Jasper got back from dropping Jessa off, he felt so mad that Raina asked him to drop that woman off. She didn't stop talking to him throughout, she kept asking weird and uncomfortable questions. She is such a blunt woman that is not afraid of hiding her feelings, that makes him more worried. She is not his type of woman.

"President Raina wants your attention at the office." Kelvin said glaring at him.

Jasper rolled his eyes. He is already used to Kelvin's hate by now. He walked to Raina's office, she didn't acknowledge his presence as usual. He has to clear his throat for her to look up, even though she is aware that he is in the office.

"Did you drop her at home?" She asked facing her table.

"Yes Miss Williams." He replied bluntly.

Raina waited for him to say something else, he did not say anything. She was a bit curious to know what they talked about. She has been restless since she asked him to drop Jessa off. Jasper is angry, but he decided to keep his anger to himself.

    "I am not aware Miss Williams said that. She's right though, my privacy is important." Jasper replied. Jessa nodded in understanding, "I understand, now please put it here."She stretched her phone towards him, he collected it and dialled his number. He gave the phone back to her, she has a satisfactory smile on her face. Jasper sighed in frustration, he knows he just added to his list of headaches. "I'll be going now. I'm going to call you later." Jessa said. "Yes, later Jessa." He said happy she is leaving. Jessa unexpectedly kissed his cheek before walking away. Jasper is shocked that this woman can be so straightforward and fearless. He looked around hoping no one saw that. Raina came down thirty minutes later, she doesn't have a smile on her face like always. Jasper is getting used to seeing this grumpy side of her, if she smiled on day then he would probably disappear fast. "Where are we going to now?" He asked her before starting the car. "Take me to the company, where el

    Jasper stared at her in shock, she's taking this too personal. He wondered what Kelvin told her for her to be this angry. It can't possibly be because he went out for lunch. "You should calm down, yelling like this can raise your blood pressure. I am giving you an honest opinion. You should ask your doctor." He advised her. She walked straight to him, okay this is scary. She's going to kill him if he doesn't say anything. He stopped her from taking another step, sadly he doesn't raise his hand on girls. She might do something to him and he won't be able to do anything to her. "I went out with Miss Turner, you don't have to be so scary." He said. She frowned deeply, "I can't believe the nerves of that woman! She just had to come back just to have lunch with you. You should stop going out with her.""Huh? I don't understand. Why am I not allowed to go out with her? I am not a child and I know what I want. I'm supposed to make that decision for myself." He protested. "As long as you

    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

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

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    "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
