Janelle.“That bastard?! What do you mean that bastard ?!” I scoffed placing my hands on my hips, he slowly let go of my hands and turned to face me, I could barely read the expression he had on. “Why didn’t you tell me ?! Tehilla had a living mom! And she could just show up Anyday! I could have prepared mentally for it!” I screamed stepping closer to him, the veins in my neck popped out.“What?! Living mom?! No way! What the hell did Enzo say to you! Are you going to chose to believe him over me!” He asked, I scoffed as I looked away from him briefly and turned back to him, “Then who is Ginny?!” I asked my voice barely above a whisper, “I was going to tell you,” he muttered, I exhaled deeply and facepalmed myself brushing my hair backwards, I wiped the tears that streaked down my face and looked up at him.“I’m sorry,” “I shouldn’t have let Enzo get in my head, that’s fine,” I muttered and made to walk away, just as I moved few inches away from him, he turned around and grabbed m
FLASHBACK CONTINUED Five days later.My eyes slowly fluttered open, I turned my head in the bed I was laying on as I tried to register where I was, I saw myself connected to all sorts of tubes and ropes and it came back to me immediately.Janelle! Was the first thing that came to my mind, I reached for the mark on my nose, took it off and threw it to one side of the room, I reached for the drip immediately and peeled everyone of it away aggressively causing blood to spill out of my skin, but I didn’t care about that right now.Just as I got up from the bed, a nurse walked into the room,“Sir, what are you doing?!” She asked rushing towards me, I reached forward and grabbed her by her collar, “Where’s my wife!” I growled my grip on her uniform tightening as I dangled her carelessly, “W-who is your wife?!” She stuttered her face turning red already.“The woman I came in with! Where is she!” I growled.“N-be-next room by your right,” she muttered, I let go of her and she dropped to th
Janelle. I looked up as the door to my office creaked open, Bella, Adil and Jerry walked in, I adjusted in my seat as I sat up straight, they walked in, Adil and Bella sat on the chairs in front of me, while Jerry took his seat on a single chair not very far from where we were.“At this point I think we should speak with Ma’am Becky,” Bella said, Adil slowly turned to look at me,“I agree with you Bella,” he muttered his gaze still on me, I exhaled deeply discretely rolling my eyes to the back of my head. I picked up my phone and played the voice note again, her voice filtered out and the whole room went silent like this was the first time they were listening to it. - How can you guys be so sloppy! Do you think the person on to you is dumb! It might not be my business but if you get bursted out I’d be badly affected! So use your sense! Get your acts together! I already told your Boss to close this damn thing and join me! Don’t make me decide to resolve this myself! You may not …- A
Janelle. “You could have texted me before coming,” I said turning to Enzo, he held his lips up in a purse and stepped back a little.“I wasn’t planning to be here,” he replied his voice coming out calm and smooth, “I just wanted to apologize about yesterday, I spiraled out of control, I shouldn’t have done that,” he muttered and I nodded slowly. “That’s fine,” I whispered.“I hope we can still be friends,” he said stretching out his hands to me, Adil stepped forward immediately glaring his eyes at him.“Have some shame man! And leave!” Adil snorted, he slowly turned to look at me, I just folded my hands across my chest staring at him, he nodded slowly muttering inaudible words, he stepped back slowly and walked out of the room.“Why can’t you tell this guy off once and for all! You keep enabling him!” “After what he did yesterday, he’s apologizing and you’re saying it’s fine?! Nothing is fine Janelle! Don’t you get it!” Adil ranted turning to face me, I exhaled deeply as I walked
Adil. “Progress?!” I asked looking up at Jerry who was standing in front of me.He stretched out his tablet to me, I took it from him, my eyes skimming through the words on the screen as he spoke to me.“I’ve sent out the VIP invitations to the people you’ve asked and sent other invitations out,” he said and I nodded slowly, my eyes still on the screen.“Okay, this is real progress,” I muttered finally looking up at him and stretching his tablet back to him.“This means we’re right on track for Saturday,” I asked and he nodded firmly in reply,“The only things left for that day is the Setup at the event, I’ve sent out a memo to all staff to be there as early as six in the morning to set up everything,” he finally concluded and I nodded slowly in reply.“That’s good,” I whispered, I exhaled deeply and slowly leaned in my chair,“No issue from My mother?!” I asked and he shook his head slowly.“None at all, just a little tantrum about the VIP guest list ,” he said, I nodded slowly and
Adil.*FlashBack*Five years ago.I slowly turned to look at Tehilla where she lay brawling loudly, I increased my pace in making her baby formular.Munutes had turned into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and I haven’t heard a single word from Janelle.She left without a trace and left me to take care of a new born all by myself, with no experience at all.The first few weeks was hell, I had to stop work to take care of her well, my savings was running out very fast and I was rapidly going broke, I slowly turned to look at Tehilla where she lay still crying heavily softly tugging at her hair.I had even gotten better at taking care of her, I was already getting a hang of what her cries meant and how to take care of her well. I gently carried the baby formular to her bed, craddled her in my arms and placed the feeding bottle in her mouth, her tears gradually subsided as she gently sucked on her bottle.A knock suddenly came on the door, I paused and slow
Adil.“So how is work going?! Everything under control?! anniversary event is in two days,” Grandpa asked, I slowly looked up at him and nodded slowly while still cutting on my steak.“Everything is in place,” I replied shortly, just as I was about to say something, Becky interrupted me,“Did you hear of your grand son’s plan for the anniversary?! I just knew after he ran away from home, nothing much could come from him,” she said her voice coming out soft and smooth with a small sigh, my head snapped towards her immediately, the veins in my neck becoming visible, she sure knows how to irk the hell out of me,“How I chose to run my management shouldn’t bother you,” I snorted in replied, she scoffed as she gently stabbed her steak and raised it to her mouth chewing gently, she picked up her glass of water, drank from it and slowly turned to me.“Where were you when I was doing everything?! Frolicking around and making babies, and now that everything is in place, you want to ruin it wit
Janelle.“Hey look at what I found,” Bella said to me as she walked into my office, I slowly looked up at her and took the tablet she stretched out to me.I took the laptop from her and stared into it, “That’s the shell company Alyssa told us about that John invested into,” she said and I nodded slowly already seeing the correlation,“I also found it as one of the shell company under Jeremy Max, he uses it to keep money but it doesn’t actually exist,” she said, “There’s a probability that he killed his brother because of this,” she said, I slowly looked up at her be handed back her tablet to her.“We have to confirm this,” I said and she nodded slowly, I slowly leaned Into my chair and looked across the table into her eyes,“We’ll do what we were supposed to do at first, he died of poisoning right?! I’ll speak to every maid that worked in his house,” I said, her eyes went wide as she pulled the chair in front of her out and took her seat.“It was a big house, how do you intend to m
