The following day, 9:30 AM. Jhonia paces her room while waiting for Orean. She decided to sit on the extended couch while she waited but after some time Orean had yet to show up! Jhonia lay down and soon fell into deep sleep!“Yes, this is really important and you're turning.. Huh? It's past midnight you already did. Happy birthday, sweetie.” Her mother said, smiling at her."There's a big surprise waiting for you, my Jhoni-ni. You can see Charles, he's your favourite cousin is he not?" Her father said to her with a smile and then asked her.“Dad? Can we turn around?” Jhonia asked."Why?" Her father asks with curiosity.“I suddenly don't like the ide”Jhonia was cut off by the sudden hit from another car suddenly hitting their car from behind. Her father began speeding up and away from the other car that is quickly catching up to them.“They found us.” Her mother said, in a panicking tone of voi
The following day! Josephine paced her room, hitting her phone against her palm!“What is the matter with you?” Her mother asked?“Huh? Oh mom, how are you feeling?”Josephine asked as she walked over to her mother as she sat on the couch and asked her.“What happened this time?” Her mother asks her, Josephine sighs and sits closer to her mother.“I always thought there was something weird about him, but he treated us so well after we lost everything... I pushed my doubts aside. Ah! Now we know the truth. But the money I'm paying mom, they're demanding more. We could give them the hotel but it's still under his name. We will have to move from here soon, the person I can ask for help? She doesn't know that we're in the same company, working. Mom, what do we do if she says no to helping us?" Josephine said to her, about her stepfather. However, now that they know the truth she has been paying off his death
Kuwain seated in the car scanning the surroundings as he noticed all types of men, smoking, what seemed like beggars, homeless, and jogging."Well, ain't he something? He sent men here already... Who exactly is he and what does protecting her get him?" Kuwain asked himself and said taking a moment, he sat in the car watching questions about the benefit of protecting Jhonia."Is he climbing the tree?" Kuwain asked, looking at one of the men going up in a tree a good distance away from him. His attention quickly turns to Jhonia and her driver, after shaking his head! He watched for some time before he realized she had been standing there for a while! His phone pings."This is her old home, she's not safe there get her out by any means necessary. Her uncle is not someone to be trusted!" The messenger finally sent him a message. Kuwain got out of the car immediately and realized Jhonia was already stepping inside the house. Jhonia and Orean who h
Jhonia and Kuwain arrived at work together and took the elevator together."Why am I bothering?" Kyhe questioned himself as he watched the elevator doors close. He shook his head and went to his elevator which takes him up and to his office he walked... When he entered Kuwain was already waiting for him."So yesterday someone tried to kill your Secretary!" Kuwain stated as Kyhe sat down and immediately he screened off the glass and began looking at Jhonia. After some time, Kuwain finally spoke!"She is terrified but she acts as if she is fine." Kuwain said to Kyhe who is still looking down at Jhonia! He sighed and turned to Kuwain."She is worried I can see that but, it's not my business... That she was shot at! Also, why-- You know what? I don't want to know! Also, go to this department of the company and find out who is setting up Azerjie for the ads and commercial she's doing, someone inside or outside of the company knows things they're not supposed to.
The following day! Kyhe arrived at the office… "Good morning, Mr. Knight.” Everyone except for Jhonia said to Kyhe, she was not there! Kyhe stops and stares for a moment with wonders of where she is? Before walking away heading to his office as he opened the door, Jhonia was placing files down on his desk!"Avoid having to give them to me? I also demand you stop playing dull with me, Jhonia. I'm not speaking to a mute." Kyhe asked her. Then shortly demand Jhonia stop playing dumb with him!“If you know it, why ask it? I will be at my desk if you need me. Ah. Is the office mine or yours?” Jhonia ask him then, said as she began walking towards the door when she realized Kyhe is still standing there, she sigh and ask."It's mine, why?" Kyhe asked, looking at her!“Then, please excuse me, I would like to go back to work!” Jhonia said to him, Kyhe then stepped inside and went to his desk! Jhonia went down to her desk and began work
After some time Kyhe was about to get up from his seat when his door was knocked on, he continued to be seated."Come in." He responded to the knock on the door."Good afternoon, President Knight, Secretary Smith, seems to believe something is wrong with your office phone. So, I was called here to fix it, that is if it's broken?" The man said as he entered, then asked? Kyhe looked up immediately!"Ah!! Yes, it's broken." Kyhe responded to the man with awe."I will replace it and get this one fixed by tomorrow evening then I will return it, if necessary." The male companion said, as he began to remove the new one from its box to set it up!“She was staring at me, and I asked why? She said, oh nothing. But as she walked to her desk she mumbled “President mistress.” Kyhe remembers how Jhonia repeats Emmari words, with a smile on his face."Can I use it right now?" With a smile Kyhe asked."Yes. Sir, go right ahead!" The man res
Jhonia sat with Mrs. Pinnock at the breakfast table while she ate. While her mind was elsewhere, staring out into space, Mrs. Pinnock noticed her absent-mindedness and wondered why.“Is it because you were shot at?” Mrs. Pinnock asked her as Nearce was entering the dining room, in shock he stood and looked at Jhonia."What?!!" He asked in shock, shouting to shake Jhonia from her lack of reality!“Huh? No!” Jhonia said and stood up! Nearce grabbed her arm, turning her facing him!"No! You are smiling, do you think dying is a good thing? You got shot at and I'm lost to know that! Why?" Nearce repeated her no to her, then asked before stating and asking. “What is”“Nearce.” Jhonia was cut off by Mrs. Pinnock!"What mom, what?" Nearce asked his mother who called him? He was angrier than Mrs. Pinnock was when she heard about it! "Who was it?" Nearce asked and Jhonia finally looked up, meeting
After some time, they were still standing there looking down."She's gone!" Kyhe said to Kuwain."I know! If she was the only woman on the planet? I would be sure to be the richest man and trust me, I would get married every year or month, maybe every week." Kuwain responded to Kyhe, who had left him standing there and went to his desk to go through the file. While Jhonia returns to Nearce's car. She entered and put on her seatbelt afterwards Nearce turned the car around and back to where they had stopped before!“Why are we back here?” Jhonia asked? Looking over at him."To report the matter." Nearce said, getting out of the car.“What? No, there is nothing to report and why would you make it your decision to report it?” Jhonia asked as she got out of the car and asked him."Because you are my wife. Until our contract ends you're still my wife, no matter what I have done." Nearce said to her, Jhonia felt like he was admitting th
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
