3. My son

JACKSON

~•~

After successfully getting Kimberly to sign the divorce papers, I went downstairs to grab a bite before heading back to the hotel where I left Paige and my son.

It was hard letting Kimberly go but I had to do it because Paige was back and she requested I divorce Kimberly or else she would move back to Chicago.

Paige and I were engaged even before Kimberly came into the picture, but we had to call it off because her parents requested she move to Chicago to manage their business.

Paige and I were already having minor issues and we both agreed we couldn’t do long distance, so we had to go our separate ways.

I was surprised when I ran into Paige some days back at the restaurant during lunch and was even more surprised when she revealed to me that she was pregnant when she left for Chicago.

I had informed my mother about Paige’s arrival five days ago. She was excited about her return and also at the fact that she had a grandson all this while.

My mother and sister also advised me to divorce Kimberly. I had been stalling for days because I didn’t want to hurt her, but I finally brought myself to do it because I wasn’t in love with her.

I couldn’t let my guard down or bring myself to love her throughout our three years of marriage because I always hoped Paige would return to my life.

Kimberly was a good woman but the woman I loved was back in my life and I couldn’t ignore her. I texted my mother to let her know Kimberly had signed the divorce papers before going back to the hotel.

My phone flashed with a text as I drove into the hotel. I parked the car and unlocked it to see a text from my secretary through the notifications.

[Are you going to come in today?]

I hadn’t been to the company for some days because I was spending time with my son. I wasn’t aware he existed and I wanted to get to know him better.

[I won’t be coming in today.]

I responded before heading out of the car.

“Have you given her the divorce papers yet?” Paige asked as soon as I walked into the suite. I had left earlier in the morning to give Kimberly the papers.

“Yes, I have,” I responded and a small smile crept to her lips. “I’m all yours now,” I pulled her closer to me.

“So when is she moving out of the house?” Paige pulled away and looked at me.

“Stop spoiling the fun.” I sighed. “I asked her to leave before I returned in the evening.”

“Jordan and I are moving in today, right?” Paige asked and I nodded. She had been wanting to move in since but I couldn’t have both women under one roof at the same time.

I asked Kimberly to leave the house because I wanted Paige and our son to finally move in with me. I was also tired of staying at the hotel.

“Come here,” I whispered, pulling her close to me. “I missed you,” I said, giving her a seductive wink. Paige was about to say something but I kissed her to shut her up.

My eyes ran around her body hungrily and I couldn’t wait to have her. I wanted to make up for all those times we lost.

I lifted her and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I took her to the couch and dropped her off on the couch.

“Asher is sleeping over there.” She said her voice barely above a whisper. She was referring to our son who was on the other side of the suite.

“I’ll be quiet.”

I knelt before her and gave her a crooked smile as I undressed her. When I was done, I took off my shirt and started trailing kisses all over her body while she let out silent moans.

As I circled her clit with my thumb and kissed her thighs, she let out a gasp.

All of a sudden, my phone rang, interrupting the moment. I groaned, ignoring the noise. “I’ll ignore it,” I whispered but Paige pushed me slightly.

“You should take it.” She suggested, her voice barely audible.

I stood up and pulled my phone out of my trousers. It was the house help calling. What was she calling me for?

“Kimberly just passed out, sir. You should come to the house as soon as possible,” Caro said, a hint of fear and urgency in her voice.

Kimberly was meant to be packing her boxes and leaving my house. Was this some sort of a sick prank to make me rethink my decision?

“Ask Arthur to take her to the hospital.”

I didn’t care to know why she supposedly fainted because I didn’t have time for her silly games. Arthur was one of my drivers and I trusted him to take care of everything.

After that, I hung up the call and was about to continue with Paige when I heard footsteps walking towards us.

Paige quickly dressed up and I walked to Asher, meeting him halfway. “Look who is finally awake,” I said as I ruffled his brown hair.

Asher was still trying to adjust to having me as his father. He wasn’t completely comfortable around me. I was a bit worried but Paige assured me he would come around eventually.

“Can I have something to eat?” He asked his mother as he walked past me. She took him downstairs to the hotel restaurant while I stayed back in the suite.

I checked in with my secretary to see how things were going at the office. After that, I called my accountant to transfer some money to Kimberly’s account as I had promised her.

A few minutes later, I got a call from my sister.

“You need to get to the hospital as soon as possible.” Emily’s voice echoed from the other side of the line as I answered the call.

“What?” I asked, a hint of confusion in my voice. “Get to the hospital to do what?”

“It’s Kimberly, the doctors requested for you,” Emily replied. “Mom and I are on our way there.” With that, she hung up the call.

I was quite confused because Kimberly was doing perfectly fine before I left the house. So I didn’t see any reason for her to need any serious medical attention.

I dressed up, then waited for Paige and Asher to return before telling her I needed to leave for the hospital.

Paige insisted on going with me to the hospital.
