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
CHAPTER 72Jane staggered backwards and blinked rapidly in utter disbelife. "I'm s-sorry, what did you just say?""This is Caleb's son, Jeffery. Has Caleb not told you about us?""Us?" Jane asked with confusion and looked down at the child again. This time, she noticed the striking similarities between him and Caleb. He had the same ice blue eyes as well as the same brown hair with streaks of gold in it.Jane's heart shattered to a thousand pieces as she stood there, staring at the boy with a million questions flooding her mind. How could Caleb not tell her that he had a child with another woman all this while?Why did he wait for her to fall head over heels in love with him before he could tell her all about himself and his past?What other secrets had he possibly kept away from her? How had she allowed herself to be so swept off by his constant shows of care and attention to the point that she had not pressed to know about his past?Jane cried inwardly and did not know when a tear
