“Zacharias, you’re a jerk,” cursed Shirley. Zacharias was stunned for a few moments before he chuckled in amusement. “Someone seems disappointed.”
Shirley got up, pushed him away, and went back to her room barefoot. Zacharias sighed wearily. He knew he was a jerk. He flirted with her, but he couldn’t finish the job. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to. He couldn’t, nor did he have the courage to. The more he loved her, the more he couldn’t bring himself to touch her. He didn’t want to hurt her. Yet, he couldn’t deny that she was deadly attractive to him. The most he could do to at least alleviate his desire was to flirt with her. Otherwise, he’d go mad with want one day.
Shirley felt refreshed after her bath. She lay on her bed, her mind occupied by Zacharias. His elegance, his regality, his confidence when he spoke, his imperturbable gestures… Everything about him was attractive to her. In the end, Shirley realized she was just a superficial woman who loved Zacharias for his looks and smoking hot body.

A message popped up on Imogen’s screen. She picked up her laptop and checked the text. It was from her mafia friend. They asked, ‘Nora, we’re out of jobs here. You got anything for us? If it’s a nice one, we can split the loot with you fifty-fifty.
Imogen stared at the message, somewhat caught off guard. Then, she had the perfect idea. She sneered as she texted, ‘I have just the thing for you. But I wonder if you have the gut to take it.!Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
