"I'm your husband now, Janice. Give me your hand, and don't do something stupid," Connor Hughes whispered those words that sent shivers down my spine, and I knew I was doomed for the rest of my life. I was supposed to get married to Carl Hughes, but his brother, the person I feared the most in life, showed up instead. Standing in front of the altar together, my heart pounded hard against my chest and the smirk that played on his lips made me regret ever playing a trick on this man. If only I could be given another chance to make things right, but it was too late. Just two weeks ago, I was happy, duping this man, thinking I was smart, little did I know that I would be tying the knot with him today as his wife. "You may exchange your rings now," My heart stopped beating as I watched him slid the diamond ring into my finger while having a deadly smirk playing at the corner of his lips. The ring felt like shackles of bondage, a promise of lifetime nightmares and miseries, something I wasn't sure I would ever be able to escape from. There were only two things involved. It was either I have a happy ending, or a sad one...
Chapter 1 Crazy Janice
Chapter 1
Janice POV
Seeing how pretty I looked while staring at my reflection in the mirror as I added make-up to my face, I couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips. Being pretty is something to be proud of, especially having a sexy goddess body as me. I'm not bragging, but I didn't really need anyone to tell me that I'm one hella sexy young lady. 5'8 tall, slim with round butt and full chest, long black curly hair, long natural eyelashes, thick eyebrows, sharp jawline, pointed nose, sexy brown eyes, sexy lips that men drools over, and a sweet contagious smile to compliment my look. This has been one of the reasons my client wouldn't stop going crazy about me.
Again, I was getting ready to meet one of my clients, a new one at that. Unlike every other random clients I have, this one was like a big fish for me. We met at the club last night and scheduled to meet today at his penthouse. I didn't get to see his face very well yesterday since it was in the night, but I could tell from the way he was dressed and from the expensive cologne that he was really wealthy, and trust me, I won't take chances as this was a big opportunity for me.
Once I was done getting dressed, I checked myself in the mirror one more time before I finally left the room and headed out to the roadside where I waited for about three to five minutes before I was able to get a cab that took me to my destination.
"You can stop here now," I said to the cabby just before we got to the penthouse I was going to, and he pulled over at the side of the road.
"Thank you," I said to him before he drove off, and I sighed briefly. I took my time to check myself out before I headed to the penthouse, showed the guards what my client asked me to show them, and was led into the house.
My mouth dropped open as soon as I walked on, and trust me, it felt like I wasn't on planet Earth anymore. It was literally my first time being in a house like this, and I couldn't help, but drool.
"Come with me," The guard that led me inside a moment ago said to me after he put a call through to someone, and I nodded my head.
We took the elevator to the fifth floor where we got off and I was led to a room. Since I was always confident, I didn't feel so nervous.
"Go ahead," The man said to me once the door rolled open, and I smiled at him before I walked into the large room, and the door closed behind me.
My mouth dropped open when I walked inside the room, because it looked like another planet on its own. It was thrice as large as my room. The bed looked soft, the room was painted in golden color, the curtains were also golden and they looked extremely expensive. There were two sofas in the room, and a king-sized bed to complement it.
"Where is he?" I mumbled as I looked around since I didn't see the person I was supposed to meet, and just then, the bathroom door opened and he walked inside. My heart stopped beating for seconds as I watched the most handsome man my eyes has ever seen in my twenty-five years of existence. Although I've seen him a couple of times on TV, but it was my first time seeing him in person. He was perfectly built with sexy abs, a broad chest, a chiseled face, a sharp jawline, long eyelashes, thick eyebrows, sexy lips, thick eyebrows, raven hair that was curled on his head, and when he raised his gaze to look at me, my heart dropped at the sparkles in his eyes.
"Why are you staring at me like that? I'm ugly, yeah?" He scoffed as he walked past me, pulling me back to reality, and I scoffed silently. I mean, how the heck could he even ask me that? Ugly? Hell nah!
"I'm sorry... I just got lost," I apologized to him as I turned to find him sitting on the bed.
"Hmm. Let's get down to business. I don't have much time to waste," He uttered with a smirk on his lips as he stared at me.
"By the way, you look sexy," He winked at me, and my heart almost stopped working.
"Let me introduce myself to you. You may need the name to moan later," He winked at me as he stood up to his feet and covered the distance between us.
