'What do you mean by you are moving into the Rollins house?' Annabelle retorted.'Jake!' She called out to him when he ignored her and continued packing his clothes.'Annabelle, I've answered that question a million times.' Jake replied with fatigue.'And I still don't get it!''Because you don't want to. Listen, I'm done with this conversation. Are you going to help me pack?''No!' Annabelle replied defiantly.'Then don't bother me.'Annabelle watched as Jake focused on getting his things together. Tears stung her eyes. She had fallen deeply in love with him. She wasn't supposed to, but she did. Their relationship had been convenient. They had an understanding that she breached when she fell in love with him.Jake was changing and Annabelle felt it. She knew he was drifting away from her. Although she knew Jake had never been in love with her, he was loyal. That much she could beat her chest to say. He was sweet, kind, and thoughtful. Was always concerned for her even though their
'The air here just got contaminated. Let's go before we catch something.' Mirabel scoffs as soon as Sheena walked into the kitchen.Mirabel, her husband Shawn, and Michelle had been discussing in hushed tones which abruptly stopped when Sheena stepped in.Mirabel roughly brushed past Sheena, almost knocking her down. And just as Sheena regained her balance, Michelle brushed past her again, following Mirabel.Sheena sighed tiredly. She walked to the kitchen counter, shoulders slumped. The ill-treatment Mirabel and Michelle dished out to her at every moment they could, was getting to her.She didn't mean any bad. She didn't choose be to in this situation and she wished they would just understand.'Don't worry yourself about them. They are not used to their father being married.' Shawn's voice startled Sheena.Sheena jolted in shock. She was so lost in thought she hadn't noticed that Shawn had not left with his wife.With a deep sigh, Sheena spoke to Shawn. 'I wish they didn't hate me so
Sheena was surprised to see Jake in the house this early. She scanned the length of him and he was stunning in the casual outfit he was wearing. She found herself swooning over him.She shouldn't be admiring him. She couldn't deny that he was trouble and she couldn't deny either that he was trouble she welcomed. She berated herself for encouraging him but she was defenseless against him.It unnerved her the way his eyes were drinking her in, the lust evident in his eyes and it was affecting her. She couldn't help the question that jumped out of her mouth.'What are you doing here?'The corner of his mouth lifted in a smirk as he realized the effect he was having on her and he moved closer.'I live here now.' He spoke in a near whisper.'You moved in! I thought we discussed this!' Disbelief laced Sheena's voice. She had begged him not to accept his father's offer. It would complicate things.'You were avoiding me.' He defended. He curled his brow up daring her to challenge his statem
Sheena stood on the balcony at the back of the house overlooking the garden. She was deep in thought. Last night had been a close call.She had told Mr Dominic she hit her foot against the riser while going up the stairs and she was simply lamenting to herself.Mr Dominic gave her a look that implied she was stupid. It was demeaning, but she was grateful he had believed her. He went back to sleep not showing any concern if she was wounded.In truth, she didn't even want his care. It might lead to more trouble if there was no wound.She planned to see Jake here. This part of the house was a perfect rendezvous. In her desperation for a quiet space for herself, she had discovered this spot in the Rollins house. It was quiet and the view was exquisite, overlooking the garden filled with a variety of beautiful flowers.She felt male hands envelop her from behind. She smiled to herself. He was here.'Miss me, baby?' The male voice breathed against her neck as he sniffed her, feeding off her
Jake was seated in the board room across from Shawn who kept glaring at him. Shawn's nose wore the familiar small white band used for a broken nose.Jake acted indifferently, ignoring Shawn completely. This left Shawn fuming.Jake checked his watch. He needed to be back at his office. Mr Dominic had sent for Jake, asking to meet him at his office building.Jake had reluctantly come, but now he was tired of waiting. It made it worse that he was in the same room as Shawn. Jake wanted to give the man more than a broken nose.'My son!' Mr Dominic beamed as he walked into the room. Closely behind him, was a young man dressed in a dainty suit.Jake stood up and took the old man's extended hand.'Good day, sir.' Jake greeted.Mr Dominic would have wanted more than a handshake but would make do with this. He was very glad the boy was even talking to him and had honored his invitation. It has been very different in the past.Jake took a seat after Mr Dominic had settled into a seat and gesture
'Hello.' Jake spoke into his phone as he climbed the stairs.'Hello Jake, it's Damian, Mr Dominic's lawyer. We met the other day at his office.' The caller spoke.'Yes. What can I do for you?' Jake responded.'We didn't get to finish with the transfer of the shares the other day. I'll need you to sign some documents to finalize everything. I'm calling to know when you'd be free so we can meet.' The lawyer spoke briskly.'I haven't made up my mind about it.' Jake responded.'I thought all the parties involved were well aware of the final agreement...' 'This party will get back to you on it.' Jake said with irritation in his voice.The lawyer was smart to take the cue.'This is my number. Call me when you've reached a final decision.' Damian said curtly and the line went dead.Jake had reached the landing and stood on the balcony, his view focused on the large expanse of land before him covered with flowers. But his mind was elsewhere.He was thinking hard. Mr Dominic was cornering him
Warning ⚠️ 18Sheena stood stupefied watching the receding behind of Jake, wondering how he could do this to her. Tantalizing her and leaving her wanting.She wanted to get mad but she couldn't as the only feelings coursing through her was the intense sweet pleasure and the state of want he had left her in. She wanted more of him. She decided not to waste any more time and took steps to proceed to his room. She stopped in her tracks as she remembered something.It was a full house. Her husband was home. If she got caught, she couldn't fathom the extent of the disaster that would happen.

She only wanted satisfaction and he knew just how to please her.Sheena made up her mind. She would go to him. She knew she was playing with fire, a fiery furnace that was going to sear her soul.Like a thief, she sneaked into Jake's room, taking extra measures to ensure
Jake woke up to an empty bed. The space beside him was cold. Sheena must have left in the middle of night. She had to and he understood.He smiled, reeling in the pleasures of the previous night. He would have loved to wake up to the sight of her sleeping face. He would have loved to wake her up trailing soft kisses down her neck. He would have loved to feed off her undiluted morning juice and have morning sex with her.He wished she had stayed so he could snuggle her closer, but he knew better. They were playing a dirty game. One that couldn't afford all that.He got up and got ready for work. On his way out, he bumped into Sheena in the living room.They shared a look full of secrets only they could understand.Jake smiled at her as he was happy to see her. He would have loved to kiss her each day before leaving the house. He scanned the room to see that they were alone and he approached her.'Not here.' She whispered, unable to wipe the shy smile off her face.'Then where? Because
