Jasmine's POV

With a blindfold over my face and after several attempts to get him to spill the beans about where we are going, the car comes to an abrupt stop.

From the screeching sound, I can tell it is on sandy ground. It pricks my hibernating curiosity and I turn around unable to see anything.

Finally, I felt his touch after hearing the sound of the car door opening. He places his hand on my back and another on my lap. Then he helps me out of the car without a word.

Where are we? What is happening? What surprise awaits me here?

I can't help but wonder, managing to hide away the fear gnawing at my heart as I push down the choking tide of panic building.

Unable to hold it back any longer, I voice out barely in a whisper. "Where are we, Xavier?"

He hushes me up as he helps me take slow steps on the sandy ground towards somewhere. The cool air hits my face as soon as we come to a stop.

I am tempted to pull off the tight blindfold and look around. As if hearing my thought, he holds my

    CHICAGO Jasmine's POV His eyes are blue and stormy. Ocean blue eyes, just like the eyes of the men I see on TV and drool over. But his look is dark. I can barely figure out the color of his eyes until I look closer. Everything else about him looks dark. His cardigan also has a dark hood. The look is also icy and I find myself shivering in fear when I first spotted him. I notice he has been watching my every move from the kitchen cabinet to the counter where the food is been ordered from. I work in a local restaurant, not as a cook but as a cleaner. My job is to clean the kitchen and wash the plates from 8 am when the restaurant opens till 6 pm when my colleagues come to take over. I have been looking for another job for over a month now because of the kind of men who come here to ogle me and the rest of the female workers. I haven't gotten any positive feedback yet and I am on the verge of giving up. I wish I dare to tell my boss that I am not working again and then go home t

Andre doesn't have white hair, she is red-haired.Where the hell did she get this hair color from?She is still struggling to cover her hair with the wig when I stopped her. My hand firmly on her, locking her to the bed while I sit above her, my brows creased in wonderment.Is this part of her trick to get me off the track? When I first saw her in Chicago, I knew instantly that she had changed her hair color. I thought she just dyed her red hair back to black and also her personality so I wouldn't recognize her but I did.But seeing that the black hair is nothing but a wig and that the real hair is white is making me more puzzled.I know Andre can go to any length to get what she wants.

I expect to see fear and surrender in her eyes but instead, her eyes are deeply disturbing, leaving me with only one option left to clear up this misunderstanding.Her hair.That confusing stupid white hair."Andre?" Mr Moore calls out from behind his wife leaving me with no choice but to turn away from the lying bitch.Mrs. Moore also turns back to her husband and runs into his arms as she tearfully blurts out. "My child, Nicholas. My child is here.""Andre?" Mr. Moore's eyes do not leave hers as I observe a flash of disapproval and doubt in his bright eyes. My eyes fly to Andre's. Her lips are trembling and her eyes are teary. She isn't rushing to embrace the life out of her father like I am thinking she would do when she sees him.Is this because she is still mad at him for forcing her to walk down the aisles with me?

    Xavier's POV Throbbing with a wild, raw, and primal feeling inside me, my tongue slides deep between her parted lips.From the moment she stepped into the restaurant, all I could see was her and all I could feel was pure admiration. She looked so beautiful and elegant in that black long dress that I could barely hold myself back from touching her.The sparkle in her eyes and the smile on her face didn't help in quenching my desire. The thought of being more intimate with each other intensified the heated lust already raging inside of me, filling me with wild and crazy imaginations of what I would do to her.The car comes to a stop and I flutter my eyes open, my hands on her back and my lips still on her.I couldn't resist not touching her as soon as we got into the car.

I gasps slowly before taking it from him without any question.I'm sure this is from Xavier.With that in mind, I begin to feel teary. Bowing down, he sways his right hand towards a direction which I assume is where Xavier is.
