"I am Jordan's fiance"
Lilly couldn't believe her ears. It felt as if her whole world sunk down by the words that hit her hard like an enormous thunderstorm. She couldn't open her mouth due to the betryal she felt. *Why didn't he tell me about his fiance? Was is it because I didn't tell him that I was Jay Evan's ex? So was this all a revenge? Why would he bring me to his home when he already had other women in the first place? Or maybe is he using me just to make Jay jealous?* Many thoughts drived her crazy! She realised what brought her into a situation like that, resulting to a lump building up in her throat.
Lilly just gulped it off in a matter of seconds inorder to not give up, she spoke with a confident voice "Oh I didn't know about that because he never told me and it surely looks like he doesn't want to talk about his fiance I guess!" Lilly was little proud with her own comeback.
"How dare you talk to me like that! Just because he brought you here doesn't mean he is head over heels for you! May be he just pitied your awful condition and brought you here" Jordan's fiance spitted out the words while fuming with anger.
"Well Ms.whoever you are! I didn't ask your so called fiance to get me this job and to move me into his house. You are blaming the wrong person hun!"
Jordan's fiance's eyes grew wider on hearing about Lilly staying at his mansion " WHAT? You are living with him? *scoffs out of disbelief* How could he even bring such a fat girl to his home huh? Pst!"
"Well! May be he thought Pizza is way more better than shrunken soggy french fries like you!" Lilly chuckled with sarcasm.
Thats it, the other girl was flaring out and was ready to curse at Lilly "You -" But sadly she didn't get the chance to!
"Clara? What are you doing here?" Jordan was confused while Lilly didn't even take a glance at him.
"Babe is she living with you?" Clara annoyingly questioned.
Jordan didn't even refused to answer her and instantly replied "Yeah, She is! And don't babe me!"
*EHH? Lilly was puzzled about him being so mean to her. *Why? He don't like her?* she thought.
Clara wasn't affected by his words because she was already used to it. At the end of the day their marriage was forced and she clearly knew that Jordan neither liked the idea of marriage nor her. But he just accepted and got engaged to her because he couldn't go against his mother.
"How could you do this to me Jordan? Just because you don't like this marriage doesn't mean you have to treat me like this and that too infront of strangers like her!" She eyed Lilly with disgust.
"Who said she is a stranger? *holds Lilly by her waist* She is my GIRLFRIEND!" Both the girl's mind went blank out of shock. Lilly felt things which she couldn't even describe while on the other side clara didn't expect that coming from Jordan at all.
"And don't even dare to talk to her like that again" Jordan warned her. Clara couldn't handle the embarrassment anymore so she stomped out of that place making some annoying click sounds with her stilettos.
Anyway Jordan cared less about that. Lilly released herself from his hands and was ready to walk away realising she was still upset about him for not telling about his fiance, eventhough she had confessed her love for him. But before she could walk away Jordan held her wrist tight, halting her.
Seeing her eyes with full of hurt and pure jealousy made him wonder if she really loved him that much but still he couldn't ignore the fact that she was Jay's ex. Also the doubts he had in his mind about her being there for a reason but at the same time he needed her in his life, he wasn't ready to let her go at any cost.
Seeing her not even trying to look at him, he quickly pulled her into a hug. Lilly's breath hitched by the sudden movement that Jordan made but soon she relaxed. *Thump-Thump* Both of them could feel their hearbeats beating at a rapid pace due to the sudden contact in between them. Jordan noticed how her dainty body fitted perfectly into his arms while Lilly adjusted her head against his chest. It felt so comfortable for her to be in his arms eventhough she shouldn't! His ears turned red when she hugged him back. Keeping that aside he ran his fingers through her hair while comforting her ." Was she mean to you lilly? Are you ok?" He enquired with concern.
She was taken back by the way he informally cooeed her as just Lilly instead of Ms.Lilly. She hid her smiles and hummed at his question.
After staying like that for a few moments She stepped back from the hug before they would get caught by anyone of their employees. Jordan already missed her warmth, eventhough he tried to avoid it, his body was craving for to hold her tight again. He ignored it while trying to remind his brain that she was still Jay's ex.
He just shrugged everything and called someone. Within just a few minutes a woman in a descent attire walked towards them.
"Morning sir, Do you need something ?" the woman spoke.
"Yeah , this is Ms.Lilly and Lilly this is Ms.Sarah" Jordan introduced eachother not even caring to greet Sarah back! Both the women slightly smiled at eachother.
"Ms.Sarah she is new here so give her company and guide her about the work. She'll be your new workmate from today so you better take care of her" Jordan coldly spoke.
Sarah was amused by the way her boss cared about this new girl and it was all brand new to her. She finally smiled and said "Sure sir"
Jordan nodded his head a looked at Lilly "If you have any problem there feel free to come to my office anytime ok ?"
Lilly tried not to blush on hearing his words, she nodded at him while on the other side Sarah's mind was screaming, not knowing what was going on infront of her. *So Jesus finally sent the fire to melt this cold ice huh?* she thought referring the word cold ice to her arrogant CEO.
Soon he left to his office to continue his work while Sarah brought Lilly to the place where she usually works.
"Woah! Who is this new lady?" Seeing Sarah with a new a girl one of her co-worker asked.
"Guys this is Lilly, she'll be working with us from today and Lilly these are my friends Alex , John and Grace" Lilly threw a genuine smile at everyone.

Jordan's phone rang as the screen lit up showing the contact name 'Mom'. He wondered why she was calling him out of sudden and that too in the working hours because she would only call him once a few weeks or only if there was something very important to talk about!
He frowned out of confusion and then it hit him. CLARA! Remembering the incident that happened today. *Its been not even fricking ten minutes since it happened, she already called my mom tch! Such a crybaby* he thought.
He sighed and picked up the call. Before he could even say "Hello"
"JORDAN DEAN! Did you just bring a random girl home?" His mom was yelling on the other side.
"Mom she isn't a random girl!" He was annoyed by the way his mom called Lilly a random girl.
"Then who is she? And why did you shout at Clara? Is that the way you treat your fiance? " His mom bombered him with questions.
"Shout at Clara? When did I even do that? She is just making things up! Such a drama queen!" Jordan hissed in annoyance while carelessly spoke.
"Stop it Jordan! Is that the way I raised you?" She was more angry now.
"Well mom I am just following what you taught me. 'No matter what! We must get what we want and keep it safe so no one could ever steal it from us!" he dragged a proud smirk on his face.
There was a silence from the other side. His mom remembered how she had taught him the same lines back then to motivate him to reach his success. Never had she ever thought that her same lines would hit her back like a boomerang. "W-What do you mean?" She spoke with a little lower voice than before.
"I want her mom and I already got her, now the only thing that is left to do is to keep her safe with me before ANYBODY could even STEAL her away from ME!" ...
OHH MY HEARTU !?
