41. Won't Fall Again

"I am staying in your room in case that hoebag comes back to rape you," I declared.Miranda seemed like a total psycho. What kind of woman tries to sneak into a man's room in an attempt to steal someone's fiancé?Connor chuckled and pulled me to his lap. "I think I'm strong enough to push her off.""I am still staying.""Good, then I can touch you all night," He started to place small kisses all over my neck and chest."No, you're not. You're going to sleep because you have to wake up early for the conference," I frowned."But...I'm hard," Connor placed my hand between his legs and smirked."NO! Go to sleep. You jerk," I giggled."Fine, can I hold you then?" he smiled.I nodded, then buried my face in his chest. He smelled like soap. He must've taken a shower right before he went to bed.The next day, I woke in an empty bed. He must've gone to the conference early in the morning. I wonder how awkward it was

42. Don't Go to The Club

A week went by, and I didn't have the chance to speak to Ansel properly after that day. It wasn't that I didn't want to. I was too preoccupied with work to deal with drama. I saw him at the office as he finally got it together and decided to show up for work. But something about him had changed. He wasn't the same. He used to be warm and friendly. Now he had a certain cold aura that chilled my bones. I didn't realize Jessica's betrayal would destroy him this much.I should talk to him more, I decided.Connor hired another secretary within a week since many people were seeking an opportunity. I didn't run into Miranda in the apartment either. She must be hiding from me. I wouldn't show my face either if I were her.I fell into my routine. Connor was busy all week, so I didn't get to see

43. Flirting with a Disaster

Connor looked at me with irritation and shook his head in disapproval as I pushed him toward Ansel."You so owe me for this," he announced, then walked over to them with confidence.I followed him and sat down at the other side of the bar so I could hear them. A big guy sat between us, making me almost invisible. Besides, Ansel was too busy flirting with the girl to notice me."Hey beautiful..." the guy next to me started."Shh...I'm trying to spy on my fiancé," I sneered. He quickly turned back to his drink.Connor had already turned his charm on. He casually walked behind Ansel and put his arm around him. And judging from Ansel's wide eyes and big scowl, he wasn't pleased to see him."Whoa, I didn't know you were coming here!" Connor exclaimed and patted Ansel on the back."What are you doing here? Where is Anya?" Ansel asked."Anya? Why would she be here?" Connor acted obliviously."Because she is your fia..."

44. A Rude Brother

"Ahem!"All three of them looked at me as I cleared my throat. Ansel frowned, and Connor smirked."Having fun?" I narrowed my eyes at Connor. I sat next to the empty chair next to him."Oh yes, have you met the lovely Jules?" Connor smiled slyly. I'm gonna kick his ass."Good, you're here too. Take your man away from me," Ansel said. His ears were flushed."Her man?" Jules was confused."Oh yes. Let me introduce you to my fiance, Anya," Connor grabbed my chair and dragged it closer to him."You are engaged?" Jules asked."That's what I've been trying to tell you," Ansel said irritably."Aww, that's too bad," Jules pouted, not even trying to hide her disappointment.Excuse me. What am I, Chopped liver?"Well, you two can keep each other company. I'm heading out. You coming, Jules?" Ansel looked at her.Oh no, that would defeat the purpose of me coming here."Don't leave. We need to talk," I sai

45. Marry Me

My wedding day.I never thought it would come so soon, and I never imagine it'd be like this. Let's go back and elaborate. Connor and I decided to take a mini-vacation to the Miami beach since none of us had the time to spend time with each other for a whole month. Last time we saw each other was when we had that spontaneous dinner with Ansel.You know, the one where Ansel got to shower with an alcoholic beverage and his pride turned into dust?I put on a cute floral bikini and got ready for the day. I've been looking forward to relaxing."Are you ready?" Connor came out of the bathroom and asked. He had changed into his swim shorts and didn't put on a shirt."Mhm," I mumbled and stared at his chest. I have a problem for sure. "Would you mind making these tighter?" I pointed at my bikini strings.Connor moved closer and untied the strings but paused before tying them back. He let them fall off his fingers. I gasped and q

46. Living with the Villain (Epilogue)

"YOU DID WHAT?" Yup, just like I thought. My mom turned from 'My fair lady' to fire-breathing dragon after telling her about mine and Connor's spontaneous wedding. It was Sunday afternoon. Connor and I called everyone to deliver our news. His father couldn't make it as he was out of town. "We got married?" as if I phrase it like a question, it'd sound less ridiculous. "Without telling us? We would've love to be there for you. I would've flown there instantly," my dad looked pained, and I felt terrible. "We're sorry, Ivan and Ariel. We did it in a moment of passion," Connor tried to diffuse the situation. "My husband is a passionate guy," I said and giggled as the words 'my husband' sounded unreal and ridiculous in my own ears. "Oh, you think it's funny, young lady? You just broke your poor mother's heart," my mom wiped a tear and stormed out. "Mom!" I called after her, but she was already gone to the other room.
