“I'm glad nothing happened to you. You should be more careful in future.“I will, aunt.” Victoria put on a pair of indoor slippers and looked into the living room. She didn't see her children.“Where are Enzo and Lara, Auntie?”“They're asleep! “Valentina went into the kitchen and got Victoria a glass of water.“Have some water.“Thank you! “Victoria took the glass and took a small sip. The water helped calm her down a bit. “It's late. You should take a shower and go to bed.” That's what Victoria was thinking of doing too. She allowed the shock of the night to wash over her. “All right!” The shower was brief, taking about twenty minutes, and Victoria put on a new set of pajamas and went to her room.Her precious angels had curled up against each other and were sound asleep.Victoria walked on tiptoe towards them and gave them each a light kiss on the cheek, then slid into bed next to them, wrapped her arms around them gently and went to sleep.All she had now were her two preci
“Nothing is wrong. I know you've made an effort to take me to work.” Victoria softened her voice as she spoke. “But, you're my boss, and I can't have you driving me to work every day. It's not right. It would reflect badly on both of us if anyone else in the office found out. He wasn't expecting that, in fact, Jayric was expecting something serious. “Don't worry, I'm the boss, remember? I have the final say at JB. Besides, it's not out of the way for me.” He laughed. Wasn't it? Besides, him having the final say at JB had nothing to do with it.She had read the company rules and regulations, and office romances were forbidden.Victoria was speechless.“Come on, get in. We're going to be late! “Jayric said.Victoria stood there motionless. After a moment, she bit her lip and gave Jayric an apologetic smile. “It's all right, Jayric. I'll take the bus. It's a short trip. Victoria started marching towards the bus stop the next moment, and didn't give Jayric a chance to speak. Before J
“Assistant Maison, did President Carson say why he needs me in his office?” Victoria asked calmly. She shouldn't jump to conclusions so easily.“He didn't tell me why, so why don't you follow me upstairs, Ms. Lazer?” Maison smiled politely as the lie flowed from his lips. He looked at the young woman before him and thought privately to himself that there was no way he was telling her the truth. Honestly, Victoria was very beautiful, and that explained why Jackson had instructed him to draw up a contract last night that would make Victoria his mistress if she signed the papers.It was obvious that this would not be a common relationship between romantic partners, and Maison had no idea whether Victoria would agree to such a relationship. He was honestly worried about his boss. Couldn't the man woo the young woman as a man would a woman he was interested in? Why was he proposing an illicit relationship that exchanged sexual services for payment?It was impossible to read Jackson's m
“Please, Assistant Maison, let me speak to President Carson?” Ciara tightened her fingers around the folder. There was a touch of anger in his eyes, after all, he was just an assistant. What did he think he was doing?How could he stop Ciara from handing the folder to Jackson personally?“I'm going to speak for the last time, Ms. Ciara, please be professional. President Carson is waiting and he won't be happy if he has to keep waiting any longer. “Maison spoke sternly. The hint of menace in her voice was clear, and if Ciara carried on like this, Jackson would lose his temper and get angry.She would have to suffer his anger then too, and Ciara knew when to make a strategic withdrawal, after all, Jackson's temper was notorious.Everyone in town knew how terrifying he could be when he was mad, and she was a tiny ant compared to Jackson. In fact, the Lazer's were small compared to Jackson, and he couldn't care less about them.Ciara weighed up the pros and cons and finally handed the f
He wouldn't have insulted her with such a contract if he harbored the slightest love for her. He wouldn't have offered to pay her to be his mistress.The mere thought of such an idea infuriated Victoria.“I've read the contract, President Carson. I'm not interested. “ said Victoria as she tried to keep her temper under control. She took another step towards the table, put down the contract and slid it back to Jackson“If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work, as I have some business to attend to.Victoria was ready to turn and leave the office now, but before she could do so, Jackson's arm shot out. He grabbed her by the wrist and stopped her from taking another step away from him. The next moment, he was pulling her towards him and into his arms. The force of his pull knocked Victoria off her feet, and she fell right into Jackson's lap. For a moment, they looked like a couple in an intimate embrace, their limbs entangled with each other's. A blush instantly unfolded on Vict
“I just want sex, what does that have to do with love?” Jackson raised an eyebrow. The realization dawned on Victoria then. He was looking for a good time in bed, not a girlfriend or a partner. Well, right now, he's got the wrong person. “I'm sorry, President Carson, but I'm not interested in casual relationships.” Victoria took a deep breath and raised her chin proudly, for the first time in her life, she wasn't worried about upsetting Jackson or incurring his wrath. Her rejection was direct and definitive. The young woman turned on her heel and marched out of the room.He might get Jayric to fire her, but she didn't care anymore. She could always look for another job, and honestly, she would like to keep her job at JB, but there was a line that shouldn't be crossed.She would stick to her principles even if they drove her out of the company. Jackson stared at the closed door for a long time after Victoria left. Her eyes shone darkly. “Victoria Lazer, what an interesting woman
