Chapter 59 Chapter 59 In the car, the atmosphere was intense. Quinta had the urge to bail through the window a bunch of times. This dude’s presence was freaking scary. No clue how Jocelyn put up with him, let alone dated him and even thought about marrying him. It would be a nightmare, for sure. […]
Chapter 58 Chapter 58 The next day, Jocelyn tagged along with Quinta to the city hospital for a check–up. There was a whole laundry list of things to get checked out, so there was no way they were gonna breeze through it quickly. All sorts of tests and reports consumed time to process. While Quinta
Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Melvin’s week–long business trip came around, and Jocelyn couldn’t help but give Melvin a call. No answer. She shot him a text asking when he’d be back. While waiting for a reply, Jocelyn got a ring from Quinta. She’d just arrived the train station of Yanova City. Jocelyn gave Daisy the
Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Melvin wasn’t too pushy; he just wanted to wrap things up and head back home as soon as possible. That woman was getting a bit too full of herself lately and might just fell for someone else any minute now. He was thinking he’d still grab a gift for her on
Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Jocelyn and Harrison were chilling at a coffee shop, and Jocelyn was kind of squirming about how to ask for his Facebook ID. She had peeped his profile before, and it looked like his mobile number. “What’s your number?” Jocelyn asked, “Let’s swap our phone numbers. So it would be easier
Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Jocelyn was standing by Melvin’s side, pondering seriously, then replied, “Nah, I don’t feel like it.” Melvin turned to her, “Why?” “What am I supposed to do when you’re off on a business trip?” She had thought it through. She couldn’t always dance to his tune. You can’t spoil men too
Chapter 53 Chapter 53 After coming to her senses, Jocelyn was sprawled all over him, panting for breath. Melvin’s hand caressed her back, planting occasional kisses on her shoulder, “What did you want to say just now?” “Huh?” “You called out for me. Didn’t you want to say something?” Jocelyn didn’t lift her head. She
Chapter 52 Chapter 52 On the way back, Jocelyn felt a bit bloated in the chest and kept throwing glances at Melvin. Melvin touched his face, “Is there something on my face?” “Can’t tell how thick your skin is,” Jocelyn fumed. “If I had spent the whole night at the hospital, you gonna tell me
Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Jocelyn was half asleep when the buzzing of her phone vibrating freaked her out a bit. She reached for her phone and answered groggily, “Hello?” “Sleeping like a log?” The voice on the other end had a slightly creepy vibe. Jocelyn frowned, “Who’s this?” There was no answer. Something felt off
Tyrone slowly turned around, his eyes sharp as a hawk’s. “Acting?” James stuttered, “I mean that TV show role that got snatched away. Ms. Quintessa Young snagged.it again.” James had dug up the details; it seemed like a classic case of two dogs fighting for a bone, and a third walking away with it. But something felt off to him. He’d sent people to investigate, and it wouldn’t be long before he’d know the full story. Tyrone’s face was a mask of cool indifference, but inside, he was seething. Anytime Quintessa’s name came up, it set him on edge. A smirk curled on Tyrone’s lips. “Impressive. I underestimated her.” He thought that he could keep Quintessa under his thumb, and that she’d come crawling to him for help to boost her career if she had no connections. But she was craftier than he’d given her credit for. After all, for a woman capable of anything, even murder and mayhem, what couldn’t she do? Three years ago, when Quintessa was arrested, he waited for her to come begging. Instead, she walked free on her own terms. Now, three years later, he thought she’d lost all allure, but she’d only become more enchanting and more elusive. It was like a repeat of the past; he waited for her to need him, but she clearly didn’t. That itch in Tyrone’s mind, that restless agitation, was maddening. He felt like being the hunter on the prowl, while Quintessa was the elusive prey he was determined to capture. His dark eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “How did she land that role?” James confessed, “It went down like this: Miranda caught wind of Zenobia’s affair with Jerome. She went to Zenobia’s and gave her a piece of her mind, landing Zenobia in the hospital. The Young family applied pressure, so Zenobia’s role was scrapped. That’s when the director thought of Ms. Quintessa Young again.” After hearing the story, Tyrone scoffed, full of disdain. “Do you really believe she had no hand in this?” James replied, “Honestly, no.” Tyrone adjusted his tie. “Keep tabs on Quintessa, and book me a flight to Zion City for tomorrow.” James was shocked. Was his boss really planning to chase her down to Zion City? He wanted to advise against it, but seeing the fierce determination in Tyrone’s eyes, he wisely kept his mouth shut. “Understood.” That night, Tyrone was in a foul mood, but his childhood friend Alexander Harrington, usually abroad, called to say he was back in town. Tyrone: “I thought you settled in Serenitia?” 1/2 Chapter 80 “I’m back to find someone. If I succeed, I’ll return,” Alexander’s voice had a tinge of melancholy and regret. “Who?” “Let’s talk about it when I find them.” “Alright, I won’t pry. Since you’re back, let’s meet at Luxe Haven Club for a welcome
