My Contract Marriage Beast in sheep clothing
“Crystal, you can’t keep yourself locked in there forever!” Jake yelled as he bang on the door to his bathroom repeatedly, she didn’t come out to him, even though he had been asking her nicely to come outside and he had apologized to her countless times too. She had locked herself in his bathroom, ever since their small squabble, he would admit to the fact that he had overreacted. “Alright, fine, I was wrong, Crystal, I promise to not hit you again, so please come out, I am sorry.” He heard the locks on the door and it opened slightly, she stared back at him dead in the eyes, her lips pursed together stubbornly. “Crystal…” he reached for her face but she slapped his hands away in anger, one half of her face was swollen so badly, and her lips were busted too. It seemed like he had used a lot more strength than he had intended. “…I am sorry, I-I was drunk.” “You were drunk?” His lashes drooped down when he noticed the sarcasm in her voice. “You hit me because you were drunk
My Contract Marriage I'll fix this
She scrolled further into the message, she heard a loud snap and she jolted in her chair. “Crystal! I can’t find my shampoo!” Jake yelled from inside the bathroom and she got up in a daze, her heart pounding in her chest. “I bought another one, it’s in the shelf.” She yelled back not moving an inch from where she stood but she peeked towards the entrance in desperation. “Thanks!” His voice lowered and she sat down on the chair again, she unlocked his phone one more time as she scrolled through his messages again, looking for that particular one that was the only message that interested her. “I told you it’s a thousand dollars per shots and I only do sleepy shots.” Jake had replied in one of the previous messages, which made her even more curious, because what did he mean by doing “sleepy shots”. “What is this?” She asked herself when she saw that the pictures in question, were pictures of herself and they were nowhere near decent. She had never taken these kinds of pictures,
My Contract Marriage Not Just a Threat
“How are you feeling?” Paige asked Crystal who stared blankly at the ceiling, even though she could see Paige, she couldn’t speak to her, there were a lot of things she wanted to say but it was as though she had been stripped of her strength. “Crystal…” Paige called again, hoping for a response of some sort but Crystal simply blinked back at her, that’s right, what does she except? Crystal had just woken up from her coma, it has been five month since she was unconscious and she woke up about three days ago, it was natural she was still unresponsive. Paige glanced up at Cassandra and shook her head; Cassandra stepped towards the bed eagerly. “Crystal, can you hear me?” She asked reaching for her hands on the bed; Crystal just blinked back, tears welling in her eyes, tears that would later stream out of her eyes. “Why won’t you say anything?”The frustration was evident in Cassie’s voice, she wanted to hurl up her sister and shake her back to reality, a lot of things had happened to
My Contract Marriage Just a Slice
“Why do you keep looking at me like you expect me to do something terrible?” Crystal finally asked breaking the awkward silence, both her sister and Paige sat down on her bed, and they stared at her like she had grown another head, there was a faint smile on her lips, in her way she tried to keep them relaxed but it would seem that she was doing the opposite. “Do you want me to cry then you know that I am fine?”“That’s not it,” Cassandra snapped and her forehead crinkled in a small frown. “You should know that the reason we are here is because we care and worry about you, I don’t trust leaving you on your own either, who knows what stupid thing you would do this time around.”She murmured the last of her statement but the seriousness didn’t leave. “I am not going to do anything,” Crystal interjected with a small playful pout, but neither Paige nor Cassandra was convinced, everything she said or did seemed suspicious to them. “I promise.”“You have to let one of us stay with you for
My Contract Marriage Let's get Divorced
Kayden got out of his bathroom, with a towel draped around his shoulder, he had been unable to sleep as well, scrolling through the internet looking for hate comments, so he could report the account and watch it get taken down. If none of this had happened, he would probably be done with work now and he would be preparing to sleep, this was the second time he was taking his shower that night because he had been restless. He glanced at the piece of metal that was sitting on the bedstand and the screen reflected the lights to his face, it belonged to Crystal, Paige had given him the phone because she thought it would be best if he kept it instead. He strolls towards the bed running the towel into his wet hair since it is too late to use a blow dryer, he picks up the phone from the small table. His eyes inspected it, it was small and from a brand he had never heard of, she probably got it cheap or second-handed; he didn’t even know phones like this existed. That woman, Crystal even t
My Contract Marriage Meeting Jake
“I have no idea what you are talking about,” Jake answered the gentleman dressed exclusively in a well-tailored Armani suit, he had introduced himself as Joe and his colleague was Liam. These strangers had come to pick him up at his part-time job this morning; he had recently gotten the job with the help of his mother; she had put in a good word with the manager of the store; and even though the man had been skeptical about hiring an ex-convict but he awarded him the job because of the close relationship he had with his mother. But now, once again, he was dragged away by private investigating officers, there was no doubt that as soon as he was back, he would be receiving his sack letter… he would be disappointing his mother yet again and the name which was brought up, was one he never wanted to hear of.“Don’t you think you’re keeping me here illegally? I might be a delinquent but I know my rights very well.”“I’m sorry, but you’re not here illegally, as we have explained you a
My Contract Marriage Who are you
“I’m sorry, but we are not hiring.” The middle aged man clarified with a small frown on his face, Jake’s eyes narrowed when he noticed the man’s judging stare. “I read it clearly on the notice and it says you’re looking for a store attendant.” Jake argued with him, not that it would do him any good, he didn’t just want to leave like he would usually do, but everyone on this street knows him already. “How come you are not hiring all of a sudden?” It was pointless trying to fight them anyways, so he just left, he knows the reason why he was being turned down, and everyone in the neighborhood must have heard the gravity of his crimes to stigmatize him like that. “How did it go?” His mother asked as soon as Jake came inside the living room, the smell of the familiar, beef stir fry he enjoyed eating as a child wafted into his nose as he walked in, at first he ignored his mother in the room and he went in search of the person cooking his favourite delicacy, he peeped into the kitche
My Contract Marriage I will help you
Jake drummed his fingers on the table; as he contemplated his sudden willingness to meet with the stranger who had messaged him last night. He had chosen a location that is away from the scrutinizing eyes of the public, and he was wearing a small disguise, he didn’t want to spend much money so he bought a hat and some pair of glasses to shield his eyes; just as the unknown sender had ordered him to.He scoffed, as he wondered since when he had become so obedient, the waitress approached him for the seventh time, because he had been sitting for more than half an hour and he hadn’t ordered anything. “Have you decided what you want to order, sir?” She asked him politely, her pearl blue eyes feeling him up and he smiled nervously. “Hum… my date is running late, I apologize, just give me some light appetizer.” She nodded at him and strolled back into the distance, trying to set up his order for him. “What’s up with table four?” Her manager asked his silver eyes shooting to Jake in
