_JANIS' POV_

Sunlight crept into my room through the flailing curtains that draped down my windows.

My eyes gradually fluttered open to the parallel rays of sunlight and I yawned, stretching my body before sitting upright. My vision was hazily blurry, and my throat felt very acidic.

It took a while for my vision to adjust and I quickly reached for the jug of water placed on my bed stand.

Gulping down a glass of water, a heavy sigh escaped my lips.

Today is the day I announce at my company's board meeting this lingering decision that's causing restlessness in my body.

I would be announcing my temporary leave for a year as a result of my pregnancy, and at the same time, handling the position of CEO to my younger sister, Stravis, temporarily.

Can Stravis handle such responsibility? I know her capabilities and I know she did quite a good job as the manager of my company, but being a CEO was a completely different and higher responsibility altogether.

Can I entrust Stravis with such a huge

    ✓JANIS's POV✓ "Janis, I know we didn't ask before, but who's the father of your child?" My Dad asked, and I almost choked upon hearing that question from him. This is what I've been fearing so greatly... this damned question, because I don't know the right answer to that either. I got tongue-tied and just averted my gaze from my father. "Yes, Janis and is he wealthy? Will you both get married soon?" My mum added with a note of urgency in her tone, making me gulp and I faced them both. "He is well-to-do, but not as rich as us, and we aren't getting married. As for his identity, please don't ask me about that ever again." I deadpanned, and the response I received was... well, depicted that I took things to a slightly harsh height. My parents were taken aback by my response and they stared at me with widened orbs including Stravis. "I think I've had enough for dinner." I quickly added that I hadn't touched any food and stood up, walking out on them, or followed closely behind, trail

    JAX The sun's rays illuminated brightly through the curtains and into the room. Its brightness pulled me out of my unconsciousness. I struggled to open my eyes and when I was fully conscious, my head began to bang heavily, it was heavy and uneasy. This was a result of the amount of alcohol I had sculled down in the bar last night. I had drank so much that I became intoxicated as a result of the excessive intake of alcohol. I woke up very weak and tired, I didn't regret last night's drinking though because it was fun and I needed it to relieve myself from work. I stood up feeling lightheaded but I managed to walk over to the table where I kept my aspirin, took two pills, and gulped it down after taking the water from the glass cup at the table. ***** The atmosphere was cool and frigid, the cold breeze swept through the city as the moon shuns on the earth. The night was bright and chilled, however, my body was back to being strong and energetic. Loud music and chattering from insi

    Nine months later... JANIS I faced up with my back lying on the hospital bed. I was worn, my weak eyes were fixed on the ceiling that seemed to spin in my orbs. I was weak from pushing the baby from my womb, the pain was so excruciating, I almost gave up the ghost. My body and soul were engrossed with so much agony. Perhaps I wasn't fit to bare a child yet but at last, I give birth to my child safe and sound. I can't lift a muscle or blink an eyelid because every part of my body was in pain. Multiple sweat beads coated my forehead and heat radiated off my body. My chest heaved frantically with each breath I took and I tried so hard not to pass out as a result of exhaustion. "How are you feeling now?" the nurse who assisted the doctor during labor walked up to me and placed her hands on my head. "That baby almost claimed her life, she was almost about to give up" another nurse murmured to her colleague in the ward. "I'm so glad she birthed the child successfully, the doctor had

    JAX My legs moved briskly on their own accord towards the huge gates of Janis' mansion. Yes. I was back here again, I was back to the place it all happened more than seven months ago. To the place where my reckless nightstand birthed a child nine months later. I hadn't forgotten this place. Even though months had passed since I came here, this place ed fresh in my head. The memory stood clear like it all happened yesterday. But my motive for coming here had been altered. The last time I dropped by, I was bringing back a drunk Janis from one of her frivolous escapades in the night club and we ended up having such passionate and heated sex. Just looking at this house from the iron gates that protected it brought back memories. Now I was back again, not to have sex, but to claim what was rightfully mine-- My child. I didn't know our careless act would lead to a baby but it did and now I wanted to claim that baby. I didn't want to be like my father who ran away from his res

