Playlist: Bom Bidi Bom (Nick Jonas & Nicki Minaj)   Brielle   We closed early from work and drove to Jace's penthouse. I did not understand why he rescued me the other day from Mr. Giovanni. Am I his damsel in distress? I wouldn't blame him if he did. I wasn't exactly sure if I was the best candidate for a possessive relationship.   "I want you to sleep in my room today with me, but you're more than welcome to your room if you prefer. I get that I've just dragged you from the office earlier, and I know you're supposed to be with Hera and Ona today, utterly unsure of how you feel about me, but you are my world's greatest gift. "   My inner goddess couldn't stop rambling from what Jace just said. "Well, at least you didn't eat your nails, " my smile grew silent.   "I'll just put my bag in the room then, then we'll start lunch, " I smiled again inside me.  

PLAYLIST: WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN ( PERCY SLEDGE ) When a man loves a woman, he definitely won't remain the same; his actions, reactions, attitude, mentality, and many other things could experience changes. If a man is genuinely in love, the most beautiful woman in the world couldn't take him away; maybe for a few days but not forever. — Eva Gabor  Brielle Assessing myself in the mirror, Hera had chosen a nude glitter eyeshadow that wouldn't reflect on my skin, and it made my neon eyes look big glass and shiny; I was, after all, escorting Jace to see his parents, what's the big deal. Ona had chosen an effortless knee-length capped dress, black with a plunging neckline. It hugged my curvaceous body well, pairing it with black three-inch heels and a black pearl neckless. My large curls framed my face, preceding earrings and signature scarlet lips for losing flowing locks and less gl

 Brielle's POV  Jace and I were still in the underground laboratory. I felt like I was in a completely different world from the surface world. There was so much strange equipment that I had never seen before. I was moving towards a particle accelerator. It was actively smashing protons in rapid circular motions. I mused to myself as I read a sign. Warning: Particle Accelerator! Please do not stick your head inside a particle accelerator. It was pretty funny, the warning sign. It seemed obvious enough for anyone to know that they should not do such a thing. Although, I wondered why I now felt the curiosity to stick my head into it right after seeing the warning sign. I wanted to know why it said I should not. Was it dangerous, or what would happen if I did? "So you must be wondering why I brought you here, right?" Jace asked, pulling my atte

  Jace POV Earlier, I was supposed to go to work, but it turned out that the day did not go as expected. The moment I got up from bed, I did not feel as good as I used to. I fell right back into the bed. The sickness just came suddenly. After a while, the doctor I had called also came to examine me as I felt too weak to go to the hospital myself. He assured me that everything was alright with me.  He said I was experiencing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). I had never had that before. He said the treatment consisted of diet modifications. He asked me to consume high-sugar foods or drinks, such as orange juice or regular fizzy drinks, to treat this condition. Alternatively, he said medication could be used to raise blood sugar levels. I was expecting Brielle's call all day, even if it was to talk about something that went on at the office, but it nev

Brielle's POV I stepped out of the bathroom after some ten minutes of enjoying the water pouring down my body. I decided not to wear a single piece of clothing or tie a towel around me. Entering the room, I did not see Jace on the bed where I had handcuffed him to before I left for the bathroom. I froze feeling terrified. Then I felt someone touch me from behind. "Argh!" I screamed, jerking out of fear and assuming a fighting position, but then I settled down the moment I saw that it was just Jace. "Jace, how did you free yourself from the handcuffs?" He was standing behind my back dangling the cuffs in front of me with one hand, with a smirk at the corner of his lips. The other hand held a whip. I could tell that his eyes were burning with intense desire and lust as he stared down at my nakedness. "Brielle, it's your turn!" he said, his voice sounding hoarse. It did not even seem like the top
