Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 19

I quickly dismissed the thought with a scoff. Can a devil possess a heart of a man?

His earlier conversation with Zora had been packed with hidden meanings. He claimed Zora was threatening him? What could Zora possibly have against him? And why did he call her a liability?

There's more to this saying than meets the eye. But for now, he lay beside me, his intentions hidden. One thing was clear, however; my safest moments were when he was by my side.

With this in mind, I let my thoughts drift away and drifted off to sleep.

That night, maybe I was exhausted from crying, or perhaps because we were sharing the same bed, under each other's watchful eyes, all we could do was sleep. So, I slept soundly, waking up naturally.

When I opened my eyes, I felt more refreshed than ever.

Suddenly, a voice beside me said, "You're awake?"

Startled, I turned to see Jaylan lying next to me. He was propped up on his arm, watching me intently, his face was as calm as ever, as if we'd gone back in time.

At that moment, I realized I had underestimated him; he was quite the actor.

Blinking to clear my head, I wasn't sure what Jaylan was planning, but for now, I had to play along. I wanted to see what tricks he had up his sleeve.

"Honey, what time is it?" My voice came out hoarse, startling me.

He reached out to touch my face, "7 o'clock!"

I turned to face him, clearing my throat, "Aren't you going to work?"

They had always pampered and given me freedom, without any pressure. I was their pride, always excelling in studies, and even got into a prestigious university in Goldenvale.

My parents had planned my life after college - to return to Silverdale City and work as an educator. They believed that a steady job and a family were the ideal life for a woman.

But I wasn't interested in a conventional job. Instead, I was intrigued by their business.

During my junior year, I secretly started a medical device business in Goldenvale Town and made my first fortune. With my achievements, I convinced my dad to let me start my company in Goldenvale Town.

After careful evaluation, my father registered Medsafe Liyah Inc. in Goldenvale Town, making me one of the few people who owned a company before graduating from college.

Fate has a peculiar way of twisting things, and that's when I met Jaylan.
