“Hello, Chad?” I say hopefully into the phone, expecting him to speak.

“Hi, Jen,” Another voice startles me mildly but I recognize it in a heartbeat, it’s Naomi.

“Hello, Noami,” I reply to her after sighing. I still have not forgiven her for how much she has affected my life and everything around me, but let’s face it, my life was not a fairy tale before she kidnapped Jake, so it’d be best to give her the benefit of the doubt.

“You don’t sound like you are going to chew my head off,” She says and I chuckle.

“Yeah, you got a point,” I say in a breathy way.

“I know you called to talk to Chad, but he is not here. He went to the store a couple of minutes ago and left his phone,” Naomi informs me, and I nod as if she can see me.

“But we could talk until he comes back…” She suggests tentatively and I laugh. Is she being serious? She does not like me and I don’t like her also, we just tolerate each other because of Chad. But I guess we could try to talk and see where it leads.

“Sure,” I agre

    SEVEN MONTHS LATER and Jake has grown as fast as lightning, and he is such a talkative. Carlos went back to America to meet spend the holidays with his family. Chad and Naomi came from West Africa and they have opened up the side that was given to them, it is an African store that has African-styled slippers, and clothing. The side that was given to James and Carlos is now a Salon and barber shop merged together and it is doing so well and bringing a great amount of profit.Robert and I have finally opened up our side, but we took the longest to do so, why, I don’t really know but I am grateful that we took our own time. The bakery is up and running and we have a couple of bakers that are also helping me learn how to bake. Jake is finally going to start school, but that is going to be tomorrow. Right now, he is with us in the car and we are headed to the beach. Robert is driving and Chad is in sitting next to him while I sit in the backseat with Jake and Naomi.Chad and I settled ou

    “I can’t go back to my old life,” I say under my breath and then I place the phone back on the sink. I look at myself in the mirror and I take in a deep breath. The offer is tempting, but I not only promised Robert and the others that I would put assassinating aside, but I also promised myself.Killing people and helping others get revenge brought me great fulfillment before, but again. When I think about all the people I killed, even if it was self-defense or they deserved it, I had no right to take their life from them. By me taking away their life, I took away their chance to change and to become better people.After I am done with the bathroom, I take my phone and I step out. I can see Robert snuggled under the duvet and he is already asleep. I walk towards the bed and I flop my body down on it. Today was such an eventful and memorable day, and I am left tired.Before I can relax so I can go to bed, I take my phone and delete the email. I do not need it in my phone, it would only

    We have dropped Jake at school and he did really well. I thought he would be crying, but he was more excited than nervous. Robert went to have lunch with Rob so they can get to know each other even more while James went on his date that he is so excited about.Chad and Naomi took one of the cars and they are riding around the Island, spending the day together, so I pretty much have the day to myself. I have had enough time to think about Russell’s offer and my answer has not changed.Yes, I am tempted to take the deal. Robert is not saying anything but I know that we are low on money, especially after paying for Jake’s education, even though it’s worth it and I would not want it any other way.I feel like I am doing something wrong by not telling Chad and the others that Russell has reached out to me, so I am going to do so tonight. Carlos should be back tonight so everyone would be there.Right now, I am at a Turkish coffee shop and I have had some food to eat, but I can not stop my

    “Here, have some wine,” Russell offers me as I sit next to him at the small bar. He is fairly attractive for his age, and he has a demanding presence, one that commands respect.“I’m fine Russell, I only came here for one thing, and that is to tell you to your face that I will not be accepting your offer,” I explain to him and he sips some wine from a fancy wine glass in his hand.“Jen Davis,” He says my name and then he places his wine glass on the marble counter. He has a smirk on his face as if he knows something that I do not, and that puts me on edge.“You were the best of the best,” He says ethusathi“What happened?” His question tempts me to begin to overthink, but I shut it down as soon as I can. I am not going to torture myself mentally.“Nothing happened, people change, and so did I,” I give him an answer and he seems a bit upset by it.“So you are not going to do the job I am offering?” He asks and I wag my head as to say no.“I have said this over and over, why don’t you g

    Russell’s nose is obviously bleeding and he has some serious bruises on his face. Well, that is what he gets for almost choking me to death, but something is not right. He could have guards swamping in here the moment I attacked him, but he did not. The guards came in at the last minute, I feel like this was a trap and if it was, I fell right in it.“Jen, you heard them, get off him,” I hear Natalie say and I stand to my feet while keeping my hands raised in the air, for so many guns are aimed right at me by Russell’s guards.Russell begins to laugh as Natalie helps him to his feet.“She fell right into my hands,” He continues to laugh as if he has just heard the funniest thing in his life. Natalie looks happy also and she leads Russell out of the room to get treated for his broken nose and other minor injuries.My throat still hurts from when he choked me, for the first time in my life, I felt like I was going to die, and I was not thinking about myself. My mind was filled with image

