JANISThe car tires ceased it's rational movement as the car halted to a stop inside the hospital's vicinity. My son's wellbeing is everything to me, his health is important to me therefore I must bring him to the hospital every month for a checkup.As Jerome's mother I must make sure that he is fit on all aspects of his life. I made a promise to be his mother and also his father, I said I wasn't going to let him lack anything and that includes stable health. Although his father is no longer a mysterious Uber driver, he is now a rich populous business tycoon who will stop at nothing to take his child away from me. I'll always stand by Jerome, guide him and protect him.Come to think of it, Jax's character has completely changed. Does money really change people?He was so calm and sweet when he was an Uber driver but ever since he gained so much wealth he has become very arrogant, rude and stubborn.I really hope Jax listens to mum and mellows down for the sake of Jerome. Things will
JAXI couldn't stop my mind from drifting back to the moments I saw my son; Jerome. His smile was beaming and his giggles were soft.All features about him were perfect, he was as handsome as I pictured him to be. I'll be back for him someday but for now I just have to focus on my father's health.I lost mum but I can't loose him too, he just came into my life I can't let him leave after few years. We still have so much to do together. Last year my father; Leo was diagnosed for Diabetes, I was frightened and devasted to hear the doctor's reports about him, how on earth did he get diabetes? Ever since I saw the reports I promised to always stand by him and help him get through it. This wasn't how I pictured loosing my father the second time. It's way too sudden and unexpected.Asides Jerome, he is my only family right now and I'll do everything in my power to see that he is healthy again."Come in" the doctor obliged from behind the door of his office. I held my father by the hand and
JAXI was so excited to put all plans into action this month, every suggestion made was valuable. This business deal will definitely be in our favour.My secretary held up the briefcase and escorted me back to my office. "Make sure you submit the suggestions to email this evening, I need them. And get me a cup of coffee; Cappuccino" I said."Ok sir" my secretary uttered before leaving the office. Within few minutes he returned with a hot cup of coffee in a small plate.Cappuccino has always been my favourite type of coffee, I'm usually not picky with things but I'm definitely picky when it comes to coffee. I picked up my phone mindlessly and began to scroll through the net, not for any reason particularly. I just wanted to ease myself from all the stress.My subconscious quickly reminded me of my meeting with Janis and my son, everytime I sit alone I begin to remember those moments, for some reason that I can't explain. I also collected her number and promised to give her call, I co
Sounds of plates and trays dropping at different tables filled the atmosphere of the busy restaurant, classy men and women ate mildly. The restaurant was quiet but also a little noisy.Janis and Jax continued to eat their lunch calmly, there was grave silence at the table although Jax could perceive that Janis had a thousand unspoken words. She had her eyes more stationed on Jax than the lunch in front of her. Her eyes kept examining him again and again, when she notices his eyes slowly boring into hers, she withdraws and throws her gaze down to her food.She was famished to see Jax all decked up in wealth, the question of how he became so big and rich continued to hurl up inside her. Janis couldn't help but admire him at every chance she gets. Jax on the other hand was still very focused on his lunch but he also caught her eyes fixed on him a few times. He could see through her self control, the self control that held her from asking the questions she had on the inside. Jax paused
INTRO~She had more than enough and combined with her parent's wealth, spending money on unnecessary things was not strange to her.Rather, it had become a habit... Something she had to do daily.Stepping out of a hotel's main space and into the driveway, she beeped her Ferrari open, got into it, and drove off to her next destination.Her name was not something new.It was well known.Successful young ladies were not rare, but she was extraordinarily Successful.Very successful, she had everyone at her beck and call.She was...Janis Walter! ••••Janis's Ferrari pulled into a club almost on the outskirts of the city. It was a very popular club, and she was a regular there.As usual, the security left their posts by the doors of the club and rushed to her side.Janis handed her purse to a lady who ran to her out of habit, and she walked behind the bodyguards as they headed inside the clubhouse.Janis picked out the VIP seat as she had always done every time she came here and a bodygua
