"Sorry, I mean my daughter. Well…" Raina stammered, slowly moving out of Jude's embrace, but he pressed her body into him again. "They are my siblings even though their mother is my enemy. Make them feel relaxed in here and do what you are good at," "What am I good at?" Raina furrowed her brows in confusion, looking away as she was too nervous to meet his eyes. "Gold digging. You are free to explore your hobby here" He nods his head, observing how she continuously chewed on her lips. "I'm not a gold-digger. If you hired professionals to investigate how I had lived in Lebanon, you would know I didn't engage in a luxurious lifestyle." Raina defended herself, tired of Jude referring to her as something she wasn't. Truly, Gerold had made all her financial needs accessible for her and the kids. She had tolerated everything he yearned for which included her not to work and was obedient until he began to show interest in her. They constantly argued about her sudden change, but Raina bl
Raina swabbed her face, sighing continually as she strolled around the enormous building to look for her kids. She had strolled everywhere in the section she was in, forgetting that Jude mentioned that the twins were in the other compartment with the guard. She decided to check on the things in the unit she was in, only to find out that she was in the adults' private space. She covered her mouth in bewilderment when she realized that the long things with different sizes and colours which were displayed, and resembled toys were actually for sexual pleasures. They were dildos and vibrators?!"Oh no! Am I seeing things because I was horny?'' She shut her eyes, shaking her head to wipe off what she thought was a mind trick. She slowly opened her eyes and staggered backward in fright to see that the vibrators were still there, glistening and tempting her to pick them. Raina pouted in disappointment at the fact that she couldn't pick one, even if it was just to rush into the restroom to
Jude kept stealing glances at Raina. He noticed how scared and skittish she became the moment he drove into his family's estate. He expected himself to be delighted by her vulnerability, but he found his soul loosened up to comfort her. Anytime he tried to open his mouth, he forcefully shut it until he finally drove into the main compound. Both mother and children paled at the sight of his family's home. As if they just arrived at a haunted house, "What's with you all?! Nobody will touch you without my permission. So…stop overreacting like you've seen a hunting ghost" he angrily hit his palm on the steering wheel. "Mummy, I did not tell you because you will be sad, but this place is bad. There is a woman that keeps saying bad words about you!" Noelle cried out. She stepped on the car seat, her hands quivering in fear. "You should have told us that we are coming here. No wonder you bought so many things for us. Let's run away" Noel joined Noelle as they began to cry. Jude felt bad,
Jude's jaw hardened. His eyes gleaming with outrage as he forced himself from retaliating to his mother's continuous ridicule. He went to sit on the opposite couch Raina and the twins had just stood up from. He shifted his buttocks down, relaxing his elbow on the couch's arm while his fisted knuckles rested under his chin. He seems bored and weary, "Screaming like this would not change anything" "As long as she is not living with you, it's a change. I guess that is the only solution" Jude's mother sniffs, eyes swollen from crying. Her voice had also become hoarse from screaming. "You can hear her clearly when she disagreed to live with you. Why are you behaving like she is not old enough to make decisions? Get a hold of yourself, woman" Jude lashed out angrily. He felt uneasy by the thought of Raina relocating to somewhere else. "I have no business interfering with her life. My only concern is the kids…" "The same kids who are scared of you! They were obviously exhausted and hungr
"Jude have you seen the new grade 4 assistant dance mentor?!" Jacob clamored in astonishment, earning a deep exhausting groan from his companion, Jude. "Man, I'm trying to get something stuck in my brain for the upcoming exams. My parents threatened to ban my social media account and limit my credit card. They keep blackmailing me with their business and me being their heir shit!!! " Jude whines, leans back in his wingback chair, and stretches his muscular arms under his head. He had gotten distracted already. They were at their special building. Apparently, it was built for Jude, Jobe, and Jacob, who were popularly known as the "JKINGS" It's a dwelling meant to relax and refresh themselves, but they often do the opposite. The JKINGS are the most influential young dancers both in Dream High and on social media, with Jude as their leader. The edifice was built especially because they are hot- cakes. They sneak in girls and have fun at any time they want, and even if they were caught
Raina gulps, wipes her puffy eyes and nervously adjusts her suit trousers "I was speaking on a friend's behalf. Don't think much of what you heard because it's nothing related to my circumstances" she rushed out with a pleading tone, knowing how corny the spoiled brats can be. Every single mistake from you matters to them.Jude's heart thumps funnily the moment her eyes meet with his. All the time she was sprouting words to cover up her situation, he watched the movement of her lips. It was an inducement at first sight. The cigarette didn't make him feel good from the bad morning which was primarily provoked by a paramount argument with his parents regarding his studies. He was frustrated that nothing seemed to go the way he wanted, but surprisingly, Raina's perfect pouty lips seemed to be the dose he could consume to make him feel good. He doesn't like the feeling but he couldn't deny his wish. Jude groans internally and quickly feigns a nasty expression. Normally, he would have
Raina walked away from the spot and the car did the same. It continued like that until the front seat automatically and dramatically opened, indicating for her to go in. She bent low to appreciate whoever it was until her eyes caught Jude. Her lips shut like they were tied and she angrily and hurriedly walked away to the station. Jude put on his big sunshades and alighted from the car. He was in a casual black outfit but even so, the other people at the station were stunned by his charismatic steps towards Raina. They didn't know he was Jude as he also made sure to back them.Jude stood at Raina's front and carried her in his arms. She whimpered and wriggled her legs until he whispered "Don't make a fool out of yourself. People are watching" Raina curls in his arms and tries to hide her face in embarrassment. Jude slightly bowed and groaned out because of the odd stares from mostly the older men "She's my girlfriend, We fought " he mouthed to clear their confusion. It worked as th
"Father" Raina unexpectedly cut in. "No disagreement " he snapped with a strict tone of finality."He has informed his parents about the progress of his relationship. In fact, he gave me your engagement ring since you stubbornly walked out on him the other day he planned to propose to you. So…you can't blame him. It's a great honour that someone that influential is willing to be my in-law, my dear daughter." her father emphasized without any bother of her current situation. She couldn't breathe properly as she was experiencing a mini-panic attack at that moment.It felt like the world became still. She couldn't bear to take in the news. She ain't interested in lovey-dovey but never for once thought her love life would turn out this way. A proposal through her father? Marriage with someone she doesn't love?"This isn't different from a paedophile father" she finally breaks down in a shaky voice. She had been strong but not anymore as it seemed it was getting real each day. "You are b
