Chapter 41 Connor Hughes "The fuck! What is she doing here?" I mumbled and scoffed unbelievably. I told her before I left that she shouldn't wait up for me, so how come she's still here? "Is she crazy or what?" Again, I mumbled and shook my head before I went to wake her up. "Where are you coming from?" Her voice was filled with rage as soon as she was sober, and I had to ask myself if she wasn't the same person who was sleeping deeply here just now. "I went out. Why are you here? I told you I was going to come back home late. Why did you wait up for me?" I was a bit mad at her for being this stupid. "Where the hell did you go to and didn't even think that it was time for you to come back home?" She snapped at me, her eyes filled with rage, and I flinched. "Hey! What's up with that..." "You went to hang out with your numerous flings, yeah?" She scoffed and bit her bottom lip. Every action 9f hers confuses me so much and always leaves me asking myself several questions. "Jani

Chapter 42 Claire POV Sitting outside in the middle of the night with the cold piercing through my bones, birds chirping and making terrifying noise, I couldn't help the tears that streamed down my cheeks. It felt like the last days of my life, or maybe I was already dead and alone in my grave. I know they said the grave is more terrifying, but at the moment, I didn't think there would be anything more terrifying than staying alone at home in the whole dark house without a single light. My phone beeped, and I checked to see that it was a warning that it was going to power off. At that moment, the only light that had been helping me went off immediately as my phone switched off, leaving me in thick darkness. I couldn't even get a glimpse of my surroundings. Yesterday, my parents left in the morning on a business trip, leaving me alone here. Well, they asked me to move in with my Mom's friend, but I refused so they were left with no choice but to leave me behind. Maybe they thought w

Chapter 43 Khan POV 'You are not my style' Those words won't stop replaying in my head and I couldn't help the scoff that would always tear through my throat each time I recalled it. I glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and she was staring out of the car while resting her head on the headrest. "Hey! Are you hungry? Should I get you something to eat on our way?" I broke the silence, but she ignored me. "I'm talking to you..." "I'm not hungry," She replied to me flatly without even sparing me a glance, and I shook my head unbelievably. Here I was, crushing on this little girl little did I know that she was this rude. We finally arrived at my apartment, and I pulled over at the parking lot. Aside from working as Connor's secretary, I also managed one of the most popular restaurants in town, so I can only say that I'm well-to-do. I just enjoy working under someone, that's why I had to work as my best friend's secretary. She walked ahead of me as soon as she stepped out o

Chapter 44 Janice POV "Fuck!" I cursed and finally sat up on the bed after tossing endlessly. It felt like I was going to lose my mind, or who knows, maybe I must've lost it already. Why the fuck was I acting like that if I wasn't crazy for a moment? Thinking about all the shits I said to him back there, I could only conclude that maybe I was high on something. I couldn't have said those words in my right frame of mind, right? "I'm not that kind of a cheap and crazy girl. Janice is worth everything," I reminded myself even though I acted like a maniac around him earlier. 'I told you I won't ever sleep with you' I scoffed unbelievably as those words replayed in my head. No matter the angle I looked at it from, I wouldn't stop seeing it as an insult. Does he think that I'm one ugly bitch he can't afford to go to bed with? "Ugh! Forget it. If he said that he can't sleep with you, maybe you are too good for him. What am I saying? You are too fucking good for him, and not maybe," I tr

Chapter 45 Connor POV "When are you leaving his house?" I asked Claire on the phone and heard her sigh. "Dad called me earlier and told me that they won't be back until a few weeks. They were asking me to go stay at Mom's friend's house, but that is the last thing I would ever do," she sighed again, and I felt bad for her. "Do you want to go to the penthouse and stay with Chase?" I asked her. Allowing her to stay with Khan was the last thing I would do. "Dad is going to be mad at me if he finds out about it," She whined, and I got that she was scared. "What are you going to do then? I can't allow you to stay with Khan. I don't trust him," I said to her point blank, and she scoffed. "Are you kidding me? Don't even think of it, Connor. I'm not planning to have a boyfriend now, and even if I'm ever going to, that's definitely not your friend. He is not my style," I almost burst into laughter when she said that. It was the first time I heard a girl say that Khan was not her style.

