The following afternoon. Jhonia was inside her own apartment sleeping in her bed, while Mrs. Pinnock was doing laundry for her, and cooking. Mrs. Pinnock knew just how tired she was, but she was happy that she was asleep. After some time, she begins searching through Jhonia’s things and soon finds what she seeks.
An old looking notebook from a box of other books inside Jhonia’s closet. She opened the book and saw what she was not expecting. She flipped through some of the pages in shock. She sat on her legs and soon began to tear up. She returned the book and placed back the box, she continued to do what she was doing.Time passed and Jhonia woke up, but she was alone in the bed. She sat up after a minute and then got up. She went to the bathroom and cleaned up and came out, but she heard no sound of Mrs. Pinnock and thought she must be in the kitchen. Jhonia spread her bed and decided to take a shower, after taking her shower she got dressed and came out lookiTime passed and Kyhe arrived at the apartment. He knocked on the door, then waited. Jhonia went and got the door, she was already dressed in jeans pants, work blouse, and flat shoe.“You’re early.” She said to him, and he just hugged her with a sigh of relief.“I was calling, why didn’t you pick my calls?” he asked, while still hugging her. Jhonia pulled back and looked at him with a smile. He looked behind her and saw Orean and Jae, Jae gave a ‘no’ signal. Telling Kyhe that he didn’t get through to her.“I am here to take you to mom. After I told her you were coming over, she sent me here to send you back early.” He explained to her and closed the door behind him.He gave a small nod to Jae. Jhonia had nodded and walked over to her phone, she picked it and powered it on after some time the phone was ringing her ears with notifications. She waved it to him.“I didn’t ignore you, th
Much later that day Jhonia was inside her bathroom, taking a shower when she heard the door closing. She turned off the shower and stepped outside the bathtub.“Kyhe, is that you?” She asked but got no response. She quickly wrapped herself into a towel and stepped outside the bathroom, no one was in sight, and she sighs. Thinking that the idea she is thinking is not so.She heard the sounds once more coming from her kitchen, she turned back from the bedroom and walked to the Kitchen area of her apartment. There stood Kyhe going through her cupboard. “What are you doing?” She asked him, forgetting that she is within only a towel and the water from her shower is running down her body drip by drip.“Are you seducing me?” He asked her instead of responding to her question. she gave him a questioning look. “I was looking for a bottle of wine but didn’t find any, so I kept looking.” He added telling her what he was doing and explained he kept looking because he wasn’t finding any.“Top le
The following morning Jhonia woke up to Kyhe, looking down at her with a smile on his face. She closed her eyes and turned her back to him.“What are you doing?” Kyhe asked her and she turned her head a bit to him. She sighs and turns around to him in full.“For what did you woke up a 4 AM, watching me sleep for?” Jhonia asked him instead of answering to his question.“Because you’re mine. Because I can now hold your hands in public, do you know how bad I wanted to touch you? Also, because you are so innocent and needy you shed tears because you thought I didn’t want to do it with you.” He said to her with a smiled as he explained asking her if she knows how bad he wanted to touch her when everyone is around. He added that she was innocent but needy and that she cried in thought of him not wanting to do it with her, her memories of that came back to her.“Ah… Don’t remind me.” She shou
Kyhe and Jhonia showered and got dressed before leaving.“Do you plan to go in with me, holding your hand? Will you change your mind when we arrive at the office?” Kyhe asked her but she was just looking at him at the moment. The elevator stopped and they stepped off together. Kyhe noticed Orean and turned his head looking at Jhonia.“Really babe?” Kyhe added asking her really with babe at the end.“Okay, Kyhe listened to me for a moment and tried to understand that. I may be living away from Nearce but to the public I’m still his wife. I already filed for the divorce and so on, you know this, but he has not yet received it or signed it. Tuesday we will be meeting the girls and their husbands to plan how we are going to save them with interest. I can’t have you doing this for free, and when Baco falls he will receive the paperwork. It will be a good hit for taking down two things at once.” Jhonia said to him
It was noon when Kyhe woke up on the extended sofa inside his office, there a bottle of water on the small table in front of the couch. He sat up holding his head from a splitting headache. He looked up at his desk where he saw a bunch of files. His memories of Jhonia speaking to him were vivid.“Kyhe? Hey, look at me! I chose you. There was never a choice to begin with but since you made one, I want you to know that I chose you.”“I had no idea what was happening. After I found out… I thought she would want to know. But then I didn’t want to see her leave to be by his side, it would be my fault.” Kyhe came to his senses and said to himself, he was unaware of Jhonia being at his desk working. She listened to him, spoke with himself and realized that it would hurt him the same way she was hurt to know Nearce would go to another woman instead of her.“I had no intention of offering any kind of help to him, Kyhe. When you’
The following day! Jhonia arrived at work but because she didn’t see Kyhe, she thought he was still holding her to what he said about giving her the company shares.“Jhonia, I will not speak with you if you don’t agree to this offer of mine.” Kyhe said her, she looked at him and smirk.“No, and it’s still going to be no, an hour or day from now and today. I don’t want it.” She responded to him and explained she won’t change her mind.“Fine. I have nothing else to give for all you did for me. I think this would be a good thing since I’m Sky and Sky is me. If it’s still no, then I won’t speak with you.” Kyhe agreed with her then said to her, telling her why he wants to give her the shares. He adds he won’t speak with her.She remembers him telling her he would not speak with her if she didn’t take it. Jhonia went to his office, and he was not there. She retur
The doorbell rang and Kyhe got up from the couch and brought his snack to the kitchen. His plans were to make Jhonia think he’s not eating, and she is to be blamed for it. The maid went and opened the door letting Jhonia and Kuwain inside. After entering the house. Jhonia came face to face with someone who paused her completely, it was as if she was frozen in time.“Jhonia, are you okay? You suddenly look a bit, am not sure what to call it.” Kuwain called and asked her, as he claimed about why he asked his question.It was as if she was stuck in time of what was playing before her eyes. Someone she knows and holds dearly like a father, a teacher from the past, someone she thought she would never see again. He is seated on the couch in the hallroom of the Knights home with none other than Kyhe’s father, Mr. Knight.“Jhonia. Hey, are you hearing me?” Kyhe returned from the kitchen and saw Jhonia, he called her name and when she
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
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
