Chapter 1 Saved
- Third POV
- “Marie!!!” The butler called her name.
- She took a deep breath and took her slippers with her.
- "Yes, coming!"
- She walked downstairs with shaking knees, but when Jacob looked at me, they stopped shaking. She swallowed when she saw him drinking a glass of red wine and concentrating on his phone.
- He then turned his head and looked at her as she sat down.
- He opened his mouth to ask, "Are you all right?"
- "I ...I'm fine."
- "Please don't think about what happened to us a long time ago,"
- "Okay," She said as she nodded her head. Then she grabbed the fork and knife and cut the steak.
- She was eating her food when she noticed that he was looking at her. She used a napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth and then went back to eating.
- "Please...don't look at me like that...."
- He took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong with you, Eva? I'm curious about your past..."
- She shook her head and asked, "My past?
- "Nothing about my past is worth knowing...." She went on to say that the butler then filled her glass with wine. He says, "Calm down, that's not water," as his eyes widen.
- "I know…"
- "Your stepfather is having a great party tomorrow, and we're all invited."
- "What!" She said something quietly, and her hand was shaking.
- When she saw that he was curious in how she was acting, she calmed down and changed her face.
- "Do you mean you'll send me to him? Because I can't really give you what you want?"
- He asked, "What are you talking about?" and then his mood got worse.
- "I don't know, maybe you think I'm a failure because you brought me here and you don't think I'm the best woman—"
- "Shut up, Marie, and eat your dinner," he told her as he got up and told the butler to take care of her until she was done.
- Then he left.
- *******The Next Morning
- She got up when her alarm went off. She had to go to school for a meeting about her art project, and she chose a Bachelor of Art degree to make her feel better in the future.
- She quickly took a shower and ran outside to get a taxi, but someone grabbed her waist and made her stop.
- She gave him a quick look and saw that he was Arman. He was wearing a sharp black American suit.
- "I'll drive you to college..."
- "No, it's okay,"
- "Do as I said!" He said angrily, "You will only have half a day of school today because there is a party tonight." She bit her lower lip.
- She nodded her head, afraid that this could be the last time she sees him or goes to school, since he might send her back to her stepfather.
- She thought the driver would take them to school but she was wrong. "Take a seat in the front, I'll be your driver today."
- When they were on their way to school, Anna called her and said, "Hey."
- "Where did you get my number?" she asked with a frown.
- "Well, Mister Anderson's men give me your number. So today I have bad news! the art project is postponed!”
- “What?”
- "There's no teacher today. If you are on your way to school, it will be put off. Then tell your driver to stop the car and take you home." Anna told her everything and told her why.
- "Fine, I'll call you later..." She puts the phone in her bag and looks at Jacob, who has no idea what's going on. "Halt the car...."
- He looks at her and asks, "Why?"
- “I…
- "No school today," Jacob stopped the car on the side of the road, where there were no houses or buildings, just forest.
- "So I think we should go back to the villa," she said, blinking slowly as he stared at her intently, took off his seatbelt, and leaned toward her.
- She can't tell if she's going to breathe or not because his face is so close to hers. His dark blue eyes remind her of how deep the ocean is, and his red lips look like they would be so good to kiss. She should stop talking about him or she'll go crazy.
- "W-w-what are you doing?"
- "Can I kiss you?"
- "Huh?" Her eyes got bigger.
- "What would you like?" Then, all of a sudden, she realised he had given her a gun and told her, "Shoot me if I do something you don't like."
- Her hands were shaking, and she was having a real panic attack, so she closed her eyes as he leaned in to grab her shaking lips. Then, as their bodies pressed together, she closed her eyes and felt how he kissed her. It felt so good that she didn't want him to stop. She lost her grip on the gun, and he stopped kissing her.
- She opened her mouth so he could kiss her more. Then she saw how stupid she had been. This man just kissed her, but they are not even dating or in a relationship.
- "There's nothing else I want to know..." He said this, then went back to his seat, took the gun off his coat, and put it back on.
- She let out a sigh and wiped her lips clean. "About what?"
- "In order to find out if you really like kissing me..."
- "No, I'm not."
- “Really? You have no idea how much I want to touch you,"
