The smell of his familiar cologne was the first thing that wafted into Cookie’s nostrils as she began to wake from her sleep. At first, it felt like she was in another one of her dreams until her eyes slid open to see that in fact, she was in his room. A wave of confusion hit her and she sat up, resting her back on the headboard.

How did she get here?

She wracked her brain in an attempt to recall how she landed here but the last thing she could remember was dancing at the Karaoke bar with her friend, Susan.

Her eyes darted to the other side of the bed to see the sheets were rumpled. The window blinds were also up. It meant he slept on the same bed with her. Cookie expected to be livid at that realization, considering he doesn’t know she’s done with Hansel, and he’s been messing around with Selena.

Why would he take her to his bed? And what was she even doing in his home, dressed in his clothes?

Needing the answers to these questions, she scampered out of bed, ignoring her messy bed

    “A Lot has happened, doll,” Jamie responded, letting out a deep breath. He grabbed Cookie’s arm and led her back to the kitchen, pushing out one of the stools of the kitchen island for her to sit on while he proceeded to dish her breakfast and handed her a bottle of water.Cookie continued staring at him as he cleaned up the sink, noticing the way his shoulders were bunched and how tense his posture was. It was as though he was having an internal struggle with himself. Instead of eating, she rose to her feet and walked up to him, circling her arms around his waist and letting them glide to his naked torso, the warmth of his skin seeping into her palm as she hugged him from behind. She rested her head on his back and felt him visibly relax into her touch.“It’s alright, Jamie. We don’t have to talk about it, now or ever if you’re not comfortable with it,” as much as she was curious to hear all about it and to know why Sylvia Lancaster was at his home, begging for a place in his life, s

    “Are you sure you wanna go?” Jamie asked, wrapping his arms around Cookie’s waist with her back to his torso as he rested his head on hers.Their reflection stared back at them from the mirror and Cookie grinned as she quickly took a picture of them, needing to keep a record of the moment. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her neck, trailing his tongue to her ear and biting her ear lobe. She let out a squeal, tilting her neck to give him more leverage.“Stay the night? I promise I’ll make it worth it,” he growled into her ear but she shook her head, laughing.“No, Jamie. I have to be at work tomorrow,”“We’ll settle that. Aiden will get some work clothes for you before tomorrow and I’ll drop you off after a goodnight's rest,”She paused her lips, pretending to consider his offer. It was a nice one and also very tempting too but she really needed to be home to finish up some work before the next day.“Maybe some other time. I have some work to finish up,”He pouted and slightly bit d

    It was a weekday and Jamie was in his office, reading through a contract that his manager had drafted, ready to be sent out to their client but then his office phone rang, disrupting him. He frowned as he picked up the phone and placed it on his ear, resting against his chair. His assistant's voice sailed through.“Sir…” but before she could speak further, Jamie interrupted her.“I thought I told you I didn’t want to be disturbed for the rest of the day?” he questioned harshly, hating that she’d pulled him from his work and now he had forgotten half of the adjustments he wanted to ask Aiden to make to the document.“I’m sorry, Sir but there’s a woman here to see you. She claims it’s urgent and is threatening to make a scene if she doesn’t speak with you,”He scoffed in annoyance and it was at the tip of his tongue to tell her to call security but then his curiosity got the best of him.“Who is she?”Deep down, he wondered if it was Sylvia. Heaven knows he’d have security throw her out

    “Thanks for today,” Cookie said with a dazzling smile etched on her face as they stepped out of the restaurant and headed for Jamie’s car.“Anything for you, doll,” he paused by the hood of the car and pulled her into his arms, kissing her softly. Cookie melted into the kiss, wrapping her free palm around the back of his neck as she deepened the kiss, getting lost in it and forgetting that they were in public. But he pulled away and laughed, resting his forehead on hers. He stared into her gleaming eyes and his heart leaped. He could stare at this woman all day and never get enough of her beauty.“Stay the night,” he murmured against her lips.“Tomorrow is a work day,” she reminded him but she didn't refuse and it made him smirk. It meant he would eventually win her over.“And I can have Aiden deliver your work clothes and drive you to work in the morning. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy an amazing night in my arms,” he winked at her and she blushed at the sensual promise in his words. He

