Jake couldn't figure out which room was hotter. The VIP or the clubhouse. He held Amanda close to his side as he moved through the crowd with the boys. He could see some girls throwing dirty looks at him and the guys did the same for Amanda and he was grateful that Amanda paid such guys no mind. She must have been regretting bringing him to meet these guys. He could tell that from her sober appearance but he was going to make sure that she got exactly what she wanted. Levi moved into a booth and the guys that were sitting there hurriedly scooted away without a single word from Levi. It got Jake wondering who exactly these guys were to be able to remove a crowd from a space without uttering a word. Levi took his seat and so did the guys. Jake, who was still holding Amanda's hand, lowered himself into the seat and the smooth leather felt good on his skin as he sat down. Amanda inched closer to him and he wrapped his hand around her. He saw the angry look on Maverick's face, the look ca
Scott held the key to Jake's life and he didn't even know it. Maybe if he did, he would have collected the drugs for free or ended the good relationship he had gathered with the Chairman over the years. He knew that Jake was at a loss as to who the Chairman was, it was a clear sign that the guy was an amateur but then people had worked for them for ages and never got to know who the Chairman was. He preferred living a low-profile life in a secluded environment where no one knew his name. But in truth, no one ever knew the man's name. He was a mystery to everyone. Apart from one person.Jasmine Blake.The only woman who had ever heard him call himself by his name. She was an endangered species and the Chairman protected her with everything in his possession. Yet, the woman had no idea. Every day she would go to her office on Laker's street and sit in her little cubicle, input numbers that most of the time, she didn't know what they meant and then she would stand up and go home. She did
The drive back home was done in silence and the driver constantly peeped at the back seat from the driver's mirror. His brain was in a cloud of worry as he wondered why a perfectly good-looking couple would be seated so far away from each other. 'But then, maybe they aren't a couple.' The man thought to himself as he shrugged his shoulders and focus on the road.Jake stole occasionally glances at Amanda's face. She was back to being a bitch, Jake sighed when he realized that he was right all along. The woman didn't care for him, she never had and she never would. He focused his attention on the houses that spun out of his sight as soon as they got in and he slightly wound down the window glass to receive some air. Jake laid back on his chair and closed his eyes with the hopes of relaxing his head. "Must you really act like an idiot all the time?" But relaxing was too much to ask for when Amanda was around. He opened his eyes and saw the young lady looking at him with folded hands."W
"Jake Swanson?!" Sebastian bellowed. Jake's silence couldn't be a good thing and he was already freaking out as to what it is that the guy could be hiding."Will you please stop yelling?" Jake screamed back and slowly adjusted on the stairs till his back was on the railing. "Tell me what you did." It wasn't a request, it was a command and Jake couldn't help but feel like a child and also take Sebastian as his father."I started selling drugs today," Jake said with a shaking voice. It was important for Sebastian to know but he was running Jake's company for him while he went around looking for true love. He believed that the man deserved to how much he was messing up."You did what?!" If Sebastian was truly sleeping, he was fully awake with the information Jake had just given him. "Jake, are you out of your mind?! Do you know the implications of your actions?! You are putting the entire company at stake with this little job of yours." Jake froze. He had no idea that his actions didn'
The creepy smile on Amanda's face persisted even after Jake had closed the door and begun walking toward her. He couldn't take his eyes off her, something about her smile always threw him off balance."What's going on?" Jake couldn't help himself, he smiled along with her, totally prepared for whatever she wanted to do."Well, I just thought to show you how very thankful I am for what you did." She sounded sexy but she didn't look it. She didn't sit in a flirting style, didn't even attempt to put on a sexy dress. She was still dressed in her mini skirt and A-line blouse. The clothes did show some skin but if she was trying to seduce her husband, didn't she need to go the extra mile?"And how do you intend to do that?" Jake took slow steady steps walking away from her. For all he knew, she could be with a knife and was waiting for him to come closer so that she could finally put an end to his life. It would be easy to cover up his body, it will be even easier to convince her father tha
Jake opened his eyes to see his lovely wife's eyes closed. She slightly moaned and Jake deepen the kiss. Maybe she did want sex after all. She turned her around and slammed her into the wall. Maybe she wanted sex but he didn't, turning around, Jake flew into the bathroom and before Amanda could comprehend what was happening, he slammed the door once again. Amanda stared at the door, too pissed to bang at it again. If he wasn't ready to consummate their marriage, she wasn't going to force him. She sighed as she moved towards the bed, got under the sheets and finally slept off. "Fuck!" Jake cursed as he banged his head into the wall. He was very stupid for running away from his wife. He should have stood his ground and done exactly what he wanted. He was falling madly in love with this woman, so why couldn't he do what lovers do with her? The bathroom floor was cold but Jake slept on it anyway.His dream was occupied by Amanda and her beautiful face. And before he knew it, the sun had
Jake forced his feet to carry him into his boss's office. He didn't even bother to knock. The room was dimly lit and it was just the way his boss loved it. According to him, the ambience that was created in the room always helped him work more comfortably. Jake didn't dare to move into the room. He had to be on his best behaviour if he was to not get fired. With his left hand by his side and his right hand raised to the door, Jake knocked slightly and prevented his lips from quivering. He watched as his boss raised his head, and immediately he saw Jake, a smile crept up on his face and the dimly lit room seemed so much brighter to Jake."Jake Swanson! I would have killed you if you didn't come in early. Why are you standing by the door? Come on in." The man spoke with so much vigour that Jake was compelled to move his feet. He forced a smile as he moved into the room and took a seat."You sent for me sir?" Jake focused his attention on the man with the hopes that he won't see his han
Hello, my darling husband. You left without saying goodbye. Well, now I'm giving you the opportunity to remedy that. I'm outside your office.Jake groaned as he punched the air in frustration. Seeing his bloodthirsty, always-nagging wife was the last thing he needed. Taking his brown coat, he swung it over his white shirt that he wore with blue jeans. Jake hadn't had time to choose a good outfit and as such, he just threw on the first thing he was able to lay his eyes on. The cold breeze brushed against his skin as he stepped out of the office building and he pulled the coat closer to his body. He narrowed his eyes as he scanned the environment in search of a pretty blonde girl and his eyes finally found her. The cold couldn't get into Jake's heart because the sight of Amanda in a black body con dress warmed his insides. Involuntarily he smiled and his mouth became slightly open as he watched the sun shine brightly on her head and her angel-white teeth curve into a smile. Amanda did
