38. A Very Interesting Dinner
Last Updated:
2023-09-02 23:55:32Jacob’s POV
The restaurant was a study in subdued elegance, its dim lighting casting an intimate glow over the tastefully arranged tables. The air was filled with the soft murmur of conversation and the soothing strains of a jazz melody playing in the background. This was the stage upon which tonight’s performance would be played.
Rima arrived on Tony’s arm, radiant in a dress of midnight blue that clung to her in all the right places. It was the perfect blend of elegance and allure, just like her. Tony’s hand at the small of her back was a possessive touch that ignited a spark of jealousy within me. He pulled out a chair for her, a gentlemanly gesture that seemed designed to provoke me.
Rising from my chair, I extended my hand, my voice steady despite the tension "Jacob Snow"
He responded with a smile that seemed almost chiseled onto his face, his grip firm in our handshake "Tony Azar. Thank you for this lovely invitation"

Rima’s POV:I hurried back to my flat, my vision blurred by the deluge of tears streaming down my face. It felt as if my heart were ablaze, consumed by a tumultuous mix of emotions. Inserting the key into the lock proved to be a challenge, my trembling hands and tear-streaked eyes obstructing my view.Inside me, conflicting halves battled for dominance. One part of me was shattered, my heartbroken spirit echoing with pain. The other part simmered with anger, directed towards him for betraying his promise. He had vowed to be there for me, to understand without judgment. Yet, in his indirect accusation of hypocrisy, he had failed to comprehend that my connection with Tony went beyond his affiliation with the mafia. It was the way Tony had rescued me, granted me a second chance at life, and continued to protect me at great personal risk. I couldn’t articulate all of this in explicit detail, but I had hoped he would extend me the benefit of the doubt, to believ

Rima’s POVThankfully, there were no more disputes between us and I was determined to keep things that way.At the end of the work day he called my office phone, most likely to tell me to be ready to head back home, but I had another reply for him this time and wouldn't let him hang up on me right away."Yes Mr. Snow" I said brusquely.He replied abruptly "We're leaving in two minutes"I quickly responded so that he didn't have time to move the phone away from his ear yet "I'm not going with you today. I have an errand to run"There was a brief silence and I thought he'd hung up on me, but then he said in an annoyed tone "Delay them; we have work to continue in my home office"I raced to reply before he could end the call and felt like I was engaged in a ping pong match where I was fighting hard not to let the ball escape from me -or in this case- allow him to close the call before I finished talking "I can't - unless you want m

Rima’s POVThe ride there was silent and short because the event was close to the tower. It barely took seven minutes to arrive.We stepped out of the car and walked into an exquisite building with an extravagant exterior design. The building was entirely painted in a soft white color which made it look like a fairytale castle and the intricate details on the walls were captivating. The door was framed with gold and when we entered, I felt a wave of fresh air pass by me.The hall was crowded with so many people mingling together, eating, talking, laughing and some were even dancing in the middle as a soft romantic song played in the background. It seemed surreal walking into such an exquisite place.The interior design of the hall set my heart alight with wonderment as I looked around me at all of its beauty and grandeur. Ornate chandeliers hung from the ceiling giving off sparkling light that created a sense of warmth within the room. The walls wer

