CHAPTER 64Caleb woke Jane up by taking her index finger in his mouth and gently biting it.Jane stirred and her eyes fluttered but she didn't wake up.Caleb smiled, took her middle finger and bit it a little harder."Ow," Jane pulled her finger away and opened her eyes."Good morning, sleepyhead," Caleb smiled down at her."You bit my finger," Jane faked a pained look."Well you enjoyed it, didn't you?" "No one enjoys pain, you jerk.""Trust me, some people do. Come on, we overslept, do you wanna make breakfast or you prefer we check out the island's restaurant?" Caleb slid out of the sheets."I think we'll eat at the restaurant, I feel tired and I wanna go back to bed.""It's almost ten o'clock Jane, and the activity for this afternoon is surfing. Won't you want to see that?" "I can't surf, it's scary.""Yeah, but I can, and I'm sure you'll love to watch me," Caleb smirked.Jane rolled her eyes at him and he laughed."Get ready, I'll run your bath," he said and walked to the bathr
CHAPTER 65The island's restaurant was a warm and inviting atmosphere with romantic and exquisite design that could leave anyone awestruck. The sound of slow, soft music flowed from speakers that could not easily be seen.Caleb and Jane admired the beautiful artworks and framed pictures with love quotes written in them as they made their way to their table.A waiter walked to them and took their order of granola and yoghurt parfait."This place is amazing," Jane said and ran her hand over the linen covering the table."It's worth the cost," Caleb replied just as their food arrived. The garnishing of the food alone made them want to dig in immediately. The parfait had some banana slices in the shape of a heart."How did they do this?" Jane asked, holding up a slice."A banana in the shape of a heart, wow, and I thought my eyes had seen everything," Caleb replied with a smile."The garnishing is creative and very appealing, I wonder what their recipe...""Can we just start eating, Jane.
CHAPTER 66"No, no, no, no!" Jane screamed and walked towards them.One of the divers began to give Caleb CPR but there was no response from him."Come on, Caleb come on," Jane said, clasping his hand in hers.An ambulance soon came and the paramedics wheeled him into the back of the van."I hope he'll be fine," Jane heard Marcus yell behind her, the sarcasm in his voice was obvious.She ignored him and rushed into the car, sobbing."He's going to be alright ma'am," the paramedic told her."He's .. he's not even breathing.. he's just..." Jane stammered between sobs."Everything will be fine, ma'am," the paramedic assured her. Jane stayed at the waiting room for two hours with her head buried in her palms. When a nurse finally walked out of the ward, Jane quickly ran towards her."How is he? Is he alright?!""Calm down ma'am, he's alright...""Oh thank God!" Jane put her hands to her chest and sighed with relief."We were able to revive him, and thankfully, his vitals are okay. It co
CHAPTER 67Abigail paced around their bedroom, deliberately stomping her legs on the hardwood floor so the noise could wake Marcus up."Do you have a problem with you legs or something?" Marcus asked with a grunt."Yes!" Abigail yelled."We haven't done a single fun thing since we arrived and all you've been obsessed with is trying to ruin the week for Caleb and Jane!"Marcus sat up in bed and gave her an annoyed stare."We're getting back at them for trying to ruin our own vacation.""And how's that working out for us huh?" Abigail yelled. "You thought that drowning Caleb was a smart move but ever since then, they've clung onto each other like they're the only ones in the world! And look at us, what romantic thing have we done?""You complain way too much for a woman that brings nothing to the table," Marcus rolled his eyes."Excuse me? What do you mean I bring nothing to the table? I support your decisions, I stand by your side, I even agreed to your stupid idea of trying to ruin C
CHAPTER 68Lilian took one more look at herself in the mirror, adjusted her wig and then added an extra layer of red lipstick.She nodded in satisfaction, grabbed her purse and then headed downstairs."All the paintings are still dusty. Is this what I pay you for?!" She heard her mother's loud voice yelling at a maid."No, ma'am," the maid replied quietly."So clean it properly!" Rose snapped with a huff and turned back to continue flicking through her magazine. Her eyes then met Lilian who was all dressed up."Lilian, dearie, how are you?" She walked towards her and cupped her face."I'm fine mom.""Are you going somewhere?" "Yes. I need to catch up with a few of my friends, the driver will take me.""Oh, are you sure it's a good idea? You don't need to rest?""I said I'm fine mom! I'm sick and tired if you all treating me like I'm a dying person. I need to go out with my friends that's all!" "No, dear it's not like that," Rose tried to hold her hand."Whatever," Lilian rolled her
CHAPTER 69Abigail made her way through the noisy crowd until she was behind the waiter.Caleb and Jane were still too engrossed with whatever they were saying to themselves and the waiter was oblivious of how closely Abigail was following behind him.When she was sure that her aim would be accurate, she pretended to fall, bumping into the waiter. Some of the drinks on the tray spilled over Jane's dress, spotting the perfect white dress with red wine stains. Glasses crashed to the floor and the sound attracted the attention of the others.Jane gasped and looked down at her damaged dress. "What the hell!" Jane yelled, looking down at the ruined dress in disbelief and utter shock. "Sorry ma'am, I'm sorry, I must have missed my step. I'm so sorry," the waiter quickly apologized. The shock and surprise at the suddenness of the whole thing was clearly written over his face. He began to pick up the pieces of broken glass."Yeah, he must've, you can't blame the innocent waiter," Abigail sa
CHAPTER 70"What's on your mind?" Caleb asked Jane after he watched her repeatedly draw shapes on his chest with her index finger. It was just seven o'clock and it was the last day of their vacation."How could you tell there's something on my mind?" "You've been looking moody since you woke up and now you're teasing me with your finger. Or are you down for some hot steamy morning sex? Because I am.""Oh, God, no! Don't you ever censor your words?" Jane flushed and gently smacked his chest."You don't censor your screams when we're fucking.""God! Please stop," Jane closed her ears and Caleb laughed."I do like it when you scream though...""Ugh! You're disgusting," Jane started to move away from his arms but he held her back."Fine, no more talks about how sexy you are when we fuck. Let's talk about what's making you so moody.""It's just.. I really don't want the vacation to end. I've had so much fun especially with you and it just seems stressful to go back to our normal work rout
CHAPTER 71"Good morning to you all," Caleb greeted as he took the podium to address the board council. They needed in affirmation of his greetings while he adjusted the mic in front of him, with all eyes boring into him. It's a great pleasure to see you all once again. I want to thank you for your consistency, your hardwork, and your tenacity in maintaining the reputation of this great corporation while my assistant and I.." he paused and turned to look at Jane with a smirk. "Were on er, a very interesting and productive break."Jane tried to hold back her smile and Caleb noticed. Only the two of them knew that he didn't use the words 'interesting' and 'productive' literally."Well as you all know, our biggest rival remains Dragon Corporation and they've only gotten better because one of us decided to fall victim to their deceitfulness and sell out what is rightfully ours."A murmur erupted from the Board and Xavier only adjusted his tie with his gaze moving from Caleb to Jane."Fo
