So this is where he's meeting with foreign investors was going on.
I kept looking at their smiling faces with a set jaw. She was still fixing his tie with a sweet smile on her beautiful face while still listening to what he was saying to her. They were so busy with their talk that they didn't acknowledge my presence. They looked like happy couples you see in movies, just perfect and made for each other. She suits him more with her beautiful features. After all, he always wanted a beautiful girl, not an ugly girl like me.
That thought did something to me. I lowered my eyes feeling the madness increase inside me. I heard a loud laugh which made me lift my eyelids and look at them. The woman hit playfully on his arm and said something back which made him grin. He can even make a girl laugh. I never knew he had this talen

Why does everyone nowadays find me in my most embarrassing situation? "Aunty" "Mom, " we both said at the same time in our horrid voices. Her wide eyes moved from me to Jack's hair. I was holding in a tight grip to make him go bald. I immediately let go of his hair and got away from him. Ava was still standing with a shocked face while looking at us. Jack sighs in relief as I let go of his hair then he lazily stood up while taking his place behind me. Their mixed emotional gaze was making me so nervous. I could see curiosity in their eyes to know what I was doing, barely dressed on top of Jack. I felt Ava and aunty Sam's eyes moving on my body as soon as I stood up but before their eyes could move on the red mark on my body I clasped the shirt closely to my body. I can't
I think it's now high time for me to get doomed. I just smiled faintly at her words. Dad, uncle, and aunty now everyone will know about us staying together. I can't escape this time. I'm getting these bad jitters just thinking about when all of them will ask us questions about me staying with Jack. This is going to be a shock for dad because he still doesn't know I'm living with Jack. But I think he will know about it too soon when aunty tells him. I have to be prepared for his answer and question section. All these things we're making me nervous. "Bye Nina," said Liam in his baby voice while bringing me back to my present. I smiled looking at his smiling face. For a second it made me forget all my worries. Kids have the power to make you forget all the bad and disturbing things in your life. They unknowingly cheer yo
I want to see how he will deal with it for two weeks. I patted Liam's back as he was still sobbing a little in his sleep. I don't know what made him cry like this. As I was patting his back with half-open eyes I saw Jack looking at us. The sulking expression on his face was replaced with something else. He was looking at us with this unknown expression in his eyes which made me raise my eyebrows in question. He moved his head in denial looking at my question. He lifted the blanket and covered us with that mysterious expression still hovering in his light brown eyes. As he covered us I didn't think much and closed my eyes as tiredness of the whole day took over me while making me drift to sleep under the warmth of a blanket. The next day I woke up a li
He was looking at him like he was looking at his biggest enemy in this world. Looking at him after that day brought so many memories back. All the things that happened on that day started playing in front of my eyes like projectors were playing. Jack and Ryan fought like mad dogs on that day not letting go of each other's throat and when I tried to stop them they pushed me so hard that I fell, ripping my knees. It brought back all the sore memories. I was so heartbroken that day I never expected him to fight like that with Jack because I know Jack was a mad dog and he still is but he was not like him and that's why I became friends with him. He was sweet and caring but he turned out to be like him. That day he lost the face of my sweet friend and became the person from whom I was trying to run away. &nb
Before I could stop them I saw history repeating in front of my eyes. Listening to his words, Jack's demeanour changes. He was looking at him like he was looking at his biggest enemy in the fighting ring. He was totally in his beast control as his sanity had reached the insanity level. Within a matter of seconds, Jack pounced on him with his big fist landing in Ryans' face. I have seen him fighting like this in the ring many times but there were people present to control his beast but here no one was to stop him from spilling the blood. A gasp of horror left my mouth at the scene unfolding in front of my terror's filled eyes. With wide eyes, I saw that day's animalistic fight repeating in front of my eyes. That day even Zanvil tried to stop him but he didn't listen to him
I knew I was trying to win the losing Hate War but I won't give up till the end. A warm tear slid out of my eyes as I remembered that day again. It has been two weeks since he said those words to me and tore the power of attorney papers in front of my eyes. He tore my last hope in front of my eyes two weeks ago and it still feels like yesterday he shattered my soul. After he left me alone in his bedroom I grabbed my bag and left for my apartment. On my way bracing myself to face any problem he created in my life. I knew how cruel and determined he is in getting what he wants. He will do anything to get me in his inescapable trap and I need to be prepared to get out of it without harming myself. He has been patiently waiting and building his trap so he could trap me but he doesn't know I was prepared for anything
He didn't say a single word listening to my accusations and his silence was enough to answer my question. Because I knew he would never be able to take Amelia out of his heart and it made my heart sink to my stomach. "Why aren't you answering my question," I asked in my little shaky voice. My heart was on the verge of crying. I knew that his heart beats for her even if hers doesn't. "If you don't know the answer then let me tell you," I said in my anger-filled voice but it came out a little shaky as I felt my whole body starting to feel weak like all the energy was getting drained out of it. As much as I thought about it, the pain I was feeling was becoming so bad somewhere inside me and I couldn't take it.
Pitch-black darkness completely took over me. "Nina----Nina" I heard a fading panic-filled voice of Jack. My body becomes weightless as it starts to lose its stability ready to collapse and break forever. "Nina" I again heard Jack's fading voice as I fully lost my capability of hearing any sound too. I felt like falling into a lake that was filled with cold winter water. I felt the cracking of ice as my body hit it to submerge it completely. The coldness of the water was giving a cooling sensation to my burning body. But soon that sensation went away even before I could breathe in a little comfort. I opened my eyes to see where exactly I was. But as I tried to open them they felt so heavy as If something was stopping them from opening them.
