037.

THE GALA

Lucas sat in the gala, his gaze fixed on the door as he waited for Janette to walk in. He had been able to pull some strings into making her sit at the same table with him while Rosa would sit at the sane table with Alan so they could talk and make amends.

Each second that passed felt like forever as he really wanted to see her. He kept tapping his feet and checking his wrist watch, wondering what was taking her so long.

A few minutes later, he looked up, his eyes widening as he saw Janette walking in with Rosa behind her. She looked absolutely stunning in a black glittering gown that stopped at her feet, complementing her fine porcelain skin tone and giving her the sophisticated CEO appearance.

He was almost tempted to spring to his feet and hug her then tell everyone that she was his wife, but he knew she would chop his head off if he tried, so he patiently waited as they led her to his seat. He stood up and walked away. If she saw him, she might ask for the seats to b

    038.Lucas stared at Janette all through his gala, his mind filled with thoughts of what Aunt Maryanne had told him. Had she really changed that much that he didn’t know her anymore? He wouldn’t blame her, though. It was all his fault. He was the reason she’s changed and is now cold and indifferent towards him.Janette just wanted the gala to be over so she could leave. Sitting here with him was very uncomfortable for her. When it was time for auctions, she folded her arms without showing any interest in it.Meanwhile, Rosa and Alan faced each other, Rosa feeling like tearing him to shreds. “Well, my night just got bad. What the heck are you doing on the same table with me?” she asked.Alan chuckled while rubbing the back of his head nervously. “Can’t you see it? Destiny is bringing us together. I think we are meant to be.”Rosa snorted. “You really think so highly of yourself, don’t you? Do you think any woman would want to be with a bully like you?”“C’mon, Rosa, that was years ago.

    039.Lucas couldn’t believe what he was doing. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he would be crying in front of Janette. He was just overwhelmed and couldn’t get control over his emotions. But that wasn’t even his concern right now. He was in her arms. In her fucking arms. He never thought he’d see the day, but here in was, the arms of the one woman that he loved so much. Lucas closed his eyes to savor the moment.Janette stared at him, her heart aching and softening at the same time. Why was the matter of the heart so complicated? She sneered. How can someone make you hurt and love at the same time?“Lucas,” she called. “I think that’s enough. People are coming, and I think you need to get off right now.”Lucas didn’t want to leave her, but he wouldn’t want any news flying around about her either. He reluctantly pulled away from the hug and Janette quickly stood to her feet. “I think we are done here. Goodnight, Mr. Harry.” she didn’t wait for him to say anything else b

    040.LUCAS' MANSION "You did what?!" Alan couldn't believe what he just heard. "You cried and grabbed onto her legs?" he asked, laughing and walking around the room.Lucas swayed the wine glass in his hand, the contents of the wine swirling as he stared into space. "It's not funny, Alan." he sighed, lowering his head.Alan laughed again and clapped his hands. "It's funny as fuck, Lucas," he chuckled again. "Who would have thought that the feared and famous billionaire Lucas Harry would be so vulnerable to the extent of crying and clinging to his ex wife for dear life?"Lucas scoffed. "Laugh one more time and I'll cut your allowance. You know I can do that!" he threatened.Alan scoffed. "Oh please, that won't affect me. I could just leave your company and finally take over my father's company. I already have enough money to get by." Lucas rolled his eyes and sat down, his expression turning thoughtful. He had only done that at the spur of the moment. He used to be aloof and cold to o

    041. A week later... "How are you doing today, Aunt Maryanne?" Janette asked with a smile as she walked into Aunt Maryanne's ward. Aunt Maryanne sat up with a smile. "I'm feeling a lot better. The migraines are gone and I can't wait to get out of here soon," she said and Janette looked up at her. "I didn't mean it like that sweetie. I meant to leave the hospital, not you of course. The smell of medicine and disinfectant makes me sick, sugar." Janette chuckled. "I get you. And you're recovering rapidly. If this keeps up, I'm sure you would be discharged next weekend." Aunt Maryanne couldn't help her joy. "That's wonderful news. Now," she winked at Janette. "How about the surprise you said you had for me? You know I like me some good unexpected things, right?" Janette smiled. "The surprise is on his way. Sophia is bringing him." "Who's Sophia?" Aunt Maryanne asked. Janette beamed. "You will know when they get here," she said and sighed. "Give me a few minutes. I'll be right bac