Jayric left the office and went straight to Victoria. “Victoria, we need to talk.”“Is something wrong, Jayric?” Victoria asked.“No, what I mean is...it's the middle of the day. We're at work. Your suitors are free to send gifts, but it would be great if they toned down the elaborate gestures, as it could reflect badly on the company. “Jayric spoke gently. No one would be able to discern the hidden meaning behind Jayric's words, and Victoria had no idea what Jayric was really trying to say at first.She thought he was scolding her for causing a commotion in the office, and her pretty face fell. “I'm sorry, Jayric. There must have been some kind of misunderstanding. Mr. Lazaro and I don't know each other personally. I promise this won't happen again. I won't do anything to damage the company's reputation.” Deep apologies flowed from Victoria's lips, and Jayric's heart fell back into his chest. So she didn't know Lazaro personally. From the looks of it, Victoria wasn't interested
“Really? Is the design ready?” Soraya really loved Victoria, and the sound of the young woman's voice filled her with joy. The old lady hugged her pet dog tightly. “Why don't you come to my house now? I'm home.” “Sure, I'm on my way then!” Victoria ended the call and started tidying up her desk, after which she told Jayric where she was going and got his permission to leave the office. She ran down the stairs. She would have to take the subway to get to Soraya Carson's house, but as soon as she appeared in the lobby, the guards called Maison and informed her that Victoria was leaving the building. Maison told Jackson, who simply hummed when he heard what Maison told him. He then told Maison to leave the room.He picked up the phone on his desk and called Jayric, but he wasn't going to simply ask Jayric where Victoria had gone, in fact, he was going to tell Jayric that Victoria was now responsible for designing a wedding dress for Mattew's cousin.Jayric told him that Victoria h
Jackson thought she was cute as she sat there saying nothing, and her hair was messy and she wore no make-up or fancy clothes, so he had a bit of fun.Did she think he'd get tired of her?“Your messy hair makes me feel like you're doing it on purpose!” He said affectionately and Victoria could feel the air he exhaled making her a little nervous.“That's how I stay at home. I can't do anything if you don't like me like this.”“Do you want me to kiss you?” He smiled, touched her lips softly and whispered, making Victoria blush.She thought: “It's going to happen anyway. I know it can't be good when he asks to meet me at night.”“Jackson, our relationship has just begun. Can we wait... and do it... later?” She bit her lips, trembling.“Do what?” Jackson looked at her, and probably knew what she was thinking.she was thinking.In truth, he wasn't tha
Looking at him walk away, Victoria thought that their relationship wasn't exactly normal, and she didn't mind.She wasn't planning on staying with him forever anyway, and when he got tired of it, she'd be able to get rid of him and wouldn't have to worry about him taking her babies away.She then turned towards the house and went in to see the babies, and it was about half past seven and already dark.Noemia was at a business dinner with her parents, and wouldn'tbe home before 10.Noemia sent a message to Victoria telling her not to wait up and that she had found someone to help with the paternity test, and Victoria was relieved.Lara was in her arms and they were watching TV together. After a while, her phone started buzzing, and Victoria didn't notice it at first.“Mom... cell phone...” Enzo heard the buzzing and went to pick up the phone, pointing at the screen.Victoria understood him, a
“Come on. I'll take you for a meal!” Jackson said. However, just as he was about to walk her to her car, Victoria pulled her hand away.“Let me change first, if it's not going to be inappropriate for me to eat out like this.”It seemed that Victoria had been dressing like this for the last few days, and it would certainly be inappropriate for her to eat in a restaurant while she was dressed like this.“All right, I'll wait for you!” Jackson replied, and Victoria nodded and went back to her mansion.It didn't take long for Victoria to put on her best outfit, however, she was hesitating over whether or not she wanted to put make-up on, and in the end, decided against it.She wasn't really dating him anyway, so why should she put so much effort into dressing up for him? What if he really got tired of her one day when he had to look at how dull she looked every day?Victoria decided never to put make-up on for him again, and that way, he would get bored with her very quickly and she would
