Adil.“When I asked you to protect her, did you think I was talking about just her crappy ex!” I growled over the phone to one of my body guard, “I’m sorry boss, I’ll do my job better,” he replied, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and kissed my teeth angrily,“You had better! Nothing! I repeat no harm must come to my family!” I growled.“I had one of them taken to your basement, do whatever it takes to make him speak up!” I instructed.“Copied!” He replied, I removed the phone from my ear and ended the call immediately, dropping the phone careless on the bed.I just knew Janelle was going to be stubborn about it, I knew very much that she wasn’t someone to be controlled, but recent circumstances has made her bend and do things she doesn’t want to do.I picked up my phone immediately and dialed Jerry’s number (my assistant), he picked on the first ring and I got talking.“I need you to book me an appointment with the head doctor at Caramel hospital on Monday, do whatever you ca
Janelle The next weekMonday Afternoon, 3:00am The door to my office opened and Bella walked in, she was carrying a small paper bag and her tablet and some other documents in her hands as she struggled with them walking into my office, I looked up at her confused as I stood up from my table and walked up to her to assist her with it, “What’s going on?!” I asked as I took all the documents she was holding and set it carefully on the table,“A delievry came in for you,” she replied as she stretched out the paper bag she was holding, delievry for me ?! I muttered surprised as I took the back from her and slowly pulled the edges apart to see what was inside and it was food, who did I know that would probably bring me food.“There’s a note inside,” I muttered as I dipped my hands inside and took out the note to read what is on it.“I’m sure you haven’t had lunch today, Eat up, Tehilla can be very energetic!” I read the note out loud and I just knew immediately who it was from. Weird!“A
Adil.Later that Evening, 6:00pm ….I slowly turned the keys in the lock and pushed the door opened, I gently closed the door behind me and walked in.“Really?! So what did you learn?!” I heard Janelle’s voice, I paused in my tracks and looked up to see Tehilla and Janelle seating side by side on the dinning chair, they were seated with their backs to the entrance and I guess they were so engrossed in their mini conversation they didn’t really notice that someone just walked into the dinning area.Tehilla gently dropped her spoon on her plates and looked up at her probably trying to think of an answer to Janelle’s question.“I would never eat things from strangers without permission from Dada and Mama,” she replied, Janelle beamed as she tapped her nose playfully with her index finger, and Tehilla chuckled at that, my heart swelled as I stared at the both of them, I felt a tingling feeling in the pit of my stomach, Janelle slowly packed up their plates and stood up from the dinning, s
My eyes not leaving her face, I deeply exhaled and took my seat just across the table from her,“I’m trying to be nice, can you make it easy for me?!” I muttered, she slowly turned to look at me with a scoff, gently sat up in the chair and met my eyes.“Why?! Why are you trying to be nice?! I did not ask for it, did I ?”“What exactly makes you think that after everything you have said and done I’d be interested in being platonic with you?!” She bursted out, I exhaled deeply as I slowly wrapped my hands around my chest,“We’re trying to parent a child together, don’t you think it’s wise to come to a common ground?! I’m doing this for Tehilla!” She scoffed barely letting me complete my words, she gently stood up from her seat and turned to me, a sneer at the corner of her lips, she stepped closer to me and looked up at me. “Common ground?!” She whispered, she shook her head slightly with another irritated scoff as she stepped away from me.“I’ve managed to do that when we’re around T
Adil.Tuesday Morning, A small knock came on my door, the door slowly went open and Jerry walked in, “It’s time,” he whispered, I nodded slowly in reply, with a small bow, he stepped outside and closed the door firmly behind himself.I stood up from my chair, adjusted my suit and headed towards the conference room.Immediately I got to the conference room, I pushed the door open and walked in with a small bow directed at my grandfather, I took slow, steady and confident strides as I walked towards my chair, took my seat there and very soon the meeting got started.“Becky, can you please go ahead,” Grandfather said turning to her, her face lit up in a small smile as she adjusted in her seat and got talking, as she spoke her assistant shared a spiral binded copy of her presentation, I opened it up and stared at it, I shook my head at how tacky her remake was. How very shameless!.Immediately she was done talking, Grandfather nodded in agreement to everything she had said and I took th
Janelle.Meanwhile “Are you sure you’re fine?! You seem to be lost in thought,” I heard Bella ask beside me leaning forward to look at my face, we were on our way to see Alyssa again, I shook slightly as I took my eyes off the road momentarily to glance at her.“Do you perhaps think being mean to someone is a love language?” I asked immediately, my eyes returning back to the road, I could see her with my side vision wrinkle up her face in confusion as she stared at me.“Absolutely not!” She replied leaning back into the chair.“Love language? How?” She muttered to herself, my lips stretched into a small smile as my grip on the steering tightened, that’s what I thought.How can Adil be mean to me the whole time and now he’s saying his trying to be nice?! Trying to be nice?! For what?! Why would he want to do that?! Is he trying to get closer to me so I won’t see him coming when he’s trying to execute his grand evil plan?! I can’t help but think about these things, his words from last
Janelle2:00pm….Sitted on a wheelchair by the window, my hands were folded across my chest as I stared down at the busy buzzing streets.Bella just stepped out of the room bearing bad news, the guy escaped before she could get to him, I heaved a deep sigh my gaze still on the street, why the hell was I messing everything up ? Just when I thought everything was working out for good, now this ?! They had taken out the bullet from my thigh and they had it all wrapped up neatly in bandage, although I still limped while I walked and needed a little support, the pain was minimal and according to the doctors, Adil inisisted that I stayed in the hospital atleast for tonightI heard the door slowly creak open and I turned around to look at who it was.“Oh my God, Janelle,” Enzo muttered as he walked in and shut the door behind him, walking towards me in small sprints.“I heard about your accident, I’m so sorry,” he muttered as he slowly squatted beside me.I finally turned to face him, tear
Adil I walked out of the ward, seething inwardly. I exhaled and started to walk down the hall when I saw that Enzo had left. It was actually good for both of us because I was not planning on taking another glance at him after acting like I was the third wheel, in my own marriage.As I took a turn heading for the hall that burst into the main entrance, my eyes fell on Enzo. Talk about the devil.Enzo was specialized at ruining my day, my life to be specific, he had started again today but I had too many things to work out, today was not going to be that day. Keeping my eyes straight ahead, I walked past him, only to stop a few feet away when he uttered something.“Friends? It’s going to be more than that soon”I stopped in my tracks, my fists folded as I turned to face him. He pushed off from the wall and casually strode until we were a few foot away. His lips curved into a smirk, his eyes gleaming with mockery.“Let’s see…” he trailed off, a brow raised.“How about a bet?”I uncurle
