POV JEANNE..."What else do you want?" I stared coldly at the man standing in front of me. He smiled with a bouquet of red roses in his hand and then thrust the bouquet at me. "I've been waiting to see you, dear," he said in a soft tone that wasn't him at all, "Since yesterday I haven't seen you and it makes me miss you so much."I let out a long sigh as I closed my eyes. This was the third day Leo had come to my penthouse. In the morning he would stand in front of my penthouse with a bouquet of roses and a letter inside. During the day he would come with a few packets of food. In the night he would also come with a lot of gifts. Leo didn't try to get into my penthouse even though I'm sure he had the access card since I gave it to him."Stop this. What you're doing is all for nothing, Mr. Morgan," I said coldly, "I told you, I really don't-""I know. I still want to see you though," he said, "You don't need to greet me, I'm happy enough with seeing you."I don't know what he was r
POV JEANNE …"I don't understand, what made you so determined to follow me here?" I sighed as I sat down on one of the bar stools. I saw Leo sitting next to me without taking his eyes off me as he smiled. I then looked at the bartender in front of me with a smile. "One Daiquiri." I said. "Cut down the alcohol," Leo suddenly chimed in, "My wife isn't too used to alcohol."I frowned and turned my head to look at Leo with dislike. "I've been letting you follow me, not that I'm allowing you to interfere."I was annoyed beyond belief. Why is this guy always so controlling?! - I thought in frustration."Is it wrong for me to take care of you?" he said with a gentle smile.I snorted at his words. "Take care of me?" I said sarcastically, "The only person who is dangerous to me is you, sir. And I don't need your attention.""..." I then turned to the bartender in front of me. "Get me a Margarita too," I said. I'm not very tolerant of alcohol, but I deliberately ordered it because of Leo'
PITTER-PATTER RUMBLE! Heavy rain accompanied by the sound of thunder was heard that night. I went downstairs from my penthouse to the convenience store in front of the building. However, the moment I stepped out of the building and opened the umbrella I was carrying, my steps instantly stopped. Leo's figure stood in front of me under the pouring rain with a pale-looking face looking at me weakly. "Jeanne, I'm glad to see you again," he said as he smiled weakly at me.I just looked at him coldly and then brushed past him without saying a word. I thought everything was over after I called Jonah to bring Leo back, but he is here now.Is he trying to get my attention in that way? — I thought irritably."How childish," I muttered as I entered the convenience store in front of me. I grabbed a basket and then picked up the few items I needed. I thought about making instant noodles since that was the best option when it was raining like this. After grabbing what I needed and wanted, I q
POV JEANNE …"I'm sorry." Leo's voice made me instantly come to my senses and immediately move myself away from Leo's body. I then opened the bread and thrust it into his mouth. "Eat a little to take your medicine," I said and soon after Leo ate the piece of bread I put in his mouth. I kept doing that, until Leo rejected the piece of bread I put in his mouth. "That's enough — cough! cough! cough!" Leo coughed again. I quickly helped him to sit up and take his medicine."T-Thank you," he said and I didn't reply. I kept quiet and just put the glass and the medicine on the shelf in front of my bed - right next to the door. I then went back and adjusted the blanket to cover Leo's entire body. Our eyes met for a moment. Leo looked at me with his weak, half-awake eyes, while I immediately averted my gaze. "Sleep here tonight," I said flatly, "If your fever doesn't subside tomorrow. You should go to the hospital immediately."After I said that, I still didn't receive any answer from
POV JEANNE…"Jeanne, if you mean the woman's voice when I called you before you left for Manhattan," said Leo, "She was nobody."I smiled wryly. "I know," I said softly, "She's just a woman —""He's Owen's personal secretary," said Leo, "He approached me openly several times, but I didn't like him. I even kicked him out several times...""...you can ask Owen directly," Leo said in a low voice.My gaze immediately turned to look at him in disbelief. "Really?" I asked again."Yeah," Leo replied, "Ask Owen that later if you don't believe me."Instantly I felt ashamed of my prejudice in thinking that Leo was having an affair or even had many mistresses behind my back. At that moment I questioned my feelings.Do I really think of him as just a contract husband? Do I really think this marriage is just a cooperation contract? — these questions appeared in my mind and seemed to haunt me.Leo nodded weakly as he smiled at me. "Are you jealous?"Leo's question immediately silenced me. Jealous?
