He Had Me On A Contract Chapter 21
I shifted awkwardly on my feet, trying to gather my thoughts. How well did we know each other? Professionally? Enough to get by. Personally? Barely at all.Paula, still smiling as if this were her favorite part of the day, leaned closer, her sharp gaze sweeping over us. “Let’s start simple. What’s Miss Miller’s favorite color, Jaime?”I turned to him, arching a brow, curious about what he would say.Without missing a beat, Jaime’s lips curved into a subtle smile. “Blue,” he said, his voice steady.I blinked. He was right.Paula raised an eyebrow at me. “Is he correct?”“Yes, but…” I hesitated. “How did you know that?”Jaime shrugged, looking smug. “You always choose blue pens during meetings. And your laptop case is navy. It wasn’t hard to figure out.”I felt my cheeks warm at the casual observation. He noticed things about me? Why?Paula clapped her hands again, clearly pleased. “Good! Attention to detail. That’s a strong start.”“Your turn,” she said, spinning toward me. “What’s Jai

He continued what he was doing, completely absorbed in his task. I didn’t mind watching him, his movements were so fluid, so purposeful, it was as if his hands instinctively knew what they wanted. Watching him like this gave me a strange sense of peace I didn’t realize I craved. The silence between us stretched on, but it was comfortable, almost soothing.“When I was in school,” he began suddenly, breaking the silence. He glanced at me with a soft smile. “I had a roommate who loved cooking. To him, it was therapy, a way to escape the chaos of the world. I used to watch him all the time. Before I knew it, it became my therapy too.”He didn’t need to check if I was paying attention; I was utterly captivated, hanging on every word. Who is this man? He felt so different from the one I thought I knew, it was disarming, almost surreal.“Yeah, I get it,” I said, my voice soft. “Cooking can be therapeutic. Right here, right now, it feels like therapy.”His eyes met mine for a moment, silenci

I woke up the next morning with a strange, jittery energy buzzing through me. Even so, I couldn’t bring myself to turn on my phone. Somehow, I just knew my face would be plastered all over the media.Pressing my face into my pillow, I screamed, muffling the sound as reality dawned on me.I knew what I had signed up for, I knew this was part of the deal, so why was I feeling like this?“What are you doing?” Jessy’s voice cut through the air, pulling me from my loop.Groaning, I flopped onto my back and screamed again this time without the pillow covering my mouth because I wanted to let out all the feelings that were compressing to my chest.“Let me guess,” she teased, sitting on the edge of my bed, “last night didn’t go quite how you imagined?”I covered my face with my hands, my voice muffled. “It was a disaster. Every time I knew he was watching, I completely froze.”Jessy was enjoying this far too much. “Okay, tell me how you feel.”Before I could respond, her phone buzzed. Her eye

Stunning.That was the first word that came to mind the moment I laid eyes on her.Clarissa Miller had always been beautiful, anyone who saw her would agree. But tonight, there was something different. Something radiant. It might have been the way her smile lingered, or how the sleek black knee-length dress fit her like it was made for her alone. Whatever it was, Hope had worked her magic, and I couldn’t deny that it worked well.As Clarissa slid into the car beside me, there were so many things I wanted to say, but none of the words would form. Each thought stayed perched on the tip of my tongue, refusing to leap into the silence between us.The car moved, but the air was heavy, an awkwardness settling between us like a wall I wanted to break down.“So…”“Thanks for this.”We spoke at the same time, our words overlapping. I glanced at her, and she smiled softly, easing the tension just a little.“Ladies first,” I said, offering her a playful grin.She looked away for a moment, then b

For the first time in months, I allowed myself to sleep in. The feeling was pure bliss, and I wasn’t ready to give it up.“You don’t want to eat breakfast? It’s right here in front of you,” Jessy’s voice cut through my haze as she tugged at me, urging me to eat the meal she had prepared.She had taken the day off so we could spend time together, a rare treat considering how hectic things had been for both of us.I grumbled, tightening my eyes shut and refusing to get up. Even though I was wide awake now, I couldn’t bring myself to leave the warmth of my bed. Deep down, I knew that the moment I stood up, reality would hit me like a freight train.“This is for Zoe,” I whispered to myself, a mantra I repeated every time guilt crept in about the situation I had willingly placed myself in.My phone buzzed on the bedside table, jolting me. Groaning, I reached for it and froze the moment I saw the sender.‘The driver will pick you up in an hour. Be ready’I bolted upright, clutching the shee

