Chapter 30: Did you invite someone else?” What are you doing here? What am I even saying? I mean get out,” Sean said unceremoniously. Carmen bit her lip as she approached him slowly ” Sean why are you so cold towards me? What did I do wrong? Aunty has already planned our engagement party and I'm going to be your wife,” she whimpered softlySonny burst into laughter with his gaze still on his phone, he felt a piercing gaze from behind and he swiftly turned around only to find Sean glaring at him with daggers” Okay I will take my leave now,” He quickly slipped away. He didn't want to get into Sean and Carmen's saga. ” I don't know what nonsense you are talking about but just get one thing straight today. I Sean Wilson will not get married to you” he said in a domineering voice.” Please just stop it, you don't even care about how I'm feeling right now. I'm helplessly in love with you Sean. I'm begging you to give me a chance to prove it to you,” she said in between her tears. ” Ca
Chapter 31: You mean she doesn't look 24?Elena shook her head in denial ” No I didn't, I will go have a look,” she said as she got up and walked away. She checked through the peephole and chortled softly before upending the door knob.” Oh Mr Jones! What a wonderful surprise,” Elena smiled as she made way for him to come in.Jacob Jones chuckled sheepishly ” Long time no see Elena! Is Andrea in? ” he asked nonchalantly. ” Sure. Did you tell her you were coming tonight?” Elena simpered.Jacob shook his head ” No. I wanted it to be a surprise,” Elena gigled blithely ” I'm sure she will be very happy to see you,”she gave a half smile.They both walked into the free living room and Andrea rose to her feet immediately with a startled look on her face ” Mr Jones! Wow! You shouldn't have gone through the stress of flying down here. I would have appreciated a birthday wish from you,” she smiled politely.” Are you kidding me? It's no big deal flying to Australia for someone I care so much
Chapter 32: dirty lining you say?Elena stood up to go check but Jacob Jones stopped her immediately ” Don't worry, I will go check,” he said nonchalantly.He sauntered over to the door and pulled it open only to see a bunch of people standing at the door with grave expressions on their faces.” Who are you? ” he asked as he stared at them.” Lachlan, are you sure this is the right address? Rosette demanded angrily and Lachlan checked the sign on the door. ” Yes of course, this is number 27,” he said matter of fact.Lachlan turned back to Jacob Jones” young man I'm the one who is supposed to ask that question.. I'm here to see my daughter Andrea,” He widened his eyes in surprise” Oh! Are you Andrea's family? Sure come in,” he flashed a polite smile.Naomi's cheeks turned rosy as she stared at his face ” Mr Jones it's my honour meeting you. I'm a big fan of JJ entertainment,” she said excitedly, neglecting the issues at hand.Lachlan who had walked past them couldn't help but turn ar
Chapter 33: There are still two weeks leftSean ruffled his hair in frustration ever since he found out he was the father of Andrea's babies, he didn't feel good being far away from her. ” Jacob Jones must have gone mad. Andrea is pregnant with my kids and he's still trying to chase after her. I don't appreciate my enemy being around her before he yields her with his bad luck.I really need to do something,” he muttered as he tapped his finger on the desk.A thought popped out of his head. He picked up his cellphone and dashed out of his office. On his way out of the company, he came across his secretary ” Sir everyone is waiting for you at the boardroom,” she said as she lowered her gaze to the ground.” Tell everyone the meeting has been rescheduled for another day and next time don't stand so close to me that's if you will last here,” he said in an icy tone.She gulped down her saliva hardly ” Yes sir. I'm so sorry sir,” she said as she watched him stride out of the building.Sean
Chapter 34: Don't you think they make a powerful couple?GREEN HILL HOSPITALElena held onto Andrea's hand as she was pushed into the delivery room. "Andrea, you don't have to be scared. You will be fine, okay? I will give your Aunt a call now," she said, and Andrea nodded in pain."Doctor Paula, I will leave you in the care of my friend," Elena said.Doctor Paula nodded. "I will do my best, Elena," she said before walking into the room.Elena brought out Andrea's phone from her handbag, and just then Nurse Alexa rushed to the direction of the delivery room and met her by the door."Head nurse, I heard Andrea is in the delivery room," Elena raised her head from the phone screen and back to Nurse Alexa."Yes, I was the one who brought her here. Are you going in also?" She asked as she noticed the way she was dressed.Alexa nodded. "Yes, Doctor Paula asked me to assist her. I need to go in now," Elena sat on the bench outside the ward with a loud sigh. She quickly dialled Mom Tessa's nu
Chapter 35: How are Andrea and the Babies? Sean sneered as he looked around the huge hotel.” How is that even possible? Look it's okay even if the room is as tiny as a hole,” ” Sorry sir, there's nothing we can do to help unless you share your presidential suite with her,” the lady said. ” Of course not. I guess we will have to look for another hotel nearby,” Sean passed the card back to her. ” I don't think that's a good idea, Sir. Unfortunately, there are no hotels close by and that's why the rooms are fully booked,” Sean rubbed his temples ” I can't share my room with this woman. I don't care about the distance. I just want to get far away from her,” Carmen's eyes began to tear up. She took in a sharp breath ” I'm afraid we can't do that right now. Uncle's appointment is less than an hour from now,” she reminded him. Sean pressed his lips in annoyance before reluctantly picking up the card he had dropped on the counter awhile ago. Carmen smiled secretly as she follow
