The Carrero Effect - Falling for the Boss (Billionaire CEO)

Chapter 112

The doubts I had about Jake in the past are dispersed with the strength of the look he’s giving me. His pain and heartbreak mirrored in mine, that same longing to have me as I have wanted him.

I think Jake loves me!

My world spins, the realization that everything I’ve felt, everything I’ve been so afraid of is right here in his green depths, staring back at me without hesitation.

I love him so much it hurts.

A pain so severe I think I may fall right here, my heart giving out under the pressure. His tall, strong body guides me, pulling me out of the room with my spiraling crazy thoughts.

He’s just as lost as I am as I slide my fingers around his neck, holding on for dear life, crushing one another with a vehemence so powerful it’s terrifying.
