Rachel's POVI paced around the room anxiously, I couldn't believe that Clara had to take side of that bi*ch. We used to be very close and she always does what I say but that witch happened. My plans to get her kicked out were beginning to fail. Somehow that bi*ch contrived to wrap Clara around her little fingers. One of the reasons I was telling her to stay away from Jason's family. I know how weak hearted Clara is and that's the reason her boyfriend betrayed her. She's just too weak. I couldn't retain my anger with the way Clara kept raising her voice and had to speak up. I hated the fact that she would take that woman's side. I know Clara, for her to accuse me like that she must have heard something and believed it. I was sure it wasn't only Violet that told her about what happened, that old witch would have said something. None of this would have happened if Violet wasn't here. She is the only difficulty in my life right now. I had thought returning and getting back to Jason
Jason's POVI was stunned after what Rachel had told me what Clara and Violet did to her. I didn't know why they wouldn't let me have a moment of peace. I couldn’t believe Clara would do something as despicable as that. She was friends with Rachel before she left me. I might understand that she wasn't happy because she left me all of a sudden but then we know that she was very sick that was why she left. She didn't leave because she hated me. Clara should understand this more than anyone. I can't believe that Violet hasn't learnt her lesson in this house. I could see why Violet was having the nerve to exhibit such characters, I had to put her in her place. Violet must have thought that if she starts acting like an antagonist I waa going to let her go. No, I won't let her go, I will make sure that she does her job well before she's free from me. I just need to talk some sense into Clara. Leaving my relationship with Rachel aside, Rachel was our childhood friend. We have known each
Jason's POVStorming out of her house, I couldn't help but hit my steering wheel angrily. Clara wouldn't act rashly if she didn't see evidence of what Violet had told her.Of all the Clarksville family, Clara was the most accommodating and kind. Violet must have done this in revenge for forcing her into marrying me. I would find out the truth and make sure to deal with her. “Violet brought trouble into my family!” I thought as I ruffled my hair. I started the engine, I drove speedily to the house as I couldn't wait to pour out my frustration. I drove along a shorter route and I got home sooner than I had expected. Rachel rushed to meet me immediately after my car got in. She must have been waiting for me. “You got me worried Jay, you shouldn't have left angrily," Rachel scolded as she held my hands and took me into the house. “You just got back from a trip, what I expect from you is to rest not fight for me,” Rachel continued scolding. I was trying hard to believe all that Clar
Violet's POVI tried regaining my breath as Jason had choked me terribly. Staring at Rachel who had an innocent look on her face only made me angry. She was a liar, pretender and wouldn't stop at anything just for her selfish reason. It was hard believing that she would separate the siblings just for her to achieve her aim. Wondering how Clara would be feeling now, she really loved her brother and only wanted the best for him.Rachel was slowly eliminating everyone just to get Jason. I wish I could just disappear from everything that was happening. I paced around the room thinking of a way to expose her evil deeds. At least if not for me but for Clara's sake. I wouldn't want her to be at variance with her brother again. If care wasn't taken, Rachel would do something worse and might even get Vince out of the way. I knew I had to find a way to expose Rachel soon so that I would be free from Jason. I don't know if it's obsession or he just loves to see me unhappy. He should have kn
The day went by fast as usual as I headed back home very tired. Vince was already home and ran to give me an embrace upon my arrival. Of everything in this house, this was the only person that gave me solace. "How are you, baby?” I asked him as I threw lots of kisses on his face making him giggle. "I'm not a baby anymore, mommy. I'll be turning five soon," He said with a pout.I laughed at him. He must have learnt that with his friends."If you are not a baby, what then are you?" I asked him, smiling." I'm a big man mommy and I'm here to protect you," he said firmly.He even showed me his arm, that he was growing muscles and I couldn't help burst into laughter.I noticed someone's shadow and I raised my head only to see Rachel scowling at me. I was honestly not in the mood for her attitude this evening, so I ignored her presence. But not Vince."Momma, that aunty looks scary. Why does dad keep her in the house?" He asked, pointing at Rachel." You little brat!" Rachel cursed, fumin
Narrator's POV As Jason was at the office talking to his best friend, his mind wasn't at rest and he already told his personal assistant to find someone who will trace Violet to wherever she's taking the money to. He knew if she escaped before he got home, he would need to start looking for her.He wasn't concerned about the money but about her leaving. He couldn't even concentrate on his friend that he was talking to. He was so happy to see his friend but the news he got about Violet's withdrawal got him destabilized. Jason was still contemplating on her whereabouts when his spy told him Violet went home. He immediately canceled all his meetings and gave instructions to Alex before he headed home. His friend wanted to follow him but he had told him he could handle it. His friend knew every single detail about Violet but he didn't want him to meet her now.He couldn't believe that what he heard from the person was true. How will she withdraw money and just head home? He was in so
Jason's POVI groaned for the hundredth time, dropping the pile of paper which I was holding. “What's up?” Ben asked. Ben was a new investor in my company, fortunately, we had few things in common so we blended together almost becoming like friends. “Family issues,” I simply replied, earning a chuckle from him. “Who doesn't have family issues, it's like a phase of one's life,” Ben replied with a laugh, making me force a smile. “Are you still on about your forced wife?” I asked him, earning a scowl for a response. Unlike me that forced a woman to marry me, Ben was my opposite. He was forced into his marriage, he has avoided his new wife as far as he could. He says he would never accept her as his wife. “Maybe you should just give her a try,” I suggested. Ben was about to reply to me when my table phone rang."What?" I asked my secretary.I've been quite harsh to everyone around me for days now. Even Alex, who knows how to do his job well, annoys me these days. How would I not
Jason's POVI angrily stared at Rachel who was fuming. What was wrong with her and why would she talk to me like that?“And what's that supposed to mean, Rachel?” I asked her with a raised eyebrow. "Violet is my legal wife, are you questioning my actions in my home?” I asked her angrily as her demeanor started to soften.“I didn't mean it that way…” Rachel started stuttering. “I meant why didn't you come up to rest,” she said, changing the narratives. Glaring at her for a long time. “This shouldn't repeat itself, I don't appreciate being questioned in my own home,” I said before angrily storming out.Rachel had ruined my mood and the whole atmosphere. All through my bath, I couldn't get Violet's image off my head.“What's all this about?” I asked myself. I felt strange, trying to shake off the feeling seemed almost impossible. Putting on a lighter outfit, I went back downstairs to meet Violet feeding Vince. I moved closer to them and gave a little frown. Violet saw me and chuckl
