I couldn't speak immediately, we just stood there and looked at each other. I don't know if I heard wrong from him or maybe it was just because of the noise of the water."What did you say?" I stammered, still looking straight at him.I stepped back when he came closer to me so our skin touched each other again which was the reason for my cheeks to heat up. I feel like I've been electrocuted again even though it's cold because of the water from the shower."I know you heard me, Janiyah, but I'll say it again. I like you," he whispered to me. "I like you, Janiyah..."He slowly pressed his face to mine, he also pressed his nose to mine. My chest is beating fast again as if something is chasing me. His hand landed on my butt which shocked me even more, he caressed my back which was the reason I felt a sensation in my body."Javier..." I moaned as he kissed my ears.I almost lost my strength from what he was doing. "Do you like me too?" he whispered to me with his romantic voice.Do I lik
I woke up with a sore body, I couldn't move properly so I slowly adjusted myself in bed and turned to my side. I found out that he is not beside me anymore, I was about to react but when I saw the paper next to me, I frowned.Is this a letter?I took the paper and opened it. Indeed, this is a letter from him. I read it using my eyes.Dear my love, Janiyah... I'm sorry if I left early. There is an emergency at the company and they need me. But don't worry, I'll be home right away to pick you up. For now, prepare yourself and wear the dress I bought for you because I will pick you up to go to Angela's family...See you, my wife. I love you.Mahal,Your HusbandI looked around to find the dress he said, and immediately saw it hanging outside the walk-in closet. I left the bed to go to the clothes. It's a red asymmetrical dress. Wow, this is so elegant. I don't know if this dress suits me but I like it. I saw not only this dress but I also saw a box that I am pretty sure it's a pair of s
Ma'am Cecille invited us to enter the house but I still remember what Lawrence whispered to me earlier. Why the hell is he calling me Aliah?"I'm sorry, I don't know what your favorite food is so I've prepared what you might like to eat." Mrs. Jude said smiling. I looked at the food on the table, there was so much that it seemed like there was an occasion, but I hadn't yet tasted the rest of the food on the table."It's okay, Mrs. Jude. I can have it except for the shrimp," I answered.Mrs. Jude’s eyes widened. Her husband and Lawrence also looked at each other. "Really? It's a good thing we didn't prepare a dish with shrimp," Mrs. Jude said.It looks like they probably know that I'm allergic to shrimp because I'm their daughter, right? I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they're thinking.We sat down at the dining table, Javier was next to me, Mrs. Jude and Lawrence next to him while Mr. Jude was at the center among us. "Thank you Janiyah for coming here, at first we were surprise
My first day with Angela's family went well. After Javier delivered my other clothes, he immediately said goodbye because he had something else to do. I just let it go because I was doing something myself."Are you ready?" Mommy Cecille asked me. I smiled and nodded.We are going out today to do some shopping. Because she asked me to be with her. She said it was our first bonding so she could get to know me and what I like. I am sure they know what my previous job was before I met Javier, it is impossible that they are not visiting me but what I wonder is why they welcomed me right away. They were not angry."You're so beautiful, Janiyah…” She smiled at me. I smiled at her too. “Let's go? I am so excited to be with you today..." she said happily."Yes, I am excited too, Mom."The two of us left, she didn't bring any helpers but only the driver. While we were on the trip, she spoke and what she said confirmed what I was thinking earlier. "Your work...I mean your past work, what do you
We got to the house that all of us are not talking, Mommy and Lawrence didn't speak again while Mr. Jude is holding his phone as if he is waiting for something, I'm sure the result of the DNA Test is what he is waiting for."Doctor Sue called," said Mr. Jude and came to us, we stood up from the couch. We were just waiting in the living room."Sue, how was it?" asked Mr. Jude. He put the phone on loudspeaker so we could hear what they were talking about."I already sent the digital copy of the result in your email address, and will send the physical copy of the result tomorrow," the doctor said.We looked at each other before Mr. Jude replied. “Thank you, Sue, for your help. We will look now but is this accurate? You sent it to my email?” he asked.I heard the doctor laugh a little. “Of course, Lucio. What you see in the digital copy is what you will see in any hospital if you want to run a test again for you to be sure. But, I'm telling you, that is accurate. Check it…” the doctor exp
I went back to Javier's mansion because I wanted to talk to him but I was also going back to my real family's house. Tomorrow night I will also be introduced to people as the daughter of my real parents.Javier didn't know I was going to his house, I just went there aloneand good thing he was there and he was surprised to see me. "Janiyah...I was about to see you at Jude's house," he said.He hugged me tightly as if we hadn't seen each other for a long time. "We didn't see each other just yesterday, Javier." I said laughing.He made me face him and held both shoulders. "I missed you... you didn't call so I thought I should have gone to see you. I didn't know you were coming home today, I wish you had called me so I could pick you up right away."I was silent when he said that, he thought I would go home today. "Javier...I'm not coming home today," I said causing him to stop. He looked at me in confused, frowning."What do you mean you won't go home today? If that is, what are you doi
