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
Chapter 63 Claire POV Being with Khan for the last few days has given me another perspective on him. I thought he was a jerk, but he was actually a sweet soul and someone fun to be with. As much as I wanted to stay away from him, lying to myself that he was not my style, I couldn't resist the invisible bond that kept drawing me close to him. I couldn't deny this feeling I was developing for him. This feeling was already getting intense, and I didn't want anything else more than to stay longer with him here. 'We are sorry, honey. We'll be back in a few weeks. There's something I need to take care of over here' I was strangely excited when I got that message from Mom last two days. I just wanted to stay longer with him and admire him from afar even though I couldn't have him. 'He is dangerous, Claire. Stay away from him' As Connor's words replayed in my head, I asked myself what the fuck did his best friend did to him. Connor is one hella crazy jerk and I know once he sets his mind
Chapter 64 Khan POV "What the heck are you doing?" Even though he wanted this so badly, he had to push her away for the sake of his friendship with her brother. He had been friends with Connor for so many years to separate from him now because of this. That was the last thing he wanted. Not ever. "Khan..." Disappointed, Claire tried to go close to him, but he stepped away from her and shook his head slowly, but deep inside him, he badly wanted to do this. This girl in front of him had stolen his heart and messed with his mental health. Thinking about her every damn time makes him think he was going to lose his mind. "Why? Why are you pushing me away? Am I not beautiful enough?" Claire knew she was being crazy, but still couldn't help herself as she was already helpless. She was madly in love with this man and it wasn't something she could deny when it was already messing her up. "Are you crazy?" He scoffed and turned his face away, doing everything he could not to get swayed but i
