✧ADAM MEADOWS✧

AS I drove towards the M-Power Hotel, my mind raced with worry. Jazz hadn't answered any of my calls, and I couldn't track her using the app on her phone. It had been a week since we last spoke, when she and Uncle Win visited my penthouse. Since then, I hadn't found time to check on her or visit our apartment to see if she was okay, as I was consumed with work alongside Rogel.

What kind of babysitter was I?

Just as I neared the hotel, my phone buzzed with a message from Uncle Win. He invited me to dinner at his house later. I didn't need to ask why; I remembered what day it was. Aunt Cassandra's birthday.

I sighed, torn between duty and affection. Aunt Cassandra, my late father's sister, was my only close family left, and I couldn't decline his invitation. But first, I had to find Jazz.

I replied to Uncle Win, confirming I'd attend dinner but emphasizing finding Jazz was my priority. Lowering my phone, I resumed driving.

As I approached the hotel, my heart skipped a bea

    ✧ADAM MEADOWS✧"Hi, Auntie," I greeted her as she opened the door for me. I carried a somewhat large shopping bag with a signature brand logo. A slight smile played on my lips. I had promised her last night that I would send a gift today, but after Jazz mentioned the vault and the photo album, I felt compelled to investigate for myself. Uncle Win wasn't home; he was at the company. Only Auntie Cass was there."Hello, Adam!" Aunt Cassandra responded warmly, her eyes lighting up upon seeing me. "Come in, come in."I stepped inside, feeling a mix of determination and anxiety. Despite appreciating Auntie Cass's hospitality, I couldn't shake the urgency of uncovering the truth behind those photos. But for now, I needed to distract her because she didn't know my real purpose for coming today."Here's my gift." I handed her the shopping bag as we settled into the living area."Goodness, Adam..." She seemed lost in admiration as she examined every detail of the bag. It was a signature ladies'

    ✧ADAM MEADOWS✧I couldn’t let my parents' true killers escape justice, but I had to be smart about it now. I needed Jake's testimony to bring the mastermind down. But first, I had to ensure Jake and his family were safe from any further harm. After they had dinner, I safely drove them home. I only dropped off Jake and his wife since their child took a taxi alone back to their apartment, which worked in my favor so they wouldn't recognize me.After ensuring they were safely home and parking the car in their mansion's spacious garage, I excused myself. I called my secretary, Ezra, to pick me up. Rogel was busy dealing with the changes in our plans, as he needed to manage my other men and the vacant warehouse where we were supposed to take Jake's family.Taking a deep breath, I knew what I had to do next. Even though it was late at night, I had Ezra drive me to Uncle Win's house. On the way, I sent Uncle Win a text to inform him that I was coming over because the plan had changed.☆゚⁠.⁠*

    ✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿When Adam said he was heading back to his apartment, I felt a surge of excitement. I imagined us spending time together, talking, and maybe even annoying each other. But when he added that he needed me in bed, my heart sank with disappointment. I couldn’t pinpoint why I felt this way; after all, I knew from the beginning that this was our arrangement. I was just a bed warmer to him, his powerless sex slave.I stepped out of my room, wearing my light pink floral pajama. I went to the kitchen, grabbed a beer from the refrigerator that belonged to Dad, and then stepped outside. I positioned myself on the porch and, before sitting down on the rocking chair, deliberately turned off the porch light so Adam wouldn’t see me when he arrived. The only light came from the solar lamp on the fence, casting a soft, dim glow that barely reached me. It was almost time for Adam to get home, and my emotions were a tangled mess of anticipation and dread.'Would Adam agree if I refuse? Wou

    ✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿When I opened my eyes, Adam was no longer beside me. I wasn’t sure how long I had dozed off, but I knew we had been lying next to each other earlier. After what happened between us, I hadn't gotten up from his bed. We had stayed there, curled up together in each other’s arms. He had told me to rest and said he’d move later because he knew I was tired. I agreed and fell asleep in his arms. But now, he was gone from the room.Where could he be?I sat up, feeling the lingering warmth of where Adam had been lying next to me. I glanced around the room, my eyes lingering on the door. Maybe he was just outside, doing something important. I threw off the covers and got out of bed, feeling the coolness of the wooden floor beneath my feet. I quickly grabbed the robe hanging on the chair and slipped it on. Taking a deep breath, I walked to the door and slowly opened it, peeking into the hallway."Adam?" I called out softly, but there was no answer.I stepped into the hallway and

    ✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿We sat silently in the living room. Mom and Dad were seated together, while Adam sat beside me. Across from us were my parents, with Mom staring intently at Adam, as if she were reading his entire being, her arms crossed. Dad, on the other hand, was slightly hunched over, his elbows resting on his thighs, occasionally letting out a sigh.The silence was thick and uncomfortable. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, each beat echoing loudly in my ears. Adam sat next to me, calm and composed, his face betraying none of the anxiety I felt. He seemed to be waiting for the inevitable interrogation to begin.“Boyfriend?” Mom asked, turning her gaze to me, still in disbelief, her eyebrow slightly raised. “Since when?”I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of their scrutiny. I knew I was the only one who could explain since Adam remained silent, clearly having no intention of helping me out. Maybe because he didn't know how to follow up on my earlier statement that he was

    ✿♡ JAZZLENE ♡✿ “What? Has your magical bra made its way back yet?” Leigh quipped as she slid into the bar counter beside me, just having arrived. I chuckled, shaking my head. “Nope, still MIA,” I said, giving my eyes a dramatic roll for effect. We’re the ones manning the bar now, while Violet is busy with housekeeping duties. And yes, they’re aware of last week’s little drama when I was caught at Adam’s apartment by Mom and Dad. Lately, they’ve noticed a new face picking me up whenever Dad isn’t around. They were curious about this person—someone Adam hired to chauffeur me to the hotel in Dad’s absence. This figure shadowed me closely, like a silent guardian, always lingering in the background, keeping a watchful eye without ever getting too close. Then, they started asking questions, and I had to tell them something, anything, to stop the interrogation. So, I spun the tale of a short-lived fling that ended because we weren't compatible. The truth about our arrangement was too risk

    ✧ADAM MEADOWS✧ In the past few days, I was still consumed by the need to figure out who was responsible for my family's death. Every waking moment, every thought was fixated on this single goal. I had to know who orchestrated the tragedy that tore my life apart. Determined to find answers, I went to the jail myself. The two men who had shot my family were locked up there, and I needed to confront them. As I walked through the cold, sterile corridors of the prison, my heart pounded with a mix of rage and anticipation. When I finally saw them, sitting behind the bars, my blood boiled. F*ck. I felt a deep and intense anger surge through me. My vision blurred for a moment, and all I wanted to do was pull out the gun behind me and blow their heads off right there and then. The image of their lifeless bodies, a small recompense for the pain they caused, flashed through my mind. But I held myself back. I couldn't finish them off yet because I still needed them. I needed them alive, at lea

    ✧ADAM MEADOWS✧THE anger surging through me was almost unbearable as Rogel drove us to Aunt Cassandra's house. I could feel it deep in my bones, my entire body trembling with rage. Right now, I felt like I could explode at any moment."Are you absolutely sure about this?" Rogel asked, his voice steady yet laced with concern. He's no longer working at the Crystal Empire; he resigned and now he's here with me. There's no need for him to stay there, especially now that we know who the real mastermind is.I nodded, my clenched fist tightening under my chin as my elbow rested against the car window beside me. "I've waited years for this, Rogel. Years of studying and preparing for my revenge. Damn it. If I had known the person behind my family's disappearance was within reach, I would have acted long ago."Rogel was silent, his eyes on the road, but I could feel his support and worry. He had been with me through every step of this journey, and he understood the weight of what I was about to

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