Rima’s POVAll breath seemed to abandon me, as though I'd been plunged into the icy depths of an ocean. It felt as though I was gasping for air, my thoughts scattering like leaves in a whirlwind. I found myself rooted to the spot, staring at him in a state of dazed shock. The world around me seemed to fade into oblivion, leaving only this man - this dangerous man who held my darkest, deepest secret in the palm of his hand, wielding it like a sword with a mere utterance of a name."Breathe" Demir's whisper cut through my panic, his voice soft yet commanding.His single word triggered my reflexes and I gulped in a breath, my vision blurring with the sudden onset of panicked tears "How in the world do you know that name?" I managed to choke out."I'll tell you everything, Rima. But first, you need to breathe. Don't panic. You've nothing to fear. Breathe for me" he instructed, his tone firm yet soothing.His words seemed to echo in my ears, and I
Last Updated : 2023-09-06Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 43. Whether You Like It Or Not!
Jacob’s POV My heart was still racing with anger as I looked at Rima's still form on the ground. Seeing her almost faint had only added to my frustration, and the way Demir was playing with her emotions only made things worse. I wanted to rip him apart, to teach him a lesson he wouldn't forget. But I couldn't let my rage get the best of me. At least not in front of her anymore. I know I had already scared the crap out of her with my deadly voice and my sudden violence. I was on the verge of losing control of myself over him. But then again, it wasn't really all about Demir, was it? It was about Rima. The thought of him touching her, kissing her, being near her in any way made my blood boil with a fierce possessiveness that I couldn't control. And that possessiveness scared me. It was like a dark, primal part of myself had taken over, and I wasn't sure if I could rein it back in. Still kneeling next to Rima, my hand gently touching her cheek, I asked s
Last Updated : 2023-09-07Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 44. Late Night Banter
Rima's POVThe resounding crash of shattering glass and scattering metal echoed behind me, causing me to flinch in startled surprise. I froze mid-stride, the sound reverberating through the hallway, a stark reminder of the fury I had left behind in the office just a moment ago.His anger was understandable, and I didn't begrudge him that. I was well aware that my words, my attitude were infuriating. Yet, truly, I had no other course but to utter those harsh truths. The reality of what transpired between Demir and me, it was a secret I could not share.My options were limited. I could fabricate a tale, spin a lie to feed his curiosity, or I could close him out entirely. I opted for the latter, the bitter taste of falsehoods too much to bear, especially when it came to him.The door on the furthest side from the office swung open, revealing Tessa and Travis. Their faces held a mix of confusion and concern, undoubtedly drawn by the deafening crash that had e
Last Updated : 2023-09-08Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 45. Annoying POS
Rima's POVIf I thought Jacob was intolerable yesterday, he was even more intolerable today.The moment I stepped into the office with him, I could feel the tension wrapped around like a shroud. His attitude was colder, harsher, and more demanding than ever before. From the moment I arrived, he seemed hell-bent on making my workday a living nightmare.First, there was the monthly report. I spent the entire morning meticulously compiling data, only for him to dismiss it with a wave of his hand, claiming it was 'lacking in depth'. The fact that he couldn't offer any concrete advice on how to improve it only fueled my frustration further.Then came the impromptu meeting, one that he decided to call fifteen minutes before it was due to start. Scrambling together a presentation in such a short span of time was nothing short of a herculean task. His indifferent shrug when I pointed out the impossibility of his demand was a clear testament to his newfound insens

Rima’s POVWhen he came back to the office I kept my mouth shut about the phone call and did my best to clear his schedule without causing anything to be disrupted or push us into an impossible deadline to meet, planning to take on his extra work for him while he visits his family. I wasn’t sure if he will agree to even go with his brother or not but something told me that little shit can make anyone do anything even his currently sourpuss brother has no chance against him.I was hoping he would leave and give me a few days of peace and quiet to absorb enough power and continue enduring his extreme hard as fuck attitude because it doesn’t seem like it will change anytime soon especially after the last two days filled with drama between us. I was looking forward to it.Something gnawed at me till the end of the day. Even though he does not deserve my consideration but I convinced myself to do it for the old Jacob, definitely not this version bec

