The following day, Jhonia received a text from Mrs. Pinnock asking her to come over after work! Jhonia thought Nearce must have told her about it and decided to go and hear her out.
“Okay, see you then.” There was no response and Jhonia thought she probably wasn't near the phone. Jhonia cleared the phone and went to work. By time it was lunch time.Everyone from the office disappeared! Jhonia stood and went to the printer to retrieve the data she needed after collecting the paper sheets she left the office… Kyhe was sitting in his office on his computer going through files transmitted from each department for development. He unscreened the glass but didn't see Jhonia, he stood up immediately."Where did she go?" Kyhe asked as he stepped forward towards the glass window looking down at his secretarial department. He smiled as he stared down at the Jhonia seat! He was lost in his own thoughts; he didn't notice Kuwain had come up and entered his officeLater that day!"Stop drinking, it's not helping." Kuwain said to kyhe who is seated inside a bar at the counter drinking. Kuwain knew Kyhe was very jealous over Jhonia but Kyhe always managed to hide it."She's happy. She’s happy with him, laughing at his not funny jokes. She didn't even call me, she didn't text me. Don't tell me to not drink, she doesn't even care about me. Bad woman." Kyhe said in a remorseful tone, he was very jealous of Alshane at the moment for being with Jhonia. While Kuwain was happily taping him to send to Jhonia.Meanwhile! Jhonia was pushing her keys into the door at the Pinnock's residence. Suddenly the door opened to her, even more surprised it was Nearce who opened the door."Don't just stand there, come in." Nearce said to Jhonia with a smile on his face, inviting her in but she stood still.“Where is she, Mrs. Pinnock I mean?” Jhonia asked him addressing Mrs. Pinnock."Come on, do you plan to stan
“Good morning.” Jhonia said after she had entered the secretarial office. However, her head was glued to her phone with a smile.“Jhonia Mr. Knight came in stunk from alcohol. Even so he was not happy! We said good morning and he glared back at us with an angry face.” Daeviann said to her surprising her. That's unlike him to come to work drunk! She explained he wasn't happy but was angry at them.“Enraged I see.” Jhonia said.“Huh? What do you see?” Daeviann asked but Jhonia just smiled as she put her phone away.“Lusinly, did you finish the draft I sent you yesterday?” Jhonia asked as she walked to her desk!“Yes, but”“But?” Jhonia cut in and asked before she could finish.“Yes, but. Mr. Knight requested the paperwork this morning.” Lusinly responded to her now like she wished to inform her from the beginning.“Okay. Back to work.” Jho
Saturday morning. The doorbell to Jhonia’s apartment ring.. She was in the middle if getting ready to go to the Picnnock’s resident. She went to get the door and surprisingly kyhe was standing there.“It’s good that you are here, we need to speak. Come in.” She said to him and invited him in. Kyhe seems to be hesitating.“What is it?” She asked him and walked back inside.“Why did i have to find out about it from the media? Everyone who knew i was giving the chance to make you mine thinks am stupid. Jhonia why?” He asked why he had to know from the media, then said to her about those who knew about his chance thinks he’s stupid. He got emotional and asked her why? Jhonia stood in confusion because she know not of what he is asking her, she just stood there staring at him.“Where are you going?” He asked in a soft tone of voice. She didn’t understand why he was like that but she didn&rsq
Time passed by and Jhonia was silent. Kyhe asked her not a single word, he held back from asking her anything at all. Nearce on the other hand called countless times. Kyhe sat with her on the couch with her. He could not just sit there and do nothing but it was all he had to do for her sake.He can not leave her by herself not now, not after her words, and he knows her mother is not with the living, but after he had witnessed her completely run after a stranger, someone who just so happened to have a look alike. He felt it was intentional but he could not say it, not to her. He would only break her more, and lead her to want answers of questions she’s not ready to ask.“She should have been alive at least.” She finally spoke and Kyhe looked at her in that instant. He has been watching Nearce calls after silenting her phone. He took her hand and put them into his.“It was a lot for me to take in, she was, she should have. Kyhe, if not for
“Back in my office you said you thought I changed my mind about marrying you. Did you really mean what you said?” Kyhe breathed in and out softly looking at her, he reminded her of what she told his mother about him making her think he changed his mind about marrying her then asked her if she meant it. Jhonia smiled at him with blooming eyes, it was the same kind of look in her eyes she had when they stayed together on her mother's birthday....There she goes with those eyes. It’s like she is asking me to burn the world down for her without saying it aloud. Oh, she's gonna kill me without having to try or say it. Kyhe’s thoughts.“Why are you looking at me like this?” Jhonia asked him, and he looked away from her.“Stop teasing me Jhonia it’s not funny.” Kyhe said, looking down at the shrimps inside the cooker. (Pat or frying pan) he didn’t want to face her one bit more knowing she’s just making f
Later that night, Jhonia wanted to take Nearce’s calls and give him a piece of her mind, but she was told by Kyhe to not say a word from earlier that day. Kyhe on the other hand could not understand what was wrong with her. She was just looking at him like an innocent child waiting for their father to lift their punishment.“Jhonia, will you... Ah, I need help!” He called her as he was saying he cut himself off and with a heavy sigh he stated his needs for help. But all Jhonia did was look at him. Kyhe looked at his watch and looked back at her.“Fine, Jhonia speak.” He added to telling her to speak after realizing what she’s doing.“Ah! I can finally.” She shouted then she smiled brightly saying, the fact that she stopped at finally made Kyhe wonder so he began turning to her. Jhonia was on top of him, her raging eyes made him flinch. She leans on him staring into his eyes, she leans into him biting her lower lip.
What do you mean your ghost girl? Who is that and what does it have to do with me?” She asked him in a strange tone, she asked another question that told him. He would better explain and leave nothing out.“So ahhh. Well, you see we first met when you ran away from home with your cousin Dave Lindow, you were returning rather. I was the driver who picked you up that morning. I also made a quick effort to get you something to eat but then you disappear leaving a note. Everyone thinks you were a ghost that I picked up, but I never stopped looking for you. Jhonia, do you realize that you were mine? Why didn’t you ask me for help? I could be yours from the beginning and you wouldn’t have so many scars to heal from.” Kyhe said as he got nervous. He pulled himself together and began telling her and reminded her who he was and how they first met.Hearing her cousin's name saddened her because she seeked out to find him but found nothing like he
Kyhe explains himself to Jhonia. After coming to an agreement they separated from each other. While, Jhonia was lying in her bed Kyhe was on the couch. Jhonia sigh loudly. Moment went and silent continued to fill the room. She got up from the bed and walked out in the hall and stare at Kyhe before she walked over to him, his eyes was closed but he knew she was hovering over him.“Jhonia.” He said her name and turned his head to her before opening his eyes and looked at her.“Sorry, I just wanted to ask if you were really going to sleep here.” She said sorry, then told him why she was there, it was to ask him a question.“Yes, Jhonia. I would rather sleep here, why? You might take me in my sleep. I want you to know that I care about you, it’s not about hitting it for me with you. Can you please understand that?” He responded to her, saying her name. He then said to her asking and answering to his own question.He sat
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
