In Love With My Husband's Illegitimate Son Chapter 39
Jake sighed as he settled in his office. He took off his suit jacket and hung it on the coat stand by the corner and loosened his tie. He arrived mid-day after meeting with Damian. He was exhausted. The new project he was working on with his father's shipping company was very promising but tiring. It required a lot of data analysis which was why he frequented the Rollins' shipping world.Jake stared at the stark of files sitting neatly before him. He would have rather gone home to relax and call it a day, but he had so much to do that he couldn't afford the break. He reminded himself that he didn't get to where he was by taking breaks.He heaved and shook his head. A mental jolting to himself to get back to work. He picked up the first file and after going through it, needed to sign it. His eyes roved the table for his pen and he opened his drawer to grab a pen.Jake paused at the sight he was met with upon opening the drawer. He smiled to himself as he picked up the picture of Sheen

'I can't believe you had the picture framed.' Sheena told Jake as they lay tangled between the sheets in each other's arms.'You don't like it?' He asked.'I love it! You were right, it's beautiful. I almost didn't believe it was me.' She shrieked in excitement.Jake chuckled at her childish excitement.'I told you it was beautiful. It was worth framing.' He said to her.'Okay, okay, you were right. Would you stop gloating now and let me have my peace? She chided jokingly.'Let me think -Jake placed a finger under his chin- No, I won't let you have any peace.' He told her as he moved, shifting her from his arm where she laid her head.He moved himself and laid on top of her. Sheena adjusted herself, granting him a comfortable space between her legs.Jake propped himself up with his elbows, resting on both sides of her face. The bulk of his weight; his middle, pressed tightly into her open legs.He was gazing at her, a proud smile plastered on his lips.'I love you, Sheena.' He announc

For some reason, Mr Dominic insisted the family had dinner together. Everyone had to be present at the table.One by one, everyone arrived at the dinner table. Mr Dominic was already seated at the head of the table. His wife, Sheena sat on his left side, and at his insistence, Jake sat on his right side.Mr Dominic was in a jolly mood and so he pardoned anyone that arrived late to the dinner table.Maria, the maid, and her assistants were finishing up with setting the table.'Is there an occasion?' Mirabel asked in her usual rude tone as she entered the room to see the elaborate table setting.'I was about to ask the same thing.' Michelle who was already seated commented in agreement with her sister.'I'm sorry I'm late.' Shawn announced as he rushed in hurriedly.Dinner had already been served and Shawn took a seat, his eyes darted to Mr Dominic expecting a snide remark directed at him.'Sit and join in on dinner.' Mr Dominic said. His calm and collected demeanor left everyone in sho

'Congratulations!' Oscar Bobb congratulated his best friend, Jake, as he settled into the sofa. He had just returned and was visiting Jake.'Thanks, man.' Jake concurred, standing up from his office chair and heading towards the sofa.'I was certain you wouldn't allow your hatred for the old man to prevent you from passing on a good deal. You always know when to separate business from other things.' Oscar commented.Jake chuckled. 'You know me too well.''That's why I'm your best friend.' Oscar said as his hand stroked his beard proudly.Jake laughed out loud at his gesture.'A best friend who abandoned me for a piping trust fund. Who does that?' Jake said.Oscar laughed before speaking. 'Says the man who ignores his long-time feud for business.'Jake laughed as they teased themselves.'Is everything all sorted out with the trust fund now? Finished with all the paperwork?' Jake asked.'Oh yeah. All done and dusted. The dough is sitting pretty in my account now.' Oscar replied with sat

Sheena got dressed to step out of the house. She picked out a floral print knee-length flare dress that accentuated the flare of her hips. A black pair of kitten heels to go with a black purse. She wore a radiant smile and hummed as she dressed up.She had got some liberty as Mr Dominic was away. After congratulating and singing the praises of his son, her lover, during dinner the other night, he announced that he would be away for two months.The new project would be taking him abroad as the product was gaining recognizance in the market. Everyone was pretty excited about Mr Dominic's final announcement. And all for different reasons.Mr Dominic was happy with his growing business. He was expanding his Coast and being the greedy man that he was, he immensely loved it.The members of the family were happy the old nuisance as they considered him, was going to be away for quite some time. It would give them ample time to fully cement all the evil plans each of them was brewing.Sheena

'You hurt your sister a lot with your words.' Sheena said to Mary. They had just hailed a taxi and were climbing into the back seat.Mr Dominic forbade anyone to use any of his fleet of cars especially when he was away. One of his many strict rules and so they jumped taxis.Mary had been troubled by what Mirabel had said to her. Mirabel spoke with so much conviction, accusing Mary of betraying her family and promising to regret it when it was too late. Deep down Mary was certain Sheena wasn't like that. And Sheena's query, defending her evil sister, Mirabel, just proved it.'It's not right that they treat you the way they do. They've had a fair share of Dad's wrath. They should understand.' Mary said, her tone clear of the doubt Mirabel had awoken.'You shouldn't speak to her that way because of me.' Sheena insisted.'I can't believe you still care about her feelings after everything she does to you. It's because of your kindness they take advantage of you.' Mary pointed out, amazed a

