CHAPTER FIFTY
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Jordan had thought that things were going to get better from the moment JoJo's impossibly blue eyes opened again to look into his, but he wasn't so sure now.
His fingers struck he keys of his system with bottled in anger and frustration.
He was trying to go through the work load that had piled up over the week and it was somehow more difficult since he was doing that out of his study, at home.
In this last week, he's become a terror to work with and he'd had almost half his staffs trying to quit their job because of him, and that's why he's working from home for the mean time.
He needed to clear his head and get his head back in his game, but doing that was even more difficult than he'd thought.
Because his problem wasn't him.
Ever since she's been discharged from the hospital and was brought home, JoJo has been slipping away from him and knowing that was fuc

Officer Lucas!The fucking spineless weasel!Why the fuck had he asked her to show up at that fucking cafe out of the lot that dotted the city?It made no sense except that he'd known those guys were going to show up there and he'd been setting her up for them.The thought enraged him and made him want to hit something, someone, maybe the cunning cop himself.It was the early hours of the morning but Jordan couldn't wait to talk to Brad.He quietly left the room after JoJo finally fell into a quiet sleep.He'd wanted to lie there with her, hold her and savor the feel of her small body curled in his once again, but he couldn't.Not with what he suspected.He went to his room to grab his phones and then went back downstairs to make his call.He didn't want to disturb Riley's sleep, hence the decision to head back down

Ever since that night, morning, whatever, that JoJo had let her insecurities get the best of her, Jordan has been a little distant.She'd believed his words that night because she'd known he'd meant them, it was there in his eyes and very hard to miss.But now, she wondered if she hadn't perhaps misread something in there.It worried her that he hasn't even tried to touch her in any intimate way since the ugly incident she was still trying to get over.And it's been over a week now.Even that night, he'd only kissed her, and that was because she had asked him.He didn't even try to go any further like he would have before the incident.He had just held her like she was some fragile porcelain and she didn't like it.She is anything but fragile and she didn't want to be held, she wanted to be loved by him and she wanted to have him worship her body in

For all of JoJo's troubles, she didn't even know when Jordan came in.She was too lost, trying to piece all the impossible information her brain has been throwing at her since that single call.It probably was nothing and just a mere coincidence but the thoughts and questions weren't going away.But when she made her way back down stairs for dinner, all thought of the call disappeared immediately.First off, a freshly showered Jordan was seated at the head of the table in all his gorgeous glory, his shirt opened half way down to tease her.And second, dinner was set different.She knew it had everything to do with Brooks and her knowledge of her plans for tonight because even Riley was missing from the living room and it was time for her favorite animation.Her cheeks pinked as she watched Jordan stand to pull a seat for her.

'Making love.'That's the most beautiful way anybody has ever put it for her before.And even when he flipped them, taking over her own game, the words swam in her head, filling her with love for him.Did he realise what that meant to her?"Don't leave me now."He whispered, his voice jolting her out of her thoughts.His lips brushed and then drew her earlobe into his mouth and suckling on it, just like she'd done his."But I'm right here, with you." She whimpered, loving the way he way loving on her.He bit down on her earlobe and then eased the small pain with the sweet circling and hungry pressure of his tongue."You are thinking too much, stay with me baby."He didn't give her a chance to answer as his mouth closed over hers.All the power in this game

'I love you.'Those three powerful words hung thick in the air between them and their exhausted body.And it wasn't because Jordan didn't reciprocate the feeling or anything, he was just too shocked to hear the confession.The woman of his dreams just told him that she loves him, of course he was over the moon level of happy.He hadn't seen that coming though, but he's waited so long to hear those exact words fall from her lips.He loved her too, more than she could ever imagine but knowing that he was keeping secrets from her glued his tongue to the floor of his mouth and kept him from saying anything.She was watching him, he knew and not saying anything at all was giving her every wrong idea in the book, he could see it in her eyes.He watched her lids drop to shut those beautiful aqua pools from him for a full second and when they opened back, there was somethin

