Chapter 155: Briarwood Beauties
"Yeah, I get what you mean. Too much drama spawned from insecurities. But what if you really don’t love someone anymore? Won’t the soul bond just make it worse?"
"How would you characterize my relationship with Miranda?"
"Close? It’s obvious you care for her. And she is madly in love with you. It should have made me jealous, but it just made me worried you wouldn’t have room for me in your heart. Then you soul bonded me and I don’t have that worry anymore."
"And how do you think Miranda and I met?"
"Huh. I heard stories about her, and you didn’t seem like her type."
Jack described his encounters with Miranda in AP English and how he made a template of her so he could "collect on her promises".
"So... You made a copy of her, fucked her brains out, and then soul bonded her? Why?"
"Two reasons, she asked, and she can deep throat my cock. Worst-case scenario, I would have just banned her from my soul space and never talked to her again. What could she do? Plus, she has more social and political savvy than I or Madison, and I might need her family’s connections in the future."
"Is that why you care for her?"
"If the soul bond was strictly one way, she’d be my loyal fuck-toy. But the soul bond has an effect on me as well. It’s the only reason I’m able to forgive Madison, and it’s why I feel affection for Miranda."
"But what about that Isabella you mentioned? Do you feel affection for her?"
"No, not really. I think it’s because, while I tried to dominate her soul, I also kept her at a distance. So the effect is very strongly one way. I control her, and she has almost no effect on me."
