"You can place him right on the center of the bed!" Kelsey clapped excitedly as she directed Jackson to her bed.

"Alright!" He had his ever-present pleasing smile on his dumb ugly - okay, maybe not so ugly - face as he settled the giant toy on top of her purple fluffy pillows and straightened up, scanning the toy treasure cove that my daughter's bedroom was.

His eyes took in the many drawings that my monkey had made and then his eyes lingered on one of the drawings in particular.

It was her representation of me as a superwoman with hEro written on the top in her clumsy scrawl.

Jackson's eyes softened as he took in the sight. "She is quite the artist, isn't she?"

It took me a moment to snap out of my dreadful train of thought and actually realize that he was talking to me.

I was in a daze as I nodded. "Yeah... She is really good. At everything she does."

"Gets it from her mother, I guess." He replied without missing a beat.

    _____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~.After breakfast, which consisted of many more of my monkey's burnt poison toasts and all three of us collectively stopping her from actually trying out her disastrous culinary creation, Sarah, Kelsey, Jackson, and I filed into his car, with me in the passenger's seat and my girls in the back.It brought back memories.It had been five years, but he was still using the same car—the black SUV that I had brought him on one of his birthdays, the only one which I had celebrated with him.Why was he still using it though? Shouldn't he have thrown this vehicle out just like he had thrown me out of his life?And he already had a child seat installed. Was he actually expecting to take Kelsey out today or did he have a child? I did not have the courage to ask. Kelsey was busy yapping with Sarah. They were always doing that. Sarah's childish side came out whenever her Kelse was around.Jackson seemed to be uncomfortable. He kept on squirming in his s

He jumped back, clutching his chest when he took the turn and found me leaning against the wall."I am not a ghost, Mr. Reign." I rolled my eyes as I pushed myself off the wall and turned back to where the ice cream shop was. "Just the ghost of your past." Why the hell do I have to say things like that?Jackson followed me with a sigh. "Olivia, you know that's not true."I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him, crossing my arms across my chest, not missing the way his eyes immediately went down to my breasts the moment I did that. "What is not true, Jackson? Also, my eyes are up here." I pointed at them. Jackson looked away for a moment but he had less embarrassment at being caught sta

It very well could have been just that but all of a sudden dread filled the pit of my stomach.Jackson looked at the phone in his hand, his eyes widening as he seemed to realize something. "Or she didn't want to be found." He said, his voice low.I smacked him on his arm. "Shut up and stop spewing shit about my best friend."He looked at me with those puppy eyes that I used to melt in. "Olivia, I'm just saying-""There is more chance of them getting kidnapped than my best friend taking off intentionally with my daughter," I told him, my words faltering at the end of the sentence when I understood the fear in the pit of my stomach - were they kidnapped?"Who would kidnap them?" Jackson asked. "It's not like anyone knows that Kelsey is my daughter." I wanted to smack him again but had to rein in my temper. "One, she is not your daughter. And two, the colossal ego on you! She is Daniel Smith's only granddaughter. And

"How could you?" I whispered."I wanted to tell you," he began, but I didn't let him finish."You had five years, Jackson!" I yelled, my voice causing a few of the mall-goers to turn their attention to us, but I did not care. I couldn't care less about their reaction when I had been hit with two of the biggest horrors of my life at once. "Five years to tell me that we were never really divorced!"Jackson looked at me with pleading eyes, but I was not in the mood to hear his bullshit. "You knew!" I accused him. "You knew and you did not say anything!""Liv-""Don't you dare!" I cut him off, my voice echoing through the mall. "You don't get to call me that. Not after what you've done. And

Maybe it was because we were not his family, but the way he acted with Kelsey was sending mixed signals. The thought niggled at the back of my mind as I watched him from the car. He walked out of the bank with a duffel bag that was probably stuffed with money. The transaction was simple, but the situation was anything but."Ready?" He asked as he got in and tossed the bad into the backseat.I squared my shoulders and nodded. "As I will ever be."Jackson's eyes stayed on my face for a whole minute even though I refused to look at him before he started the car.The drive to the park was silent, tension crackling in the closed atmosphere of the vehicle. The GPS giving the directions did not help at all.My forehead wrinkled.Of course, he didn't know around the place. He was on the other si

Every minute that passed felt like an eternity.But when we reached the parking lot, I felt as if we had reached too fast - that I did not get the time to prepare myself for what was to come.Jackson parked the car and turned to look at me with wariness in his eyes. "Why are you not happy?" He asked.I ignored him and stepped out of the car, my legs feeling like jelly. "We need to talk." I said, walking towards the elevator."What is it?" He asked as he followed me. "I know you are mad. I know you blame me for what happened. But I swear, if I knew something like this was going to happen, then I would have been much more careful than this." I jabbed on the call button of the elevator and then turned to face him with a glare on my face. "Oh, so you do admit that you could have more car

I would have fallen flat on my butt with her in my arms if it was not for Jackson who caught me from behind, his hands landing straight on my breasts again. I looked up and glared at him as he steadied me and he immediately retreated his hand. Good choice, mate, good choice. I bent down and quickly picked my daughter up, peppering kisses all over her face as I wrapped my arms tight around her while carrying her out of the metal box. "Are you okay?" I asked her.Kelsey nodded her head vigorously, her eyes wide. "I'm fine, Mommy. The misters were nice. They said they had to go on a trip and couldn't play with us anymore. That's why they brought us home."She looked over my shoulder at Jackson."Daddy!" She grinned at him. I stiffened as I turned around to face him.Jackson's eyes lit up as he took a tentative st

And then, it will be easier for me to have Livy where I wanted her.I got out of the car and passed the keys to the valet, strolling towards the elevator with a bounce to my step. My daughter knew who I was. And Olivia knew that she could not fight me now. Everything had just gotten ten times easier in just a couple of hours.

