Echoes Of Redemption Suprise
(that fateful night) Tracy just called, she sounded worried, and I tried to understand what she was saying. "It's everywhere Ma'am, Jonathan is on the news again" I listened, quickly picking up the remote to turn on the TV. My eyes watched in silence, it was the same story every year, that Jonathan never missed. I quickly turned it off, contempt filled me, my phone ringing nonstop. It was Jonathan, I wanted to pick, but I know him too well to come up with a good lie. I thought today would be a good day to drop the news about my pregnancy, but once again he ruined it, Jonathan always looks for a way to ruin everything. Slowly I turn off the shower and step out, I can't let him find out about the Twins, they were my everything and I can't lose them to Jonathan. ****Six years later....."What do you mean, he is there already" I asked, my tone elevated as I tried to get clearer words of what Benita, my assistant was saying as I struggled with the steering. "Keep it down, you two" I

"Come in" I calmly invited him in, he looked tired, I promised not to get involved in his business but right now he was starting to make me worry and I hated that feeling"Can I get you some water or something?" I asked waiting for his response."A glass of water will do" he answered, his eyes refusing to meet mine. I stepped into the kitchen, walking back with a glass of cold water."Here you go" I handed it to him, now sitting opposite him as I watched him, drink the water in one full gulp, "what's going on Jonathan, this is unlike you," I asked curiously"What's with the sudden looking for a leased room to stay, are you broke, am sure the media would have picked that up" he remained silent"Thank you for your concern, but am not broke, am in a situation, in which I just need a quiet place to rethink and gather myself" he answered"A hotel suits that description," I said, trying to annoy the hell out of him"A hotel has too many eyes on it, I don't want to draw any more attention" I

(Jonathan pov)Who the hell was he and why was she restless, she quickly pulled my hand away from her waist, her eyes still fixed on him."Matthew, what are you doing here" she asked him"Can I come in, or are you too busy" his voice filled with anger, I could sense it, she glanced nervously at me before letting him in. I could see the history etched on her face, a mixture of vulnerability and fear.Mathew as she called him, with his disheveled appearance and piercing gaze. Exuded an aura of expressive masculine energy.His mere presence seemed to awaken something motionless within her, disturbing the calmness I had grown used to.As he entered the room, his eyes locked onto hers, both filled with longing. It was clear that they had something going on together.I stood there, a silent observer caught in the crossfire of their unspoken feelings. Questions filled my mind, but I chose to remain on the outskirts, an outsider between two love birds."Who is your friend," he asked Claire, s

"What are you doing here" I asked curious"Can we talk," Jonathan asked"In my office" I ushered him as he followed behind, we both stepped into my office. "You can sit anyway," I told him, returning to my desk and paperwork"So about this morning, am sorry, I never knew you both were that close," he said"He's my boyfriend, Jonathan, going around shirtless and sprouting out about being my ex was not part of the terms or what I signed up for" I quickly reminded him."I know, I know, I just don't trust him" My eyes stared at him."You don't trust Matthew and why is that, you barely know him," I asked curiously"I don't need to know him to know he is a good pretender and up to no good," his voice laced with bitterness and concern"Just say you are jealous Jonathan, that would be understandable" I mocked"Jealous?" he scoffed"Yes jealous, cause you know he is better than you in every possible way" I addedJonathan sighed and looked down at the floor. "Fine, I might be jealous," he admit

(Claire's pov) There I sat in the car, trying to get myself, I was still shaken from the whole incident. I rested my head on the steering wheel. I stepped into the apartment, my eyes scanning the entire house, I guess Jonathan must have gone to bed. Heading into the kitchen, I unlocked the refrigerator and took out an orange juice. I stared at it, before pouring it into the glass, I needed Jonathan far away from me, he was ruining my peace and I didn't sign up for this. Lifting my head, Jonathan stood in front of me, his gaze cold, I guess he wasn't asleep, so I ignored him, taking a sip of my juice. "Do you want something," I asked "I never knew you got remarried after the divorce," he asked, his eyes filled with doubts "Well we all had to move on Jonathan," I told him "Was that the reason you wanted a divorce, because you were already cheating on me," he accused "I guess we were both not sincere in our marriage," I said, trying to hide how disappointed I was that he had the

