TINA'S POV “There's nothing to tell her. There's nothing between me and you. No matter what happens, I will never love you.”Actually, I was curious. What happens to a nonpregnant woman that takes Misoprostol mixed with an antidepressant? With Jessica about to be cancelled out of the race, I only had Karen to deal with now. That was what I thought. Until this moment. Jay's words broke me.I felt my entire body go numb and then something twisted around my chest. My hands felt like jelly, my eyes peppered. Like I had been stung by a bee. All these while I knew he didn't love me. I knew. All I wanted was to slowly make him warm up to me, for him to give me just one chance. Maybe I deserved some harsh words. Yet when those words went through my ears, it stung harder than anything. I turned away, ashamed and flustered.He knew what would happen if I released the recording. Even if he was right or wrong, he knew what would happen. Heck he knew people would slam him and his company wou
WRITER'S POV Jessica twirled her fingers slowly and gracefully around the long round wine glass. On her left hand was a picture she held lightly.She was seated on a wooden knitted chair bathing in the filtering sun rays. After a while she stood up, lifted the glass into her hand and walked to the window where she stood. Everything seemed so small as she stared down. It was a four storey building. Her building which her father had gotten her on her last birthday. She had the perfect life any woman would want. She was the perfect woman any man would want to be with. Why were things not working in her favour? She stared at the picture in her hand again. This time longer than since she had held it. It was a picture of her and Jay. When life was good. When Jay would give the world to be with her. When he could literally drop everything he was doing to run to her whenever she called and wanted. Perfect times. Why couldn’t things return to how it used to be? In the past, he had only
WRITER'S POV MORGAN AND CO COSMETICS COMPANY Collins strided down the hallway towards his father's office, seething. Gripping the door handle, he forcefully pushed the door open. “Father, I never said I needed a wife,” he started as he marched into the room. Chairman Morgan finished scribbling his signature on the document before him and pushed the paper aside calmly. He removed his eye glasses and looked up at him. “You finally decided to visit your father.”“If this whole thing is because I haven't visited. It is because I have been busy with work. You know that.”“Busy frolicking around and going after another man's woman?”“Father! Did you have people follow me again?”Chairman Morgan let out a low grunt as he pushed his chair back and got up. “You have caused so much trouble and I won't let you bring any more problems for this company. Get married and settle down. She is from a good family and you know that is what matters in the business world.”“Father!”“It was about time.
KAREN'S POV I hadn't expected it but Jay rushing into the hospital, hugging me like that and whispering comforting words to me completely melted me. He even came along with food which he fed me. How did he know to bring me food? But he suddenly left the hospital saying he wanted to get something at his office. I looked around, suddenly remembering Tina had left to get food before Jay bursted in. I tried to call her but recalled Collins was yet to return my phone. I had her phone number off hand and could have used the spare phone with me but the whole thing that happened was still mind boggling. I lay back on the bed and shut my eyes. I couldn't sleep. I stood up and left the ward. I didn't want Tina coming back to meet me when I was still feeling that way. There were so many things I wanted to figure out. I needed to gather my thoughts. Why my drink was poisoned along with Jessica's? Why she didn't get my text… if she got my text and ignored it or…I couldn't help my long heav
KAREN'S POV “Karen? Karen?”I jerked and turned. “What are you thinking? We are here,” Jay announced. I looked out of the window and truly we had arrived. I sighed and rubbed my eyes which must be looking as tired as my entire body felt. All through the ride I had been thinking about the bomb sex we had in his office. I stifled back a groan. Why wouldn't I stop thinking about that? But then I realised why it was too hard to not wander off in the remembrance of that moment. Anyone in my shoes wouldn't be able to not try to feel the moment again. It was just too bliss and perfect to not think about it. I had never seen Jay that ferocious. Jay was like a bull. He made love to me as if he was trying to prove something. Like he was telling me something, speaking to me through it. He was hard yet gentle. The way his eyes intense and warm all at once was on me all through, the sweet words he whispered in my ears and how he fondled and worshipped every part of me reached into my deepe
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT DENVA CAPITAL KINGSTONJay sat across the booth covered with plexiglass. It felt strange. Beside the booth he sat was a sullen man staring sadly through the thick plexiglass where his son, unable to look back at him shedded tears. Being in the prison house reminded him of the vow he made to himself before Adams group came to be. To never do anything that would send him to jail. It had been really hard to keep to it. The business world is tough and dirty but he has tried very hard to make sure nothing brings him into this place. Him glancing at his watch and the door across the glass opening happened at the same time. Carlos Fowler walked into the room. His face widened into a smirk at the sight of Jay as he slowly sat down. “When these nutjobs said I had a visitor, guess what I thought?” he started. “Why are you here?” Jay asked, ignoring his remark “What else? Of course to serve time for my crimes. Isn't that what you and your little girlfr
LAVAE RESTAURANT “Excuse me, I can't sit here. Change the seat and the table,” Margaret Barnes said to the waiter with a disgusted look on her face. Her bag hung halfway above her wrist. The way her fingers perched firm yet light against gravity as if signalling to be watched, and her ornaments embodied nothing but luxury. Eyes were on her and she knew it but she didn't care anyways. She was the queen of highlights and this place survived on her father's huge sponsorship. “I’m sorry ma'am, but these are the same kinds of seats and tables around here. If you'd like I can take you to the VIP room–”She spun and shot him a look. “Would you rather lose your job?”The man swallowed whatever next he was whipping up to say, zipped his mouth very carefully and left to do as instructed. .It wasn't a new thing and it was no doubt Margaret wasn't just saying mere words. The workers knew. Minutes later, the waiter returned with a new set of seats and table. Margaret looked at him and then
KAREN'S POV Everything still felt like a haze. Tina's office was one floor down from mine yet I hadn't seen nor had a conversation with her ever since the hospital. Lily told me she picked up some of her things and left the house. She said she was going back home as her mother wanted her back home. A friend would have called to find out about my health. A friend would have made a stop at my office since we were a few offices apart. It was almost as though she was trying to avoid me. Or perhaps I was the one trying to avoid her. Because ever since then, I made sure to avoid taking routes that would have me run into her. Even after visiting the restaurant, I got nothing to disprove that Tina tried to poison me. Well, neither did I get proof that she did it. All thanks to Jessica that ruined things. Everything was just so complicated and I knew soon enough, whether I was ready or not, I would have to have this conversation with her.Honestly, I was scared. Scared to learn that my be
