2024-10-29 19:42:56I am pacing back and forth in the leaving room angrily.
"Calm down Anne,you are stressing and you know that is not good for the baby. Think of him or her" Erica reasons.
"How can I be calm after seeing that headline. He is cheating on me with another woman and you tell me to calm down. I'm pregnant with his child for crying out loud"I exclaim
"Like you said you are pregnant. You suffered for this baby,do not let anyone take it away from you. Calm down, beside we don't know if this is true or not. This is the internet for pete's sake anyone can write lies for more views " Erica exclaim before leading me to sit down.
"He better have a good explanation for this"I say still angry.
"Just relax, okay and think of the baby. Now come and sit and watch a movie,I made Oreo cheesecake cake with strawberry smoothie, your favorite "Erica says wiggling her eyebrows
"You just know how to bribe me"I groan and then pout.
She arranges the pillow on the couch for me and I sat down .
.
I didn't realize time had passed by so quickly, because when I checked my watch it was almost 5pm and Flynn will be home any moment from now.
"Hey,where is Grayson? I haven't seen or heard from him all day" I asked with a worried look.
"Yeah,I kinda forgot to tell you this, please don't be mad" she guiltily
"Erica?! What is going on?" I ask in a stern and authoritative voice.
"Okay,he had an emergency call this morning about his wife and left immediately. He asked me to tell you but I forgot. I actually gave him the permission to go" she says
"Erica! Why didn't you tell me earlier! By the way, what was the emergency" I ask curiously
"He didn't say much,just muttering incoherent words,I have never seen a man cry until today" she says
"He was crying! Did something happen to the kids" I ask anxious praying nothing happens to them.
"I'm not sure. You know Grayson doesn't share his family matters with us. Even me his best friend" she sighs and I looked at her confused.
"Do you think we should go there? Maybe he needs a friend or something" I asked still worried about him.
"Yeah but not today, maybe tomorrow because your husband will have my head when he finds out we left without his ___" Flynn barges in before she could finish what she was saying.
"Speaking of husband,here comes the devil. Excuse me ma'am" she says with a smirk before leaving.
" Jane! What are you doing down here? I thought I told you to rest upstairs " he says in a stern tone.
"It was boring up there and I'm pregnant not dying. By the way,why are you home by this time. You were supposed to be here an hour ago " I ask in a stern tone.
"I had to stop by my mom's house and check up on them. They sent you their greetings and want you to visit them sometime" he says coolly.
"Your mom's? Really Flynn? Are you sure? So why is your hair like that then "I frown
"Yes I went to my mom's and why all this sudden questions? Where is all this coming from?"he says confused.
I take out my phone and opened the headlines for him.
"Mind explaining to me what this is. I want the truth Flynn"I say and he looks as if he was seeing a ghost.
"How..how did you get this! I can't believe it. This isn't true and you believed them" he yells angrily
"What do you want me to do?" I say back angrily
"Believe me? Like trust me for once in your life. I get that I'm not rich like you and I work for you but not trusting me is just_fuck!. I can't believe you Jane,how many times must I prove to you that I love you and will never hurt you" he yells angrily again.
"Flynn... trying being in my shoes. How would you feel if you saw this headline about me" I ask
"Nothing because I know I can trust my wife and I would make sure this headline goes away in a short time. I wouldn't accuse her or believe the media. You wanna know who she is? She is your dad's assistant and we were handling a project together for your dad, since he wasn't around " he yells and I feel tears pricking my eyes.
"I'm sorry,I was hurt and confused. Please don't be mad at me" I say letting the tears fall freely.
" No not this time. I'm not going to forgive you that easily. I love you Jane,so much but if there is no trust how will this work. I'll be sleeping in the guest room tonight " he says and walks away.
I finally broke down,I sat back on the couch,with my head bowed and cry in my palms softly.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and I know it was Erica but I'm not in the mood. I hurt my husband and this is the first time he has yelled at me.
"Go away Erica. Leave me alone "I sob
"Jane.. please think__" I didn't allow her finish her sentence and I was on my feet.
"I said fucking go away Erica! Leave me the Fuck alone and find yourself busy. This all your fault,you should have just kept the stupid headline to yourself. I have given you too much privilege and I think it is time to take it away." I yell and the hurt look on her face made me want to apologize but it was already too late.
" What? How is this my fault. I was only trying to be a good friend__" I cut her off.
"By trying to ruin my marriage" I say
"Ruin your marriage Jane. Is that what you think of me. I love you Jane. You are like a sister to me. If this is what I get for being a your friend then I don't want to be one anymore. Excuse me ma'am" she says angrily and walks out
"Eri..Erica wait. Erica.." I call after her but she was long gone.
I broke down again, sitting on the floor crying.
What is wrong with me today!
My stomach begun to hurt and my heart begun to race faster.
Oh gosh my baby. Lord please protect my baby. I silently pray before gently standing and walking to the couch.
I arranged the pillows again and then laid flat on it.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and someone softly whispering my name.I groan but still didn't open my eyes hoping the person will eventually go away but no.The taping still continued and I had no choice but to open my eyes.When I did open my eyes, Erica's face came to view,she was holding a sweeping broom and dust collector.I sat up slowly because my side hurt ,"Did you sleep here the entire night" she asks concerned,I only nod my head and let out a sigh."Can you please bring me some water" I asked softly and she nods politely.Some few seconds later,she came back with the water and gave it to me. She turned around to leave but I stopped her."Eri, wait! Look I'm sorry for yelling at you and blaming you for my marital problems. I took the wrong approach and I am sorry. Please forgive me" I pleadShe was quiet for a while,I think contemplating on the answer she'll give me."Please. Forgive me. You are like my sister and sisters forgive each other " I pursued her"Okay fine. But onl

