Second Epilogue."Heyyy." Jayda smiled as soon as she saw Sebastian walk into the kitchen with Ariella in his arms."It smells divine in here," Seb said as he approached Jayda and kissed her lips which made Ariella giggle."Dada, Ariella wants a kiss." She pointed to her cheeks. Sebastian chuckled and then placed a kiss on her cheeks."How was work, babes?" He wrapped an arm around Jayda's waist and kissed her cheek."Fine. Yours?" She wiped her hands with a napkin, turning her attention to him afterwards."Fine too. I called you this evening but you didn't answer your call.""Sorry, my phone has been in my bag since I left the office.""It's fine, Lilian called to tell me they would be arriving early. They should be here anytime soon.""Thank God the food is ready. I only have to set the dining table.""You hungry, princess?" Jayda asked her daughter who was still in her husband's arms.Ariella shook her head."You have to eat something, my love." Sebastian persuaded."Cookies." She s
Jayda Wright tried to hold back tears as the Board announced her Partner of the most reputable law firm in the United States; Saunders and Co.It was indeed a well-deserved position for Jayda. She has been aiming for this position since the first time she interned as a paralegal in Saunders and Co. She worked her ass off, gave up everything relating to her social life and put her ALL in her job.At age 29, she was the youngest and the first female to become a Partner in Saunders and Co.No doubt being a partner comes with a lot of responsibilities but she was a hard worker so she knew she would survive.Apart from the responsibilities that came with her promotion, She was now like one of the owners of the firm hence, there would be a great increment in her salary, doubled benefits and most importantly, her name would be engraved on the door of her new office. What a dream come true for Jayda!“Thank you so much, Mr Tucker, I promise not to disappoint you.” She said to the president of
“You are proving hard to get when I’m trying to help your life!” Sebastian spoke as he sat on an empty stool beside the woman that refused to come to him.Jayda was about taking another shot when she heard the voice, the voice sounded angry and irritated but for some unknown reasons, it sent shivers down her spine.She looked at the owner of the voice and for once she forgot how to breathe. Hot and sexy would be an understatement to describe him. He was even looking hotter in his suit. She would have mocked him about wearing a suit to the club but on her way in, she noticed a couple of others with suits too. Perhaps they all came straight from work.As soon as Sebastian looked into the lady’s eyes, he went still. He never expected the person who refused him to be this beautiful. He saw dried tears on her face and for some unknown reason, he felt the need to ask what made her cry, comfort her and let her know everything will be fine.Sebastian snapped back into reality when he realized
Jayda woke up slightly tired. She blushed and buried her face deeper into the pillow as soon as she remembered last night's event. She was also very sore but sore in a good way. Lilian, her best friend will be so proud of her when she tells her that she got a good lay.Jayda opened her eyes and saw that the space beside her was empty, she sat up with the duvet wrapped around her curvy body and came face to face with Sebastian who was dressing up. His back was turned to her so he couldn't see her. She could tell he just had a shower because of how his hair looked.Jayda ran her fingers through her messy hair before she spoke. "Good morning." She said but got no reply.Maybe he didn't hear her."Good morning, Sebastian." She said again. This time around Sebastian took a glance at her, said nothing, then turned his attention back to buttoning his shirt. He made no attempt to reply to her greetings. He also had a stern expressio"Aren't you the one I'm talking to?" Jayda said. She was star
Lilian was surprised. She could not believe it was her best friend that was pouring out her emotions before her. Jayda was someone that hardly showed her weak side. Even in tough situations, she always put up a strong face. She couldn't remember the last time she saw Jayda cry.Lily did her best to calm Jayda down. She wiped her face with some tissue."I'm here if you want to talk about it but it's okay if you don't want to," Lilian said carefully.Jayda sniffed "I was devastated after I left Zach's place so I made my way to club 232.""You went to a club?" Lilian asked, shocked. Jayda nodded. No matter how much Lily persuaded her to go to the club in the past, Jayda never gave in."I went with the intention to get drunk but I ended up taking only three shots before I was interrupted by someone. He was very handsome but has the worst personality on earth. I feel so stupid because he used me.""During the first few minutes we talked, I felt kind of connected to him. His voice sent shive
