JANE's POV I still didn't say a word to Jaxson because there were no words for him. I just smiled in such a way that only my right cheek was lifted, I bent my head back to my phone, and I wondered if the earth would open and swallow me at that point. I was so shy and I wondered why that happened. I was just wishing that he would close his eyes and sleep because, truthfully, staying with Jaxson in one space was weird; it felt like the room was compressing. I wish I had the superpowers to teleport myself to another ward entirely. I do not care whose ward I would be appearing in, but as long as I was away from Jaxson, I would be ok. “I mean, Jane, thank you for being kind enough to stay here with me. I wouldn't have done that if I were in your shoes but you did it. You are a very kind woman. “You are welcome; just focus on recovering.My voice was almost shaky when I spoke to Jaxson. I don’t know how I managed to conceal it but I did. We exchanged looks for a while; I didn’t know how
JANE's POV My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw her, I thought she heard all of my conversation with Esther and Keana, I was looking for a better lie to tell in case she asked me of anything because if know how inquisitive she can be, but it turned out that she only came out to take a call and her ears were blocked with her earpiece, she was pressing her phone, she didn’t even mind what I was doing, she was just focused on her phone, it looked like someone was making her angry, I walked past her and went back to Jaxson’s ward, he was done with his food at this point and he was laying down with his eyes shut, I thought he was sleeping and sat down quietly, I was already full at this point so I cover the remaining food and left it on the table and rested my back on the chair, I shut my eyes and Jaxson popped a question.“You have a nanny? I was almost stuttering; I had to find a way around it and answer his question.“Well, not for me, but for my dad, he has disabilities
I took the keys and looked at it. I have never driven that kind of car before. Jaxson noticed how I was looking at the key he gave me and he giggled.“You act as if you do not know how to drive.“I do, but I do not know how to drive this type of car; I have never driven it before.“Don't worry, I will fix it if you bash it; you can take the day off tomorrow.“I cannot do that; I have a painting to complete. A customer ordered the sunshine painting and we must deliver it as soon as possible.“Alright, if you insist, thank you for handling my gallery well. “I’m just doing my job.I smiled, picked up my bag, and left the room. I met Victoria in the living room; she was on a work call, and she ended it when she saw me. “Jane, you are leaving already."Yes, I am. Do you have a problem with that?“Not really, I just want to remind you of your place; your place is on that stool in the gallery; your work in Paradise Gallery is to paint and sell paintings, nothing more; and I think you are c
JANE's POV I was left with my emotions as I rode slowly. Tears rolled down my eyes. I was thinking deeply about the dream I had; it felt so real. I thought Jaxson died truly. I wasn’t concentrating on the road at this point because of the thought that filled my mind. I almost ran into a ditch, but I quickly climbed on my break pad. “Oh my God! What is happening to me? I placed my head on the steering wheel and tried to relax my nerves because I was up tight. I needed to be calm before I hit the road again so this incident would not repeat itself. Mrs. Marilyn’s call came in and I was grateful it did."Hello, Mrs. Marilyn, good evening.“Hello, Jane, How is Jaxson doing? Is he doing alright?“I forgot to update you; he was discharged a while ago; I left his house not too long ago; I was occupied; I would have called you."Oh, that is wonderful news. I'm so happy to hear that. Was Victoria at the hospital?"Yes, she was. You have no idea how annoying that lady is; s
JANE's POV “Jane, don't tell me you are still ignoring these young men’s calls.“He disturbs me too much; I'm not mentally ready for any stress at all; he doesn't understand that. I told him that I would reach out when I could, but he kept calling nonstop. What else do you want me to do?"Maybe you agree to go on a date with him. “You cannot possibly be serious, Sarah, on a date! With all that is happening in my life, All you can come up with is a date.“Well, what else do you want me to say?“I expected something else from you but definitely not a date. “Well, that was the only idea that came to mind. The room was awkwardly quiet for a while. Sarah was pressing her phone, my eyes were slowly closing and I was on my way to dreamland. I relaxed my head on the couch and closed my eyes. I was feeling relaxed. Sarah suddenly yelled and I jerked back. My heart was pumping and for a few seconds, I struggled to know where I was. My eyesight was still colorless.“What happened, Sarah? Why
Why do bad things happen to good people? I lifted up my leg and danced round the room. The pain was sudden and sharp, and it took my breath away. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, and my eyes filled with tears. I bent down and gingerly touched the injured area. It was already starting to swell, and I knew it was going to bruise. I took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.I felt a sharp, throbbing pain in my leg like someone had hit me with a sledgehammer. It was difficult to put weight on the injured area, and I could feel a dull ache throughout my whole leg. I could tell that the injury was going to leave a mark. It was already starting to turn a dark shade of purple, and I knew it would probably be sore for days.The pain was intense, but I tried to focus on breathing through it. I knew that if I could keep myself calm, the pain would eventually subside. I closed my eyes and focused on taking slow, deep breaths. I just hope I won't have a bad day. How can this ugly experienc
Jaxson fixed his gaze on me; I was looking at him too. The incident of yesterday made me realize what I felt for him. Each time he looks at me like that, it makes me nervous. I became scared. I didn’t know what I was expecting but we struggled to break eye contact and I began to stutter.“Where are the files you want me to work on, sir?“OH, yeah, Victoria will hand it over to you. Victoria, can you be kind enough to hand over the files to Jane?“You do not have to worry about that, sir; I will do all of it.“You have been on those files since we got here; give it to Jane; she is more organized than you are. “But sir, I'm already on it.“Well, you can move on to something else; give the files to Jane, I insist.I was so happy Jaxson was speaking to Victoria like that; it made my heart leap for joy. Victoria handed the files over to me, but I could see her face; she was boiling inside. I collected the files and as I turned to leave, Jaxson called out my name.“Jane.“Yes sir.“You loo
I was having a mixed feeling at this point, I desperately wanted to get mad at Victoria but my soul was at peace each time I caught a scent of Jaxson, his aura was everywhere and it was like a burning incense made to appease my soul, Victoria walked in at this point in the middle of my thoughts and she walked past me, he gave me a bad stair as usual but I didn't mind her, I was just focused on my painting, I heard Jaxson telling her to make him dark coffee, he asked her to make Dark coffee without sugar, it was the perfect time to carry out my plan, I left my desk and went to the kitchen before Victoria got there, I heated up water to make my own coffee, Victoria was already in the kitchen at this time she brought out a cup to make Jaxson’s coffee, I took the exact same mug and I added three teaspoon of sugar into my coffee, I exchanged the mugs when Victoria turned to go get tea spoon and saucer for Jaxson’s tea. She took the coffee with Sugar and left the kitchen. She left without
