Chapter 55 Janice POV I had so much fun today. I wasn't expecting less when I knew it was Ace I was hanging out with, anyway. He has always been fun back then. After we left the concert today, Ace lodged me at the nearest hotel since he had something to take care of and couldn't drop me off at home. I would've gone by myself, but he insisted that it was dangerous so I should spend the night at the hotel and leave first thing tomorrow. 'You can mess with every other woman and go scot-free, but not Janice. Stay the hell away from her!' I've been trying to get those words off my head, I wanted to at least pretend that it wasn't bothering me, but the more I tried to, the more I found myself thinking about it. It was fucking literally living rent-free in my head. "Ugh! Don't think about it. He was just messing around," I rolled my eyes and dried my hair with the towel. As much as I wanted to deny this feeling, I couldn't help but notice the way his eyes were filled with rage as he pun

Chapter 56 Janice POV "I risked my life out there to help him and all he could do was say those shit to me?" I mumbled as soon as I opened my eyes after a long sleep through the night. I tried not to think about it yesterday, so I was able to get enough sleep. "He must be crazy," I mumbled as I forced the duvet off my body and dragged myself from the bed, walking into the bathroom afterward. 'You can fuck with whoever you want. It's your body after all' I huffed when those disgusting words replayed in my head. "Who said that I was going to sleep with Ace? He didn't even lodge at the hotel with me. Why would he say that to me?" I mumbled, leaning over the mirror and staring at my reflection daringly. I suddenly wished Connor was standing in front of me so I could slap him for talking down on me. "Just forget it. He was just messing with you," I mumbled dismissively. After my usual morning routine, I left my room and headed downstairs to have breakfast, knowing that the maids mus

Chapter 57 Connor Hughes 'Not everyone is like you. Ace is not a fuckboy like you' I scoffed unbelievably as those words replayed in my head and I felt like seeing that bastard and strangling life out of him. How could she compare me to that bastard of all people? If not that I already gave my words to Mr. Clement, I wouldn't have gone for this shooting. Mr. Clement is one of my business partners who just launched a perfume company and asked me to do an advert for him. Well, he paid a huge amount of money to me and since I love business, I had to take it. Well, coupled with it has been a while since I was last into shooting because of my busy schedule. Not that I had anything important to do here, so I thought it would be fun to do it. My phone rang and when I checked and saw that the call was from Janice, I rolled my eyes and tossed the phone on the seat. I wasn't in the mood to talk to her. After what seemed like forever, I finally got to the company and soon pulled over at th

Chapter 58 Janice POV "Why do I even care if he gets arrested or not?" I mumbled unbelievably as I leaned against the wall, resting my head on it. Have been here for the past one hour and it didn't seem like this was going to end anytime soon. Earlier, I was worried he would get into trouble, so I had to track down his location to this studio, but it seemed to be the biggest mistake of my life. I wasn't even allowed to go inside. How could they be so mean? "Excuse me. I'm not a bodyguard, okay? Are you really not going to allow me inside or better still get me somewhere to sit?" I asked the bouncer, hoping he'd change his mind this time, but he only glanced at me and turned his face away as if I wasn't even here. "I told you I'm Mr. Connor's assistant. Can you let me in, please?" I pleaded with him because my legs were starting to hurt. "Where is your ID card?" He demanded, and I sighed briefly. How could I have forgotten my ID card at home? "I didn't bring it with me... But trus

Chapter 59 Connor Hughes "You are not even going to look at me?" Liana's voice pierced through my ears, but I ignored her and stared out through the window. "Am I your driver? How could you sit in the back seat and ask me to drive you? You are so mean," She muttered the last part, obviously seeking my attention, but I wasn't in the mood for that now. All I could think of was Janice. Is she going to really hang out with that bastard? I asked myself. "Was I too mean?" I asked subconsciously, and Liana glanced at me through the rearview mirror. "Of course, you were. How could you allow a lady to drive all alone in the driver's seat?" She whined, and scoffed. She must've thought that I was talking about her. What do I care about how she feels? "Where exactly are we going?" She asked me. "To my apartment. Take the right route at the junction ahead," I replied to her, and she scoffed. "Are you kidding me?" She huffed as she pulled over at the side of the road, turning to face me with

Chapter 60 Janice POV I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, and once I stormed into my room, I slammed the door closed and leaned against it, breathing fast. "Stop it... Stop it, please... Stop it," I muttered as I hit my chest repeatedly, but all attempts to stop my heart from beating fast proved abortive. Slowly, I dragged myself from the door and advanced toward the bed, slumping on it. I swallowed the lump in my throat and bit into my lip nervously. For a moment back there, I wanted him to kiss me and do other things to me, I didn't care back there if he felt something for me or not, but I was glad that I was able to resist him. I was still trying to get over the shit he put me through when the door burst open and he barged inside. I rose to my feet. "Wh... what are you doing..." I couldn't finish my statement when he covered the distance between us and pulled me close to himself. And as our body collided, I felt it again. The burning sensation in between my legs, the cr

Chapter 61 Time: 9:40pm Location: Texas, Connor's mansion, living room Connor Hughes "So? Are you two married for real now?" Khan's voice sounded over the phone, and I nodded my head, smiling subconsciously. It feels so good now that I know she's officially mine and nobody else's. She won't be hanging out with some other random guy anymore, and I couldn't be less happy. "Yes, we are," my heart danced with joy as I replied to him, but his question became clearer, so I had to make things clear to him. "Wait! We've always been married, dude!" I protested, but he scoffed. "We both know that you two weren't supposed to be married, and that shit is not relevant. You should get married to her for real. Remember Carl's name is still in the register at the villa," Khan reminded me, and the realization finally dawned on me. "Oh, shit! How come I never thought of this?" I mumbled as I reclined on the chair. "That's because you've been thinking about nonsense. Anyway, I got to go. I need

Chapter 62 Janice POV "You don't want to carry my child?" I saw the disappointment in his eyes as he asked me that question. Here I was, thinking he didn't want to have a child with me, but I guess I was mistaken. The look in his eyes showed that he desperately wanted to. "I thought you didn't want to have a child..." I whispered and bit my lip, and he smiled. "I didn't plan to, but with you? I will be ever ready to make babies. How about we make them now, hmm?" He leaned forward and kissed my shoulder, and my heart fluttered. "Hmm. Let's make babies then," I whispered, and that was all the permission he needed to sweep me off the chair. "Come on, take it easy," I chuckled softly as he took me to the bed, and he groaned. "That's how desperate I am to have you," His voice was husky and sexy, and my abdomen twitched just at the sound of it. He lowered me gently onto the bed and carefully untied the rope tying my robe together, and the cold air conditioner greeted my chest as my bo
