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
I’m just pissing you off effortlessly. Now think about what will happen if I have your time. I will be out of here. You should be happy that I am not as sassy as you are. You should count yourself lucky. You better get off your high horse. You think Jaxson cannot replace you because you’ve worked with him for over a decade? I can take your job if I want. All I need to do is tell Jaxson about it; it will be very easy. After all, he already thinks I'm better than you. “You better watch your back.“I always do, Victoria, but do you?She walked out and went back into Jaxson’s office. I think she likes it when she talks to me. She always finds a way to start a conversation with me. I suddenly noticed that Mrs. Marilyn hadn't left her office since the last time I saw her. I was starting to wonder why. I stood up and took a walk to her office. I found her sleeping; her head was on the table. I approached her and tapped her, but I felt her temperature; she was having a bad fever.“Oh my G
I froze in shock; I couldn't comprehend what I was seeing; I couldn't believe my eyes; it was like I was dreaming; I couldn't believe Esther was having sex under my roof with my underage children playing outside without any guidance; the worst of it was that she was having sex with the same guy she accused of abusing her. They paused when they saw me; they were both nude; it felt like everything was moving in slow motion; I wasn't the only one who was shocked; they were both shocked to see me, but I knew I had to say something to end the awkward silence, but the problem was that I didn't even know what to say to her. But before I could open my mouth to speak, Esther met me halfway and her voice cancelled mine.“I’m sorry, ma; it is not what you think; he only came here to apologize.“To apologize? And he ended up in between your legs? Esther started to stutter; her boyfriend didn't say a word; he just picked up his clothes from the floor and started dressing.“If you and your guest d
I knew it was going to be a long night because I had something bothering me that was going to keep me awake all night. It was the thought of Esther. For the first time in a long time, I wasn't thinking too much about Jaxson; his thought was still in my heart but the thought of Esther was more. Sarah was right; I shouldn't have asked her to leave my house.The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had been wrong to ask Esther to leave. She was a kind and compassionate person, and she had always been there for me. I felt ashamed of my actions, and I wished I could take them back. She messed up badly but I should have scolded her in another way. I should have done better. I picked up my phone and tried to call her number but it wasn't connecting. It was switched off. I began to worry. I shouldn't have left her in the hands of that abusive boyfriend. What if he decides to hurt her? I was determined to go find her. I had little hope that she might still be around, maybe som
I knew it was time to get serious, as Jaxson had never called me in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what the problem was, I was mute for a while, my eyes were wide open, and I didn't know what to say to him. “Do you want me to do anything for you? Do you need anything?“Calm down Jane, this isn't work related, I called because I needed to talk to someone, I couldn't sleep. I was calm at this point and I spoke slower. I was still trying to be comfortable, I felt like someone would wake me from this dream, but it wasn't a dream, it was a reality.“Sorry about that sir, how can I help? Do you need me to do anything for you?“Not exactly, I just needed to speak to someone, I’ll allow you to sleep, see you at work.The call dropped, and even though I wasn't there with him, I could feel the tension on his part, he was tense too and it was evident in his voice tone. I laid on my bed with my eyes wide open, I was excited to talk to Jaxson but it would cost me the rest of my sleep, I
