Raina tried to separate from him to no avail. She tried to say something so he moved his hand from her mouth, she gasped in some air. Then she glared at him. "Jasper Smith! Do you have a death wish? Let go of me right now or I'm going to send you to the world beyond!" She threatened him. "On one condition, you're going to let me sleep in my room tonight. I am too tired and can't guard you. You do that or people are going to spread rumors about us. I don't think we have much time, you should make a decision fast." He replied with a smirk. "All these because you don't want to guard me? What a useless idiot. Let me go, you can go have your beauty sleep." Jasper let go of her, she wanted to get up when she saw a maid coming. She laid back on him to hide her face, her eyes met with his. Their heart raced faster, both unable to take their eyes off each other. Jasper stared at her lips, having the urge to kiss them. He restrained himself and looked away, bringing Raina back to her senses
Jasper saw Kelvin rush out of Raina's office like he was chased out, he burst into laughter. Kelvin scoffed and left in anger. Jasper imagined Raina's face right now, Kelvin must have done what he's not supposed to do to make her angry. He also stayed away from her office since she didn't invite him. Jessa came again by lunch break, she came into the building to personally ask Jasper. He did not want to go before, but then he decided against it. Raina would only get mad that shouldn't stop him from doing what he wants. They went to a restaurant that's not close to the company on Jessa's treat. Bella at this time was just passing by, she went into the restaurant to get something for Jasper, since he might still be at work. She wanted to use that excuse to visit him. It's been days and they have not talked or seen each other yet. She bumped into Jessa and Jasper coming out. She froze in shock, her eyes went to Jessa's hands and saw how they intertwined with Jasper's hand. "Bella?"
Jasper received a call from his mother at work that his sister has been arrested for harassing someone, he didn't ask who it is yet. He hung up and barged into Raina's office. Raina was startled at the force with which he used to open the door. "Quit barging into my office like that!" She yelled at him. "I'm sorry." He apologized. "You're sorry? You're not going to say something arrogant? What's this about?" She asked noticing his bad mood. "I need to take a few hours off. I'll be back soon I promise." He replied, hoping she won't force him to stay back. He doesn't want to show himself at the police station, now his sister got into trouble. "Where are you going? At least give me a good reason why I should let you go." Raina inquired. "I need to... I need to see my sister. She got arrested." Jasper told her the truth. "Do you need help? I can call whoever is in charge and your sister will be released." She offered. "Thank you Miss Williams, but I'll rather sort this out myself.
"I can't face him. He is the reason why I have PTSD. I hate him, and I don't want him to do what he did to me before." Raina said in a low voice. Jasper felt sorry for her. The once arrogant Raina has shown her true colors. She is really afraid of her ex boyfriend to the extent of developing PTSD. "I told you I can help you overcome your fear. If only you are willing to listen to me. Be the change you need for yourself." He urged her. "How can you help him? The only way you can keep it away is by wiping him off the face of the earth. As long as he's still alive, I won't be at peace." She argued with him. "You don't have to argue with him, just do as I say if you want all that fear to go away." Raina didn't feel embarrassed talking about her problem with Jasper anymore. But it also seems he knows about Richard already, she recalled he talked about Richard the night she got drunk and the night she also went out with him. "Carly told you about Richard right?" She asked him. He nod
"What did you say?" She asked him in shock. He gave a nervous laugh. "Okay you don't have to take me seriously. I was just saying things out of my head. Must be the influence of alcohol."She did not believe him but decide to let it slide. She asked him another question again. "What do you think about having a girlfriend?""I don't know. I haven't found the one that can be in that position. Also I don't think the person I love would accept me. She doesn't like me." He replied sincerely. "Well that must be because you are a jerk. I can relate with whoever that is." He laughed, "I'm not that bad, I just haven't found the right person like I said before. Why not believe me?"She shrugged, "Why don't you convince me. There's nothing to lose." He moved his eyes to her lips, "You really want me to convince you? Are you sure of that?""Yes, convince me you're someone who can be a great boyfriend." She dared him. He moved his hands to her hair stroking it gently, she also stopped movin
Richard felt humiliated that Raina kissed another man in front of him. He wanted to know who this man is at all costs. He didn't say much today, he just stood beside Raina like a bodyguard. What if that's what he really is? A bodyguard?"Daniel, I need you to find out who that man is." Richard said to Daniel who is working in the office. ."What man? You didn't tell me about any man." He asked in surprise. "The one who is always following Raina around. First I want you to find out who he is, then I want you to find out his relationship with Raina." "Yes Richard, but then do you think he's relevant. We could just get rid of him." Richard shook his head, "No he's not, yet he has some sort of effect on Raina. She didn't break down like the last time because of him. He was encouraging her to move on." "Oh, I just got the information. It says here that he is the boss's bodyguard and driver. That's what our source at the corporation." Daniel informed him. Richard banged his table in an
