Chapter 111

Jake's POVI can’t believe she divorced Diego. What was she thinking? Diego will not just let her go like that.“Selena... What will I do with you?”She looked so soft and innocent right now; she must feel the way my heartbeat was racing. Her hands on my chest were burning me in a nice way, making my thoughts wild.This was not the time to be feeling this way, but right now, I was lost in her eyes.“Kiss me,” she whispered.Did I hear her correctly? Kiss her? Of course, that is what I wanted to do the moment I stepped into the room and saw her frowning while staring down at her laptop.To kiss her senseless and till we both lose our minds. I saw a hint of disappointment in her expression, then leaned closer. She wanted this, I wanted it, so why stall?Our lips touched, and all hell broke loose. She must have been so overwhelmed that her legs gave way, but I steadied her with my hands at her back. Her hands went around my neck to help hold herself up.She moaned and opened up to me; ou

Rose's POVWas it true? All those rumors, the news articles about Jake? And the latest one I saw—he must have felt so humiliated. What was actually going on?I've been trying to reach Jake for months now, but I couldn’t; he doesn't care about me because he should have at least tried to talk to me. I need to know for sure if all the stories about him are true.Who can I reach out to? His mother or sister? Kelvin... I brought out my cell phone and dialed his number. He picked up on the second ring."Rose?""Hello, Kelvin." It’s been a long time since we spoke to each other. I had been on a trip for some weeks away from town and hadn’t kept in touch with Kelvin at all.He must think I am terrible for ignoring him the way I did, though he has always been a great help to me."It’s been a while since I heard from you.""Yes, I was out of town.""Can we catch up? I'll meet you at the bar," he suggested.That was perfect. "Alright then, see you there." We ended the call, and I wore my coat an

Chapter 113

Selena's POVI caught the last bit of Jake's conversation with his mother and just couldn't pretend I hadn't eavesdropped on his phone call. I almost had sex with Jake Marino again!What was wrong with me? I scolded myself a lot when Jake finally left me alone in the kitchen. It was awkward having him there; who knows what we would have ended up discussing if the housekeeper hadn't knocked when she did.I won't pretend to myself that I didn't enjoy that bit of romance. It’s been a long time since I gave myself up to a guy like that. Not even Diego, who was still waiting for me to be free with him until the day we divorced.Was I starving for intimacy? Was that why I almost lost control? I shook my head in regret and pity for myself. So, back to Jake's conversation—I thought his father was dead!Did his mother remarry? I don’t think so because that wasn't in the news. So it must be his biological father. When he ended his call, I asked him in surprise, "Your dad is alive?"He looked up

Chapter 114

Jake's POVI stayed in my room, even though all I wanted was to seduce Selena until she gave in. But I was giving her the chance to choose. I wouldn't force her. She seemed like she wanted to be with me, so I decided to wait for her to make the first move.I fell asleep eventually, but woke with a start at the sound of someone talking. Shirtless, I walked to the living room. The light was still on, and Selena sat in front of her laptop, engrossed in a conversation.From her words, I gathered she was talking to her mother. I stayed hidden, listening intently. Selena sounded worried about the kids."They really didn't cry today?" Mrs. Dacosta's voice filtered through the speaker."I miss them so much, Mom," Selena replied, her voice heavy with sadness."If you're this worried," I thought, "why are you even here?""I know, but how is Jake?" she continued. "We saw the news.""He's holding up well," Mrs. Dacosta reassured her. "He's strong, not one to break down easily.""Of course," Selen

