Poor Heir Millionaire 12
I spent the rest of the day lying in bed, resting, as my body was paying the price for all the exertion. I dozed off for short periods, where sometimes Jack would lie beside me for quick naps, or he'd simply watch over me, thinking I was fast asleep.I felt his hands stroking my hair and his breath so close to my face, enveloping me in its sweet scent.After he took a long bath, with his help, I finally managed to get up, knowing I had to go to work whether I wanted to or not. I wrapped myself in the sheet, feeling shy about being seen naked, although it was somewhat absurd after what had happened. Still, I was quite modest about my body."Are you sure you can manage on your own?" he questioned from the bathroom, biting his lower lip, a bit concerned that I might hurt myself further while showering."Yes...""I can join you if you want.""No!" I exclaimed, paling at his suggestion, causing him to let out a teasing chuckle at my abrupt reaction. "I don't want that!""Okay," he nodded,

That night, we closed up almost at four in the morning, as the sky began to slowly brighten with the peeking sun between the mountains.We had stopped at a 24-hour supermarket before heading home at Jack's request. He spent quite some time buying things that I didn't even get to know what they were, as I stayed outside in the middle of the street, waiting for him.Minutes later, when he came out of the store, he was carrying a bag full of items, and I couldn't help but gasp at such a splurge of money on his part.Despite the argument hours ago, Jack had returned to his usual self. In contrast, I couldn't shake off his words from my mind, making it increasingly difficult for me to keep up with the conversation.Even my behavior seemed too mechanical, as if I were some kind of programmed robot."What do you say we watch the sunrise?""Sure," I shrugged.After all, I wasn't feeling the slightest hint of sleep or tiredness, having practically been in bed all day before.He took my hand, n

Despite it being daytime, I tried to sleep in my room with the curtains tightly closed, but I couldn't close my eyes.Jack invaded my thoughts.I couldn't shake off the melancholic image of his gaze when we arrived home and his sorrowful smile as we bid each other good night, going off to rest in our respective places.Something deep within my heart bothered me intensely. Perhaps it was my brutality when it came to matters of love... or maybe it was the fact that I had hurt him with my abrupt and cowardly behavior.I wasn't entirely sure, but no matter how hard I tried to shut my eyes and drift off to sleep, they would snap open, staring at the ceiling as I sought answers to everything I felt inside.I urgently needed to admit my feelings, to be honest with myself once and for all.I got out of bed determined to do just that, clumsily making my way to the living room where Jack was already fast asleep on the couch... or at least that's what it looked like at first glance.I stood next

I tried with all my strength to free myself from his arms, but I was not very successful; as he laughingly led me back to the sofa, forcing me to sit on his legs to kiss my bare back, hoping that it would calm me down a little from the terror that his ideas produced in me.I had to admit that his inordinate caresses warmed me up more than I should have been able to take my mind off things in a matter of seconds, leaving me blank.I was so engrossed that I was not even aware of the moment when I was left without a single piece of clothing covering me. His hands moved swiftly to my erect nipples, causing me immense pleasure with them.I couldn't understand how my insipid body could react so quickly to Jack's affections. It seemed absurd to me to feel so at ease, yet I was pretty sure I wanted him not to stop.“Let me see your whole body," he asked very seductively in my ear, making my skin crawl with his warm breath.He set me free, trusting that I would not leave and I complied with hi

"The days by their side passed so quickly that I began to fear they might end without me even realizing it.We had spent too much time together, and I couldn't understand how we hadn't grown tired of each other, especially since we even slept together.Sometimes we'd have breakfast while watching TV, we'd do our grocery shopping as soon as we received our daily pay, and we worked at the same place, where I had to deal with flirty girls hitting on Jack.Meanwhile, Jack dealt with men who sometimes tried to flirt with me right in front of him, especially Cody, who still wouldn't give up on the idea of being with me.We seemed like a newlywed couple or something similar. Initially, labeling ourselves as 'boyfriend and girlfriend' bothered me a bit since I had never officially been with someone, as solitude had been my best ally for practically my entire life. But I had to accept it due to Jack's tantrums.His vibrant and lively personality began to reveal sides of him even more overwhelm

Over time, we learned almost everything about each other—likes and dislikes, weaknesses and strengths.But those secrets that couldn't even be mentioned remained buried deep within the earth, and I was sure they wouldn't surface for a good while. Not because I didn't trust Jack; I just didn't know where to begin with that dark story. Therefore, I kept it hidden deep within my memories, ignoring its existence.Winter swept through Ellijay mercilessly, and we hardly even noticed. As December arrived, snow mercilessly blanketed the town, freezing everything in its path.Nevertheless, people had made an effort to decorate the exteriors of their homes with colorful lights or plastic figurines, the opposite of us. We had barely put up a tiny tree in the middle of the dining room—only because Jack had bought it at the supermarket, completely ignoring my complaints on the matter.I knew he hated Christmas, not just because my birthday fell on the 24th, simply because it wasn't a holiday that

"Come on, Ryan..." I huffed, rolling my eyes. He couldn't stop teasing me even though I didn't live with them anymore. That kid always had to push my buttons; he was like a miniature Jack. "You know it's me.""Secret password," he insisted."Ryan!" I growled, giving the door a stronger tap, which reluctantly swung open, revealing the significant change he'd undergone in the last year I hadn't seen him.That silly boy was the oldest among those currently living in that orphanage, at thirteen. His tan skin had darkened a bit from intense hours of play under the sun. His coal-black eyes gleamed upon seeing me, and a beautiful smile lit up his face when he finally hugged me."Sister Lucy!""What other Lucy do you know?""I missed you!" he purred, leaving me breathless with the strength of his embrace."And I missed you too," I whispered, gently pulling away, under Jack's somewhat wary gaze at the young boy.Jack, not one to hold back, smiled back with a hint of displeasure. Seeing them di

After making sure everyone was dressed warmly to avoid catching a cold, we decided to head outside. Paul had the brilliant idea of playing a game with a deflated ball, the only one they had at the moment.With ten of us, the teams were evenly split. I led one team, while Ryan led the opposing team.Behind me were Camila, Katia, and Paul, while Brooke clung to my back like a koala. We dashed around, annoying our opponents, as they struggled to get us out of the game with their failed shots.Jack watched from a distance, at the foot of the house alongside Monica. They hadn't stopped talking about goodness knows what ever since I introduced them, which made me think they might be up to something, that fool and her.He seemed too serious for my liking, but at times when he gazed at me and our eyes accidentally met, he'd smile at me tenderly, instantly making me blush.Caught up in his seductive demeanor, the ball landed on my stomach, forcing me out of the game.I took a deep breath, tryi
