Chapter 26A year passed by so quickly and Janette barely contain the joy in her heart. She enjoyed seeing all her family together; she didn’t realize how much she’d missed them, especially her mother. Her eyes gazed at her parents as they engrossed themselves in a chitchat over the luncheon table. Although she wasn’t expecting that her parents would travel all the way from New York to see her three months old baby but she was glad they came. All thanks to Danielle and Jackson. They really got her by surprise; they’re the reason she now has her family and friend seated next to her with happiness on their faces. Tears of joy filled her eyes. She longed to cover her face and weep at the wonder of Jackson’s and Danielle’s king and caring gesture towards her. Danielle glanced at Janette, wondering what’s running through her mind. Curious to know the reason for Janette’s quietness, she moved her head closer to her ears and whispered; “what are you thinking about Sunshine?” She looked at he
Chapter 27“I can’t believe we’re doing this.” Janette muttered as they walked through the long hallway. “Me too. But why haven’t you told Danielle and Jackson yet? I thought the plan was to tell them.” Margaret said and tilted her head to glance at Janette, who had her hands tucked in her jacket pockets. Glancing at her friend, she drew a ragged breath and removed her right hand from her pockets to scratch her head. “I’m afraid they might not agree. I just thought to surprise them; if Sol and Rebecca arrived, they won’t have a choice than to let them stay.” Janette wasn’t sure of what she was doing. Perhaps agreeing to Margaret’s idea to allow Solomon to stay with them was a bad idea. Her eyes shifted all around with nervousness. “Perhaps you are right, I’m sorry Jan, I shouldn’t have invited them.” Margaret said slowly as they strode into the elevator. After Janette pressed the button, she moved back to stand beside her friend, tilting her head to look at her; “it’s fine. Sol is you
Chapter 28A chill shivered through Danielle at the two figures before her. She doesn’t even know how to react; anger written all over her face. It was a terrible thing to think that her wife had a weak moral character, perhaps that these was the reason she invited him to their home. She took a calm breath and finally blurted out her anger. “You brought him into our home just to be locking lips with him?” Janette lowered her head in shame. Her mother tried to earn her before telling her to discharge Sol before he ruined her home. “I don’t like him here, his presence might bring you problem with your family,” she had said. I should have listened to her. Janette secretly scolded herself. Danielle turned around and wobbled her way out of the kitchen with a broken heart. “Babe! Danielle!” Janette ran after her, hoping she would give her the chance to explain herself. What she saw wasn’t actually what happened. If only she can just listen to her. But what if Danielle never walked into the
Chapter 29For the past five months, things have been moving glamorously to the Jacksons and their love has blossomed. But Danielle has been feeling nausea and sick for two days straight, Every time she tries to eat something she would end up vomiting, Janette had never seen Danielle looking so weak and helpless, she knows her to be a woman full of strength and courage. She stared at her helplessly after Jackson had excused himself from the room. Leaping out of bed in panic, she went straight to the sitting room and met Jackson, making calls. Janette tapped him and looked at him with a grim face. Seeing the look on her face, he ended the call and asked her. “What happened? Is she still vomiting?” Janette nodded in panic; “yes I’m afraid for her. Perhaps we should call the doctor.” She moaned, her skin turn ghostly pale and shaken that he wondered if she was sick too.Jackson called the doctor just as Janette had suggested before, following Janette back to the room where they found Dan
Chapter 30 Some months later, Jackson and Janette were left with great surprise after Doctor Nick told them that Danielle had given birth to a set of twins; a boy and a girl. Jackson could remember vividly the day he came to the hospital with Danielle for the sex of the baby and Doctor Nick said it was just one child, a baby boy precisely. With tears of joy and light heart, Janette majestically walked closer and stood before Jackson, wrapping her arms around his waist; “I still can’t believe it,” she murmured. Jackson hugged her tight, stroking her hair gently. He’s too excited to speak at the moment. “M-me too.” He struggled with his words. “The Doctor said we can see her now.” Janette reminded him. And slowly nuzzled her head away from his broad chest and took his hand. “Perhaps we should go now.” They walked all the way to Danielle’s hospital room, halting in front of the door. Janette turned to look at Jackson first. He slightly nodded, encouraging her to open the door. She slight
Chapter 31 By the time Danielle and Janette resume work, Jackson had opened another branch somewhere in Africa. Everything was going perfectly well, just as Janette wanted it, but there was only one thing still lingering in her mind, which is Scarlett and Michelle's secret relationship.Janette tried to stifle a yawn, but it was getting harder for her to keep her eyes open. “You should sleep, babe.” Jackson told Janette beside him and chuckled, seeing the tired look on her face. “Work was hectic today, I expose.” Danielle asked, giving Janette an affectionate path. Janette smiled. “Yes, the lady you assigned to help me around the office is quiet and energetic young woman; I had to plead with her to take a break.” She admitted. “Terribly! Don’t worry dear, with time you will get used to it,” she smiled again. It was pleasing to hear that sentimental and encouragement from Danielle and Jackson. Janette was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to work since she doesn’t have any experience or
Chapter 32 Michelle was left stump. Spotting Scarlett on the runway makes her have a tangling feeling in her stomach. How can someone be this beautiful? The minute Scarlett came forward and stood in her long fitted black gown with a long slit at the front exposing her thigh, Michelle couldn’t help but swallowed hard. She was captivated by the other woman’s beauty. Now she realized why Scarlett was one of the top model in Spain, everything about her scream beauty, Scarlett was the pure definition of a beauty and Michelle admire her greatly; she seemed rather transfixed, her eyes on Scarlett, who seem to be loving the attention from the millions of fans below her. After Scarlett disappeared into the long curtains separating the models from the audience, Michelle thought there was no need for her to remain there. Perhaps the other models do not interest her. She squeezed herself amidst the crowd and went to stand at the front of the room, which Michelle considered as the dressing room o
Chapter 33 Justin and Michelle each talked about the incredible and dignified family dinner that had just ended half an hour ago. Both said that the dinner was greatest thing they had done and Margaret herself couldn’t stop blabbing about her feelings seeing everyone around the long table, she speaks so highly of her friend Janette and how she made it possible for her to come to Spain and then met Justin. Seeing the priceless smile on Margaret’s face as the stroll down the long hallway to their bedroom Justin realized how much Margaret might have been waiting for this very day, perhaps he could organize more of family dinner just to make her keep that priceless and dazzling smile on her face. Justin did not put off the matter of Scarlett and Michelle for Very long. He realized that Scarlett and Michelle couldn’t keep their hands off each other throughout the dinner; he wondered if he was the only person who had noticed it. “My love!” He called out to Margaret, who was already seated o
