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 youOne 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
The masked kissThe following day! Jhonia waited until Nearce left for work before she got up from the bed! When she got up from bed, Mrs. Pinnock was standing out on the other side of the room. Jhonia, stared her up and down with a smirk as she then walked past her and heading into the closet.“Jhonia”“Don't! Don't you dare... And this goes for everyone including your perfect son, who wants a perfect wife, don't ever say my name. I am worried it might be too much for upper-going rich people like you and your son.” Jhonia said, cutting her off was too common for her and her son, but it also goes for everyone else inside the house, she speaks with anger in her tone.“Jhonia” She called her name, Jhonia quickly walked back to her. She was surprised by the sudden movement!“Did I make myself clear?” Jhonia asked? She stared right into Mrs. Pinnock's eyes, telling her, she was dead serious about what she had said, Mrs. Pinnock nodded.“Good. Now, henceforth I don't want your son inside t
The next day, Mrs. Pinnock sends one of the maids called Nearce down for breakfast.“Stay and have breakfast!” She said to him when he arrived in the living room.“Sit. While Jhonia showers, let me send you a little information... You were worried about a competitor well now, you have one. Last night at the party Jhonia was in a hurry to get to the third door of the left entrance of the parking lot. When she bumped into Kyhe Knight, the CEO of SKY Company, he spent the rest of the night looking for her. By then she had already left. If you don't change whatever ways you have? You are going to lose her and to quite a competitor... In business and love.”Mrs. Pinnock said to him as he sat there and began remembering his boldness with his sleep behind the third door of which Jhonia was heading to. His mother explains to him how sky CEO is now very interested in Jhonia, and he would be Quite the competitor, not only in business but now with his wife, whom he is neglecting. His mother had
Few days later at the Rea cafe.“I want to leave there but I can't! You weren't there when he came to get me, do you know it wasn't the first time he reminded me clearly, just how poor and parents less I am. Mrs. Pinnock, wants me to finish the contract but if I do? There is a chance he might get to me and I will fall into his trap and of course, sleep with him too.” Jhonia explained how Nearce reminds her she’s broke and without parents and her wants for leaving the Pinnock's households, but she can’t as Mrs. Pinnock wants her to finish the contract. She shyly looked down at the table that separated her and Josephine.“Are you by chance, still a vir Ahem. Closed?” Josephine asked, looking at her questioning her sexual lifestyle. Jhonia waited for a few seconds, before she nodded her head in approval of the question Josephine asked her?“Hahaha! Sorry, I won't laugh hehe, really? How old are you? 16.” Josephine laughed as she could not hold back even after she said, she won't, still 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
