Marked Against Her Will Chapter 43 – Jealousy
“Jared, let go!” She called his name to make him stop and she was relieved when he finally freed her.He stood there in front of her, waiting for what she has to say. She’s within her rights to be angry and to scold him. Seeing his docile stance, Polly took a moment to collect herself.“Look, I have already told you that Ren is only a friend. He doesn’t like me.”“Don’t say his name.” He interrupted, making her frown.“What?”“Don’t say his name.” He repeated, maintaining his serious tone.She was rendered speechless by his request and looked helpless. “Seriously?”The man shrugged, “I would prefer it if you don’t say his name.”Polly pursed her lips, curious of something. “What exactly are you feeling towards him? Are you simply angry?”He raised an eyebrow at her inquiry and shook his head. “It was jealousy. You admitted before that you liked him. Whenever you’re with him, I couldn’t help but think that you still do.”Her lip twitched, “But I already told you . . .”She was unable t
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 44 – Gift
Polly frowned when she saw him like that. “Here.” She pushed the packet of snacks onto his hand and he instinctively held them. She was already eating so he did the same.“Are we going to continue watching them? I think we saw enough for one day.” Polly asked Sab and this confirmed his suspicion.Damn. It actually hurt. He felt a pang of pain over his chest. Sab glanced at him and smirked.“Alright. Those earlier matches would be your material. Analyze them again and write a report for me. I’ll collect them tomorrow.”“Yes, Luna.” Polly and her teammates all replied.“I’ll get going first. I still have plenty of things to do.”“Go ahead, Luna. We’ll be fine here. I’ll make sure everyone doesn’t slack.” Leo promised, making Sab smile while the others rolled their eyes at him.“As if we would dare.” Hana jokingly kicked his shin.“Ouch.”Jared had a thought. Since they’re not watching his matches anymore, he’s thinking of declining them. It proved to be difficult. The others provoked hi
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 45 – Kinder
She took out a small cup and asked him, “Do you want me to place two scoops of vanilla and top it with the remaining mango?”“That won’t be a weird mix, is it?”“It shouldn’t be. Vanilla’s quite universal and goes well with most flavors.”“Do that, then.”“Anything else?”He squinted. Would she want company as she enjoys her ice cream? Or would she want an extra cup?“Give me another cup of vanilla.”“Cool. Toppings?”“Whatever goes well with it.”“Alright. Here you go.”Jared paid and went out, hurriedly going to the pack house. He wanted to be early so he can go in and get out quickly. The ice cream would melt if he stays longer.When he arrived home, Polly and the rest have just finished their sessions. She arrived fifteen minutes later.“You’re here?”“Hmm. Do you want to eat dinner now?”“Oh, no. Did you get me some ice cream?”“They’ve run out of mango. I only got vanilla.”“Oh. That’s fine, too.” She’s a little disappointed, but still happy to have ice cream.She went to get th
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 46 – Expression
“We can have a one-on-one later. I’ll train with you. I just didn’t want you to distract me from your teammates. If you joined them, I would be more concerned about unintentionally hurting you. I won’t be able to focus on actually fighting them.”She was made speechless by his reply and her cheeks burned. Damn. He could actually say such things? They sounded sweet and he stirred her heart. Still, she didn’t like being singled out. It felt as if she’s the odd man out.He tapped her shoulder, hoping she would give him a response. When she still didn’t, he leaned over and pressed a kiss on her forehead. Her eyes widened and stared at him with her mouth open. What did he just do?“You . . .” She was stunned speechless.The bastard smiled, “Don’t be upset. I really didn’t mean anything hurtful by it. I didn’t mean to imply that you’re not as good as them, or that you’re incapable of fighting. I know you’ve trained hard and you’ve done well protecting yourself when I couldn’t. You’re a brav
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 47 – Mentoring
He cleared his throat and followed Leo.Polly took deep breaths, calming her racing heart. She approached them. The least she could do was spectate their match.Jared faced them. With a nod from Ren, the others went into their respective position. Polly was concerned. Jared should be familiar with every kind of strategy there was. She grimaced when she noticed the smirk on his face. She’s worried about her teammates.They began and as she watched, she pursed her lips, wondering how things would be different if she was there with them. Squinting, she thought of a goal. She would convince Jared to let her join her team’s challenges against him. Maybe he’ll give in if she’s persistent? He’d never been violent against her so she shouldn’t fear that he might react in such a way. The worst he can do is to yell his refusal in her face. She’d been there, so it’s fine.Sighing, she watched as Jared skillfully evaded everyone’s attack. Damn. It was already two minutes in when Ren finally manage
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 48 – Concern
Polly took a deep breath before replying, “Yeah. I’m fine.”She moved to place her feet on the ground and he helped her stand.“Polly, are you alright?” Hana shouted from above.“Yeah. I’m good.” She shouted back, but didn’t dare to look at her friend, sure she’s going to tease her again.“Be more careful.” His tone carried his concern and it made her look at him. His eyes . . . for some reason, her heart began to race. This feeling . . . was unfamiliar. She recognized the effect of the bond and she was personally annoyed by it.She moved away from him, which Jared expected. Seeing his sad smile, her heart ached a little. Why did she suddenly feel bad? What did she do?“There’s no need for you to go very high.”“It’s an added challenge, though.” She reasoned.“Move down a bit. That particular branch was in the way. It would be bad if you stumble on it again.”Polly stared at the tree, “If it happened to you, would you have been able to land safely? Even when part of your body hits som
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 49 – Personal trainer
After they were done with training, Polly felt different. For the first time, she felt it was all for naught. She wanted . . . something else. She wanted their training to matter more. She wanted to be stronger. She bitterly smiled as she looked at Jared. What are the chances he would actually help? Maybe he’ll just belittle her again. “Where do you want to train?” “Near our place? There’s no reason to go somewhere else.” Jared smiled at her use of the word “our” to refer to the house they’re living in. He’s glad that she’s owning it with him. “Alright.” Polly side-eyed him as they walked home. Jared noticed her expression and was puzzled. “What is it?” “Are you really going to help me train?” “Yes. What are you thinking?” She pursed her lips before telling him what’s on her mind. “You’re not going to use it as an opportunity to pick on me, are you? To prove I’m weak and to dissuade me from doing more trainings?” Just as he was about to ask “Why would I do that?”, he realized
Marked Against Her Will Chapter 50 – Awareness
“Rest for a bit. Here, have some water.” He picked up a bottle from her bag and gave it to her.“Thanks.” She sat on the ground but he remained standing. He saw a clipboard in her bag and borrowed it. No matter how good his memory is, he couldn’t remember so many numbers.When she felt better, she got up and faced the tree.“Seriously, stop when you can’t continue. If you pass out again, I’m going to kiss you.”She coughed upon hearing his threat. Uh, was it? He can’t be serious, right? But then again, he already kissed her, albeit on the cheek.“I won’t.” She promised and quickly began. She didn’t dare to get distracted.Jared maintained a serious expression until she went over the fifteen-minute mark. He was slightly smiling after that, still keeping an eye on her condition. Time still seemed to slow down. After a while, he audibly inhaled as he began to squint. As for Polly, she clearly heard his intake of breath. Was it a kind of signal? She thought it was so she counted to ten be
