Mr. Morrison's excitement made Jane wonder if he wasn't the same person who was in Berlin with her not up to 72 hours ago. Both her parents were at the airport with a gigantic 'welcome home' sign. As if the attention she got from the airport was not enough they threw her a surprise party and invited as many people as they could including superstar Perry."Dad…" she whined. "This is just too much.""This wasn't my idea." Her father said playing innocent. "It was all your mother's idea, I told her not to but she won't listen."Mrs. Morrison frowned at her husband. "Shall we ask Perry who invited him to the party?""No!" Mr. Morrison yelled.After Perry's presentation, he walked over to Jane, and they shared a brief friendly hug. They shared a very formal kind of friendship since college and it still stood unchanged."Jane this is my fiance Katie," he said referring to the most gorgeous human Jane had seen."Hi," the lady said shyly, with a sweet smile."Hi," Jane replied, trying to soun
"It's going to be okay," Marcus whispered in her ear."What if she throws a tantrum?"Marcus winced. "Do you think my mother is that dramatic?""I am sorry," Jane muttered touching his face."Well then, let's go inside. Dinner is getting cold." He said leading the way."Wait, what? You cooked?!" Jane jogged to meet up with Marcus."Nope, my mother did." He opened the front door only to be greeted by a bunch of petals on his face."Emily," he said the name slowly trying to control his anger.Jane and Emily giggled."Ha-ha." He said humorlessly. "I am glad you both found this funny." He mumbled and stomped into the kitchen."I did plan to pour you a bucket of flowers also but you laughed with me, so you are safe to go in.""Thank you, ma'am," Jane replied with a smile and walked into the house."You have a nice home." Jane complimented."Yeah right," Emily mumbled rolling her eyes.The house was nothing close to their mansion. The house was simple but comfortable. The living room was de
Jane lay doleful on her bed. Today was her turn to tell her parents about her relationship with Marcus. She would have to tell her parents—who are already suspicious about the relationship between her and Marcus. Today she would explain the reason she is always happy and nice to everyone and compliments on how beautiful everything is, which is because of Marcus. Today she is going to say what she has been meaning to tell them.Last Saturday was when they told Marcus' mother about their relationship and she was more accommodating than they thought, she welcomed her with overly open arms, The next day she went shopping with her. Mrs. Wang was in her room earlier and had asked what was troubling her when she kept pacing through and fro her room. She didnt see the need to lie to the older lady so she told her the truth. As expected Mrs. Wang was happy she finally found love again, she also stated that love was bringing back all her good self she had lost long ago. Everybody likes to blame
Jane was starting to wonder if Marcus had a twin she didn’t know about. In the presence of her father, he was so professional she sometimes thinks he had decided to listen to her father and keep their relationship Heiress-Bodyguard. But then he sneaks into her room almost every night for the past 1 month and is still his goofy self when they are alone or with his family.She remembered when she and her father had gone to a conference together and as usual Marcus had to be there to protect her. He looked so professional and put together. Not once did her father see him looking at her in another way except his professionally focused stares.“Marcus, I cannot believe how professional you look. You look more responsible when doing your job than you did when saying that nonsense about liking my daughter.” Mr. Morrison complimented; “I am proud of you kiddo.” he added tapping Marcus’ shoulder and leaving for his car.“I was so naïve then.” Marcus had answered.She was at the airport to see
Marcus felt goofy after leaving Jane's room. They almost got caught because Jane forgot to close the door. Marcus went to us Mr. Morisson barged in. He gave lectures on love and lost saying what Marcus felt for her is lost."Mostly I tell you guys only want one thing from you, sex. But guys like Marcus want two things from you, sex and your money." "You can't judge a person like that father, you do not even know him!" Jane cried."But I was once a young guy. I know what they are thinking.""Yeah right," Jane mumbled, rolling her eyes."I am just trying to do what is best for you," he said softly."I know dad, but I need chances to make my own mistakes."But I already gave you a chance to make a mistake, Clerus is a mistake remember? That is enough mistake for one lifetime.""Great," Jane murmured.Her father gave her more lectures on love and how she could have him anytime she needed someone to be her date."Who needs a boyfriend when they have their father."Jane rolled her eyes.Aft
Jane and Marcus walked quickly to the reception to see what the commotion was. She stopped short when she saw Cletus moving his body in what was supposed to be dancing."Was he stung by something," she mumbled to herself.She felt like she would have to sue him for noise pollution."Is this the unfortunate guy?" Marcus whispered."Unfortunately yes," she mumbled."You didn't say he was good at embarrassing himself," Marcus whispered back."I had no idea," she whispered and sighed. "I can not believe I once was in love with this clown," she murmured, cleaning her forehead.Cletus did his grand style by kneeling in front of Jane. Marcus quickly pushed Jane behind him."Who are you?" Cletus asked, irritated, standing to his feet."Her bodyguard. You have a problem with that?" Marcus replied.Cletus scowled at him and turned his attention to Jane. "Hey my Lo–""Don't!" Jane interrupted raising her left hand.Cletus's eyes turned pleading. "I am sorry My love." He said taking a step closer
Jane does not always have the privilege to talk to her mother. Not because her mother wouldn't create time if Jane wanted, but Mrs. Morrison is more of the reserved time. She would rather read the same novel over and over again than sit around talking about things she didn't deem necessary. When she does speak, she speaks, she pours out so much wisdom one wonders if she is human. So on days, Jane gets to talk to her mother, she does appreciate it."Mother, you called?""Yes my dearest, come in, sit with me."Jane walked to her parents' oversized bed and sat beside her mother."How are you doing, dear one?""I am okay maa, work has been good."Her mother had a soft smile on her face as she searched Jane's eyes. "You see happier,"Jane's face reddened. Not because of her mother's comment, but because of who was responsible for making her happy. Marcus. "Thank you," she said."Did I tell you of the most bizarre thing I did when I was younger?" her mother asked. Her eyes had become distan
Cletus swings his chair in his father’s office. He had his father go through the information his investigator got him. He went through it a few hours ago but he didn’t think he could get Jane back on his own, he needed help. From the beginning, he knew he didn’t trust that Marcus guy. He didn’t like the way Jane looked at him, it felt like he was more than the bodyguard she claimed he was so had someone spy on them and always, and he was right. He reread the texts between Jane and Marcus for the 4th time and grimaced. He felt betrayed.“Jane cannot possibly be serious,” He said to his father.“She might be playing him; I do not see what she could possibly see in him. That Jane girl is weird.” His father answered.“Jane can be so naïve, the Marcus guy just wants her money from her, just the way I and any other guy want. Only I would marry her and buy her pretty dresses in return, what could that pathetic bloody servant give her.”Rodriguez Diaz snickered. “Morrison’s daughter is stubbo