"What!" Erica and I say in unison."Yeah,that was the same reaction I got a year ago. She has been battling with Leukemia for a while. She was on chemo for a while until we run low on money and she had to get off. That is why the day of the interview,I pleaded for the job. She had to get on chemo before the surgery. She was doing well until she relapsed yesterday. We actually just got home from the hospital just an hour ago,"he says."Oh Grayson,why didn't say anything from the beginning,I could have helped you. I am responsible for you " I tell him." You have done so much for me,with my children's scholarship and my pay,I didn't want to be a burden on you" he explains"You are not a burden, what is the use of the money if I don't help others with it. I am going to call my doctor,he will recommend us to the best oncologist in the state " I tell him."Oh please I don't want to be a bother" he protests"I'm calling him and you can't stop me" I tell him."When she puts her mind to some

I feel something covering me up,the thing feels warm and cozy. I slowly opened my eyes to see I'm not in my house,I was about to panic when realization struck me,I'm in Grayson's home.I didn't realize I fell asleep,the Chinese must have hit a nerve.I slowly opened my eyes to see Grayson smiling at me."Hey" I whisper"Hey" he whispers back,and we stared at each, lost in our grazes.He then clears his throat and balanced the tray on the night stand. That is when I realized I was on a bed."What says the time?" I asked because I wasn't wearing my watch anymore."It is almost midnight. You fell asleep on the couch and I thought it might be uncomfortable for you giving your situation. I also brought some chocolate cake and milk " he says and I looked at him confused."Erica" we both say in unison and chuckle."She called saying the kids will be staying the night,so I should let you sleep and she'll bring you a change over tomorrow morning" he explains and I nod."Also your husband calle

I woke up alone on the bed and I smiled to myself,this is the best sleep I have had in my entire years of existence.I got out from the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen because I figured Grayson would be around.I was surprised to see Erica and girls already there, but there was an awkward tension in the room, especially since Annalise has been glaring at me ever since I entered the room.Erica served me the breakfast she brought from home,just the way I like it.I was in the middle of eating when my phone rang,I check the caller ID to see it was my lovely husband.I excused myself to answer the call."Oh thank God Jane. I thought something happened to you,you've not been picking up my calls and you weren't home or at your dad's place. Fuck! Where are you?"he rambles on and I sigh."You don't have to worry about me,I'm fine. I'll be home later today. I'm at Grayson's house" I tell him"What! Why the fuck would you be at our chauffeur's home!"he yells through the phone."Don't f

Tell the kids I love them too" she whisper and then closes her eyes to rest.I have been here all day,I couldn't even say goodbye to my kids.The doctor said her system is accepting the treatment and that is a good sign.I went outside and called a cab. I didn't bring any of Jane's cars because she had done so much for me.I told the cab driver the address and he took me there.I see Erica also getting out of a cab upon arrival. I guess she didn't sleep the night at her parents house."Hey Grayson. I thought you'd stay at the hospital" she says adjusting her hand bag."No,not really. But I thought you'd stay at your parents for the night"I ask"No,my mom and dad are traveling to Illinois for a wedding" she says and I nod.The security men open the door for us and we walked to the house.

"I am so sorry Isabella,I didn't want any of these things to come. Please baby"my dad tells me as I was a sobbing mess on my mom's lap."But why does it have to be me! You are not the heir of the company,aunt Jane is! Aspen is the one supposed to do this!" I cry."Baby,you know Aspen is only fifteen and your aunt and dad share custody of the Jones fortune.

16 years laterI walk down the hallway as my heels clicked against the floor.It was almost 8 am and my fifteen years old daughter is still sleeping.She is going to be the death of me. All my three boys are awake and already getting dressed for school.I opened the door to her room,the spacious bedroom comes to view.All her purple curtains are closed and her queen decorated room looks dark.I walk to curtains and opened it allowing the rays of sunshine into the room.I heard her groan and turned to face the other side.I walked to her and pulled the duvet off her body.She opens her with a whine and I hold my waist glaring at her."Get up Aspen! You are late for school"I hiss at her but she didn't give two fucks.Because her green eyes met mine and she smiled."Good morning mommy.

I must be going crazy.I rub my tired eyes and they were still there."Mama..ma..mamma"they both chant looking at me.Ohh....I sometimes forget I am a mother.
