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
CHAPTER 73Brian's jaw dropped to the floor when he saw Jane standing at his door. First, he was wondering how she knew his apartment, because he was sure he had never taken her here before, and secondly, what the hell she was doing here, and even without notice, looking like shit.He shook his head and looked again, thinking that perhaps he had been hallucinating."Can I come in please?" Jane asked again."S-sure, come in, I was just..." Brian gestured to her to come in. "I'm more than shocked to see you here, Jane, are you alright?"Jane looked around his small modest apartment."I'm sorry for barging in this way. I looked up your apartment from the company's employees file. I had no where else to go" she mumbled. "Oh, its... it's fine" he stuttered, finally coming out of his reverie. "Can I sit?""Sure, help yourself," Brian nodded and passed her a throw pillow.Jane thanked him and settled herself on his sofa."Do you need anything? Coffee? Tea? Or do you wanna talk?" Brian pres
CHAPTER 74It was almost evening when Brian placed a hot dish of casserole on the table. He looked towards Jane who had been sleeping for four whole hours and he knew she had to wake up and eat.Something within him fluttered when he reached out to tap her. He paused, wondering whether he should just watch her beautiful form as she slept and wait for her to wake up on her own. He moved his hand to her hair and pushed some strands behind her ear. She stirred and opened her eyes."You should eat," Brian said, smiling down at her.Jane groaned and sat up. "How long have I been asleep?" "About four hours, you must be hungry, come on," he pulled her up and helped her to the table. "Do you wanna talk about what happened?" Brian asked after Jane took a spoon of the casserole. "I really don't mean to pry but I think it's best to speak things out sometimes.""I understand, Brian. It's about Caleb.""What happened? He didn't treat you right?" Jane smiled at Brian's sincere concern."Yeah he
