Jack held her hands as he looked at her straight in the eyes. It was time to do this. The earlier the better.“Exactly……you see, there has been an attempt on your life and I am worried about your safety. I am suggesting that I hire a body guard to protect you and Angel at all times. What do you say?” How could she not accept such a thoughtful offer?“Okay, but the body guard must be a lady “she replied. she wanted someone that she can be comfortable with at all times. Someone who will understand her as a woman and not bring her any further complications.“That is a deal. I will get you the best body guard ever.” He said but then he seemed like he hadn’t finished talking. Caroline was patiently listening to him. She appreciated all his efforts and for once in her life, she felt that someone really cared about her.She didn’t have to deal with his bad moods or uncalled for accusations the way Wesley had been throughout their marriage.“Since I am your husband now, why don’t you let m
“Are you stalking me?” she asked offended that Wesley had the guts to come to her neighborhood. what was he up to now?Why was he even asking when that was all that the damn man has been doing ever since they divorced? It was like he was obsessed with her. she didn’t understand why when she had shown him clearly that she has moved on with her life?“Isn’t it obvious that I am stalking you? what do you think?” the man asked arrogantly while looking at her impatiently.“I don’t give the fuck. Would you leave me alone so that I can live without seeing your face for once in my life? I am sorry but I was just taking my evening stroll and I don’t appreciate you appearing out from nowhere “she sneered disgustedly.“Are you going to be that indifferent when I am the one who saved your life? I am really hurting here. Please come and help me “Wesley said and groaned like he was really in pain.At the back of her head, she knew that the man was a cheeky one. He wa capable of doing anything in or
Slowly he lifted her chin before placing a kiss on her forehead and then on her cheeks.“If you want more, just tell me and you will get all of me. Don’t you know that you own me? The whole of my body and my soul belongs to you, honey. I don’t know why you are still doubting me. “He said and then took her hands and directed them to his heart “feel how my heart is beating for you “he added. while kissing her hands. The warmth of his lips gave her comfort.How could she resist this kind of sweetness? it felt right. Nothing with him ever felt wrong. Wesley was being genuine. She has never seen him show his emotions the way that he was doing today. She found herself feeling confused.“I miss you so much. Kiss me please. take my breath away “Was she being serious? she was the one warning him just a while ago that he didn’t want to betray her husband and yet she couldn’t wait to taste his inviting lips. What the hell has Wesley turned her into?To hell with every caution. She has honestl
“What …. what are you talking about, Wes?” She chuckled with disappointment in her eyes “You never cared about what I felt before. why now, honey? Can’t you see that I need you to be inside of me right now? come on…stop killing the mood. It is not funny anymore. “Caroline scolded.As her hands went inside his trouser, Wesley held them in place.“I am serious, Caro. I am not repeating the same mistake that I did with you before. Sober up, I need to take you back home “he said with sternness as he lifted her up and placed her back on her seat.“Why did you want me here in your car if not to have sex with me? I don’t understand you, Wesley? Why are you doing this to me?” she asked looking flushed and embarrassed.Wesley took her face in his huge hands before planting a light kiss on her cheeks “You might not believe me but I am not the same Wesley anymore. A lot has changed and I only want to become a better man for you. Life has taught me a lot of things and I don’t want to mess up a
“Right …I will do it right away “Caroline took it and then placed her signature without hesitation. For once in her life, she was sure of what she was doing.After some rest, she will come out strong. She still had big plans for the Morgan corporation but she will hold on for the time being.“Thanks for trusting me, darling. I love you. “Jack said with charm. He was genuinely impressed and Caroline could see it in his eyes.Good for him. At least she has done something to make him happy.“Well…. if there is nothing else. I will go and play with Angel first. I haven’t seen much of her today and I miss her a lot. “Caroline said and then stood up.She still felt guilty for what almost happened between her and Wesley.“Alright....darling. I will catch up with you later. “Caroline finally exited the study room leaving him alone.His face immediately changed in to a frown as he cursed. “Dismas Morgan, you will pay for messing my life. You killed my father and my mother. You made me an orpha
Life was moving on very well. Caroline was glowing. She was no longer stressed and running around like a mad woman. Her day comprises of taking her daughter to school, buying groceries and cooking for her husband. If she couldn’t be a good wife in other ways, then she could cook nice food for Jack.The five years that she spent as a house wife made her perfect her cooking. It was something that came easy to her and she didn’t mind cooking at all.Zoe turned out to be very supportive. She never involved herself in her personal life. She even taught her how to protect herself. she was having a good time.Angel smiled at her mother as she sat at the back of the car with her. Nowadays, she was really the happiest girl ever.“We are here, Angel. we will come and pick you up in the evening “Caroline said as she kissed her cheeks.“Mommy, your face is glowing and your eyes are sparkling. I wish that you can be happy like this forever.” she giggled happily.“Yeah, I have never been this happy
