Broken to finding love Chapter 20: Embracing the future
As Jane walked down the stairs, she heard all her mom said to her father. She felt regretful. If not because of her, her parents wouldn’t be having this issue. “Mom,” she walked up to her mom took her hand, and led her to take a seat. She sat down beside her as she faced her father. “Dad, I know I was childish about my behavior some months ago, no matter what, I’m still the heiress of the Lockwood. I have to fulfill my duty as the heiress of this wonderful family. I don’t want my marriage to cause an issue between you and mom.” “If you want me to get married no problem, I will do anything for your forgiveness, and for the growth of the family.” “Jane, her mother called out to her with a choked voice. You don’t need to force yourself. Don’t worry, when the Banks family come here tomorrow, I will chase them away and tell them we are not interested in this fucking marriage.” Evelyn cursed as she reassured her daughter. “Mom”, Jane called out to her mother feeling touched. “I’ve ma

Jason and Evelyn exchanged a glance before Jason released his embrace. They both went to the front door to welcome their guest as the host and hostess. The Bank’s family drove more than five luxurious cars into the garage. They came down one after another, as they made their way to the front door. As the Banks family emerged from their vehicles, Jason and Evelyn stood tall, gracious hosts welcoming esteemed guests. Sir Edward Banks, Leonard's grandfather, led the procession, his imposing figure commanding respect. Reginald Banks, Leonard's father, followed closely, his eyes scanning the Lockwood estate with interest. Catherine, Leonard's mother, also followed with her younger daughter, Lisa clinging to her arms. Leonard himself appeared last, his gaze locking onto the Lockwood estate taking in the view of where Jane grew up. Tall, handsome, and confident, Leonard exuded an aura of quiet strength. “Welcome, Sir Edward. It's an honor to have you and your family here.”

Jane stormed out of the living room, Leonard following closely behind. As soon as they reached the garden, she spun around, her eyes blazing. “You!” she exclaimed, her voice low and furious. “Is it because you know I’m your fiancée that you saved me at the bridge that day?” She questioned him. Leonard's smiling face suddenly frowned, his eyes crinkling. “Would you believe me if I said I never knew who you were before saving you that day? I just got to know who you were the day you woke up at the hospital. Jane gazed deeply into his eyes, searching whether he was lying or not. “Why didn't you tell me after knowing? “Gosh,” she yanked her hair in frustration. I even stayed at your place for the past two months, and you didn’t bring this up. Why did you keep it a secret?” She sighed. Leonard shrugged. “I didn't think it was relevant. Besides, I wanted to get to know you better.” Jane's eyes narrowed. “Get to know me better? You're my fiancé! How could you agree to marry me witho

Leonard's lips reluctantly left Jane’s, as they turned to face the intruder. “Sorry to interrupt,” Desmond said with a warm smile, “but dinner is ready. Everyone is waiting for you guys.” “We will be right there Desmond, thank you.” Leonard grinned. Desmond nodded and left. Jane was shy about being caught by her brother making out. Seeing her shy expression, Leonard's frustration of being interrupted turned into a warm smile. “Let’s go.” He held her hand, pulling her with him. “Leonard wait,” Jane stopped, making Leonard also stop. “I think I should be honest with your family and tell them about my previous marriage. It won’t be nice if they later knew from somewhere.” Jane suggested. Leonard's expression turned resolute. “No, Jane. Don't tell them. It's our personal life, no one else needs to know.” Knowing that if his family came to know about Jane's previous marriage, the good relationship they seemed to have now, would turn sour. Even his grandfather forcing him to get ma

Hearing that mocking voice, Jane's smile faltered, her eyes narrowing slightly. Looking at the stranger through the dressing mirror, Jane had the feeling that Ivy is another bitch cooking up something. Lisa’s eyes widened in embarrassment. “Ivy, stop it. This is Jane, my brother's fiancée, and his future wife. By the way, Jane is not that young. She is 24, and Leonard is just 4 years older than her.” Lisa said angrily. By the way, my brother is in love with her, so this isn’t a forced marriage, and stop spouting nonsense. Ivy was so angry listening to Lisa. She thought with all the years she had been together with Lisa, no matter what, she should support her. But seeing her supporting this stranger in front of her, she boiled with anger. Ivy’s face reddened, her eyes blazing with anger. “You're defending her?” Ivy spat, her voice venomous. “You're choosing her over me?” Lisa stepped forward, her hands raised calmingly. Ivy, no, it's not like that. I'm just telling the truth.”

