Chapter 61 I Call Up Ignatz

Summer gazed at me with suspicion. "We're best friends, Rina. I wish my best friend wouldn't hide things from me," she said sincerely.I was moved by her concern and almost wanted to confess everything. The deal. The messy arrangement. The relationship Jethro and I shared. But what if Summer ended up hating me? What if she misunderstood the sort of person I was?In the end, I chose to hide the truth. "You're overthinking it. There's nothing going on between us. You know I'd never lie to you, right?"I put up a good show of calmness, but internally, I was a panicking mess. I struggled to maintain eye contact with her just to make sure I didn't look guilty. She finally sighed after a long, long time. "Fine. If you don't wanna talk about it, I won't force you. I just wish you'd keep your priorities straight, Rina. If Ignatz is the person you want to marry, then you need to show it. You need to put a wide berth between you and Jethro."I could tell that Summer had managed to piece to

Chapter 62 Summer Has a Relationship Crisis

I was still upset but also breathed a sigh of relief. "I share the same thoughts about our prospects, Ignatz, but I don't like being questioned this way. I'm serious about my commitment and setting boundaries."I would end my relationship with Jethro. We lived in different worlds, and our lives should’ve never intersected. "That’s reassuring to hear. I feel the same way too," Ignatz chirped excitedly and made his own guarantees.I forced out a smile. I had agreed to continue working on us, but the way he just questioned me had made him a lot less likable in my eyes. I wrapped up the meal as quickly as I could, made up an excuse, and left. I felt not even a lick of affection for him right now, but these things could be fostered given time. I was sure that if we started seeing each other more, I’d grow to be less repulsed by him. Hopefully.Ignatz wanted to catch a movie together after lunch, but I told him I was really tired because of work lately. I knew watching movies was one of

Chapter 63 In Bed With Another

Summer's devotion to this relationship was a major red flag.This was her first relationship.Everyone was a little less restrained in their first relationship as it was usually doomed to fail—which meant that if she found out what Claude was hiding behind her back…"You know what? I think all this speculation is doing you no good. I'm sure he'll be happy to bring you to his parents or meet yours when he thinks the time is right," I declared.I knew Claude had no intention of sticking it out with Summer till the end, but come on. She was close to being heartbroken right now. I couldn’t bear to add to it.Summer was relieved to hear this. It took quite a lot of reassurance on my part until she was finally placated enough to return to her room. I too went to my room, but my mind kept returning to what Summer had told me. I wondered if I should’ve told her about Claude's other girl. I debated with myself the entire night over this.In the end, I resolved to find out exactly what Cla

Chapter 64 Splashing Coffee on a Piece of Shit

"Don't tell Summer? You have the audacity to ask me to help you cover this up?" I snickered. "Listen, Serena. I know I made a mistake, but I didn't mean to. It was a moment of weakness! I'll change, I swear!" he said hurriedly.Unfortunately, I wasn't going to believe him anymore."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Hmph. It’s only been a few days, Claude. And I'd made myself explicitly clear that I'd never let you harm Summer in any way!" I thundered icily."No! I was seduced! I shouldn't have fallen for it! I know that now. I'll treat Summer right from now on, I swear! I won't hurt her anymore!" he swore and begged as he grabbed my hand.Disgusted, I pulled away. Liam at least admitted to his affair as soon as he was found out. This maggot had the audacity to beg me to cover his tracks twice.I leaped to my feet and roared to my heart's content, ignoring the rest of the cafe patrons, "Fuck you! I'm not covering up for your ass! I want my best friend to know just how mu

Chapter 65 Jethro Calls

"I'm here." Jethro said, then promptly hung up.That pissed me off. What the hell was wrong with him? What sort of person called someone only to give them zero chance to speak? I was upset enough that I decided to stand him up.…Unfortunately, Jethro seemed to have the ability to make me bend my rules and weaken my spine. Mere 5 minutes later, I began to second-guess my decision. He hated waiting, right? If I made him wait any longer, he would leave.I glared at my reflection in the mirror. "Damn you, Spineless Serena!" I snarled before leaving. A silver Cadillac was waiting right in the middle of the road. It was reassuring to see him still there, to be honest. Worse, I actually smiled when I saw his car despite myself. I walked to the passenger side but didn't get in.Jethro was wearing an all-black suit today which made him look even more aloof than usual. A pair of large shades sat on his nose, shielding his expression from my view. "What's up?" I asked, trying hard to soun