“What! You guys haven’t even told me what you are celebrating. what is the matter with me and Jack?” She asked still looking dumbfounded.“Oh….. Girl, don’t pretend with us. I know that you are kind of shy to talk about these kinds of things but we understand. We know that it is your personal life but as your friends don’t you think that we deserve to know the juiciest details? How is he in bed? Is he good?” Monica was eager to hear about the rest of the story.What they didn’t know was that Caroline was really starting to panic.“What Monica is trying to explain is that I saw you and Jack entering a hotel room. He was holding your waist and kissing you passionately. By the look of things, he was ready to fuck you right there in the corridor. Girl, you got him wrapped around your little finger. Are you still denying that it was you? “Isabel added with a cheeky grin on her face.Now …. Caroline was lost. She didn’t remember if she had gone to any hotel with Jack. Why would she when sh
Before any one of them could say anything, Caroline had sneaked out of the restaurant. She didn’t want so see anybody or talk to anybody. She didn’t want their pity on her. When she saw Zoe still parked at the same spot that she had left her, she hid herself and sneaked through the gate without her noticing. she wanted to go far away from anything that reminded her of her failure in life. She wasn’t against Jack having other women but he would have discussed it with her or he would have waited until they were finally divorced. She went through this with Wesley and it was fucking killing her inside. She didn’t even want to imagine what will happen when Angel hears any of this. She adored Jack. She depended on him like her father and the disappointment will be too much for her to handle. Walking through the road, she had no idea where she wa going. As long as she was moving, anything else didn’t matter. Monica and Isabel couldn’t stop calling. She knew that it was not their faul
“I am sorry to say but we are in a professional relationship. I have never considered him to be anything more because I know that he is a married man. “Heather replied.“I beg to differ but I find that hard to believe given the way you are holding on to his arms. Even a blind man can see that you two are sleeping together. Jack, how does it feel to betray your wife with her lookalike? “Isabel wouldn’t stop until she put those two in their places.“I am sorry but this interview should be about business because this is a celebration ceremony for the company. Making baseless accusations to destroy the company image seem to me like you have been sent by our competitor. “Heather answered with a smile on her face. Isabel turned the mic on Heather’s face and then stated “Dear viewers, I know that you are eager to hear something from the woman herself. Miss Heather, can you confirm that you are the mistress?”“Of course not. I am a highly respectable woman and I know my boundaries. Jack is
Struck with shock, Caroline just stood there watching his cold eyes as he took everything away from her life.No…. the man on the podium was not Jack. He was kind and gentle not a back stabbing idiot that she was seeing in front.What did she ever do to him?She wanted to say something but her mouth felt heavy. All that she heard was voices asking her questions that she had no idea how to answer. She felt pressured. Her physical strength gave way and at that moment, she knew that she was falling down on the floor in front of all the company associates.“I have got you. Don’t be afraid. You will be fine” the voice said as he held her on his chest possessively.Those were the last words that she heard and then everything became black. she was weak. she had failed to protect her father’s legacy. The only one thing that she had promised him on his death bed that she will protect with her life was gone now.“Oh...my God, Caroline. What has just happened? “Monica was startled only to rea
“Of course, I won’t forget thanking our clients, suppliers and investors. They have been the once responsible for our success this year” Caroline replied ready with her speech. After all she was the owner of the company.“I will get my camera men. It will be a live broadcast and you will be my main focus. I want you to shine. “Isabel said and sneaked out of the hall.There were only two seats in front and she knew that one was reserved for her but to her surprise, Heather was already settled on it.It didn’t matter though, even if she took the second row, it would still be okay. No one will suspect that something was wrong.From where she was sitting, Caroline could see Heather. she stuck by Jack’s side like a piece of gum. She wasn’t even ashamed that she was also there as his lawfully wedded wife. This made her start to wonder what exactly they were planning. Then Heather was invited on stage. with confidence, she took on the mic.“Dear ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you all t
Days went by very first and it was the D Day. Several big shots had been invited to witness the success of Morgan corporation during the year. It was a company that many look up to.Actually, it was a very important event for businesses to network within themselves and Morgan corporation was giving them a platform.Despite all the bad things that she had during the week, Caroline was happy to see how perfect Jack has organized the event. He had surpassed all of her expectations.“So, what do you think, darling? “Jack queried as he looked at her in the eyes with excitement and mystery.“Nothing short of my expectations. I am so proud of your work” Caroline appreciated as she glanced around at the guests. There were some of them whom she knew but there were also new faces.Looking around, things were perfect but deep inside she had mixed feelings. she felt that something huge was about to blow up.Like every happy moment of her life, something bad will always happen to spoil her joy.
