As if struck by thunder, Rose was scorched on the outside yet tender on the inside.If she had not pretended to be a man, she would have never known that Jay would have such an acquired taste.“What’s your name?” Jay’s gaze fell on her ear piercings, and a smile appeared in his eyes.“Ange Lin.”“Ange Lin?” ‘Angeline?’Jay smiled even wider. “Nice name.”Then, his pliers-like hand squeezed her chin forcefully. “Tell me, what business do you have with Jean Ares?”Rose was forced to look up at him. When she saw the indignation in the man’s eyes, Rose shivered in fear.“I wanted to borrow one of Celestial Films’ currently popular movie stars, Flora—“ Rose was barely done with her sentence before she was interrupted by Jay’s impatient voice. “Do it with me. How about it?”Rose blushed at his words. ‘Can this guy carefully choose his words so that others won’t misunderstand him?’“Sir Ares, you don’t seem to have the authority to manage Celestial Media!” Rose only spoke facts. T
Rose slowly closed her eyes.She was no longer willing to open them. She merely felt the distinct amount of pleasure he was giving her.He was gentle as if he was dealing with a fragile porcelain doll. However, the occasional loss of control made her feel extremely overwhelmed, and finally, she could no longer bear the exhaustion. She got muddle-headed and fell asleep.By the time she woke up, it felt as if her body had fallen apart.She cast countless curses toward Jay at this moment. She wanted to take him outside and give him a good beating.How long would she have to rest before she could finally get out and work?It appeared to be dawn outside the window.It took Rose an immense amount of effort to get up. The slight breeze brought about a refreshing burst on her body, and that was when she found out that she was wearing nothing. Rose’s facial expression immediately changed.Jay would have definitely found out the fact that she was a woman.She wanted to get out of bed, y
“You recognize me?” Rose touched her pixie cute and stifled back tears.She had even cut off her beautiful black hair to evade him successfully. Yet, it barely took a day for her to be discovered by him?She had on heavy makeup and did exaggerated hairstyles to fool him for so much longer.Sigh, what a failure.“How’d you recognize me?” Rose tried to ask him humbly, merely to learn from her failure and better protect herself next time. Jay raised his hand and pinched her thin earlobe. Under the backlight, her lovely earlobe was glowing with transparent light. “Rose Loyle, don’t ever try to escape again. I remember every single mark you have on your body. Even if you’ve turned to ashes, I can still recognize you!”Rose was knocking on death’s door. “Do you want to test that theory?”Jay’s smile appeared faint as he looked at Rose’s restless and stubborn eyes. “It seems like you’ll never behave yourself unless I set you straight.”He stood up and pulled out his belt, then procee
If he found out that she had just secretly touched him, would she not die from embarrassment?She pulled out her hand vigorously, but he circled her further and hugged her into his arms. His chin rested on her forehead.This action was only shown between lovers, right?Rose did not dare to move.“Are you hungry?” The tone of his voice from just waking up was extremely languid. It was wretchedly alluring.It was already noon time. Rose was so hungry that she could eat a horse.However, she was inexplicably addicted to his embrace and refused to get up.Thus, she shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”The gentle, loving moment was soon destroyed by a sudden whistling sound made by Jean Ares. Jean was indignantly slamming his hand on the door downstairs.“Jay Ares, come out wherever you are!”Rose got up in shock and put on her camisole dress quickly.Jay sat up rather slowly and pulled her back to bed. “You can continue to sleep. I’ll wake you up after breakfast is ready.”He proc
Jay glared daggers at Jean, slicing him into a million pieces with his gaze. Yielding, Jean Ares put his soaked transparent shirt back on. “Fine, fine. All I did was take my shirt off. It’s not like I took advantage of you or anything, so what’s with the icy look?” “Why are you here?” Jay asked before walking away to the kitchen. Like Jay’s tail, Jean followed him wherever he went. “You know very well why I’m here. I’m your brother, and yet you came to my territory to steal my man?” Watching Jean close the door behind him, Jay traced back to reopen the kitchen door so that the little lady could eavesdrop on the two brothers’ conversation. Jean began to babble, “Don’t you dare pretend it never happened. After knocking me out last night, you took Ange for yourself. Even people a few floors away could hear Ange’s screams. Tell me. What did you do to him?” Standing before the kitchen counter, Jay replied in a casual tone as he prepared breakfast. “I see. Are you sure you’re not
“How can you be so impolite to your big sis, Jean Ares?” Rose asked spitefully. Surprisingly, Jean smiled. “Oh? Aren’t you a kind person, standing up for my oh-so-pitiful sister-in-law? It’s not like I’m insulting her on purpose, though. Jay told me himself how crude and ignorant my sister in law is. She’s a mere shallow and uneducated country girl. Right, Jay?” Rose’s expectant gaze fell on Jay as she stared at him with round eyes. Jean stared at his brother, waiting for Jay to back him up. Jay responded casually, “Your sister-in-law is kind, beautiful, and a pleasure to live with. It’s not my fault you’re too mean to say anything nice about other people.” Jean Ares, “...” Rose Loyle, “...” Jean picked at his ears. “I’m sorry, come again? That’s not what you said before, Jay. I’m pretty sure you called my big sis a stereotypical bimbo and something along the lines of how the only reason you married her was that she was easy to control and wouldn’t create trouble…” Jay’
Rose Loyle was dejected. Thanks to Jean Ares, she now knew that everyone in the Ares family thought her to be an idiot. With that being said, this ‘idiot’ now wanted to do something so astounding that would blow the minds of these pompous folks. Her eyes burned with humiliation upon spotting the ankle shackle on the bed. She did not want to stay a moment longer at this God-forsaken place. ‘If Sir Ares thinks he can hold me here, then he can dream on.’Rose opened the windows and found the distance between the second floor to the ground to be an estimated five meters. Looping one end of the metal chain on herself and the other end on the window frame, Rose scaled the smooth wall outside like she was Spider-man.In the first-floor living room. Shocked speechless by Jay’s words, Jean saw a large shadowy lump flash before his dazed eyes. “Spider-man?” Jean exclaimed while staring at Rose on the glass wall. With his back facing the glass wall, Jay was joking around with
Jean exclaimed, “How can this be a coincidence? Just think about it. Of all the times Big Sis could have run, she decided to run now. She must have planned this with Sean Bell so that he would pick her up from here. Am I wrong?” Jay glared despondently at him. “Shut your mouth before I kill you.” Jean merely replied in a displeased tone, “It’s okay. So what if Big Sis ran away? You still have me, right? Don’t worry, I’ll never tell anyone about such a scandal. That is, as long as you give Ange back to me.” Hostility flared in Jay’s eyes as he watched Sean Bell’s car slowly disappear from his view. After speeding at 120 miles an hour the entire way, Sean only dared to park his sports car by the roadside after double-checking to make sure no one had followed them. “It’s unlike Sir Ares to not follow us.” Sean mulled over. Rose, however, disagreed, for this was not the first time she had slipped past his fingertips. Facing Rose’s new tomboyish appearance, Sean chuckled humor
