°Chapter Six°

•JASON THORNE•

I stared at how she snored softly with her head laid back. She said she had seen me. Did she know she was right?

She could be.

I shook my head and parked the car. I turned to tap her but paused for a while. Even if I wake her up, she still won't be completely awake. I sighed and stepped down from the car. I opened the door to the passenger's seat and carried her.

She mumbled incoherent words, I lifted her properly and made my way to her entrance. I picked out the key from her dangling purse and opened the door. Stepping in, I turned on the lights and saw that Johnny was not home.

That was good.

I went into her room and slowly laid her on the bed. Her phone began to vibrate. I looked at the caller's ID. It was her foster mother. I contemplated picking it but that would spark some unwanted discussion now. Just as I was about to disconnect it, the door bell rang and I released a deep breath

That was all it took for me to come out of my subconscious mind.I was uncomfortable. My head was banging me hard and I could not find the strength to open my eyes, even my lids felt heavy. I rolled from one another side of the bed to the other side. My body ached eo badly that I felt it in my soul everywhere.Finally I laid in a place, letting out a deep breath. I slowly opened my eyes. I came in contact with the rolling fan of my room and the how did I get home syndrome hit me to so hard that I jerked up instantly. A wave of dizziness and bad head ache clashed into me, making me wince slightly as I gripped my head.What the hell?Slowly recovering from it, I glanced around the place. How did I get home?I could hardly remember anything as I slowly scrambled down the bed. Wait, I have to go to work today!I hurried back to the bed, my eyes widened as I pick

I knew if I had told her about my background, she would not have considered my offer but we are already legally married and there was nothing she can could do about it since it included the issue with her ex.I fought to drag away my gaze from her shocked face and continued with addressing the workers. As I did, I could not help side glancing at her and after I was done, relief washed through me.“You are dismissed.” I told them and they all began to move out of the hall until it remained Collins, Jennifer and I.Her gaze was still on me as if she did not want to believe I was standing before her. She soon recovered because she rose to her feet and walked out, trashing my hope of her talking to me.I noticed Collins walking towards me. “Why do you have me employ her when she hardly met t

He...”“Enough.” The lady cut her off and turned to me.“ You can give me the files.” She said, extending her hands out. I hurriedly placed them in her hands and I caught the look of confusion in her eyes at my speed. Finally my savior came. It was not like I wanted to meet him anyway.Giving her a slight bow, I walked away not forgetting to give the secretary a harsh glare.I settled back in my seat and continued working.

No. Do I give a fuck? No.” She rolled her eyes.My gaze lingered on her for a while as several murderous thoughts roamed through my head.“Don't forget that the punishment for murder is life imprisonment with hard labor.” She reminded me like she was some attorney or something.I snorted and looked away.“She is nice. She asked if we had met before.” She said and that got my attention.“And what did you tell her?” My eyes were hard on her.“Yes.” She grimaced and I eyed her hard.“Why the hell will you tell her yes?” I questioned her, almost racing my voice.“Because I enjoy seeing you yell in anger and being angry.” She replied with a too sweet smile.I glared daggers at her. Esther has been with me since I started the company. She was my best friend and she was really dear

Giving Didi a last smile, I stepped into the cab and zoomed away, they still stood behind me before they disappeared from the front mirror.I focused on the same tab in my hand. I was to submit some documents and with what happened last night, I was unable to go through them. I quickly ran through it and edited a few errors. My mind kept wandering back to this morning scene and that of last night.Maybe I should not have been that harsh at him. I should probably apologize when I get back to him at home today... Or even in the office.Shaking my head, I stared outside through the window, suddenly captivated by the view. Was there freedom now? Why did I feel I was yet to be free? Even after Jason had promised to keep Johnny and me safe from Stanley, I could not help the feeling of being a burden.I

She was sipping coffee, dressed in her office wear and she turned a glance at me.The flashback of what happened last night replayed before my eyes again and I blinked, getting rid of it. Licking my lips, I opened my mouth to greet her. "Good morning," Her lips thinned into a smile as she gave me a light nod. "I made you a cup of coffee." She told me, reaching out for the other cup and extending it to me.I collected it and offered her an appreciative smile which she did not return but she turned back to the tray of served bacon and eggs. My throat bobbed as my mouth watered. I must say she was a really good cook. Johny was in his little space, enjoying his breakfast which he had probably refused Jenny to help him with.The steam from the coffee fanned my lips as I lifted the cup to my lips to sip."I wi

I was suddenly reminded how everything was going to come to an end in some months' time. I did not want it to end. I wanted it to continue but I was met with the realization that every one of these was not real. Was never real.Tears streamed down my face as I stood before the mirror in the bathroom. I had left Jason with Johnny because I did not want him to see me in this state. In such a vulnerable state.I sniffed in again, wiping the tears off my face but more tears came dropping uncontrollably. I continued to cry. No more thoughts. No more words. Just the tears that could not be stopped.These were the tears of the pent-up pain from the last time. Worry gnawed at me. What would happen after Jason and I stop see
