In Love With My Husband's Illegitimate Son Chapter 79
Michelle could no longer tolerate Damian's repeated shades thrown at her. She stood up defiantly from her seat and challenged him.'How dare you talk to me like that! Did you forget your place?' Michelle was heaving in anger and Sheena could not help but shake her head at the girl. Mirabel obviously still didn't know what was coming at her.Damian had assumed a calm demeanor. He relaxed into the sofa, raised his legs onto the small center table, and crossed them. He spread out his arm behind the sofa comfortably before speaking to Michelle.'I know my place. The question is, do you know your place?' Damian raised a questioning brow at her.'Are you two going to just sit there and not say anything? Are we going to watch him speak to us like this?' Michelle was now talking to Mirabel and her husband, Shawn.Sheena could see the tiredness on Mirabel's face. Shawn felt the same way as his wife. He held her hand, silently encouraging her.Mirabel slowly turned her head to her husband and t

TWO YEARS LATERThe jingling of keys, the clanging of metals. Oscar turned away from the gloomy wall he was fixated on to face the door where these sounds were coming from.As he expected, the doors opened and his eyes first met with the swollen sore legs clasped tightly with chains.Oscar's eyes traveled up the length of the wounded legs to the torn blood stained white singlet and rested on the battered face of a man. It took more seconds than supposed before his eyes shone with recognition.Oscar's eyes widened with disbelief. He closed his eyes and shook his head to clear his vision. Sadly, he opened his eyes to the same sight.Oscar felt his heart tighten, his shoulders slumped and his head drooped. His whole being ached. His heart bled. He didn't want to believe he was looking at his best friend, Jake.'Jake?' He had to ask. He needed to confirm he was with the right person even though he already knew. He just didn't want to believe the sight before him.Oscar's call was returned

Sheena watched as her toddler playfully climbed on her father. Her joy just watching the sight was exhilarating, her smile broad as daylight.Sheena birthed Jayden the next year, a few weeks short of nine months after her unceremonious marriage to Damian. Damian had been so excited with the news of being a father. He didn't even consider that the child might have not been his.She was glad that he didn't suspect a thing. The birth of Jayden made her living with Damian bearable. The child was adorable.'You could never get tired of watching that.' -Elena gestured to her father playing with Jayden- 'She is so adorable.' Elena commented.Sheena smiled up at her sister. Elena had taken those words right out of her mind. 'You can say that again.' Her pride as a mother was beaming.'It's good Damian lets you visit us. It's always wonderful to have you over. Dad loves it! It's the best medicine for his weak heart.''Look at him, he's so happy.' Sheena had turned her gaze to her father again.

'They just showed you where to go? How did he know you were coming?' Oscar asked, his eyes fixed on Jake with rapt attention.'I don't know. Maybe someone called him from the house.' Jake shrugged.'And you said Damian was there with him?' Oscar sounded baffled.'Yes.''So what happened next?''When I entered and saw how calm and collected Mr Dominic looked, I began to feel stupid. I mean, what was I going to fight him for? I was in the wrong. I'm the one having an affair with his wife.' Jake shook his head at himself before he continued.'I hated the old man all my life for nothing. And he just let me hate him.' 'What are you talking about? Just stop going in circles and allow me to understand this.' Oscar was getting impatient.Jake ran a hand through his hair and sighed deeply. 'He welcomed me into his office and offered me a seat which I took. He said he wanted to discuss the matter of his Will, that I came at the right time. He asked Damian to excuse us.'When Jake looked at Osc

'Why did it take you so long to get home?' Damian's cold voice greeted Sheena as she stepped into the room.Sheena was calm and collected. She wasn't so scared of him, especially since she had Jayden with her. Damian never got violent with her in front of the child. 'You are not planning to go see that bastard in prison.' Damian's words sounded more like an accusation than a question.Sheena thought his assumptions were unbelievable. 'How would I when your dog hardly lets me go to the bathroom by myself?' Damian gave her a condescending stare-down. 'Pack up, we are leaving.' He ordered and began to walk away from her.Sheena was stunned. 'Leaving to where?' She asked Damian's back. He was already out of the room before she could speak again.She stood on the spot stunned, wondering what Damian meant. Was he taking her on a vacation? Or was he going to ask her to leave his house? Pack up! The instructions were ambiguous.It didn't take long and Damian was back. 'Are you still standin

Oscar stared in shock at Jake's mop of dark hair bent over the table as he cried out his guilt.'You killed him?' His voice was bathed in disbelief. 'Why? How?' 'What's worse than knowing your son hated your very existence?' Jake was so absorbed in self-loath that he did not read the implications of what Oscar was asking.'So you poisoned him because you hated him?' Oscar was asking direct questions to reach a clear conclusion.'Was my hatred towards him not poisonous enough to kill him? I wished him death so many times and now he's dead. I may not have been responsible for his physical death, I however killed his dreams, his hope, and his happiness.' Jake lamented.Oscar breathed a sigh of relief. He had gotten a clear answer to the doubt Jake had stirred in him. Jake didn't kill his father but he blames himself for his death."Could it be because of his self-loath, Jake accepted being responsible for Mr Dominic's death as atonement?" Oscar's mind was plagued with this unsettling th

FOUR YEARS LATEROscar's phone beeped. He dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve it. He spoke to Jake after checking his phone. 'They've been spotted in an airport in Australia. The information I just received says they should arrive later than supposed, their flight has been delayed.' Oscar announced. Jake was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of his skyscraper office, his gaze focused on the overview of the city from his vantage point, but his mind paid no attention to the view. His mind was working, thinking, and brewing his next line of action.Jake only got out of prison a few months ago. Damian hadn't made it easy for him to get out with the reason of his mistreatment while in prison. The man was determined to see Jake's life ebb away. He pulled whatever string he could to ensure this and it favored him that he was a lawyer with many lawyer friends who were willing to throw him a good deed for a little something. Jake had to wait until six years to be released on pa

'I can't wait to see Jayden. I bet she has a boyfriend now.' Elena was squealing over the phone.Sheena laughed. 'A boyfriend? She's just five!' 'I was four when I had my first boyfriend-' Elena tutted '-What do you take us for? We are so beautiful and they just can't resist us as soon as we are born.'Sheena laughed harder at her sister's joke. She could imagine Elena flipping her fingers over the air dramatically.'I've missed you so much!' Sheena said amidst her laughing.Elena smiled heartily. 'I've missed you too sis. It's a shame I'd have to wait until tomorrow before I can see you. Damn that delayed flight!' Elena cursed.'Tomorrow is only a few hours-' Sheena chuckled '- You've waited four long years and can't wait a few more hours?' Sheena was teasing.'I see you sharpened your tongue some over there. I'll clip them when you reach here.-' Elena could hear Sheena's light laugh over her statement, she smiled and continued '-Don't you know those few hours would seem like foreve

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