Chapter 36: Don't you miss the taste of my lips? GREEN HILL HOSPITAL"Why is Andrea looking like that?" Jacob Jones inquired with a slight smile."Just ignore her," Elena said nonchalantly."I will tell you why I am angry, Mr. Jones. Have a good look at the babies," Andrea crossed her arms over her chest.Jacob looked at Pearl in his arms and then Ruby in Elena's arms. "What's wrong with them?" he asked in confusion."What Andrea means is that both Ruby and Pearl don't look like her," Elena burst into laughter."Then I guess they look like their father," Jacob also chuckled.Andrea huffed angrily. "I'm done talking with the both of you. I will get some rest now," she turned her back to them."Come on Andrea, I'm sorry. Don't get mad at me, okay?""It's fine. I'm just tired," Andrea mumbled slowly."Yeah, you should probably get some rest. I will come check up on you later," he handed Pearl back to Elena before leaving.*********Carmen gently took off her bathrobe and slowly got into
Chapter 37: What are the babies gender?Sean felt a weight pressing him down. He turned his head and found Carmen sleeping next to him, her head on his chest.Sean gritted his teeth in anger and tapped her furiously. "Carmen! Wake up!"Carmen made gurgling sounds before opening her eyes. "Sean!" she called out to him in a muffled tone."How dare you get on my bed! Haven't we talked about this?" Sean glared at her.Carmen swallowed hard as tears shone in her eyes. "Sean, last night you..." she paused and began to whimper.Sean's expression closed up immediately. "What happened last night?" At this point, he glanced at his bare chest and noticed he wasn't wearing anything underneath the duvet.His heart began to accelerate, hoping it wasn't what he was thinking. "Speak up!" he yelled impatiently."Sean, last... last night you came back to the room drunk, and I helped you to your bed, and then you pounced on me. I tried to fight my way, but I couldn't match up to you," she palmed her mou
At the crescent wood residence, the garden was dashingly decorated for the sip and see party of Sean and Andrea's son, where friends and family gathered to welcome the baby. Andrea was dressed in matching blue outfits with her son, while the twins matched with Sean. The smiles on their faces were evident and blissful. Andrea climbed the stage with her son in her arms; he was the exact replica of herself, with black hair and green emerald eyes, just like hers.Sean was jealous at first, but thought it was fair since the twins looked exactly like him. Andrea stepped up to the microphone, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted it to her height. The air was thick with anticipation. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves, and began to speak."Good day, everyone," she said, her voice steady but laced with emotion. "First and foremost, I'd like to thank each and every one of you present for standing by me, Sean, and the kids during our hard times. It means a lot to us that
The doctor transferred Andrea to the VIP ward as per Sean's instructions, where she lay motionless on the bed, her porcelain skin looking like alabaster and her chapped lips a faint reminder of her struggles. The soft hum of machines and the gentle beeps of monitors surrounded her, a stark contrast to the chaos that had erupted just days ago.Sean sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her face as he held her hand tightly. It had been two long days since she'd last opened her eyes, and the uncertainty was eating away at him. "It's a brand new day, baby," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "Won't you open your eyes for me?"As he spoke, his phone vibrated in his pocket, breaking the silence. He reluctantly released Andrea's hand and rose from the stool, his gaze lingering on her pale face, before he stepped out into the hospital corridor."Boss, I've arrived at the hospital," his assistant, Drew, said over the phone. "But I can't seem to find you—did I misremember your instructions?"Se
"Actually, I don't think that's a really good idea?" " Are you scared that I might make a move on you? Come on, I won't touch you without your consent Lena, I promise" That was the last thing Jacob would ever do after discovering that she was a victim of assault, although the culprit have been jailed. He had planned to tell her, but he knew it would make her uncomfortable and might make her feel unworthy of him, so he decided to keep it a secret." Really?" " Yeah" Jacob came forward and carried her in a bridal style to his bedroom upstairs, he placed her gently on the bed and squat down in front of her. " This room belongs to the both of us and what is mine is yours too." he then fetched out a small blue box from his pocket, revealing a heart shaped blue diamond ring. " Lena, don't panic. I'm not asking you to marry me just yet. I just want to make you feel rest assured so I got this promise ring for you" he took Elena's hand and slide the ring into her finger which looked good