    It was a Friday afternoon and Jamie was trying to tidy up some loose ends in the contract his attorney had drafted, regarding his partnership with the Henderson family business. He was lost in his old world until he suddenly heard the sound of his office door slamming against the wall. The disturbance jerked him away from the file on his desk and his eyes darted up to see Selena there, this time, holding a little kid.His eyes widened almost immediately with recognition but then his assistant rushed in with a frightened expression etched on her face.“I’m sorry Sir but I tried holding her back but she wouldn’t listen,” she explained profusely in a shaky voice but Jamie waved her off, sending her out of the office. As soon as the door shut behind her, he returned his attention to Selena who was standing there like she had the right to be in his office, while still holding onto the kid whose innocent gaze was fixed on Jamie, her big ocean-blue eyes drinking him in.Staring at Selena wit

    That weekend, true to Jamie’s words, he had his manager, Aiden, book a doctor’s appointment with his personal doctor, Dr. Bailey, to get the DNA test done. After the test was conducted, they returned to the hospital two days later to hear the test results. The Doctor was busy and asked them to wait for a few minutes. Selena was very relaxed, with her daughter sitting on her lap as they waited for the doctor, while Jamie was a nervous wreck on the inside. Selena’s calmness was getting to him and his heart was racing erratically, slamming hard against his chest. Even as he tried to keep calm and school his features into an emotionless exterior, his guts were in knots from his anxiety. They stayed in the waiting area for almost an hour before the doctor finally emerged, apologizing for the delay. Thereafter, she took them to her office to read the results out to them.“Would you like me to read them out or will you have a look yourself?” Dr. Bailey asked, looking between them.“It’s fin

    The next weekend, Cookie moved into Jamie’s apartment, as he’d proposed. She didn’t second guess her decision and was happy to be living with the love of her life. She’d told her friends and her mom about the engagement, and she couldn’t wait to tell Gretchen more about the progress of their relationship. Her mom was happy for her. She’d always known Gretchen approved of Jamie for her and now that they were back together, she was glad that her daughter was in safe hands.It was a Monday evening, and she’d closed from work early. Usually, Jamie would drive to her place of work to pick her up but she decided to surprise him with a nice evening. Hence, she took a cab home and showered, deciding to prepare his favorite meal for dinner. But first, she called her mom to spread the good news to her.“Hey mom,” she greeted Gretchen with a bright smile on her face, as the older woman stared back at her from the computer screen.“Hey, baby, aww see how you’re glowing?” she praised her, returni

    Jamie opens the door to see Cookieseared on the bed, her eyes red and puffy as she stared at her fingers that she was wringing on her lap.“B-baby, I promise, it's not what you think, I…”“Oh yeah, then tell me what to think. Correct me!” Cookie said in a calm but firm voice that sent shivers down his spine. The expression on her face scared him. It was as if she was already deciding his fate within her but only wanted to hear him convince her that Selena and a child that looks so much like him hadn’t just shown up to his doorstep, that it was only a bad dream. He truly wished he could tell her that but he knew he’d hurt her by keeping it from her. He should have told her when it all just started. He should have known Selena would go to all extents to fight him and destroy his life with that little connection that they had.“I’ll tell you everything, my love,” he crouched to his knees before her, reaching for her hands and surprisingly, she let him hold her as he stared into her blur

They weren’t ready to adopt but they wanted to be happy. They were fine with just Julia and they couldn't have asked for more.Sitting on the beach blanket, she watched with a huge smile on her face as Jamie and Julia played in the water, splashing water on each other and laughing hysterically.

    It’s been two weeks since Sylvia's accident. Immediately Williams divulged the news of the accident, together with Ryan, they drove down to the scene, just about ten minutes out of state to see she’d been escaping from her calamities. She was rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment and she underwent surgery. At the accident scene, her luggage was found coupled with the original documents she’d gotten Clifford to sign that she was meant to pass on to Jamie to finally start off her takeover plan.After the surgery, her legs were badly injured so she had to rely on a wheelchair and the doctor said she may be paralyzed forever. Due to this, the family had pity on her and didn’t involve the police but they made sure to destroy whatever documents she had in her possession. They fired her from the company too and she was left in a nursing home as she couldn’t care for herself and Williams wasn’t yet over the shock of the terrible secrets she’s been hiding. He couldn't be tasked with

