Edwin returned to his office after a while and sat in his chair tiredly.He was exhausted mentally.His door opened and when he looked up to see who entered without his permission, he was surprised to see it was Janet.“Good morning,” Janet said timidly, but he didn’t reply as he couldn’t believe his eyes.First, he had kept her inside his house under guard; secondly; she avoided him after Edwin forcefully brought her back.So why would she be here?“Are... you avoiding me?” Janet asked when Edwin didn’t reply.“Huh…what are you doing here?” Edwin came out of his daze and replied curiously.“I wanted to talk,” Janet said nervously.Edwin didn’t know why she was there or what she wanted to talk about.But he decided to listen before he could sort out his point of view.“Come,” Edwin got up and walked toward her.He took her hand and gently made her sit on the couch. He was being too gentle like she would break if he touched her strongly.“Did you have your breakfast?” Edwin asked and p
“What?” Janet turned around and asked confusedly. She thought she must have misheard.Edwin walked toward her and stood in front of her. He held her hand and looked at her.“Let’s get married,” Edwin said, determined. Janet pulled her hand away anxiously.“You are talking rubbish. You will regret your decision later.” Janet didn’t want him to take this decision impulsively.It wasn’t a joke and even if it was, this was a horrible one.“I won’t. I have thought about this and I think this is the best decision.” Edwin said, and Janet didn’t understand why he was looking so determined.She couldn’t believe it.Only if she would have known him.Edwin wasn’t someone who would decide impulsively.He was thinking about this matter and after talking with her it was the outcome he came into.They love each other and want to stay together.Then why should they hesitate?This would not only solve this matter of their relationship it would secure the future of their child.He would disagree if the
When Edwin and Janet returned home, they were surprised.The house was decorated as a newlywed's house should look.It was Elisa who did this along with Ben.They found a gift box wrapped in the living room and Janet went to open it.It was a cake with the word ‘happy wedding’ written on it.She found a sticky note beside it and picked it out to read.“I know it wasn’t your first night, but still enjoy.” There was a wink emoji Elisa had drawn after that and Janet blushed reading that.She was going to crumple that paper, but Edwin took it from her.“Brat,” Edwin said after he read that, and there was a faint smile on his face.Their marriage was so sudden Edwin didn’t get time to prepare anything.But Elisa was thoughtful.Janet felt warm and fuzzy as everything was making her feel so special.She was still feeling like all these things were a beautiful dream and even if it was, she didn’t want to wake up.Edwin walked toward the kitchen and noticed Elisa had prepared dinner for them,
It’s been two weeks since Janet got married to Edwin.Though she was walking on eggshells at the beginning, when a week passed, she started settling back.She was getting used to her new life, no drama, no problems only peace.Edwin had become too caring, and she was surprised when Edwin bought so many books in child care, which can become a small library.And the most surprising thing was he was reading them, attentively, and making Janet read them too.Even now, when they retired to the bed, they were reading those books together.“Janet, are you having these symptoms?” Edwin showed her a picture and asked.Janet looked at the book and shook her head negatively.“Tell me if something like this happens. We will talk with the doctor,” Edwin said and Janet nodded.He was too considerate, and this thing was sometimes getting on her nerves.Like she was having a weird craving for food and every time she demanded to eat it, Edwin would open a book and check whether it was healthy for both
Edwin pulled her back to him and frowned at Jordan.“If you are hurt, why don’t you get someone for yourself?” Edwin said, frowning.Why would he feel guilty about being close to his wife? Let alone the fact Jordan spoiled their precious moment.It was rare for Janet to take the initiative.“Don’t dare to trap me too. I am happily enjoying my singlehood.” Jordan said, walking toward them.“Congratulations on your wedding, sister-in-law.” Jordan came forward to a handshake, but Edwin didn’t let Janet and walked inside and made her sit in the chair.“Jealous much,” Jordan commented, but Edwin ignored him.Jordan turned to join them and noticed Edwin was pouring a glass of juice for Janet.“I heard you are pregnant. Double congratulations.” Jordan said again and Janet nodded thankfully.“You know, Edwin and I have been together since childhood. If I hadn’t sacrificed myself ruining my reputation. Having girlfriends you know, he would be tagged as a gay,” Jordan said, which made Janet chok
Edwin was worried for Janet even though he had called Ben.Ben was busy with his other work and though he had already departed from there, it would take him more than an hour to reach Thunder.Last time when Edwin left Janet alone that incident happened and Edwin was still skeptical about leaving her alone as they were still in the way of mending their relationship.There was fear in his mind that Janet would leave him even though Janet was getting used to this lifestyle.That’s why he came to check her in the middle of his work.It would take longer for them to sort this matter and Edwin didn’t know if he could return home tonight.But when he entered Elisa was sitting there, and they were laughing happily.Janet was getting bored sitting alone, so she texted Elisa.If Elisa was done with her gathering, they could return together.Janet couldn’t meet her for a few days as after her marriage Elisa went abroad to attend her friend's wedding.So, she thought it would be good to spend som
Elisa was worried about how to face him.That’s why instead of using the printer in the office she walked outside Thunder.There was a convenience store nearby that gave printing services.She didn’t want to encounter those things that happened to her that night.She had already suffered her punishment for liking the wrong person.Jordan can be a good friend and there would be no such loyal friend in the world.But he could never be someone’s lover.That was something he wasn’t meant for.Elisa was a fool to think she loved him, but her bubble of misconception broke that night.The difference was it didn’t break like a bubble it broke like a glass which cut her too.When she was done, she stapled those papers and walked out.“Maybe I couldn’t avoid him tonight,” Elisa said with a sigh and walked inside.Thunder was a place she was familiar with.She had hosted different parties, and group gatherings and celebrated different occasions here.So, she easily found the place where its offic
“What do you think I am? A stupid, brainless fool? You can feed me with your stupid lies and I will believe you?” Jordan laughed, mockingly.His proud smirk was something Ben hated the most.He was getting on his nerves, so he continued his act.“Why do you think I would lie?” Ben asked, and his confidence made Jordan’s smirk wipe off his face.“We have been living together since she broke her leg. Why would I live with a stranger if we are not in a relationship?” Ben said and this time Jordan couldn’t hold his place.Ben was looking so confident that Jordan’s demeanor faltered.“Are you two really dating?” Jordan asked, looking at Elisa.“Does Edwin know about this?” Jordan asked and Elisa was feeling nervous now.As long as this lie stays between them, it wouldn’t be a problem.She didn’t want to involve Edwin in this mess.Not only would their lie be exposed, but it would also become complete chaos.“Whom we will tell about our relationship was our personal matter. I hope you won't
“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
