Chapter 354

• *IRENE*
• I paced the room with my teeth tearing into my fingers. I’d lost Jackson. It was annoying but I wasn’t too sad since he stopped being a prize the minute I got him. In the first place, he wasn’t my type but my mother had taught me to go for the man with the highest power, a man who could give me the security of a comfortable life no matter what.
• It was stupid of me to bring Todd to his house but unlike Jackson, Todd was a persistent man and since he found out my secret, he’d used it to blackmail me into having sex whenever and wherever he wanted. I was stupid to have ever loved a man like Todd but now that he’d ruined my plans, I realized I’d never even loved the bastard. Rather, I’d been infatuated with the thought of getting with a man who showed no interest in me, unlike other men.
