In Love With My Husband's Illegitimate Son Chapter 46
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

Sheena struggled to keep her balance as she was tossed and pushed around by bodies moving to the rhythm blaring from the speakers in the club.She was regretting why she let Elena and Mary talk her into joining the dance floor. She had obliged, and now, they were nowhere to be found as they had blended smoothly into the dense haze of bodies. She had been happy being an observer from the position she occupied at the bar.She had never been a person inclined to loud noisy music and lots of booze. The circumstances of her wedding six months ago had made her go here that night. Now, this place only reminded her of the day her life took a complicated turn.It was the saddest day of her life, yet, marked the beginning of a love life for her. An alien kind of life, far from the norm of a normal relationship.The loud cheering from the arena jabbed Sheena out of the past and into the present. The DJ had just changed the music to a popular new jam that had everyone jumping and screaming.Sheen

'Elena?' Jake was wide-eyed.'Oops! Sorry Jake.' Elena spoke with a giggle and a slurring speech.Oscar was stunned, admiring Elena. He couldn't stop gazing at the length of her, particularly enticed by her well-endowed bust. 'How come you always get the good ones?' He spoke to Jake, but his eyes raked the length of Elena.Jake spared his friend a short irritated glance before turning back to Elena who seemed to be in an induced high spirit. Elena was drunk.'What are you doing here?' The words were out of Jake's lips before he realized it was a stupid question. This was a club, a pub that admitted anyone who wanted to have a good time.Elena hiccupped. 'I'm here to buy vegetables -she burst into laughter at her joke, laughter that shook her shoulders - what else would I be doing here? Shopping?' She erupted into another bout of laughter that had Oscar smiling too as her jerking made her chest bounce beautifully in his eyes.As Jake watched Elena laugh her heart out, Mary sauntered t

'Get the ladies in the car.' Jake whispered to Oscar.Oscar scurried off to help Elena and Mary sit in the car. Jake turned to the men again when Oscar had left. They had completely ignored him when he requested that they head out to settle the scores.'You scared?' He tried a different approach, riling them into going out where he was sure Oscar would be waiting and they would attack.'Don't pick a fight that isn't yours. Go home, little boy.' One of the men sneered at him.The man's statement piqued Jake's subconsciousness but he quickly dispelled it as the focus was getting Sheena away from them.'And this fight is of a helpless girl? You pick a fight with a girl?' His voice was weighty with sarcasm.The men didn't like his accusations. 'She's neither your girlfriend nor your sister. Get the hell out of here while you still can.' He threatened, his eyes filled with dangerous warnings.'She's more than that and I'd like to take her with me now! I've had enough of this shenanigan of

Oscar was quick to swivel the wheels to the side, narrowly escaping an accident.The car came to a halt, the bonnet inches away from a tree by the road. They sat staring out into the night lit up by the car's headlights panting and heaving. It was only a slim chance that they escaped crashing head-on into the oncoming truck.If they hadn't been lucky, the scene would have been blaring with the sirens of an ambulance and the chatters of rescue teams.'What's wrong with you man? You've been off since your return. What's your f.u.c.king problem? You want to get us killed?' Jake bumped his fist on the dashboard in anger.'I'm sorry man. I'm sorry.' Oscar repeated. He raised his trembling fingers to wipe off the beads of perspiration on his forehead.'I'll drive before you kill us all.' Jake was already out of the car and moving to the driver's side before he even finished his statement.Oscar, without any resistance, got down from the car, handed the keys over to Jake, and sat himself in

'I can't believe you let me drink so much. My head feels so alienated from my body.' Elena complained over the phone.Sheena laughed at Elena's complaint. 'You wanted to have fun. Don't blame me. Are you home now?''Yes. Jake's friend dropped me off. Dude is a pain in the arse.''Hmm. He is fine.' Sheena commented suggestively.'Please, not now.' Elena grunted. 'And why not?' 'I'm being careful, not after Damian.'Sheena immediately understood Elena's point and decided not to try to push the matter any further.' Argh. I'm going to go back to bed.' Elena whined.Sheena chuckled. 'Alright. Talk to you later.'They said their goodbyes and ended the call. Sheena decided to make an appearance downstairs.The three of them, Sheena, Jake, and Mary, had returned to the Rollins house that night. They, especially Sheena, couldn't afford to sleep out. Mirabel would blow it out of proportion when she would report to Mr Dominic.Sheena was in good spirits returning to the Rollins' house after s

'Wakey wakey.' Sheena's shrill filled Mary's room along with the smell of fresh hot coffee.Sheena placed the coffee on the bed stand beside Mary and moved to shift the curtains to allow light into the dark room.'Argh.' Mary groaned, placing a hand over her face to shield it from the light.Sheena laughed at her. She walked back to Mary and sat beside her.'Pull the blinds down, my head is splitting.' Mary pulled the duvet over her head.'Here, this should make you feel better.' She handed her the steaming coffee.Mary peeked at Sheena, holding the duvet like a child trying to hide. When she caught sight of the mug, she propelled herself up and rested her back tiredly on the headboard. She groaned as she took the coffee from Sheena.A soothing sigh escaped Mary's lips after she took a sip from the mug.'Good, right?' Sheena asked. It was a question that was not meant to be answered.But Mary nodded her agreement and gulped more coffee.'You had fun last night. I didn't know you liked

Jake sat at his desk angrily drumming his fingers on the polished mahogany table. His face set in a scowl, he stared sternly at the occupant of the seat opposite him; Oscar, who sat limply and immersed in remorse.'I'm listening.' Jake spoke in a forbidding tone.Oscar heaved tiredly. He solemnly shook his head as he massaged his forehead. His palm covered his face and he squeezed his face stifling a growl.Jake furrowed his brows, he gazed unflickering toward his best friend. His eyes were hard on him, urging him to speak.Oscar bowed his head in despair. 'I don't even know how to begin. I'm so ashamed of myself.' 'Start from the beginning. I'm listening.' Jake ordered like a principal reproving an offending student.'I got into trouble with some guys at Croonville.' Oscar paused as he fidgeted.Jake's brow shot up in encouragement. It was a silent push for Oscar to continue. There's got to be more to it.Oscar heaved. He shifted restlessly in his seat. He adjusted his perfect shirt

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
