EPISODE 16
Jeremy continued glowering at the pretty witch bluffing. He thought they were going to get along. What the hell was wrong with her? Heâd asked her to say âthank youâ for what heâd done. Instead of doing that, sheâs here, bluffing. Saying she can ruin him. Sheâd forgotten he was a Broderick- mightier and richer than the Theodoreâs. His glowering face turned to a mocking laugh.
Why was he laughing? Purity lost her courage at once. Ah, her fatherâs enterprise needed help, the Broderickâs were willing to help only if she married their son. They were powerful. That was it! She said the wrong thing to the wrong guy. He had won. Stupid me, she cursed herself. Her pride. Her pride.
âDarling, Iâm waiting for you to ruin me. Please do.â he winked at her again.
The same thing happened. Her heart simply exploded. Dancing with happiness. She blushed fiercely. âOh, shut up!â she barked trying to hide her feelings.
In a blink, he grasped her arm and forced her near him. Very close. He held her tightly. Purity tried to make him leave her. She fought and fought till she got to understand that it was pointless. Jeremy was stronger.
She was panting. âRelease me at once!â her voice was weak, she was weak too. This man had exhausted her. What sort of devil is he?
Her command made him tighten his hold on her.
She regretted that.
What was she scared of? He smiled evily when he recalled that she had pleaded with him not to kiss her at her office.
âDo you want to walk home, tired?â
âNo.â she replied weakly.
He smiled. âGood. Do you want to share another kiss with me?â
Her silver eyes widened with shock. Her heartbeat increasing. She was somewhat excited and shocked. A part of her wanted to say yes, the other part violently resisted the temptation. She had wanted to act with the former but not vigor for that. She found herself resting her head on his chest.
âNo, Iâll bruise my lip.â she confessed.
âThen say âthank youâ.â
âTh-th- Thank you.â The words were strange to her lips. She usually said thank you whenever she felt like. And now she didnât. Sheâd lost. Surprisingly, she didnât feel defeated, she felt good and relieved. Wow. This was strange. She grinned to herself.
Yay! Jeremy had won! For a minute, he had just wanted to push her into the car and zoom off. He had gotten tired of the fight. He tried the very last thing on his mind and it worked. Thank the heavens. He had to admit, he loved her guts, but the bad manners, he hated. He grinned like a champion. âYouâre welcome, my lady.â He freed her, using the remote control, he unlocked the doors of the vehicle. He swiftly opened the door of the passengerâs seat. She hauled herself in.
He shut it, jogged to the other side, opened the door and got in. They both fastened their seat belts and soon, were moving.

âWhat hospital is your dad in?â Purity broke the unending silence. They hadnât said a word to each other after Jeremy had succeeded in making her thank him. She really didnât see the need of doing that. Sheâd just been quiet, looking out the window. The route they were taking was unfamiliar and she wasnât sure it led to a hospital.
âWas in Saint Mariaâs,â he answered without looking at her. He focused on the road ahead.
âI donât think this road leads there.â She was looking around this time, both back and front and out the window; peering into the road. âWait a minute, did you just say âwasâ?â
âYeah. I did. He was discharged this evening. Heâs home, thatâs where weâre going.â He refused turning his head to face her. He could feel her eyes over him. He was sure heâs receiving deadly stares. He chuckled within him.
âWhy didnât you let me know?â she queried.
âUm⊠It was, uh, kinda like a surprise?â
She sighed. âVisiting me in my bedroom, getting the latest cell phone for me, taking me out for dinner is enough surprise for a night. Donât you think so?â
He shook his head. âIts not. One more.â
âOh, and I forgot to add. The unexpected visit at my office? The scene you put up. You were actually struggling with my secretary? And you told her weâre engaged. Damn it, Jeremy. Iâve got enough surprises already.â
He chuckled silently. âLets see my papa and itâll be over.â
