Jane and Aaron stared at each other as they sat down in the hospital cafeteria. Jane was surprised at Aaron's earlier outburst. Was it a crime for her to be engaged? What if he knew that she was married before, would he lose his mind entirely?”

“So, you are informing me that Leonard is your fiancé, cupcake?” Aaron was still in disbelief. Had he paid much attention to the name Leonard sent him earlier, he might not have been this shocked. He always called her cupcake, so her real name wasn’t in his mind at all.

When he and Jane were schooling back in London, he didn't know that she was from New York, since they were always at each other’s neck, there wasn’t a day they discussed about their personal lives.

Jane warily looked at Aaron, before she nodded her head in agreement, still puzzled at why Aaron's mood suddenly changed.

Both of them went silent for a few minutes. The hospital cafeteria was filled with the sound of cutlery clinking on each other. Getting bored already, Jane stood

    Eric drove with speed into the hotel where his team subordinates awaited his arrival. He immediately turned off the car engine and made his way out of the car. Leonard also followed suit. They quietly made their way into the hotel room his men had forward to him earlier. Leonard didn’t bother asking Eric any questions. Whether he asks or not doesn’t change anything. He would know everything when they get into the room.“Welcome Director,” Eric’s subordinates greeted as they reached the floor where the room was located. Eric nodded, acknowledging them.“Where is the culprit?” Eric questioned as the door of the room was flung open.“He is inside, Director.” The subordinate answered as he followed behind Eric and Leonard.“Who the fuck did you think you are? Let me go!” That was the yelling Eric and Leonard were greeted with as they entered the room.Leonard's eyes widened in shock as he saw the man whose hands were handcuffed. The man that was in front of him didn’t cross his mind at a

    Three days later Leonard’s mansion Jane was seated on a sofa in the living room. The TV was playing a movie series that had become popular recently. Jane absentmindedly munched on the snacks in front of her. It was half past nine in the night, but Jane wasn’t feeling sleepy. Apart from the noise coming from the TV, no other sound could be heard. The maids had already retired for the night. The butler was with her minutes ago, not wanting to leave her all alone, remembering his young master's words. She sent the butler away with the threat that she was going to report him to Leonard for disturbing her peace, which finally worked. As she sat down there, the event of the day came back rushing to her. Aaron, who had been pestering her since their reunion, had always been present wherever she was. If she asked him, he would tell her that he was there before her, meaning she was stalking him Lucy was finally discharged in the evening. Her bandages had been removed. She was lucky

    Jane’s eyes freely roamed all over Leonard’s bare chest, drinking in the sight of his rock-hard torso, and his rippling eight-packs abs that were on display, after Leonard helped her take off his wrinkled white shirt. The dim light from the table lamp was enough for them to see each other clearly.Looking at Jane, whose eyes were drinking in the sight of his torso, Leonard felt a surge of pride wash over him. His regular visit to the gym had finally paid off.Jane's hands rose to explore his abs. Her fingertips brushed over Leonard’s skin, causing him to shudder to her touch, his eyes locked on hers. Seeing Leonard’s reaction to her touch, Jane became bold. Her hands started roaming freely all over Leonard’s body, teasing him mercilessly.“Ughh,” Leonard groaned in pleasure as his little fiancée was igniting a fire only she was capable of quenching.“Jane…,” Leonard trailed off as Jane’s hand went to his belt. He immediately caught her small hand, his eyes widening in surprise at how

    Jane woke up the next day in her usual spot where she always occupied. The only difference was that Leonard was lying beside her this time. A tiny smile was on her face as she looked at the perfectly made handsome man hugging her waist tightly, as if he was afraid that when he woke up, she would have disappeared.After coming from her high yesterday, she was so exhausted that she immediately fell asleep. She didn’t know what happened after that. Seeing that she wasn’t feeling uncomfortable or sticky down there, and noticing that her pajamas had been changed, she giggled happily, her hand hugging Leonard’s waist as she nestled into his arm, her mind filled with how life would have been so sweet, had she met this caring and lovable man earlier. This was the most peaceful night she had spent in a long week. Without Leonard by her sides, she wasn’t able to sleep well. Being held in his arms was the sweetest thing she had ever experienced. She hoped that their mornings would always be spe

    Jane, who wanted to stifle her laughter, wasn't able to hold it. “Ahh, Jenkins, you look like a comic flour-covered statue.” Her laughter became even louder, and her body shook from laughing.Jane was standing by the kitchen counter, her palm covering her mouth as she laughed out loud. She tried controlling herself, but she couldn’t. On her left was Butler Jenkins, who was covered in white powder. This was the scene Leonard saw the moment he entered the kitchen. It turns out that three minutes ago, Jane was reaching for the flour in the cupboard, but her hand wasn’t reaching the height of the cupboard. Butler Jenkins volunteered to help. Who knew that his hand would mistakenly slip, and the bag of floor came crashing on his head.Jane was also affected, but it wasn’t as much as butler Jenkins.“Young madam, stop making fun of me. I’m in this mess because I tried to help you. Jenkins sighed, feeling wrong. He should have known that Jane’s visit to the kitchen this early morning was n

