Resisting him Chapter 20
There are some things in life that no matter how hard you try, you don't want to accept. We know it's true, but apprehension doesn't let us believe it. The possibility of it being something so horrible, that just thinking it might be real is unacceptable, scares us. And now, looking at Pierre, I knew he was barely digesting this news. It's not every day that the simple owner of a small cafe says she's the heiress to a billion-dollar company. Pierre looked at me as if I had just spoken Aramaic. I looked at Adrian, who looked as nervous as I felt. He walked around the room and I just stared at the floor, wishing a hole would open up and swallow me. Suddenly, the idea of running away from here didn't seem so bad. "Are you the daughter of Frederich and Shelly Harrison?" Pierre finally snapped, an underlying accusation in his voice. - Yea. I replied, almost patting myself on the back because my voice came out strong. - He is sure? Pierre asked and I raised my eyebrows at him. He quick

- It is clear. he said, a little forcefully. “I had business, so I stayed at the hotel. I don't know where Adrian is…Jennifer too, mama…Yes, I'll call him and let him know if I know…Yes, mama…" Then his expression changed to horrified, which seemed a little comical. — I love you troppo, mama. As soon as Pierre cut the call, Adrian started laughing. Pierre looked at him, and I bit my lip and cheeks to keep from laughing too. The horrified look on Pierre's face was very funny. A laugh burst from my lips unintentionally and Pierre turned his penetrating gaze on me. His face went from stoic to smooth in a millisecond, taking me by surprise. “What happened then? - Pierre asked. Jenny asked her parents. Adrian answered for me. “Actually, she confronted them. And her parents told her that everything Frederich was saying was true. They were unable to have children and most of the adoptions they tried failed. When they were about to give up hope, the Harrisons entered the game. They just wan

“Take a deep breath, man. Pierre muttered when we arrived at Lawrence Manor. Our hands were clasped over the console, and I looked up at him, fear evident in my eyes. Pierre's dark eyes bored into mine. - I will be with you. And my idiot brother too. I managed a small smile, unbuckling my seat belt and getting out of the car. Pierre grimaced, but soon replaced it with a blank look I already recognized. And he hated it. As we walked to the house, a scene that looked like something out of a movie greeted us. Marta and Shelly were laughing and drinking wine, and a part of me wondered who in their right mind would drink wine at 11 am. They were all fake laughs, no doubt, sizing each other up. A high-pitched laugh snapped me out of my reverie. I wanted to run out the door I'd just walked through. — Ciao, mama. Pierre greeted and the eyes of the two women went up to us. Shelly assessed Pierre and under her icy gaze I squirmed. I had to admit, she looked fine. She was impeccably dressed i

Pierre's past? I looked at Adrian curiously, waiting for him to say something. Anything. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious about Pierre's past. I was wondering. - AND? “I requested when he refused to say anything. We got in the car and Adrian started driving while I waited for answers. Adrian shot me an irritated look at my insistence. “I can't tell you, Jenny. Pierre would kill me if he knew. I shook my head. We drove in silence until Adrian spoke again. "So... You know Dylan, right?" I raised my eyebrows. “Yes, he works across from my cafe. What about him? - He is gay. - Adrian stated. - I know. I replied quickly, not knowing where this was going. “And…” Adrian stopped before continuing. “He asked me out. He finished quietly. - Which? Adrian took a deep breath before repeating the phrase. Louder this time. “He asked me out. Oh my. Other? - Which?! I exclaimed, surprised. 'How did he know?' Since Adrian said he was gay, he was the one who usually asked guys out. T

Adrian shook his head at me, taking my hand and pulling me with him. The house was locked and Adrian went around, taking the key from under a rock. I raised my eyebrows as he opened the door. The smell of dust greeted us. This place looked like it hadn't been used in years. All the furniture was covered in dust and only a few pictures remained on the wall. I immediately made my way to them. Adrian started to say something about the construction, but I didn't have an ear for him. I was ashamed to admit it, but I was more interested in finding out what Pierre was like when he was young. I looked at a family photo that was taken outside the house, overlooking the lake. Mr. Lawrence looked proudly at the family as Pierre and Adrian dropped to their knees for Marie. I felt Adrian stand beside me, then a laugh escaped his lips. “Oh, I remember that. He laughed softly, as if reliving the memory. I turned to look at him. - AND? “Pierre and I were fighting over Mom. We always did. So my f

Insomnia? I looked at Pierre in shock, swallowing. I was speechless. What do you say when someone tells you they have insomnia? Laughing at him wasn't really an option, nor was asking if he was okay, I guess. “Uh…” I stuttered. - I need to go. Without waiting for him to respond, I fled to the bedroom. I was a coward, I know that, but I wouldn't be able to say anything. And I was an expert at getting away. The first thing I did when I got to mine was grab my laptop and type insomnia into the search box. “Insomnia is a sleep disorder where there is an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep for a long time. While the term is sometimes used to describe a disorder demonstrated by polysomnographic evidence of disturbed sleep, this sleep disorder is often practically defined as a positive response..." “You could have just asked me to tell you what insomnia is. I jumped when I heard Pierre's voice behind me. I turned around with my hand over my heart, and looked at him, stunned. Damn i
Resisting him Chapter 26
I moaned as his tongue found mine, dominating me. I wasn't an easily dominated person, but somehow with Pierre I liked to lose control. He made me want to lose control. He made me want him like I've never wanted anyone in my life. — Oh… Pierre. I said as his lips descended to my neck, making me arch my back, wanting him to take me completely. He nibbled my neck, sucking on it, making me lose the last shreds of self-control I had. My hands worked to unbutton his shirt, and I spread my palm across his chest, feeling the contours of his muscles. I traced a finger around his nipple, eliciting a moan from him. He flipped me over, causing my laptop to fall to the floor. I looked up in surprise, wanting to yell at Pierre. My notebook! Pierre didn't give me a chance to talk as his lips found mine again. “I'll buy you a new one. he whispered against my lips, and before I could protest, he kissed me in a punishing rhythm. I sucked in a breath as he left my mouth, making him smile at me. Pi
Resisting him Chapter 27
Pierre looked at me, stunned. - Are you sure? I shook my head. “I can't let anything happen to them, they're my parents. Pierre gently wiped away the tears and kissed my forehead. “Are you doing this just because of the threats, Jennifer? Don't let them get to you. “Can't you see what's going on here? “I almost yelled at him. “I don't want to become a stupid heiress just because I was born to them. I don't want the damn money! But they own one of the biggest companies in England and Frederich has been named lord! If he says he's going to destroy my parents, he will! By the end of my speech, I was exhausted and sobbing. Pierre didn't say anything, pulling me into his arms and letting me cry. Most. Suddenly he stood up with me still in his arms. He set me down, my hands instantly reaching out to touch his arms because I felt my feet shaky. “Go clean up, we're going out. I grimaced. - Where? Pierre gave me a dark look. “Just go get cleaned up, Jennifer. And don't w