The next day was great for Jasper as he didn't have to worry about arguing with Raina every time. She has really changed and become nice, most especially to him. They talked a lot, Raina got fond of him that she always asked him to stay in his office.Raina had asked him to go talk on another of her Spanish clients since he was so good with the language. She never expected to see Richard at the office, it seems Richard took the opportunity that Jasper went out to come there. At least no one would stop him from talking to her now."What do you think you're doing here Richard? Didn't I make myself clear that I didn't want to see you unless it's for business? And how dare you barge into my office just like that?" Raina yelled, though she's afraid she didn't show it. She tried to act strong and not let the fear get the best of her. She wished she had not sent Jasper away earlier.Richard sat down on the chair with his legs crossed. "I actually came to give you a good information, I also w
Miranda made the coffee and took it to Jasper's room where he still laid on the bed staring long at the ceiling. There was no need to ask much questions as she already guessed what could be wrong with him."Hey sweetie, I made you some coffee would you like to try it out? I don't know what is happening to you but this will definitely make you feel better." She offered.Jasper took the coffee cup from her, seeing how worried she is even though he is not interested in any food or drink now. He can't get Raina out of his mind or get mad at her at all. Instead, his heart wanted him to go closer to her. Miranda felt bad seeing Jasper in this state. He looks tired and miserable sadly, that completely broke her heart as a mother."So, are you ready to tell me what is going on or should I wait?" She inquired from him.Jasper sighed softly, he would have preferred if his mother knew nothing about it. He and his sister are benton protecting her best interests. Miranda is a sort of weak and emot
Kylie refused to come out of her room the following day because Jasper did not come home. it's now that she's beginning to see his seriousness about not wanting the relationship anymore she wanted to use this fake dating as a medium to get close to him. she felt like crying now that he's thinking about going back to his ex girlfriend. "Kylie come out please, we need to talk to you." Selina called banging on her door. "Go away, I don't want to talk to anyone. Just respect my fucking decision and leave me alone!" She yelled at them. Selina gasped at the rate at which Kylie yelled at her. She's never really seem her daughter that angry before which makes her wonder what got her into such a state. Her mind drifted to Jasper who didn't return home last night, she thought he must have something to do with it. They always suspected Kylie feels something for him but they didn't say anything since they were living okay. "Darling please, whatever it is, we're going to sort it out. I promise
There's shock and excitement written all over their faces. They can't comprehend how she even thought of pranking them when she just woke up from a deep sleep. She was injured and everyone got worried, yet she woke up to make them feel more anxious. "You remember me? Do you really know me?" Kelvin asked to be sure. "Of course I remember you darling, it's evening already. I know we had sex this morning." She replied bluntly. Jasper coughed and looked away, Kelvin almost choked on his breath when she said that. She obviously wants to send them to their early graves. How could she talk about that sort of thing in front of other people knowing how embarrassing it is?"You little! You're supposed to be embarrassed you naughty girl! How can you talk about such a thing in front of people? Gosh!" Kelvin scolded her. "What? Ate you mad at me because I wanted you to confirm that I did remember you? What did I do wrong? You asked me a question and I gave you the best answer." She replied emo
Jasper cut Raina's statement off with a kiss. She froze as her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She never expected that at all, it's as if he wanted to give her a heart attack. She slowly closed her eyes to enjoy the moment while it lasted. The last time she kissed him, she didn't get any reaction. But now he's doing it himself, she has missed this a lot. Her hands went up to his chest, he pulled her closer to him and tightened his grip around her waist. Their tongues moved in sync, their bodies heated up and they both had the same reaction. They wanted more of each other though it's impossible because of what he said. That's when Raina pulled away, she had lost control of herself for a moment and cheated on Kylie. Jasper realized what he had done, he has been unable to keep his feelings to himself. He actually wanted to do this since he saw her again. Being too close to him made him unable to stop himself from doing something stupid. "I'm so sorry, I didn't.. I don't know what
