Chapter 4 BLS 1 – Drastic Change

Jean Verodine

"Girlfriend?" His mother asked.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cost-"

"I m not Mrs. Coster anymore darling, my name is Adeline Conor" She smiled and I nodded.

"I m sorry, Ms. Conor" I said quite embarrass.

"Would you like to sit with us?" I asked politely and she patted my hand that she held since earlier.

"No, no. I m with my friends and we re going to visit my friend s house. They re waiting for me outside, I just want to see who s my son with because he has been so secretive these days." She said and I can t help but smile awkwardly.

"I was going to tell you soon." Blake acted and I wanted to kill him this second.

"Nice to meet you Jean, but I need to go. We need to have a dinner sometime." She said excited.

"Will do."

"That s great. I ll let you two have a nice lunch." She smiled and looked at Blake smiling widely.

"Bye mom." Blake hugged her mom again and she waved at us for one last time and left.

"Girlfriend?" I asked Blake in a really angry tone.

"I m going to rip your head off!" I took a deep breath and looked away to let down my emotion.

"Be my fake fiance, just 3 months." He said and that got me enough. I stood up from my seat and looked at him seriously.

"I don t have any appetite anymore, goodbye Blake, I hope you find a bride and please don t bo-"

"I ll give you anything that you want, you name it."

"I m not a gold-digger Blake, find someone who is willing to be your bride." I sighed and took my bag with me. I walked out from the restaurant but suddenly my body froze when someone stood in front of me.

"Hello baby." I looked at him in horror. My body froze and it was starting to numb.

"Jean" I turned to the back to see Blake calling me and I quickly walked back to Blake.

"Blake" My breath got hitch.

"Why are you so pale?" He asked and I turned back to that person again but I found nothing. He s gone, how did he know that I was here?

"What happen?" Blake asked but I still looked around me.

"Can you drop me home? NO, no! Don t drop me home, let s- let s go to your house!" I said suttering completely scared.

"Come on." Blake took my hand and pulled me to his car, I looked around to see if that man still there.

How did he got out from jail?

"Jean" I flinched hearing Blake s voice, I turned to him.

"Are you okay? What happen to you?" He asked and I just looked at him blankly. He opened the car door for me and I got in.

"Blake" I called him as he got in.

"Yeah?"

"Let s get married." I said because this is the only way that I can get protection.

"What?"

"Let s get married." I turned to him and he raised his eyebrow.

"Jean you jus-"

"Give me a house in Swiss or New Zealand or somewhere far from here after 3 months." I said seriously.

"Why a house? In New Zealand?"

"Do you agree or not?" I asked ignoring his question.

"I thought you don t want a house or things like that."

"When do you want to get married?" I asked and he looked at me suspicious.

"Are you seriously want to do this because you rejected the offer like 5 minutes ago? Why the sudden change?" Blake asked again.

"Let s make the contract tonight, I ll be your puppet and all you need to do is to buy me a house somewhere far."

"Why?" He asked

"I won t answer that, so deal?" I asked as I put my hand in front of him.

"Deal." He shook my hand but still looking at me suspiciously.

The whole ride to Blake s house was quite, I didn t want to start a conversation about this. My head was full about that man. I can t believe that he s out from jail. It s impossible.

"Jean"

"Yeah? I turned my head to him and he pointed something. I turned to see that we ve arrived at his house.

"Thankyou." I said and he got out from the car. I followed him and felt my body still shaking from earlier.

"Jean, are you okay?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, can I stay here for awhile?" I asked Blake.

"Yeah sure, I ll show you the guess room." He said and I followed behind him. I sighed bit time and can t help but imagining a lot of bad scenarios in my head.

"Jean, are you sure that you re okay?"

"Stop asking me that question!" I snapped and Blake looked at me confuse.

"Sorry but can you let me rest?" I asked nicely.

"Okay" He walked out from the room and I threw my bag on the floor. My legs went weak causing me to drop my body to the ground. I felt my body was shaking so badly because of the shock earlier.

I m in damn trouble