    What in the world is Cara doing here? I have played in my mind what I would do if I ever see her again, but seeing her right now, I don’t know how to respond. I don’t feel anger or rage, to be honest, I don’t even know how to feel about seeing her.“Let’s go, Davis,” Natalie urges me to move and I begin to move my legs. Cara walks next to Natalie and the both of them speak another language that I am not accustomed to, but it sounds like german.They lead me into the urban house and the interior looks as homey as the exterior. I can also smell food being cooked when I enter the living room. I don’t get why I am being brought here, maybe I should just accept the darn offer and do the job so all this can be over with.“Sit right there, Cara, and I would be right back. Don’t try anything stupid, your family is being watched and with just a call, I can have them killed,” Natalie threatens and I gulp.She and Cara then head upstairs and I am left alone in the living room. It is quite spacio

    What am I getting myself into? It took me so long to finally be okay with not being an assassin anymore, I freaking chose the normal, ordinary life, so why are danger and thrill still chasing me? “You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say those words, especially now that I can see that you actually mean them,” Russell says as he stands to his feet. He closes the distance between us and he gives me a hug that I reluctantly give in to.“So let us get this straight, I do the job and I get to go back to my family. Do not freaking reach out to me ever again, not even to say hi,” I say to him in a very confident tone that captures his full attention.“Reasonable,” He mumbles as he goes back to the other couch so he can sit after his hug with me.“The food is ready!” Susan, Natalie’s grandmother says as she joins us with a tray of food. Everything on the tray looks so good and appetizing, but the bacon causes an emotional stabbing pain to arrest my chest, for it reminds me of James, w

    “Natalie, I have made my decision, enlighten Jen here about the consequences of rejecting my offer. It has become clear that she is not a logical person,” Russell Marshall says and then he walks out of the house. “Is there some way that I could call back home?” I ask Natalie after a few moments of silence and she scoffs.“You still don’t get it, do you?” She begins.“You have a great offer and the job is simple, I don’t still get why Russell is adamant about you doing the job, especially considering that there is a world full of professional assassins out there,” Natalie tries to reason to herself.Cara sits next to her and comforts her by rubbing her shoulder gently and I watch them both. Trying to escape would be useless, but the thing is I am certainly not going to kill Rob’s father. Losing his sister was enough for him, I am not going to rain more trauma on someone that has helped me.Rob gave me properties worth millions of dollars, and without sleeping with me or even wanting t

    My eyes widen and I immediately try to open the door of the moving car so I can jump out but all the doors are locked. Adrenaline floods every part of my body, it is like it is all happening so fast and I have no control.“What are you doing? Stop that! Do you want to get yourself killed?” Russell shouts as Usman increases the speed of the car so jumping out would seem more painful to me if I decide to do so.“Stay the hell away from me!” I reply to him aggressively when he tries to reach out to me and he raises his hands in surrender.“Okay, okay,” He says and then he settles back into his seat.“What the hell is going on?” I ask after a full minute of silence. I am much calmer right now, I was acting out of instinct when I realized that the person that was sitting next to the driver was Russell.How is that even possible? Was he not in an induced coma a few days ago? “Are you finished with trying to jump out of a speeding car just to avoid me?” Russell replies to me and I hear Usma

    “Natalie is smart, I will give her that. She had all the video evidence cleared before we could get our hands on it,” Taylor explains and I at everything else in the room but her.“May I ask, who are you professionally?” I ask her, and she smiles lopsidedly.“I work with the police department in Russia, I am the police chief,” She informs me and I nod slowly. “As I was saying, Natalie made the investigation a lot more difficult for us. Her skills in covering evidence are impressive, but I believe that she got some inside help,” Taylor continues what she was explaining.“And?” I beckon her to explain more. If Natalie covered up our tracks so well, how does she know that Natalie did it? That she was the one that pulled the trigger and not me.“I know you want to know how I know that she was the one who pulled the trigger, and I am going to explain just that to you,” Taylor tells me.“Okay,” I drag the word as I wait for her to tell me what she knows.“I am Russell’s third wife and it h

    What in the world is happening? Why am I even being arrested? Even if this is about Russell Marshall’s investigation, the person they should be arresting is Natalie, I was not the one that shot the man in the head.“This has to be a joke, right?” Chad laughs but when he sees that the military guys are not even smiling, he realizes that this is serious.I gave the piece of document that they handed to me, I read it quickly and it authorizes them to arrest me, but what I don’t see is the charge.“Your hands, please,” One of the military guards says a bit softly and I do as he says. I place my hands behind my head and I hear Chad scoff.“Do you want us to do something?” The guards that we have at the entrance ask me but I disagree by wagging my head. It would only make things worse, from experience, going peacefully with the authorities is always the best thing to do.“I am calling Robert, and then the lawyer. We would get this settled in no time,” Chad tries to comfort me as he makes a