    042."Aunt Maryanne, you're making this look harder than it already is," Janette sighed and stood to her feet. "I never intended to get married to him due to gratitude or anything. I just..." she ruffled her hair as she paced the ward room. "I thought I would fall in love with him. I didn't know Lucas was going to spring back into my life, Aunt Maryanne. I'm just devastated."Aunt Maryanne reached out to touch her hand. "You are a strong lady, Janette. And... you are way too nice for your own good. You don't marry someone to show that you're grateful to them. You marry them because you love them. Marriage isn't a game of dice, my dear. And I'm not even telling you this because I'm Lucas' Aunt and I want you two to be together. I'm saying this because I care about you. Whatever you choose, I will support you, but I won't let you go into something you aren't sure of."Janette sighed, feeling a wave of relief wash over her at Aunt Maryanne's words. She rushed to Aunt Maryanne and hugged

    043.GEOFFREY CORP..."Do you think Janette is going to like this idea?" Victor asked, staring at the box of ring in Liam's hand. The diamond glinted in the light, its beauty making Liam smile at what he was planning.Liam closed the ring box and looked at Victor. "It's not like she has any choice, Victor. Whether the tides work in our favour or not is none of my business. I can't sit and watch Lucas take her away from me. Not after everything I've given up to be here. Not after everything I've given up to hold her in my arms." Victor sighed. "But trapping her with a ring doesn't guarantee her falling in love with you.""You're wrong," Liam said. "Once I propose to her with this ring, she would have no choice but to accept me. Then she would know that a marriage would be forthcoming. And not just that, she would realize she is going to become my wife. That will make her fall for me of course because there would be no way out anymore."Victor shook his head.

    044.“Bella? You have a son?” Janette asked, the words sounding awkward in her mouth. How on earth did Bella get a son? When did the lady get married? Wait… how's this even possible?Bella scoffed, folding her arms. “What? Did you expect me to be barren like you? Or did you think I don't have the ability to give birth to children just because your ex-husband couldn't keep his dick in his pants?” Janette blinked. “Wow! Someone's got issues,” she said. “I bet shutting you up the last time didn't work that well.”“You-”“Good morning, Ladies,” Mrs. Yuna, the woman Janette suspected to be one of the school's management, spoke up as she walked the center of the room. “Ms. Wayne, please have a seat.” she said and Janette nodded.Janette took a seat on one of the chairs beside Bella. Bella, repulsed by Janette being close to her, snorted and stood up, sitting as far away from her as possible. Janette didn't mind. Her focus was on the fact that Bella's “son” has bullied Ethan and Amaya. Now

    045. Janette walked into the hospital and headed straight for Aunt Maryanne's ward. “Aunt, I bought you fruits. They'd be really good for your-” her words caught in her throat when she saw Genevieve seated with Aunt Maryanne. Genevieve smiled at her. “Good morning, Doc.” Janette raised an eyebrow at her. What's with the smile and the formality? Wait, she was the one who hated the woman being informal before. Does this mean Genevieve would finally leave her alone? “Uh, it seems you're busy now, Aunt. I'll come see you later.” “Oh no, Janette, I'm perfectly free,” Aunt Maryanne smiled. “Come drop the fruits here and tell me when you'll finally let me get out of here.” Janette hesitated for a moment but sighed and nodded. She dropped the basket of fruits and sat beside Aunt Maryanne. Genevieve watched how Janette examined Aunt Maryanne, awed by how she expertly did her work. She couldn't believe this was the same Janette from six years ago. “You're gorgeous when you're b

