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

    Chapter 65 Khan POV I watched Claire sleep peacefully beside me on the bed when I woke up, and I couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips. She looked so cute when sleeping and I couldn't help but admire her. Recalling everything that happened last night, I knew that I didn't have any regret sleeping with her and taking her virginity because I was madly in love with this girl. "What about Connor? He is not going to be happy when he finds out about this," My subconscious mind reminded me, and I sighed briefly. Well, I was aware of that, and I knew that this was going to be tough for me in the long run, but I was ready to do anything to keep her. My phone beeped and I rolled my eyes hesitantly. Who the heck was texting me this early? I lazily reached for my phone that was lying on the nightstand then sat up on the bed and unlocked it. A text from Connor popped on the screen. 'Hey, dude. I'm coming back real soon. How is my sister? I told you not to mess with her. We'll stop bein

    Chapter 66 Connor Hughes I blushed hard when I saw Janice sleeping next to me on the bed, naked. Recalling last night, my heart pounded hard against my chest. Yeah, I've had sex with several women before, but I finally realized what lovemaking is. It's very much different from sex. I watched as her eyelids moved slowly until her eyes were opened, and a smile laced up her lips when she saw me staring at her. "Good morning, Sunshine. Did you sleep well?" I leaned forward and kissed her forehead, and she slowly nodded her head. "Hmm. Good morning Papi," She groaned and scratched her head, scattering her already disheveled hair. "I'm tired," She mumbled, and I scoffed. "I'm sore down there," She muttered again when she tried to move her legs. "Hmm... As it should be," I winked at her, and she scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Do you want to bathe together?" I asked her as I tucked the strands of her hair lying on her forehead, behind her ear. "Hmm," She slowly nodded her head, and I s

    Chapter 67 Janice POV I felt sore all over my body, especially between my legs. It still felt like his dick was still inside me. Well, it was a memorable one for the first time, and although I felt pain, I couldn't deny the fact that I enjoyed every bit of it and wanted more of him. "Are you sure I should not come with you?" I asked as I watched him get dressed in front of the mirror after he came out of the bathroom minutes ago. "Yes. I don't think you should. Rest at home. It's not going to take much time," He assured me, and I nodded. It's not that I would be able to go with him even if he asked me to, anyway. Not with these painful legs that I wasn't sure I would be able to walk straight. "Hmm," I nodded. "We should go on a date when I come back. What do you think?" He asked as he turned to face me with a smile on his face, and I nodded. "Yeah, that's fine," I replied to him, and he smiled again. "You're good? You don't look like you are," He asked and I couldn't deny the

    Chapter 68 Claire POV My heart wrenched painfully as I hugged my knees to myself, tears streaming down my cheeks. I didn't know whether I should be regretting giving my virginity to someone who didn't give a damn about me. It hurts, no matter how much I didn't want to think about it. My phone started to ring, and I reached for it. Dad's name was displayed on the screen, so I quickly answered the phone. "Hey, darling," His deep voice sounded from the other end, and I cleared my throat silently. "Yes, Daddy. Good day," I tried as much as not to sound sad or teary so he wouldn't suspect anything, and I was more than glad that he didn't. "Yes, darling. How have you been?" He asked me, and I nodded as if he was here with me. "Hmm. I'm fine," I wasn't really fine, but I couldn't have told him that, right? "I and your Mom will be back tonight," He released the news, and my jaw dropped disappointedly. Strangely, even though I hated being here, I didn't want to leave because of that je

    Chapter 69 Janice POV "I've missed you so much, Sunshine," Connor whined as he kissed all over my body while wrapping his arms around my waist, our bodies pressing hard against each other. "I've missed you too. How was the shooting?" I asked him after he pulled away from me, and he shrugged. "It was boring. I couldn't stop thinking about you while I was there. I just wanted to come back home and be in your arms again," He pouted his lips, and I chuckled softly. "I missed you way more," Honestly, I missed him so much today and wanted nothing but to have him back here. "Come here, Sunshine," He pulled me close again and kissed my forehead. "It's good to see your gorgeous face again," He said huskily, and my heart fluttered. "Thank you," I managed to reply to him. "Have you eaten yet?" He asked as he tucked the strands of hair on my face away. "Not yet," I replied to him, and he nodded. "Do you mind if we shower together, hmm?" He hushed as he leaned forward and buried his fac

