression softened, a hint of guilt creeping in. “Are you still mad at me?”Jayden’s smirk faded, replaced by something quieter, gentler. He crossed the room in a few strides, sitting on the edge of the bed beside her. “No,” he said firmly. “But I need you to promise me something.”Zendaya tilted her head, her curiosity piqued. “What?”“Don’t lie to me,” he said, his tone serious. “And don’
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 91: Empty bed
“Fuck!” Jayden groaned as he collapsed on the bed. He turned to look at Zendaya, who was staring distantly at the ceiling as he smiled as he touched her thigh, which made her whimper.No more, I can’t feel my legs,” she rasped breathlessly and Jayden chuckled as he had fulfilled his goal of wearing her out.Wrapping his hand around her waist, she buried her head in his chest. “Sleep, darling,” he told her, and she did.****Jayden sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on Zendaya’s peaceful face. Her breathing was steady, her lips slightly parted as she slept.The intimacy of their earlier moments lingered in the room, and it brought a smile to his face.He reached out, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair away from her face and she stirred slightly but didn’t wake, a soft sigh escaping her lips.“I don't want to leave you,” he murmured under his breath, leaning down to press a light kiss to her forehead. “But I have to do this.”He pulled the blanket up, tucking it arou
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 90: The night would be long
Jayden looked at the woman who was in front of him and he sighed. He was mad at her, very mad, but it was increasingly difficult to remain mad when she looked at him with those big blue eyes of hers. He would forgive her in the morning but for tonight, he needed to stand his ground so she wouldn’t repeat what had happened tonight again.As for those two sisters of his, he trusted they would be handled properly as well. Seeing that Jayden wasn’t relenting, she decided to try another way to get him to forgive her and so, she slowly approached him. The closer she got, the more her nerves threatened to overtake her, but she ignored them. This was something she had to do.Apologizing wasn’t going to cut it, and she wanted to see if he would be able to resist her charms.“What are you doing?” Jayden asked when she got to where he was.Without giving herself a chance to back out, Zendaya lifted herself onto her toes, her fingers gently brushing against his back as she leaned in, pressing
Entangled with my Lifelong Enemy Chapter 89: I'm sorry
As Zendaya followed Jayden towards the mansion, the weight of the night pressed heavily on her chest.Her heart pounded in her ears, and her stomach twisted into tight knots, and it wasn't one where she felt butterflies.It was shocking to see just how fast things had gone downhill. Just this morning, he had made breakfast for her, and they had spoken on the phone and now, he was mad at her, rightfully so.‘What the hell have I done?’ Zendaya sighed.Her mind raced as she replayed everything that had led up to this moment. From the moment she stepped into the club, the excitement of being out with Juliette and Anaya had clouded her judgment. She hadn’t meant for it to escalate like this. She didn’t expect Daniel to get so aggressive. But Jayden? She had never seen him this angry, this cold.Well, she had, but back then she didn't care too much about it. Now she did.‘I should have just listened to my gut feeling and stayed home with him.’ she sighed once more.The guilt crushed her.

Zendaya watched in silence as Jayden let Daniel drop to the floor, groaning and clutching his arm. The club's bouncers finally arrived and dragged the defeated man out, but Jayden didn't even glance their way. His focus was entirely on Zendaya. Unlike the past few days where he had looked at her with tenderness, the look in his eyes told her he was angry, very angry at her. "Outside. Now," he ordered, his tone cold and furious. Zendaya didn't dare argue and she nodded. The cool night air hit her skin as she followed Jayden out of the club. She barely had time to process what had just happened before Jayden turned around to look at her, his expression dark with anger. "What the hell were you thinking?" he demanded, his voice sharp enough to cut through steel. "Jayden, I-I. Let me explain,” she said. "Don't," he snapped, holding up a hand, and she swallowed what she was about to say. "Don't even try to explain. You lied to me." "I didn't lie," she countered weakly. Jayd

The loud music blasted through the speakers, and it made the floors vibrate as people yelled on the dance floor.Zendaya stood at a table with Juliette and Anaya, sipping a cocktail that was sweeter than she liked. Her friends were deep in conversation, laughing and pointing at the dancers nearby.Zendaya forced a smile, but her thoughts were elsewhere. Normally, she had no problem with such an atmosphere, but the same couldn't be said at that moment. The music was too loud, the air too stifling, and the crowd too chaotic for her liking. She couldn’t stop thinking about Jayden, what he was doing and how he must have felt when she told him she couldn’t come.He had intended to cook for her, and she had shut him down. Most importantly, she hadn't seen him all day and she missed him."Okay, we need to get you on the dance floor," Juliette declared, snapping Zendaya out of her thoughts.Before Zendaya could protest, Juliette added, "No excuses. You’ve been brooding all night.""I’m not
