CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Ethan's POV
"I'm sorry, boss. We lost her. She banned us from entering the building." Simone said.
I threw away the folder that I was holding. My assistant ran and picked up the papers from the floor.
"Is she even wearing her necklace? The tracking device on her car is gone too!" I shouted and ended the call.
I hurriedly called Jessica but her phone was dead. Fuck! She really likes it when I'm fuming mad!
"B-boss E.T should I reschedule the monthly meeting? The engineers and architects are waiting in the conference room." Irina said.
"Don't. I will ask Arch. Jacob to replace me. I hav
Jessica's POV I went straight to the shooting range after the meeting. I felt like I was holding a big air inside my chest that I needed to let out. I didn't imagine Cindy's childhood to be like that. She never told me anything about her past. I sighed and looked at the guns on the wall. I need to practice more. "Hey." I looked at my back and saw Phoenix walking up to me. I got the guns and handed them to her. Centaur's not around to help me this time but I need Phoenix's hard way of teaching. Somehow, I could vent my stress to her. Maybe because we are both girls. "Please teach me how to use two guns at once." I said. Her eyes fixed to mine. She accepted the guns and checked its magazine. "You have to watch me once. I need to go somewhere." She said and entered the cubicle on my left side. I put on the ear plugs, readying myself. She positioned herself so
Ethan's POV I gently touched the bruise on her left shoulder. She looked up at me and smiled. "That was from my taekwondo lesson. Stop over thinking." She laughed and stroked my hair. This girl knows me so well. "I don't need any guard following me around." She started again. Of course you do. As long as the Mendez group is at large you will never be safe without me by your side. I wanted to say out loud but controlled myself. I don't want to scare her. "Then stay with me. Live with me." I said seriously. Her mouth opened but she didn't say any words. "I'm serious. No guards as long as you stay with me. I'll be your driver, your assistant, chef? I will be whatever you want me to be. Come on, tell me." I tried to lighten up the mood. "I just need you to trust me. That's all I want from you. I'm not a child anymore. I don't need anyone's guidance." She said smiling but with tears in her eyes. I wiped away the pain from her beautiful face. "I trust you, baby. I just love you s
Jessica’s POVI was on the other side of the door while Cindy’s trying to open it with our old password lock pin. She took out her phone. I bet she will call me so I open the door with a straight face. I'm just controlling my emotions while holding a glass of red wine. I don’t want to burst out crying infront of her.I want her to let me in. To tell me the truth because I’m her friend.She is my sister.“Hi. You changed the password?" She asked. I drink from my glass so I will have more courage. I gave her space to walk in.I went to the bar area and poured her a glass of wine."Cindy Anne Lopez. Am I a friend to you?" I calmly asked when I handed her the glass.A line appeared between her brows."What? Jessy you are like a sister to me. You know that. Now, what's your problem?" She dropped her bag and tried to get the glass off of me.I stepped back two times and glanced up to the ceiling.I remembered the first time that I saw her. "Almost eight years ago. Mom introduced you to me
Jessica’s POVI rolled down my car’s window and smiled at the guard."Hello, Ma'am Jessica. Ms. Cindy is waiting for you inside. Let me take care of your car." He smiled warmly and opened the door for me.“Hi. Thank you." I said, accepting his hand as he helped me out of the car. This poison ivy dress was giving me a hard time, hugging a little tighter than I remembered. I sighed, recalling the extra pound or two I had gained recently.I looked around the block, scanning the area to see if my bodyguards had followed me. No familiar faces stood out, but I noticed a few men in white uniforms checking the cars that were passing by this large imposing house. Something about their watchful eyes made me feel slightly uneasy.“This way, Ma’am.” a middle-aged man said, gesturing toward the grand entrance. His tone was respectful, yet firm. I nodded, gathering the fabric of my dress, and followed him inside.My eyes widened as I took in the elegant pathway leading to the garden. God! This hou
"What are you doing? Are you serious?" he whispered to me. "Quiet." I answered and pushed him into my car. "Sir, he's just on the mobile with the others caught." stop me one. "I'll take him. I'll go first." I said seriously and entered. Jessy slapped me on the arm. "You're really going to catch me Ethan!" he shouted. I grinned and started the car. "Stop this car! I hate you!" he shouted. I smiled when I looked at him. Who would have thought he was Black Mamba? I broke down remembering what he did earlier.
Why so charming Ethan? I'm your boyfriend but it still hasn't faded. Just a smile, I'm still thrilled. I giggled as he pinched my waist as we sat on the couch. He lifted my thigh and placed it on his lap. "And for the record, I am so proud of you sweetheart. You, being my Jessy is enough for me, but being Black Mamba? You're amazing." he said and took my hand and kissed it. He is so sweet, I don't know how to hide my excitement so I pulled his neck and kissed him. This foxxy is mine. So if you plan to kidnap him then think twice. I am a tough opponent. ------------------------ Ethan's POV "Is Ethan
Ethan's POV We were on our way home and Jessy and Mommy were asleep in the back seat. "Son, don't you know that your brother is dating you?" dad asked. I looked at him and shook my head. "P-po? Ahm, no dad. Why?" I will ask. "Nothing son, you know, your brother can't take it anymore. I don't know if I'll be glad he hasn't been introduced to us yet but I think he's hiding something." he said and looked at Mommy. "I'm not sure." my answer. I was suddenly nervous, as if Dad knew something. Until we got to the mansion Dad didn't ask any more questions. Dad just told me to carry Jessy to
"You even called him baby! Do you know how much I restrained myself from punching him earlier?" he said and squeezed his penis. I'm nervous. Is it the other way around? I must have been angry but I lost everything I had to say when I saw his forehead furrowed. "I'm a jealous person Jessy! You know that! That's what you're still using on me!" annoyed he said and turned his back on me. I couldn’t stop him anymore when he left and left me. Am I overdoing it? ** Ethan's POV Annoyed I went back inside, at their table Mommy I go. She's really trying my patience.