    A day before the wedding.A resounding slap echoed through the room as Teddy slapped one of his men, who were lined up in front of him.“You fool! How dare you give me fake information? I’ve been here for more than two days, and I haven’t met Jane. Are you playing with me?” Teddy took a long stride towards the sofa and sat down, still seething with anger.“Mr Wilson, I didn’t lie to you. I swear, I saw the woman you have been looking for. I sent you her pictures also. The pictures can serve as proof that I wouldn’t dare lie to you.” The man immediately went on his knees, begging not to be dismissed. He couldn’t afford to leave Teddy’s team.Teddy knew the man was not lying because he had sent her Jane’s pictures at the airport that day. He had seen her lonely figure with a worried look on her face. He had wanted to rush over to the hospital, pulled her in a tight hug, and reassure her that whatever the problem might be, everything would be fine.Who knew the moment he reached the hos

On reaching the entrance of the room, he could hear the merry going on in the room.As Aaron pushed the door open, all eyes turned in his direction. Leonard, who was seated on a couch, surrounded by his friends grinned widely as he saw Aaron.“Hey man! You really made it. I thought you won’t be coming.” Leonard raised his glass at Aaron’s direction, a small smile formed at the corner of his lips. Leonard knew that Aaron doesn’t like gathering like this. He had invited him to make up the number. Who Knew he would actually honor him with his presence.Aaron walked to an empty space not far from Leonard and sat down. His eyes scanned all over the room, but the person he was looking for wasn’t in here.Other

    “Hey cupcake, we meet again.” Aaron flashes Jane a flirty smile, not minding that Leonard was there looking at them.Jane frowned at Aaron's mischief. Out of all the people she expected Leonard to introduce to her, she wouldn’t in her wildest dream have connected Aaron as someone Leonard would know. Their personalities were like parallel lines that would never meet.“You can’t call me that, Aaron. We are not kids anymore.” Jane rolled her eyes at him, not liking how Aaron was addressing her in front of Leonard and the others.Everyone in the room was stupefied at the scene.

He wanted to push him away and retaliate, but Leonard didn’t give him the chance.Jane rushed out of the car immediately after she got back her strength. She circled the car and ran towards Leonard. Although she enjoyed how Leonard was teaching Teddy a lesson, she couldn’t stand and watch Leonard kill someone.“Leonard, that’s enough!” Jane yelled at the top of her voice, but it seems like Leonard didn’t hear her at all. He continued his assault on Teddy, whose face was already swollen, with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.As Jane saw that Leonard wasn’t ready to listen to her, she stepped forward and held his fist which was raised in the air to punch Teddy. “Leonard, that’s okay. You can’t continue hitting him like that.” Jane shook her head at Leonard when she realised that she had his attention. Leonard shut his eyes, trying to control the anger that was still brewing inside of him.“Are you feeling sorry for him

    On the highway.“Hmm,” Jane squinted her eyes as she moaned in pain due to how uncomfortable she was feeling. She didn’t know where she was as her brain was yet to register what’s going on.“Dear ex-wife, you are awake.” Teddy voices out behind the wheels immediately he hears Jane’s painful moan. It was then it dawned on Jane that she had been kidnapped. She didn’t know what happened to her earlier that made her lose consciousness. She also noticed that she was in a moving car. She was resting her back on the car backrest with her hands tied behind her.The first thing she did was to check her surroundings. She noticed the car was going downtown, almost making its way out of Manhattan.“Teddy, where the hell are you taking me?” Jane said calmly, not wanting to give her abductor the impression of being scared. She prayed in her mind that someone should have notice her disappearance by now. She regretted why she didn’t call Leonard earlier and inform him about Teddy, who mysteriously b

    Lily was the first to notice Jane’s disappearance. The moment she walk out of the company, her gaze subconsciously went to the parking lot, where she saw Jane’s waterproof laptop bag she had helped her pack earlier, lying on the floor without Jane’s presence.She looked around, but she couldn’t find Jane. Her mind went abuzz, dreading the worst thing that might have happened to her boss. “Mrs. Bank? Jane! Where are you?” Lily's voice echoed all over the parking lot, but there was no sign of Jane. It was like she had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Just when she was about to pull out her phone to inform Leonard what just happened, James pulled over in front of her.“Where is Mrs. Bank? Is she still inside?” James asked as he walked up to Lily, whose body was shaking with dread. “I don’t know where she is. She was waiting for you as always. I just went inside to get something, but I couldn't find her. I only saw this bag laying on the floor. I think she might have been kid