I didn't realize the time I was with Javier here in the place he brought me. I feel so relieved that I don't seem to be facing any problems."You're having fun?" Javier swam over to me and sat next to me.We bathed in the pool just the two of us and there were staff standing at each side of the pool area. I don't know why there is a need for someone to stand with us."I am at peace," I answered him smiling.I was slightly surprised when he stood in front of me. I was just sitting on the steps of the pool because I was resting from swimming earlier. "Why?" I stammered a question."You are beautiful..."My previously cold body warmed up because of what he said. I couldn't move because he was so close to me. "What are you doing?" I have a hard question. I wanted to push him but I couldn't because my hands were holding onto the cement.He brought his face closer to mine. "Javier, there are people watching us..." I whispered hoping that he would back off because I was shy of the people aro
We got home from where we went, I fell asleep again on the way which I didn't mean to. I felt guilty because I slept and didn't accompany Javier when he was awake. "I'm sorry if I fell asleep," I told him when we got out of his car."It's okay, wife. I understand why you fell asleep, I made you tired…” He grabbed my waist and pressed my body to his. I felt my cheeks heat up from what he said.I remembered again what we did in the pool area, that was such an intense scene of us having sex. I didn't really expect that we would do it in a public place like that. I know he said no one will look at us while we do that but I can't get out of my mind what if someone is looking at us? I don't want to ruin his image just like that, I know people's minds. It would have been fine if we just kissed but no, we did that thing in there. Ugh! I don't want to think about it right now.I also looked around where we were standing to see if anyone heard what he said but no one was here with us; my famil
"Janiyah?" Javier asked in surprise when he returned to Janiyah's ward room and saw that Janiyah was not in her bed. He immediately rushed to look inside the comfort room but there was no sign of Janiyah there. He felt nervous, he also didn't notice that someone came out of Janiyah's room earlier. “Damn it!” he shouted angrily. He took his phone and called Angela because Angela was the only one he could count on right now because Liam still hadn't woken up. "Where are you? Is Janiyah in your condo?” Javier asked Angela. "What?" Angela frowned when she asked. "What are you talking about? Why would he come here if he's in the hospital—” "She's missing!" Javier shouted, causing Angela to interrupt what she was saying. "What?" Angela's eyes widened when she heard what Javier said. "I'm on my way there. Maybe Liam was in the garden or went to his room," Angela said. Javier hung up, he didn't answer what Angela said. He immediately went to Liam's room even though it was still on the fi
FLASHBACKS*** "Samuel, what are we going to do with the child? She was hit by a gun..." Laura said crying as Samuel carried the girl they saw earlier. At first the girl was crying and looking for her parents, there was a disturbance in the park where her family was and in an unexpected event, the girl got separated from her parents. And the couple saw the little girl. But while they were talking to the girl who was crying, Laura noticed that there was blood on the side of the girl's stomach. "We will take him to the hospital. I don't know how he endured the pain of the bullet in his body..." said Samuel panting. They succeeded in taking the girl to the hospital. They watched over and cared for the girl until she woke up. "What's your name?" Laura asked the girl calmly. The girl just looked at the two of them, not understanding what was happening. He also couldn't answer Laura's question of what his name was because he couldn't remember until the girl no longer remembered her name
"Oh God, please wake up.. Please please..." Angela was crying as she held Janiyah's hand. The ambulance that Angela called also arrived immediately. She couldn't even call Javier because his hand was shaking. She is holding her phone in one hand while her other hand is holding Janiyah's unconscious and bloody hand. The medical team assisted them. "How is she? Does he still have a pulse?” Angela nervously asked the nurse. "We haven't found her pulse yet but don't worry we are close to the hospital," answered the nurse. Angela cried even more at what the nurse said. Angela turned to her phone in shock when it suddenly rang. Javier called. Angela answered the call slowly, she was still nervous because her hands were still shaking. "Angela... why did you call? I didn't answer the call because I was in a meeting earlier. Is there a problem? Have you met Janiyah? She said she will go to your condo unit," Javier said one after the other. Angela was silent, holding back her own tears. Sh