(Claire's POV)It has been two days since Jonathan stormed out of the house in anger, two days of peace, and two days of not dealing with his constant rumbling about Matthew being a two-sided jerk.It was exhausting fighting over the same thing. I know he was worried about me, but he shouldn't.I don't care where he was or what he was doing currently, but I don't need him back in my life, ruining my peace and happiness, all for his selfish reasons.There I sat in my mom's dining hall. The twins had camp to attend, so I quickly dropped them off. I needed a place to relax and cool off. My mom walked in. Her eyes did not leave mine. she took a seat next to me."Let me guess: Jonathan caused another problem," she said I smiled at her as I tried to hide the truth."Mum, Do you think I'm desperate for love?" I asked her, I know I've been through a lot, especially after six years since the divorce, but I deserve happiness.Why do I feel like whenever good things are about to happen to me? Jo

(Jonathan pov)She stood up heading to the kitchen as I watched her. That was intense, I smirk."What was the sound?" I yelled from the living room"A pan, I think it fell off" she answeredI watched her walk back into the living room but this time she headed straight to her room. "Hey" I called but was ignoredI needed to stay far from her, this feeling she kept bringing out of me, was not what I needed right now, I had a lot on my plate.The rumors might have died down but I needed the truth to bring me up to my feet. As much as I wanted to live in this moment try and make things right between us.I can't afford to bring her more pain, and I can't afford to be hurt in the process too.But I know one thing for sure, I wasn't going to let anyone hurt her, not Matthew, only I am capable of inflicting pain on her.That's our curse and fate.(Claire's pov)I must have lost my mind, what was I thinking, I obviously can't sleep here tonight.

Echoes Of Redemption The Best Part of You
(Claire’s pov)Mia had requested to go shopping, she said she needed something to clear her mind after refusing Simon round the world tour.“How does he make time out of his busy schedule, I still try to understand what kind of a doctor he is,” I asked Mia confused.I had never questioned Jonathan's friendship with Simon, they had met in college and become so close that others mistake them for brothers.He had always had Jonathan's back, according to Jonathan because I saw Simon as a self-centered prick, who only cared about himself and nothing else.Jonathan never speaks much about Simon's background apart from, He is a doctor, a womanizer, and an asshole, I know nothing else, and seriously I don't want to know more.“He owned the damn hospital apparently,” Mia said and I paused walking.I could hear echoes of footsteps in the tiled floor mall, Mia paused walking towards where I stood, her gaze fixed on me.“You didn’t know that, did you?” she asked and I shook my head. “Well my frie

(Mathew’s Pov)“And what if she does matter, will you do the needful, by getting rid of her” Laura askedI could feel the smell of alcohol and warm breath on my skin, as she spoke, her eyes held mine as if searching for the right answer.“That's up to me to decide Laura” I responded.Laura giggled. “Why are you getting angry over nothing, getting rid of her is our main target, so why are you getting pissed off” she questioned.Trying to get her arms off me, her grip tightened, and my eyes sparkled mischievously as she smiled.“Laura, you must hate me badly,” I asked.Her eyes widened, too stunned to speak, slowly she loosened her grip, moving backward as she staggered, grabbing hold of the table beside her.“Hate? That's a strong word and the wrong way to put it, I don't hate you, I wished it was your body lying in that grave not Ryan” she choked on her words, her eyes teary.Walking closer, I tried to touch her but she brushed my hands off.“I still wonder, if things would have been
Echoes Of Redemption Confession
(Claira’s Pov)It has been three days since Jonathan confessed his feelings for me. What am I supposed to do with such information, I groan trying to hold myself from screaming.“I heard drinking to stupor is the best medicine to cure the problem” her mother's voice shot from the kitchen.Claire turned to stare at her mother who raised a bottle of Italian wine she had gotten from the twin's birthday.Smiling, I took the filled glass as she handed them to me, “getting drunk is probably the worst idea Mom, but what gives?” She said, taking a full gulp at it.Claire's mother raised an eyebrow at her daughter, pouring her another glass. She was about to take it in one full sip when her mother gave her a dead stare.She chuckled, taking a little sip as she fixed her eyes on the TV screen. It had been raining non stop since yesterday.Sitting here with her mom being cozy and the girls fast asleep, was something she needed indeed.“Let me guess, Boy's problem,” My mom asked, giving me a side
Echoes Of Redemption A good reason
(Claire’s pov)Walking down the sidewalk with Mia on our way to the cafeteria, I confided in her, carefully articulating my thoughts."I saw something that made me suspicious, but then I worried that maybe I overreacted and jumped to conclusions," I admitted, my voice trailing off uncertainty.Mia turned to look at me, her curiosity piqued. "So, do you regret suspecting him?" she inquired.I fell silent, contemplating Mia's question, and stopped walking altogether.“Why should I feel bad for trying to ensure I'm not dating a cheat, or for trying to prevent a potentially harmful situation?” I responded, grappling with my feelings.Mia let out a sigh and placed her hand on my shoulder. “Claire, when it comes to that aspect, I don't think Matthew fits the bill,” she reassured me.Perplexed, I raised an eyebrow at her remark. "What do you mean?" I asked as we reached the cafeteria entrance.Choosing not to elaborate further, Mia entered the cafeteria and went straight to the counter to or

