The smile on my husband's face turned into a worried look."Did something happen at Mix?" Daon asked."No, I just need to talk to you," Jayden replied."Is it serious?" Daon inquired."You'll know as soon as we talk," Jayden said.My breathing was labored, my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst from my chest, and I felt a chill in my stomach that seemed to freeze my soul. My whole body was trembling, and I wanted to start crying right then and there."Alright, in that case, I'll put on some clothes and be right back," Daon said."Okay, I'll wait here," Jayden responded.Daon went back upstairs, and a tear fell down my cheek."Jayden, for God's sake, don't do this to me. Please don't tell Daon," I pleaded."You're not leaving me any choice," Jayden said.The tears now streamed down my face, and he approached me, wiping them away as desperation took over me."It's up to you," he said mockingly, and I felt the urge to punch him."You're such a jerk!" I exclaimed."I'm
I went upstairs, took a shower, put on the first dress I found, and didn’t bother to look too polished. I went down the stairs, and if he hadn’t been blackmailing me, I was sure I wouldn’t have been going. I went outside and got into the white car waiting for me; when I entered, he smiled at me, and as much as I was angry, it was impossible not to notice how handsome this man was. He moved toward me, intending to kiss me, but I turned my face, so he settled for a kiss on my cheek."Have you had lunch?" he asked."I'm not hungry," I said."But you need to eat; we're going to a restaurant that..." he started to say.I interrupted him."Jayden, just say what you want already. There’s no need for so much beating around the bush. You just want to sleep with me, right? Then don’t bother taking me to any restaurant. Just take me somewhere where we can get this over with."He looked at me, his pink lips parted, and seemed disappointed by my words, then he raised his eyebrows and took a deep b
I didn't expect to hear those words from his mouth, and honestly, I didn't even know that was possible. Daon always told me about Jayden, and it was always the same things: that he doesn't get attached to anyone, that he doesn't hook up with a woman more than once. Yet, here he was, saying he was in love with me.“Is this a joke at this time of day?” I asked in a mocking tone.He got up from the bed, took off the rest of his clothes, and went to the bathroom, turning on the hot tub to fill it.“Come to the tub with me!” he asked.I got out of bed and stepped into the tub. He lay facing me, pulling my feet to his chest, and we stared at each other while he caressed them.“It’s not a joke. I wish it were,” he said.“Don’t play with something like this,” I replied.“I’m serious, Jane. I’ve never wanted a woman this much,” he asserted.“Do you know what that is?” I asked.“Pussy tea?” he joked.I looked at him seriously while he laughed.“It’s just a whim. Because you can’t have me, becau
It didn’t take long for us to end up in bed again, but this time we forgot to use protection and couldn’t control ourselves. Part of that was my fault too, but I needed to take it out on someone, I needed to blame Jayden for pursuing me and confessing his feelings, making me lose my mind every time I saw him."Jayden! I can’t believe this," I said, incredulous.He smiled, and I slapped his face when he let me go, which made him smile even more."Don’t you take any birth control pills?" Jayden asked, worried."No, you idiot!" I replied, irritated.He tried to comfort me with a hug, but I just rolled my eyes."Let go of me!" I screamed, trying to pull away.I was so angry that I ended up scratching his neck and even the side of his face."Jane!" Jayden exclaimed, surprised.He finally let me go, and I picked up my clothes from the floor of the room, headed to the bathroom and slammed the door. I turned on the shower and let the water run over my body while tears streamed down my face. A
Jayden Park Point of view.Earlier on that day,I just dropped Lyanne off at home, and I'm still deeply shaken by everything that happened. Seeing her cry because of something I did really affected me in a way I can't explain. I was trying to feel like she was mine, and because of that, I almost lost her for good. I feel like she does everything to push me away, says things to hurt me, and denies what she feels for me all the time. But no one kisses like that if they feel nothing. When she's in my arms, she surrenders in a way no other woman ever has to me. From the first day, I wanted her to be mine, and after today, I'm sure I'm in love, but I don't know how to deal with it.I decide to go straight to the office to see how things are going and make sure everything is running smoothly. I delegated many tasks to Daon, and I know he's more than capable of being a C E O, but I'm not proud to admit that part of the reason I did it was to keep him busy, traveling a lot, so I could have m
Jayden point of view.I almost have a heart attack at Simon's revelation, but I relax slightly, realizing that, after all, it could be any married woman in the world."What?" Daon asks incredulously, clearly taken aback by Simon's statement."Yeah, he's head over heels for her, and I'm trying to make him see the bright side. He just gets the good part, which is the sex, while the poor husband deals with the women's annoyances," Simon continues, seemingly unfazed by Daon's reaction.Daon sits next to Simon, facing me, and seems to be processing the information."Married?" Daon asks, trying to grasp the complexities of my situation."Yeah, but don't you agree with me? He's getting the best part of the relationship, which is sex. He spends the afternoon with her, and the rest is up to her husband," Simon argues, still convinced of his viewpoint.Daon considers Simon's words carefully and shakes his head negatively."Sorry, man, but I don't see it that way," Daon disagrees, his voice ting
I didn't know the answer to any of these questions, and hearing this from Daon made it even worse because I was sure he knew the answers."I don't know," I confessed, looking down."Then you're not in love. When you love someone, you want to know everything," Daon concluded."He's right. I even knew the exact days of the month my ex would get her period," Simon added.Talking to them only made me feel worse. I couldn't stop thinking about how I really didn't know anything about her. Maybe they were right."Think about it carefully. I'm sure you'll realize you're not in love," Daon advised with a smile."Yeah. Maybe you guys are right," I admitted reluctantly."Why don't you give Leeji a chance? When we mentioned Daon's celebration today, she didn't want to come, but when we said you were coming, she got all excited," Daon suggested enthusiastically.Leeji was one of Mix's rising stars. Besides being very talented, she was beautiful and fit all the Korean beauty standards, which was wh
Jayden Point of View.I felt her body tremble and saw her eyes fill with tears as she glanced from my eyes to my lips. My tone was pleading; I was almost begging for any sign that I shouldn't give up on her, but she gave me none. She swallowed hard, and when her eyes met mine again, they showed a coldness that nearly froze my soul."I love Daon. Only him! I don't feel anything for you. So move on and be happy with whoever you want," she stated, and I shook my head in denial."He's not even being honest with you!" I said, knowing it might drive them apart, and I realized I would do anything for her."What?" Jane asked, turning her body toward me upon hearing my words. I stepped closer, grabbing her arms."The woman at the table, Louyse, is in love with him, and they almost got together," I revealed, and she smiled, looking disappointed in me."You are really low. He told me about her. He's honest and doesn't play with people, unlike you, who are saying this to turn me against him," Jan