"My name is Connor Hughes... Connor is moanable, yeah?" He bit my earlobe as he whispered in my ear, and my abdomen twitched as I felt adrenaline pumping hard in my body. Mr. Connor Hughes is the popular CEO of Connor Empire, a company that majors in modeling. We met at the club last night, exchanged numbers after we had a drink together, and scheduled to meet up today, and here we are now.
"I like confident women, you know what I mean, right?" He winked at me as he tucked the strand of hair on my forehead, behind my ear.
"That's the way to the bathroom. Don't keep me waiting and make it snappy," He winked at me once again before he went to sit on the bed, and I nodded before I headed into the bathroom.
"Don't lose focus, Janice. You know why you are here, right? You are here for something important, so don't lose focus," I slapped my cheeks lightly as I looked at my reflection in the mirror, reminding myself what I came here for.
After I showered, I walked back into the room in a white robe.
"So, are you ready now?" He was growing impatient as he stood up to his feet, and trust me, I wasn't surprised. All the clients I ever had were never themselves each time I was around them, and I wasn't expecting him to be an exception.
"I need to take my pill to avoid getting pregnant later. This is what I do always before sex," I said to him, and he slowly nodded his head.
"That's fine," He shrugged, and I nodded my head before I reached for the pill in my bag and threw it inside my mouth, gulping down some water afterward.
"Come here... I will make you feel good," I smiled at him as I ran my fingers down his chest, while making sure I pinched his nipple, one of the sensitive body parts of men, and he reacted to it.
He didn't fail to explore my body, holding my ass, fondling my boobs, and soon, we were on the bed with him on top of me, kissing me roughly as if his life depended on it.
The kiss was slowly growing intense when he suddenly pulled away from me and held his head as he winced in pain.
"Are you ok?" I gasped as I sat up on the bed.
"My head... I'm feeling dizzy," He slapped his forehead lightly, probably to keep himself awake, but I guess it didn't work as he ended up falling flat on the bed and dozed off.
"Wow! That worked pretty fast," I chuckled excitedly before I stood up from the bed and quickly got dressed. I searched the room for his valuables, and I was able to get a few jewelries, and some money from his cabinet.
"Shit! Where is this thing?" I mumbled frustratingly as I searched for his phone hurriedly. Getting caught here was as good as going to jail, and that was the last thing I wanted.
"Damnit!" I cursed under my breath when I couldn't find his phone, running my fingers through my hair. Just then, I heard the sound of a phone buzzing, and I managed to locate it.
'Mom' was displayed on the screen, and I glanced at him sleeping peacefully. Wait! Is that a peaceful sleep? I think I'm crazy. I watched as the call rang and ended. I tried to unlock the phone, but it needed a face ID.
"This is crazy. I don't want to get caught, please," I whined frustratingly as I hurried over to the bed and turned his face up. Although it took a few minutes, I was able to unlock the phone with his face. Went through his chats, and once I was able to find his chats with his assistant, I texted him or her.
'I'm done here, Lucas. Escort her outside' I sent the message to the Lucas guy before I dropped the phone and grabbed my bag, leaving the room afterward.
"Hi!" I smiled at the young man nervously as soon as I stepped out of the room since he was waiting for me there, but he peeped inside instead.
"Where is Mr. Connor?" He asked as he stared at me suspiciously.
"He is in the bathroom," I replied to him, trying hard not to stutter, and he slowly nodded his head even though he didn't look entirely convinced.
"Alright. This way," He finally led me away, following the same route we took here before, and soon, I was out of the penthouse.
"That was close," I released the breath I'd been holding unknowingly, before I picked race, running as fast as my legs could carry me, and soon, I was out of the street.
My name is Janice Ramos, twenty-five years old young lady trying to make ends meet. A jobless young lady that has yet been rejected everywhere I have been to in a bid to find a job, a jobless lady who now depended on men to provide for her poor family. That is who I am.
I finally stopped to catch my breath but then, I saw a truck driving in a full speed toward a woman in her late fifties at the other end of the road, making a call in front of her car. My eyes slowly narrowed in shock, and without thinking twice, I crossed to the other side since there were no vehicles around. Everything happened so fast that I didn't know how I ended up saving the woman as we fell roughly to the ground, and the truck collided with her car, smashing everything into pieces...
