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 kneThe car drives calmly among another car no more than 17 feet in front. The lonely road with just two cars, the wind roar in the night like an hungry animal. “Do I really have to drive to this place, with both of you?” Jhonia asked?“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.Her body turned into her seat. She smiled once again before turning away from her daughter Jhonia, return the smile at her mother then look out the window. The darkness of lonely trees moving quickly."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 asked?The moment becomes silent and awkward. Jhonia decided to ignore her parents. She didn't seem to care about her birthday at all! “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
Jhonia arrived home after work! "I have been worried sick!" Her uncle said, slapping her across the face. She held her face looking back at her uncle from the corner of her eyes, not a single tear within them."Where have you been, Jhonia?" He asked, reaching out for her face as if he was sorry. Jhonia stepped back from him. "Jhonia I'm"“Dave overheard you talking about selling me off into marriage to pay off my parents' deaths. He wanted me to run away. Now that I have returned the sooner the better. Shall we get this over with?” Jhonia explained to him that her cousin wanted to run away after he heard the truth, but she returned and then she asked. She walked away from him, passing his wife and went to the room under the staircase which was given to her. She picked out her clothes and went out to go upstairs for a shower. She stopped halfway up the stairs. “This money you're selling me for is to pay off my parents' deaths, make sure they're here when the money is being given,” J
Two years later! Jhonia is now 20 years of age. She spent her two years learning how to fight! How to sneak and take photos of other people for blackmailing work of course, for her uncle. It became a part of her, to use evidence as a way to protect and have people do as her uncle says.She was very smart and good at what she does but that wasn't enough. The day before... She met a group of men who tried to have their ways with her but failed! The present time… Another group of men shows up at her uncle Bryane's place as she is leaving out to go to her job. "Hey! Sweet thing... How are your parents?" The man with a small tattoo on his face said to her then asked her? He moved his hands to her face and she boxes it away. “Don't touch me!” She demanded. Her uncle came out and stood watching them."You little bitch!" He said to her, as two of his men held her by both arms. He was getting ready to slap her, when she lifted her foot and kicked him, he stepped back and dropped. He pu
Jhoni-ni "Let's go!!!" He yelled and she got out of the car and walked over to him stopping herself half way. “What is happening? Why are we running away?” Jhonia asked? Her voice softened and trembled. "Let's talk in the morning... For now, let's get some rest!" Dave said to her, he walked away but she stood still. At ease but still confused! “I'm not moving a foot unless you start talking!” Jhonia said to him, Pointing at the motel and where she stood! “Not one single step!” She added! "Fine." Dave said, dropping the bags and walked back over to her. "Dad is trying to sell you into marriage so he can pay off those men claiming to be the people your parents owned!" Dave yelled out telling her everything he now knows of. He stopped half way he was so angry the veins in his neck stood out! The faint lights of the motel allow them to see each other clearly a little bit. Jhonia stood staring at him. "We are here because I don't want this for you! So both your parents are gone,
RequestsAfter the contract was signed. Bryane received his money in cash, Jhonia was pleased. Together with Mrs. Pinnock, she left after retrieving her mother and father's journal, and the watch, she never left her sight.“How do you feel?” Mrs. Pinnock asked, and Jhonia took a deep breath and finally relaxed.“I'm fine, thank you. My parent's deaths or paid I'm free from all that! I will contact my cousin as soon as possible.” Jhonia replied and said how she feels free now she will contact her cousin soon, with a smile.“That's good. Since we're going to your new home, I would like to inform you about some important details. I will go ahead then.” Mrs. Pinnock said, then explained to Jhonia and she nodded in agreement.“I'm sure, I will adapt well!” Jhonia said, looking down at her mother's journal. She took a deep breath and relaxed her mind. “Go ahead,” Jhonia added.“1. My son is always busy, as his wife of ten years relationship, 2 years together and 8 years of marriage. My son
After some time Jhonia sat with mrs. Pinnock in the living room."Jhonia, This is the contract. It stood for five years. By then you and my son will be in love with each other. I will destroy this contract between both of you. You can read through it and sign it." Mrs. Pinnock said, handing Jhonia the contract."Well, then I will read through it carefully. After signing it, I will return it to you." Jhonia said to her as she puts the contract aside."If you don't mind. Please read and sign it here then give it back to me, that would be splendid." Mrs. Pinnock said, with a smile."I see. No problem." Jhonia responded to her. Jhonia began with reading the contract. After some time she placed it down on the table before them."I see you have in place that he should not as I should not cheat on each other. I hope that your son will follow the rules of this contract. Your pen please!" Jhonia said, telling she hopes her son follows the rules as well, holding her hand out for the pen."I wil
Jhonia woke up and relaxed herself in bed a bit before she went and took her bath. After she took her shower she got dressed and went downstairs."Where is everyone?" Jhonia asked? She is looking around but it seems everyone is still asleep!"Did I wake up early?" Jhonia asks herself as she looks around after, she realized she decided to go back up to her room and check the time.It was 6 AM She then went and knocked on Mrs. Pinnock's room door, there was no answer. She went back downstairs and started baking, banking dishes. After some time the maids began waking and getting themselves ready to begin working. After checking all the rooms, including Jhonia's, she was missing. Crissian, the maid she spent the tour with, rushed into Mrs. Pinnock's room."Madam. Ms. Jhonia is gone." Crissian explained herself in a panic tone of voice."What? How is this possible?" Mrs. Pinnock asked in shockShe was getting dressed when the maid informed her. She hurriedly put on her bedroom slippers, as
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 b
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
