Janelle.10.00pm ..“Hey I’ll help you with that,” Adil said walking up to me as he packed up all the plates and carried it into the kitchen,“I’m sorry if my dad made you uncomfortable,” I said walking behind him carrying the cups and glass jar, I gently dropped it in the basin.“It’s fine,” he whispered turning to me with a smile, “I’m used to your dad,” he added, my head suddenly began to ache, my hands flung to my head and I staggered backwards immediately, he noticed and reached for me immediately, I rubbed my forehead slowly,“My head suddenly felt fuzzy, and I feel tired,” I whispered, he swoop me up in his arms immediately,“I’ll do the dishes, you should rest” he said, with the banging pain in my head I could not even bring myself to argue with him, I just let him carry me up, he kicked the door to his room open and walked in, I slowly turned to look at him,“It’s more comfortable here,” he whispered as he dropped me on the bed, he helped me take off my shoes and tucked me i
Adil. I pushed the door to Becky’s office open and stormed in, I barged towards her table and slammed the table angrily,“What this nonsense game you’re playing with me ?!” I growled, she relunctantly looked away from her laptop and looked up at me, “Don’t you think it’s too early to constitute a nuisance here?!” She asked calmly, slowly reclining in her chair, it took me a whole lot of self control and respect for my late dad to restrict myself from reaching out and squeezing her neck in my grip, “I told you to not involve My wife in any of this! You have a problem with me ?! Face me!” I growled, she smirked as she pushed her chair backwards and got up on her feet, “What you don’t know is that your wife is the center of this!” She muttered as she gently walked away from behind her desk and walked up to me.“Is this you confessing that you’ve attempted murder on my wife twice!” I yelled, she slowly wrapped her hand around her chest, her lips stretched into a small smile and she s
Becky.4:00pm Her office.“Why did you do it!” The door pushed open as Enzo barged into my office, I rolled my eyes to the back of my head as I let out a sigh and looked up at him, Adil first now this?! “I told you to leave her to me!” He growled angrily, my eyes dimmed as I stared up at him, I gently pushed my chair backwards and stood up to him,“Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with your target!” I muttered, he exhaled, tucked his hands into his pocket and moved closer to me,“I’ve told you, leave Janelle to me, I’ll take care of her!”“This girl will be the death of you! Do you think she’ll ever consider you for once!”“I even told you to join to company so that she wouldn’t trace anything to you, you refused! She’s on to you! If you don’t get rid of her now you’ll live to regret it!” I scoffed, I can’t believe he’s been sentimental right now, I’ve always known him to get rid of anything that poses as a threat to his business but now it’s a different story.I will not sit bac
Meanwhile.Janelle. “You okay?!” Adil asked as he took his seat beside me and placed his laptop on his legs, he opened them up and got working, “My first therapy session is tomorrow,” I whispered, he carried his laptop immediately and placed it on the space beside him, he gently moved up closer to me and took my hands in his, “Do you want me to go with you?!” He asked, I nodded slowly and he gently let go of my hands, reached for my hair and tucked it behind my ear, “Sure, I’ll do that,” he whispered, I smiled at him, genuinely grateful for the gift of him and how much he has put me as a priority in the few months we have know each other for. “Grandfather wants us to have dinner at his place tommorrow, it’s been a while,” he said, I held my lips up in a purse and nodded slowly, “ No problem,” I replied, he moved closer to me and raised my chin up to look into his face, “Tell me if it’s uncomfortable for you, I’ll let him know that we won’t be available tomorrow,” he said, I slo
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