“Wait for me. I will be right there in my own costumes, okay. It looks like we are going hunting for the bitch.” Caroline said impatiently before disconnecting the phone conversation.Awhile later, she arrived disguised in her jeans and a hoodie of her own. Isabel and Monica looked at her and started laughing. She looked funny indeed.“I couldn’t miss on the fun. Instead of staying at home being restless, I decided to join you two. Let us cheer to that “Caroline grinned.“Hey, we have got news for you about the bitch.” Isabel said. with her influence in the media, she had managed to source for the hidden information about the woman that Jack was cheating on Caroline with.“Yeah, I already know about her name. I have just had a long talk with Megan and she told me some very interesting stuffs. I won’t tell you right now but I will later. I was just calling you to get me information about Heather Kaplan. If they think that they are playing me then they will be in for a surprise”“What a
“I just came to check on you. Are you okay? Is Jack treating you well? It has been long since I saw Angel, is she okay? I would love to ruffle her blond hair, they are kind of cute. “Megan was asking so many questions at the same time. Caroline could already tell that she was nervous.“Is something the matter with you? Please talk to me. Is there a problem with the company?” Caroline’s heart started beating hard.“Caroline, promise me that you won’t tell anyone what I am about to tell you. I loved your father and I like you in the same measure but I just can’t keep quiet on what has been going on in the company ever since you handed it to your husband. I can’t watch what you father build with his own sweat go down the drains.” she started to say looking scared and emotional.Caroline’s face changed “You are going to kill me with anxiety. What happened to the company? What did my husband do? Caroline asked trying to calm her nerves.“Things hasn’t been going on well. Jack changed al
“I am so sorry. Today just wasn’t one of my best “she added as someone cleared his voice next to her chair.“Caroline……long time no see. I am glad to see you enjoying a time out with your lovely husband. Well, I am also here with my man. What a coincidence? “Winnie said while smiling at her with sarcasm.As if she hasn’t had enough drama for the day. She rolled her eyes and faced the woman.“Winnie, we are not friends. Your pleasantries are not necessary. Anyway, we were just leaving. You can stay back and enjoy your evening. “Caroline snarled back at her with impatience.“Caroline, I think that I told you to divorce this cheating jackass. what are you still doing with him?” Wesley queried coldly as he stared daggers at Jack.“Mind your own fucking business, Wesley. You are the cheater ex-husband and not me. I am here enjoying my time with my wife and you have no right talking to like that in my presence. Accept that you lost and I won. she is mine and no matter what you do, I know
She would have expected this from Wesley but not Jack.What happened to him? Was he hiding something from her? Her heart couldn’t be at peace because a person doesn’t change overnight. Something was terribly wrong somewhere. she just couldn’t put her fingers to what it was?Soon, she walked down the stairs clad in a white dress with a slit on the front. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous as Jack held her hand and led her out of the house. “As always you are beautiful “he commented as Caroline looked at him and smiled. Her jaws were really starting to hurt from too many fake smiles and she wasn’t sure when it will end. “You are handsome yourself” she finally replied.The drive to the restaurant was quiet. Anyway, they never talked much when they were together unless it was something important and she was glad about that because she didn’t wish to listen to his lies.Finally, they reached the continental hotel. The same place that she was told that he had been with another woman.Yet
“Caroline, I admire your strength. Anyway, we all make mistakes. May be, you can listen to his side of the story. I have never had a real relationship so I don’t know what else to tell you “Zoe couldn’t stay mad at her for so long.“Thanks for telling me all this. I needed someone who will be on my side and not judge me.” she wiped her tears and then muttered” I am calm now, let us go and pick up my baby. Please ….no word about this to her. ““Of course, I will be loyal to you “Zoe replied with smile on her face. After they have picked up Angel, they both went back home.Unexpectedly, Jack came back home early today and he was waiting for them with a huge smile on his face. That was when she remembered that it was his birthday. she had been so preoccupied with things that she didn’t get enough time to prepare for his special day.She felt guilty, Jack did spoil her on her birthday.When Angel saw him, her face lightened and she hurriedly ran towards him with happiness. The smile that