    _________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ .New day, new me. Last night, when Jackson said that he had more secrets, for a moment I thought he was going to come clean. For a moment, I thought he was going to show some kind of remorse. But then I didn't know what I would do if he did suddenly confess to all his wrong-doings. What the hell was I supposed to do? How the hell was I supposed to react? But he simply shrugged and walked away, waiting patiently for me at the living room with Kelsey and Pickles for their sandwich and snacks.He gave me time to sleep on the thought. What would I do if he suddenly came clean? And I had come to a conclusion. I was not going to forgive him. Him confessing to his sins was like a serial killer confessing to his murders. Would the confession decrease the severity of the crime committed? Maybe to the court of law, it would. But not to the victims. And I was the victim. And in my court of law, there was no forgiveness of Jackson Reign. “You ok

Pickles, on the other hand, seemed not very interested in seeing him and went sat down by Kelsey’s feet though she was wagging her tail.“Monkey, I missed you!” He picked her up and twirled her around as she giggled. “So how was girls’ week?” That was the excuse we had come up with to cover up the latest fuck up. “Fun!” She giggled. “Daddy, get me a brother so than you can have boys’ night!” Jackson laughed nervously as he looked over at me. Yeah sure, bruh. I am going to give you another child after all the shit you put me through.“Alright Monkey, get changed. Mommy will fix you up a sandwich.” I told her as I walked over to her bedroom to drop off her bag. “Okay!” She was in a really good mood tonight since she was back with both her parents. And Pickles. My daughter did not want anything more than this. And I felt horrible that I could not even give her th

    _________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ .“Till when are you going to keep this up, Jackson?” I asked as soon as the other two stepped out of the conference hall. Sarah was not at all happy. I knew that she believed in me but there was a part of her who still believed that I will melt for the sob story that Jackson would present to manipulate me. I needed to make my loyal best friend proud. Jackson winced as if me calling him by his whole name had done more damage than all of his bullshit did. “Liv, just listen to me.” He said. I knew he had enough time to make up a good story and that he had come completely prepared to get the deal that he wanted.I crossed my arms across my chest and tipped my chin up. “I am listening. So say what you have to say.” And he did. His made up story of how Elena had approached him to get William’s help with her divorce. “You don’t believe me.” He said after I stayed silent for almost three minutes after he had finished his tale. “Oh I believe you.”

You are not allowed to fall for any of his bullshit. Capiche?” I took a deep breath and let it out. “Yes yes, ma’am. I will do my best to not be influenced by hi-”“No no no.” She stomped a foot to make a point. “That’s not the attitude we are looking for. We are not going to do our best to resist his manipulation. We ARE going to resist his manipulation. Now, rephrase your sentence.” I rolled my eyes. My friend was motivating and coaching me like I was going out to war, which I was. Did I love it and felt grateful for her support? Absolutely. But she was going a tad bit overboard with it at this point. “I am going to not be influenced by his manipulations. I am not going to fall for his same old cheap tricks. And I am going to m

I looked over at him, who was looking at me as if I was an idiot, and raised a brow, "Well?" "Why the hell would you go to meet Elena? When you know very well that she is trouble?" William asked. I rolled my eyes. He was still stuck there when there was much more important matters to worry about. "Why the hell would you go to meet Sarah? It's not like you knew Liv was going to be there? Why the hell would you go to meet your arch nemesis alone? What would have happened if she had stabbed you and fed you to some wild animal?" Of course, I knew I was being dramatic but I would not put anything past that pain in the ass. William let out a chuckle. "One, she is not my arch nemesis. Two, you have a wild imagination. Careful now Reign, someone might think you actually care for someone other than yourself." I t

I side-eyed Sarah who seemed like she was going through as much as a hard time as me trying to stay serious. “What do you mean?” He finally found his voice. I thought the man had had a stroke hearing my condition and lost the ability to speak. “You heard me. I am not signing the Lilith Corp. back to you until you prove that there was, is, and will never be anything between you and Elena.” I said as evenly as I could, trying not to sound arrogant or victorious.“Liv, that makes no sense.” He said. “Whatever you mean?” Sarah spoke, coming to stand beside me. “It’s the most sensible thing I have heard her speak ever since you came back into her life.” Jackson turned to look at his stumped friend

William sounded equally pissed. He had no right to be. Okay, maybe I should have given him a heads-up but why on earth would I ever imagine that he would turn up at their door?"There is a situation." I breathed out as I got into my car and connected my phone to the system."Don't tell me that bitch is blackmailing you with something else now."

I had just told her about Jackson's date idea.It was good to see that her humor had not been affected after what happened. I knew that my best friend was still beating herself up for things that she could not control.And the sleepover was me trying to fix that."I do not like that you left my Kelse alone with that fraud just to come here to make me feel better."

I walked to the living room to find Jackson working on Kelsey's pigtails. "Do you plan to stay up all night, Monkey? Why are you dressing up?" I asked. Both of them looked over at me. Kelsey grinned at me while Jackson had that look of awe that used to make me melt on the spot. Used to. Not anymore. Because I knew it was a farce. "Mommy, you look so pretty!" Kelsey clapped her hands and turned to Jackson. "Right, Daddy? Mommy looks like a Barbie doll, right?" I rolled my eyes as he nodded in agreement before looking back at me. "Even better." "Alright, let's go, shall we?" I asked, holding my hand out for my daughter to take. She held my hand and then turned around to hold her father's hand as well. "Let's go! I miss Pickles!"
