Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess
Chapter 222

"Ugh..." Josefina was at a loss for words.

The domineering kiss had rendered her speechless. Her body was pinned beneath him, immovable. Oliver's strength was overwhelming, as if he yearned to meld her into his very being.

Josefina's panicked eyes met Oliver's dark gaze. The bright lights in the room shone upon Oliver, revealing every bit of emotion in his eyes.

It was only when Josefina's breath began to falter that Oliver reluctantly released her. Cradling her, he whispered gently, "Easy now, time to sleep."

Josefina sighed, "This is my bed," she stated. The displeasure was clear in her voice.

Her strength was sapped once more. Josefina's only desire was to distance herself from Oliver. But there he was, right beside her, holding her close. His magnetic voice was laced with an assertive edge, "Your bed, my bed - it makes no difference."

The commanding affection in Oliver's eyes made Josefina yearn to escape. "Oliver, you can be so unreasonable."

He quirked an eyebrow. "And now it's your turn to be unreasonable."

Josefina was at a loss. She and Oliver were on completely different wavelengths. The communication felt impossible.

"Oliver, don't come here anymore. What if someone sees you?"

"Are you worried about me?"

Josefina was flabbergasted. She was clearly trying to shoo him away!

"What if someone sees? What will they think of me? Better you don't come."

"Don't worry. No one will see. Next time I come, you'll know about it." Oliver added, "I saw Lena sneaking off to the villa where your grandfather stays. I followed her quietly but didn't catch her meeting anyone else."

Josefina perked up, "Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?"

"No," Oliver replied.

Josefina began to doubt her suspicions, wondering if she had been wrong. "What do you think of Lena? You've known her for so long. You must have some insight."

"I don't pay her any mind. We aren't close, so I don't bother with her, and there's nothing about her worth my attention," Oliver stated with ease.

His intense gaze fixed on Josefina. "The person I care about is you. The only matters I attend to are yours."

Josefina was both amused and frustrated. Her hand was held by Oliver, and her waist was encircled by his arm. She felt almost powerless to resist. She couldn't shake the feeling that Oliver knew about her martial arts skills, since he handled her with such precision that she neither hurt nor could make a move.

Held in his embrace, Josefina couldn't argue and eventually drifted to sleep. Oliver, holding her close, also fell asleep.

As they both slept, Lena was wide awake. Pacing her room, she grabbed her phone and dialed a number. "I think I've been discovered," she confessed dejectedly.

The person on the other end chuckled softly, "So what?"

Lena's anxiety was palpable. "I'll be done for. Once the Harrisons find out, it's over for me."

"You won't be done for. What would I do if you were gone?" His voice carried the stillness of the night.

Lena, seated on the sofa, was restless. "It's all Josefina's fault! She's the one causing me all this trouble! If I just get rid of her, I can secure my place with the Harrisons."

"Let's find a time for me to meet her."

"Don't you go after her. If you're exposed too, what about our plans? I'll figure it out. I'll think of something."

Lena ended the call. The malice in her eyes was darker than the night itself. How would she eliminate Josefina?
