All Chapters of Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I was still upset but also breathed a sigh of relief. "I share the same thoughts about our prospects, Ignatz, but I don't like being questioned this way. I'm serious about my commitment and setting boundaries."I would end my relationship with Jethro. We lived in different worlds, and our lives should’ve never intersected. "That’s reassuring to hear. I feel the same way too," Ignatz chirped excitedly and made his own guarantees.I forced out a smile. I had agreed to continue working on us, but the way he just questioned me had made him a lot less likable in my eyes. I wrapped up the meal as quickly as I could, made up an excuse, and left. I felt not even a lick of affection for him right now, but these things could be fostered given time. I was sure that if we started seeing each other more, I’d grow to be less repulsed by him. Hopefully.Ignatz wanted to catch a movie together after lunch, but I told him I was really tired because of work lately. I knew watching movies was one of

"Don't tell Summer? You have the audacity to ask me to help you cover this up?" I snickered. "Listen, Serena. I know I made a mistake, but I didn't mean to. It was a moment of weakness! I'll change, I swear!" he said hurriedly.Unfortunately, I wasn't going to believe him anymore."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Hmph. It’s only been a few days, Claude. And I'd made myself explicitly clear that I'd never let you harm Summer in any way!" I thundered icily."No! I was seduced! I shouldn't have fallen for it! I know that now. I'll treat Summer right from now on, I swear! I won't hurt her anymore!" he swore and begged as he grabbed my hand.Disgusted, I pulled away. Liam at least admitted to his affair as soon as he was found out. This maggot had the audacity to beg me to cover his tracks twice.I leaped to my feet and roared to my heart's content, ignoring the rest of the cafe patrons, "Fuck you! I'm not covering up for your ass! I want my best friend to know just how mu

"Yes, I'm questioning you! Who do you think you are to go around investigating random people?!" I retorted hotly. Okay, I liked Jethro, but that didn't mean he was allowed to intrude on my privacy."Don't challenge me, Serena. My patience is limited," he growled, his expression darkening. "Stop the car. I want to get out.”Jethro was being unreasonable. I had no idea what he was thinking. He said we could go our separate ways when I had found someone else, but all he had been doing lately was walking back on that promise.It was driving me up the wall!He glared at me coldly and proceeded to floor the accelerator. Judging from the path he took, he was heading to his home."What are you doing, Jethro?! I said I wanted out!" I shouted and slapped the car door multiple times.I felt like punching him in the face. He was so hungry for me that he was not letting me say no. Why did I ever say yes to this devil's contract? My life would’ve been peaceful right now if I hadn’t. But I

“Really? Acting like a puritan now? You knew how to play along before you met Ignatz, but now you suddenly feel repulsed?" His voice was cold. His desire had left him, and I could no longer see any emotion in his eyes. But it was him bringing up Ignatz that had fueled my anger. What the hell was up with him, going on and on and on about Ignatz today? Ignatz hadn't done anything against him, and Ignatz and I hadn't done anything together."We never had sex, okay? Ignatz and I aren't dating just so we can fuck each other. We're seeing each other for the purpose of marriage—unlike whatever the hell is going on between us," I rebutted.I might not feel anything for Ignatz, but he was at least a man who understood boundaries. We had been seeing each other for almost a month and he had yet to do anything remotely inappropriate. "And now you're defending him. Let me remind you—you're mine for the next six months." Men were possessive creatures, and when two competed for mates, they wo

I washed the dishes as Jethro watched me. I then asked timidly, "Now that we’ve had dinner…can I go home?"My real, honest opinion? No, I didn't want to leave. I didn't want everyone to see me clothed in his shirt. I can't deal with those implications!"I don't recall saying you can leave tonight. You can go home tomorrow.""That won’t do. I have to go to work tomorrow, and there’s something very important I have to talk to Summer about tonight," I protested.I had to tell Summer all about Claude and his two-timing ways. She deserved the truth—he didn't deserve her love, and she didn't deserve to be lied to.Jethro was unconvinced. "I'm heading to the office tomorrow, so I can drive us both there. As for whatever it is between you and Summer, it can wait till tomorrow."I frowned, exasperated. This man was a goddamn tyrant! "Jethro!"He started to look impatient. "Can you stop it? I bet it's not really that urgent. What's the rush?""But it is. It's urgent and important. I need
