The Secret Successor CHAPTER 58
What the hell happened last night? How did Russell come into her bed?Both of them were wearing clothes, so probably, nothing major happened, but seeing Russell sleeping next to her made her go numb for a moment. Her mind went completely blank.All those dreams she had about sleeping next to Russell came true! Though, in a very different way.Jessica kept staring at his face without blinking. He looked so defenseless. All kinds of crazy thoughts rushed to the front of her mind. She wanted to bite his cheek and do more.She just couldn’t turn her face away from him.His pink lips, especially caught her eye as well as her heart.She licked her lips as tension increased her heartbeat. The desire to kiss him grew stronger with every passing second.Even though he was sleeping, she found it too arousing. She turned the other way to control herself. She kept biting her lips trying to bring things under control, but her body temperature just didn’t go down. She started panting, even though s
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 59
Russell didn’t have abs, but he didn’t have a fat abdomen, either. He didn't have well-defined chest muscles, but his broad shoulders more than made up for the lack of chest definition.It had been a long time since Jessica had seen him shirtless, but his torso appeared quite tall. Would all men have tall torsos like him? His back was also naturally wide, even though he didn’t do many pull-ups in his life.More than all these, it was the little black dot near his navel that made Jessica almost drool. It didn’t help when he roughly rubbed his body with her towel. She wished she was in that towel’s place. She envied her own towel like never before.But she didn’t get to see his body for all that long, as Russell donned her brother’s clothes. He looked like a different person entirely. He gave a different vibe.Her heart still beat in a strange rhythm, and it was to her liking.As he stood before the mirror, she stood behind him. (Can you hear my heartbeat? It’s trying to speak to you. C
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 60
Natasha looked like a crocodile when she was hugging the floor. Her expression was that of pure confusion and shock.When was the last time her father slapped her? She didn’t remember it. He probably never slapped her in the past. Yet now, he slapped her like he was slapping an annoying slut chasing men on the roadside.“Fredrick!” Diana got up from the couch. “Are you trying to kill her?”“I wasn’t,” Fredrick turned away. “But if she stays before my eyes for another minute, I don’t think I’ll be able to control myself.”“I’ll take her away,” Diana assured him and quickly helped Natasha to get back to her feet.“Mom, I really didn’t call Russell to the rooftop,” Natasha pitifully told her mother, “I swear.”“Even if your dad doesn’t believe you, I believe you, Natasha.”Diana took her out of the room and made her sit in the living room on the first floor. “Just wait here for a moment, and don’t say a word to anyone. I’ll come back and tell you why we’re here.” Saying that she quickly
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 61
Jessica walked over to the reception desk. A tall, blonde lady was busy typing with one hand while holding a cup of coffee in the other. “Excuse me, ma’am, I’m new to my job, and I don’t know where I should go.”The blonde lady took an entire half-minute to cast a glance at Jessica and then resumed typing for ten more seconds before sparing another glance at her. “What do you want?” There was a hint of arrogance and annoyance in her tone as if she was superior and was doing a favor to Jessica just by giving her some attention.“I passed the interview for the PA post conducted recently,” Jessica patiently explained with a polite smile on her face. “I was told to come at 10 o’clock today, but I don’t know where I should go.”“PA post? Who? You?”she amusedly smiled. “Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?”Jessica immediately frowned. She didn’t put much makeup on, but how could this woman talk so rudely when she didn’t even know a single thing about Jessica? “Thank you for your
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 62
“My boss? You must be joki—” only then, Miley glanced down and realized that she had just answered the red telephone and not the white telephone. The red one was exclusively used by the boss, and it never rang before, and that fact didn’t even cross her mind until now. “S-Sir,” she immediately stood straight, “sir, what do you want, sir?”“Jessica Walker. Send her to my room,” an indifferent voice replied from the other side.“I’m sending her up right away, sir.”“You are going to escort her to my room.”Miley’s heart sank into her stomach and swam virulently in her gastric juices. “Y-Y-Yes, sir.”The call ended.Miley quickly glanced at Jessica’s employee tag and saw her full name: Jessica Walker. She swallowed her saliva and then briefly looked at Jessica with an annoyed expression. She then gave her belongings back to her and blurted, “Follow me.”“Follow you? To where?” Jessica’s frustration escalated because she didn’t think it was Regan who just talked with Miley. She wanted to
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 63
Russell was wearing Derek’s clothes, which were informal among informals. Miley felt disgusted just from a look at those uncivil clothes, though she didn’t make it obvious through her expression. “How did you get in here?” she asked in a threatening manner like an angry dog barking at an intruder.“Excuse me?” The young man, Russell Bennett, was a bit taken aback.“What are the guards doing?” she peeked over her desk-wall and looked at the entrance only to realize that the guards were gone. (Don’t tell me… both of them went to the medical store?) She tapped her forehead. (Those idiots…)“I came here to give this to Jessica,” Russell raised the purse in his hand. “She forgot her purse. Her inhaler is inside. I must give this to her.”Miley was surprised to hear that. (If I give her this in front of Mr. Regan, he may consider giving this month’s salary!) “Give it to me. I’ll deliver this to her.”“I’m sorry, but I must personally make sure she gets this.” He knew how much Jessica used t
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 64
Jessica’s first day at the Creed Tech company was a mix of good and bad events. Some employees were quite friendly with her, whereas some didn’t shy away from expressing their negative opinion on her after hearing her qualifications. She couldn’t blame them because she didn’t even go to college and still somehow managed to get a 150,000 dollar job, so she could understand their envy. She could bear such an ill attitude shown toward her, especially because it was her first day, and she believed that they would change their minds if she were to prove her worth.Unlike Jessica, Natasha’s first day at Russell’s home was nothing short of terrible. Everybody except her sister and mother treated her as if she was a used tissue paper. Jennifer’s face especially scrunched with anger and disgust whenever their eyes met. Rails ran in Natasha’s heart every few minutes when she wondered how Jennifer would react if the truth were to be revealed.In a long while, this was the first day Natasha hadn’
The Secret Successor CHAPTER 65
Jennifer came upstairs and saw the burger, sandwich, and the cooldrink bottle on the floor. “Did you throw them on the floor?” she scowled at Natasha. “You think this is your house?”Natasha gritted her teeth.“Why aren’t you speaking?” Jennifer raised her voice. “Are you dumb? Or Did my son’s slap make you deaf?”“You…” Natasha’s blood boiled. She immediately stood from the couch. “Who do you think you are!”“I’m the owner of this house, you little cunt,” Jennifer growled and didn’t back down. Natasha felt somewhat intimidated by the redness in Jennifer’s eyes. “You better pick the food and either eat or throw it away. And clean the floor while you’re at it.”“What? Clean the floor?” Natasha clenched her hands. She had never done such a thing before. “I’d rather leave this damn house than do what you tell me to do.” She started to walk away.“Liam’s men are waiting outside,” Jennifer said. “I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to drag your sorry ass back in.”Natasha didn’t believe he
