It was another usual day when Ben was working on a project.Jordan had introduced a client to them, and Ben and Edwin were going to meet them.However, the client expressed their eagerness to visit them in the Wilson group and why would they deny it.The project was good, and the client wanted to start their new branch in Australia. They chose Wilson Group and offered this project because who could be better than Wilson Group in this country?The branch was well known in China and it was their first time expanding abroad.Though the business wouldn’t give them much profit, Edwin wanted to try as Jordan introduced them.Ben wasn’t sure why Jordan would bring their client when he could work with them.But Ben didn’t voice out, as she knew how much Edwin cared for Jordan.But he never liked that man and his hatred increased after he saw what he did with Elisa.Ben would have informed all this to Edwin unless Edwin had such deep emotion toward him.He was Edwin’s only friend that Edwin tru
“Ben Jones,” Samara smiled mockingly when she noticed Ben enter.“Samara,” Ben spoke out instinctively.“You two know each other,” Ben heard Elisa’s voice and turned around and saw a noticeable frown on her face.Elisa wasn’t supposed to be present there.But when she heard this brand work on cosmetics and Edwin was finally invested in this, she was excited.But she didn’t expect to meet Ben's old acquaintance.“We have a long history with each other,” Samara said mockingly, and Ben frowned.“Can we start the meeting now?” Ben spoke out when he noticed Edwin entered the meeting room.He didn’t want to dwell on the past and ruin his present.But he didn’t know someone was here to ignite the flames of the past.Edwin had brought Janet with him, too.They sat in the meeting and the meeting went well.Edwin was happy with their products and above all, they were flexible and were ready with every term Edwin offered.But Ben wasn’t happy knowing she was the one who was going to work with th
Ben didn’t expect Elisa to defend him like this.Though he didn’t want to involve her, how she took his side made him feel elated.When they returned home, Elisa didn’t expect to find a bouquet on the coffee table.Ben had changed into his home clothes and was cooking dinner.“Who brought this?” Elisa asked curiously. They were the only two living there unless someone gifted it to Ben.“Me,” Ben replied and Elisa raised her brow.“For whom?” Elisa asked.“For you,” His direct answer made her happy.“Really? Why?” Elisa asked excitedly. There was a cheerful smile on her face.“I should treat my girlfriend well, shouldn’t I?” Ben said teasingly, and Elisa smirked.“Of course you should. Don’t forget who is your girlfriend’s brother. He will break your nose if you don’t treat her well,” Elisa said threateningly and Ben laughed out.“Are you going to warn your boyfriend like this? He would run away on the first date,” Ben said and Elisa laughed.“You didn’t yet,” Elisa winked and walked i
Elisa was shit scared after she came out of Edwin’s office.She impulsively announced her relationship with Ben before Edwin without thinking about the consequences.Now it’s time to face it.She didn’t know how Ben would react hearing it.He was supporting her until now, but now, when Edwin was involved in this mess, she wasn’t sure about this.Elisa walked into Ben’s office with a guilty look.Ben, busy with his work, looked up and noticed Elisa standing there like a withered flower.“What happened?” Ben asked, but Elisa was standing there with a guilty look, waiting for the scolding.“What?” Ben asked again when she didn’t reply.“Edwin… called me in his office,” Elisa replied, hesitating.“Did you get a scolding? I warned you to stay away from Janet, he was too protective of her,” Ben thought it was concerning Janet and didn’t bother too much.“No,” Elisa denied, and Ben frowned.“Then?” Ben asked again this time giving her his full concentration.“Jordan was there,” Elisa said, a
Elisa and Ben entered Edwin’s office, following him.Edwin was pacing angrily, and Elisa looked at Ben, and he held her hand, comforting her.They were slowly entangled in this lie and didn’t know how to get away from it.Edwin turned around and noticed their joined hand, which angered him more.“Get away from my sister,” Edwin yelled and Elisa shook away her hand from Ben.She had rarely seen Edwin this angry.“What were you two doing there? It’s office for God’s sake,” Edwin was enraged seeing them kissing each other openly.Elisa was his baby sister and though he knew it was normal for a couple to show affection he was still not adapted to their relationship.He was having a hard time accepting them.“Jordan was standing there, if you are getting intimate at least check around so that people don’t see you,” Edwin said and Elisa wanted to laugh seeing his distorted form.She never knew he would be this affected.Only if he knew they were doing this to show Jordan.Edwin couldn’t bel
It’s been a month,Elisa didn’t know her relationship with Ben would grow so beautifully.They were so happy together that every day felt beautiful.Edwin who was first having a hard time accepting their relationship had finally calmed down.But when life has given you something easily?The company Samara was representing had doing wonders in the Australian market because of Edwin.Every name that got connected to the Wilson group ought to do wonders, but Samara was showing too much appreciation to Edwin.To show her gratitude, she arranged a small get-together and invited everyone.But the get-together was arranged so lavishly it can be regarded as a small party.Every well-known figure was invited there, and the catch was you had to bring an add-on, your partner in a word.It wasn’t a big deal for Edwin and Elisa.Edwin was already married officially to Janet and though he never introduced her to his business associates formally it came out as a great opportunity.Elisa was dating Be
Though their relationship started not like how normal people began as a couple, in that passing month Elisa was feeling happy.How they were getting along. Elisa thought maybe they could have a future together.But she was wrong.She never imagined she would have to witness these things today.She had never forced Ben to stay with her. Though previously it was the demand of the moment, they could have easily parted ways.But Ben wanted to try it and is this what he wanted all along?To take revenge on her by insulting her?What was her fault?“Elisa,” Elisa heard Ben’s voice from behind and though she wanted to turn around and ask for an explanation, she was frozen.She didn’t want to hear his useless excuses when she had to witness the situation with her own eyes.“Elisa,” Ben’s voice again came and his tone wasn’t strong like normal.Elisa wanted to turn around and see what was happening, but Edwin stopped her.“Not anymore, Do hell with that bastard. I will deal with him tomorrow.