That night lay thick between them and they both knew it.Unlike he'd expected, JoJo wasn't angry or trying to avoid him or shit like that.She still welcomes him with a kiss and smiled at him, she still let him touch her, but there was a difference now and he felt like an ass knowing he was the reason it was there in the first place.He'd killed the sweet, addictive warmth that came with her kisses, promising that this was more than just mere meeting of lips.Now when they kiss, it wasn't the same.Her beautiful aqua eyes were always blank now and she somehow kept him out of her head.It was frustrating not knowing what was going on in that pretty head of hers, but it was worse seeing the emptiness in those aqua blues that were her eyes.And then there was that call from Zayn.His father, was in the hospital, battling

Fayre didn't like the impenetrable blank look that sat dominantly on Jordan's face.But she knew she had him right where she wanted him and it excited her.It was there in his voice, slightly, but she knew it.He cared too much about that two cents worth personal assistant of his to let her waltz over there to her desk and break his golden secret to her.The joy it'd bring her to watch that face scrunch up in hurt and pain.She was sure the little, naive thing knew nothing and she intended to keep it that way, but first, she wanted Jordan in her clutch."What the fuck do you want!?"That anger and frustration she craved was becoming more obvious in his tight voice and she wondered just how much longer she could pull before he snapped.She didn't push her luck though, this opportunity was too golden to pass.The man was a fucking gol

“Why aren't you home yet?”Zayn cold voice carried through the line, burning through him.Why wasn't he home yet?Yes, it was because he hadn't coughed up enough balls to spill his guts to the one person who deserved it the most.And now shit was getting more complicated with Fayre back in the picture.“Can you hear me Jordan?”Of course he could, just to messed up to say shit right now.“Yeah.”“Father hasn't come conscious since they operated on him, the doctors say that having you guys around him might be what he needs to jolt out of it..........”He doubted that, but of course he planned to go for him.“Malik can't say if he can make it back and that asshole is a fucking medic, you are my only option now.”

Hailey stood in front of the whole family, her seven year old palms sweaty. She'd spent the whole night reciting this all over again, so it shouldn't be a big deal, yeah? "It's okay, baby, it's just us." Jojo whispered from her seat, her very pregnant belly making her movement strenuous. Yeah, just them. Well, here goes nothing. "Uhhmm, this is my family tree....." She started a little shyly, pointing to the treelike structure balanced on the table next to her, stuck full of pictures. Her voice was so small, but it carried around the room. "I made it myself, well, mummy helped.....a lot. And I'm taking it to school for show and tell on Monday." She could see her daddy giving her an encouraging thumbs up and it put the light into her eyes and confidence in her voice. "From the top, this is Granny Meghan and Grandpa Tommy who I didn't get to meet and they gave birth to my mommy and Riley. Too bad they died b

If JoJo had thought her life was a mess, the truth she'd just discovered crashed if past the grounds, it shattered every truth she's ever known and believed. Uncle Fer....... Fucking Ferdinand! That monster. He'd been the architect of a her pain and problem but he'd always crawled back to blow on them and make it seem like he'd cared. And to find out that he'd been her sperm donor, it killed her to believe it. Jordan was as struck as she was from what they'd read. She ached for her mother too, who'd had to live with all these for years, having no one to be by her side while she played sick and lost in a bid to protect her girls. It must have been hard, being in bed all year round, reliving the nightmares of both events and hating herself for being so weak. She swore she'd be stronger, for herself and Riley and they'd bring the man to Justice, for her mom. But I like her mom, she had Jordan by her side in these t

Jocelyn,Been so long I said your name, guess this might be last you'd hear me call you by your name.So many years have passed and sometimes I lie here, in bed and regret the decisions I made in the past.But I'll always hope you realise it was all for the best, I did what I did to keep you and your sister alive and out of the clutches of the devil, Ferdinand.The man is a devil that shouldn't have found his way into our lives, but he did and till date, we are all still suffering in the wake of all his evil deeds.Tommy, your father, bless his soul, was a good man, the best ever.I met them both while in college and yeah, Ferdinand asked to court me first, but my heart had been longing for another and I'd turned him down.Turns out that was a sin he couldn't forgive.

