“You zoned out!” Clara said quite concerned by my actions.“I know something is wrong. Spill it!” she ordered with an angry look as I heaved a long breath. “I lost my job," I said with a sad voice.Finally I had someone who I should talk to and that was what I needed the most. Someone who would talk to without mincing words or without fear of being vaught."Oh darling" Clara hugged me tightly sympathetically."That's not the whole thing, two innocent children had to die because of my negligence,” I explained to her, suddenly I realized that tears were flowing down my cheek.I honestly didn't want to cry but telling someone what had happened just stirred so many emotions in me.Clara looked at me pitifully and took my hands."Don't cry Val, I'm sure you were in a situation where you couldn't save the children. It's definitely not negligence" she said tme in a very soft voice.She took out a handkerchief and was dabbing my face herself. Her hands played sgounyv back gently as I wept slo
Violet's POV It's been some few hours since Clara left the mansion. I thought I heard a car zooming inside but I was too preoccupied, arranging the clothes Clara bought for me. As soon as I was through, I went downstairs to sit down, just to get some fresh air.I saw Anne instead, her elegant and pious self giving command to one of the maids."Annie!" I said, looking at her excitedly. I was eager to find out what went wrong. Where exactly was she?"Young Mistress," she answered, beaming with a smile as she bowed her head.I ran to her, embracing her tightly. I truly missed her. Partly, I was feeling guilty that she might have lost her job after standing up for me."I missed you, Annie. Why did you just disappear? I must have wronged you, right?" I said, pouting.She quickly shook her head with the most genuine smile plastered on her face," Not at all, Young Mistress. I went over to the old residence for a while. I came back because the Young Master wanted me back."I was so happy I fi
I was so tired of how she was beating around the bush and not saying why she called me there so I got up, walking menacingly toward her. "Hey fiancée or wife to be, I don't have any goddamn business with whatever happens between you and anyone here. My only job is to get that boy treated so if you have something to say, say it, I have something to attend to." I couldn't help but to retort.I was really trying to avoid trouble but that witch was getting me vexed. "That's why I have put in place some certain rules. First thing, I want to dig into your skull is that, you should mind your ways with Jason. Respect him as a boss. I don't want anything that would make you have dirty ideas on your little weak brain. Jason is no one else but mine. Understood? " She said, glaring at me.I rolled my eyes. I didn't know where she got the information that Jason and I do talk, more or less having dirty ideas about him. I hate the guy with deep hatred. I didn't even acknowledge her words and Rach
Narrator's POV Violet eyes furrowed at Rachel's scream. She was oblivious to why she was screaming so loud when the fall wasn't enough to cause a sprain. She thought Rachel was a drama Queen, not until she heard someone call her name furiously. " Violet!" Jason's voice rang in the room, making Violet realize Rachel's ploy all along.Jason had watched Violet pushing Rachel and she had fell to the ground. His heart was filled with anger at Violet's cruelty. "Oh" Violet said when she finally knew the reason Rachel had fell. Jason was actually there watching. With the way she fell, from behind, it looked as if Violet had pushed her. Hearing Jason's cold voice, Violet understood what Rachel was trying to do. She looked at the woman who already had tears in her eyes and chuckled. She knew there was nothing she would say that Jason would believe. He had always taken sides with his lover. Jason rushed to Rachel who was on the floor and there was concern in his eyes. Rachel had a painful
Anne came out to see the two standing toe to toe like sworn enemies. She then looked at Rachel who was seated with a smile on her face so she knew it was all because of her. She knew she didn't come here for nothing but to cause trouble. She just wished that Rachel could disappear from Jason's life like she had done years back. "Don't feel too glorious, Violet and let me remind you if you have forgotten. I might be in need of your service desperately but I already bought it with my money and the least thing you can do in my house and to people around me is to show them respect. You are nothing to me but just the nobody I hired. The only important thing you have to do is to help my boy. Every dime I ever spend on you, every meal you have in my house, is not because of your insignificant self. It is because of my baby. So get that into your thick skull and stop misbehaving" he said with a very hostile voice.Violet's hands trembled as anger coursed through her body. Her visibly shaken
Clara's POVI couldn't deny that I never felt the negative vibes going on between Violet and Rachel. I have known Rachel for years and haven't ever seen her exhibit a bad attitude. She was very nice and always full of cheerful attitude. Definitely, Violet and her must have gotten themselves wrong. I couldn't say bad things about Violet, but after taking time to carefully study her, I noticed she had a good attitude and loved Vince so much. All of this was a silly misconception from both sides and I was going to settle everything. Jason was the one who wronged the two here. He knew who those two are to him, he shouldn't have let them live together. I wouldn't blame Rachel for not getting along with Violet.She had suffered a lot thinking of coming back to the one she loves, only to find out that he is married. I could feel that Violet was emotionally down even when she wouldn't want to tell me. She must have lost one of her patients. Knowing that Violet could get emotional I didn't
