Janet was coming out of the supermarket, holding a few bags.She had bought some new clothes and necessary products for her mom.Rim didn’t need them before, as she was bedridden, but now Rim could move around.Janet didn’t want to let Rim feel like she was living in a hospital room, helpless and sick.She wanted to make her feel as comfortable as possible.That’s why Janet had also bought some things to decorate her hospital room.But on the way to the hospital, she didn’t expect to meet someone unwanted.“Miss Brown? What a pleasant surprise?” Janet heard and noticed someone blocking her way, and when she locked up, she was perplexed.“Mr. Poole!” Janet said anxiously, her hold on the bag loosened and her belongings went scattered in the road.“Shit,” Jordan said and bent to pick them up but Janet didn’t want him to.“I can manage,” Janet tried to pick up everything and put them inside her bag, but her trembling hand only messed up everything.When Jordan went to put the things he pi
Janet fell into deep thought upon hearing Jordan’s words.She was slightly scared, knowing Edwin wouldn’t let her leave unless he wanted.The only way for her to get away from Edwin would be possible if he got bored with her presence, which didn’t look possible in the near future.But there was a hope in his word that Janet wanted to believe.He wanted him to care for her, and make her feel wanted, they lived together peacefully without caring about the future.But if she wanted this to continue she didn’t know what would happen in the future.Was she ready to gamble with her life again?One gamble already did damage to her soul. Can she afford another disaster?Jordan had dropped Janet at the hospital after their brief meeting, and Janet didn’t expect Elisa to drop there again.But the way she was coming here constantly Janet felt something different.There was no planning, no masked motive, it felt like Elisa was enjoying Rim’s company.Though Janet wasn’t ready to share her mother
After Edwin dropped Elisa, she was walking around aimlessly, when she noticed a familiar figure. It looked like Jordan.He looked drunk, and a girl was helping him to get into his car.The girl looked like a slut as she was dressing up to seduce men and this made Elisa angry.She walked hurriedly and pushed the girl away from him.“What are you doing?” the girl asked angrily, but without giving her any time to talk, Elisa slapped the girl hard, making her stagger on her heels and fall to the ground.“What am I doing? What you are doing?” Elisa asked angrily, holding the girl’s hair in a tight grip.“Leave me,” The girl was struggling, but Elisa wasn’t thinking sanely.“You shameless bitch, trying to seduce rich man. You deserve this beating.” Elisa was going to give her another slap when her hand got held by Jordan.“Leave her, Elisa,” Jordan said angrily.“Brother, you don’t know these girls. How dare they seduce you!” Elisa was struggling to free her hand, but Jordan pushed her away.
Janet didn’t think Edwin would follow her to her room even after her strict denial.But Edwin wasn’t ready to let her go this time.He was already impatiently waiting when Janet would return, but now, when she had returned, he didn’t want her to stay indifferent.Edwin stopped in her doorway and when Janet went to close the door, he didn’t let her.“Didn’t I make myself clear?” Janet was getting frustrated with his constant pestering.“You did, but I want to make everything clear, too,” Edwin said and Janet huffed annoyed.“Say it,” Janet knew he was stubborn as hell and He wouldn’t let her live in peace until he got what he wanted.“Janet, Chesley, and I… there is nothing between us. It’s just an arranged thing my grandparents have decided. I don’t agree.” Edwin said, and Janet had already known it from Elisa.“But that doesn’t change anything. In front of everyone, she was still your fiancé.” Janet said, and Edwin sighed.Yes, she was. But he needed time to fix it.Why didn’t Janet
Edwin wasn’t expecting Chesley to behave so audaciously even after his warning.But when Ben informed him what happened outside Edwin’s office Edwin was fuming with anger.“Where is she?” Edwin asked.“I told him to visit the hospital, her bruise was looking horrible,” Ben said sadly and Edwin rubbed his head frustrated.He should have gone with him, but he wasn’t sure whether she would like to see his face.Every event surrounding them only contributed to affecting their relationship.Edwin had no idea how to bring them back like the time they were spending before all this mess started.After the office, Ben returned home and went to check on Elisa.But when he entered, he noticed she was trying to get off the Ben but failing miserably.Her leg was bandaged, so it wasn’t convenient for her to get off the bed.“What are you doing?” Ben walked hurriedly and held her, making her sit on the bed.“I can’t,” Elisa said with a pained expression.“Elisa, don’t be stubborn. The doctor had adv
When Edwin returned home, Janet wasn’t back, it was already 10 at night, so maybe she wouldn’t return.Thinking this, Edwin decided to retire in his room.Today’s work was hectic. He had to meet some business associates during dinner, as they had a flight the next morning.The meeting was so boring and he couldn’t concentrate as his mind was occupied with Janet’s thoughts.He knew Chesley’s misbehavior would have consequences, and he didn’t want to suffer anymore for someone else’s mistake.He wanted to settle this matter as early as possible, but she couldn’t do it before Sunday.This week his schedule was too packed even for him to breathe, let alone take a tour of the Wilson residence.Before going to bed, he noticed the jug in his room was empty and came to fill it when he noticed someone entering the house.He waited in the dark and then noticed a haggard-looking person entering the house.He could say even in the dark it was Janet.Edwin looked at the clock, and it was midnight.
Lara was embarrassed hearing Edwin’s words.Chesley was his fiancé why did he say he didn’t want to join because of outsiders?But she noticed Chesley didn’t mind, so she didn’t meddle on this topic.At night when they retired to bed, she slowly scooted toward Edward and he took her in his arm habitually.“Edward, what’s happening with Edwin?” Lara asked, placing her face on his chest.Edward didn’t want to inform Lara about this matter, but his closeness with Chesley was affecting Edwin’s relationship with them.They couldn’t ignore his feelings because of some outsiders.“I think you should stay away from Chesley,” Edward said and Lara looked up confused.“Chesley is Edwin’s fiancé, our future daughter-in-law.” Lara didn’t understand his words.He looked dissatisfied with her behavior.“Lara, you wanted to announce this engagement, so I didn’t stop you. But you should have asked Edwin beforehand.” Edward said and Lara sat up and looked at him dissatisfied.“don’t you know his charac
In these months, Edwin had allowed none of his relatives to visit here. Even Elisa never came here to disturb them before that party.but in these few days, first Chesley and then Lara.last time, she introduced herself as Edwin’s secretary in front of Chesley.But what would she say to Lara about her? A secretary would never step inside the kitchen and work like the lady of the house.Before she didn’t think about it as it was Edwin’s demand and according to the contract she had to fulfill it.And she preferred home cook meals rather than those expensive takeout which weren’t worth of money.But she didn’t want to face Lara’s questions. She didn’t want Lara to think she was some cheap whore.“Grandma, what are you doing here?” Elisa asked stuttering and even she also looked at Janet.Ben wasn’t sure what the situation would happen when Lara noticed Janet, but how these two stupid siblings were looking at Janet Lara would notice her without effort.They were behaving like a child who
“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
