Later that day, Jhonia was helping the maids clean up!
"Jhonia dear, don't you think you should stop and have a few words with me?" Mrs. Pinnock called for her and asked. Jhonia then turned around even though Mrs. Pinnock was smiling she could not hide the displeased look in her eyes."Since I started it, I wanted to finish it. Mrs. Pinnock, it won't happen again." Jhonia said, drying her hands and leaving the maids to finish up on their own. She smiled and walked over to Mrs. Pinnock."At some point, you will have to let me do something. With my parents, we share everything we do, and I don't want to just sit around looking pretty." Jhonia said, explain how and what things was like with her parents before she lose them, she stood in front of Mrs. Pinnock, then she took a deep breath and Mrs. Pinnock looked at Jhonia, she raised her hand to remove the loose hair in her face but she retrieved her hand quickly."Jhonia, I know the life you have had and I also know that your uncle is a bastard." Mrs. Pinnock said, telling what she knows and they both giggled. They then turned and walked towards the living room."Jhonia. Think of shopping as a way of doing something for me, get a new hairstyle and get your hair treated by professionals. Get a facial regardless of your beauty, get your hands and feet done, walk with confidence they say. Haha, choose a car you would like to be... In fact, I think I should do such. You need to live like today is your last day. Get out, know people, know the city it would not hurt, and get used to wearing heels, and not those flat shoes. Okay?" Mrs. Pinnock said as they had seated down together on the sofa. She turned to Jhonia, who was looking at her like she's crazy. She continued to glance at Jhonia regardless, as she explained these things she should be doing and to see it as doing something."Okay, fine, live freely. Do nothing. Meet ladies with the same lifestyle. Talk about... No, that one is not happening." Jhonia said, referring to talking about their husbands' wealth and doings was not going to happen after she agreed on doing nothing and living freely."That's fine, I'm so happy." Mrs. Pinnock said, hugging Jhonia happily forgetting that she shouldn't touch her but she was even more terrified when Jhonia returned the hug."It's something I should get used to... your son said he would be hugging me a lot." Jhonia said, taking a paused and then told her, her voice sounded pleased and Mrs. Pinnock was overjoyed."I'm really happy, now that I have a daughter that I have always wanted. I hope that even if you decide to leave you will always see me as a mother figure to you." Mrs. Pinnock said, telling her how happy she was but Jhonia could hear it in her voice, and suddenly Jhonia hugged her tighter than before."Okay. Mother calling you, when I start. I really hope that's fine, as well as going shopping and facials, etc, with me?" Jhonia said, tell her what she would like, a way of saying she's up for the change, she pulled back from their hug and asked with a smile."Really?" Mrs. Pinnock asked with surprise, she didn't seem to believe what is happening because Jhonia requests were very clear to her, Mrs. Pinnock."Really. We should start with learning how to wear those heels first, also if there's someone I want to visit in a few weeks I hope that's fine with you." Jhonia said, telling she's agreeing to the needs of hers, with a little smile. Mrs. Pinnock pulls her into another hug."You will have to visit my son in his hotel room tonight, both of you will stay there and return here in the morning because he will be at work! Also Jhonia, this marriage is a contract as you know! But I'm not certain my son will see it that way I""It's okay, we will discuss it together. But I have to use your car until you pick mine."Jhonia said, cutting off Mrs. Pinnock. She nodded in approval to Jhonia using her car. After some time Jhonia got ready wearing a pants suit of color deep blue, she decided to let her hair down, she had parted her hair unevenly and placed the lesser hair behind her right ear. Standing in the mirror this side of her reminds Jhonia of her late mother when she's dressed up."If you were here I would have made sure to get into the best school and make you so proud mom, since I couldn't finish school this life has found its way to me. I paid off yours and dads death and I'm going to live a happy life with this new family given to me." Jhonia said, looking into the mirror at herself she spoke to her mother knowing she wasn't. Mrs. Pinnock, who stood outside and overheard everything.. I had similar words for my mother who had passed when I married Nearce's father. Then he disheartens me and hurt me constantly