    Yes, we certainly need to talk. I put Jake down from my arms and he protests that he wants to tell me secretly. James, Natalie, and Cara watch my exchange with him with smiles on their faces.“Okay, what is it?” I ask him as he gets close to my ear.“I love you,” He whispers in my ear and I can not help but smile. Some people say having kids is a nightmare, and the truth is that it is at times, but most of the time, it is the greatest joy anyone could have.“Mommy heats you right back,” I reply to him in a whisper, and he giggles before he runs onto James.I stand upright and I bid James and Jake goodbye as I join Natalie and Cara in the living room.“We have a serious hiccup in our plans,” Cara begins when we have all sat down on the couch.“I know,” I reply to her, and Natalie chuckles but I can hear the worry in her voice.“Of course you do, it is all over the news,” She tells me and I stay quiet, not knowing exactly what to say.“So what are doing?” Cara asks no one in particular

    “What do you mean that he’s alive?” I ask Robert as he stands to his feet, he looks worried but that is in no way compared to how I feel right now. Gosh, does Natalie know this? I need more information.“Which news channel did you learn that from?” I fire another question at Robert, not giving him the chance to answer the first. “Here, take a look, it is all over social media, and all the big news broadcasters are airing it,” Robert says as he hands his phone to me. The last time I held it was when I found out that he was partially cheating on me.I can not say that he was actually cheating because he did not sleep with Amanda, but he did receive nudes from her and whatnot. In my book, that is cheating, but I am just going to call it partially cheating in light of what Robert and Amanda explained to me.But that is not the issue at hand right now, we have a huge freaking problem. I need to get dressed and let Natalie and Cara know what has happened.I take the phone from Robert and I

    Some might say that we are moving a bit too fast, but I have known Robert for close to a year now. Still, it seems like such a limited amount of time to decide to spend your entire life with someone, but why wait any longer?Robert and I have had our fair share of storms and problems, but we have weathered everyone one of them, plus we have a great support system. Chad, James, Carlos, and Jake are sure to be there for us if we happen to begin to feel the storms of life raging again, and of course, we will.The amount of crazy that I have been through individually is insane, my entire life has been far from normal and I am starting to stop wanting normal. Besides, normal is a bit overrated. Marrying someone you have known for only almost a year is not very expected, or should I say, normal? But that is the thing, I am not normal and do not even want to be anymore.“Well?” Robert asks me as I drag my body off the unmade bed. He suggested that we should get married next week after I ment

    I can not believe that this just happened, Robert proposed to me! This is amazing and I feel so good, but I also feel like this is too good and I don’t deserve it. But I am just going to sum that up as insecurity trying to present itself in the form of me not being worth it enough to get proposed to.After I said yes, I think Jake was more excited than everyone else. Chad and the others came out soon after and I have a strong feeling that they somehow knew that Robert was going to propose. Robert placed a very expensive ring on my finger and he rose from his kneeling, I placed Jake in the chair where I was sitting and Robert and I embraced. We then shared a kiss and everyone joined Jake as he clapped. As soon as the applause died, the rain ceased gradually and the sun began to shine through the dark clouds. It seemed too perfect that I literally had to pinch myself two times to make sure that I was not dreaming. Good thing I was not, because I would have been so mad at myself.We e

    It is usually sunny here, but today is different, and besides, it is a Saturday. I think the weather chose the best time to be like this, I don’t have to drive Jake to school and I get to spend the entire day with him.Yesterday was so eventful, I had to explain all that happened to me in Russia to Robert, James, Carlos, and Chad about three times before they finally could grasp it all. I also had the responsibility of explaining why I have suddenly decided to trust and forgive someone that caused me so much trauma, Cara was quiet when I took my time to make them all understand that I have finally decided to bury the hatchet concerning what she did.I am not going to pretend like I don’t feel a stab of emotional pain when I look at her, but I am going to try my best to move on. I am currently sitting on the porch alone while listening to the beating of the rain on the ground and roof, it is very soothing and I have never felt so relaxed in my life. Everybody else is in the house and

    I open the door of the house and I walk in as Cara follows behind me slowly and tentatively. We are out of Russia and in Cyprus, though only Cara came along. Natalie took a later flight because she wanted to come with Susan, her grandmother.It took us a couple of hours to fly from Russia to Cyprus, especially because I did not have my passport on me. Cara had to pull some strings and call in some favors at airport security, and to my pleasant surprise, it all worked out smoothly.“Are you sure that they would want to see me?” I hear Cara’s voice as we walk further into the house. Everything looks pretty much the same, but I don’t see anyone here. “Where is everyone?” I say to myself in a low tone as I continue to explore the house.Suddenly I hear heavy footsteps and I look toward the source, someone is walking down the stairs. As soon as the person's eyes meet mine, they stop in their tracks.“Whoa, am I tripping, or am I seeing Jen Davis?” Chad asks me and he continues his descent
