It's been a few hours since Jaxson left me in his room, clueless about where he is going.After changing the damp clothes I was wearing, which I took from Jaxson’s closet without his permission, I ran out of things to do and was just dumbfounded in the empty space of the room. At this point, I really look like a prisoner in this large room.I also never saw Gunther again after what had happened in the pool earlier. Perhaps he is already sleeping at this hour as the night grows darker.A booming sound coming from my phone's ringtone broke the silence. I almost leaped in excitement as I frantically searched through my bag for it. This might be mom who’s calling me.When I finally got it from the bag, I nearly tore my lips apart with my smile, which grew even more when I saw Mom's name on the screen.I didn't waste any time and answered the phone right away. “Hello, mom!?” My hand instantly flew to my mouth as my voice grew louder in excitement. “Mom?” I called her name again on the ot

I shook my head to clear my mind of the thoughts that had been accumulating in my head, and just went straight down the stairs to their kitchen.I heard voices not far from where I was standing when I finally made it to the ground floor. I instantly rolled my eyes around, trying to figure out where the noises were coming from because they seemed like they were arguing.“Why is he going to the company tomorrow?”My feet quickly stopped when I recognized Daniella's voice. I slowly stepped closer to the corner of the wall to hide myself and listen to what they were talking about.“Of course, Jaxson won’t let me have Ruegold this easily. Especially since he already lost one to me. But, I’m not done until there’s more left in that stupid rascal. So, I will take you to the corporation tomorrow to accompany me. ”“But, Lance… Aren't you just making him even furious because of what you're doing?”“Exactly my point! That’s precisely what I want to happen. I want him to get sick of us and leave

Jaxson was in the front seat where I was standing, dumbfounded and seemingly deep in thoughts, as I was quietly finishing what I was cooking. I want to slap myself hard for the person I became the second I felt his lips on mine.It was as if I had just completely lost my sanity and myself earlier. Thank goodness, I woke up to reality before everything got even worse. I have no clue what is running on Jaxson’s mind right now. He was simply staring blankly at the empty space. I suddenly thought back to how he expressed regret to me after regaining consciousness earlier. I can't even explain how I felt when he apologized for kissing me. I feel like he thinks that's a mistake. Because of the shock that went through his eyes when he uttered my name earlier, I reckon he is completely unaware that I was the person he is kissing. I ladled the Chicken Noodle Soup for Jaxson as soon as I was through making it. Since what happened earlier, neither of us has spoken anything, and we've remain

Barely a few hours had passed ever since Jaxson had left me inside his office, and I was struggling to stay tranquil.Jaxson had told me that I couldn't attend the company meeting with him because it was solely exclusive to the company's shareholders. And since I'm not an official Madrigal yet, he asked me to stay here in his office until he is through. I even made complaints to Jaxson and persuaded him to bring me inside. But he grew irritated and made a point of saying that he already warned me I have nothing else to do here and that I can just stay at home, but still, I insisted on coming with him anyway.I'm helpless to change his mind and find another reason to let Jaxson take me with him inside because everything he said was true. He even threatened to have Gunther take me home to their mansion if I pushed him far too much. So I can't do anything but to agree and wait for him. At least, I'll be here later to keep an eye on Lance and Daniella in case they do something to Jaxson.

“How can I get pregnant?” Jaxson choked in shock and coughed incessantly after hearing what I said.“I mean, how did they get to the conclusion that I was pregnant?” I tried to clarify myself as it seems that he didn't appear to expect that question. “I don't think my stomach is huge enough to fool you into thinking I'm pregnant, is it?”It just seemed like what had happened previously flashed back to me, and everything that is happening now gradually made sense to me. “Wait…” I grumbled.“What is it?” Jaxson asked aloud as he instantly jolted from his seat. “What? Did you remember something? Are you really pregnant-”“No!” I snapped, interrupting him. “I'm not pregnant, Jaxson. Okay? How can I be pregnant with just a-” I came to a halt, unsure what to say because I don't want to remind him of our kiss.“Then what are you trying to get out of your mind?” He replied, with a frown on his face as his chest moved upwards waiting for my response.“Did they speculate that I'm pregnant afte
