Chapter 29Miles stood at the side of the road, waiting to haul down a cab. The incident from earlier flashed through his mind, and he scoffed. What if he had fallen for that? He would've fucked her right there in her office? Damn! That was one crazy shit ever.Miles was still trying to get a cab when a familiar black car pulled over in front of him, and he sighed frustratingly as he already recognized who the owner of the car was. It was James again. James stepped out of the car and walked over to him with a pretentious smile on his lips."You shouldn't be standing under the sun. It's going to be difficult to get a cab here. Why don't you hop in so I can drop you off wherever you are going," James uttered politely. "And I'm not going to change my mind. I won't help you plead with Mr. Mario, so stop showing your face to me. I'm going to call the cops on you if you keep being stubborn," Miles stated bluntly and walked away from him."Come on, Mr. Miles. You shouldn't be like this. My
Chapter 30Miles paused when he walked inside the living room of their apartment and found a young man seated on their chair. "Who are you?" He asked coldly as he gazed at the young man, and just then, Ashley walked into the living room from the kitchen."Oh, Miles? You are here?" Ashley tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled briefly at Miles like nothing was happening."Who is this, Ashley?" Miles asked, referring to the young man."Oh... That's Henry, my friend. Where are you coming from? Don't tell me you went shopping," Ashley beamed with smiles as she walked over to Miles to take the shopping bags from him, but he stepped away, his face filled with fury. For a moment, Miles was confused as to why he was being consumed by anger, why he was burning inside, and why he was jealous that someone came to see Ashley. Nothing was making sense to him. Besides, they were not even dating, so why was he feeling this way?"Hmm. I will drop these in the kitchen," Miles glared hard at the ma
Chapter 31Miles sat on the edge of his bed as he scrolled through his phone, bored. There was nothing much to do, and since he had not taken over the company yet, he was just left here, doing nothing. The thought of his bride crossed his mind, and overwhelmed by many thoughts. When will they get married after they meet? What kind of wedding were they going to have? Is it going to just be a contract thing?He was yet to find answers to his questions when his phone beeped with a text on the screen.'The location has been changed. Let's meet at the Dynamite clubhouse. Don't keep me waiting' Came another text from Jess, and he rolled his eyes. As much as he wanted to ignore her, he was bored and felt it would be a way to kill boredom, and a part of him was also curious to know why she wanted to see him.He tossed his phone beside him on the bed, stood up, and changed his clothes before he left his room after he picked up his phone again.Miles had thought he would find Ashley in the liv
Chapter 32Miles looked around at the men who were getting ready to beat him to a pulp. They seemed to be waiting for an order from Leo before they would get to work."I told you that I was going to deal with you... Now, watch me do it," Leo's lips twitched into a smirk as he tucked his hands into his pants."Don't bother to call out for help because you won't find anyone... I am not someone that can be messed with, Miles," Jess smirked at him also, but he just stood staring at them like they were acting a drama. Who knows, maybe they were really into acting. It couldn't be him they were all there for."Get to work... Make sure you beat the hell out of him," Leo ordered the men, and just like sheep obeying their shepherd, they all charged at Miles. However, just a word from Miles made them stop."How much did he pay you?" He stood confidently in the same spot and never flinched even with the way they all looked dangerous.The men all looked at each other surprisingly. They had expecte
Chapter 33"Wh...what are you doing?" Leo stepped back and stuttered fearfully as Miles stepped closer to him."Are you scared? Are you not man enough to fight me, hmm?" Miles's lips twitched into a smirk as he stared at Leo who looked like a scared cat."Wh...who said that I'm scared?" Leo scoffed defensively when he couldn't even throw punches at Miles. He was scared of being defeated.Miles turned to Jess, and she immediately stepped back fearfully and swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. Her heart pounded hard in her chest like it was going to explode soon. "Wh...why are you looking at me like that?" She stuttered fearfully as she took a few steps back, and Miles scoffed."Are you going to hit me? I'm a woman...""And what if I believe in gender equality?" Miles smirked as he took slow and steady steps toward Jess while she kept stepping back until her back was pressed hard against the rail."Do... don't touch me, Miles... I'm going to call the cops on you if you dare la
Chapter 34Miles left his room as soon as he woke up and headed to check up on Ashley in her room. He knocked on her door a few times but didn't get any answer, so he presumed that she was not back yet. He went back into his room and picked up his phone from the bed where he left it earlier, scrolled through it, and dialed her number. The call rang for a few seconds before her tired voice sounded from the other end."Ashley? Are you ok? Where are you?" He asked worriedly and heard her sigh."I'm fine. I'm on my way home now. Will be there in a few minutes," The call disconnected almost immediately, and he brought down his phone from his ear. Miles stared at the screen of his phone with his eyebrows knitted, wondering where she went to what happened to her back there."She must be tired to make breakfast. I should help her," He muttered as he tossed his phone on the bed and left the room immediately.Miles was not that of a good cook as he never learned it and because he never had the
Chapter 35Miles walked briskly into the school compound while holding his cross bag firmly. He was a few minutes late to class.He paused along the walkway as he spotted Ms. Kendra walking in the opposite direction. He would've avoided her, but then the class was important and of course, missing it was the last thing he wanted. "Good thing I saw you here... I was on my way to your class. See me in my office," She said to him and walked away without waiting for him to say anything.Miles briefly sighed as he watched her leave. What the fuck does she want from him? He wondered, but shrugged it off and proceeded to her office. He knocked on the door to her office when he arrived, and she ushered him in. Miles pushed the door open slightly and peeked in to find her seated behind her desk as usual. He briefly sighed and finally walked inside fully."You asked to see me, ma'am," He announced his presence, and she raised her gaze from the desktop she was focused on."Have a seat," She ge
Chapter 36"That must be her," Miles muttered and walked over to where the lady was seated. "Excuse me... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was stuck in a traffic jam," Miles apologized as she pulled out a chair and sat across from her. Miles couldn't help but admit that she was a beauty. An elegant lady with a beautiful oval-shaped face, long brown hair, charming blue big eyes, flawless skin, thick eyebrows, and finally a sexy body. She was everything his type."And you are?" The young lady who was in her late twenties however pulled a surprise expression as she stared back at Miles cluelessly while waiting for an explanation."Oh... My name is...""I don't care about your name. Do I know you from anywhere?" The lady raised an alarm as she slammed her hands on the table, demanding the attention of every other person in the restaurant, and of course, she got the attention she demanded. "Aren't you...""You pervert! How dare you dirty thing approach? You've got some guts," The lad