Ava, who had been watching everything unfold, couldn’t take it anymore. She had loved Leonard for more than fifteen years now. She once confessed her feelings for him, but he rejected her. She thought since he had been single for all this while, she felt he might like her too. Now seeing another woman in his embrace, she couldn’t take it. As she saw Leonard wanting to kiss Jane, she couldn’t help interrupting. Her shout echoed through the ballroom, “How could you, Leonard? How could you get engaged with her?” Her voice cracked, and tears streamed down her face. Jane and Leonard's kiss was forgotten as all eyes turned to Ava. She stumbled forward, her heels clicking on the marble floor. Suddenly, she lost her balance and crashed into a nearby waiter. The waiter's tray of drinks went flying, shattering on the floor. Ava cried out, clutching her ankle. “Oh, my God, I'm hurt!” Seeing Leonard still standing beside Jane, looking at her as if he was looking at a joke, a sharp pain

As the evening wore on, Leonard and Jane put Ava's dramatic outburst behind them, focusing on celebrating their engagement with loved ones. The party's lively atmosphere and warm congratulations from guests were a balm to Jane's frazzled nerves. Lucy, Jane's closest friend, couldn't help but empathize with her. “I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, Jane,” she said, wrapping her in a tight hug. “You deserve all the happiness in the world, and I'm thrilled you've found it with Leonard.” Jane smiled gratefully. “Thanks, Lucy. Ava's issues run deeper than I realized.” As the night drew to a close, Leonard and Jane exchanged relieved glances. They bid farewell to their parents and slipped away, eager to leave the drama behind. The drive to Leonard's mansion was peaceful. Jane gazed out at the city lights, feeling grateful and also doubtful at the same time. Is this journey I’m about to embark on in favor of me? She questioned herself. “We are home, Jane. What are you thinking,

Los Angeles, Wilson’s Enterprise. Wilson's enterprise was busy as usual. The only difference is that everyone is in a bad mood. No one talks to each other if it’s unnecessary. The atmosphere was heavy with unease, like a household where a volatile patient temper loomed. And why was that? It’s because their president was in a bad mood just like a volatile patient whose temper loomed. The employees had been cracking their brains about what happened suddenly. It’s not that the company was experiencing bankruptcy, so why? When was the last time their boss acted normal? That would be three months ago. ******** Teddy’s office. The sound of something crashing could be heard. Assistant Ian was trembling seeing his boss go crazy. When was the last time his boss acted normal?

Broken to finding love Chapter 58: What is it this time?
Singapore. Bank Group Headquarters. 10:00 P.M. At the top floor of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the Marina Bay district in Singapore, Leonard, who was sitting poised behind the expansive mahogany desk in his office, was a picture of refined elegance. His broad back was a testimony to his rigorous workout routine. His slender fingers danced across the keyboard of his sleek, shiny black laptop, the words flowing onto the screen with lightning speed. As he typed, the soft glow of the desk lamp cast a warm, golden light upon his chiseled features, illuminating the sharp planes of his face and the intense focus in his eyes. The city skyline outside, a dazzling tapestry of twinkling lights and towering skyscrapers, seemed to hum with energy, a subtle counterpoint to the quiet intensity of Leonard's work. Finally, with a soft click, Leonard shut down the laptop, his fingers stilled on the keyboard. He leaned back in the plush, black leather armchair, his eyes closing in a mom

Jason's grip on the phone tightened as he anticipated whatever the Banks wanted to say. He just hoped they hadn’t found anything about his daughter’s previous marriage.“Hi Jason, how have you been?” Reginald's cheerful voice echoed in the silent living room from the phone. Jane shifted her butts on the sofa impatiently.“I’ve been good Reginald, thanks for asking.” Jason tried sounding as calm as possible. Reginald's cheerful voice continued, “Great, great! I was calling to discuss the rehearsal dinner for tomorrow. We've finalized the details, and we are using the ‘fruitful palace’ restaurant. I will send the details to you later.”Jason's tense shoulders relaxed slightly as he realized the call wasn't about Jane's previous marriage. He glanced over at Jane, who was watching him with bated breath. He gave her a subtle nod, and her face relaxed, relief written all over it as she sagged back on the sofa.After speaking with Reginald for some minutes, the call comes to an end.Jane’s

“Dad, I’m telling the truth, believe me, Dad. I’m in love with Leonard. I would never call off this wedding.” Jane's hand was placed on her chest trying to make her father see her sincerity.Jason's expression was incredulous. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His daughter, who ran away from home just because of this marriage, was in front of him declaring her love for the same man she escaped. This is unbelievable.Jason shook his head, still trying to process what Jane just said. “Jane, I don’t know what you are playing at right now, but let me tell you, I won’t let you try anything stupid this time around,” Jason said, his voice firm. “You always hated the idea of getting married to Leonard and now? Jason took a step closer to Jane, his footsteps heavy, “what changed Jane, what changed.”The aura emitting from Jason was so strong that Jane took a shaky step back, trying to be as far away from her father as possible. “Dad,” Jane's shaky voice tumbled out. Though she was afrai