POV LEO…"J-Jeanne, hahh... t-ther is c-enough! Ugh!"I could no longer control my moans when I felt a small suction on the tip of my manhood. I could see my wife's seductive face sucking mine, even though it was only the tip.Ther makes me want to put it all in her mouth — I thought.I tried to restrain myself from forcing her. I've been quite scared for the past few days because I thought he was going to leave me. If I indulge my lust too much, I'm afraid he'll leave me again — I thought.But what happened next was completely beyond my expectations, I felt my manhood slowly enter half of it."J-Jeanne, w-wait, hnngh!" I tried to pull Jeanne's head off my cock when I felt a push from inside, "L-Let go, I want to... ugh!"I reached my first ejaculation and unconsciously held Jeanne's head in mine. For a moment my head felt blank, but at that moment I remembered Jeanne. I immediately removed my hand from Jeanne's head and immediately she coughed while vomiting a little of my liquid."C
POV JEANNE…"I want to name her Rosaline."I looked at Leo's excited face as he talked about having a daughter. It's now 11pm and we still haven't gotten out of bed. I want to laze around a bit, that's because Leo didn't give me a minute's rest during our lovemaking. We do it for almost 9 hours non-stop and it makes my brain go blank from the sheer pleasure I feel as Leo keeps moving his hips.Around 5am he stopped the action and we fell asleep. When we woke up at 9am, we had a deep talk and talked about many things including clearing up our misunderstandings. In the end, our discussion ended up talking about plans to have children."Are you kidding me? I'm not even pregnant yet," I said as I chuckled softly, "Why are you already assuming that our child will be a girl? Don't most men prefer boys anyway?" We actually had a bit of an argument about this. Leo wanted a girl, while I was actually more hopeful of having a boy because I thought it would be fun to see him grow up and beco
POV JEANNE…"J-Jeanne, I'm really not strong, ugh...!"I held Leo's shoulders as I massaged him gently, while he himself sat on a bench on the partition of a pond. After receiving an invitation from Ezra to go on a double date to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Leo and I decided to fly out the day before the event. We stayed at one of the hotels on my property — not a 5-star hotel, but at least we could enjoy a better view than most hotels in Anaheim. "Are you okay?" I said, "Or maybe we should go buy some candy to ease the nausea?" I looked worriedly at Leo whose face looked pale. We had just finished riding the roller coaster and Leo was pushing himself too hard to ride because of Libby's teasing. Actually, I also just found out that Leo doesn't like adrenaline games like that. I thought all mobsters were always associated with adrenaline-pumping things. "No need, dear. I just want to sit down for a while to calm down. My head feels like it's spinning," Leo said, sounding w
POV JEANNE … "What?!" I got up from my position. I stood behind Samuel's body and then released my grip on Samuel's arm. "We met long before you knew my brother, you say?" I asked in astonishment. For a moment, our eyes met as Samuel glanced at me. However, not long after, he took his eyes off me again. "Forget it." "..." "No matter how well I explain it to you, it won't change anything," he said. She then released my grip on her arm and walked out of the room. CREAK! SLAM! I, on the other hand, was still rooted to my spot and staring at her disappearing figure from behind the door of the room. Not even the banging sound of the door closing made me flinch. I then threw myself back onto the bed behind me, sitting down while staring at the door. With a bitter smile, I muttered, "What the hell did he say?" I paused, trying to digest what Samuel had just told me. At least I tried to dig up my memories of Samuel back then. However, I couldn't find anythin
POV JEANNE…SLAP!I slapped Samuel as soon as I regained my consciousness. Staring at him without a word coming out of my mouth. He looked surprised and seemed to freeze for a while. Until he finally looked at me with a soft gaze full of regret. "I'm sorry...""...""I couldn't hold myself and —""I-It's late," I interrupted him and immediately turned my back to him. I bit my lower lip, trying to hold back all the emotion inside me. "Jeanne, I —""Go back to your room," I said, "I'll open the door for you from this room." Then I walked in and went to the door that connected this room with the second floor corridor. CLICK!After the lock opened, I immediately opened the door to my room.I then turned around and looked at the balcony door. Samuel was still standing there, looking at me before he finally lowered his face. Shortly after, he walked towards me."I'm sorry."Those were the last words I heard from him, before he walked out of my room. SLAM!Immediately afterward, I sl
POV JEANNE…"Good night, dear...""...""...and have a good rest."After chatting for a while with Aunt Lydia a.k.a Samuel's mother in the TV room while enjoying a cup of warm tea, our conversation finally ended at midnight. Aunt Lydia then escorted me to one of the rooms on the second floor. It was the same room I remembered from my first stay at Dawn's family home. "Thank you, aunt Lydia and good night to you too," I replied. CREAKShe didn't answer me and just gave me a smile as she closed the door. However, only halfway through closing the door, I saw her suddenly stop. "Ah, I almost forgot to say this," she said as she opened the door completely again. "Yes? Do you need anything?" I asked back. I saw that afterward, Aunt Lydia was smiling and seemed to be teasing me. "By the way, Samuel's room is next to yours," she said in a teasing tone. I knew where this was going, but I chose to pretend I didn't know. Smiling awkwardly, I replied, "I see." "Well, just in case you