like it was something amusing and I sat by and watched him, hurt me over and over again until the day he found out he was ill. He weakens my heart to him and made me love him only to have him leave for the beyond. I only hope my son Nearce isn't like him, Mrs. Pinnock thinks.She knocked on the door after an intense exhale."Come in." Jhonia said, and she entire the room with a smile."So beautiful, I like it. Are you ready?" Mrs. Pinnock complimented her saying and then asked? Jhonia nodded and picked up her purse and phone. She looked at herself one last time, she smiled and walked over to Mrs. Pinnock."Hmm, thanks for the purse and the phone. I have never had a phone because I could not afford one, now I do. Ah.. Don't worry, I will master it in no time!" Jhonia said, thanking and saying she will get a hang of it, together they took off down the stairs. While Mrs. Pinnock's driver awaits for Jhonia outside, she packs the dishes neatly together, Mrs. Pinnock gives her the address and she walked towards the door after hugging Mrs. Pinnock."I like that after today, I will be able to hug you a lot. I also hope that you would not do the 'maids' work for them, in order for them to keep their job." Mrs. Pinnock said, telling her she will be hugging her and that she should do the maids job because they need it. Jhonia nodded as she was walking away. She opened the door and went out... Mrs. Pinnock, driver quickly rushed over and took the small package bag from her then helped her into the car. After some time driving towards the hotel."He doesn't deserve you, Ms. Jhonia, you are too good for someone like him, you deserve better." Jhonia narrowed her eyebrows looking up from the phone, as the driver said to her, looking back at her from the rearview mirror. Jhonia stared at him with confusion."What's your name?" Jhonia asks? Still, looking at him. He focuses on the road for a moment."My name is Orean, I hope you haven't taken my words to another level of expectation." Orean said his name, then told her hope glancing through the mirror for a moment at her."If my husband doesn't deserve me, do you?" Jhonia said and asked angrily? The driver slows down and stops the car. He then turns into his seat making eye contact with Jhonia."I really hope that you didn't misjudge me trying to tell you to be careful, Ms. Jhonia, your husband can be innocent looking and people who are innocent don't always try to make things the way they should be. I have someone I love, you're beautiful inside out I will admit that. But I can't say the same for your husband." Orean said, explaining to her that he only wishes that she be extra careful of him, innocent looking people aren't innocent. He then turned back into his seat, started the car, and drove off! Jhonia sat confused. She felt he was warning her about her husband, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what he meant.After arriving at the hotel Orean and Jhonia left the car and went into the hotel and then into the elevator, while Jhonia was busy not paying attention to what Orean is doing, he pressed the floor they were going to. The elevator ride up was completely silent. They arrive on the floor she is supposed to go with Orean's guide, and then they get off the elevator."I will stay here, waiting." Orean said when they reached the turn to Nearce room. Orean held his head down because though he warned Jhonia in his own way he wasn't sure what kind of person she really is? And this could lead to him getting fired so, he dare not meet his eyes with hers again. Jhonia walked off without a word, and because she wasn't taking notice of what Orean was doing when they were on the elevator she was unaware that they were on the top floor."Ah.." Jhonia sighs and turns the corner where she meets with a lady in heels, a red dress sticking to her body if she bends! Her rare condition would be completely e
In the morning! Jhonia. Woke up and kept herself snuggled up on the couch, she has been lying there for quite some time. She decided to close her eyes and wait for Nearce to wake up! After some time. Nearce woke up and realized Jhonia is not beside him, he then remembers he left her out on the couch."Did she really sleep there?" Nearce inquiring with himself, he quickly got up and went out to see her huddled up on the spot she sat last night! He walked over to her and at that time he realized that she had removed the jacket. He walked over closer to her, as he was reaching out to touch her."Do not touch me!" Jhonia said, stating to Nearce. he was surprised because her eyes were closed. He stepped back from her and placed his hands in his pocket."Why did you sleep here? The bed is over there, where I slept am I your husband or not?" Nearce asked Jhonia? She releases her feet and places them down into her shoe. She giggles a little. It was not one you get from a pers
