You Are The Trouble I'm In novel Chapter 3

It had to be said that this was a very beautiful woman. Earlier, when they were still in the dimly lit room, she was so frivolous. Now she looked like a sleepy, naive little girl as she stretched out onto the mattress.

Carefully looking at her, Jacob was rather impressed that she wasn't wearing much makeup nor did she have any sort of strong perfume on her.

As a wine connoisseur, Jacob's sense of smell was rather sensitive. It was easy for him to tell the different kinds of notes and flavors a wine had just by its smell.

But the cost of his talent was that he couldn't stand the heavy scents people were fond of putting all over themselves. Many women would add an extra spritz of perfume before approaching him, and it just drove him away even more.

The woman in front of him, on the other hand, only had a slight fragrance coming off her skin that was both natural and pleasant.

"Why are you standing there?" Armani mumbled as she opened her eyes and tried to sit up.

"I'm just thinking about what should I do next," Jacob stated.

"What the hell is going on? Why is this idiot even here? Are good-looking people nowadays just plain brainless?"

'Idiot?' The man narrowed his eyes and looked at the drunk woman in front of him. She had no idea what kind of man she had provoked. No one had dared to call him such a thing in his whole life.

It was an unusual situation for Jacob to face at the moment, and an incalculable look flashed in his eyes.

"Do you even know how to do it?" Noticing that Jacob didn't speak or move, Armani grabbed his collar impatiently and pulled him over.

With his handsome face so close to hers, Armani was left in awe. Then, she started to have some doubts whether or not she should continue with what she was doing. At that moment, she suddenly remembered the photo of Ben and Jessie making out in a hotel elevator. The anger in her heart surged up again in an instant.

Since Ben had betrayed her, she had nothing to lose at this point. Gritting her teeth, she bent over and kissed Jacob's lips.

It was so astounding for Jacob for such a beautiful woman to be so straightforward and initiate the kiss.

Her breath smelled faintly of the wine she had been drinking. As she pressed her lips against his, tears started to form in her eyes, making them look larger and more doll-like.

There was no way to explain the feeling of a broken heart.

"Why? Why did this have to happen to me?" Armani began to mutter. All of a sudden, Jacob felt a pain on his lips and instantly pulled back. 'Did she just...bite me?'

Armani suddenly raised her hand weakly and hit him on his chest. Shocked, Jacob held her in his arms to make her stop.

Seeing her like this, Jacob felt as helpless as he did when he was young and his mother was killed.

Squinting his eyes, Jacob raised his hand and gently wiped off Armani's tears. "If you're doing this for revenge, you have to stand up for yourself," he whispered in her ear.

"What?" Armani asked in a daze.

"I'm sure you'll understand soon enough." Then Jacob kissed her on the lips.

After a long sleep, Armani woke up with a splitting headache.

She stretched herself sleepily and tried to recall what happened last night. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and immediately sat up from the bed. She saw a man sleeping with his back to her. His body was covered with a thin blanket. Faint love bites were scattered across his shoulders.

'Did I...do that?' Armani slightly moved her body and felt a bit sore on some areas of her body. Blinking her eyes in surprise, she did not expect that she would do something so bold.