Chapter 46 Janice POV It was supposed to be a beautiful evening, but it was trouble for me. It felt like I was trapped in my own thoughts. Standing here on the balcony and staring up at the beautiful stars in the sky, I couldn't gather my thoughts together no matter how much I tried to. They always went in a direction that never had a destination, and it was driving me nuts already. "You must be in love with her. That must be the case," I almost screamed my mind out when my subconscious mind came up with that crappy thoughts. I mean, how could I be in love with him? Even if he was the last man on earth, I wouldn't still be in love with him, right? Come to think of it, he's a flirt. A freaking big-time playboy, so how would I trust someone like that with my heart and not know that he would end up not only breaking it, but smashing and stomping on it? "I must've gone crazy for a moment, because why the heck was I like that around him? Why did I get so angry? Why did I wait up for him

Chapter 47 Claire POV Being here felt even more comfortable than in my house, and I couldn't deny the fact that I love it here. Khan has been nothing but nice to me, and he is not a jerk after all. 'I don't trust Khan enough to let you stay with him' I scoffed when Connor's words replayed in my head. Now that I thought of it, why do guys never allow their friends to get close to their sisters? I've seen how protective guys are of their sisters toward their friends. "That's his problem to deal with. He is not my style," I shrugged. It was a beautiful evening, and I was getting ready to go downstairs for dinner since his house help came to call me a moment ago. I thought he lived here alone, it was this morning I realized that he actually has a maid. Someone the same age as me. After I changed into my robe since I would be sleeping soon, I left my room and headed downstairs. The aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed me as I descended the staircase minutes later, and just the scen

Chapter 48 Connor Hughes POV It was supposed to be a beautiful morning, but I woke up this morning feeling distressed. It felt as though the world was going to end. I didn't know why I was feeling that way, but one thing I knew was the fact that I missed my family so much, especially Mom. I've spent all the years of my life living with them, being loved by my parents, and before now, I wouldn't ever leave the house even after marriage. Not that I was planning to ever get married, anyway. I mean, the first one didn't work out well for me and ended miserably, so why should I get into another one? Trust me, you wouldn't want to know what happened to my first marriage. You would be disgusted, so it's not something to talk about. I don't really want to think about it again. The fresh air on the balcony blew gently on my face. The air was refreshing, but I was trapped in my own thoughts so I wasn't really feeling it. "Should I call Mom? I missed her so much," I mumbled as I took out my

Chapter 49 Connor Hughes 'She's in love with you' are the words that have been living rent-free in my head even after so many days and after so much effort to get it off. It felt like it was imprinted there to be there till eternity. It was a boring morning as usual and I just had my bath and came back into the room to get dressed and leave the house since I had a business meeting in about two hours. "Am I losing my mind?" I faced my reflection in the mirror and asked as if it could answer me. "Is she really in love with me?" I asked my reflection for the second time, expecting a miracle to happen and get an answer to my question, but in the end, I only looked like a psycho that has lost it. "Ugh! Forget it," I mumbled and headed to the closet where I grabbed my clothes from, and in a few minutes, I was all dressed and looking hot as always. Just when I was about to leave my room, my phone beeped, so I checked to see that it was a text from my client. The one I was supposed to h

Chapter 50 Connor Hughes "I must've gone crazy for a moment. I must've really lost it for a minute," I cursed for the umpteenth time as the image from earlier kept popping in my head. The thought of how angry I was earlier made things even more complicated for me. I mean, why the fuck was I so angry? I checked the wall clock and realized that it was past 4pm and the stylist must be on his way now or maybe he was already here, who knows? "Forget it, Connor. You have no business with him," I told myself, trying to get my head off the thought of the stylist, but it didn't seem like it was going to work, so I found myself leaving my room and strolling down the hallway. Since we no longer sleep in the same room, I checked her supposed room but didn't find her inside, so I proceeded to the living room knowing she would be there. The sound of the laughter coming from the living room as I descended the staircase made me wonder what the heck was going on there. I didn't remember having a m