    057.Liam made to walk to where Lucas stood but Janette blocked his path. “Don't, Liam,” she warned. “You don't have to start a fight as soon as you see him.”“Yeah, that's why I need to know what he is doing in our house. Technically, he doesn't belong here and isn't supposed to be here.” Liam complained.“Calm down,” Janette held his hand. “Lucas just helped me bring Ethan home from school, that's all.”“That's all?” Liam asked, his eyes narrowing at Lucas. “And I saw him holding your hand? And you didn't even bother saying anything about it.”Janette bit her lower lip. “It's not what you think it is,” she sighed. “You just got back and need rest. Don't bother yourself with this.”Lucas said nothing and just watched them. He wondered why Liam didn't ask about Ethan and just went straight to talking trash about him? He shrugged and decided to forget about it. That wasn't his cup of tea. Besides, Ethan was HIS son. Liam glared at Lucas. “Just get out of this place. Nobody wants to se

    056.When they returned to the car, Fiona turned to Lucas with a smile on her face. “Thank you so much for helping Ethan and Amaya out. I'll leave with Amaya now,” she smiled softly at the little girl. “Amaya, say bye bye to Ethan now.”“Mommy, can I go home with Ethan? Mr. Lucas is around and he always gets us chocolates.” Amaya smiled cutely.Lucas drew in a breath. Unfortunately, he didn't get any chocolates today. Fiona quickly noticed and smiled. She had rushed here the minute she got a call from Sophia as well. She had asked Sophia to watch Amaya as well.“Oh, sweetie, let's go freshen up first. You'll come see Ethan after that, okay?” Amaya was shocked by how soft her mother sounded but she nodded with a smile. Fiona smiled at Lucas one more time before turning to leave but came face to face with Janette.Janette, who was initially shocked to see Fiona come, wondered if the woman had changed. “Fiona, didn't expect to see you here. I guess you aren't that hard hearted afterall.

    055.Janette dropped the cards and sprung to her feet. “I'll be right there.”“What happened?” Lucas asked, his expression filled with worry.“Sophia just called to tell me Ethan was hurt by a bully in school. She went to pick him up and saw that he had a bandage on his face. I gotta go!”Aunt Maryanne gasped. “A bully? In kindergarten?”Lucas was annoyed. “Let's go. I'll drive.” he said.Janette shook his head. “There's no need for that. I can go by myself.” she tried to rush out but Lucas grabbed her wrist.“Right now you're panicking. You aren't in the right state of mind and I can't let you go into that road driving, okay?” Janette seemed to calm down a bit and nodded. She had no choice anyway. “Fine. Let's go.” she rushed out of the ward.Aunt Maryanne gave Lucas a thumbs up before he rushed after Janette. As they dashed out of the ward, Janette couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that gripped her heart. She was already envisioning the worst. Sophia had been vague on the phone,

    054.“You're okay and good to go, Auntie.” Janette smiled at Aunt Maryanne, who couldn't help rejoicing but then she looked at Lucas, who was seated on the couch. He had come to pick her up.Aung Maryanne sighed. “Oh my! Oh!” she placed her hand on her head.Janette raised an eyebrow. “Auntie, what is wrong?” “What's wrong, Aunt?” Lucas asked.Aunt Maryanne groaned and plopped down on the bed. “My head is aching seriously and my legs are all wobbly. I don't think it's a good idea to discharge me today. Oh!” Lucas was confused. Where the heck did the sudden pain come from? But when Aung Maryanne winked at him and subtly gestured for him to play along, he nodded. “Oh my gosh, Aunt, thosd migraines are back again? I can't believe this!” he feigned shock and panic.Janette was confused as she stared at two of them. “What has come again? What's going on?” she asked, her expression filled with worry.Lucas sighed. “Aunt Maryanne usually has occasional migraines that make her legs go all w

