The 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

Love 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

Rima’s POVTrue to his word, five minutes later we were pulling up in front of a sprawling shopping mall.As I stepped out of the car, I saw Travis also exiting the vehicle. Thinking that he was planning to accompany me, I turned to him."You don’t need to come with me. I’ll manage on my own" I said, but he quickly reassured me."I thought I’d use the time to do a bit of personal shopping as well" he replied."Oh, okay then. Let’s go" I responded, not giving it much thought.We entered the mall and went our separate ways.As I navigated through the busy mall, my eyes scanned various stores, searching for an item that would stand out, a gift that would be perfect.Spotting a jewelry store, I made my decision. This was as good a place as any to start, I thought, and headed towards it.As I stepped inside, the tinkling of a bell announced my arrival. The store was empty except for a tall, elega

Rima’s POVDay three of Jacob's reign of terror had dawned.I found myself becoming increasingly adept at juggling his outlandish demands and labyrinthine tasks. Even the most minor of typing errors didn't escape his eagle eyes. His relentless, stern demeanor was a constant, like a storm cloud perpetually hanging overhead. I, for my part, strived to shield my annoyance, putting on a façade of acceptance — an implicit agreement to the way he chose to treat an assistant.However, I couldn't shake off Lucas's advice, a seed planted in the back of my mind. How much longer could I suppress the urge to show Mr. Snow a different side of me? My patience was wearing thin, much like the waning day, and anticipation for Lucas's surprise visit added to my restlessness.A flurry of questions stormed my mind. How would Jacob react to the surprise? Would he agree to accompany Lucas? What would his response be upon discovering I'd kept my knowledge of

Rima’s POV"No, I'm not!" I retorted, my voice rigid with disbelief and more than a hint of defiance.His eyes gleamed in the dim light, his icy tone matching the frost in his gaze "Excuse me?"I could feel the rush of adrenaline, a surge of indignation that had my words tumbling out in a heated rush "There's nothing to excuse" I snapped, my composure slipping with every word "You're going on a family trip, Mr. Snow. That is none of my business. So, have a wonderful time, but I'm not going anywhere!"He countered, a note of frosty determination in his voice "I won't just sit around doing nothing for three days, we will be working whenever we have free time""Kezzeb bnus A’ynak! Kellu haki fadi!" (Bullshit! You’re lying and using work as a lame excuse for it!) I erupted in a fervor, my voice veering into my native Arabic as my emotions spiraled beyond my control. The words were an angry exclamation against his insistence, a fiery a

Jacob's POV"Hmmm, she bought you a gift to take with you, that's considerate despite you being a total jerk to her. I wonder why she'd do that for you" Lucas remarked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.I shot him a pointed look. He was finding this situation far too entertaining, his eyes gleaming with a curiosity I recognized all too well, despite our year-long separation. Lucas had always been like this - unnervingly perceptible, and insufferably annoying when he had a mental puzzle to solve."Why did

Work had always been a successful distraction for her before, and I saw no reason why it wouldn't work now.Lucas let out a dramatic groan "Oh come on! Can't we take a break for once? How about a game of cards or something?"I shot him a teasing smile "Maybe after we finish some work. Until then, I'd appreciate some peace and qu

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