For the first time since I met Adriel, I saw a genuine smile on his face, a real one that crinkled his eyes and revealed his teeth in full display. It was mesmerizing, radiant, and utterly unexpected. I couldn’t look away. If I thought he was handsome before, this smile was a transformation I wasn’t prepared for.Realizing I was staring, I cleared my throat and quickly dropped my gaze to the floor. It was better to count imaginary specks of dust than let him see how deeply I have been staring at him.“I’m sure this will go well,” he said, his voice steady and confident. “You won’t regret your choice. This is going to be a blast.” His eyes stayed fixed on me, but I refused to look up.I reminded myself why I was here. None of this was real. Adriel Jaime wasn’t my boyfriend; he was using me because it was convenient. I was just a stand-in for the countless women who’d drop everything to be in my shoes.If he had ever announced that he needed something like this, it would be an audition

The past week has been chaotic. Meetings polled together, deadlines piled up, and the air in the office felt thick with tension. Everyone was walking on eggshells, the whispers about Mr. Jaime’s media scandal never far from anyone’s lips.After a particularly disastrous third meeting of the day, I was sorting through notes when Mr. Jaime approached me. His presence was controlling, even in moments like this.“Come to my office when you’re done,” he said briskly, his tone leaving no room for questions.Now, I stood outside his door, nerves coiling tightly in my stomach. I paced, trying to think of what I might have done wrong, but my mind came up empty. Just as I raised my hand to knock, the door swung open.He stood there, tall and imposing, his piercing gaze locking onto mine.“Are you planning to stand there all day?” he asked.I shook my head, my voice caught in my throat as I followed him inside.The tension in the room was noticeable. He gestured for me to sit, and I obeyed, my h

JAIME ADRIELAnd so, the drama continued.We had all believed that once she confessed to lying that none of her accusations against me were true, that the entire thing was her desperate attempt to gain attention, it would mark the end of the problem. Instead, her words had set something much worse.“I thought this mess would have blown over by now. What is this?” Jay dropped his tablet to my desk, the screen lighting up with a bold, criticizing headline that made my stomach churn.“JAIME ADRIEL: FROM PLAYBOY TO CLOSETED GAY?”I let out a laugh, though it barely concealed the irritation bubbling beneath the surface. “Unbelievable. Last month, they were calling me a playboy, and couldn't get enough of how many women they thought I was with. Now, suddenly, I’m gay?”Jay leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his expression a mix of concern and exasperation. “Well, you did laugh, so congratulations. Glad you’re finding the humor in this.” He paused. “But Jaime, this isn’t just gossip any

The chaos in the house was exactly what I'd expected, but the calmness in Jaime's eyes was not. For someone accused of something so delicate and career-threatening, he seemed too composed. His hands were buried deep in his pockets as he descended the stairs, his gaze locked on mine, unwavering until he reached the bottom. "Clarissa Miller," he said softly, his voice carrying a weight that sent an unwelcome warmth through me. I hated that I'd missed hearing him say my name over the past two days. I wouldn't admit it aloud, though. Instead, I swept my eyes across the room, feigning disbelief at the disarray. "Is this how you handle chaos?” I tripped on my tongue and blurted, biting inside my tongue for saying that. He didn't respond. Instead, he turned and walked away, his silence beckoning me to follow. A relief washed over me because why did I say that?We moved through a narrow corridor, the noise fading behind us, until we stepped outside. The crisp air hit my face, and for the f

Chapter 1
One thing wrong with not knowing the main person whom you are meant to hold on to in this case is that everyone who is a suspect looks the same.I am sitting in one of the round table chairs with Jessy beside me and I cannot take my eyes off the four AJ brothers as they all speak to different people, moving from one table to another.Hands-on the jaw, face forward and unmoving, I follow every direction their eyes go to and every body movement any of them makes.“Seriously Clarissa, everyone will start thinking you are an assassin sent to eliminate the AJ brothers,” Jessy, who had had enough of my watching and glaring eyes towards them said and then proceeded to drag my hands off my jaw,I sighed. “I'm just doing what I came here for, Jess. I'm not here to eat these fancy foods and smell the incredible scent of the perfumes.” I look at the table, with all the expensive wines and champagnes at the opening of the new store, and know this place isn't exactly my ideal.So many people sta...