Sheena turned to look at her sister as they exchanged apprehensive looks. They feared Aunt May's reaction to finding out Mary was Mr. Dominic's daughter.Sheena gave Elena a look and a nod that told Elena that she should go ahead to explain to their Aunt. Elena nodded her negative response and instead nudged Sheena to offer an introduction.'Why are you exchanging looks? Who is she?' Aunt May asked again, staring at them with suspicious eyes.'She is Sheena's friend.' Elena offered.Sheena shot Elena an angry look.'She's my friend.' Sheena agreed.'Okay. You're welcome, dear. It's good to have you here with us.' Aunt May greeted Mary with a smile.'This isn't the first time we are meeting, is it? You look very familiar but I can't recall where we've met.' Aunt May added.Mary, who was oblivious to the scared looks exchanged between the two sisters, innocently offered to help Aunt May clear the fog of her confusion.'At the wedding ma'am. Sheena's wedding. You didn't stay for long tha

Jake sat in the VIP section of the club with a glass of bourbon seated on the table before him. Dressed in casual Demi jeans and a blue Levi's polo that hugged every muscled inch of him, his head bent and focused, his hand pressed on the buttons of his phone like a programmed robot. He was trying to reach Oscar.Three days ago, Oscar had left his office in a rather abrupt manner and since that time, Jake had not heard from his best friend. He had lost count of the number of calls and texts he had sent, but still, he sent more. He was typing his nth text when a hand casually rested on his shoulders.Jake's eyes moved to the white Snickers that stood near him. His eyes raked the length of the intruder before settling on his face.'Oscar!' Jake stood up to stand face to face with his friend.Oscar wore a face cap and sunglasses that hid his face.'Where the hell did you go man? I've been trying to reach you!' Jake expressed his worry for his friend.Taking a seat on the comfy sofa Jake

Jake and Sheena exchanged confused looks. What was Mirabel talking about? Their minds shared similar questions.'I need to tell you something about my father's death.' Mirabel announced.'What about our father's death?' Jake asked. They had moved to the study where they could converse in private. Sheena and Jake kept expectant eyes peeled on Mirabel.'I … I.-' she inhaled sharply before she continued. 'I know I've not been the best of persons but I'm working on myself. Hating the one man who had taken me in and had shown mercy on a lowly young orphan. I know now the old man loved me, loved us, even if he never showed it much. He's human after all and bound to make mistakes.' Mirabel swallowed before she began speaking again. 'I had always wanted him dead. Now that he's dead, I regret not having more time with him… I never had the courage to kill him even though I would have loved to, but I wouldn't have stopped anyone wanting to. This was before I knew the truth.''Mirabel, do you k

Sheena opened her eyes to bright blinding lights. She squinted trying to adjust her eyes to the lights, but shut them after an exhausting attempt. She let out a laborious breath so she could speak, but somehow, she didn't seem to find her voice. She felt parched, her throat overly dry and painful.She opened her eyes again, blinking severally to accommodate the light. After her success at it, she scanned the room. White pristine walls, huge beeping machines, a tray filled with medicines and needles. A hospital. It clicked. She was in the hospital.How did she get here? Memories of the previous day's event flood her mind as she wondered."Jake!" Was he okay? Did Damian shoot him too?Anxiety and fear hijacked every cell in her being. Her breathing hitched and she struggled to raise herself. The effects of the sedatives were still very much active, she felt dizzy but undeterred.'Hey! What are you trying to do?' The concerned voice filled the room as the intruder pushed the door hard,

'He didn't suspect a thing?' The skepticism in Jake's voice was evident.They had just finished making love. Sheena was resting her head on the muscled bare chest of Jake. She related her experience with Damian to Jake as she idly pulled on his chest hair, a sweet painful sensation for him.Sheena shrugged. 'I couldn't believe it myself. He just went to sleep without saying a word.''I think he is brewing something in that egregious mind of his. He can't be that collected after discovering you went out.' Jake spoke pensively. He paused weighing the possibilities before speaking again. 'And today?' He asked. 'Did he say anything to you today?''He left the house before anyone was up.' She raised her head to stare at him, studying his features. 'Maybe he's tired of paying me any attention. He's got too much trouble on his hand right now. You made sure of that… I don't think it's something to worry about.' She added.'I just have a bad feeling about this. It just doesn't seem right.' It