The news was all over the city by evening, Mrs. Pinnock canceled Jhonia meeting the other wives of her status as she seemed to be angry with her identity being leaked to the press but she was in her room learning how to master the cruelty of heels."Ah... Why is it so hard?" Jhonia asked as she took a break, she took a seat on the single sofa."Keep practicing Ms. Jhonia, and you will master it in no time." Crissian said, with a smile Jhonia looked up at her standing across the room. Jhonia returned the smile and checked her phone."I can't believe they still got a photo of me, thanks for taking my size and went to get the shoes without anyone knowing for me." Jhonia said, then she thanked Crissian, she smiled and nodded while Jhonia kept checking her phone. Crissian cleared her throat, and Jhonia looked up from the phone at her."Actually. It was Orean, Mrs. Pinnock's driver. Who went out to buy them, I just explained to him the ones Mrs. Pinnock would want you
One week later, at Rea cafe.Jhonia sat inside the cafe looking around! Looking at all the women that come in and leave. All different styles of dressing yet she seemed to disapprove of them all until a lady walked into the cafe wearing a skirt covering her leg, a coat just as long as her skirts, her inside shirt sleeves extending to her wrist. Jhonia, sat up properly watching her. As she was leaving after receiving her coffee, she notices Jhonia staring at her, a lady in inexpensive clothing seated across her a miner distance between herself and the lady. She walked over to the window viewing where Jhonia sat."You have been staring at me, for a while. Can I know why?" The lady said, sitting down in the empty seat across from Jhonia and asking. She was so caught up in staring at her Jhonia didn't realize how close and comfortable the woman had become."Excuse me? You can't sit there!" Jhonia said, raising an eyebrow at the woman, she chuckles."I'm sorry, hehe! You were staring at me
Jhonia woke up with a single arm wrapped around her waist. She immediately removed it and sat up then stood from the bed, she turned facing the bed looking at him."Ah..."Jhonia sighed, and walked away from the room and into the bathroom, after some time she returned from the bathroom and Nearce was still asleep! She glanced at him and went to her wardrobes, after getting dressed.Wearing a chubby sweater shirt with a black leather jacket designed on the back, the front appearance is shadowy style, a pair of deep blue jeans with a pair of black heels.She leaves the room, not caring to look if Nearce was still sleeping are not! At the table with Mrs. Pinnock who keeps glancing at Jhonia often."Is something wrong, mom?" Jhonia asked? As she had noticed Mrs. Pinnock constantly stares at her."Jhonia, this is not fit. But okay, if you are staying home of course. You stay dress""I'm going out actually. Mother-in-law dressing up every day is not what I am used to. I'm trying to live by
Jhonia woke up and realized the outside was still darkened. She wondered why she was awake for no reason? She sat up and looked at the time. 5.:00 AM. Jhonia stood from the bed and went downstairs. While Nearce was on the phone inside their closet."I'm sorry, but understand that I can't see you anymore. If my wife finds out she might leave and she won't take the blame for me, let's end it here! I gave you money so just find someone else." Nearce apologized and explained over the phone.“You promise to love me forever, Nearce, you are leaving me for a woman you have not yet touched, you bastard! I will not accept it, you most, you will return to me.” The female responded to him and said to him, she was quite angry. She demands he return to her.“I can't anymore, sometimes we make promises we didn't know we could keep! Don't do anything stupid. I will call you tomorrow to check on you. Okay? Go back to bed!” Nearce said, after hanging up the call! He walked from his part of the closet
Later that day!"So you got married to pay off your parents' death. And then you left because your contract husband is accusing you? Also, did you guys like to get married with a pastor and rings?" The doctor said, trying to make sense of it and asked? Jhonia sat up on the bed looking at him.“Do I need to go over the details? Also, I want to know why you are not working?” Jhonia asked? As she stood up from the bed and walked over to where he sat in a chair."I'm on lunch of course, do you plan to go back? I mean, it's now your home but if you"“I have to... I signed the contract. It stood for five years and we are barely making it through the first. My friend is coming. I will stay with her for a few days, and then return. Did you know his mother said, we would be in love and she would destroy the contract in front of us. But I doubt it.” Jhonia said, explaining to him that she has to go back, telling she will stay with a friend for a few days before she turned away from him and walk