As Sean and Andrea arrived at Jacob's residence, they found Elena busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. The aroma of roasting vegetables wafted through the air, mingling with the sound of sizzling meat on the stovetop.Elena turned to greet them, a warm smile on her face. "Hey, guys! Come on in."Andrea followed Elena into the kitchen, taking in the cozy atmosphere as she began to help with dinner preparations."Sean," Jacob said, his eyes locked on his friend, "do you think Carmen will defend her cousin in court?""I don't think so," Sean replied thoughtfully. "But Carmen, I know, is smart and calculative. I'm sure she wouldn't do anything stupid to spoil her career."As they continued their conversation, Sean glanced around the kitchen, his eyes lingering on Elena, before returning to Jacob. "So did you tell her how you feel?"Jacob nodded sheepishly. "Yeah, I did after the accident. And I even asked her to marry me."Sean's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What did she say?"Jacob's fa
As Megan sat in the garden, her legs crossed and a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she dialed a number on her phone. The receiver picked up immediately, and she demanded, "What did I tell you earlier? Didn't I tell you to always keep me updated on what's going on?"The man on the other end groaned in frustration. "What am I supposed to update you on, woman? Can't you just let me do my job in peace?"Megan's eyes narrowed as she took a long drag on her cigarette. "Watch how you speak to me," she said coldly. "I'm paying you, and I expect results."The man sighed. "Fine. You told me Elena usually leaves work by 6 p.m. It's already 6. She's out."Megan's eyes flickered with excitement. "Great," she said, her voice dripping with malice.As Elena walked out of her workplace, oblivious to the danger lurking nearby, Megan spoke into her phone again. "Go get her."The truck driver started his engine slowly, careful not to alarm Elena as he moved in closer. When the time was right, he stepp
The next morning, Elena woke up as early as possible and got dressed to leave for work. She had no idea where Jacob went inin the early hours of the day, as she didn't meet him in the room when she woke up.She fixed her hair in the mirror and grabbed her bag, then immediately unlocked the door to leave. Just as she did, Jacob walked in with a tray carrying sandwiches, tea, and sliced apples. "Have breakfast before you leave," he said, placing it on the center table and sitting down on the bed, gesturing for her to take a seat beside him.Elena looked at him in surprise and sat down without touching the food. "Should I feed you myself,myself, or did you get it?" he asked, arching his brows at her."I got it," she quickly replied before he could do something strange again. Jacob watched her finish every piece of her breakfast before finally seeming satisfied."Let me drive you to work," he said."I thought you had important things to do today, which is why you got up so early," Elena s
Elena's words got stuck in her throat like a lump; she swallowed hard and proceeded into the room. She looked around, unsure of what to do next, and her gaze fell on the couch beside the glass door leading to the balcony.She sat down, her palms on her thighs, and shortly after, she heard a knock on the door. The maid greeted her, and Elena stepped aside for her to come in; she dropped all sorts of products onto the bed before leaving.After making sure she was gone, Elena went through the stuff the maid had brought. They were a pair of pink lingerie pajamas, a camisole sleeveless top, and matching shorts made of thin fabric. There was also a bottle of body wash, shampoo, a brand-new toothbrush, mouthwash, toothpaste, and lastly, a pack of condoms.Elena's ear turned red, and she couldn't believe her eyes. What did Mrs. Jones think of her relationship with Jacob? That they might have reached that stage? She picked up the condom and wondered where to keep it; she didn't know how she wo
Andrea was later discharged, and by the time Sean found out, he arrived at the hospital only to be told that she had been discharged and her family had taken her away.Sean drove straight to the Jones residence with the twins. He hadn't been able to get home earlier when the nanny informed him through Ruby's iPad."Daddy, why did we come to see Grandpa and Granny? Aren't we going home to Mommy?" Ruby asked."Because Mommy is here with Grandpa and Granny," Sean explained as they walked into the house, where the maids bowed slightly in respect.Jacob came out of his room downstairs and walked up to Sean. "So where were you when my sister was in pain? You left her all by herself because your company is more important than her health? Don't forget you're the one who put her in this condition!"Mr. and Mrs. Jones came downstairs, having heard Jacob raising his voice, and already assumed Sean was there."Uncle, why are you shouting at Daddy?" Pearl chimed in."Daddy didn't do anything wrong
Elena's eyes snapped open as if someone had shaken her awake. She pushed him so harshly that his elbow collided with the door. Quickly, she got down and hurried into the building, disappearing from Jacob's sight before he could react.Jacob winced in pain as he rubbed his elbow, a look of annoyance crossing his face. "Geez! What's wrong with her?" He shook his head and drove off, still smiling foolishly.Elena rummaged through her bag for her keys, her fingers trembling as she unlocked the door and double-checked it was secure. She buried her face in her hair, overwhelmed by the events downstairs. Goodness gracious!As she threw her bag onto the couch, she touched her lips, her mind racing with questions. Why did Jacob kiss her? What was wrong with him?She grabbed her phone and began searching for answers online. But as she scrolled through the search results, her darkening eyes only added to her frustration.After a quick shower, Elena emerged from the bathroom to find a series of u