'I love you.' Jake whispered to Sheena as they lay on the large hotel mattress. His hand wrapped around her neck, he pulled her closer and planted a passionate kiss on her head.'I love you too.' Sheena replied and kissed him on his lips. She snuggled closer into his hold. Her desire to remain there glaring.Sheena and Jake have been meeting over the past few weeks. Sneaking in and out of hotels like teenage lovers. After that night at the Rollins house, it seemed as though they've never been more in love with each other. Always wanting to be near the other, making mad sweet love.'Hmm, delicious.' He said in reference to her kiss. He moved in to steal more kisses and Sheena laughed at his boyishness.'What?' He asked against her lips. 'You want it here?' He tickled her sides and she laughed harder. He nibbled on her lower lip as she laughed.'Or you want it here?' He trailed kisses down her neck and Sheena girlishily giggled. 'Or here?' He moved further down her breast and took a ni

'What do you want? Why are you here?' She turned to Mary. You let him into the house? 'Is he why you brought me here?' Sheena asked incredulously.'Please calm down, you're raising your voice. You'll make Damian come here ' Mary pleaded.'Let him come! At least, he'd get rid of this-' she eyes Jake in disgust, indecisive on what adjective to qualify him.'You'll wake up Jayden. Look at her, do you want to wake her?' Mary appealed to her reason and love for her child.Sheena turned her gaze to the bed and softened. Her anger rose again at the sight of Jake near Jayden. 'Get away from my daughter!' Sheena bellowed at Jake. She charged towards him and yanked his hand away from the child. She relaxed again as she watched the child. She smoothed her hand on the silk of Jayden's hair.The sigh of contentment and peace that escaped the child's lips, assured Sheena that everything was fine with Jayden and that she was only sleeping.Sheena bent over and kissed the top of Jayden's head before

Jake sat in the back seat of his car mulling over the events of the night. 'Drive faster.' He ordered his driver as he rested his head on the headrest, his face turned up staring at the roof of the car. He was thinking.'I can't. Damian keeps Sheena locked up like a prisoner. …It's difficult for me, even as her sister, to see her. We always have to sneak around to meet. …Sheena was waiting, waiting until you'll come to save her.'Elena's words played repeatedly in Jake's head like a mantra. Sheena had been suffering too, just like he suffered in jail. He shut his eyes tightly to drown out the pain, regret, and remorse he felt. He felt deeply foolish and sorry. He had wronged his woman. He had added salt to her painful wounds and he needed to tend to the wounds he had inflicted on Sheena fast.Regardless of the fact that Sheena didn't know that he thought so lowly of her, he still tortured himself for entertaining such thoughts about her. Jake wanted to meet Sheena so he could right

'What did you just say?' Elena's statement halted Jake in his tracks. His eyes were intent on her.'You heard me.' Elena responded. 'Jayden is your child with Sheena.''She is not my child' Jake said with so much denial and disbelief in his voice. He believed Elena was only trying to get his attention.'Elena, how can you stoop so low to resort to lying? How can you play with such a sensitive matter? Why are you trying so hard to prove your sister a saint? Sheena married Damian after sending Jake to prison. She gave birth to their daughter after her marriage to Damian and you say Jake fathered the child? Who would be stupid enough to believe that?' Oscar berated Elena.'Oh please shut up your foolish mouth Oscar! When would you ever allow your brain to do some actual work?' Elena insulted. She returned her gaze to Jake after silencing Oscar.'Do you really think Sheena could betray you?' Elena entreated Jake to reason.Jake raised his eyes to meet with Elena's. His heart weighed her w

Elena stood by the entrance of the club contemplating if she should enter. The loud music blaring from the speakers that she used to love, now scared her. She braced herself and stepped in. It didn't take long for her to be spotted.'You came!' Stella squealed joyfully. She extended a hand and pulled Elena towards their table.Stella was Elena's friend from her college days. They had remained friends even after college and lived like teenagers just partying, boozing and boys. That was when life seemed to be fair to Elena and her family. When she lived carefree, her father's business was doing well, her sister didn't need to marry an older man and she wasn't nursing a broken heart.Stella had traveled abroad just about the time the turbulence in Elena's family began. Stella had just returned from her long trip and insisted that Elena come to see her at the club. It has been a long time since she saw her friend and it excited Elena to reunite with Stella. Her excitement though was short

Sheena tried to stay as calm as she could manage. She kept fumbling with the hem of the oversized hoodie she wore. The hood sat over her head, dark glasses covered her eyes. It was her attempt at a disguise. The angst coursing through her was overwhelming.After much begging and pleading, Mary had reluctantly agreed to take Sheena to meet with Jake on the condition that Mary would have to speak with Jake first, and if Jake was unwilling to speak with her, then they would have to abandon the plan. It seemed like an easy condition.Sheena was certain Jake wouldn't hesitate to see her. Sheena had figured Jake had gone into hiding and was working underground to reclaim all that Damian had stolen from him. Damian was a mutual enemy and she didn't mind joining forces with her lover to bring the enemy to his knees.She couldn't keep calm. She felt like a teenager meeting with her lover for the first time after a long time. She didn't know what to expect. She pictured him sexier and more hand
