TIFFANY Jake and I spent a little more time talking before we eventually said goodnight to each other.When I woke up the next morning, I thought that Jake would have probably left a message or called but he seemed to be keeping to his word as he did not bother to call or text me.I remained in the bed, feeling lazy and somewhat unhappy. I couldn't understand what was going through my mind.During the time I was with Jake recently, I had felt very happy maybe because I was hopeful that I would see Dass, but now that he wasn't around, I felt so alone, even in my grand parent's house.I only came out of my room to have breakfast and lunch and went back upstairs. Even though my grandparents were happy to have me, they seemed more interested in speaking to each other and that was still fine by me.When it was evening, my phone began to ring and I lazily picked it up, wondering who it was.When I saw that it was Jake, I became excited and answered the call, "Wow! See who finally made time
Tiffany dropped the bags she held in her hand as she screamed in excitement and threw herself into Jake's arms, hugging him tightly. "Jake, you're back! I can't believe you're back!" She kept exclaiming."Calm down," he replied. "You're going to wake your grandparents up."She panted for breath, "Why are they sleeping so early? it's just that you really took me by surprise.""Really? Am I such an amazing surprise?" He asked. She smiled, cupped his cheeks, and pulled his face closer as she kissed him.He led her toward the bed and said, "Sit down. I'm going to explain why I came.""But tell me, how did you get into this room?" She asked.He said, "Well, I flew back in, and came to see your grandparents. They told me you went out shopping and I knew you'd eventually get back.We shared conversations and I had dinner with them.After a while, they went up to their rooms but that was and I told them I wanted to surprise you. So they let me into your room and I locked the door from insid
Jake felt pain in his heart. Even though he knew that his time with Tiffany was short and that she was eventually going to end up separated from him, hearing her say it so casually made him hurt, because he had so much love for her in his heart.Their time together meant so much to him that he planned to treasure it for the rest of his life.But then, she saw him as a pastime and she didn't just keep it to herself, she told Paris everything and said staying with him would mean she was settling.As he walked back to the room, he sat on his bed and thought back to everything that had happened between him and Tiffany. After a while, he said, "No, I cannot do this anymore. I would only keep hurting myself. I've done my best for her....I've literally done everything I can for her. No matter what happens, I will help her meet with Dass tomorrow and keep my promise to her."After making up his mind, he lay on the bed.Meanwhile, when Tiffany's call ended, she began to think about what Paris
The next morning, when Tiffany woke up, she noticed that Jake was already dressed up. "Are you going somewhere?" She asked him. "Aren't we supposed to leave together?""I know," he replied. "I just need to pick up something at my mom's. I won't be long, just get ready and once I get back, we'll move.""Okay, I'll be waiting for you," she told him.As he left, Jake went to meet a lawyer whom his sister, Lisa, had recommended to him after he called her.He had the lawyer draft up a divorce agreement between him and Tiffany. However, the lawyer told him, "You won't be able to make it official until after a few months.""I know," Jake replied. "I just need the both of us to sign it, so that once the time arrives, it will be easy to make it official."After leaving the lawyer's office, Jake hid the divorce document and went back to the hotel. Tiffany was all dressed up and waiting for him.The two bodyguards her brother had assigned to them, Joe and Sam, were also ready and together, they
During the drive to the location where Dass was being held, Tiffany was quiet. She was in the same car with Jake, while Joe and the other bodyguard drove behind them.She kept turning to stare at Jake, whose eyes were on the road. Seeing that she was continually staring at him, Jake asked her, "Are you nervous?""Why would I be?" she asked back. "No, I am not."Once they arrived, Jake got down from the car, and Tiffany did as well, and they began to approach the house.When they got closer, Jake stopped and said, "There are fifteen men inside there, so you will be safe no matter what. Once you go in, the men will come out and give you privacy to sort things out with Dass.""Okay, are you not going in there with me?" She asked. Jake chuckled, "Come on, Tiffany. You know how this works, you both have to be alone with each other.""Okay, but can you just go in there and.....""No, no," Jake shook his head. "It's not right, Tiffany. You should go talk to Dass, and you two should do what
As Tiffany remained on the ground crying, she thought about all her moments with Jake. The same moments she had thought about for like a thousand times.When she woke up in the morning, she said to herself, "No, I can't give up like this. I need to tell Jake how I feel. Whatever happens after that, I will deal with it."She freshened up, got dressed, came out of the room, and told Joe and Sam, "You both shouldn't worry about me anymore. You can leave, I'll take it on my own from here.""Are you sure, Mrs. Tiffany?" Joe asked. "Mr. Jake insisted that we protect you.""Oh, come on. I'm not a child, okay? You both can leave."Sam and Joe bid her goodbye and left. Afterward, Tiffany took her things and boarded the next available flight to meet Jake. The moment her flight landed, she paid for a guest house, changed, and hurried to his company.It was almost time for Jake to leave work when Tiffany got to his company. She walked to the receptionist and said, "I'm here to see my husband.""W
Tiffany's eyes brimmed with tears but she wiped them as she wondered, "Why? Why would Jake think that I'm settling for him? He should know that if I don't love him, I will not come to him. Why wouldn't he even let me say what is in my heart?"She suddenly ran out of his office, still wanting to talk to him but she couldn't find him, and she had no idea where he had gone. She sighed, "Fine! You didn't listen to what I had to say today. Well, there's tomorrow, and there's next tomorrow. You have to hear everything I have in my heart before you make up your mind, Jake."After this, she left his company and began heading back to her guest house. Unknown to her, Dass was watching her from a car. As he stared at her, he recalled how he had been kidnapped and cuffed, kept by fifteen men, who said that his fiancée wanted to see him. But in the end, Tiffany did not show up and it made him even more angry. The men had eventually uncuffedhim and asked him to leave. But then, he had someone ke
Jake sat in his study, thinking about Tiffany.He felt very sad about the way things had ended for them. He knew that it was going to get harder for him,especially with Tiffany still trying to keep him close.Now that she had already gotten what she wanted, why couldn't she understand his feelings and stay away from him?She was only making things difficult. And as tempting as it was to stay by her side, he knew how it would turn out. He knew Tiffany better than anyone else. Judging by how much she loved Dass, if he began a relationship with her after hearing her confess to someone that if she ever ended up with him, she would be settling, she would hate him in the long run and then it would become more messy. They might even become enemies and his heart would not be able to take it.The lady in his office earlier, after seeing him back then at the ice cream parlor in London, she had returned to tell him that she still had feelings for him and wanted to know if it was possible for
