Trapped by My Ex's Love Curse

A Captive

Shienna looked deeply into Jun's eyes. She had no idea that was what he wanted. She knew he had a crush on her for a long time, but taking his best friend's wife didn't seem to be in his character.

There had to be something he was planning, and it was definitely to destroy Bryan. It could be that he had Bryan's ace in the hole and was so bold as to make an offer that Shienna never expected.

Shienna burst out laughing and pushed Jun's chest away from her.

"I never expected you to be so melancholy, Jun. You must not mean what you say, right?" Shienna looked at her beautifully manicured nails, then refocused on the man before her. "Don't joke with me, Jun. I don't like it."

"You still think what I'm saying is a joke? As you always did in the past." Jun snapped in annoyance. "Do you do that to Bryan, too? Has he ever told you that he loves you?"

Did Bryan ever say that? Shienna couldn't remember the last time Bryan had said that either, but one thing was for sure, she didn't need it because she knew the reason for their marriage wasn't love.

"I no longer think love is important."

"At least take it into consideration." Jun took Shienna's fingers and placed them on his chest. "I love you, Ashira, even for a long time. I've been trying to forget you all this time, but I can't. You're all I wanted until now."

Those words should have been sweet enough for Shienna, but they were not. She wasn't affected at all by Jun's confession. Because just like what Shienna had just said, her orientation was no longer love.

"Oh, please. Don't rush me, because I don't like that. Let's take things slowly," Shienna said. "And one more thing. I'm not too fond of physical contact or anything that leads to it. Especially if it's not of my own free will. Do you understand?"

Jun nodded weakly. Even if it weren't s*x that he wanted from Shienna, it would still be difficult. Shienna, with her seductive beauty, there was no way no man would want her.

Although she always seemed snappy and haughty, underneath it all, no one knew that Shienna was a fantastic person. At least, that was the case for everyone who knew her.

Unfortunately, not for Bryan. No matter how good Shienna's character looked before his eyes, to him, it was just an image.

Shienna padded into her room when they arrived at Jun's mansion. For the foreseeable future, Shienna agreed to stay at the man's residence. To ensure that Jun would not break his promise to not interfere with Bryan anymore.

She didn't care if Bryan hated her. Right now, taking care of him was all she had to do. As for taking care of herself, Shienna knew what she had to do.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Are you asleep?" asked a voice from outside. Shienna got up and opened the door. A handsome Japanese-Hispanic blend face was standing before her. "Would you like to have a drink with me? We can chat for a while. At least I won't feel lonely."

"Jun, I'm pregnant, so sorry. I can't join you for a drink," Shienna replied. "Besides, do you want me here just to fill your loneliness? Is that your woman still not enough for you?"

Jun chuckled at Shienna's pointed words. He looked into Shienna's eyes and caressed her smooth cheeks.

"Are you jealous?" he asked. "Listen to me. I'm not like your husband. He does have a strange fetish. Bringing women to his penthouse to stare at them naked before him."

It would be a lie if Shienna said she was not surprised by Jun's words. However, she did not want to take his word for it.

"Oh, really? So? What does he do when the women are naked before him? Does he masturbate? Or f**k them?" she asked. Jun shrugged.

"I don't know. It's a bit strange, but of course, I'm not watching what he does. A little information is enough. He never even penetrated those women."

Shienna froze instantly when she heard the other sentence Jun said. Was that the case? If it was true, why was it that night, though Shienna did not remember, that she was now carrying Bryan's baby?

"By the way, how do you know all this? Do you also have a fetish for peeping at other people having s*x?"

Jun was stunned for a moment by Shienna's question, then chuckled. "Do you think I'm that kind of guy, hm?" He moved closer to Shienna, grabbing her waist and pulling her close until there was no space between them. "I've never had a fetish or desire for any woman other than you, Ashira. And you must know that."

Shienna looked at Jun for a long moment before releasing the hold of the man's arms from her body.

"I don't know whether to be happy or surprised because the truth is that you made the biggest prostitution business and are now expanding for it. Right?"

"It's just a business, and it has nothing to do with my personal life. Besides, I got the idea from Bryan. He likes to book prostitutes, so he wanted the best product from a trusted agency. And you know who he trusts."

"Yes, until his confidant betrays him," Shienna sarcastically said. "Never mind, Juni. No matter what you do, it's clear what I'm saying. Not if it's not my will. Go back to your room; I'm tired and wanna rest."

***

Shienna could not bear to face this problem alone. She always shared with Jennifer whenever she faced even the slightest problem. This time, what she was meeting was not something she could say was trivial. She was dealing with a syndicate. Jun Hashimoto is no ordinary businessman. He will use any means to get what he wants. One of those ways is working with Bryan.

Shienna doesn't understand why Jun is so adamant about getting Bryan's signature as approval for his big project. To her knowledge, Jun has even more wealth than Bryan. So what was behind all this? There was no way Jun was doing it for money.

Shienna picked up her cell phone and dialed Jennifer's number to talk to her. She didn't have to wait long; her call was answered immediately.

"Shie! Where have you been?!" a voice called out on the other line. The woman seemed upset because she was worried about Shienna, who was running a scheme she never knew about. "You've driven everyone crazy. Do you know that?"

"I'm sorry, J. I have to do this."

"What are you doing? Why didn't you tell me?" asked Jennifer, sounding worried. She had to teach Shienna a lesson for making Bryan suspect her.

"Because I didn't want to involve anyone. This guy is a little crazy. Obsessive, to be more precise."

Jennifer had no idea who Shienna was referring to. But when she turned on the television, the news was about Shienna coming to L'Restaurante with a successful businessman named Jun Hashimoto. How could Jennifer not know the man?

Even the rift in Shienna's household began to emerge. They accused her of infidelity.

"Jun Hashimoto? Are you seeing him again? What's on your mind, b***h? You know that he's Bryan's rival. Why would you give yourself to that crazy man?" Jennifer gasped in annoyance when she heard her best friend's explanation. She didn't expect Shienna to be so desperate to go to Jun, whom she had avoided for so long.

Shienna sighed after lying down on the bed. Her body felt so tired. There was something strange about her feelings this time. It was as if something was missing from her life; she just didn't know what.

"I can't explain to you right now. One thing is for sure: I'll be fine. And please watch Bryan because I suspect something in his penthouse."

"What is it?"

"Don't ask questions yet. Just do as I ask. Pay attention to every detail of what's in his penthouse and who goes there. It's up to you how you do it. Maybe you can start working with Ray. He's very good at spying."

Shienna paused her sentence and seemed lost in thought for a few moments. She had no idea what she was doing right now. However, the images of Bryan with his wounded gaze, as well as Jun's words, were now endlessly playing in her mind.

"Shie... are you still there?" asked Jennifer, worried about Shienna's condition. Jennifer knew how intensely Jun Hashimoto had approached Shienna since she was still in a relationship with Bryan six years ago.

Bryan thought Shienna had left him because of Jun. Naturally, the man was born into a wealthy family. They owned a multinational company in Tokyo, and it was clear to whom they would pass on the wealth. It was natural for Bryan to be suspicious.

"Yes, J. I'm still here. I was thinking," Shienna replied and then remembered the one person she should be wary of. "That woman. Don't let her go unnoticed because I'm sure she has a hand in this."