Jessa laughed loudly as if she was happy with Angela's reaction because of what she said. "You didn't expect that to happen?" Jessa asked, still laughing. Angela's face couldn't be painted because she felt angry with Jessa. She wanted to hurt Jessa but her weak body seemed to stop her. She just couldn't stop her tears. "I'm going to kill you for what you did..." Angela stammered and slowly approached Jessa, Jessa backed away, still not afraid of what Angela might do to her. "I can't forgive you for betraying me and killing Lawrence," Angela added. Jessa smirked, "I'm not asking for your forgiveness, Angela. I just came here to tell you that you made me do it. You made me kill your brothis.” Jessa simply said that it seems like she doesn't have everything. Angela felt even more angry. Her right hand Jessa betrayed her, she didn't expect that and even more she didn't expect Jessa to kill Lawrence. "You know I didn't tell you to kill her, Jessa. I didn't say that to you. Why did you
After Periyah and Javier went to Hillary's grave, Javier took Periyah to them and immediately returned to the hospital. Right after he arrived at Liam's ward room, Liam's parents were there and Lucy was already standing, she was no longer in her wheelchair. "Javier..." Janiyah mentioned when she saw Javier who had just entered the ward room. "Hey..." Javier smiled at her and approached her. He also greeted Liam's parents. Laura cries and blames herself for what happened to Liam. Just before they got to the hospital, Laura was crying because she found out that something had happened to Liam. Janiyah herself called them to inform them about Liam and when they were at the hospital, Janiyah also told them what Liam was really doing when Liam was abroad. Liam's family is shocked and Laura blames herself because she feels she neglected Liam. "Mom, Liam chose the life he wanted..." Janiyah said to Laura. Laura shook her head. “He didn't like it. If only we were rich he wouldn't be able t
Lara looked at Jessa badly, she didn't like what Jessa said even though she knew what Jessa said was true but she couldn't accept it coming from someone she didn't trust. "Stop it, Jessa. Isn't Angela no longer in your organization? But why are you still here and trying to do wrong? You're still taking Aaron with you." Lara said long. Jessa laughed even more weakly. "I don't care if Angela is no longer in our organization, Lara. Do you see him being buried? Not yet, right? And don't tell me, you don't like my plan? I know you want him gone too so you can be alone with Aaron. I'm right, aren't I?” Jessa said at length. Lara felt even more angry with Jessa. He wants to lose Jessa but he can't because Jessa is the one Aaron always looks for when Aaron needs something. Since Jessa came into Aaron's life, a lot has changed in Aaron. Not only in how people hurt Aaron, but also in what they do. "When Aaron wakes up, get ready for me. I will kill you myself, Jessa…” Lara said seriously. J
Janiyah stopped searching and calling Javier's name when someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind her. She immediately turned around and her eyes almost widened when she saw the person in front of her. She didn't realize that her tears were falling as she looked at the man she loved. "Javier..." she softly mentioned Javier's name. Javier didn't think twice, he hugged Janiyah tightly. "Wife...you're here," he said. He wanted to cry too but he stopped himself. Liam, Periyah, Angela, Lenard and Lenard's parents who also accompanied Javier to the bus station just watched. Janiyah stopped hugging Javier and looked at Javier. "Oh God...where have you been? What happened to you?" Janiyah asked crying, she was having a hard time looking at Javier's face that still had bruises and wounds even though Alvin had treated them. "It's a long story. Why are you here?” he asked. Janiyah turned for a moment to her companions Liam, Angela and Periyah and looked at Javier again. "We came here to
They finished eating dinner and Janiyah still couldn't talk to the three of them properly so she was more and more confused until she entered the room with Angela."What's happening?" she asked.Angela frowned as she turned to Janiyah. "What's happening?" he also asked back to Janiyah."Between you, Liam and Periyah. Why didn't you talk earlier at dinner? Do you three have a problem?” Janiyah asked one after the other.Angela looked seriously at Janiyah and then looked away. "No problem, Janiyah." Angela answered simply, her tone and face were also serious when she said that."If there's no problem why aren't you talking?" Janiyah asked again so Angela turned back to her."I don't need to talk to them all the time. I don't know why you are including that in our problem. Our concern here is your husband, Javier is the one we should think about where we can find him," Angela said at length.Janiyah sighed. "How can we focus on the search if you three have a problem with each other. Even
As Janiyah said they would stop at a hotel first, they did. Angela and Janiyah shared a room, Liam in a hotel room and Periyah alone in a hotel room. She doesn't want Angela and Janiyah to be with her in the same room.The surroundings were cold because of the rain, strong wind and the fog that surrounded the whole area. The four of them didn't bring any clothes because they thought they could find Javier in just one day, fortunately the hotel where they stayed was for sale. This is a mountain side hotel but the facilities are complete except for the signal because the signal is weak throughout the area."You want to come with me?" Angela asked Janiyah.Janiyah turned to Angela for a moment and shook her head. "I'm not in the mood to go out, maybe I'll just rest and maybe when I wake up, Javier will be next to me," Janiyah said softly.Angela sighed because of what Janiyah said and then said goodbye to leave their hotel room first. When he got out, he saw Periyah walking like he was g
