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
Jane’s Point of ViewFour years later.I woke up stretching, desperately wishing to sleep for ten more minutes before the twins burst into the room, jumping on the bed like they did every morning. Before I could close my eyes again, I felt the familiar touch of my husband on my arms and soon felt him pressing his body against mine, already kissing my neck.“Time to wake up, sleepyhead,” he said.“No, just ten more minutes,” I whined, feeling his body against mine.“What if we use those ten minutes to do something much better?” he teased, making me smile, teasing him back.“Aren’t you tired, Mister Park? We barely slept last night,” I remarked.He smiled and took my hand, pulling me on top of him.“Of course, it’s not every day the kids go to bed early,” he retorted.“Well, after spending the whole day at the amusement park,” I commented.He sat up on the bed, pulling me into a kiss, and lifted my nightgown, quickly taking it off completely. I took the opportunity to remove his shirt,
Jane’s Point of ViewMaryna pouted, and I couldn’t help but smile when Louyse seemed to tug at her blouse.“You don’t need to apologize. Now we’re all going to be a family, and the only thing that matters is your well-being,” Louyse said, looking pleased.She seemed to realize what she had said, and everyone stared at her, then looked at me.“Family?” I asked.“Stop scaring my patient, you impatient lot. Let me examine her first,” the doctor joked, and started examining me. He soon sighed as if thinking of a simple way to deliver news I wasn’t sure was good or bad.“Alright, your vital signs are normal, and your blood pressure is steady. Jane, the sedative you were given was strong, but not enough to keep you unconscious for more than two hours. However, what complicated things is that you're pregnant,” the doctor stated.“Pregnant?” I asked, startled.“Yes. Nearly six weeks along,” the doctor confirmed.I was completely shocked, and the worst part was that I didn’t even know who the
Jane’s Point of ViewBeing threatened, kidnapped, none of that affected me as much as the sound of that gunshot. I was still numb from the substance Bobby injected into me, but I managed to stand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, which allowed me to see everything clearly. Daon provoked Bobby, risking his own neck to save me despite my tearful pleas for him to leave.All I wanted was for everyone to get out of here safely. I just wanted to erase the stain of my existence from their lives so they wouldn’t have to go through this. I looked around, seeing the distress on the officers' faces, the tears streaming down Jayden’s flawless face, and Daon’s determined look, his eyes full of resolve to save me even if it cost him his life.When he achieved his goal and Bobby moved the gun from my head to point at him, Daon smirked, and my heart seemed to stop. It was as if Daon wanted Bobby to shoot him, and after a few words that made Bobby’s body tremble next to mine, I wanted to say
Jayden's Point of ViewBefore I could react, Maryna took off running, even in her long red evening gown. She kicked off her matching red heels and simply sprinted with surprising speed, catching up to them. She leaped onto the back of the taller figure, who appeared to be the man, and started hitting him on the head. The boys were as shocked as I was, but they quickly reacted, and we all ran over to help Maryna. However, the woman covered in a burka began screaming and crying in a language I didn’t recognize, and airport security surrounded us. Maryna managed to pull the cloth off the man's head and face, revealing that it wasn’t Bobby. The final boarding call for the flight to Venezuela was being made, and we were now surrounded by security. The situation couldn't have been more desperate. They were pulling Maryna off the man, restraining her with her hands bound in front of her using plastic ties. She was trying to explain the situation when something seemed to dawn on her, and her
Jayden's Point of ViewThe guard zooms in and, after enhancing the image, the vehicle’s license plate becomes clearly visible. Maryna grabs her phone and starts dialing a number while Daon seems to be growing increasingly anxious about his call."No! We have recordings that prove she was kidnapped! She didn’t run away! I CAN'T CALM DOWN! MY WIFE WAS DRUGGED, KIDNAPPED, AND YOU’RE TELLING ME TO WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW? BY TOMORROW HE’LL ALREADY HAVE TAKEN HER OUT OF THE COUNTRY, YOU IDIOT!" Daon shouted, enraged.He didn’t seem to be getting anywhere with the inspector, who appeared to be stubbornly holding onto his own version of the story. Meanwhile, Maryna looked excited as she spoke in a language I didn’t understand, and as soon as she hung up, my heart almost stopped."A long-time friend is going to try to track the car, but he reminded me of something important. The only airport with international flights is Incheon, so we need to head there immediately," Maryna explained urgently."
Jayden's Point of View.I knew that one day Daon would find out everything, and I thought that when that day came, I’d be able to say something better than just repeating meaningless apologies to him. I knew I was wrong, I knew Daon didn’t deserve any of this, but the more he talked, the more anger I felt. When he started hitting me relentlessly, without even trying to hear or understand what I had to say, I completely lost control and started throwing punches and kicks back at him.We were blindly attacking each other. My fists hurt and were covered in blood. I couldn’t tell if it was mine or Daon’s. I could hear Jane’s voice in the distance, trying to get us to stop, but the rage had blinded us. The only thing that finally made us stop was when Simon and Maryna appeared and pulled us apart before something worse happened. Even though they broke up the fight, we kept attacking each other, but now, instead of fists, we used words.“You’ve always been a selfish jerk! Without my help, y
Apologies were useless now, we had been discovered, and maybe it was for the best. Daon already knew everything, but perhaps seeing it with his own eyes would push him away from me and keep him safe, as I knew I could never stay by his side. Daon seemed completely destabilized by my response, and confusion was written all over his face."What? What do you mean?" he asked, intrigued by my revelation."I met Jayden on my first day here. When we went to meet your mother, and she treated me poorly, I left and went to a bar," I began, but my voice faltered.Maybe none of this would have happened if I hadn’t overheard what his mother said that day. Maybe it wouldn’t have happened if we hadn't come to Korea. No. I can’t blame my mistake on circumstances. The only one to blame for everything that happened was myself, for being weak. I let myself be carried away by my impulsiveness, and now I was suffering the consequences of my own actions."I know. You were with a guy there and said it meant
The man I love is capable of destroying all my defenses with just one look. He could make me sigh just by thinking of him, and now, as he touched me in that needy way, I knew there was nothing I could deny him."Then go crazy with me!" I pleaded, surrendering completely.What I had desired for so long was finally going to happen. I can't even say how many nights I spent awake, feeling my body burn with a fire I knew only he could extinguish."Make me yours, Jayden!" I begged, desperate."You are already mine, just as I am yours!" he declared, and I nodded, crossing my legs around his waist to prevent him from pulling away."I love you so much, Jane!" he sighed, and I smiled, satisfied, as our bodies fit together like the perfect puzzle."I love you too, Jayden!" I confessed, reaching my climax.When we were both trembling and completely satisfied, we adjusted ourselves as best as we could. We had silly smiles on our faces, and our messy hair gave away the love we had just made."You l
Dealing with Daon's mother was nothing compared to the whirlwind of emotions I'd been handling over the past few days, but it was still difficult. I rolled my eyes, unsure how to hide my dissatisfaction upon seeing her there, and only when I looked at her did I notice she was arm-in-arm with Louyse."Mom, please don’t start!" Daon warned her with a weak smile on his face, gripping my hand more firmly when I tried to step away."Start what, my son? I’m here on a peace mission. I was talking to Louyse, and the more I talk to her, the more certain I am that you two were born for each other." His mother gestured to the younger woman, who smiled as her cheeks flushed, pretending I wasn’t even there."Don’t say that, you’ll embarrass me," Louyse replied shyly, though it was clear she was enjoying it."It’s the pure truth, dear. I still have faith that my son will open his eyes and see you’re the ideal woman for him. Nothing would make me happier than seeing you two together," his mother ins