Jane smiled weakly, her hand on Desmond's own that was holding hers as she reassured him. “I'll be fine, Des. Don't worry.” She gently pulled her hand out of his grasp, giving her mother a small reassuring smile before following her father to his study.As Jane walked to the study, her heart was heavy with how her confrontation with her father might go. As she entered the study, she saw her father standing by the window, his back facing her. The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of sunlight peeking through the blinds. The air was thick with the scent of papers and ink, a familiar smell that always brought her back to her childhood memories of playing with her father in this very room. This was the first time she was entering his study after her disappearance. Everything was just as she left it.The study was cozy, revealing its masculine space, with dark furniture and grey interiors, burgundy carpets that muffled her footsteps. The walls were lined with floor-to-ceiling booksh

Leonard picked up the phone, his brow furrowed at the caller ID. Rachel, his assistant, wouldn't have called him by this time if it wasn't important. Leonard taps on the green answer icon on his phone before placing the phone on his right ear. “Yes, Rachel, is anything the problem?”Jane felt uneasy at the mention of that feminine name. She didn’t know anything about who worked for Leonard, so she didn’t know Rachel was his assistant. She tried covering her unease by playing with the button on Leonard’s white shirt. As Leonard listened to whatever Rachel was saying, his brow furrowed even more. “What do you mean the Heart project has been compromised?” Leonard's voice rose, his words sharp with anxiety. “How did this happen? The team that was handling this project, didn’t they see this coming?” Leonard roared into the phone as his hand which was caressing Jane's hair froze midair. Jane felt a shiver run down her spine. She hadn’t seen Leonard being angry before. It’s like he was dis

“Ahh,” Jane shrieked at the sudden spank on her butt. “Leonard, don't be so shameless.” she hit him on his shoulder as he walked towards her bed.“How did hitting my fiancée butt made me shameless huh?” He nibbled on her right ear as he placed her on the king-size bed. Jane's eyes widened in surprise as Leonard's warm breath tickled her ear. She tried to play it cool, but her cheeks flushed with excitement. “Hmm, her lips parted as a light moan made its way out of her red lips.After Leonard placed Jane on the bed, he stood up looking at her flushed face. Leonard almost loses control of his almost naked body. The silence between them was not awkward at all. Jane shyly gazes at Leonard's naked upper body. This was the first time she saw almost the naked Leonard, though they both slept in the same room every day, they respected each other.Jane's eyes roamed over Leonard's chest, her gaze lingering on the sharp lines of his collarbone. She felt a flutter in her chest as she took in the

“Jane?” Leonard whispered her name as he stared at her reflection through the bathroom mirror. Was she sleepwalking? He didn't think she would be waking up soon after all the drama earlier. The soft glow of the bathroom light illuminated her face. Jane, who was still oblivious that someone was in her bathroom, walked to the toilet seat and lifted her gown to pee.Leonard swiftly turned around, his gaze fixated on the little woman who hadn't realized he was in there with her. Jane lifted her pink nightgown to her navel region, her black panties on display giving Leonard quite a show.Leonard's eyes widened in surprise at her plump backside, he quickly averted his gaze, his face heating up with a mixture of embarrassment and desire. He stood frozen, unsure of what to do next, as Jane continued to prepare for her late-night bathroom visit.Jane, still oblivious to Leonard's presence, lifted the toilet seat and began to take care of her business.

Ten in the Night.Leonard parked his car quietly in front of the Lockwood main gate. Since it was the wee hours, he decided not to alarm anyone in the mansion. Only the security at the gate who opened the gate for him knew of his arrival. Leonard silently strolled into the Lockwood mansion, his footsteps silent as he walked down the dim hallway. He was impressed by the top-notch security placed around the mansion. If not for his kin sense of security, he would have been caught by one of the security devices installed around the mansion. He sneaked into the main house, walking straight to Jane's room. He wondered which room might be hers. He only knows the floor her room was, and not her exact room location. He had been there just once.He walked down the hallway wondering which of the rooms with numerous doors was hers. The full moonlight that seeps in through the window and the dim light in the hallway guide him on a pale path down the corridors. After a few minutes of walking, he f

“Jason, how dare you slap our daughter like that?” Evelyn rushed forward, standing in front of Jane, shielding her from her father's fury.“Get out of the way.” Jason, whose veins were still bulging at Jane's earlier revelation, warned his wife.“No, I won't. Had you listened to me two years ago and discussed her marriage with her understandably, would all this happen?” Evelyn's words tumbled out of her mouth not minding her husband's fury.There was a slight crease in Jason's eyebrow, but he didn't want to back down from this issue. “If you hadn't spoiled her so much, she wouldn't have made such a big decision without our knowledge. And did I hear you blaming me for forcing her into a marriage?” Evelyn's gaze shifted from her husband at his words.“Have I ever made a wrong decision for her? Who among the women in this country doesn't want Leonard? She is my daughter and I can't push her into something bad for her future.” Jason harshly shoves Evelyn out of his way due to his anger, m
