Chapter 74 Kevin Please Gina, I am sorry. I never wanted to hurt her. I love her, you know that. Help me tell her what I just told you. She listens to you. Tell her to give me one more chance.” “Forget it? You are joking if you think I am going to ask Jan to get back with you.” “Come on Gina! Help me out.” I pleaded. “No.” She said firmly. She turned to Brian who stood behind her. “And you knew about this all along and kept it from me?” His eyebrows went up. “No I didn’t. The day he told me was the day I told him to tell Jan the truth. I was hoping he would, and Janet would tell you.” She rolled her eyes. “I am going. I can’t stand breathing the same air with this guy. Meet me at home.” She told Brian and left. “That went well.” Brian grinned. I sat back down. “Yeah, very well. This is all my fault. I should have told Janet immediately. But I delayed, now look at the mess I am in.” “You made a mistake, stop beating yourself up and fix it.” How do I do that
Chapter 75 Kevin My parents received the news of my latest stupidity, and that they were soon to be grandparents, better than I had thought. I had arrived the family mansion just before lunch time. I had warned mom not to invite anyone else to lunch, and thankfully she had listened. She and dad were sitting on the patio when I arrived. “Kevin honey,” mom hugged me. “ Where is Janet?” “Relax honey, Jan is right behind him.” Dad said. “No, I came alone. Dad, Mom, there is something important I have to tell you both.” “What is it? What’s wrong?” Mom asked alarmed. “Let me guess, you and Janet are expecting a baby.” Dad smirked. “Wow! That’s good news.” Mom squealed. “ we are going to be grandparents!” “No mom.” I said firmly. “ You are going to be grandparents, but not from Janet. We are not together anymore.” They stared at me as if I had gone mad. I sat down on one of the wicker chairs and explained. They were silent as I told them about having drunk sex with Ri
Chapter 76 Kevin I was back in my chair, going over what I had just seen, when Rita walked in. She looked around for me. I stood up and waved her over. “Sorry I am late babe.” She grinned. “Hope you are not mad?” I was too distracted to be angry with her. “What’s with you?” She asked, “you look serious.” “None of your business.” I snapped. She shrugged and ordered a drink. “Before you tell me how much my allowance is going to be, I have made a list of all the things I will be needing.” She brought out a sheet of paper from her handbag and pushed it to me. I glanced at it. It included spa treatments, facials, and other useless things. The total sum came to thousands of dollars. This woman had nerve all right. “This is aside my allowance of course, also you will get me a new apartment. Mine is too small, I can’t be living in such a place while pregnant. I need space.” “Is that all?” I asked quietly. “And, I need a ride of my own. Maybe you could get me a Fe
Chapter 77 Anna I walked into the living room carrying a traveling bag, tears rolling down my face. I had been to the house Tony and I had briefly shared, where we had planned to raise a family, to pick up the last of my stuff. The house had been empty, Tony had already moved his stuff out and I had no idea where he was. Yesterday I had received the divorce papers. Even though I had been expecting it, I had been devastated and cried bitterly. Fran and Jan had tried to console me but I couldn’t stop crying. How could Tony treat me like this? I had loved him, yet he had hurt and humiliated me. I cried harder as I remembered I had been the trending news for weeks. Social media may have forgotten for now, but I hadn’t, neither had my friends who now avoided me. I wiped my tears, crying wouldn't help. I dropped the bag near the sofa, and went to the bar to pour myself a drink, then sank into an armchair. It was Saturday and the house was quiet as usual. Fran had gone for the
Chapter 78 Janet For the first time in months, I woke up with a hangover. I groaned. A hangover wasn’t the best way to start a Monday morning. Last night Jason and I had gone out again. We had gone to a bar and had several drinks, while he'd told me a lot of funny stories about his childhood. I had really enjoyed myself. Aside having the same interests, he was nice and fun to be with. I wasn’t interested in anything romantic right now, I just wanted simple friendship and he accepted that I hadn’t seen or heard from Kevin and I was pleased, or so I told myself. After what Jason had told me he’d done in college, I never wanted to see him again. He was a monster. Yet I still got wet just thinking about the monsters touch and the way he had made love to me. I sighed. I would soon get over it. Fran knocked and came in, holding a glass. “Time to get up Miss Janet. I brought you this.” She handed me the glass. “ It’s a hangover remedy. From the look of you last night, I know you
Chapter 79 Kevin After I had talked to Breed, I called Brian. It rang but he didn’t pick up. I shrugged and went home. I spent all night thinking about what Don and Lois might be up to. I knew as long as Don was involved, something bad was being planned. And if I guessed right, against Jan’s family. They won’t succeed on my watch. I thought. I was up early the next morning and got ready for work. Before leaving, I called a delivery service and asked for chocolates and flowers to be delivered to Jan at work. I got to work and went straight to Brian office. “Kev you are in early.” He said. “How did it go with your mom and dad?” “Better than I thought. They were understanding.” “And Rita?” “I made the greedy tramp an offer I knew she would refuse.” He laughed when I told him. “So are you expecting a bitter custody battle?” He asked. “I am, and I will handle it when it comes. Now to why I am here. Guess who I saw yesterday?” “No idea. Spill.” “Don Richards.”
Chapter 80 Janet I was lucky to get a cab the moment I walked to the road. The dumbasses didn’t even know I had left. They were too busy being stupid. Before I got into the cab, I looked round and saw the morons were still arguing. On the way back to my office I wondered if stupidity was part of the male DNA. Then shook my head. No, my dad would never have done such nonsense. I had decided to escape before someone started recording them, and out faces ended up on social media. “I am not seeing any visitors.” I told Dani when I got to my office. “ None at all.” “Okay Ms. Benson.” I switched off my phone and entered my office. I sank into my chair, still burning with shame at their behavior. Thank goodness the café hadn’t been full. But still, the few people who were there had been looking at us. You really know how to pick them Jan. I thought bitterly. What does it say about you if you attract such fools. I closed my eyes and leaned back, trying to stop th
Chapter 81 Janet I stared at him in shock. Kevin had bought our shares? Dad must have known,why didn’t he tell me? I would have been prepared to see him. I pulled myself together, determine not to let him get to me. “Good morning.” I said politely, and nodded to Brian sitting beside him. I looked round for my name plate, and found it was in front of the seat besides Kevin. Keeping my face blank I sat down beside Kevin. Being so close to him made my body tingled. The meeting began. From the corner of my eye I could see Kevin smiling mischievously, but he wasn’t looking at me. Then I felt his hands on my thigh. My breath stopped and I felt my body heating up. I removed his hand his smile widened. “Miss, Benson,” Dad said, “maybe you should explain our P.R campaign to the new shareholders.” I was forced to use both hands and my concentration to work on my laptop. Kevin’s hand went back to my thigh and began moving higher. I was breathing faster, my body burning h
