To Sierra, James was the perfect man. Sierra loved James's considerate and gentlemanly side and was also secretly drawn to his roughness in bed.Sierra was blown away by James's lingering kiss.James released her and hissed through clenched teeth, his eyes smoldering. “You’re so hot.” Sierra felt weak in the knees. …The curtains opened a while later. James, still fully dressed, put his arm around Sierra’s waist and left. Sierra’s face was flushed, and her lips bore teeth marks. She kept her head down, not wanting to look around. She wondered if anyone had heard them. She had bit her lip to stifle her moans, but some sounds had escaped her lips. They left the café, and James took Sierra to a hotel. Once there, they eagerly held each other. Through James’ rough motion, Sierra felt her heart slowly settle into place. She could feel James’ love. At the very least, she was not left with nothing. She still had James. Sierra did not lose out on much with James on her side
Following Paige’s nod of approval, the other three roommates began discussing where to eat. In the end, they settled on a fancy restaurant in the city. The restaurant was expensive, and a meal could cost thousands. Now that they had a venue out of the way, the four girls got dolled up. They had to be dressed to the nines for fine dining. The girls took a Uber to the restaurant. Once there, the four roommates got out of the car and entered the restaurant. Despite the astronomical price, the restaurant was packed. However, the girls managed to secure a table. The attendant led them to their seats. While moving along, Millie tugged at Paige. In return, Paige gave Millie a confused look. Millie gestured to Paige to look in a direction.When Paige looked over, she was speechless.It was Chris. Chris was having dinner with a woman. The pair were exchanging whispers while dining. As the woman had her back facing them, Paige could not get a good look at her face. “Thi
Paige was confused when Annabelle suddenly stopped talking. Then, a familiar voice caught her attention. “Are you finished with dinner?” Paige froze. It was Chris’ voice. Did Chris come over? Did he recognize her? Paige had her back facing him. How did he manage to tell it was her? Maybe Chris saw her when she first entered the restaurant. Paige slowly rose to her feet and turned around. She looked at Chris, who was a few feet away, and said with a smile, “Are you dining here too?” Chris smirked at Paige. The girl was putting up a show in front of him. “Yeah.” Chris nodded. Paige was in an awkward position. Chris could have just left after his dinner. Why did he have to come up to her? Was he trying to brag about his lover? It could be the beginning of his revenge. Since the Quirks had disgraced Chris, Paige had been worried about his payback. However, Chris had not made any moves in the few days they had been married, which made Paige on edge. Now, Chris’ r
Chris nodded his head. Tanya smiled and said to Paige’s three roommates, “Chris and Ms. Quirk are heading home. How about I take you back to your school?” “It’s okay. We can take a cab.” Lisa shook her head. “Don’t worry about it. It’s on the way anyway,” Tanya replied with a grin. Lisa, Annabelle, and Millie exchanged glances before giving a nod. “Thank you.” Chris was pleased that Tanya had the girls’ logistics sorted out. He said to Paige, “Come on.” Paige was at a loss. She did not want to return to the Jewells’ residence. Despite her wish to head back to school and live on campus, Paige did not have the guts to speak her mind. She could only say goodbye to her roommates and go with Chris. “We should leave too,” Tanya cheerfully uttered to the group of three. Lisa, Annabelle, and Millie bobbed their heads. They followed Tanya into her car. Tanya drove a Land Rover. The car seemed to fit her personality. Standing at 5”7’, Tanya had shoulder-length hair and
Silence ensued. Chris looked at Paige as she quietly wept. His head felt as if it was about to explode. The experience was new for him. Like many men would react to women's tears, he felt paralyzed.Should he offer her solace? Chris thought back about the scene from a TV series he had watched occasionally. In the scene, the man held the weeping woman and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t cry, my love. You’re my angel, my sweetheart, my baby. My heart breaks when you cry.” Though, Chris could not bring himself to talk in such a way. “Don’t cry,” Chris said, his brows furrowed. Paige lifted her tear-stained face and looked at Chris’ frown. His expression only hurt her more. She was sad that he not only did not comfort her but also seemed annoyed by her crying.She closed her mouth and drew a deep breath before frantically wiping the tears off her face with the back of her hand. Why should she play along with the man? Why should she cry for him? He must be delighted that
Tanya's feelings were so obvious even an idiot could see them. Chris, however, was no idiot. So how could he be so blind to her feelings?Besides, Tanya wore her feelings on her sleeve. “So what?” Raising a brow, Chris asked. He did not look fazed. Feeling at a loss, Paige gritted her teeth in frustration. “You keep in touch with her and even took her out on a romantic dinner when she’s in love with you. You’re leading Tanya on and giving her the wrong idea. She’d think you’re interested in her,” Paige said angrily. “I have never given her that impression,” Chris said callously. Paige glared at him. Chris was a two-timing flirt. He enjoyed the chase, never turning down a beautiful woman.Only a player would enjoy the thrill of the chase, stringing another woman along without committing to anybody. “You’re a two-timer!” Paige yelled. Chris had no words. He looked at Paige, taken aback by the comment never made about him before. Was he two-timing? Technically, h
Chris could feel a certain area of his going soft. “I could also get a private investigator to find proof of your infidelity so I can get a share of your assets.” Chris had no words. “I might consider lacing your food with a slow-acting poison. You’ll grow weaker by the day until you die,” Paige said smugly. She believed her ideas were great. Paige planned to follow through with one of her plans if Chris were to rub her the wrong way. Chris scoffed in disdain. The girl was so naïve. “What are you laughing about?” Paige frowned. “You’ll be committing deliberate harm by taking away my manhood. Even if you have the luck to harm me, you can’t escape,” Chris said aloofly. “You talk about taking my assets by finding proof of infidelity. Sorry to break it to you, but the chances of that happening are slim. If I cheat, you’d never find proof because I’ll make sure to cover my tracks. Besides, my shares were assets before we married, so they have nothing to do with you. I have
Though, Paige had nothing to be worried about. As far as the story setting went, Chris should be going after her sister for revenge, not her. It was Sierra who hurt Chris, after all. Sierra was the female protagonist, while Paige was just a disposable supporting character caught between the domineering COO and the female protagonist. Paige sighed to herself. As a supporting character who could be sacrificed at any moment, Paige felt weary. “Go.” Chris’ voice interrupted Paige’s random thoughts. Paige did not know what to say. Where was she supposed to go? “Shower,” Chris said. Paige froze. He told her to shower. Was it a hint? No, it was not a hint. He was basically telling her right to her face. What was going through Chris’ mind? He was thinking about nude photography a moment ago, but now his mind had gone straight to the gutter. Chris had better things to do as the COO of the Jewell Group. He should be thinking about business and profits. Paige was
