✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿I knew exactly what I was getting into. I also understood the nature of my arrangement with Adam: 'fuck buddies.' It’s a purely physical relationship, with no emotions involved.But this morning, when I woke up naked and alone in my room, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. I didn’t even catch a glimpse of him in the house. He didn’t leave a text or a note to let me know he had left or gone back to his apartment. I don’t even know what time he slipped away.I reached for my cell phone and started typing a message to him, asking where he was. But just as I was about to send it, I paused. 'Who am I to ask?'I put my phone down and sighed as I slid out of bed. I had a bit of trouble walking to the bathroom because I could still feel the soreness between my legs, even though we only had two rounds last night. It was probably because he caught me off guard with his intensity.After a refreshing shower and changing into some comfortable home clothes, I left my room an
✧ADAM MEADOWS✧Jazzlene's words echoed in my mind as I stood before the mirror, adjusting my necktie, preparing for the alumni gala scheduled to start at seven p.m. It was already six-fifteen.‘A date? Really, huh?’I smirked to myself. I knew exactly why she had said that. She was trying to provoke me, having seen Lexi at my apartment earlier. Though she didn’t spell it out, I could read the jealousy on her face when she noticed another woman seated on my couch. Amusing.Lexi was the reason I left Jazzlene's place abruptly earlier, without a goodbye or even waking her up. My phone had awakened me with four missed calls and a text message from Lexi, announcing her imminent visit to my apartment. That compelled me to get up and leave in haste.[FLASHBACK]“Hi, babe.” She greeted me with a wide smile when I opened the door after two knocks.I didn’t respond immediately. I hadn’t intended to invite her in, but her early visit made me consider she might have something important to discuss
✧ ADAM MEADOWS ✧When I mentioned buying her a restaurant, I wasn’t joking. As we left the party and I drove home, I called my secretary, Ezra, to find a restaurant I could purchase that night. That's what sparked the argument between Jazz and me in the car.She couldn't believe I was serious about it, so she tried to dissuade me. Jazz insisted she didn't need a restaurant and preferred to eat at home instead. But even now, she's still sulking.Luckily, her parents bought her excuse when she asked for permission. She told them she had a stomach ache and said she would come home with me, so they were somewhat reassured."You know what? You're the kind of brother I'd curse if you were actually my sibling. You're worse than Kuya Zane," she said, her voice breathier than usual, and I couldn't help but react to the sound."What exactly bothers you? My brotherly behavior or pulling you away from that guy?" I asked, coldly. When she didn't respond, I continued, "It's in your best interest to
✧ADAM MEADOWS✧AFTER printing the documents, I returned to the living room where Jazz was patiently waiting for me. She sat quietly, eating. Earlier, she had taken the initiative to find something to eat in the fridge, mentioning she was hungry. Fortunately, I had leftover food from the restaurant that I had delivered earlier in the afternoon.Approaching her, I slammed the somewhat thick stack of papers on the table in front of her, clipped together with a paper clip."W-What's this?" She picked it up and glanced at the large title on the front page. SEX SLAVERY CONTRACT. Her mouth hung open, but upon seeing the title, she stopped chewing. Nervousness was evident on her face.I sat down on the couch opposite her and leaned back, watching her closely. "It's a contract.""H-Huh?" Her brow furrowed."It’s filled with unimaginable conditions. There are a total of fifty pages with ninety-nine clauses. But I know you'll probably be too lazy to read through all of that, so I’ll explain." I
✧ADAM MEADOWS✧She sank to the floor, so beautiful that it made my heart ache and stirred a reaction in me. However, it seemed her nerves compelled her to follow me immediately.I grabbed her by the hair and pulled it down until she was looking up at me. "If it's too much for you, give me a sign. Tap my thigh so that I would know."She nodded, so I finally released my hard member. I tugged her hair harder and ordered her to open her mouth. I slipped the head of my c0ck into her waiting mouth, slowly pushing deeper until I was buried all the way down her throat."Fuck." I groaned, my head falling back with my eyes closed. The sensation of her mouth enveloping me was so intense that a shiver ran through my entire body, and I nearly came right then and there.I opened my eyes and glanced back at Jazz. Her eyes were slightly watery from the size of what was in her mouth and the depth I had gone down her throat. It was clear she wasn't used to this. I also knew it was her first time doing
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿It's been two days since I last saw Adam because my parents are staying at home with me. During these two days, Dad has been the one picking me up and dropping me off at school. Nevertheless, I never forget to text Adam to update him on what's happening in my life. Not only because it was part of our agreement when he agreed to watch over me, but also because it's part of the contract I signed. I need to keep him updated on what I'm doing, who I'm with, where I am, whether I've eaten, what I ate, what happened at school, how I'm feeling, if I was on my period, etc. I have to inform him about everything.What frustrates me, though, is that when I ask him what he's doing or where he is, he often doesn't reply. I understand why; it's also part of the contract that I can't inquire about his activities or whereabouts.It feels incredibly unfair, doesn't it? I'm not allowed to question him, but if he texts me a question and I don't respond within five minutes, he becomes upse
