Jason's POV I was out on a walk when I was preparing to go back home. I had missed Lisa even if it was just a few hours ago I left her. Getting into my car, my phone started ringing.It was Clara.I smiled faintly before picking it up." Tired of fighting?""Tsk tsk tsk, I wish you could channel this fight toward that old man. Both of you are a pain in the ass, Jay. I thought you love Violet?" Clara spat out, ignoring my sarcasm.I sat up straight, furrowing my brow," What happened, Clara? What did Grandfather do to my wife?"I listened to her explanation and with each words I could feel my jaw clenching and my fist holding tightly to the steering. I can't believe Grandpa would stoop so low. What if Clara wasn't with Violet?I wanted to drive back to the mansion but since Clara was still there, I decided to make a detour to the Clarksville Villa instead.As soon as I got there, I saw my grandfather sitting elegantly as if he was waiting for my arrival. I glared at my grandfather with
His voice sounded distressed and normally I wouldn't care but his tone made me slightly worried for Violet."I am." She said calmly to him."No, please tell me you are joking. You can't be pregnant."He said, his tone getting louder."Will you keep it down?""No, I won't. This is ridiculous. How could you…""I know and it's my fault. It just sort of happened, just promise me you won't say anything to my parents."She pleaded with him."What do you mean it just sort of happened? Are you the one who got yourself pregnant?"I didn't hear her say anything." I'm really disappointed in you, Violet. I thought you promised me that it's all work. You went ahead to sleep with him!" The voice on the other end seemed very angry. I was surprised that Martin was right. He was right about her being pregnant. I wondered how he knew that she was pregnant. "Just don't say anything to my parents. They can't find out I'm carrying the baby of the Clarksville family. All hell would break loose and I can
The restaurant was relatively quiet as Charles, Martin and I sat down for lunch.We were already close to nailing the murderer behind Brock's wife's death.All evidence was slowly but steadily leading us to a particular direction. It won't be long now until we finally capture the culprit and both clear Lisa's family name and bring Brock's wife's killer to the full wrath of justice. Everything was going well. Violet was pregnant and then the case was moving forward. I couldn't be happier if I tried. The only thing that was probably going south in my life was the issue with my grandfather. I was still surprised that he'd fired me and worse of all my father had not been able to do anything about it. It wasn't as if I was going to change my mind, I would have chosen Violet over and over again. It still boggles my mind how my grandpa could have thought for a second his ultimatum would work.Violet's brother was also coming through with the case and I wasn't surprised, the smartness seem
VIOLET POV"Mom, can we just drop this conversation?"I told my mother an hour later after she'd emerged from her room once more to complain about what a horrible child I was and how I was going to taint our name with the name of the Clarksville. I was already getting old and I was tired of feeling bad and crying like a baby. Sure I had fucked up but they were acting like I did it on purpose. If only Joe had not said anything, I could have found an easier and better way to tell them but he just had to open his big mouth."Do not speak to your mother like that, especially when you know you are in the wrong."My father barked angrily. My father wasn't a man of many words but when it came to the Clarksville, he was suddenly very Vocal. I wished they could just see past each other's hatred and realise that the hatred towards each other was uncalled for but I knew they couldn't, they had hated them too long to."In the wrong? All I did was get pregnant, the both of you are acting as if I
Jason's POVThere was nothing. Nothing to hold on to. And my head just wanted to explode.Someone in the company was messing with us and I will get them no matter how or what they do.The search was finally over as the team couldn't put themselves to keep watching. No one gave a hint to another. Though I got to see some silly actions, they were the least of my worries."Sir, the last footage has just been watched. I will leave now. I will still privately look into this." The head of security said to me, as he was the last one in the office… The others left with the equipment they earlier came in with.I turned to him. Forced to smile. A man I had harassed earlier, actually promising to stick by me."Much appreciated. Please do, and if there is any update, let me know." I said before diverting my stare.With the details held by my rival, they would go ahead of me, and it is just but a few days to the press conference I picked up my buzzing phone without looking at the caller ID, but
JASON POVNot getting what she was expecting, I watched as Rachel shaking. Or rather trying to control her emotions. "Jay, you…""Rachel, you should know me better. Or did you plan this?" I asked, raising my brows."Jay! I-how could you think that of me!" She asked, fuming. Then she got up angrily and walked out of the office after mumbling what no one could hear or understand."Pathetic." I said just after she shut the door.She wanted to help but, with marriage attached? That was a crazy offer. I never thought it would get to this. Why not just help out? Divorcing my wife for assistance."Why did you turn down such a great opportunity? From the look of things. Her family are, right now, among the top richest in the nation. Imagine what his connection would do. Like, we could even sue the rival company and get the culprit behind this." Charles said with a smile, and I glared at him. Pretending not to have heard him.Though, I love the fact he stood to his words. Not a word was hear
Violet Pov"And you are a homewrecker!" She barked at me."That's weird. If I remember completely, you had both broken up when we met. The only thing I broke is your ego. You are mad that you can no longer use him. You are a piece of shit Rachel and I hope you find the help that you need "With that I plucked my bag from the coffee table and stormed out of the coffee shop.I was already in tears before I got to my car. What the hell was I going to do ?I spent the rest of the twenty minutes crying in my car. I was so upset about everything.Just when Jason and I were planning our life together, this had to happen and I was positive it was all Rachel's doing.Why couldn't everyone just leave us the fuck alone? It was like everywhere I looked someone wanted something from me. I just wanted a little break.Taking a deep breath, I wiped my eyes clean with a paper towel I found in my car and drove home. As I drove home, I tried calling Jason but I was constantly sent to voicemail.I wasn'
Jason's POVI just got to the company, as usual, and got greetings from everyone. My secretary approached me with her smile that made me remember Violet. Her smiles had always cheered me up. I got to the office and sat on my seat and was ready for the day's work when my phone started ringing."Sir, you got a call." My secretary pointed it out but I waved at her to leave it. I didn't need any distraction. Ever since the leaked project, I've been very careful and make sure whatever that is being carried out has my full concentration.Then the phone rang again and this time, I signalled her to pick up since I was so focused on the document submitted to me."Hello, please how may I….." She didn't say anything else and I turned to her direction. Curiously waiting for a response.Without a word, she turned to me before dropping the call. Finally breaking the awkward silence."Sir, I was told your wife is at the mansion. Source said she's being questioned by your family members. I don't und