Raina broke down crying. This is the first time in such a long while that she's going to see Carly in this state. The last time this happened, Carly almost got killed because she pushed Raina from getting run over by a car and the car ran her over instead. She cried not too much but her heart was rising and falling, she found it hard to breathe. She suddenly hit the wall in anger. "Raina? Are you okay?" Jasper asked worried about her. She turned to Jasper and pushed him. Jasper staggered back and stared at her. It's as if she has suddenly gone crazy. Then he understood what is going on with her. "RAINA!!" He yelled her name so she could snap out of it but she didn't hear. He was afraid, this is worse than any of her attacks he's seen. He pulled her close and hugged her tight, in a way that she could not pull away from him. "Raina, it's okay. She's going to be alright, I promise you. Just relax, calm down. Please..." He whispered to her ears. She calmed down a bit and looked up a
Kylie and Jasper stopped in front of the small restaurant where they're supposed to have lunch. Kylie noticed how his mood changed on seeing Raina. She had invited him to lunch and forced him to go also, she never thought they'd run into Raina. "If I knew we were going to run into her, I won't have invited you to lunch. Look at how your mood changed." She said pulling a seat for herself. Jasper would pull the seat for her if he wasn't upset, now he just sat down without pulling the chair for her. "I'm not upset Kylie, stop saying that." He replied bluntly. "Oh, I see. Are you wondering why she was begging for your attention just yesterday and today she's already flirting with another man? You shouldn't wonder, she's a slut, that's why she's out there with another man." Kylie said. He banged the table, "That's enough Kylie! What did I tell you about insulting people? She's everything than a slut and a thief. She's not someone who hooks up with more men than usual. She's free to do
Raina stayed at home like Jasper advised, Carly went out with Kelvin in her place. Raina supervised the work from home, she felt bored after a few hours. Carly and Kelvin are not going to be back until evening and that means she's going to stay at home all alone. She then planned to tour the village while she's at it, she quickly dressed up preparing to go out. On her way out of the house, she met with Elena who came with a group of girls to fight with her. "This is the bitch? She's not even pretty." One of Elena's friends said. "Yeah, this is the bitch who thinks she owns the whole world and she can chase us out of our homes." Elena replied eying Raina. Raina looked around and saw that there's no one around. Her bodyguards must have gone out and they're not around the area. They are four in number and she felt too weak to take them them on. "What do you want from me? I've not done anything wrong, why are you bothering me?" She asked though she knows why they're here. At least th
The next morning, Kelvin woke up and went to his room to use the bathroom. He saw that Carly was still asleep, he gently picked his towel and went into the bathroom. Carly opened her eyes and heard the shower running, she knows it was Kelvin. She remembers what happened last night and how he's still mad at her, she sighed in frustration. His phone started to ring, she didn't pick it up. After two rings, he came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around his waist and water dripping from his hair. His features were shining, the water made him look sexy. He wasn't paying attention to the drooling Carly as he rushed to pick up the phone. It was the site supervisor. "Yes... I'll be there in two hours to check it out. Keep me updated on whatever happens... Okay." He conversed with the caller then hung up. "Kelvin..." Carly called standing up. "Can I help?" He asked coldly. "Come on, you're not going to stay mad at me forever right? I already apologized to you. You're taking this too
Jasper cleared his throat. His game with Raina is coming to an end after all. Now he has to face her and tell her what he really wants to do, and to stop making her look like an idiot. "Excuse us Kylie." He told Kylie who's annoyed he asked her to leave."Why do I need to leave? I'm your girlfriend and I deserve to know what is going on here. Don't I?" Kylie protested."Well miss girlfriend... Your attention is not needed here. This is not where kids talk and you should really disappear, let the adults talk. Scram kiddo." Carly replied savagely. Kylie frowned, "Don't call me a kid! I'm fucking over nineteen already!" "I'm over twenty five! You're still a kid so get lost." "Kylie please, just wait for me over there. I'll be there in a few minutes. I need to talk to them, alone." Jasper pleaded with her. "Fine, but you have to be fast about it Paul, I can't wait for too long." Kylie stomped away glaring at them. Carly mocked her, "Yeah, leave kiddo. What an annoying element, it's
"Tell me we're not going through this again?" He sighed. "Do I sound stupid for asking you that? Can you blame me for caring about you more than my stupid self? You claim not to love that woman or want anything to do with her yet you keep running to her whenever you get the chance." She lamented sadly. Jasper shook his head, "I told you to give up on this. I am not rejecting you but telling you the truth. I still love her even if I don't want to be with her. Just stop hurting yourself by thinking about her. Get back to work Kylie." She scoffed, "I know you do. I am willing to help you forget her if you just give me the chance and open up your heart. Think about the proposal I gave you the other time?""Proposal? What proposal?" Jasper asked getting more clueless. She laughed, "What? You don't remember me asking you to fake date me so you can keep her away? Don't you think you need that right now?" "I don't want to hurt your feelings Kylie. Don't push it." He replied still not int