    053.Mia's eyes widened when she saw Bella running out of the place wailing, her body drenched in dirty water. The other employees who had no idea what had happened watched Bella in awe. Sophie returned with a satisfactory smile on her face and sat down with a chuckle. “What.Did.You.Do?” Mia asked, stressing every word. Sophie glanced at her perfectly manicured nails and smiled before looking up at Mia. “I taught how to keep her mouth shut and not say dirt to my face of course.” she replied. “Oh my God, Mia, you should have seen her face. She was like a lion earlier, but when she saw that I was about to beat her up, she began acting like a cute little kitten. That didn't fool me. I made sure I put her in her place.”Mia shook her head, a look of displeasure on her face. “You shouldn't have done that, Sophie,” she said and Sophie rolled her eyes. “Even if you wanted to do anything to her, you could have waited until work hours are over. Don't you know there are security cameras here

    052.HARRY CORP“I’m serious, Mia. It’s definitely his ex-wife.” Sophie folded her arms with a frown on her face. She had been angry that Lucas wasn’t spending much time in the office like he used to anymore, and she was darn sure it’s because of Janette.Mia rolled her eyes as she looked into the magazine in her hand. “Why is that your problem? If he chooses to spend most time with his ex-wife, shouldn’t you be happy for him? I mean they might reconcile, and he would finally be happy.”Sophia glared at Mia. “What the heck did you just say? Can you hear yourself speak?” she groaned and facepalmed. “Why should I be happy because they might reconcile? I don’t want them to reconcile, Mia. If the go, I’ll lose him for sure.”“Hello, he was never yours to begin with.” Mia scoffed. “Look, Sophie, there are plenty of guys out there who would definitely like you once they set their eyes on you. You’re a beautiful woman. You shouldn’t be thinking of ruining someone else’s chance with his ex-wi

    051.Janette walked into her office and closed the door. She rested her back on it, her hand running through her hair when she recalled what happened with Lucas at the hallway. She couldn't believe it. Just a word and her touch from him made her body react in ways they hadn't in a very long time. He didn't even need to work hard to get a reaction from her. And yet, she sleeps on the same bed with Liam everyday and feels nothing."Shit," she facepalmed. This wasn't good. Her eyes caught a bag...something like a shopping bag on her table and her brows furrowed. That wasn't there when she was in the office a few minutes ago. She walked to the table and took the bag. 'For Doc. Jane.' was written on a paper attached to it.Janette wondered who gave it to her. She opened it and flowers were the first thing she saw. She picked the bouquet of roses, a smile gracing her face. Could Liam have gotten them for her?She dropped the flower and brought out a box of perfume. "Chocolate perfume, my

    050.Lucas stopped in front of them. Rosa smiled at him and he nodded at her. She cleared her throat. "Uh, I'll excuse you two." she quickly walked away before Janette would ask her to stay.Janette shut her eyes tight and facepalmed. "What are you doing here, Lucas?" she asked, her tone softer than she intended.Lucas smiled and sat down, facing her. "Have you forgotten, Doc?" he asked, his tone formal which made Janette arch a brow. "I have an Aunt in your hospital. I came to see her. She's doing wonderfully well, and I wanted to thank the genius doctor who made it happen."Janette had no idea why he was being so formal with her. She knew she should be happy that he was at least doing that, but she had no idea why she felt weird and strange when he did it. Rosa couldn't be correct, right? With a sigh, she looked at Lucas who smiled at her. "You shouldn't have bothered, Mr. Harry," she said, a smile playing on her lips at his expression. Good. He wanted to be formal, right? Two can

    049.J.H HOSPITAL "So, how did it go? You said you we're gonna tell me all about it today." Janette smiled at Rosa during their lunch break. Knowing the kind of person Rosa was, Janette really wanted to know how it went. Maybe-just maybe-Rosa would finally find someone who loves her, and who she loves back as well.Rosa cleared her throat, her eyes darting around the cafeteria. She wondered how much of what happened she should share, especially now that she didn't want Janette to know that her date was Alan yet. "To be honest," she began, taking a sip from her juice. "I really enjoyed the date. He took me to a fancy restaurant, we talked about some things, talked about college and our recent state. After that, we went star gazing. The sky was alive with stars last night." she smiled.Janette watched her closely, a smile playing on her lips. "It was, wasn't it?" she asked."Yeah," Rosa answered. "After everything, he brought me back home and we said our goodbyes. I actually had fun, b
