(Lily’s Pov)My relationship with Jack started to get better, our sexual life less aggressive as it used to be. He no longer forces me when he wants to have sex with me unlike before, since I became the one who seduces him.Our sexual life became a lot better that way because it takes me a whole lot to convince myself not to see him as a rapist after each sex he has with me. Basically all the sex's we've had before were all done against my wish until I decided that I wanted to be the one seducing him.Seducing Jack was the new way I found that made me feel a lot better about having sex with him, with each move I make, I convince myself that that was what I wanted and that he wasn't forcing me into it. That way, it was much better having sex with him.After we had dinner and went upstairs angrily, I had followed him to calm him down but one thing led to another and all I could remember was that I we made love again. He refused and insisted that I sleep over in his room with him when I
(Jack’s Pov)The issue with the ZEDE company insisting that I had a hand in the disappearance of their president became intense and it wasn't good for my company's reputation.I couldn't fold my hands and watch them ruin everything I've built and worked so hard for all these years so I made my assistant set a group which would help me get the names and IDs of those involved in the bad comments about me.I vowed to make veryone of them wish they never spoke ill of me and of course after dealing with them they would wish they never did.My assistant was a hardworking man and I trusted him so much in doing the job very well without other ears hearing about it as he has proven himself worthy of my trust.“I believe you know what to do with them when you get them?” I asked.“Yes boss” he replied.“make sure you trace each of them to their means of livelihood, make sure they lose their jobs and that they do not get another job somewhere else, do you get me?”“Yes sir,” he replied.“and if I
(Jane’s Pov)We drove out in search of Lily because we were beginning to get worried about her, if I do not know Lily enough, one thing I do know is that she doesn't like staying long outside of home, she's a 'I want to go home type' and that made me more worried about her whereabouts, she can't possible be in the cemetery all day long even if it was her whole family she went to visit. People are so pathetic that they don't even let the dead rest. What is the need of going to a loved ones grave to disturb them if we really wanted them to rest in peace?We drove towards the direction of the cemetery where Lily's father was buried. The journey was quite smooth until we met a heavy holdup at the last cross road that let to the cemetery.The holdup was very heavy and it didn’t look like we were getting to the cemetery any time soon. It was getting late and people were returning from where they went to.“Even on a Saturday the road is still filled up” I complained“that’s because everyday
(Lily’s Pov)I felt so sorry for dragging Jane and Jack out in the night to come look for me. If they hadn’t come to the cemetery that night to pick me up I would have passed a night in the cemetery, on my father’s grave.I didn’t know how best to apologize for the stress I put them through, Jack was the one who was mad but Jane took it easy on me. After they brought me home, I made oatmeal for Jane as a token of my appreciation for coming through for me even though that wasn’t enough to thank her for the risk she took because of me.I had to stay back even when I was supposed to be sleeping just to boil yam and make steak for Jack, since he refused on eating oatmeal.After preparing the yam and steak, I stayed back in the sitting room while Jack went up into his room. I didn’t feel like going up into my room at that time, it was just cool in the sitting room. I didn’t want to go into my room because I would only end up crying again and I didn’t want to, I already cried my eyes out wh
(Jack’s Pov)Not only was my company receiving lots of critics from the public, EMPIRE Company which is one of our company’s major investors has said it won’t be doing business with us anymore if we do not clear our name. there is no way I was going to end the contract I had with EMPIRE. I still had an unfinished business with them which was to commence as soon as the documents were signed. I reached an agreement with the president of EMPIRE to let us finish our outstanding business first, then if after everything they don’t see our company as worthy of any more contracts then we would end it all.The agreement was to buy me some time to fix everything there is to fix and get my company’s name out of the mouth of the bad commenters.I was still holding the president of ZEDE captive and never thought of letting him go but now that things were beginning to get out of hand, I had no other option other than to free him but on a condition.Nate has been with him since the day he was abduct
(Jane’s Pov)It was a new week into the summer, everywhere was looking so beautiful and people tried as much as possible to appear to their various places of work with beautiful smiles. What is there for me that isn’t working, what do I do? Absolutely what is there for me to do?I picked up my phone and scrolled through my recent call logs, and there it was staring at me, the only number that had called me late in the night in the past few days, Austin's number.He must have thought I forgot him, is there any chance he thinks I helped him for free? That's funny because I never help people for free, not to talk of a total stranger like him.He owes me a lot, if not his life since I was the one who cleared the hospital debts that he couldn't pay.My phone was already in my right palm waiting for me to dial Austin's number.I called his phone and it rang a couple of times but he wouldn't pick it up."Is he trying to play around with me!" I screamed as I got heated up.I dialed his number
