Moving from one abusive household to another, Skye is sold to a billionaire, Blaze, who carries the abuse forward, until...
Put in an insecure girl, a hot, sweet brother-in-law and a jaw-dropping, possessive husband.
Falling for someone who is hell...
I closed my eyes and thought about what I should do for a few seconds. The cool air hit my face as I opened my eyes, only to see Blaze, his date and his car gone. I let out a sigh and was about to make my way back in when I stopped and turned back around.
Why should I let them ruin my night? I will go and I will enjoy myself. I will meet new people and socialize. Plus Carter will be there too, and hopefully so will Jonah.
ok vision board
I went to the bus stand and got on the next bus. I was dropped a few blocks away from the office so I just walked it up. Upon opening the door, I was met with the cool air from the draft above me. I made my way to the now decorated conference hall, which btw I helped decorate.

I made my way through the crowd, I spotted Carter and Jonah talking. I made my way towards them but was stopped by Piper
"Stay away from what's mine you slut. Have some respect for those above you, I know you slept with him to get my job. Bloody lowlife. I'm sure that's your way of getting things your way anyway, who'd want you. Did you sleep with your father too? to make him get you what you want?" She said and walked away.
Tears formed in my eyes, but they became heavier when I saw Blaze and Piper getting extremely handsy. Piper slowly leaned in for a kiss, and Blaze leaned down too. Not wanting to watch more of their tongue tennis, I decided to leave. As I turned around, my eyes met Jonah's. Concern etched across his face and I twirled around, making my way to the bathroom.
I splashed water over my face and calmed myself down. I re-applied my make up, which I always keep in my purse for emergencies like this.
Come on shawty, you're stronger than his babe, you got this.
but, I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be
I adjusted my dress and smiled as I thought back to the encounter I had with Carter before I left.
flashback: I tried my hardest to zip up my dress but failed miserably. I decided to ask Carter for help before he left. He had to leave slightly earlier than me. I knocked on Carter's door, and he opened it immediately. He saw me and grinned.
"Looking good Blue"
"You don't look so bad yourself Carter," I said, looking at his bare chest. "Aye we have the same tattoo" I pointed out to the spider on his chest.
"We sure do!"

"Oh right sorry, I came to ask if you could help zip me up?" I said shyly, causing his grin to widen. He spun me around, and I felt his warm fingers run down my back before he moved my hair to the side and slowly did the zipper.
"I've been meaning to ask you, why do you keep calling me blue?"
"Well for one, your eyes are blue, and two, you make me feel peaceful and secure. The color blue also signifies kindness," He said as he finished zipping me up. He spun me around, making me face him. He moved my hair back and tucked a strand behind my ear. He looked at me and pulled me in for a comforting and protected hug, giving me a gentle peck on my neck as he buried his head in it.

"I know I'm not supposed to feel the way I feel about you, cause you know you're married to my brother and all, but I can't help it. Something just draws me to you." I heard him say against my neck. I wrapped my arm tighter around him before he lifted his head up to look at me once again.
We stood there holding eye contact, in each other's arms, for what seemed like hours before he eyed my lips, causing me to involuntarily lick my lips. He slowly leaned in, his gaze not leaving my lips. His lips were almost touching mine when there was a knock on the door.
"Sir? The car is ready" The man on the other side said.
Carter and I looked at one another before we bust out laughing. He let go of me and finished getting dressed. He came up to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, causing me to blush.
"We will continue this love," He said before leaving the room.
.....
I made my way back out, only to see Jonah standing across the door, against the wall in deep thought. I cleared my throat to get his attention and he looked up at me.
"Hey, are you alright? You looked uncomfortable out there" He said. I mustered a smile and nodded.
Someone called for Jonah before either of us could talk. He excused himself and I walked to the farthest empty table I could find. I took a seat and observed the people around me, I tried identifying them, but I sucked at it, so I decided to count how many women have gone under the blade for any kind of surgery.
I concluded that 13 had fillers, 8 had gotten botox and 19 of them had gotten a face reshape or lift. Before Jonah took a seat before me.
damn, that's a lot of people.
"Do you want to get out of here and get some real food? I'd rather not eat weird named dishes that taste even weirder, besides this is really boring" He said. I immediately agreed cause I didn't want to spend the night listening to boring men talk about business and their fake dates who were too young for them, get cocky.
We decided to go to Mcd, cause well it's the best. As Jonah reversed his car, I texted Carter, telling him that I was leaving and I'd see him at home.
A few minutes before we reached, my phone pinged,
carti b: ok cool, take care and be safe. I'm leaving too, I need real food, and this is literal torture😭
I laughed and looked up to see Jonah looking at me, with an unreadable expression on his face. He shook his head and parked the car. We made our way in and placed our orders. We took a seat at one of the booths. Jonah sat too close to me for my liking and lay his hand on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. My anxiety levels increased when he put his other hand on my knee. Luckily, the waiter came right on time with our food. He was a young guy with dark hair and brown eyes. He sent me a wink while he placed my food in front of me.
Jonah took his hand off my leg and dug in. I picked up the tissue paper and saw something scribbled at the edge. 'Call me' with a phone number. I looked around for the waiter who served us but I was caught by surprise when my eyes met Carter, who stood rigid with his eyes trailing on Jonah and me, his jaw clenched, to say he looked pissed would be an understatement. Just then my screen flashed, showing a message from the friendly neighbourhood jerk.
douchy mcdouchface: I'm sorry.