    “Jane, are you alright?” Lily asked immediately after she closed Jane’s office door behind them. She had felt how Jane’s mood had fluctuated the moment the new business partner was introduced. Jane had left the conference room immediately after the meeting ended.Jane walked to her desk in a daze. How she had made it back to her office, she can’t say. She was still in shock after seeing that person. According to her brother, he would become a partner with their company, not only that, Jane would also be attending any of their business dealings.“Jane?” Lily had never seen Jane so lost before. She had called her name thrice after she sat down, but it seems like Jane was in her own world. She didn’t seem to hear her.“What’s wrong with you, Jane? Are you sure you are okay?” Lily was worried about her boss. She felt helpless for not being able to know what was wrong with Jane. With all Lily’s questions, Jane didn’t seem to hear her.“I think I would have to call Mr. Bank and tell me wha

    A month later.“Jane, it’s almost time for the annual meeting.” Lily, who was carrying some files in her arms, walked into Jane’s office, closing the door behind her.Jane raised her head up from her laptop for a brief second to glance at Lily, before continuing what she was doing. She saw that she still had almost twenty minutes before the meeting started.“I’m almost done with balancing this account. Let me round up, and we are good to go.” Jane’s fingers ran across the keyboard of her laptop with a fast pace, which was almost invisible to the eyes.Lily walked forward and dropped the files in her arms on Jane’s table, watching her boss with admiration. Jane could feel lily’s hot gaze on her body without even raising her head.“Did you have something to say?” Jane didn’t stop what she was doing as she questioned Lily. For the past few weeks she had been working with Lily, she found her to be a sweet girl. It was almost like the shaky and timid girl she met the first day she resumed

    As Jane stepped out of the elevator with Lily trailing behind her, someone called onto her.“Jane!” Hurried footsteps sounded behind her. As she turned around, she was greeted with the smiling face of her brother, Desmond.“Hey brother, how are you?” Jane greeted Desmond, who was studying her. Jane signaled for Lily to leave. She was only there to direct her to the conference room since it was her first time being here.“I’m good, Jane. I don’t need to ask how you are doing. It seems like my brother-in-law took very good care of you during your honeymoon. Look at how your skin is glowing.” Desmond teased, making Jane blush.“Desmond, stop teasing me. Are you also going for the meeting.” Desmond nodded. “Let’s go, or else we will be late.” Jane said with concern. She doesn’t want to be late for her first meeting.“Alright. Let’s go.” Desmond led the way, while Jane followed behind him. A minute later, they were standing in front of a room that had the tag ‘CONFERENCE ROOM’ boldly writt

    “Have we met before?” That was the question Jane asked the moment she saw her assistant's face clearly.Lily finally had the courage to look into Jane’s eyes. Shaking her head, she denied ever meeting Jane before. “No, Mrs. Bank, we have never met before.”Jane threw her thought to the back of her mind, not dwelling on whether she had met her assistant before or not. “What’s the matter with you? Is someone bullying you in the office? Or did I look scary?” Jane asked, not understanding why her assistant wouldn’t even look at her in the face.“No…, no Mrs Bank, no one is bullying me.” Lily stammered as she waved her hands. Looking at the way Lily immediately denied her claims, Jane figured out that her guest might be right. Jane doesn’t know why she felt the urge to protect her assistant. Maybe it was because she saw her past self in her.“Come here.” Jane commanded. Lily rushed forward and stood in front of Jane’s desk. “You don’t need to hide anything from me. You and I will be workin

    Two weeks later.A flashy red car pulled in front of the Lockwood Cooperation. The back seat door was immediately opened after the driver rushed forward.“We are here, Mrs. Bank.” James informed Jane the moment he opened the car.A pair of legs clad in black heels stepped out of the car, before Jane’s full body stood tall outside the car, her green eyes covered with her dark sunglasses. Jane was putting on a white pants trouser, with a powdered blue blouse. Her black bag which was one of the gifts Leonard had showered her with during their honeymoon, complimented her heels and sunglasses.“Wow, who is that woman? Is she one of the representatives of the Smith’s Group? She is so beautiful.”“I think she looks familiar. Is she some known celebrity?”As the employees of the Lockwood corporation were making their way inside the building, they couldn’t help stopping for a few seconds to admire Jane, while some of them felt like she looked familiar.

    Leonard woke up to the bright sunlight seeping through the floor to ceiling window into the room. He squinted his eyes slightly before his vision finally got used to the brightness.Turning to his side, he was greeted by the sight of Jane, who was snuggled on his chest. Her soft breath tickled his naked chest. Her lips were slightly opened as her chest rose and fell to the rhythm of her breathing.Leonard took in Jane’s beautiful features like he couldn’t get enough of her. “Good morning, sunshine!” Leonard whispered into her ear, before moving closer to her as he placed an adoring kiss on her forehead.“Good morning, Hubby. How was your night?” Jane's eyes flew open the moment Leonard's lips left her forehead. She gave him a small smile as her big green eyes stared at him lovingly.Leonard's lips curled up as he returned her smile, before his hand wrapped freely on her waist, drawing her closer to himself. Jane’s eyes were smiling as she watched Leonard, whose head immediately bent
