015 The Forbes Welcome
The grand annual Forbes family gala was already in full swing when Juliet's Bentley rolled in. The mansion glowed like a palace, with crystal chandeliers, polished marble floors, and tables adorned with tall floral arrangements. Guests moved between the tables, laughing and socializing, but the moment Juliet and Jack entered the hall, the atmosphere turned icy.Lydia, Juliet's mother, stood near the entrance in a shimmering designer gown. Her eyes narrowed the instant she spotted Jack in his simple black coat over the gray T-shirt. Cathy was right beside her in a short red dress that showed off her legs. Her lips curled into a smirk as she leaned over to whisper something to a group of aunts and cousins. The whispers spread like ripples."Who is that man with her?" one aunt muttered loud enough for Juliet to hear."He's dressed like he just came from a construction site."Another relative shook her head. "Juliet has lost her mind bringing a poor man to the family gala."Jack walked
014 Inside Job
Jack wasn't listening to Juliet's outrage and overlooked her impulsive strike on him. Although he momentarily enjoyed a delicious view of her cleavage, his eyes went to what he had just extracted from her dress.Jack stepped back, holding the small button between his fingers. With a crackle, he crushed it in his palm, cracking its shell open. Inside was a tiny black electronic device."It's a tracking device," Jack said with a raised eyebrow. "Your enemies want to monitor your location."The beauty covered her bosom with one hand and her mouth in shock with the other. "A tracking device in my dress? Who would do that to me? And how?"Jack chuckled and turned towards Elena. "Wasn't she the one who got the dress for you? How long has she been working at the company?"As Juliet turned towards her assistant questioningly, Elena immediately reacted to the accusation. "How dare you level such a vile allegation at me? I only purchased the dress, and then it went through the company's securit
013 Corporate Embarrassment
Juliet's heart slammed against her ribs at the sound of David asking Jack the question. She was terrified the latter would blurt out the truth right there in front of the cameras when she hadn't even announced him to the Forbes family.If Jack admitted that he was her fiancé, the whole city would explode with questions she wasn't ready to answer yet. Her grandfather would demand explanations, the board would gossip for weeks, and David would turn the incident into a full-blown war.Juliet shot Jack a desperate glance, silently begging him to stay silent like she had ordered him earlier.The young man didn't even look flustered. He rolled the magazine in his hand and gave a casual shrug. "I'm Miss Forbes driver," he said. "I'm her security guard, too, when the situation demands it."The plaza erupted in gossip again. "Driver? Is that the fiancé she was talking about?""Does the Forbes heiress have a secret relationship with her staff?"David Cross burst into laughter and then turned hi
012 Power Couple
As soon as David proposed to her, all the cameras and microphones turned towards Juliet for her response. It was a major celebrity moment that would dominate headlines for days.Juliet and David used to be childhood friends when the Cross and Forbes families were close. Their grandfathers played golf every weekend and acted like brothers, even jokingly promising each other that they'd unite their families through marriage. But instead, the two companies became rivals.Juliet took a slow breath and shook her head gently. "I'm sorry. I respect your gesture, but I can't marry you."David's charming smile stayed in place. He wasn't about to give up so easily. In public, the Cross heir had a sterling reputation for his business acumen, leadership skills, and flawless character.However, David's close friends knew the monster he was—a womaniser who preyed on young women as a hobby. He traveled the world, choosing his victims from among innocent, unsuspecting ones. Juliet was the one beast h
011 The Eligible Bachelor
Juliet paced her bedroom in a loose silk robe, waiting for the call to be received. Click!"Morning, darling," Jack's lazy voice came through as he had just woken up. "Are you missing your husband already? Did the bed feel empty without me?"Juliet's cheeks burned at his words. "Stop talking nonsense. I just woke up and saw something on social media. Explain yourself."She forwarded Selena Hart's selfie to him. "Is that you riding the bike? How do you know Selena Hart?"Jack paused for a moment and chuckled. That little minx somehow managed to sneak a selfie. Was she really that popular that even Juliet knew her? Anyway, admitting that he met a celebrity would raise a lot of questions."What if it is me? Are you jealous?""I am not your wife yet, and definitely not jealous! Just answer the question.""Relax," he replied, still sounding amused. "That guy could be anybody. My T-shirts cost five bucks a piece at the mall. Probably half the city's men own one."Juliet stopped in front of
010 Kiss Me
"My father's security team is scouring the city for me already!" the girl snapped. "Don't you dare touch me!""Are you dumb?" Jack replied with a chuckle. "Don't you realize I saved you from those rapey bastards?"The girl sat up, gasping and rubbing her wrists. "Did my dad send you?" she snapped. "What took you so long? I was almost—""Nope," Jack cut in. "Wrong again. As I said, I was just looking for the bathroom to drain the snake."She blinked at him the same way Dale and Cole did. "That's disgusting! Whatever! Wait outside. You'll get paid for your troubles, whoever you are."Jack shrugged and strolled into the tiny attached bathroom, shamelessly leaving the door open while using it. She snatched her phone from Dale's limp body."Hello? Dad? I'm fine, thanks to the paid goon you sent for rescue.""Selena? What are you talking about, dear?" her father responded in panic from the other end. "Our security team is still half an hour away, yet to find your location."Selena furrowed
