Jane Point of View.With enough energy for however many fights were necessary, I walked toward Jayden, ready to take out all my frustration on his perfect face. But the man who was training us quickly intervened, stepping between us."Then, maybe we can do a demonstration for her first. Jane, you can sit here on the mat and observe how the fight dynamics work," Seo suggested. Before I could argue and say how ready I was for this fight, they started greeting each other in the ring like some kind of ritual unknown to me.I moved a little distance away and sat on the floor, putting my arms behind my body to support my weight, which exposed my lap a bit. I only realized this when Seo looked at me blatantly while smiling, and at that moment, Jayden gave him a light punch, calling his attention."Why that? I didn't even say we'd started yet," Seo asked indignantly, and Jayden shrugged with a smile."Just to keep you on your toes!" His tone was playful, but I knew he didn't like it.They pra
I couldn't resist the idea of being in a place where no other woman had been before. I wanted to go to his house, to see the environment where he felt comfortable, and I really wanted to feel that I was the first one to do so. When we arrived, he parked the car in the garage of the building, which was common but very beautiful. The modern architecture of the condominium added an extra charm and made the place feel cozy.He got out of the car, opened the door for me, and extended his hand to help me out. We entered the elevator, and Jayden pressed the button for the top floor. He was excited like a child, and I couldn't stop smiling. He pulled me into a hug and began kissing me amid the smiles that lit up his face."I love seeing you like this," he said, his voice gentle."Like what?" I asked, intrigued."Smiling, accepting my kisses, talking all cute," he said, cupping my face in his hands and eagerly kissing my lips."Really? You're loving it?" I asked, feeling pleased, and he nodded
As I plunged into a sea of uncertainty and anxiety, fearing being discovered by the man I loved, Jayden seemed calm, as if we weren't taking terrible risks by meeting. We were betraying everything that mattered most to us. Daon was Jayden's best friend, yet he showed no remorse for being involved with me, his wife. As for me, I felt condemned and dirty, but at the same time, I was so addicted to Jayden that I knew there wasn't much I could do other than admit that he was affecting me."Calm down, he probably hasn't left the office yet," Jayden said, trying in vain to comfort me as I ran my hands through my hair to make it more presentable."Check the alarm then," I asked hopefully, trying to stay calm, but I was so nervous that I was irritated even by how long it took him to sit on the bed.He fiddled with his phone, squinting as if trying to see something he couldn't."Hurry up, Jayden! Check it already!" I demanded in a louder tone, and he sighed."Calm down! I can't see well withou
The worst part of hearing those words from Daon was knowing they were true. When I made a mistake, which, by the way, was much worse than what he did, he forgave me. But I never thought he would use that against me, and I must confess that it left me disappointed. I turned to face him, and his face was covered in tears. At that moment, I couldn't hold back anymore and broke down."I can't believe you're throwing that in my face!" I said, surprised.Daon stood up and walked toward me, and I could see his desperation, but that didn't justify what he had said. This was the kind of thing Jayden would do, not the man I had married. Or at least, that's what I thought. I always thought of Daon as someone incapable of playing games or doing things like that, yet here he was, using my mistake to justify his own. He seemed to realize what he had done and took my face in his hands, planting a kiss on my lips."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," Daon apologized, trying to ease the situation.
It was possible to see how broken Jayden's heart was with every ragged breath he let escape from his parted rosy lips as he tried to find a justification for his presence."I'm here to pick up Jane to go to the gym." The tattooed man explained, averting his gaze, and even a blind person could see through his lie."Look at him, all fitness!" Daon joked, but neither of us smiled."Yeah, I need to stay in shape for the shows. So, Jane, shall we go?" He suggested, hopeful. His gaze was pleading, and my heart broke when I said."No." I simply refused, and I noticed him waver as if his knees had weakened."No?" He repeated, questioning, and the hurt in his voice was evident."No. I'm not going to work out anymore." I stated, determined.He looked at me, seeming confused, as if trying to decipher my expression."No? But you seemed to enjoy working out so much." He sighed, sadly, and I shrugged, noticing the desperation in his eyes."Yeah, but I prefer to spend time with my husband and decide
The Previous Day.Daon's point of view.I just sent Jane a message letting her know that I'd be late for dinner again. She's been very patient, but I know she feels lonely. Sometimes I notice her staring into space or just looking sad for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if I made the right decision in accepting this position as C E O, because although it's a great opportunity, it couldn't have come at a worse time.My wife doesn't speak Korean and doesn't have friends here, so I sometimes feel guilty when I have to leave her alone for long periods, which has been happening often. That's why I was very excited about the idea of a mini-honeymoon with her. We didn't have the opportunity to do that when we got married because of my concert schedule, but I really want to do everything I can to show her how much I love her. That's why I arranged everything so that, even with my shows, I'll have time to enjoy and spend time with her.I still feel bad about the day I ended up sleeping out, a
Daon’s point of view.I went from heaven to hell in an instant. My heart shattered just like that plate, and I sighed, stifling the tears that wanted to fall as I clenched my fists."What happened, Jane?" I asked, praying she had a good excuse for being so nervous."My hand cramped up," she said simply, smiling nonchalantly.I stared at her hand, praying that was all it was, but I couldn’t come to a conclusion. When we lay down, she snuggled up to my chest, and I wondered if she had done this with him. Had he seen her sleeping with her lips slightly parted? Did she love him? Surely, he had feelings for her, but did she reciprocate?I couldn’t sleep, staring at the ceiling and coming up with a thousand theories to justify or confirm my suspicion. When it was already past three in the morning, I got up and went to the living room. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and sprawled on the couch, trying to get rid of these thoughts. After two or five drinks, I ended up falling asleep on the
Jane's Point of ViewThe Seattle winds made my hair dance, and even though it wasn't my hometown, just being back in America made me feel good. There was no one judging my clothes, and no one speaking a language I couldn't understand. I was smiling and laughed even more when we picked up our luggage and Jayden sat on one of the bags, pushing himself along like it was a car. He looked like a child, and that made me fall for him more each day."Are you done, Peter Pan?" I teased him, and he grinned."If I'm Peter Pan, you're Tinker Bell," he retorted, making me pout."If I'm Tinker Bell, then who's your Wendy?" I asked, folding my arms, and he smiled, stepping closer to me."See? That's why you're Tinker Bell. Sexy, jealous, and magical," he said, giving me a kiss with each adjective, quickly dissolving the pout on my lips."Magical, huh?" I asked, curious.He leaned into my ear and said in a husky voice, sending shivers down my spine, "Yes, because what you do to me, making me so in lo
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
