Another waiter came up to Matt and Chloe and directed them into a private room. When the waiter left them alone, Matt finally let Chloe down. She felt so good being on her two feet again but also hated him for carrying her against her will.
"Look here, Matt! I am not your puppet! And I..." Chloe said, but stopped her sentence in the middle as the beauty of the room caught her eye.
The space in the room appeared partly cut off from the noise of the premier restaurant by a gleaming oval curtain, which seemed decorated with four-thousand-five-hundred sparkling fiber optics, which fell dramatically from the ceiling. The crystal chandelier in the form of raindrops made the room more glittery and romantic.
Chloe slowly twirled around, admiring the design of this room. Every single detail was breath-taking to her. She felt comfortable as the light reflected everything flawlessly.
"Do you like it?" Mat
It was finally the weekend, and Jackson had planned to stay in bed for the entire morning."Buzz!" "UMM," Jackson groans before taking his phone from the bedstand."Good morning, Steven!" Jackson answered between sleep and awareness."Morning, bro. Sorry for disturbing your beauty sleep. I know your night was pleasant since your wife was by your side last night. Ha, good time!" Steven stated in a cheerful tone.Jackson shifted to the right and gazed at Jennie's sleepy face. He pulls her hair behind her ears and smiles. She had not gotten a new phone, and he planned to pick up an original one that he had custom-made for her this afternoon since his schedule was free."I am glad you know that you are interrupting my sleep. It's Saturday, so why did you call me this early?" Jackson mumbles."Chris called me this morning. He stated that he had to take a brief tri
When Jackson got into the living room, he still felt this sharp anger running through his veins. The entire house seemed like a cage to him, his body was building up tension, and the stiffness within the air made him feel like he was slowly suffocating.At that moment, all Jackson wanted was to leave the anger and the pain at home and go somewhere else. So that's what he did. Jackson left the house, got in his car, and drove off.After a three-hour drive, Jackson found himself at "Twilight Beach." He packed his car, got out of the vehicle, took off his sneakers, and walked on the sand. The moment Jackson's feet felt the heat of the sand and the sunlight on his face, he experienced a sense of relief flowing through his soul.The beach was empty at that hour, and Jackson had the entire area to himself. He felt so amazing being one with nature as he buried his feet in the sand and gazed at the bright sun reflecting its ligh
Jennie grabbed the bag and opened it. She took out the box and removed the cover. One look at the phone made her burst into tears. It was a white phone with tiny yellow writings on the frame saying, "I love you."The loneliness in the living room made Jennie feel extra awful as she stared at both phones on the table. She only desires to own one, which is the phone Jackson bought. However, she could not reject the other since it will be at the cause of exposing her secret."Okay, Jennie. You can fix this problem. All you need to do now is to work out everything one step at a time. Let's start with a thank you and see where the conversation goes." Jennie told herself.Jackson sat at the counter, eating a hot bowl of noodles. He sensed a presence in the kitchen and figured it was his wife. Jackson lifted his head and gazed at Jennie for a short while before focusing on his food."Thanks for the phone, b
At sharp six o'clock on Wednesday, Jackson was ready to go for his morning jog. He hates to wake up early, especially in the middle of the week. But Jackson felt like his home was the last place he wanted to be, and a quick run would help clear his mind.Jennie had been lying in bed awake the entire morning. She had been experiencing sleepless nights for five days now. Jackson had not interacted with her from Saturday to Tuesday, and now it was Wednesday. Jennie knew today wouldn't be any different. She heard the guest room door open, then shut. Jennie was hoping to hear a knock on her door, but when she overheard the front door slam, her desires shattered.The light from the window shone into the room, and the wind blew the curtain open. Jennie put her bare feet on the cold floor and walked toward the window. When she looked outside, her heart ached as she watched Jackson smile with their neighbor before running toward the west wing of thei
The Yellow House felt more lonely for Jackson when he thought about his wife leaving home again when she had just arrived home weeks ago. Jackson did not know how long this next trip was going to take, but he only had to bear with her for one more year."When will you come back from England?" Jackson asked."I will be gone for a few days or a week but not a month because there are still some things I need to handle before coming home," Jennie explained."Okay, you can go on this trip since it is important for your job. You should also not stress. I am not mad anymore, and I will be here waiting for you to come home to me." Jackson assured her."I love you so much. I don't know what I did in my past life to deserve a husband like you, but I am glad that you fell in love with me." Jennie said. She then kissed Jackson before running upstairs to pack for the trip.Jackson took a seat
Working hours flew by quickly, and it was five o'clock on the dot. Steven and Julie had an afternoon date, so Jackson did not have to drive Julie to their residence.He arrived home and turned on the lights. As the house lights up, Jackson feels bitter inside. History had repeated itself, and Jackson was again a lonely married man who remained devoted to his wife.All Jackson always wanted was to become a man that his father never was and care about his family like his father never did. But sometimes Jennie makes it so hard for him to be that man. He has been so lavish with his wife, allowing her to do whatever she wishes and empowering her to get away with her bad habit. And now he wonders if things were going to be different if he had been a little like his father.He dropped his keys on the sofa and went upstairs to Jennie's and his bedroom. When Jackson entered their room, there was nothing but loneliness in his eyes
Jackson's car drove into the airport parking lot and stopped. He got down and slammed the door."Buzz!" He took his phone from his pocket and answered."Hey, Steven!""Do you really have to go, Jackson? I don't know, but I have this awful feeling in my gut that I don't want you to leave."Jackson rolled his eyes and smiled. He approached the glass door, pushed it open, and walked inside the airport lobby."Come on, Steve. You are not five. I will be back by tomorrow, and you won't have to miss me! Haha! I am already here. There's no turning back for me. I will call you when I arrive home tomorrow, okay?""Okay! Take care, man."After Jackson and Steven's call ended, Jackson dropped his boarding pass and baggage to their right for areas before he got on the plane. The flight took about eight hours from New York, where Jackson lived, to Eng
Floor seven did not make a sound as the couple gazed at each other. Jackson's eyes were red with hurt when he looked at Jennie and the baby in her hands."Is he Leon's son?" He said in tears and anguish."Hubby, I can explain. I swear this is not how I wanted you to find out. I tried so hard to get the words out and tell you the truth, but I couldn't dare to break your heart." Jennie cried.Now Jackson understands why Leon protected this mansion so profoundly and why he saw so many nannies inside the villa when he entered. It was the reality that the son his wife had with Leon resides in this mansion."Babe, please give me a chance to explain. It was a mistake. I didn't intend to hurt you this way." Jennie said with so much ache in her voice that the words could hardly come out clearly."This is not true. Jennie, I beg you in the name of God to tell me this is not real. Tell me y