HumiliatedNext day! Jhonia was inside the kitchen of the hotel, where she stayed the night! She gets Josephine trying to be step dad to allow her work in the kitchen for the day. Even so Josephine, had gone shopping to get her clothes. Meanwhile, at the hospital!"What brings you here, Knight?" Dr. Jea asked? His fellow friend's presence was yet a surprising one."There is not much work in the office, so I decided to visit but since you don't want to have me here... Then goodbye." Kyhe said to him explaining, there is not much work in the office as he began turning around to leave Dr. Jea, grabbed his arm stopping him."Both of them are so alike, I wonder if there are blood relations between the two of them?! I didn't say I didn't want to see you... Just surprising just like Smith, why are you so cold and for God sake can remove your hairs? It's covering your handsomely face, might find a woman you know to marry to and""I told you, I like that girl I met about a month ago, I can't s
Kyhe was yet to get his question out as it was forgotten about with other things. The following day Jhonia decided to go by the office knowing Kyhe would not be there until noon.“Hi Jhonia-”“We need to talk!”She stared at Josephine, who lost her smile in an instant with Jhonia’s tone of voice.Jhonia made her way to the conference room where she took a seat at the head of the table. The CEO’s seat only Josephine sits there when having a small meeting with her team. Jhonia on the other hand sat there and that was surprising for Josephine.“I have known you for a long time, Josie, but I never expected this. I know you’re so well, so I’m going to ask you to tell me. Yesterday I asked you to come with me to the after party for whoever won the contract. You refused because you had someone to do dirty work, or did you have something else more important to do?”Josephine kept silent because she kne
Nearce was not happy that Sky received the contract, but he was too calm about it in Kaylia's eyes. While to others he is a businessman who accepts that his company was not chosen. Even with a smile on his face he congratulated Kyhe for his hard work and great achievement.He left the building, but he did not leave the location. Time passed and people were leaving. He was notified of the after party at another location. He thought Jhonia would be there and so he decided to go.Later that evening.Jhonia and the girls met up, they were all celebrating how good she is becoming more and more beautiful. She smiles now that she has Kyhe in her life.“That reminds me, I haven’t seen Kuwain in a while. It’s like he disappears.” Jhonia spoke of Kuwain for she hadn’t seen him and that she never asked to know why.“That’s because he is being the CEO of High View. Apparently, Mr. Knight had him brought in disguise for his cousi
Hours later.Alshane had taken the seat between Nearce and Kyhe, to signify he would be the one handling the contract. Mrs. Maniak didn’t want to show herself just yet for it would upset Jhonia.She would not want to see Kyhe walk away from what she would be asking of him, so it would be best to lay low until the public side of the contracts were signed by both parties.“Why is it like this thought?” Kaylia asked, referring to Nearce, but his eyes were stuck on Jhonia the whole time he heard not a word Kaylia spoke out.Jhonia, who was walking around and doing the necessary things needed on their hand, she was now finished with and began looking for Kyhe who should be seated but was not there.“Looking for me, my love?” His words startled her, she twirls around into his arms.“Please, be careful and be sure not to hurt yourself. I have finished with the other stuff. So, can now come and take your seat next to me where
The day off the contract signing decision. The place of the event was already picked and announced.It was like a celebrity came tethering with all the news teams and cameras about.Jhonia hesitated to leave Kyhe’s car after seeing the cameras etc. At that moment, Kyhe held her hand with a gentle squeeze. She glances up at him and returns the smile.“I know you’re a bit, because of the cameras but I’m sure it’s fine, trust me.” He said to her with surety that she wouldn’t have to panic or anything of the sort. She sighed softly and proceeded to exit the car.She went towards the entrance of the building with Kyhe a few steps behind. While on his phone he bumped into her and came to notice she was staring instead of continuing towards the building.“What is the matter?” He asked her.“Are you alright?” he asked with concern.“Jhoni-”“I knew it. But for sure I t
