No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Dwayne

“Clean the mess up and dig up everything about Jane Fowler.”

“It’ll be done.”

Jane got back as quickly as she could.

She pulled her laptop out and started working.

After two hours, she finally shut down her laptop.

Dawn had arrived.

Jane poured herself a glass of water,

Men like Hugh Croft would not be deceived by her fake identity.

Her identity as a sophomore majoring in computer science at the University of Oricle and the young daughter of the wealthy Fowler family…

She had to keep her sock puppet safe from Hugh and prevent him from seeing through her guise.

This was the only way Jane could stay safe.

She had gotten everything ready.

Hopefully, it will work.

“Please, no more nightmares tonight,”

Jane muttered to herself.

To her surprise, God answered her prayers.

She slept like a baby that night.

Jane woke up feeling refreshed.

“I didn’t get any nightmares and had a great rest. How long has it been since I’ve felt so rested?”

Jane pursed her lips.

Was it because of her encounter with Hugh yesterday? She had caught his scent.

Could mere contact with another person with Type Omega blood bring such miraculous results?

Jane pulled her phone out.

She had a text from Lila.

She also got a text from.

Hugh.

Before she realized what she was doing, Jane tapped on her phone’s screen and opened Hugh’s message.

[Thanks to you, I slept like a baby last night.]

Hugh’s message was straightforward.

Surprise rippled through Jane.

Was her encounter with Hugh why she hadn’t had any nightmares last night?

Jane felt a sudden spike of alarm.

She had intended to drag things out and stay away from Hugh. Men like him were dangerous.

But Hugh could stop the nightmares from plaguing Jane’s slumber and allow her to have some sleep finally Also, she was apparently doing him a similar favor.

Jane replied to Hugh’s text.

[I’ll consider your proposal.]

Nobody enjoyed having nightmares

But agreeing to a deal with Hugh on this would be akin to making a deal with the Devil himself.

Jane did not expect Hugh’s reply.

It was almost instantaneous.

[I’ll be waiting for your reply.]

Jane stopped herself from staring at Hugh’s text.

If she kept thinking about it, she would only get more confused.

She opened Lila’s text.

[Janie, there’s no class today. Do you want to hang out? Let’s hang out!]

Jane’s lips quirked upward into a smile.

[Sure. I’ll send you the address of where to meet.]

Jane sent Lila the address of the Porsche 4S dealer’s office.

She got out of bed, had a quick shower, and left the house.

She got herself a cab and reached her destination within minutes.

Lila was wearing a huge sun hat. She looked ready to spend the day at the beach with her white dress and sandals. She wore a bracelet on her wrist. Its bells jingled as she moved. She was adorable.

“Janie!”

Lily beamed and approached Jane when she caught her.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Lila walked up to Jane and stared at her with eyes glazed with adoration. “Janie, you look so pretty!”

Jane wore denim jeans, a white top, a thin black jacket, and heels.

She looked like a delicate doll with exquisitely painted features. Her fair skin was as smooth as a baby’s while her eyes were sharp and their gaze challenging.

Her eyes dazzled like the stars when she smiled and revealed her unassuming confidence.

Jane pinched Lila’s cheeks. “Stop with the flattery. My head’s going to swell.”
