✿♡ 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
✧ADAM MEADOWS✧"Hey, Adam!"Auntie Cass greeted me with a wide smile when I arrived at their house, even giving me a hug.They’re here in the Philippines now, which I only just found out. She called me earlier when Jazz and I were on our way to my penthouse. She asked me to come over, so instead of heading straight to the penthouse, I first dropped Jazz off at their house. However, I didn’t drop her right at their gate. I stopped at the third house before theirs to avoid her parents noticing."When did you arrive?" I asked. We were now in the living room, and I was taking in the entirety of their house."Two weeks ago. I couldn’t call you immediately because Uncle Win and I were busy sorting out our things. It was difficult to find a place here, but fortunately, your uncle knew someone who helped us speak with the owner."They’re staying in Villasis Park, one of the well-known exclusive subdivisions. It’s widely understood that not just anyone can get a unit here unless they know the
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿"That's very good, darling, so you won't have to travel too far," Mommy commented after I told them—while we were having lunch—that I had changed my mind about doing my internship at La Vienna Hotel.Actually, I wasn't the only one who changed my mind among our friends. Violet was the first to reconsider. She mentioned that it would be more convenient to apply for internship at M-Power Hotel because not only is it closer, but it's also gaining recognition lately due to several appearances in the news and online, especially since its opening last month. It has even been featured in a well-known magazine.That's not all. Our school dean has been recommending M-Power Hotel to us now when looking for internship placements, rather than La Vienna Hotel. It seems our school coordinator has struck a partnership with M-Power to accept students from our school, so we shouldn't have much difficulty, especially since they select their applicants."Does that mean all of your friends
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿"If you ever speak badly about her again, I swear, I'll make sure you suffer forever."I held Adam by the waist, standing behind him as he threatened Dom, who was now unable to stand, looking dazed from the two punches that had landed on his face. I didn't like what he said to me earlier, but I have to admit, I felt sorry for him now. That's why I held onto Adam tightly to keep him from reaching Dom again. Another punch might knock him out completely."Adam, let's go. Before any security or police arrive!" I tried to pull him towards his car, which was parked near the club. There were no security guards or bouncers outside at the moment, and I was grateful for that. Otherwise, Adam might get blamed instead of Dominic.Once we were both inside the car, I faced him with a frown. "Why did you have to hit Dom right away? You could have talked to him calmly!""Watch your tone, Jazz," he warned.Yes, it's also in our contract that I'm not allowed to raise my voice at him. But
✧ADAM MEADOWS✧For over a week, I diligently worked on the documents required for my application as a personal driver for Jake, the founder of Crystal Empire, who ordered the assassination of my family. I couldn't use my real name; he or they would recognize me immediately and shut me out. So, I became Allen Ruz, an identity I crafted meticulously. I created a backstory with an impeccable track record, ensuring no one could question my credentials. Even though I'm applying for just a driver position, having a good record is necessary because he is well-known in the industry.Applying to him under this alias was the first step in my plan to uncover the truth. I know the truth that he's behind the crime, and if I wanted to, I could end him anytime. But I need to carefully plan every move to bring him and his family down without putting myself at risk or being pursued by the law.I passed through an agency where I was interviewed before being sent to the mansion of the Crystal Family. Th
✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿LAST week marked the beginning of our internship at M-Power Hotel. Only Leigh, Violet, and I proceeded with our internship there, while Camille was strongly encouraged to pursue hers at La Vienna Hotel, especially since her parents had already arranged an apartment for her there.So far, our stay at M-Power has been generally good, albeit occasionally challenging. We also have some classmates who are doing their internship here, along with students from other blocks, so there's quite a few of us around.Our daily routine involves rotating through various departments. Sometimes we're in housekeeping, other times in banquets, the kitchen, bar, front desk, office, or restaurant, depending on where our manager assigns us.Most of the employees we interact with at M-Power are friendly. However, there are a few we've encountered who seem to act as if they own the hotel, despite being just employees like us. I was referring to Sasha, one of the receptionists at the front desk