His voice seemingly melted Jackson's frozen heart as he reached out to gently pat the children's heads before carrying them to the carpet and starting to play with them.As Enzo was a boy, it wasn't long before he was Jackson's best friend while playing with them. What's more, he was quite aggressive while playing with Jackson.He actually climbed on his back and started pulling his short hair, and Victoria was shocked when she realized how aggressive he was while Enzo was playing with Jackson.That's because she knew what kind of person Jackson was.Who would dare pull his hair like that?“Don't pull his hair or he'll get mad!” Victoria was worried that Jackson might be angry, so she immediately ran to hug Enzo while nervously teaching him.After being lectured by his mother, Enzo put his head down and didn't dare make a sound, and Jackson noticed this and thought that Victoria shouldn't have acted like that,because it
“Noemia, can you do me a favor?” Victoria turned to Noemia, who was still leaning against the door.“What do you need?” Noemia asked.“Jackson wants to do another DNA authentication test. Can youhelp me find two people to act as my cousin and her husband? They have to be someone trustworthy, as they need to be able to withstand Jackson's questioning.”“I can help you look for people, but how do you intend to do that?” Noemia frowned.“They just have to refuse his request, and make him believe that they are the children's biological parents.” Victoria reasoned.“Are you sure that would work? After all, Jackson isn't naïve and will fall for it easily.” Noemia said after considering it for a while.“I'm not sure either, but I don't have any better ideas!” Victoria sighed. Previously, she had used fake hair to manipulate the test results, but this time, they wouldn't use that trick again, and Jackson wouldn't fall for it.Noemia looked at Victoria's troubled expression, and reached out
After Ciara left, Victoria looked solemnly at the entrance to the mansion. So this party was prepared for Jackson. Victoria hoped that the Carson's would find him a girlfriend soon, in the hope that she could be freed, and the feeling that went through Victoria's mind was just a sigh of relief, and there was no sign of jealousy or dismay.She continued to wait for the man under the shadow. After about five minutes, Jackson came out of the gate, looking relaxed, and Victoria gave him a quick glance and looked away soon after. “Shall we? I'm taking you home!” Jackson walked up to her and said.Victoria pursed her lips. She wanted to reject the offer, but she felt it would be redundant to say anything, so she obediently got into her car.In the car, Victoria could smell a faint odor of alcohol coming from the man. Perhaps he had been drinking with one of the select women the Carsons had arranged for him?Victoria leaned against the car door as her mind wondered, and she was so absorb
“All right, then I'll go out and talk to him!” Carla Alvinegro said. Although she was older than Jackson, she had to go out and see him considering the Carson's wealth and status in the city.As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Jackson standing there, not intending to move. “Jackson, why don't you come in and join my party?” Carla Alvenegro immediately approached and smiled as she said.“I appreciate the invitation, but I'll pass it on!” Jackson smiled politely. “Actually, the reason I'm calling you is because I want you to stop organizing these kinds of parties in the future. I have no interest!” “But, Jackson, it was your mother who asked me to organize this party!” Carla Alvenegro was taken aback and didn't know how to respond, and Jackson naturally knew that it was his mother's idea. “I'll tell her about it!” He paused before continuing. “I'm leaving, now! Good afternoon, Mrs. Alvinegro!” Carla Alvenegro realized that she really was leaving and immediately became anxious.
“I get that, Jackson!” Victoria replied deeply.Since he was able to find her no matter where she went, she decided to agree to his request. One day, when he got tired of her, he could finally leave her alone and stop asking about Enzo and Lara.Victoria suddenly felt that it wouldn't hurt to date him because of Enzo and Lara, as she wanted to avoid being harassed by Jackson and his family in the future.She felt that it would make things easier for her in the future if she dated him now.After making up her mind, Victoria felt that it was okay to be friends with Jackson. After all, they had slept together before and it wasn't as if she was a virgin.“Are you going to try something funny this time and hide from me?” Jackson looked at her deeply.“Considering how powerful you are, how can I hide?” Victoria shook her head as she said helplessly, because even if she tried, he hadn't found her address? “Good girl!” Jackson nodded, and raised his hand to check the time. “I've still got so
More than 50 young women came to the party with the hope of marrying him, and Ciara also wanted to marry Jackson, so she had to do her best to impress Mrs. Alvenegro.*Inside the bathroom, Victoria felt soft and was on the verge of tears after Jackson kissed her forcefully. He seemed angry about her dismissal and blacklisting him on the phone, so he continued kissing her hard.She was almost out of breath, but it didn't end there. Victoria was petrified when she heard footsteps outside the bathroom, and Jackson was completely calm and unconcerned about people coming in.After the person outside the door left, Jackson carried Victoria out of the bathroom.He carried her up to a bedroom on the second floor and locked the door behind them.As this property belonged to the Carson Group, it was as good as his house, and he wasn't afraid and could do anything he thought best, but Victoria was terrified. Jackson refused to let her leave the room and even pinned her down on the big soft be
