“Don’t behave like a hooligan,” Janet mumbled, and Edwin snickered.“Hooligan?” Edwin asked.“Didn’t I say I don’t want you to come close to me?” Janet asked.“But you fell on me,” Edwin countered, making Janet irked up.“You…” Janet was going to scold him, but she didn’t.They were silently sitting and looking at the TV, which was turned off long back.“Why did you do this all the time?” Janet asked and Edwin turned his face toward her but Janet wasn’t looking at him.“As much as I want to stay away from you, you don’t let me.” Janet slowly said, but her words held accusation.She was annoyed at how much Edwin affected her still, she couldn’t do anything about this.She was getting sucked in him and like he was a black hole pulling her toward him and she could do nothing to ignore this pull.“Why do you want to stay away? Did you never feel the emotions between us?” Edwin asked finally.He was confused as to why she wanted to stay away when Edwin could see he affected her as much as
Next morning,When Janet woke up, she found herself sleeping peacefully in her bed.She had no memory of the conversation she had with Edwin, so she didn’t know she had almost confessed her love to him.Moreover, she forgot all the secrets that she was hiding inside her heart were exposed.She walked inside the bathroom to freshen up as usual.In the dining room,Elisa was sitting holding her plate as she was hungry.“How long, Edwin?” Elisa yelled, and Edwin just rolled his eyes and concentrated on his cooking.It’s been so long since they were having breakfast like this.They used to do it when their parents used to go out on business trips.Elisa has always been a pampered child and Edwin used to make her breakfast before they got ready for school and college, respectively.“Don’t yell like you are starving from eon,” Edwin said and Elisa struck her spoon on the plate.“I am. My stomach has been protesting since last night.” Elisa argued, and Edwin just chuckled.“Why? Didn’t you h
Edwin took Elisa to the Wilson residence as she complained she was getting bored living alone.Edwin was busy with his office work and he found her demand reasonable.When Edwin entered, Lara was delighted.She excitedly ordered the butler to prepare dinner for them and though Edwin wasn’t ready to stay, she couldn’t disappoint her.Edwin thought of meeting Edward as he had nothing to do with these ladies.“He is sitting inside his study,” Lara informed Edwin and busied herself with Elisa.When Edwin walked upstairs, Lara carefully confirmed he wasn’t listening to their conversation and pulled Elisa toward the living room and sat closer.“Grandma, what happened?” Elisa couldn’t guess her sneaky behavior and asked.“You tell me what’s happening between Edwin and that girl, what’s her name… Janet.” Lara said, remembering.“You must have mistaken. Nothing is going on between them. Janet is my friend,” Elisa said hurriedly, looking elsewhere trying to break eye contact with her.She had gu
Janet wasn’t feeling well today. Still, she was going to visit Rim as she was missing her.Edwin had taken Elisa to the Wilson residence, and they were probably staying there for the meal.Elisa had now slightly recovered, but the bandage needed to be kept for a few days so she was still bound to using a wheelchair.Janet didn’t mind taking care of her, but she had to leave for her office every day and Elisa would feel bored sitting alone all day.So, she thought Elisa had made a better decision to stay a few days at the Wilson residence.Janet was taking the elevator when she was feeling dizzy.She thought it must be because of the elevator, but when she got off the elevator, nausea hit her and everything blurred in front of her.Before she could balance, she fainted.When Janet woke up, she was in the emergency room.Noticing her awake, the nurse came forward.“How are you feeling? You fainted in the corridor.” The nurse informed her.“I was suddenly feeling dizzy and then everythin
Janet couldn’t sleep peacefully the entire night.She was having nightmares about various things.Like, her mother got to know everything, and she again fell into a coma.Edwin got to know about the pregnancy and forced her into abortion.Chesley got to know about the pregnancy and tried to kill her and her child.Edwin got to know about the pregnancy and locked her inside his villa. When she gave birth, he snatched the child away and Chesley was holding her child and laughing like a maniac.Every dream of her made her restless the entire night.When she woke up with this black dark circle, Rebecca only felt distressed.“Didn’t you sleep last night?” she couldn’t help herself from asking. “I did, maybe I wasn’t used to sleeping here,” Janet said and Rebecca just shook her head disappointed.“You are sleeping in this bed all your life, Nothing changed.” Rebecca caught her lies and Janet ate her food silently.“Get ready, we are going somewhere,” Rebecca informed while picking up the d
“Careful,” Janet heard Edwin say and moved away from him hurriedly.“Are you OK?” Edwin asked, and Janet nodded timidly.She wasn’t ready to face Edwin yet, but what could she do when he took the initiative to come to her?“I am fine,” Janet said, looking downward toward the floor.“Where are you looking at? Can’t walk properly?” Edwin said in a scolding tone.He was concerned she would hurt herself.He came to find out why she didn’t return home last night.He thought she was disturbed, so she stayed with Rebecca, but when he didn’t find her in the office, he was worried.He called Elisa took Rebecca’s address and ended up here.“I didn’t notice,” Janet replied slowly and Edwin exhaled annoyed.“Where are you coming from?” Edwin asked.“Went to see the doctor,” Janet replied genuinely.“Are you feeling sick? Why do you need a doctor?” Edwin was worried.He had noticed her vomiting a few times at his home. He thought she must be having some general issues. If she needed a doctor, it mu
After reaching her room, Janet silently closed her door and walked to the balcony.She called Rebecca, and the angry young girl received it with a scolding.“If you again come to me crying after spending some day with that asshole, I’m sure I would kill you.” Rebecca couldn’t hold her rage anymore.Why this girl doesn’t think about herself?Now she had to think about this new trouble when all the troubles in her life were getting never-ending.“I swear I haven’t taken this decision impulsively,” Janet said, and Rebecca wasn’t ready to believe it.She knew how much this girl loved that man, though he never deserved her love.“Then what it is if it’s not an impulsive decision?” Rebecca asked.“Rebecca, listen to me, and don’t be angry,” Janet said and Rebecca stayed silent.“I want this, with or without Edwin,” Janet said, caressing her stomach. She was confident about this.This is her child, and she would keep it anyhow.Her decision wouldn’t change.The connection she was feeling wit
Janet and Rebecca were sitting in the cafe and Rebecca ordered a coffee while Janet ordered an orange juice, as the doctor had advised her to avoid caffeine.“So, tell me your plan.” Rebecca directly got into the business.“I want to leave the country, Rebecca,” Janet said and Rebecca was surprised.“Are you sure?” Rebecca didn’t expect her decision to be that serious.It was too sudden for her to digest.“Yeah, I have thought about it, I can’t get out of Edwin’s grasp if I stay here,” Janet said, and Rebecca understood her concern.“Did you try to talk with Edwin? What if he agrees?” Rebecca asked concerned.“And take a chance to lose my baby? What if he agrees? He was still engaged to that girl. What I would be in his life? And what about my child?” Janet asked and Rebecca inhaled.She knew it wouldn’t be acceptable for Janet anyhow.She wouldn’t live like his mistress and ruin his family even though her situation is different.In her life, Chesley was someone who was ruining their