Chapter 66 The Partnership Will Last for Six Months

"Yes, I'm questioning you! Who do you think you are to go around investigating random people?!" I retorted hotly. Okay, I liked Jethro, but that didn't mean he was allowed to intrude on my privacy."Don't challenge me, Serena. My patience is limited," he growled, his expression darkening. "Stop the car. I want to get out.”Jethro was being unreasonable. I had no idea what he was thinking. He said we could go our separate ways when I had found someone else, but all he had been doing lately was walking back on that promise.It was driving me up the wall!He glared at me coldly and proceeded to floor the accelerator. Judging from the path he took, he was heading to his home."What are you doing, Jethro?! I said I wanted out!" I shouted and slapped the car door multiple times.I felt like punching him in the face. He was so hungry for me that he was not letting me say no. Why did I ever say yes to this devil's contract? My life would’ve been peaceful right now if I hadn’t. But I

Chapter 67 Beg Me

"Ridiculous. You actually think there’s a specific time for sex?" he drawled as his eyebrows went up. The desire in his eyes made me turn away. My heart quivered. "B-But there are other people in the house. Aren't you worried about being heard?""Wel, this is my house. In other words—so what if they heard us? If you're shy about it, you can just stay silent," he taunted with a lopsided grin. He approached me, his gaze intense. Those eyes were like an abyss that just kept sucking me in.I took a few steps back. "J-Jethro?"He scooped me up and strode upstairs toward his room. He set me on the bed and, without giving me even the time to breathe, covered me with his body. I stared at his face, which was now so close to mine, and felt my heartbeat quicken. This was far from the first time we had slept together, but I just couldn't help it.He leaned close to my ears and whispered, "Your body is mine and mine alone for six months, Serena." I frowned. I opened my mouth, ready to laun

Chapter 68 Play Along, Okay?

“Really? Acting like a puritan now? You knew how to play along before you met Ignatz, but now you suddenly feel repulsed?" His voice was cold. His desire had left him, and I could no longer see any emotion in his eyes. But it was him bringing up Ignatz that had fueled my anger. What the hell was up with him, going on and on and on about Ignatz today? Ignatz hadn't done anything against him, and Ignatz and I hadn't done anything together."We never had sex, okay? Ignatz and I aren't dating just so we can fuck each other. We're seeing each other for the purpose of marriage—unlike whatever the hell is going on between us," I rebutted.I might not feel anything for Ignatz, but he was at least a man who understood boundaries. We had been seeing each other for almost a month and he had yet to do anything remotely inappropriate. "And now you're defending him. Let me remind you—you're mine for the next six months." Men were possessive creatures, and when two competed for mates, they wo

Chapter 69 What Kind of Low-Cost Dinner Is This?!

The walk-in closet was filled with suits, shirts, and varying shades of black leather shoes. Did Jethro have any idea what casual wear was?I took one of his white collared shirts and put it on, since my own clothes were ruined. I couldn't very well possibly strut around his house naked, right? His shirt proved large and went all the way down to my thighs. I knew I looked like a fashion disaster, but anything was better than being naked.Jethro was sitting on the living room sofa with his legs crossed. Even from afar I could sense his natural-born air of elegance and nobility. He turned and met my eyes, and suddenly I remembered something—Jethro was a bit of a germaphobe. He wasn't going to be happy that I was wearing his clothes."My shirt is ruined, so I had to borrow yours. I promise I'll clean it thoroughly before giving it back to you,” I said hurriedly. He studied me from head to toe. I couldn't tell why, which only made me even more nervous. "Never mind. I'll go change,"

Chapter 70 Stay for the Night

I washed the dishes as Jethro watched me. I then asked timidly, "Now that we’ve had dinner…can I go home?"My real, honest opinion? No, I didn't want to leave. I didn't want everyone to see me clothed in his shirt. I can't deal with those implications!"I don't recall saying you can leave tonight. You can go home tomorrow.""That won’t do. I have to go to work tomorrow, and there’s something very important I have to talk to Summer about tonight," I protested.I had to tell Summer all about Claude and his two-timing ways. She deserved the truth—he didn't deserve her love, and she didn't deserve to be lied to.Jethro was unconvinced. "I'm heading to the office tomorrow, so I can drive us both there. As for whatever it is between you and Summer, it can wait till tomorrow."I frowned, exasperated. This man was a goddamn tyrant! "Jethro!"He started to look impatient. "Can you stop it? I bet it's not really that urgent. What's the rush?""But it is. It's urgent and important. I need