Jax looked over at the lady once more as he got into her Ferrari.Janis woke up again."How did you get my keys? Are you a thief?" She questioned, still drunk as hell."You told me it was in your purse and gave me permission to take it out so I could drive you home earlier, don't you remember?" Jax explained to her, but she had slept off again.He could only sigh and start the engine.As he drove, he took care not to drive too fast or too rough as the person who turned out to be his client tonight was an important person and could have him thrown into jail without bail or even killed with just a snap of her fingers.There was another reason behind why he was driving with such care though. The car was so expensive, and of course, he had no money to pay for the repairs if it got scratched by mistake or something.His entire life savings didn't amount to even a quarter of the money the cost of this car which he had so mightily evaluated in his head."I heard some noises earlier."Janis wa
•~Two weeks later~•ꨄJANISꨄI flung my eyes open and got out of my bed in a hurry and into the bathroom as fast as I could. I bent over the sink and placed my mouth over it before releasing the liquid from my mouth into the sink.Turning the tap on, I watched as the clear almost see-through liquid poured out of the faucet, and washed away the disgusting one that came out from my body.I stared deeply in confusion at the water pooling in the sink and going out through the drain at the same time.I raised my head and immediately felt pain slash through my head. I felt a slight headache. Staring into the mirror that faced me, I realized soon what had just happened.I vomited.Wait...I vomited??!It wasn't like I was sick or anything.Thinking of the possible reasons that could have made me throw up so early in the morning, I found only one that seemed to match my recent activities.I became scared immediately.It couldn't be. It shouldn't be.My days of a carefree life would come to an a
_JANIS' POV_The air was tensed and heated up as my sister and I stared daggers at each other, our bloodshot glares scaring the wits out of all the other employees that would have dared to interfere.What the fuck is wrong with Stravis?I mean... who the hell gave her the authority to fire my workers without my fucking consent!?"Well, I am the owner of this company, the CEO!" I yelled at her, reminding her of the status I held in this company with a fiery blaze of indignation burning in my eyes.I am the CEO and Stravis has no fucking right to fire my workers without my knowledge, sister or no sister, I made her the manager of this company, so I have the supreme power here!"And I'm the one who runs things here! You don't even know half of what goes on here!!" Stravis yelled back at me, matching my enraged tone.Is Stravis nuts or something?!I matched up to her, my chest heaving with anger. The air became too tight to breathe in and silence like wildfire spread throughout the office

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
JANIS' POV I straddled Jerome in my hands, planting kisses all over his face whilst he giggled and tittered repeatedly. 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 waved the thought off. He wouldn't come
JANIS' POV The moment the screeching tires of our car came to a halt, I didn't even wait for a nano-second to pass by before lurching out through the doors of the car.I slammed the doors shut behind me causing Stravis to flinch as she was fixing up the loose buttons of her blazer."Sheesh Janis, the house isn't running away you know!?" 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. Jax's words still echoed and resonated within the walls of my ears. He wanted to take Jerome away from me and he was damn serious.His entire physique and aura spoke of a deadly and threatening wealth. It was evident in him. He wasn't dressed as a
"Thank you so much Mr Benson" Stravis appreciated, her eyes glinting cheerfully. "Thank you too, we look forward to working with you Miss Stravis" Mr Benson gave a warm smile."We will come to a conclusion about the deal once it's approved, for now you can reach us on our mail" he added whilst handing over a business card to Stravis.Delightfully they shook hands and walked away,a victorious smile played on the lips of Stravis as she raised her head up and congratulated herself for a job well done.Securing a meeting and a partnership deal with Mr Benson was a huge step for the Walter corporation, this particular partnership deal will elevate the company and bring great value.In Stravis moment of self praises her eye stumbles upon a very familiar person, she strained her eyes to see this familiar figure clearly as the young man walked towards her. Recognition dawned on his facials as he got closer."Isn't this that poor man that came asking for his son years ago?" Stravis said to he
JANIS' POV "Cut the charade Janis. We aren't on friendly terms and we've never been on friendly terms. Don't act like you care about me because you never did. 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?" I asked with raised brows, my confusion written all over my face."You heard me right Miss Walter. I believe I didn't speak French or Latin. I came here for my son so cut the charade and give me my son! Where did you keep him?!" he snapped scowfully at me. I was dumbstruck, robbed off my speech and at lost for words. What the hell!Who the fuck does Jax thinks he is to just barge into my life and demand for our son like he isn't my son too!?He said it like as if I forcefully kept the child away from him. I wou