    Chapter 103Janice POVI walked in on Carl smoking in his room, and I scoffed unbelievably. How could he still smoke in this situation?"Carl...""I want to be left alone," He cut me off without even allowing me to say anything, and I scoffed and rolled my eyes. At first, I was sympathetic toward him, but after hearing about everything that transpired between them in the past, I couldn't help the disgust I felt toward him at this moment. I understand how miserable Connor must've felt, the trauma he must've been through when he found them like that, and to think that he never felt remorseful about his actions. I didn't know what could be more cruel and disgusting."Why did you do that? Why your brother's wife of all women out there?" I asked him, trying to be calm. I was so disgusted with him that I couldn't even stand the sight of him. "I told you I want to be alone, Janice," He looked at me as he puffed smoke from his nose and mouth, his eyes were red and filled with anger. I was sup

    Chapter 102Connor's jaw dropped to the ground as he stared back at Carl. For a moment, this felt like a dream to him. This couldn't be true, right? This person wasn't his brother who passed away months ago, right?"Why do you look so shocked to see me? You probably thought I was dead, didn't you? Are you disappointed?" Carl asked as he walked over to stand in front of Connor, but he was still too shocked to say anything.Connor opened his mouth to talk, but words failed him as the only thing he could do was stare at Carl from his head to his toes. When their eyes met, he took his time to check out his eyes which was said to have been destroyed the other time. It almost seemed like nothing happened to the eye. Was this really Carl or was someone impersonating him?"It's good to see you again. Are you as happy as I am?" The corner of Carl's lips twitched up into a smirk as he stared back at Connor. Although he wasn't prepared for them to meet now, he needed some more time to prepare hi

    Chapter 101Connor POV'Carl is alive' Those words kept replaying in my head as I drove restlessly down the road. I had to confirm this myself because no way I was going to believe it without doing confirmation."Can you calm down, please? You are going to get the two of us killed," Chase uttered as he held on tightly to the seatbelt, but the only thing on my mind was to get to that house and confirm this.Thirty minutes later, I finally pulled over in front of the gate and stepped out of the car. I banged the bar gate impatiently while waiting for whoever was around to come and get the door, and after a few minutes, I saw a guy of about the same age as Claire, stepped out of the house."Who are you?" He asked as he strode down toward the gate where we were waiting."How may I help you?" He asked as he finally got to the gate."Where is Janice?" I asked him restlessly, and he gave me a long confusing stare."Why do you want to see my sister?" He asked me, and my jaw dropped to the gro

    Chapter 100"What did you say you wanted to talk to me about Janice?" Connor asked desperately as soon as Chase pulled the car over in front of the restaurant."Why are you being so desperate, Connor? I'm not going to tell you, not until we have lunch together," Chase replied to him as he removed his seatbelt and stepped out of the car."If you tricked me into coming here, then I'm going to be so mad at you, Chase," He reminded Chase as they both walked toward the entrance door of the restaurant."I'm not trying to play you, trust me," Chase assured him, but deep inside him, he knew there was nothing to talk about. He only wanted to get him out of the office so he could eat good food even if it was just for the day. He hadn't been eating well, and he was just being like this as a concerned brother.Chase ordered food for both of them, but Connor could barely eat his food as he was being eaten up by his curiosity, dying to know what his brother brought him out here to discuss."Trust m

