It's been a month since their trip to Miami and the accident. However, they had put it behind them. Drake and Esther's relationship was still in a complicated phase, but Sean and Alexa's didn't seem to be the same. From what Jenna had heard, they had a partnership in one of Sean's businesses and they spent many days together. As for Jenna, she worked every day, had the kids in the afternoon, and spent her evenings watching Netflix and eating chocolate ice cream."Your breakfast is almost cold," Lily's voice snapped Jenna out of her reverie. Jenna took one last look at herself in the mirror and hurried downstairs to settle her stomach.She decided to wear something different today. She pulled on a pair of tight black jeans and a white button-down shirt, then tucked them into the shirt and secured them with a thin white belt. She folded her sleeves up to her elbows, smoothed her hair, and wore black high heels."You look beautiful," Lily commented."Thank you." Jenna leaned over and m
Sean introduced Jenna to Aiden and before Sean could say who she was, Jenna interrupted. "Secretary, Jenna," Jenna greeted him and reached out to shake his hand. Aiden stood up and took Jenna's hand and kissed it, which surprised Jenna a little. "You're beautiful," he commented. "Thank you, kind sir," Jenna replied. Aiden burst out laughing and looked at her. He looked as if he was searching for something. Suddenly, a realization dawned in his eyes. "I think I've seen you before," he exclaimed. "That was the worst line of seduction ever," Sean grumbled. Jenna winced at his attitude. "No, really. We've met in the elevator before," Aiden said. Jenna gave him a puzzled look. "A few days ago at the mall. Remember the old lady who said we were perfect for each other just because we wore matching clothes?" he said, and then everything became clear. "Oh, yeah!" Jenna exclaimed when it hit her. Jenna was taking her two children to a restaurant for lunch, and the three of them wer
"Seriously, Casey? I ask you to do one thing. One thing, and you can't get it done in time?" Jenna yelled angrily as she paced the kitchen, running a hand through her brown hair in frustration. "I'm sorry, Ma'am," she said in a shaky voice. "Tomorrow is the charity event, now what am I supposed to serve them?!" Jenna shouted again and hung up angrily. She was completely out of breath. She rarely got angry, and right now she was angry, stressed, and worried. It wasn't a good combination. How could things be so messy? Everything had been organized and Jenna should have been able to relax while waiting for the day of the event to arrive. But suddenly the caterer canceled the contract. Annoying laughter could be heard in the kitchen where Jenna was pacing angrily. She turned her head to the side and glared at Aiden, who was eating the tuna sandwich Lily had prepared for him. The man threw up his hands in surrender, but continued to laugh at her condition. After calming down, Je
The sun kissed her face warmly, as if to say, "Rise and shine." Lazily, Jenna turned over and pulled the blanket over her head. But suddenly she remembered that today was Saturday, the day of the charity event. She woke up with a start. Her brown hair was loose in front of her face. She didn't even want to look at it, because she already knew the condition of her hair, as if it had just been hit by a storm. She walked to the dressing table and tied her messy hair into a ponytail, then went to the bathroom to do her daily routine. "Ah! You're awake. Your dress will be here in a few hours. Get some rest and be at the venue by 6," Aiden said, starting to walk out of her room. "Is everything ready?" Jenna mumbled in front of her toothbrush, which was still covered in toothpaste. She didn't understand half of what Aiden said, but she seemed to understand. Don't ask how. "See for yourself," Aiden yelled and ran out before Jenna could ask or say anything. Jenna quickly did what she
The car pulls up and like any other party, the paparazzi are the first to greet them with their camera lights flashing in full view. Jenna hides behind Sean and uses him as a shield to get her eyes used to the light. When she finally gets used to the light, she follows Sean and Aiden out of the car and runs toward the stairs. Jenna doesn't like posing for the camera, but Aiden disagrees as he takes her arm and makes her smile in front of several cameras. Jenna frowns at their intertwined hands, then Sean does something unexpected. He grabs her hand and pulls her to his side, away from Aiden and toward the large double doors that await their arrival. Jenna wanted to say that he shouldn't act like that in public, but she knew better than that what Sean was like. This man never liked to have his property touched by others, even if he was now too close to Alexa. Instead of arguing with him, however, Jenna let him drag her along. Soon they reached the large golden double doors, wh
Jenna realized that even though she was wearing high heels, the fact was that Aiden was still taller than her. Jenna put both hands on his shoulders and they swayed to the beat of the music. Feeling a sharp look on her back, Jenna looked back and her eyes met Sean's as he stared intently at Aiden's arms wrapped around her waist. His grip tightened around Alexa's waist until she winced in pain. His eyes flicked back to Alexa and apologized for the pain he had caused. Jenna wondered if he would apologize to her for all the pain he had caused her? He used to be so abusive. He had even been rough with her in bed the last time they had made love. And look, he couldn't even stand to see Alexa in a little pain. Jenna looked back forward to meet Aiden's amused eyes. "What's so funny?" she asked as she turned her around and Aiden pulled her closer. "I was just wondering what Sean was doing," Aiden chuckled. "Doing what?" asked Jenna confused. "He's obviously not interested in Al
Do you know the feeling when a bucket of water with lots of ice cubes in it is dumped on your head without warning and you want to scream, but your breath gets caught in your throat, restricting your vocal cords as the cold creeps into your bones? Yeah, that's what Jenna's feeling right now. No one was going to dump a bucket of ice on her head, but right now it would be much better than watching the events unfold in front of her. All of her previous resolve had simply vanished and probably burned up with the ashes blowing away in the wind. Sean and Alexa were standing in the doorway, or should she say they were kissing. Noticing the arrival of Aiden's car, they froze in place without blinking, and Jenna forcibly shifted her gaze from them to Aiden, who sat next to her, staring ahead with a sullen expression. "Are you going to watch them do it here or are you going to drive?" Jenna asked him with calm in her voice. Aiden nodded without looking at her and drove back and out the g
Sean stood in front of the window in his office and stared at his reflection in the glass staring back at him, confusion and uncertainty clouding his vision. He pulled his coat closer to his body and sighed heavily. He had no idea what he was doing or what was happening to him. He woke up this morning with a severe headache, and when it subsided, he looked around and frowned. He had a vague memory of what happened last night, but he didn't know if last night was a dream or not, but it definitely felt more than real. Even if it was a dream, he could tell that it was the scariest dream he had ever had. Even though there was only Jenna in his mind, last night he dreamed of himself kissing Alexa, then Aiden's car pulling into the gate and then driving away. Was Jenna there? Did she see him kiss Alexa? He vaguely remembered Alexa suddenly kissing him, but he let her. He hoped it wasn't real, mostly because he was afraid. Afraid that Jenna would be angry. She would think, what kind
Black. Sean actually hated funerals because there were so many sad and hurt people, and here he was wearing black to the funeral of the person he loved the most. He still couldn't believe that Jenna was gone. Even though everyone in front of him was shouting 'she's dead', he still couldn't believe it, at least not in his heart. But her wrecked car, her burned body, the necklace around her neck that belonged to her mother, and then the ring on her index finger that she always wore seemed to give up hope that it wasn't really Jenna. So now they decided to bury her body next to her mother and father's grave, in the place she wanted. At that moment, Sean looked at himself in the mirror. There was a man in a black satin shirt, black pants and black shoes. His eyes were red and expressionless, and he had a newly grown beard. He couldn't recognize this man. This wasn't him, certainly not like him. She glanced at the row of ties lying carelessly in the corner of her closet. He told L