Waking up this morning, I had my bath and rushed out of the house. I couldn't have a good sleep because of the thoughts that clouded my mind. The only time I closed my eyes to sleep, I had a nightmare that Violet committed suicide.I had to call Anne that night to help me check on Violet. She said she had to spy on her through the CCTV because Violet won't open her door. I was relieved when Anne told me that she was asleep. Phew! It must have been as a result of my thoughts.I walked into the hospital about an hour later. I knew this would have been a phone call away if it were my brother. But then, I didn't want him to be involved. There is something else he needed to sort out and that's Rachel.I went straight to the receptionist to ask of an audience." Good morning, Miss Kanna, I would like to see your President." “Good morning, ma'am. Do you mean the director?” the receptionist asked, surprised.Was it so surprising for someone to see the president? I shook my head to clarify he
Violet's POVI was sure I didn't tell her and I know Rachel wouldn't dare tell her because she's the one who got me fired here. Jason who would have done it wouldn't do it that would make Clara go talk to my director. I didn't think he knew that I truly got fired. So who else could have told her."Anne. I noticed you were unhappy so I called her to ask if you were fine. She was the one who told me everything that Rachel and my brother did to you. It was really appalling, " her voice showed that she was vexed.Oh, I've totally forgotten about Anne. She has been trying to talk to me since last night but I had ignored the poor woman. I knew I shouldn't take out my frustrations on her but I was too angry."It's fine. I've counted it as my own back luck," I said, smiling at Clara." It is not your bad luck. It is that woman's back luck. I can't even believe she's so heartless to do such a thing" she snorted in anger." Just forget about it Clara, I'm fine. I'll get a new job soon, " I assu
Violet’s POVWaking up knowing your best friend is dead feels like a whole part of you has been taken and you just feel numb and in denial.I've spent the last forty two hours convincing myself that a miracle would happen and Clara would come back to us, smiling and hugging me again.My entire world shattered the day Rachel put a bullet into Clara’s chest, hitting her far too close to her heart, no chance of survival, what the doctor said and it’s been replaying in my head for hours.The agony in my chest feels like a thousand knives, each one deeper and more excruciating than the last every breath I take is a cruel reminder that she no longer takes any at all and it was all my fault.Her absence is a gaping wound that nothing can heal. The memories, once a source of joy, now feel like a cruel joke played by time. I remember the warmth of her smile, the sparkle in her eyes, and the way her laughter could light up even the darkest of days especially when I’d come to her about Jason .
Jason 's POVI was on edge. Violet had been kidnapped for the third time. I don't even know when those people would stop.I already had a team working on finding her location while I tried to calm the fuck down, which isn’t working out for me.Pacing around, I finally got informed that they had found her location. When it came to my wife, my rational thinking was considered non-existent and I quickly rushed over to the location.I went into the small building which looked like a closed down bakery on the outside but was very different on the inside.I went in alone and followed the sounds of people talking in the distance.My feet led me into a room with not so much lighting but I could see two figures standing opposite the door.Camille and Rachel . I fucking knew it.They noticed I had arrived “Ah Jason welcome, we’ve been waiting for you y’know? Took you long enough.” He said while relaxing his elbows on a table nearby.I quickly observed the room and noticed a small door in som
Rachel 's POV“Why would you do something as insensible as this?!” Camille asked the boys who helped us kidnap Violet and her best friend, who was also my ex boyfriend's sister.“When the task was given to you, I asked of only Violet . Not anyone else. Can't you all do a clean job?” Camille continued his scolding. The boys shuddered in fear, honestly I didn't know why Camille was behaving this way. His reaction was annoying, I was happy to get Violet. Clara was a bonus, that bitch never liked me even when I was dating her brother. “They were together boss, it would be unprofessional on our path to take only one of them sir. The other one would have raised an alarm immediately and it wouldn't be this outcome sir.” one of the boys which I assumed to be the leader said. “Bullshit!” Camille retorted angrily. “Calm down Cam, their reasons are factual. Besides this is a bonus for us, Clara was always an obstacle on my part.” I said to him.Not that I forgot the escapades between Camil