Sebastian Miller heaved a tired sigh as he slammed the document he was going through on the table. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t concentrate on anything. All he could think of was Jayda; the passionate night they had together, how he acted like a jerk to her the next morning, the tears in her eyes when he hurled hurtful words at her.The more he remembered her with tears in her eyes, knowing he was the reason for her sadness, the more he hated himself and regretted not going into the bathroom and apologizing to her.Since that night, no second has passed without Sebastian thinking about Jayda. She was all he could see in his dreams and it was making him crazy.He did his best to forget her by calling an ex-fling to meet him at a hotel but for some unknown reason, he couldn’t go through fucking her. He stopped halfway after a little bit of smooching because he realized he wanted something more. He didn't feel the heat, the passion, the burning desire that he had with Jayda.O
Four weeks later.These past days had been the busiest Jayda had ever been. There was a whole lot to do now that she was promoted. She had several court cases to handle, consultations to give and contracts to review.She was glad she had so much to do because it kept her mind off the person she gave her most precious thing, Sebastian.By the time she got home every night, she was usually exhausted so she went to bed straight and too tired to think about him.But there were times when she couldn't help but think about him, and whenever she does, she got mad at herself for going to bed with him.At least, once every three days, she replayed the passionate night they had together. It wasn't done intentionally but she couldn't help herself. Sometimes, she could still feel him in her and in as much as she would not want to admit, she missed the feel of his body against hers, how he wrapped his arms around her possessively the night after they made love.What surprised Jayda was that she nev
"How is my niece doing today?" Albert pulled Lilian in for a hug.She smiled, "I'm fine uncle, Happy Birthday to you. Long life and prosperity.""Thank you, dear. I'm glad you're here.""You remember your cousin, Sebastian?" Albert said, gesturing at Sebastian who was standing beside him, holding a glass of champagne.Lilian took a glance at the asshole who hurt her best friend. As usual, he was looking very handsome despite the fact that he had a stern look on his face.Lilian had never seen him smile, perhaps he would be more handsome when he smiled. Sebastian was the total opposite of his parents and twin sisters, it made Lilian wonder what planet he came from."I do remember him" Lilian mumbled, looking back at her uncle."Good. I was just asking him when he was going to give me my first grandchild." Albert said which made Sebastian groan."We've agreed not to talk about this Dad.""I'll keep on talking about it until you give me a grandchild. I want to have one now that I'm still

Epilogue.One year later.Jayda Miller considered herself as one of the luckiest people on earth. As each day passes by, She never fails to thank God for blessing her with an amazing husband, beautiful children, wonderful family, amazing friends who turned family and also, her successful career.Getting married to Sebastian was one of the best things that have ever happened to Jayda. Her love for him increased day by day. They've only been married for a year and Sebastian kept his promise by making each day memorable and making She and their children happy.Of course, they argued and had little misunderstandings in between but they loved each other so much that it was hard for them to stay mad at one another for so long.Jayda had a hard time balancing her career with being a wife, a Mom and a godmother but she was determined to make it work and she has been doing well so far.Being a wife and a mom was something she never really pictured herself in but Jayda Miller wouldn't trade her
"Are you for real?" Jayda whispered after a while, looking from Lilian's face to her belly.Lilian nodded with the most beautiful smile ever.Jayda gently placed Ariella on the bed beside her, then embraced Lilian into a hug."This is the best news I've heard in a while. Thank you, God. Gosh, Lily, I'm so happy for you and Roman." Jayda sniffed."Thanks, babes! But please don't tear up, I don't want you to ruin your makeup." Lilian said but it was too late because Jay already had a tear rolling down her cheek.Jayda chuckled and pulled away from the hug. "Don't worry about my makeup, my makeup artist will retouch everything."Lilian took Ariella in her arms when she almost started whining."Ella, your godmother is going to give you a playmate. How cool is that?" Jayda cooed and tickled Ariella who giggled."Yes, my love. And hopefully, if it turns out to be a girl, you two will be best friends like your god mommy and me." Ariella gave a toothy grin smile."When did you find out? How fa
Jayda had breakfast. Aaron also ate with her. Soon after, they were joined by Jayda's parents. Aaron was happy to see his other Grandma and Grandpa.While the boys ( Sebastian, Albert, David and Aaron) settled on the sofa to drool over Ariella, Jayda and Sebastian's Mom sat with Jayda and engaged in conversations. Grace was seated on the right-hand side of Jayda's bed while Vanessa occupied the left-hand side."How does it feel to be a mom?" Grace asked her daughter."Weird, but amazing! I mean, I've been a mom since the first day I met Aaron but Ariella's birth has definitely changed me for the better.""But Mom, you didn't tell me how painful labour can be." Jayda accused Grace.Vanessa chuckled, "Dear, I don't think there's any word to use to describe the whole labour process unless one experiences it. But I'm sure all the pain was worth it as soon as Ariella was placed in your arms." She said.Jayda nodded. "It was definitely worth it."The trio continued with their conversation, w