Elisa stayed overnight with Ben; after dawn, Ben slowly regained consciousness.What happened that night he had zero to no memory.When he woke up, he was surprised to find himself in a hospital bed.He woke up and noticed Elisa sleeping beside him, sitting on a chair. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn to the party.He slowly removed her hair from her face, and her solemn face looked so cute.Did she cry before sleeping? Because he noticed her face had remnants of dried tears.What happened last night? He was wondering when Elisa woke up slowly. She rubbed her eyes and when her eyes fell on Ben, and smile formed on her face.“You finally woke up?” Elisa finally could feel solace seeing him.“Why I am here?” Ben asked, and Elisa exhaled.“Last night you were drugged,” Elisa said, which made Ben frown.Elisa explained what happened and why he was lying on the bed and Ben could only feel enraged.He had tolerated Samara enough.This stunt was out of line, and she had cr
“Hello, everyone. Welcome to the grand wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Let’s welcome the bride and congratulate them for completing 25 years together.” The announcer announced while the door opened and there the beautiful bride was standing, wearing a beautiful mermaid-style wedding gown.She was holding a bouquet of White Lily’s with both hands tightly.Janet walked forward while Eric, and his younger brother, Ezra, were escorting her to the aisles.Erica and Edith, Janet’s third child are standing beside them holding the rings.Janet’s children have grown up and even though with time they had become busy and Janet forgot about Edwin’s promise to give her a wedding, Edwin didn’t forget it.So, on their Twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, Janet was walking the aisle though her children were close to marriageable age.Janet was at first shy and denied Edwin’s idea, but Edwin was adamant and finally persuaded her somehow.“Mom, feeling nervous?” Janet’s youngest child, Ezra, whispered in J
“How are you feeling now, Elisa?” Janet asked while serving her a plate filled with food.Elisa was in her advanced days of pregnancy and with time she was feeling uncomfortable every day.“I am good,” Elisa said while taking the plate.Janet served plates for Rebecca and her and sat together.They came for a picnic in Edwin’s farmhouse where they wanted to spend some quality time.Edwin was standing with Rabecca’s husband and Ben. They were, as usual, taking about some business matter while the ladies were sitting together.Eric and Erica were running in the field as they had already finished their lunch and Rim was looking after them.Eric’s grandparents were also there and sitting in the distance while watching the children enjoying their time.“Why did you serve so little for yourself?” Elisa asked, noticing Janet’s plate.“I am not feeling well for some days,” Janet said, and this made the environment tense.“Have you informed Edwin about your condition? He will take you to the
“When did you remember everything?” They have returned home and sitting on the living room sofa.Edwin was lying on her lap while Janet was caressing his hair.The TV was turned on, but they were only busy with each other.“The day I woke up in hospital,” Janet said and Edwin stood up and looked at her with a frown.“And you are only telling me now? That’s why you were behaving abnormally?” Edwin was taken aback by her revelation.Janet knew her reason was useless, and she was worrying unnecessarily.But she had suffered a lot through these years, and she was feeling insecure when she woke up.That’s why she didn’t know whether she wanted to tell anyone about her health.“Why?” Edwin didn’t understand why she hid it for so long.It’s been a week since Edwin brought her home.Why she was telling him the truth now?“I was thinking useless things. It’s not important anymore,” Janet said but Edwin wasn’t having it.He wanted to know what was bothering her.“Nothing related to you can be u
Edwin didn’t know why Janet had returned to the same sea beach, where they had always loved to come together.They have spent the best times of their life here and those memories were precious.But she didn’t remember their marriage, so there was no way she remembered that beach.But Edwin didn’t know a big surprise was waiting for him.When he got off the car it was already the time of sunset.He ran toward the beach as Janet’s location was showing there.After walking for a while, he noticed that familiar figure he was running after.She was standing there facing the sea and her beautiful long hair was flowing beautifully in the breeze.“Janet,” Edwin called, and Janet turned to look at him.Her face looked so peaceful, and when she turned completely, Edwin noticed she was holding a red bouquet in her hand.What was she doing here, Edwin was wondering, but looking at her Edwin was feeling a distinct feeling.She was looking at him like she used to do before.Before Edwin lost her, s