    Chapter 99"I'm sorry, Sir... It was a mistake," The video editor, a young slim lady quickly apologized to Connor as a different image from the presentation they were having that day at the office, popped up.It was on a Monday morning, and Connor's company was doing a presentation for the new product he was about to release, but the video editor who was in charge of the presentation seemed to have messed things up."What is the meaning of this?" Connor lost it, so he slammed his hands on the table and rose to his feet."What is the meaning of this nonsense?" He yelled at the lady, not minding his business partners around. This was something he could've handled carefully and calmly, but fuck it! He had a lot on his mind already and had no patience left in him to do this carefully."I'm sorry, Sir... I didn't mean to...""Were you blind or something? You were fucking paid for this, so what happened?" He thundered at the lady again, and she panicked."Sir, you need to calm down, please.

    Chapter 98Janice POVMrs. Hughes didn't deserve any of the pain she was being through, and seeing her earlier broke my heart. She was a nice woman who never deserved the treatment she was given. I could understand how eager she must've been upon realizing that her son whom she had been mourning for months was alive, and the heartbreak she must've suffered when he pretended not to know her.The sound of the knock on the door pulled my attention."Who is there?" I asked."It's me. Can I come in?" My heart missed a beat and I rose to my feet when I heard Carl's voice from outside. I swallowed nothing, my heart hammered hard against my chest and I fondled with my fingers. I couldn't stop him from coming inside the room and I couldn't also send him away."Can I come in?" He asked again, and this time, I was left with the only choice of letting him in. The door opened, and he walked inside. As usual, he was wearing a pair of black short trousers and a black casual shirt."I've been home ov

    Chapter 97"What are you saying, Chase?" Mrs. Hughes' eyes narrowed in shock after Chase told her about what happened back at Carl's house."Mom... I...I...I saw Carl... I saw Carl... I really saw him," Chase stuttered, his heart pounding hard against his chest, his lips quivered fearfully. "Stop joking around with me, son... How is that possible? Your brother is dead... Carl is fucking dead!" Mrs. Hughes felt like she was losing her mind, this was hard to believe because the last time she checked, her son was dead. He had died months ago and it couldn't be possible that he was the one Chase saw, but Chase was sure of what he saw. He was sure that person was his brother whom they thought was dead."Mom, why are you not believing me?" Chase ran his fingers through his hair crazily like he was about to lose his mind. Apparently, he had already lost his mind and thought he was going crazy that moment that he saw Carl."How am I supposed to believe you, Chase? How am I supposed to believ

    Chapter 96Janice POV"Sweetheart, let's go inside," Carl faced me and smiled at me, but that smile meant something else and if I could do anything, I would start running right away from here.Chase was too shocked to talk, so he just stared wordlessly. I had expected that reaction, anyway. I mean, this dude was believed to have been dead, and popping out of nowhere now was really shocking."Come on," My heart missed a beat when he placed his hand gently around my shoulder like the gentleman he never was, and I was left with only one choice, and it was to follow him.I wished I could disappear at that moment as he led me back into the house. My heart pounded hard against my chest, my breath hitched momentarily and I felt suffocated as the thought of the hell that awaited me behind those closed doors hit me hard.Nobody was in the living room when we got there, so he led me to the room, and as soon as we got inside his room, he slammed the door close and locked it."Ca...

    Chapter 95Janice POVCarl called me about an hour ago to inform me that he was on his way, and I didn't wish for anything more than for him to not make it here. Of course, I knew this was extreme, but what was I supposed to wish for when he had made my life into a living hell?After breakfast with my parents and Jeff, I returned to my room since I couldn't go anywhere else aside from being here.Sitting on my bed and just staring into space while wallowing in my own thoughts, a knock sounded on my door, and when I ushered whoever was at the door inside as I was too lazy to go open it myself, the door opened and Jeff walked inside."Jeff?" I called surprisingly."Someone is here to see you, sis," My heart skipped when he said that, and immediately, many thoughts came parading my mind. Who could that be? Could it be that it was Connor that came back again? I asked myself and swallowed nothing."Who is it?" I asked curiously as I stood from the bed."He is outside the gate. I was on my