"They just had their second child and they've started trying for baby number three." A very familiar voice came through.Jay and Seb shyly pulled away from the kiss.Lilian and Roman walked in with pink decorations and gifts. Lily placed all the items on a free couch then made her way to Jayda to hug the hell out of her."Congratulations babes!""Thank you,""I had wanted to come over as soon as I got Seb's text at midnight. But again, I remembered we wouldn't be allowed to see you or my goddaughter until a few hours later. I only went to bed when seb texted that you and Ariella were fine.""Thanks, Lilian, I appreciate everything you do for me," Jayda said sincerely."What are sisters for?" Lilian smiled and then pulled Jayda into another hug."Hey, she's meant to meet me first. I'm her mommy's best friend which means I'm her best friend too. She's also my goddaughter which gives me priority." Lilian said before Roman could pick up Ariella from her bassinet.Everyone in the room chuck
Sebastian felt very useless standing by Jayda, doing nothing than holding her hand and encouraging her to push by whispering soothing and encouraging words in her ear.He wished he could do more, he wished he could go through the labour for her or somehow take away all the pain she was feeling. She was in tears and in great pain and it broke his heart.Seb had tears in his eyes too but he tried as much as he could to hold them back. Jayda relied on him for support and he had to be strong for her."I can see her head, babe, just a few more pushes and she will be with us." Sebastian encouraged, before placing a kiss on her sweaty face."You can do it Jayda, you're the strongest woman I know." He added.Another tear rolled down Jayda's cheek before using all the strength left in her to push really hard.Lo and behold, the cry of a bouncing baby girl followed suit.Jayda jammed her head back against the pillow and heaved a sigh of relief."You did it, my love, I'm so proud of you." Sebasti
Days LaterJayda was seated behind her desk, going through some files when she felt a weird movement in her belly.At first, She got scared, hoping nothing bad was happening to her daughter. She gently placed her hand on her belly and when she felt the movement again, happy tears welled up in her eyes at the realization of what had just happened."She moved!""Her baby girl kicked!"Jayda wanted to go to the rooftop and shout to the whole world that she felt her baby move for the first time.Smiling like crazy, She reached for her phone and dialled Sebastian who picked up after a few rings."It hasn't even been up to two hours and you're missing me already." Sebastian teased from the other side."Sorry to burst your ego, my dear fiancé, I wasn't missing you. I just called to let you know the latest about your daughter.""Is anything the matter? Do you need me to come over?" Sebastian asked, already at alert."Nothing is wrong Seb. She moved. I felt her tiny kicks.""Are you for real?"
The Next DayLilian was still fast asleep in her room when Jayda went to open the door for Roman. She had texted him the night before and pleaded for him to come over this morning and she was glad he heeded to her request."Why didn't you tell me anything?" Jayda accused.Roman rubbed his palms together and let out some air."Lilian and I trust you, we know you will always be there for us. I honestly don't know why we never told you about it. I guess it was a shock to us and we were trying to deal with it in our own way to avoid pity. Had I known bringing the issue of a child will tamper with Lilian and I's relationship, I would have never said anything about it.""She said you really want a child and she could see the desire in your eyes when you look at other people's children.""I won't lie, I do want a child and if I can't have one with Lilian, I would rather not have one at all.""The baby issue started when we stopped using protection when making love. I said I will be the happie
A few weeks laterJayda couldn't help but think something was wrong with Lilian. It has been almost two weeks since She and Sebastian came back from their one week vacation and she hasn't seen Lilian.Whenever Jayda called to greet her, She could tell something was not right and no matter how much she persuaded, Lilian would not say anything. Instead, she would give an excuse to end the call with Jay and also promise to call back but never did.Jayda also reached out to Roman, Lily's boyfriend, maybe he would give her a hint on what was going on.Roman assured her everything was fine but she found it hard to believe him.Having decided that she has had enough, Jayda made up her mind to go visit Lilian; a surprise visit. She knew if she called to inform her that she was coming over, Lilian was going to make some silly excuses and give her lame reasons why she shouldn't show up.After four rings, Lilian finally answered her door."W...what are y....you doing here?" She shuttered when she