"Divorce isn't always a bad thing anyway." "..." "Sometimes, it's even a good thing to get away from a toxic relationship," she said, smiling at me, "So at least be happy. Maybe it's God's way of saving you from the harm that will come to you if you stay with him." Hearing those words, I fell silent and immediately thought about my relationship with Samuel. If I think about it, our relationship is too toxic to maintain. Even though Leo said he loved me and I was already in love with him, the way he expressed his love sometimes made me feel uncomfortable. "You're right, auntie," I said later, "Thank you for giving me a new perspective." Lydia then replied me with her warm smile. "Of course, dear," she said and then glanced at Samuel with a meaningful smile. "..." "Moreover, you can count on Samuel from now on," she said in a teasing tone, "He will glad to help you." I see where this is going - I said to myself. Instead of rejecting him outright, I just smiled
POV JEANNE … "How was the food, Jeanne?" "It's delicious," I said as I smiled at the woman in front of me, "You've always been a talented cook, auntie." I was currently enjoying dinner at Dawn's family home. I occasionally glanced at Samuel who seemed to be enjoying the leftovers on his plate quietly. "Ah, you praise me too much~" Lydia — Samuel's mother — said with an embarrassed smile. "Hm, it just common taste," Samuel said suddenly, "Besides it, I think you put too much —" Samuel stopped what he was saying and smiled awkwardly. I followed the direction of Samuel's gaze to his mother, who was already glaring. "N-No, it's not," Samuel said then and stammered a little, "I was just joking. Mom's cooking is the best, hahaha." Then Lydia's sharp gaze softened as a smile spread across her face. "Thank you~" she said. "Hm, but it would be better if you didn't cook anymore," Samuel said again, not long after that. "Samuel!" Lydia said half shouting. I was jus
POV JEANNE … "Is it really okay?" I asked. I was currently in Samuel's car and we were heading to Dawn's family residence. After rejecting Samuel's propose, I decided to go home. But Samuel suddenly invited me to have dinner with his family. And I don't know what came over me, but I said yes. "After all, this is your quality time with your parents," I said again. I looked doubtful at Samuel who was sitting in the driving seat, right next to me. He then glanced back at me. "Calm down," he said, chuckling softly, "Don't you already know my parents?" I lowered my gaze and then said again, "Yes, but it's been a long time since I've seen them." "..." "Isn't this supposed to be your time with them anyway?" I said again, "You once said that you often don't have time to spend with them, even to enjoy dinner together." A second later, Samuel chuckled softly. "Oh come on Jeanne, I'm sure they'll be happy to see you," he said casually. "..." "They already think of you
POV JEANNE…"So that's the problem...""...""I think he's gone too far," Samuel said, "And it's best that you separate from a temperamental person like him." "...""You'll only put yourself in a toxic relationship if you continue to stay with him," Samuel said again, "Moreover, your marriage is only a contract. What's with a guy like that? Only dare to give the woman he loves with a contract marriage. Tch! He's a loser."I smiled weakly when I heard Samuel's words. What he said was true, nothing good would come from maintaining a relationship with a temperamental person. However, on the other hand, I still love Leo. And even though I said earlier that I didn't want this child I was carrying, I still had the conscience not to throw it away. "I also think it's fine to be the father of the child you're carrying. Of course, if you don't mind," he said again. My eyes widened when I heard the sentence that came out of Samuel's mouth. However, instead of answering him, I smiled bitterl
POV JEANNE… "Leo, what did you do?!" I said in a high tone to Leo just after he poured the drink on Noah's face. But he seemed to ignore my words. The next second, Leo seemed to grab Noah by the collar and then he punched Noah's stomach and face.WHACK! WHACK!"You bastard! How dare you approach my wife when I'm not around," Leo said as he kicked Noah several times in the stomach. I, who saw this, immediately approached Leo and tried to stop him. "Stop it! Leo! Enough is enough!" I said.I tried to bring Leo a little away from Noah who was crying in pain on the floor while holding his stomach."Ugh! Cough! L-Leo, listen to my explanation, this is all just ... a misunderstanding — Cough!" Noah said, stammering in the middle of his groaning and coughing."Misunderstanding? You said that after I caught you approaching my wife, hm?!" replied Leo and then I heard him laugh sarcastically, "Don't you remember what you did back then, huh?!" "Leo, don't! Stop it! This is all just —""Sh
POV JEANNE…"Yes, do it that way..."CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!"Give a more natural smile — Yes! Good!" Amidst the hustle and bustle of the people around me, my gaze focused on the figure of Noah who was still in the middle of a photo shoot and recording session for an advertisement. "It was only a month ago that he did a 'face reveal' as Noisjy, and now he has a lot of advertising jobs," I said as I smiled at him.After I left Marea Restaurant yesterday, Noah immediately contacted me. We had originally promised to meet in person at Ocean Prime Restaurant, but Noah suddenly informed me that afternoon that he might be a little late because he had another job to do. I finally decided to go to his studio, which also happened to be not far from Ocean Prime. I then turned my gaze around and found the studio crews looking at me hatefully. It seems that apart from being a crew, they are also fans — I thought.With a smile of astonishment, I then said, "And there are also many troublesome fans