    According to Jamie’s plan, they all assembled at Ryan’s family home in New York the next day, to reveal Sylvia’s decades-old secret. Before then, he called Sylvia the previous night after his meeting with Ryan, to set up a meeting with her in Texas, just to keep her away from New York during the meeting, as a means of evading her. During his call, he assured her he was ready to take on the task and he made her believe he was still annoyed at how Ryan had treated him in the past. It was believable enough to Sylvia and she praised him for finally manning up to do the right thing.Disregarding that they were still on call, she went about spewing her hate for the Davidson’s and how she’d gotten Clifford to sign the documents that would give up his properties and business empire to Jamie, all in the name of partnering with him. She even shared a soft copy of the document to him after the call and asked him to sign it through electronic means but Jamie refused. He stated that they’d need a

    The next day, as planned, Ryan flew to Texas to meet with Jamie in a private location. Jamie had tried retelling Sylvia’s evil plans to him on the phone but he couldn’t get himself to convince the man that Sylvia isn't who they all thought she was. Ryan wanted to confirm for himself, so they set up the meeting.It was held in one of the branches of Ryan’s companies in Texas, to avoid suspicions and to make it look like a business meeting if the news ever gets out. Jamie didn’t put it past Sylvia to secretly keep a watch on him just to monitor his next moves.As soon as they settled into the conference room, he handed the copy of the document that Sylvia had given to him to Ryan as a piece of evidence.“There’s the document your family has been searching for, for the past two years,” he stated, settling into his seat and allowing Ryan to flip through the pages as the realization began to dawn on him. A frown marred his face, the more he read through the pages of the contract.“You’re t

    That night, Jamie sat in his home office, still pondering on everything Sylvia had confided in him. He couldn’t believe she was the same woman that had committed such evil acts. The same woman that came off as a saint to guilt trip him into forgiving her and accepting her as his biological mother. But it turned out she only needed him to finalize her revenge plans.It hurt him deeply to realize the truth that Sylvia was only using him. She only came back because she needed him as the final piece to achieve her aim. These thoughts swarmed his head as he sat in the plush leather seat, staring at the document she’d handed to him. He didn’t know what was inside except it contained ten percent of the Davidson's assets that she’d somehow acquired, as she’d informed him earlier that day.Slowly, he pulled it closer and flipped it open to see it was a draft business contract that had been signed. Slowly, his gaze traveled through the page as he read the document. It stated that Benjamin David

    It was the weekend and Jamie was seated in his car in the parking lot of the restaurant Sylvia had chosen for their meeting. He’d thought it would be at her home or even his home but surprisingly, she sent the address of a restaurant in Texas to him. He thought it was meant to be a private meeting to avoid drawing attention to themselves as her husband and daughter may not take the news well, but then, he didn’t object to her decision. He gave his word that he’d show up and he did. He was in his car for another ten minutes before he got the call from Sylvia that she’d arrived.Drawing in a deep breath, he alighted from his car in time to see her heading into the building. He caught up with her and they exchanged pleasantries before walking into the room, where she’d already made reservations at a private booth in a corner that could grant them the privacy she wanted.At first, Jamie was a bit confused that her husband and daughter were nowhere to be found and he mentioned it as soon a

    It was almost an hour later before Cookie could drive back to the house. To her surprise, Jamie’s car was in the garage. She drew in a shaky breath and stared at her puffy eyes through the rearview mirror. Her heart was palpitating and she wasn’t sure she was ready to face him, confront him, and get the truth out of him. What if he confesses that he truly married her out of pity? Considering he already has a child, what if he says he can’t be with her anymore since he has Julia and may not even need to be married? Although she trusted the man, she still couldn’t help worrying and coming up with different self-damaging thoughts. She sat outside for a few minutes before her phone rang and it was Jamie calling. She thought of answering the call but she let it go to voicemail as she finally gathered the nerves to get out of the car and head into the house. She got in to see him in the living room, still dressed in his custom-tailored suit, pacing with his phone in his ear but as soon as

    The cold water from the shower nozzles cascaded over them, as Jamie took his time to wash every inch of Cookie’s body. His skilled fingers rubbed her torso, down to her thighs, slipping between her legs to clean her up and she let out a little whimper, her body sagging against his, with her eyes closed. He chuckled and lightly kissed her neck.“I wish I could stay here forever,” she murmured, releasing a deep breath.Jamie chuckled again, loving how she was melting against him.“You had that luxury for a month but you chose to spend more than half of the time in bed, with me,”“And whose fault was it?” she snapped back but again, he laughed.“Not mine, but I made sure you had a good time, didn’t you?” he latched onto her neck, drinking in the droplets of water from the shower and taking his time to suck hard on her soft spot until a hickey was beginning to form.She released a deep moan, feeling like putty in his arms as he toyed with her body.“You know we’re running late right?” she