“Ugh. I thought it would never stop.” She groaned then said looking down at him.Kyhe glanced up at her. Jhonia wears a brown leather skirt above her knees. A split exposing her thigh, a black top barely hiding her breath. He was drooling over her but seeing her like this made him feel like she has two personalities.“How could you?” he yelled, asking her with a serious face.Jhonia walked closer to him with a smile. Her light touch of make-up makes her face sparkle. His nose was bleeding again.“Not again Kyhe. If you can handle me naked, you-”“So, it was you.” Azerjie said, cutting her off.“Huh?” Kyhe asked in surprise, looking at Azerjie.“I asked her if she was the one making you all glowy happy, but she pretended like it wasn’t her. And it’s not like he can’t handle you naked. It’s because you look different, sex appealing, and he can’t touch beca
“I thought you said revenge wasn’t your thing.” Josephine said to Jhonia, who looked up at her at that instance.“It’s not. At least not for me. Josephine, my friends are now involved. Nearce is going out of his way to make sure their husbands fall. These girls already had a hard life while others are having it easy-”“You too had a hard life Jhonia. You almost died. But how many time does someone need to go at you or how many hurt do you have to go through-”“That’s enough. I expected better from you Josephine. Are you not her friend too? Would you rather she watches you get hurt and fallen apart than help you?”Kyhe intervened between them as he realized what Josephine was doing. Even after Jhonia telling her that she is willing to be revengeful for Nearce is doing this to hurt her by hurting her friends.Jhonia's attention turned to Kyhe when he asked his question. And in that moment, she r
The following day, Jhonia pace her room on the phone while Kyhe was making breakfast for them both.“I don’t understand. Please, tell me what could possibly stop you and your husbands from showing up like I asked.” Furiously she spoke with her friends for the sake of their husband’s company.“We are sorry-”“What I want to hear is what happened, not that you’re sorry. If you don’t want my help, say so. Kyhe waited for you guys.” She cut them off as she didn’t want to apologize but seek what happened.“It’s not like that. Iaw, we do need you; we just can’t be bothered to take a bracelet that doesn’t belong to us. We would rather put it back and receive it because where’s the fun in that, right?” Madiea responded and called her by their nickname for her. She felt something was wrong but when Madiea spoke in code confusing everyone, Jhonia went back in the past. (Ch
“So, do you want to talk about it?” Jhonia looked over at him and asked.Kyhe stared at her like he hadn’t seen her in years. With a smile he walked over and hugged her.“Can you tell me what she meant?” He asked her after hugging her.Jhonia wondered what he was asking about. But she returned the hug hoping he was going to say something, but he didn’t.“What who mean?” She asked him.Kyhe pulled back from the hug and walked over to her couch bed. He took a seat and waited for her to come and sit next to him.“What is up with you? Don’t answer that. I wanted to tell you, I will accept your offer but after the make-up deal is yours. Also, I finally decided how I was going to take down Baco. So, please tell me you did not do away with the paperwork of their contract.” Jhonia asked as she made her first step walking over to him, she then told not to answer. She went on to tell hi
Meanwhile, at Jhonia’s place.“You left me, you fucking left me with no one to turn to and no one to depend on. Even when I had been, being strong for myself and protecting myself! I still needed you. So, why tell me why?” Jhonia cried out telling him what he did to her even though she was strong and protective on her own. She needed him, but he wasn’t there, and she needed to know why.“I shouldn’t have left you; I know. I should have told you; I know. I hurt you; I know. But I had no time to do it, Augu”“Don’t you call me that! I hate you.” Her cold manner surprised him when she spoke, her heart felt pain because of her own sentence, her eyes told him she wished to take it back, but it was already said.“Calmness makes you have full control. Jhonia, why are you lashing out of control like this?” He said to her as he stepped to her and asked her, reaching out for her hand.Nearce