Edwin didn’t expect he would find Janet unconscious when he returned.He anxiously called the doctor and this time the matter looked serious.Janet’s condition was unstable, and the doctor advised to move her to the hospital.The doctor was confused as to why her health condition deteriorated so much when they were getting good results, but they could only try their best to cure her.Elisa was taking care of the children while Edwin was anxiously waiting for any good news.The doctor took a while to come out after checking Janet and Edwin knew the news wouldn’t be good.“Mr. Wilson, her vitals are good and everything looks normal, but it was like she went into a deep sleep. You can say she was in Comma, but it was not like there was anything wrong with her health, she was just unwilling to wake up,” The doctor's explanation was confusing.“What do you want to say? When would she wake up?” Edwin was only concerned about one thing.He wanted her Janet back, even if she never remembered
Janet was sitting with her children while they were playing on the living room floor and Edwin was doing something on his laptop.“Mommy, look we have made our house,” Erica showed her the makeshift house that she made with Lego.“Beautiful,” Janet said with a smile, though the house looked anything but house.“Dad, look,” Eric called Edwin to show him his house.Eric who was always ready to get appreciation from Edwin asked for Edwin’s confirmation.Erica was always the princess of Edwin and Janet, but Eric got connected with Edwin the most and always tried to ask his opinion on every tiny thing.Maybe it was the boy's things trying to connect with his father.“Nice, just you need to…” Edwin got up from his place and sat on the floor to help him renovate his house.Erica also ran toward him to get some help and Edwin helped her to make a pink house for her doll.Everything was so perfect yet Janet didn’t know why Edwin was still keeping his distance.Edwin returned to his work after
“Do you think he is impotent?” Janet asked and Elisa almost spitted her coffee out of shock.“What the hell? Where did this thought come from?” Elisa asked laughing, and Janet frowned.“Otherwise, why won’t he touch me?” Janet asked and Elisa couldn’t stop her laughing hearing her reason.Janet and Elisa were sitting in the Wilson group cafeteria and drinking coffee when Janet started this conversation.Edwin had brought Janet to his office as promised, and Elisa was giving her company as Edwin had an important meeting.“Though I hate this conversation, I can assure you he is not,” Elisa said and Janet was confused.“Why are you so sure?” Janet asked and Elisa sighed.“Janet, are you sure you need to discuss this matter only with me? He is my brother and I shouldn’t discuss his sexual life, at least. It’s so creepy,” Elisa said with disgust and Janet understood.This conversation must be making her uncomfortable.But Janet didn’t know who to talk with other than Elisa when this matter
One month later,Edwin was slowly getting back into his usual life.He was going to the office regularly and Eric and Erica had joined a school in Sydney.Everything was getting back to normal.Eric and Erica had gotten used to their life here and though they sometimes ask about William, they weren’t as much concerned as Edwin had thought they would be.Maybe they also think of him as a replaceable part of their life, which was a relief, because he would never compromise about this matter.William was a dark chapter in their life and he made sure he would never get a way back to their life.Edwin was trying hard so that they completely forgot that horrible person.Children’s memory is limited and someday maybe they would forget someone named William existed in their life.Janet was sitting on the bed while waiting for Edwin.It’s been more than a month since she had got consciousness.Though she didn’t remember about their marriage or anything about Edwin something was bothering Janet
Edwin was sitting in his office, and Ben entered with a file.“Did you get any news?” Edwin was impatiently waiting for any clue about William.He was still in Sydney because Edwin had blocked all the airports and the bus stops for him and unless the earth had engulfed him or the sky had hidden him, he couldn’t hide for long.“Yes, he was hiding in an old abandoned building. He thought we wouldn’t find him there,” Ben said with a scoff, and Edwin laughed mockingly.“He had underestimated our power. If we weren’t that ignorant, we would have found Janet early,” Edwin was so regretful about that.He thought Chesley wouldn’t keep Janet in the country, so they neglected this part, Janet could be anywhere nearby.Only if they have searched carefully.But William wasn’t lucky this time.“Our men have taken him to the warehouse, what do you want to do? Should I call the police and inform them of his whereabouts?” Ben asked, but Edwin wasn’t ready to show him mercy.He dared to touch Edwin’s