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿The meeting ended swiftly. I opened my burner laptop and accessed the encrypted folder containing all the documents on my enemy's finances, business dealings—both legal and illegal—and upcoming contracts. This is why I succeed so quickly. I monitor their every move and prepare my attacks accordingly.One of my long-term goals is to destroy the Crystal Empire. I won't just ruin their business; I'll annihilate their entire lineage, just as they did to my family. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.My phone pinged with a message from Jazzlene. It was sent from her messenger, saying, "Adam, this is Leigh. Jazz is at the university clinic. Could you pick her up earlier? She fainted earlier and isn't being allowed to attend the rest of our classes to rest."Clinic? Fainted? Damn.I didn't waste any time. I dialed her number, and it was Leigh's voice I heard on the other end. "Hello?""What happened?""A woman confronted her earlier. We don't know what happened because the
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿Over the past month, I lost count of how many times Adam and I hooked up. I could probably count on my fingers and toes the number of rounds we'd had in various hotels he took me to. Yes, it was always in hotels. He avoided our home and his apartment, not wanting my parents to notice I was constantly moving around. Especially with CCTV cameras in front of our house and on posts near the gate that would catch me entering his apartment.I would sometimes visit to bring him dinner. But when he needed my body, he'd message me to meet him somewhere. Other times, after my afternoon classes, he'd pick me up and we'd go straight to a hotel.Sex with Adam was unlike anything I'd experienced before. Raw. Animalistic. Soul-crushing in the best possible way. It shattered all my preconceived notions of myself and turned me into something darker, more depraved. He'd call me sweetheart one moment and his slut the next.And I don't know why, but . . . I loved it.The remarkable thing
Special Chapter Six – Last PartA month later . . .✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿It has been a week since Adam and I got married. Our wedding wasn’t grand; it was a private ceremony, just as we both wanted for the tranquility of our lives. Only family and close friends were witnesses to our union, including his Uncle Win. Although Adam was initially hesitant to invite him, I insisted because, no matter what, he is still Adam’s biological father. After the wedding, Uncle Win returned to Canada.As for my friends, only Leigh couldn’t attend because her vacation leave wasn’t approved. But I understand, as she is new in her job in Australia. She promised to make it up to me once she returns.So far, everything has been going well. Even though the news of our marriage has made it to the media and the internet, the public still doesn’t know that I am Adam’s wife. He personally ensured that no media outlet could publish our pictures, especially mine. Additionally, all hotel employees who knew about us had
Special Chapter Five✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿"ARE you sure? Why? Is there a problem with the hotel?" Brianna asked with a note of concern when I mentioned my plan to resign. It was just a plan, not a certainty yet.I gave a faint smile. “No, no problem. Just, uh, personal issues,” I replied, hoping she wouldn’t press further. It seemed she noticed my reluctance to elaborate and didn’t pry any deeper.At lunch break, I received a message from Adam asking me to come to his office to join him for a meal since he was at the hotel. As usual, I made my way there discreetly. I pretended I had a task from Sir Mikko, since people here still didn’t know about our relationship.When I arrived at his office, I found him already settled on the sofa in the center of the room. He had also set up the food on the glass table where we always ate when I was here.“How’s my princess doing today?” he greeted me with a broad smile as he turned in my direction. Before I could get closer, he stood up from his seat an
Special Chapter Four ✧ADAM MEADOWS✧“Baby, what are you doing?” I asked Jazz as I lay on the kitchen counter, my hands tied with her bra, completely naked.Jazzlene was rummaging through the fridge, her bare feet making soft padding sounds against the cool kitchen tiles. She was focused, her eyes scanning the shelves with determination. She wore nothing below the waist, just the shirt that matched her pajamas, its hem barely covering her hips, with no panties since I had taken them off earlier in the bedroom.Jazzlene’s movements were swift but purposeful, clearly on a mission. I had no idea what she was looking for in the fridge. We had just started foreplay when she brought me here and declared she was in charge. I wasn’t sure what her plan was, but I was nervous with my hands tied.She shifted aside a carton of milk, then some leftover takeout containers, all the while muttering softly to herself. Finally, her eyes lit up as she spotted what she was looking for—a can of whipping c
