Jennie

Nichkhun drove us to their office in his black BMW. Lisa rode shotgun, and I sat in the backseat. The trees rolled past us. I watched as the iron gates slowly shut and the mansion turned smaller as the car moved further away. It was the second time that I was allowed to be outside of the mansion. Throughout the entire fifteen minute drive, I kept imagining Nichkhun stopping the car somewhere and throwing me out. Blame it on my trust issues with the family; I couldn't predict what would happen in the very next second.

Despite everything, he chatted with me like we were old friends, as if I hadn't been forced into marrying into the Manoban family. Let's not forget the time that he'd broken my legs or when he'd threatened me with a hunting rifle.

What a bloody psychopath.

I smiled while he talked to me about the company. I'd chosen a simple beige blouse over a pair of skinny slacks, matching them with cream-coloured pumps and a Chanel bag. My ears were adorned with a pair of diamond earrings that Bambam had given me as a wedding gift which had belonged to his mother, and he said that I should have them. I'd been too emotional to say anything. Being given his mom's jewellery meant Bambam had completely accepted me into his family.

I'd kept my attire casual and formal, looking every bit like the wife of a tycoon. I didn't want Lisa to be ashamed about my upbringing; I would never do that to her. So even though this new wealthy Jennie wasn't a part of who I used to be, I was ready to do what I needed to, in order to belong to her world.

Lisa was dressed immaculately in a white button-down shirt and khaki slacks that were snug over her delicious thighs and her ass looked perfect in it. I don't think that I would ever stop lusting over my spouse. Sensing that I had my eyes on her, she glanced at me from the front passenger seat and gave me that killer smile.

The car rolled to a stop in front of a tall building. I was just admiring the glassy design of it when the door opened. I stepped outside. Nichkhun tossed the keys to the valet and placed a hand on my back as he led me inside the building.

"Good morning, Ms. Manoban and Mrs. Manoban." A beautiful brunette greeted us at the reception. "It's so nice to see you here today. I'm so glad that you could grace us with your presence and..."

"Piper." Nichkhun cut in between, "Tone down the ass-kissing. We're going to the fifth floor for the board meeting. See that no one interrupts us. Hold all my calls. You know the drill."

"Yes, sir." She was still smiling, with no traces of embarrassment whatsoever.

I guess that she was used to Nichkhun's barrage of insults. The man could charm your pants off and still threaten to kill you. He was ruthless in every sense, and if Nichkhun didn't want Lisa to wake up, it meant that Lisa had him under control until she lost her memories and things went haywire from then on.

We rode in the elevator together. Several employees smiled and greeted me politely as we made our way towards the board meeting room.

Nichkhun leaned towards me and whispered, "Keep Lisa in line, you know how to do that."

"You don't have to worry. She won't be upset as long as I'm with her." I assured the psychotic bastard.

I was close behind Nichkhun as he opened the door of the boardroom for me. The board members all stood up and gave me a polite smile. I made my way towards one of the empty leather chairs in the corner since I'd assumed I would take notes today, but Nichkhun waved me towards the second seat near the head chair.

"Gentlemen, please meet the new co-chairperson of Manoban Enterprise, my sister-in-law, Jennie Manoban."