Love Me Not, Mr. Snow Epilogue
Jacob’s POVNine Months Later"Isn't he just exquisite?" Mom breathed out, utterly captivated. Her eyes shimmered with grandmotherly tenderness as she leaned over the crib, absorbed in the cherubic face of our little one. The baby returned her gaze with a quiet, wide-eyed wonder, a tiny observer in his newfound world.Nine extraordinary, life-changing months had rolled by since Rima, my beacon of strength and beauty, and I found our way back to each other. Each sunrise, each sunset, each shared glance and whispered "I love you" had knitted our lives closer together.Only three weeks after that heartfelt proposal amid the soft, cascading snowflakes in my hometown Snow, we vowed to be each other's forever in front of those who mattered most. Our honeymoon was a blur of laughter, shared secrets, and the unspoken promise of a lifetime of togetherness.One of my pledges to Rima, that radiant woman who radiates courage and kindness in equal measure
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 103. Forever Much
Rima’s POVTears began to pool in my eyes, born from the profound sincerity of his confession. My body was still humming, a residual echo of what had transpired just moments ago.The notion of him spanking me had never crossed my mind before, it was a boundary I had vowed never to cross again. Yet, when it happened... it felt right. It sparked an unexpected surge of desire within me. And it was all because of him, because of Jacob. With him, I felt a safety I hadn't felt before, a certainty that a simple, firm "stop" from me would have been enough to halt him, despite his anger.And when he took control, thrusting into me from behind, his dominance over my body was mind-blowing, earth-shattering."You're ogling" Jacob teased, his voice filled with amusement. I had spent the last few minutes drinking in his handsome features, marveling at how much I had missed them."I can't help it. I was on the brink of madness, thinking I might never see yo
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 102. Gentle? Or Rough?
Jacob’s POV"Jacob..." Her voice was breathy, filled with a potent mix of surprise and pleasure. Her response fueled my desire, driving me to repeat the action, each spank a punctuation to the silent conversation our bodies were having. She met each one with a gasp, a moan, a plea for more.My hand moved in a rhythm of its own, rising and falling, each impact a resonant note in the symphony of our reunion. The room was awash with the symphony of our breaths, punctuated by the sharp smacks of my hand against her flesh and her soft cries of surrender."Say you want this, Rima" I commanded, my voice a husky rumble that punctuated the quiet around us. It was not a mere question, but a demand, a plea for her to vocalize the raw, unadulterated desire we were both drowning in."Yes...God, yes, Jacob" she gasped out, her words syncing with the rhythm of my hand against her skin. Her admission was a sweet capitulation, a confession of the primal dance we wer
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 101. Damn You!
Jacob’s POVThe moment I found her in the closet, my heart had dropped like a stone in my chest. She was here. She was real. The woman who had haunted every waking moment and every restless dream, was here, in the flesh.Her presence was like a punch to the gut, stirring up a whirlwind of emotions I'd buried deep within me. Anger, hurt, betrayal - they all surged to the surface, a potent cocktail that threatened to consume me. Yet, beneath it all, there was a glimmer of something else. Relief? Hope? I couldn't tell.The moment I saw her pull the trigger, my world came to a screeching halt. The gun, instead of being aimed at the door, was pressed against her own chest. My heart pounded in my ears, a deafening drum that drowned out everything else. I watched in frozen horror as her fingers tightened around the trigger, a look of grim determination on her face.But the expected bang never came. The gun didn't discharge. The safety was on.Her ha
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 100. I Hate You Back!
Rima’s POVHis words struck me like a sledgehammer, shattering my composure as easily as glass under strain. Never in my life had I anticipated hearing them, never had I fathomed the depth of meaning he'd imbue in them. The impact was monumental, a seismic shift that brought me to my knees, or would have, had his unyielding grip on my chin not kept me upright."No, please!" I found myself pleading, a raw cry torn from somewhere deep within. Pain surged through me, transcending all previous thresholds as those three damnable words echoed in my mind, a relentless mantra of rejection.Through my sobs, I reached out, my hands wrapping around his arm in a plea for mercy, for understanding. I was a puppet to my emotions, my words and actions spilling forth in an uncontrollable torrent "Jacob, don't do this to me! Don't kill me in this way! You could take that gun and shoot me right now, and it wouldn't be as painful as hearing those words from you!"His r
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 99. Higher Power Intervention
Rima’s POVTransfixed, my eyes met a familiar pair of warm brown depths that had haunted my dreams and tormented my waking hours. Eyes filled with a raw, horrifying realization of my intention, a sight I never anticipated to witness.Was it a cruel twist of fate? Or perhaps the intervention of some higher power that had caused me to overlook the safety on the gun, preventing me from taking my own life in his presence?His eyes were wide, mirroring my own shock, filled with an emotion that looked suspiciously like relief. His gaze was heavy with an unreadable mix of emotions as he took in the sight of me, trembling, gun still pressed against my chest.Tentatively, Jacob reached out, his hand shivering as much as mine, and gently eased the gun from my grasp. His touch was gentle, warm, a stark contrast to the cold steel that had been resting against my skin moments before.He placed the gun on the nightstand with a care that suggested he was ha
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 98. Went Off on Her Own
Jacob’s POV"Let her go, Jacob. It's for your own good" Demir's voice rang out, hard and unyielding as I reached for the car handle, my other hand still holding Rosalie at gunpoint."Give me what I want and she'll be free" I retorted, my voice final."I promised Rima I'd keep you away from her. What will she think if I broke my word for you?" Demir shot back, trying to negotiate.My jaw clenched at his words. It was just like Rima to sacrifice her own happiness to protect the ones she loved, to prevent herself from experiencing another loss, even if that meant losing in another way - through separation."Do I care? Probably not!" I snapped, swinging the car door open for Rosalie.Just as she was about to step into the car, Demir's voice rang out again "Fine! I'll tell you!"That was surprisingly easy.Whoever Rosalie was to Demir, it was clear that she was far more than just a 'sub' to him."But not before you release her. Right this instant" Demir demanded, his tone serious.I looked
Love Me Not, Mr. Snow 97. What the Hell, Snow?!
Jacob’s POV"Where is she?" The words slipped through my clenched teeth, each one heavy with an urgency that refused to be ignored."Do you really think my answer will change from when your brothers came asking the same question?" Demir replied, a hint of mockery tinging his words.I slammed my fist on the desk, my patience dwindling "Stop toying with me, Demir! You're the one she'd turn to after Tony's death. I know she came to you" I shot back.His response was a smirk, cold and infuriating "So, by your own admission, she doesn't trust you at all. Maybe you should take your own hint, Jacob, and let her go. She certainly has let you go"I could feel a hot rush of anger sweeping over me, an insurmountable wave that drowned reason and restraint. My fist connected with his jaw, the impact sending a jolt of pain through my chest as my wound protested the sudden movement. But I didn't allow the flare of pain to show on my face."Consider this your final warning, Demir" I warned, my voice