Special Chapter Three✧ADAM MEADOWS✧I thought I’d finally have Jazz all to myself for an entire week once her parents headed off to Hawaii. But just as I was planning to take her back to my penthouse, her obnoxious older brother decided to show up, claiming his flight was delayed by a day. So now, here I am, stuck in their house.I’m sitting in the dining room, watching as Jazz prepares dinner. Zane and I are seated across from each other at the counter, locked in a silent standoff. His arms are crossed, and every so often, he shakes his head and lets out a low chuckle, like he’s trying to get under my skin.“Something amusing?” I shot him a glare, the tension between us palpable. We were never like this before Jazz and I started dating, but I get it—he still can’t fully accept me.I couldn’t help but recall the serious conversation we had last month after we shoved each other into their backyard pool.[FLASHBACK]Zane was leaning against the porch railing, his eyes narrowing as he lo
Special Chapter Two✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿THE CITY lights shimmered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Adam's penthouse bedroom, casting a gentle glow over the plush surroundings. The air was warm and heavy with the scent of passion as we lay intertwined on his bed, our bodies still humming with the echoes of our intimacy. Nestled in his arms, under the soft blanket, I felt an overwhelming sense of closeness and contentment."I'm embarrassed to go home tomorrow. Mom and Dad will definitely suspect something," I murmured. Earlier, I texted my mom saying I'd be late coming home because there was an event at the hotel and I had to work overtime. But after my first round with Adam tonight, he told me he couldn't let me go home just yet—he wanted to spend more time with me. So, I was forced to message my mom again, telling her I'd be staying overnight at the hotel. "You know how parents are—they have the weirdest sixth sense.""Then don't bother going home. Stay in my penthouse instead. I'll
Special Chapter One✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿"Crystal flower number two hundred thirty-one," I whispered softly, a smile forming as I admired the delicate crystal rose Adam handed me after I got into his car. He was waiting for me in the parking lot of M-Power Hotel, arriving slightly ahead of me to avoid being seen leaving together by the staff.“Do you want me to stop giving you flowers?” he asked, leaning in for a quick kiss, a playful smile on his lips.“No, not yet. Stop when we reach a thousand.” I giggled. Ever since he returned from Singapore, he's resumed his habit of giving me crystal flowers. The last count was two hundred ten before he left, and the collection has grown quite a bit since then.“So, where to now? Your place or mine?” he grinned at me.“Your place. Meadows Tower. I miss lounging in your penthouse,” I smiled back.“All right. Let’s go.”It's been a month since Adam officially started courting me after getting permission from Mom, Dad, and even Zane. Despite still holdi
Epilogue Five months later. ✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿“HAPPY anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.”That’s all I hear here at the banquet. Today is Mom and Dad’s 30th wedding anniversary, and the celebration is being held at M-Power Hotel. My brother, Zane, organized this surprise party for them and covered all the expenses himself. He didn’t ask me for a contribution since he earns more than me. However, he still doesn’t know I have the five million dollars Adam gave me.Speaking of Adam, it’s been twelve months since he started pursuing me. Exactly a year today, and it’s been five months since he left for Singapore.Yes, it’s been five months with no contact between us. Whenever I ask my brother about Adam, he can’t give me any answers because Adam’s friends haven’t replied to the group chat. Plus, all of Adam’s social media accounts are deactivated, so he can’t be reached through private messages either.The event continued until it was time for us to give our messages to our parents. I went first
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿“Why haven't you forgiven him yet if things are already fine between him and your parents?” Camille remarked.We were seated at a table, with Violet and I attending the university’s annual alumni charity gala—an event I had accompanied Mom and Dad to last year. This time, it was held at the M-Power Hotel. As official alumni now, we were also invited. The only one missing was Leigh, who’s currently in Australia for work. Despite the distance, we still manage to catch up through video calls whenever we all have time."How many months has he been trying to win you back?" Violet asked, taking a sip of her wine. I couldn't help but notice the men stealing glances at our table. In the past, it was me who drew their attention, but now it's Violet, especially since many here know she’s the daughter of the renowned businessman Jake Crystal. Several men had already approached our table, asking Violet to dance, but I turned them down on her behalf, remembering what Adam once said
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿"From Adam again?" my brother asked with a furrowed brow as he saw me in the living room, carefully arranging crystal flowers in a transparent glass vase."Yeah. That’s the thirtieth one the guard handed me this morning, one for each day. I think he won’t stop until we patch things up.""Are you two meeting in secret at the hotel? You’re both in for it if I find out."I sighed. "We’re not meeting, you paranoid. Adam rarely drops by the hotel. From what I’ve heard from Sir Mikko, he only visits twice a week. He’s more often at Meadows Group.""Good. Because if I find out you're entertaining that jerk, I’ll tie the two of you together."It’s been a month since I started working as a receptionist at M-Power Hotel. I knew Adam was serious when he said he'd give me the position I wanted, but I’m not the type to take advantage. So, I spoke to Sir Mikko and told him I’d apply for the receptionist role. Instead of backing out, I seized the opportunity so I wouldn’t have to stru
