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 will be sure to tell him about this specific rule. Here!" Mrs. Pinnock said, handing the pen to her."Hmm." Jhonia responded, taking the pen and signed her name on the contract and hand the contract back to Mrs. Pinnock."I would like to familia myself with the house, if you do not mind?" Jhonia said, telling she wants a tour in other words asking as she gets up."Of course not, please show her to her room, let her shower and come to my room then guide her as she tours herself." Mrs. Pinnock said to her and then told the maid who was standing behind the solo sofa waiting for orders, to show her to her room and show her around in other words."Yes. Mrs. Pinnock please, this way." The maid responded, addressing her then she said, showing Jhonia to the staircase."Please, address me as Ms. Jhonia if that title is really needed. I'm sure Mrs. Pinnock herself wouldn't want to be mistaken by me as her." Jhonia said, turning around from the maid and looking at Mrs. Pinnock with a smile."Address her as she wishes, please proceed." Mrs. Pinnock said, with a smile of approval of what Jhonia to the maid.The maid nodded, and walked off as Jhonia followed. She forgot she had placed her parents journal on the table where she signed the contract. The moment the memory flashes back to her, Mrs. Pinnock was already reaching for the book. Suddenly a hand slammed down on the book out of her fingers.."Please! Mrs. Pinnock, I do not intend to be rude so remember my request number 11. Do not! Touch my things, please!" Jhonia stated her please, and said to Mrs. Pinnock as she pulled the journal away from her hand reach, and raised up."It's very important to me, as it is the only thing I have left of both my parents. As there must be something that you don't let anyone touch because it belongs to your dear husband! So, this must be something that you understand well." Jhonia said to her with sadness in her eyes and then it disappeared, Jhonia reminded her of something she holds dear."I understand! It won't happen again, please go and then meet me in my room since it's your first night. Also, there will be guests here early in the morning so you might not be able to go shopping." Mrs. Pinnock said to her with a smile. That smile fades as she realizes that Jhonia was not even blinking, she quickly stood to her feet and explained herself.."Oh no, please don't take me wrong. See? I went shopping from the base of what your uncle told me. When I receive the call from another woman who also wants her daughter to get married. I placed them into my closet... I want you to come there to check if they fit." Mrs. Pinnock quickly explained herself once again to have her understand."I see, then I will see you in a few." Jhonia said, walking away from her and towards the stairs"She is weird by chance. Someone created the word weird based on someone, that person is exactly like this. Ah.. Not my issue." Jhonia said, talking to herself on Mrs. Pinnocks weirdness, as she continues up the stairs.The maid waited for her and brought her to her room. She took her bath patiently as her bathroom was huge, withholding a shower and bathtub inside. After the shower she went to Mrs. Pinnock 's room."You are here? Come in. Please!" Mrs. Pinnock asks and tells her to enter, taking her arm and pulling her into her closet."This closet is as big as your bedroom, but why?" Jhonia said to her and then asked?"Have you seen your closet? You will have to fill it with all different styles of clothing, from all deterrent kinds of designer clothes." Mrs. Pinnock said, explaining to her as she giggles at Jhonia."Here! These are all the clothes, dresses, pants suits, and of course skirts. Also, these nightwear silks and brazers and panties." Mrs. Pinnock said as he handed her a set of clothes and showed her the rest..She happily hands out her clothing on the maid's arms, she then picks out a dress and places it on Jhonia seeing if it fits. She didn't seem to like the colour so, she tried another one and another. And went on for sometime."Okay, Mrs. Pinnock it's getting late and I haven't toured the house as yet! And you also said, we would have guests coming in the morning. Let me choose myself and check the rest of the house and take a rest." Jhonia said addressing her explaining she is yet to take the tour and that she need rest because of the tomorrow coming guesses while she was smiling at Mrs. Pinnock."Right! Right, go on then. And please set up her clothes into her closet for her." Mrs. Pinnock said to the maid telling them what they should do. They nodded and left first, Jhonia followed up with them shortly.. I really thought I was going to not get along well with her, but she's actually nice. Or maybe she's acting for the good image of her son. If she's not acting! Then she have gain 1.⅙% of my trust and friendship, Jhonia thoughts.She went to her room and got dressed into a set of the nightwear, set and went to the bathroom for her parents' journal. After some time the maid returned to take her around for the house tour, she began engaging the maid into a conversation."What is your name?" Jhonia asked?"Crissian." The maid responded."How long have you been working here, Crissian?" Jhonia asked? As she toured through the house."Ten years. Mrs Pinnock found me when I had just lost my mom, my dad remarried and I couldn't continue school. She helps me with everything and offers me to go to school. I refuse because my dear mother wouldn't be here to celebrate or be proud of me with me. So I choose to work." Crissian responded to her question respectively with honesty, sharing her story briefly."I didn't ask for all these details. But you have shared it with me so, I will also share mine with you. My parents died the night I turned eighteenth and then I decided to not finish school but do something else and now I'm here. This ten years relationship…""Yes. You spoke with Mr. Pinnock, while you were in school, he promised to wait for you like you have requested. I wish I was like your Ms. Jhonia, he waited all this time for you... " Crissian continued to speak.... What the hell? Ten years ago I was ten, what kind of lie is really going on here? He waited for me, while I was in school? But I can't take it back now I have already signed the contract marriage paperwork. Shit, this story has to change. I will speak with Mrs. Pinnock before our guests come, in the morning. Jhonia thought.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
After arriving at the hotel Orean and Jhonia left the car and went into the hotel and then into the elevator, while Jhonia was busy not paying attention to what Orean is doing, he pressed the floor they were going to. The elevator ride up was completely silent. They arrive on the floor she is supposed to go with Orean's guide, and then they get off the elevator."I will stay here, waiting." Orean said when they reached the turn to Nearce room. Orean held his head down because though he warned Jhonia in his own way he wasn't sure what kind of person she really is? And this could lead to him getting fired so, he dare not meet his eyes with hers again. Jhonia walked off without a word, and because she wasn't taking notice of what Orean was doing when they were on the elevator she was unaware that they were on the top floor."Ah.." Jhonia sighs and turns the corner where she meets with a lady in heels, a red dress sticking to her body if she bends! Her rare condition would be completely e
In the morning! Jhonia. Woke up and kept herself snuggled up on the couch, she has been lying there for quite some time. She decided to close her eyes and wait for Nearce to wake up! After some time. Nearce woke up and realized Jhonia is not beside him, he then remembers he left her out on the couch."Did she really sleep there?" Nearce inquiring with himself, he quickly got up and went out to see her huddled up on the spot she sat last night! He walked over to her and at that time he realized that she had removed the jacket. He walked over closer to her, as he was reaching out to touch her."Do not touch me!" Jhonia said, stating to Nearce. he was surprised because her eyes were closed. He stepped back from her and placed his hands in his pocket."Why did you sleep here? The bed is over there, where I slept am I your husband or not?" Nearce asked Jhonia? She releases her feet and places them down into her shoe. She giggles a little. It was not one you get from a pers
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 you
One 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
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