Chapter 115

Selena's POVIt would be so nice to wake up like this each day. I looked up at Jake. He was smiling, waiting for me to say something. His face held a calculating look. Does he think I'll regret what we did? Far from it."Good morning," I said, pulling him closer. Then, I covered my mouth and pulled away. "I hate my morning breath!" I rolled out of bed, grabbing the blanket and revealing my nakedness.I wrapped the bulky blanket around myself and trudged to the bathroom, sighing as I realized my toiletries weren't there. I sat down on the sink.A knock on the door startled me. It opened to reveal Jake, holding my toothbrush. "Thanks," I mumbled, taking it from him.I expected him to leave, but he walked in, clad only in his briefs. He grabbed his toothbrush, added toothpaste, and held his hand out to me. Without a second thought, he helped me add some paste to my brush. He started brushing his teeth nonchalantly.He was so comfortable, like we'd been doing this for years. I stood up an

Chapter 116

Jake's POVMy mother wasn't picking up her calls. When I reached the house, I instructed the security not to announce my arrival. I spotted some reporters lurking around, but thankfully, they didn't recognize me."Do they think I'm stupid for driving my own car home?" I muttered under my breath.The company grounds were clear of reporters, so I parked my car there and hurried inside, calling for my mother. Had she gone to the hospital without me?A quick scan of the living room revealed a hunched figure in a chair. "Mom?" I called out, approaching cautiously. It was her, the familiar scent of her perfume confirming it. She looked utterly defeated, dark circles hanging beneath her eyes."Jake? Is that you?" she asked, scrambling upright as I knelt beside her. She cupped my face, examining me intently."How'd you know it was me?" she inquired, surprised I could identify her.I sighed, placing a hand on her knee. "Your perfume," I replied simply.Tears welled up in her eyes. "Oh, Jake, I

Chapter 117

Selena's POVTears streamed down my face, blurring my vision. I couldn't make out the details of the scene, but the wail of sirens signaled help was on the way."Help! Someone help him!" I cried out. Some reporters were still snapping pictures. Didn't they have a shred of human decency? I wanted to smash their cameras – another exclusive for them: the return of Jake Marino's long-lost wife."Jake! Mrs. Marino!" A frantic voice called. It was Jake's mother, her glare cutting straight through me."Here, he's hurt!" I shouted, pointing. One of the paramedics rushed over and began examining Jake. Another EMT joined them, bringing a stretcher. They carefully lifted Jake onto it and carried him towards the ambulance."Who is his guardian?" a paramedic asked."I'm his mother," Jake's mother declared.The paramedics looked at me questioningly. "I'm his wife," I said defiantly, my voice leaving no room for argument."Get in with him," one of them instructed. I jumped into the ambulance, clutch

Chapter 118

Jake's POVAs Selena left the room, Nancy whipped her head towards me, disbelief etched on her face."What the hell was that?" she demanded, her voice laced with anger. "She just disappeared for years and now shows up out of the blue?""Come on, Nancy," I croaked, wincing slightly. "Just got out of surgery. Do you have to yell?"I knew my words wouldn't appease her, but I didn't owe her any explanation right now. All my energy needed to be focused on healing quickly."Let him get some rest," my mother finally interjected, reaching over to pat Nancy's back."But Mom!" Nancy whined. "It's Selena we're talking about!""I'm not deaf, Nancy," my mother said firmly. "Go home and pack a change of clothes for Jake.""No need, Selena will handle that," I interjected, earning a pair of icy glares. Nancy stood up, her jaw set in determination."I'll bring you some fresh clothes," she declared before storming out of the room. That was definitely the quickest way to get her to leave.With the door

Selena's POVI had been avoiding my mother's calls, and even my aunt had called me several times. My mother must have seen the news, but what about my aunt? I had instructed that the culprit be taken to the station since he had confessed to who sent him.Diego—I was thankful to have been tipped off about his plan to eliminate Jake just in time. What could have happened if the assassin had aimed correctly?The thought still gave me chills. My work here was finished.

I was waiting to see what punishment would be meted out to Diego for this international crime.Exhausted, I drove back to the hospital, carrying the ordered food. I noticed the guards lingering around the ward hallway and was glad my money was well-spent. I opened the door and walked in. The Marinos were seated around Jake, who was awake and sitting up in bed.“Selena,” Jake called out as he saw me approach.I waved, place