I pulled all the bags out of the storage to pack them with my kid's clothing. "Jack help me" I shouted from storage as I needed help to carry them to our room. "Coming cupcake," he shouted from downstairs. He came to the storage room and then looked at me and the bag with confusion. "Cupcake, why do we need so many bags?" he said, eyeing all the five bags in front of me. "To lack our clothes, what else would I want so many bags," I said while dusting the bag. "But still don't you think there are too many," he asked, still eyeing the back. "No they are not I need to pack all the clothes for the kids, don't you know Aiden dirty his clothes more than three ti
"Amelia, Aiden" I called my kid's name while searching for my imported files on the desk. Why are they not answering me? "Oh God why I'm not getting it," I said in annoyance as all the things were scratched on the desk and some were even lying on the floor. I stood up with both hands on my hip and eyes on all the mess that was in front of me while exhaling deeply. My desk was a total mess and his desk in the room was not looking any better either. Yesterday I and Jack made this whole mess. We messed up our shared office when kids were at the school. My cheeks burned red as I remembered how I begged him as he kept teasing me to the point I needed to scratch his back needly. It continued until I passed out in his arms. That Satan never lets me off easily. I bit my lower lip as the mere memory of yesterday made me feel hot again. The way he was holding me while saying all the dirty words to me made me feel as if he was still
I don't know when we both slept looking at his cute sleeping face with a happy smile on our faces. The next day I woke up to find me and Jack trying to fit in a small bed trying not to squeeze the baby. He was still asleep with his one hand firmly placed on my waist as if making sure I didn't fall out of bed in the middle of the night. I looked at our sleeping baby and then at him. He was still so deep in sleep. I know we slept less because the baby woke up in the middle of the night crying telling me he was hungry. Jack stayed up with me until the baby fell asleep. Even though I told him to sleep he didn't, instead, he helped me in making the baby burp after I breast-feed him. I knew it was his way of saying he was there for both of us. It warms my heart knowing he was willing to help me in everything. I already knew
And that's how our baby boy made its grand entry into this world. I jolted up from my sleep with the noise of a small cry. Even though my body was feeling weak I tried to sit up. I was still in the hospital and I tried to find the source of the cries I could hear. Hearing those cries my chest heaved with all the disastrous emotions. I found the sound coming from the cradle beside me. When I looked more, that's when I saw a small figure in it crying. My baby was crying and looking at him in discomfort my chest became even heavier. The urge of making him soothe his pain increased in me. I tried to move out of bed even though there was not much strength left in me. I found an IV attached to my wrist. Still, I tried to move to take my crying baby. I was about to step down from my bed when the room door opened, making me l
"Jack my water broke" Those words from her mouth were enough to scare me. The panicked look in her eyes scared me even more. I moved my head down and saw liquid pooling at her feet with a hammering heart. I met her gaze again. I just kept looking at her with a blank look on my face not knowing what to do next. It "My water broke" she repeated her words this time a little loud and with more panic flooding her tone. Listening to her words the chattering on the table stopped making everyone look at us. "We need to hurry fast to the hospital," Jane said in her eager voice, getting my attention. Listening to her I immediately stood up in alert mode while rubbing my face in nervousness. "Jack bri
JACKS POV I buttoned up my tuxedo blazer and hurriedly walked out of the room to go to the adjoining room to help my very pregnant wife. Opening the door I saw she was standing in front of the bed with Amelia standing in front of her dressed in her pink frock. The mother and daughter were speaking to each other and laughing about something. Their laughter was like music to my ears. These two ladies had a special place in my heart. I walked in and my little angel's happy blue eyes fell on me. "Daddy" she squeals in happiness, throwing her hands up for me to take in and I didn't waste time and took her in my arms with a big smile as she stretched on my face. "How do I look? Did you like my frock" she asked in her excited voice. "First let me see
"I hope I'm not disturbing you ladies" He flashed us his pearly white teeth smile and from the corner of my eyes, I looked at Ava who seemed pissed looking at his smiling face. "Long time no see Mrs Miller," he said while looking at me. "I was wondering how you are doing. You look very much pregnant and beautiful as always," he said in his heavy voice which had an accent mixed with his English making me wonder where exactly he was from. I blushed a little at his compliment. He always says all those cheesy words to me, making me think if he likes to flirt with everyone. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ava sighing in frustration. It was visible on her face that she was not happy to see him there.
"I love you too." The memory of the day makes me smile even in my dreams as from now onwards I have decided only to live with all the happy moments and forget all the bad ones. I have decided to keep moving forward, forgetting all the bitterness of my past but not forgetting the experience I got with it and it is what makes me feel powerful every day. It's what has given me the strength to live my life with all my past good and bad occurrences. These days saying I love you back makes me feel happy. It gives me the power to express my love for him which I have never done before. Those words never stop coming from his mouth and it always warms my heart when he says them to me. It makes me feel like I'm in love with him all over again. The awareness of the person I love loves me back with the same power and thriving in it make
"Yes I would love to" That night we celebrated and Amelia was so happy after listening to my reply. She jumped in happiness from here and there telling everyone that now she had mom and dad. His happy laughter made Jack's and my heart swell up in happiness. I always wanted her to be my daughter and now she was as I had already signed the papers. All the foundation kids were happy for her. She was the favourite of everyone here. They were a little sad knowing she would move with us but they didn't show her and celebrated with her. It has been over a month since that day. Dad, uncle, and aunty come frequently to meet Amelia with gifts for her. They are showering her with lots of love. Why won't they? After all, she is their first grandchild. A smi
