GoodReadI woke up to unfamiliar surroundings.
After blinking a few times and remembering what happened last night, I realized I had fallen asleep in Jackson's presidential suite. Luckily, Jackson seemed to be gone. The only other place he could be in here was the bathroom, but the door was open and no light was on in there.
I touched my chest, pressing lightly between my breasts and letting out a sigh of relief. There were no signs of being kicked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been so long ago, but I'd feared Jackson would kick me. It had been horrible when he did it before, and the trauma from it crushing back last night.
But it was no wonder that I was afraid. After he'd kickedin the chest years ago, Jackson lefton the side of the road to die.

I exited out of Greyson's messages, then saw that Lila had also m nadalsoc om messaged askingto cinto the office and hand over my work.
