As Kim tilted her head to the side, a soft, melodious chuckle escaped her lips. Her gaze remained fixed on Jason, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, Mr. Jason... It depends," she replied, her voice laced with a hint of intrigue. "This is indeed something... Unexpected."
To herself, Kim thought that she didn't have anything to lose anyway if she accepted Jason's proposal. In fact, it would aid her in her ultimate aim for revenge. A sly smile played on her lips as she contemplated the possibilities.
Jason's eyes narrowed as he watched Kim, his gaze intense and piercing. He seemed to be studying her every reaction, his expression unreadable.
Finally, Jason's lips parted, and his dark eyes stared directly into Kim's blue orbs. "You don't seem to disagree though," he said, his voice low and husky. "So I say it's official that we wed."
Kim's eyes lowered as she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "You sound like you're in a hurry." Jason's response was swift and decisive.
"I am," he replied, a low grunt escaping his lips. The sound sent a shiver down Kim's spine, and she couldn't help but wonder what lay beneath Jason's urgent demeanor.
Jason's eyes burned with intensity as he leaned in, his voice taking on a low, husky tone. "Let's be clear, Kim," he said, his words dripping with conviction. "I need you to bear my heir. A child who will carry on my legacy, and my name."
Kim's eyes flashed with a mixture of surprise and calculation, but she remained silent, waiting for him to continue.
Jason's gaze seemed to bore into her soul as he spoke. "In return, you'll get whatever power you desire. Want to rule beside me? Done. Want to wield influence and control? Yours. Want wealth, status, and respect? It's all yours for the taking."
His words lingered in the air like a challenge, a tantalizing promise that seemed to dance on the edge of temptation.
Kim's eyes narrowed, her mind reeling with the benefits of his proposal. She knew that she had to be careful, that she had to weigh her options and consider the potential risks and rewards. But as she looked into Jason's eyes, she saw something there that gave her pause - he looked a little desperate.
Kimberly's eyes locked onto Jason's, a calculating glint sparkling within their depths. She knew that she had nothing to lose anyway, that her current situation was precarious at best. The prospect of gaining power, influence, and security was too enticing to resist…
With a subtle smile, Kimberly nodded her head, a silent agreement that seemed to hang in the air like a challenge. "Very well, Mr. Jason," she said, her voice low and husky. "I accept your proposal."
Jason's eyes flashed with triumph, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. He extended his hand, his fingers closing around hers like a vice. "Excellent," he murmured, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "I'll have my lawyers draw up the papers immediately. We'll make this official, and soon."
As Kimberly's hand remained in Jason's grasp, she felt a shiver run down her spine. She knew that she had just made a deal with a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. But she also knew that she had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. The game had begun, and Kimberly was ready to play.
Desmond's eyes momentarily dulled as he gazed at Kimberly. He trailed his slender fingers around hers, accompanied by a low, smooth chuckle. However, Kimberly's reaction was immediate; she withdrew her hand with a noticeable frown, her expression a clear indication of her discomfort.
Jason's eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a sneer. He recalled her earlier admission in the hospital, where she had explicitly stated her dislike for physical contact with people. Jason found it intriguing, as this was usually his own stance, one that he used to maintain distance. Yet, Kimberly had uttered these words to his face, and now, she was resisting his touch.
Jason stood up, his movements fluid and controlled, accompanied by a small shrug. He was human, and the feeling of being ignored didn't sit well with him. Kimberly's behavior made him feel like she considered herself too precious for him. Jason was accustomed to a different dynamic; typically, all it took was a single word from him, and women would readily surrender to his desires.
With a subtle display of annoyance, Jason strode away from Kimberly, disappearing into one of the rooms within the expansive suite. The luxurious space was a sign of his wealth, boasting an array of amenities, including a gym, a sleek kitchen, and numerous lavishly decorated rooms.
As Jason walked off to one of the rooms, leaving Kimberly to ponder the condition of their peculiar arrangement. The sound of the door closing behind him marked a temporary separation, one that would give Kimberly time to reflect on her decision.
Kimberly blinked several times, her eyes widening in a mixture of surprise and intrigue. She rested her back against the chair, letting out a soft sigh as she attempted to process the absurd request that Jason had just made. Despite herself, she felt a flutter in her chest, a tiny spark of excitement that she couldn't quite explain. A small blush crept onto her face as she struggled to maintain her composure.
As she sat there, her mind began to wander, and she found herself comparing Jason to Dave. Her expression darkened, and a frown settled on her face as she remembered the betrayal she had suffered at Dave's hands. Her eyes narrowed, and a fierce determination burned within her. He would pay for his actions against her, oh yes, he would pay dearly.
Meanwhile, Helen's eyes slowly moved towards the room that Jason had entered. It had been about 40 minutes, and she wondered if he had simply left Kimberly sitting there, awaiting his return. Her curiosity was piqued, and she found herself watching the door, waiting to see what would happen next.
Just then, the door to the room swung open, revealing a dashing-looking Jason. He had just finished taking his bath, and water trickled down his smooth skin, glistening in the light. A small white towel was wrapped around his waist, accentuating his chiseled physique. Jason's eyes locked onto Kimberly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips as he strode towards her, exuding confidence and charisma.