"No, that can't be." Jojo muttered in disgust as she watched the video playing out before her.There's no way this is true, no way it's him.It'd kill her to believe it was and see just how blind she's been all these years, to find out that her mom had been right all along......God, no.But her denial didn't bring any desired difference to what she'd seen, it didn't wipe the memory or make the video a prank.This had been the night she'd lost her father, this had been where his body had been found, there's no mistaking it, she'd never forgotten.It took Jordan rubbing down her back and asking her in a concerned voice to breathe, to realise she'd been holding her breath.Maybe if she holds it in long enough, she'd realise that all this is just a dream home wrong.Or maybe it wasn't and she was just in a hopeless denial."Please Jordan, tell me it's not him, tell me that's not Uncle Ferdie, I'll believe you."She sob

After Riley was fed and out with her very own little family, Alfie and puppy, JoJo got to work searching for that little box.It was one thing to loose her mother so unexpectedly, but to loose the last trace of evidence and her only hope to bringing whoever had been behind her decade old pain to justice?No fucking way!She turned the room they'd been in inside out in her search, but it was nowhere to be found.She was already halfway done with fixing it back up when it did occur to her that she'd last seen the box while lying in that bed with Jordan.It made a lot of sense to think that he had gone missing from the room at the same time her box had and that easily translates to it possibly being in his possession.It kinda pissed her to have him butting into her family issues without her permission, even without the confirmation that he had.Stupid, yeah, but it did embarrassment to have all her linens in his hands without any contro

JoJo woke before Riley did, there'd been nightmares that didn't let her hold onto the oblivion for too long. She was glad Riley wasn't subjected to the same fate though that didn't hold for long. Tiny feet and big, soulful brown eyes found her sooner than she'd have liked, clouded with visible confusion and fear. "Come here, baby girl." She called to her from where she stood at the door. It did just occur to her why the room looked emptier than she last remembered it. Jordan had been with her before she'd succumbed to the luring hands of sleep. "Come." Her voice was much softer, pleading and beckoning, she didn't want force her, that could be more harmful than it'd be good. The younger girl finally gave in, and came into the room, crawling into JoJo's laps. She held her, stroking her hair, the quietness that was hanging around the house making her nauseous. Maybe it's always been this quiet with

The twist got bigger the deeper he dug and the plot hole wider.There'd been a lot going on with Tom Collen and Ferdinand and the more he discovered, the clearer it got and the more his theory on Tom's murder held.The files on the card were too many to peruse at one go so he abandoned it for the line card he'd inserted to read.At first there seemed to be nothing of interest in it until he stumbled upon a video record.It looked to be from a security camera recording from long ago.He sat in his chair, watching it and wishing he didn't have to.It made it worse that this was what he'd have to show JoJo, the horror she'd have to see.If only he could save her this, the pain and the nightmare.She didn't deserve it, not do soon, not with everything she was dealing with.He dialed Brad instead, requesting for immediate audience.They've become an investigative team of their own after all,bent on riding the world of

She finally fell asleep, right in Jordan's arms, drained from all the tears she'd cried and all the grief she'd let herself become buried under.He understood her pain, he'd seen it, experienced it and it was nothing to joke about.And he'd give anything in a heartbeat to take it away from her, to see her face light up with one of those her beautiful smiles that always made his day.These times have been the hardest and this crown looks too heavy for the head wearing it.But one thing he was sure of was that he was going no where, he'd be her, by her side until it gets better and even then, there'd be no force strong enough to remove him from her life.He loves her more than he'd ever imagined he could love anyone, his baby girl, his JoJo.She looked calmed while she slept, a tad bit relaxed, better than she'd been when she'd been up and grieving.He leaned down, pressing his lips to her forehead in a gentle, tender kiss.Her g

Meghan's passing was a blow nobody expected, and everyone was taking it hard around the house, especially JoJo.She'd never expected this day to come so soon and now that it did, it did hit hard.She'd been do lost, but Jordan had been there every step of the way, taking charge and getting the body to the morgue.At least that's where she believes they went.She'd let herself get sucked into shadowing Riley and crying her soul out.Riley was asleep now, having cried herself to it, and now JoJo had time on her hands to mourn.She had the watch she'd recently just retrieved, fiddling with it and wondering what she's supposed to do with the damn thing without Meghan to give her a guide.The door to the room came open and Jordan stood at the door.She wasn't expecting him to be back so soon.She could see the pity swimming in his eyes even before he took steps closer in her direction.He was careful not to wake