Chapter 35(Claire’s pov)I Love You!?Maybe I heard it wrong. He was drunk, and I am sure he didn't realize what nonsense he was saying.“Stop thinking about it Claire, I am sure he is just trying to get into your head” I murmured.I pressed the doorbell of Matthew's apartment, patiently waiting till he unlocked the door, but there was no answer, so I took my phone from my bag.Dialing His number, but it kept saying switch off, that was unusual, where the hell was he? I questioned, now getting worried.My phone rang, taking me out of my thoughts as I stared at the caller ID before answering.“Hey Mia” I greeted with a subtle smile on my lips.“Where the hell are you, the signing deal is today, why aren't you here” Mia questioned at the other end of the line.I said nothing, stepping into the elevator, I stared at the moving number on it, as Mia continued to speak.“This is the Big deal, you have no excuse for missing it for real, Are you with Jonathan or Matthew” she asked again, I c
Echoes Of Redemption It Started With You
Claire’s pov“I can't believe you brought her here to my children's birthday party Matthew” I spoke, watching him.“She is our new business partner and aren't you two getting along” he questioned.Does he not know or see how much I wanted nothing to do with her, she was a snake to be weary of.I sighed, “We aren't that close Mathew, of all people should know I don't make friends that easily, I just find her strange,” I told himMathew turned and stared at Laura, who sat in the garden watching the kids. She has been quiet ever since she spoke to Jonathan. I wonder what he might have told her.I excused myself from Mathew and walked towards where she sat, taking a seat next to her.“Aren't they adorable,” she asked, her gaze not leaving them.“They are” I manage to say.“Ryan would have been 7 by now, running and playing too, calling me mommy” she added, I could see the tears gathered in her eyes.Something inside of me shifted, she sobbed, what happened, what did Jonathan say to her, I
Echoes Of Redemption The Uninvited Guest
(Jonathan’s POV)Call it a nightmare but this must be my worst, I grabbed Laura by the arm, pulling her outside.Pacing back and forth the front porch, I furrowed my brows trying to understand what was going on.Why was she here? What does she want? What was she and Matthew up to? What has she told Claire? “First of all, are you fucking crazy, haven't you done enough damage,” I said trying to calm the anger in my voice.Laura smiled at me, walking closer she hugged me, leaving me too stunned to utter a word. My eyes caught Claire as she stared at us from the window before turning to walk away. In one quick swift, I pushed Laura so hard.“Ouch, easy champion, what if I slipped and fell” Laura said, annoyed at my action.“Why are you here, oh Laura if you dare harm Claire, I swear..” she cut me short before I could finish.“Why would I do that, I only came to see you,” she said. “I came to apologize about what happened, for the damages that I caused” I watched her too st

(Claire’s pov)“I hope you weren't busy, when I asked for this meetup” I spoke.Laura stared at the twins, her eyes never leaving them. “They are adorable,” she finally said.“Oh, am sorry, I brought them along, I couldn't just leave them alone, you don't mind,” I asked.I could see the annoyance on her face but she said nothing, picking up her drink she took a sip.“Why am I here?” Laura questioned, getting impatient.“Well, I just thought we might catch up, since we will be working together with my boyfriend it will be a good idea to get to know each other better don't you think so” I trailed in leaving her short of words.Laura's brows arched as she stared at me, I know she must be wondering why now of all time but I was curious too, why now? Why was she in Chicago of all places?“Well I wouldn't mind, since I am new here it won't hurt to make new friends” she responded giving me a forceful smile.“I never knew you had kids, you keep surprising me all the time” I smiled back, rubb