Violet 's POVI sat among everyone deciding whether I was ready to do this. I felt my hands sweaty from being too anxious and I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down.This was one of the things I hated, I didn’t like to address people. This was one of the reasons why this position was not right for me. I can barely speak in the presence of a lot of people, it was not just my thing.I knew Charles was very capable. He was outspoken and capable. Besides this was what he had always wanted. “Good morning ma'am,” they greeted as they all walked in. I wasn’t used to this but I tried, I liked to be free. I wanted to be free. Maybe I could tell them not to address me as ma’am.“Good morning everyone. As you must know I am the heir of the Shakesmen property.” I said, introducing myself.I never imagined myself to be in this position a few years back. I had always thought I was going to continue living my normal life. Though it pained me that I could not live with my family. I did not
Violet 's POVJason had just gotten back from work and I welcomed him. He looked hungry. I reached out to kiss him and what he did next shocked me. His right hand, firmly gripped on my hips this time, he pulled me closer as he sucked on my neck area. Using his left hand, he shut the door behind us and locked it rapidly. "Jason ," I called slowly as what he was doing to me was really messing my head up."I miss us baby," he groaned.This time as I was pinned by the wall, he devoured my upper lips and then my lower lips. He did this interchangeably. Soon as I was filled with pleasure, I wanted more and decided to kiss him back the way I wanted.I entangled my tongue with his as I proceeded to use my hands to tease his cock area. I felt him moaning in my mouth which made me feel satisfied.After continuously sucking and devouring each other's lips, I decided to spice up the moment by going naked.I struggled to remove my shirt because he refused to free my lips from his. When he noti
Rachel 's POVI hit the steering wheel angrily!“F**k! This shouldn't have happened.” I muttered to myself. Despite all my tries, it seems Violet just always slips off at the time of death. I was only smart enough this time to have escaped, else I would have also been arrested. The only mistake Violet was making was thinking I was going to back down. I would never back down, I have to kill that wench!Right now I was on the lookout, I had to be careful else I will end up behind bars. The only person that could help me was someone with affluence and power. My parents would never agree to help me. In fact my father, when he heard that I was involved in the case again, had decided to disown me. My mother was mad at me but she was still considerate unlike my father. All these was no one else's fault aside from that bi*ch called Violet. I won't relent until I see her buried six feet to the ground.I also hated Jason with passion. After all I've done for him, he still chose to betray
Jason 's POVViolet walked towards my direction with a smile. The smile that makes my heart flutter whenever I see it. There was just this thing that she does to me, I couldn't explain it. There was a party organized for Violet 's welcome back. Few of the Hughes family were there. They were people we don't even know but they were kind enough and happy to receive Violet .Kaitlyn and her family were still in jail awaiting the court's order. Evidence had already shown that they were guilty of all crime charges. Now no one was going to bother my woman anymore.“Congratulations my love or should I say CEO.” I said, giving her a quick kiss. "I just hope you won't leave me now that it happened that you are far wealthier than me?" I asked playfully “Don't be silly, besides I told you I don't want to be the CEO,” she said.I stared at her with a frown, why would she not want to?“You know that I would stand by you whenever you need help, you don't have to be bothered about it.” I said to
Jason 's POV“Who are you?” someone in the board meeting asked. We had arrived earlier but we had to wait for the right time to strike. I had spoken to Violet a day before and told her all of our plans. Though, I wasn’t going to involve her too much with talking. I had made those plans ahead, I made sure they weren’t going to have to question her right. This was the least she deserved after suffering for years. Those evil doers had stripped her off her right. They didn’t allow her to enjoy her time with her family and now they also didn’t want her to enjoy her wealth. I wasn’t going to allow that Everyone's eyes were on us as we made our presence in the room.I knew they weren’t expecting us. In fact, they had forgotten about us when they got the documents. Their focus changed and that was exactly what we wanted. If their focus still remained on us, it wouldn’t have been easy to get some of the evidence we got today. “We are here to introduce the real heir of this company to you
Narrator's POV Violet and Jason had started receiving threats from unknown numbers about the whole issue. At first Violet was scared but Jason had told her not to be. They increased their security system and kept the evidence in a safe place. They were still pondering on what to do but Jason had gone to see Hughes' private lawyer and told him about the case. They had agreed to keep everything low for now and strike when the evil doers were not expecting it. Rachel on the other hand has agreed to work with Summer and Kaitlyn . She had craved for revenge and there couldn't be any better opportunity than this. Rachel didn't even bother to think things through, all she wanted was for Violet to be dead. Her life had turned miserable all thanks to that bitch and this was her final chance for revenge. She agreed immediately and they all devised a plan to get into Jason ’s house. Rachel knew Violet was gullible enough to accept her pleas if she begged so she went to Jason ’s