    JAX I glared at the Janis' younger sister as she ambled her way back into the car and banged the door so loudly. Gearing up her engines, she drove off leaving a trail of dust behind. Anger was an understatement of what I felt at the moment.This woman had utterly disgraced me all because of her wealth. My rage seared words in my heart and it tightened around my chest, almost making me forgetting to breathe. I will never forgive the Walters for this humiliation and I promise to pay them back. The only way I could make them pay was to become rich and come back for my son.With determination in my heart and a sternly resolve across my face, I vowed to come back to come claim my son but the only difference was that this time, I won't come back as a poor and wretched man. I will come back as a billionaire and I'll get my son back.Whether Janis liked it or she didn't. My eyes drifted down to the dollar notes the woman threw at me and my fist clenched in anger, my eyes seethin

I would have told her about the idiot that paraded himself as the father of her child" Stravis mumbled underneath her breath. She dropped her bag and the extra bag which contained baby things onto a table in the ward. Still feeling irritated, Stravis ransacked her bag in a bid to get her perfume.A smile formed on her face once she had gotten the perfume and without wasting any more time, Stravis began spraying the perfume all over her self."God he stinks so much of poverty. I hope I didn't contact any disease" Stravis shrieked, her face morphing into a scowl.Spr

I could still vividly recollect the insults and vain words hurled at me by Stravis Walter. Right now, I wish I could just get rich with the snap of my fingers.Nothing mattered to me more right now than to make excessive wealth. I want to be ten times richer than the Walters. I want to be so wealthy that even the rich and powerful would tremble and cower at the mention of my name. Just my voice should be enough to make them stutter and pee on themselves.I want nothing more than to teach rude, proud and obnoxious people like the Walters a big lesson of their lives.

    JAXI sat on my heavy duty office chair behind the huge brown mahogany table, reminiscing about my conversation with Janis last night. Even after so many years her eyes still sparkled and her orbs were beautifully structured.I couldn't hold back the thoughts of how beautiful Janis was. Her lips parted in such a very elegant manner as she opened them to speak. Little observations about Janis Walter clouded my mind as I sat in my office, this observations weren't initiated last night at the party so why now?Irrespective of the fact that she looked so stunning, I wasn't interested in all that at the party, my concerns were focused on my son. Getting custody for my son was my main agenda not reuniting with Janis.I was stern and strict to Janis particularly because i needed information about my son, the disrespect and degrading attitude of the Walters was another reason why I was so strict and rude to Janis at the party.After everything Janis and Stravis had done to me, been friendly t

I didn't know how long I had been in here with him but I was too scared to walk out of the room. I just want Jerome to be by my side at all times like this. I wanted to hold him in my hands and kiss him daily whilst assuring him of my protection and desire to keep him. I wanted Jerome to know how much I loved him. I can't let Jax have his way and separate me from my son. The fear of loosing Jerome to Jax was so terrifying that I could not even drop Jerome down for a nano-second . I was too mortified whenever I recounted Jax's threat. He wasn't bluffing and neither was he going to back down. I can't afford to loose this battle.Never. A rapid knock on the door startled me and had the hairs on my body standing. My breathing hitched in my throat and my heart skipped a beat. Could it be Jax.No..absolutely not.

I heard Stravis yell at me for my rough demeanour. I shut all her wordings out. The only thing I could hear right now was the heavy pounding of my heart in my rib cages.It felt like my heart could jump out of my body any minute. My tremor was at its summit and my breathing would frequently clog in my chest.I swiftly pushed open the huge doors of the mansion and dashed upstairs with my trepadised feet.

I just came here so I can get to know the whereabouts of my son. Where is my son Janis?" Jax spat at me, his tone bitter and irked. I was confused. Time stood still in an instant for me and it seemed like the universe and all in it had come to a halt. What did Jax just say? Did I fucking hear him right?"Excuse me?"
