All Chapters of Taming Mr. Arrogant: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

JadeI pulled my father’s car into the parking spot, relieved to find an empty space so close to the building. It was impossible for me to park the car in the lot provided by the company because the car always needed a push to start the engine. My life stinks; hence, I would do anything to better my family. I was my family’s hope, but Kate took that away from them. Even though it was still early in the morning, the temperature had already reached an intolerable level. A long walk to Blackwood Corporation would make me look like a melted ice cube by the time I entered the firm, making Mr. Lombardi tell me I wasn’t good enough again. I still don’t get it. The man told me I wasn’t worthy, but he still called me back to the same position I wasn’t worthy of having in the first place. Didn’t he think I would wear the same clothes that made me look unworthy to stand before him? Or did he believe that I had become wealthy in the past few weeks? That man confuses the shit out of me.I heaved

Abigail I raised the wine bottle in a toast. “I can’t believe I’m 25 years old today! Happy birthday to me!” The living room was empty, so no one answered or looked at me funny when I went to say, “And to leaving the castle for New York City.” With a morose frown, I tipped the bottle back against my lips and let the fruity liquid flood my mouth. They don’t give a damn about me. They do not have any interest in me. These Lycans had the misconception that I’m weak and easily pushed around. Why would the Alpha King run a show to select a Luna and not perform his duties? I am his chosen mate. This man has lived for over two millennia, and despite passaging countless centuries, he has never met his mate, the woman he has always dreamed of. His mate. Over tons with no mate and here I am giving myself to him, but he isn’t interested.Why does he have such a deep-seated hatred for me? I took another swallow of the wine before breaking down into sobs. Everyone thinks I’m going to get pregnan

SalvatoreA bluish haze emanating from the light washed over my features, temporarily preventing me from seeing anything, while the rhythmic thud of the bass reverberated throughout my body. The crowd at Dirty Deeds was nearly impossible to get through. I looked at the time, and now I understand why there was such a commotion. It was getting close to midnight, and just like they did back home, the busiest time of the party was typically between eleven in the evening and two in the morning. Now is the time when we get to see who is letting their guard down, giving us the opportunity to hunt them down. I love the hunt, but with humans...My eyes traveled down to the dance floor below me, where a throng of people was moving around and gyrating. Dark does have the lavish lifestyle of a king in New York. When viewed from this vantage point, it is as if I am the king, and they are my subjects. The club was filled with young, attractive people who appeared to be lost in the euphoric state br

JadeBefore I allow myself to look at the time again, I tap my fingers on my thigh rhythmically and count to twenty in my head. At this point, it has been at least ten minutes since I set the dishes on the table, and trust me when I say that I have absolutely no desire to return to the table. I drew a long breath and turned around to go back.“Is this one okay?” I asked, lifting the unknown brand of Pinot Grigio and showing Gail. I have no idea why I’m wasting my time showing it to her. It’s just a bottle of wine. But at least for humanity’s sake, I wanted to get what she likes since it’s her birthday, or at least what Mr. Lombardi likes, so I could get out of this place as soon as possible. She gave me a warning look with her sophisticated brow, as though I had done something wrong. “Don’t you have a Sauvignon Blanc?” I suppressed a sigh with my lip. It’s not her fault; I blame myself for allowing myself to be used like this just because I needed money, or, should I say, attention,

JadeI went into the bathroom, and there was a massive bathtub with jets waiting for me. After turning on the water, I scooped some of the heavenly-scented bath salts that they offered. The water began to boil, and a thick cloud of steam began to envelop the room as it spread throughout the bathroom. I tripped and climbed into the warm water. I lay down in the water and gave my body the freedom to float. Thoughts of Mr. Lombardi and how he confuses me filled up my mind.There is something about him that gives me the creeps to the point that my hair is standing on end. It’s also scary that I feel like I need him to live. To survive. To concur the world. I feel like he is mine to keep, and it scares me. My sudden obsession with him is no longer healthy. I need to forget about him. Nothing good will come out of this. This man will bring me pain. He will degrade me. After the water has reached the desired temperature, I rinse off my body, climb out of the tub, and pat myself dry with one