(Lily’s Pov)“Hello Jack, have you heard?” placed my phone on my ear“Heard what?” replied“I was just watching the news now and…”“and so…what about it? should I come to join you? I have some other important things to do other than sitting in the house all day fixing my eyes on the TV” he interrupted. That was rude, but since I was the one who called, I had to finish what I started.“No, that’s not what I meant to say, I mean…”“you know I’m at work and I don’t have much time to spare, what is it that you want to tell me?”“It’s about the ZEDE president, I think he’s out and about to make a public confession and apologize to you too”“Thanks for the information, is there anything else you would love to tell me?” he asked“no, there isn’t” I replied and he hung up even before I realized myself.He would have at least let me finish my conversation with him before hanging up on me. Isn’t he supposed to be happy? I didn’t waste his time after all, I was telling him something very importa
(Jack’s Pov)After meeting with the president of ZEDE, I quickly went back to the office, it was to finish up with the report submitted by the head of departments. I wanted to carefully analyze how each department has been performing lately and to recruit new staff if need be. If there's a time to put in our best, it would be now."how many are remaining to be sorted?" I asked having my eyes fixed on the big book I was flipping." Only the Human Resources department is remaining sir" my assistant replied."It should be ready before today runs out, I need to look into every detail," I said."Yes, Sir" my assistant nodded.He stood there and watched me as I flipped every page of the record book and looked up into the system to be sure that the two pieces of information corresponds."Can I help you, Sir?" My assistant asked as he walked closer to me.He looked tired, his face pale and his eyes weak. He obviously needed to rest but wouldn't do that until I approve of it."You look tired,
(Lily’s Pov)“Sorry, for what exactly?” I asked with a voice heavy with emotion.“I’m sorry for everything. Can’t you see how sorry I am?” Austin asked“I don’t care whether you are sorry or not. You’re supposed to stay away from my life, I paid the price for that remember?”“Lily it’s not my fault that things happened the way they did…”“It’s my fault then. How could you? Austin I trusted you so much and yet you broke me the third time. Why do you have to keep hurting me? What did I ever do to you to deserve the things that I get from you?” I asked trying so hard to withhold my tears from dropping.Austin tried to make an inch closer but I took two steps backwards to stop him from coming any closer. I never believed I would set my eyes on him again after what he did to me.When Jack showed me that video of us having sex, a video I knew nothing about, my heart sank into my stomach. Austin took a sex video of us without my knowledge. He drugged me and had sex with me.“How am I suppose
(Jack’s Pov)In a bid to find comfort, I ran into a bar filled with lots of people and echoes that came from the loud music being played in the bar. It was a locally made expensive bar and had a very beautiful sight but I was in pains not to pay attention to its details.I found my way into the thick crowd that was rocking each other and flirting around. The crowd was congested but I still managed to find my way to the barman’s spot where I would stay and drink until I’m able to forget all that I’d been through.“One beer please,” I said to the bar attendant who was serving everybody.“Are you married?” the young man asked.“Excuse me,” I said looking confused. I didn’t know what being married had to do with ordering a beer in the bar.“You’re in the couple’s corner, if you’re alone then you should go to the other side, divorced people aren’t allowed her either,” the barboy said pointing to the corner which had only a young lady who was already drinking herself to stupor.For a moment
(Lily’s Pov)When my son woke up, I had to beg the doctor to let us go because his twin brother was at home all alone. The doctor refused and asked that I let them take care of him while I go back to his brother at home but fear wouldn’t let me do that.“I’m sorry ma, we can’t let you take him home when he hasn’t healed properly,” the doctor said.“But I can take care of him at home, all you have to do is give me his drugs and I will administer them to him following your directions” I pleaded.“It doesn’t work that way, ma’am. Let us take care of his wounds” the doctor insisted.“You’re not in any position to tell me what to do with my child” I fumed.“You can take him home if you want, we are only trying our best to make sure that your son is in good condition” the doctor replied.After giving a second thought to the doctor’s advice, I had no other choice left other than to call on Samantha and let her know what happened to one of the twins.“Hello Samantha” I cried.“Why are you cry
(Lily’s Pov)I was at home all alone looking after the kids because Samantha had gone to visit a relative leaving the twins with me. I couldn’t go to the bakery with them because of the heat produced in the bakery shop instead, I decided to take two days off from work and look after my kids while we wait for Samantha to return home.The kids were running around and playing with their dolls while I was making food in the kitchen, suddenly everywhere went cold and I wasn’t hearing their tiny little laughter anymore, after a second, one started crying but I didn’t hear a thing from the other.I got scared and ran out to confirm what was wrong, I got to the sitting room to see my little one lying helplessly on the floor in the pool of his own blood. I wrapped him up in my arms immediately and searched all over his body for where the blood was coming from. I turned him over and it was from his head that the blood was streaming from.Confused and didn’t know what to do I reached for my phon
(Jack’s Pov)I got home after a long day at the company and decided that I need to rest because I had lunch almost at 4 pm, I didn’t see the need to eat again at night so I walked straight to my room without going to the dining to check what was prepared.“I thought I was going to wait forever” Karen chuckled immediately after I turned the light on.“You scared me! How did you get here?” I asked, disgusted by her presence.“Are you not happy to see me? What was I even thinking? I have forgotten that you have a new wife but I don’t see her anywhere around this place” Karen chuckled looking around everywhere and making a comic face.“I’m warning you, stop it…”“Or what Jack? I loved you and what did you do? You divorced me for some whore who got pregnant for another man, tell me, have you suddenly become impotent that another man had to get your wife pregnant, so pathetic” Karen mocked.“How did you get into my room and who opened the gate for you?” I asked the desperate Karen seating o
(Jack’s Pov)After meeting with the staff who took away my money, I headed to the company to deal with the complaints I’ve been receiving from our clients over contracts that were yet to be approved. The contracts were delicate and my assistant couldn’t approve them, as I needed to look into them, otherwise, I would have asked him to.My assistant called complaining that we might lose some of our major customers if we do not do anything with the contracts and that was why I decided to go to the company after deciding to stay off the company and have my assistant take care of things.The company was busy and filled with people, soon everybody started bowing at the sight of me as they usually do. I was becoming tired of the entitlement which they gave me, I wanted my staff to feel free with me and not freak out whenever they see me but that seemed like a wish that wouldn’t come true, even when I try talking to some of them they would bend their head until I would be done talking.“Good
(Lily’s Pov)“We are doomed,” I said to Karen over the phone, panting.“Calm down Jane. You haven’t even told me what it is that happened”“Don’t you get it? Some strange person called Jack telling him that they’ve found her, what if it’s Lily that he found. I think Jack is in love with her”“What makes you think so?” Karen asked.“Because I heard him say to Jack ‘Boss we have found her” I replied.“Not that part”“Which part do you mean?” I asked“The part you said he’s in love with her”“Yes, Karen I think he’s in love with her and if she’s the one that they’ve found then it’s the end of the road for the both of us” I cried perambulating around the whole place.“What do you suggest we do now?” Jane asked.“I do not know, I’m as confused as you are yourself and Jack isn’t giving me any chance to get close to the company despite how weak I thought he was.“That’s not good at all”“Yes, it isn’t and now I’m scared. What if he’s the real owner of those kids and they have been found?”“J
(Jack’s Pov)I rushed in the direction of the address where Nate sent to my phone. It was the new location where he keeps hostages whenever captures anyone that I have him go after.A week ago, my assistant brought to my notice the case of a missing fund where a huge amount of money went missing. It was traced to the desk of our three-year-old staff who was a data analyst. She was employed because her curriculum vitae says she is an experienced data analyst and when my assistant gave her a test, she did very well and that was the most relevant reason why she was employed, so basically, she’s very good at her job.Ever since she resumed work, my assistant has been reporting a missing fund to me but I had them all ignored because the money missing wasn’t much, but this time around, I had it investigated because the money which was lost this time was quite huge and it was nothing I could overlook just like that. I wanted to know the person who’d be so bold to steal from me.My assistant
(Jack’s Pov)As much as I pretended that everything was okay with me, I still had something bothering me, something that haunts me all through the night, it was the thought of Lily.I lied to myself severally that I did the right thing by sending her out for cheating on me but however, something didn’t seem right to me. The doctor’s confirmation of her having twins means that it could be because Jane and I are twins but then I’m not the only one who is a twin, the man she cheated on me with could be too.Sometimes I try to get my mind off from thinking about her but the thought never goes away, it still finds its way into my heart and each time it does, it torments me.When I couldn’t deal with it any longer, I confided in Jane and told her everything that I was going through because she was the only person I could trust at the moment."Do you think I did the right thing?" I asked Jane uncertain."What are you talking about? Don't tell me you're still thinking about her?" I bowed my h
