I do not like the look on your face. Sarah, you are up to something; what is it? Please don't tell me that you're about to do something crazy.

“Calm down. I am not going to do anything, crazy. I just want you to use this guy to get over Jaxson.

“That is not going to happen, Sarah.

“And why not?

“Because it is not going to end well; look what happened between me and Bryan; you know how it turned out; I am not ready to go down that lane again.

“This is different; I didn't say you should have sex with him; all I'm saying is that if you distract yourself a little, maybe you will get over Jaxson.

“I think I need to go upstairs; you are filling my head with too much rubbish.

“Are you kidding me? I’m trying to help you here.

I stood up and took my bags upstairs. I dropped everything on the bed and went to my children's room. They were busy doing their assignment but they rushed to hug me when they saw me. I stayed with them a little before I came back to my room. My back was already aching

    I screamed. I didn't know when I raised my voice. I would like to call it an involuntary action but my voice was over the room. The door opened. It was like a storm pushing through the sea. Everyone rushed into my room at this moment, including my kids. They were all worried and curious to know what made me yell in such a manner; they were all scared of me, anticipating an answer. My kids were the first to speak, followed by Sarah."Mummy, are you alright? Are you hurt? “Jane, is everything alright? Sarah spoke with so much concern in her voice. I stared at all of them, not knowing what to reply to. I tried to speak but I was stuttering. A thousand and one thoughts were running through my mind at this point. I struggled to focus on the people standing in front of me; they fixed their gaze on me and this made the whole situation very awkward because I was the center of attraction. I finally found a voice to speak. I spoke but my voice was barely above a whisper.“I’m fine, guys; you

    The drive to the pharmacy was a long and quiet one; I could hear my heart beating; it was as if it were going to pump out of my chest; I developed anxiety; and the worst part of it all is that if the test comes out positive, I might not know who the real father of the child would be. Would it be Jaxson or Leo? What if it is Leo? How do I convince him that the child belongs to him? It was just a one-night stand and I have practically been avoiding him for weeks. Even though he has been trying to reach out to me, I totally ignored him. We finally got to the pharmacy. It was the same pharmacy where I met Bryan and his fiancee. I reluctantly got out of the car but I stood by the side of the car door. I was so scared to move that it was as if my legs suddenly became heavy.“Why did you pause, Jane? Common, let's go in.“I don't think I want to go in, Sarah; I'm so scared and nervous. I think I want to go back home.“Quit acting like a child, Jane. The deed has already been done; let’s ju

    I hope this is not what I am thinking. Why was Sarah looking at me like that? Why is she putting on a weird facial expression? Tears rolled down my face. I was already prepared for the worst; my heart was already broken. I didn't need to hear what she had to say; the expression on her face said it all. “I’m just kidding, Jane, the result came out negative!!“Are you kidding me? You almost gave me a heart attack. I walked out of the restroom and went into my bedroom. I was just pacing around the room. My heart was filled with joy but I was still nervous. I didn't even know how to celebrate; I didn't know if I should jump, fall on my bed, or even roll on the floor. I was just pacing around and all I could say was "Lord, thank you.” How was I going to explain to my parents that I was pregnant for the second time?“You might hurt your feet if you keep pacing around like that. You should be jumping and celebrating the fact that the test result was negative.“I know, Sarah, but I just fe

    I was unconscious for a while when Jaxson rushed towards me and picked me up from the floor. He was panicking.“Jane! Jane!!! Can you hear me? Hanna! Call the doctor!!Jaxson picked me up from the floor and took me to his car. He collected the car keys from his driver and drove me directly to his house. He was driving and talking to his doctor on the phone simultaneously.“She was talking to me and then she slumped. Should I bring her to the hospital or take her to my house?“Take her to your house; I will be there in a jiffy. "Alright, doctor, thank you. The call dropped and Jaxson turned back briefly to look at me. He was so worried, he stretched his hand to check for my pulse. We finally got to his house and he carried me upstairs to his bedroom. I was still unconscious and it felt like I was in a deep sleep. The darkness was all-consuming, and I felt myself drifting deeper and deeper into it. I was unable to move, unable to speak, and unable to do anything but feel the heavines

    For someone who is so proud and arrogant, I didn't expect him to have such great culinary skills. The soup was so good that I wanted more each time I swallowed the previous one. It was weird that Jaxson was spoon-feeding me but there was not much I could do. He wouldn't allow me to get up to eat; he wanted to do everything for me. “Did you make this yourself? “What do you think?“Well, I think you ordered it; I would have said you had it in your fridge and microwaved it but it is fresh and tastes homemade.“Well, there you have your answer; I made it myself.“You have such great culinary skills for someone who is arrogant. After my mother’s soup, this is the only soup that I've tasted that blows my mind away. “I’ll take that as a complement. “Your mom did a good job; she taught you well. “I didn't learn from my mom; she was always busy shopping around the world, and she employed five chefs to cook for us.“So your chef taught you how to cook?“No, my dad did; he taught me how to

    At this point, it is safe to say that I judged Jaxson wrongly. One wouldn't understand all the pains he went through that turned him into the kind of person he is today. I didn't want to blame him too much for his personality because it was evident that he went through a lot in his early years. Judging from what he told me, he lacked motherly love. His mom was always busy living her own life and the only person who spent time with him died a long time ago. Jaxson was still looking sad; his face was pale and it looked like something was bothering him. He was lost in his thoughts, and I have caught him doing that three times. I wonder why that is.“Are you alright, Jaxson? You seem lost. You look palpable and worried.“I’m fine, Jane; I've just been thinking a lot lately; I've been thinking about my lifestyle and my growth; I've allowed the event that happened many years ago to define my personality; it has had a huge impact on my lifestyle; I am not getting any younger, Jane.

    Why do you want to leave Jane? Did I do anything to annoy you? I couldn't hold back the tears that rolled down my eyes at this point. I looked at Jaxson and the tears rolled down my face. He paused for a split second as he looked at me. He tried to speak but he was stuttering; it was as if he were counting his words.“Jane, you are crying? Please talk to me; do not leave like that. Tell me what the problem is. I was about to speak when the doorbell rang. I was grateful for the distraction because, truthfully, I had nothing to say to him. We both paused for a second. Jaxosn wasn't expecting any guests, so he wondered who it was. We both looked in the direction of the door and the bell rang again. Jaxosn had to go get the door.“Hold on, Jane; please do not move; I will be right back. I think it is Victoria. Jaxson walked towards the door and peered at it. To his greatest surprise, it was his ex standing behind the door. I could feel the shock in his face. She was the last person he

    The shock on Sarah’s face was more serious than mine when I was speaking to her about Jaxson. She was curious to know more; she wanted me to spill everything and leave no stone unturned. “I’m so confused, Jane; how did you know this? How did you find out?I placed my hand on my head. I was trying to control my thoughts because my head was ringing with different thoughts. “Talk to me, Jane. You are not saying anything. “I had a conversation with Jaxson today and he was telling me about how his childhood was rough. I was talking and I was feeling dizzy again. I robbed my eyes and Sarah noticed.“Come, sit on the bed; you look like you are about to pass out. I sat on my bed and Sarah sat beside me. She sat very close to me and she fixed her gaze on me. At this point, I continued talking without hesitating.“Jaxson was talking about his emotional traumas; he was really his dad who died, and secondly, his girlfriend who cheated on him. It broke him down badly and that was why he embrac

    Life, they say, is not a bed of roses. I have had my share of ups and downs. I had gone through a lot in life to raise my kids as a single mother and even when my children’s father showed up, it didn't get easy; rather, it became tougher. It wasn't a smooth ride but I am glad for all the challenges I was able to overcome. I was unconscious in the hospital for a month. Family members were scared, but they didn't give up on me because they knew I was a fighter. The first person I saw when my eyes were open was Sarah; she was right beside me praying when my eyes were open. I guess the heavens heard her prayers. But when my eyes opened, I wasn't pleased with the view I saw. I almost couldn't recognize her for the first few seconds because I was color blind. After a few seconds, I saw her face was brutalized; she was looking pale and malnourished. I taped her softly to let her know that I was awake. I was still very weak so I couldn't talk. She almost jumped out of her skin when she saw

    I slowly collapsed to the ground. I didn’t know what it felt like to be shot; I couldn’t explain how I felt at the moment. I was in pain, but I couldn’t say a word. It seemed like I was unconscious, and I was losing blood rapidly. Jaxson held me mid-air so I wouldn’t drop to the ground. He tried to chase the criminals, but they drove off. He didn't get to see a face but the camera out of the pharmacy picked up their faces. Jaxson wanted to pursue them, but he couldn’t leave me there. He panicked and he didn't know what to do. He pulled out his phone and called 911. The condoms Jaxson bought fell to the ground, and it wasn’t important at that moment. He rushed back to me and lifted my head up.“Jane, please talk to me; please say something. I was not responsive; I was far gone. I didn't know where I was but it felt like I was sleeping. I was unconscious and I was losing blood. The ambulance came accompanied by the police van; they placed me in the ambulance immediately and started

    “ Dad died many years ago. Mom. You had a lot of time to make amends but instead you drifted away like I’ve always remembered. So do not use that as an excuse.“ To come back, Jaxson, I tried to be close to you, but you already hated me; you were so far away. There was no mother-son connection anymore. You are no longer the son I used to know that your father had brainwashed you into thinking that I was the bad person when, in the real sense, he was the monster. “ Why didn’t you say anything, Mum? Why didn’t you tell me my father was abusing you?“ You never gave me a chance; your father brainwashed you into believing that I was a careless mother. Nothing I said would’ve made sense to you. Tears were rolling down Jaxson‘s face, and I wasn’t happy with that. I hated to see him that way. “ I’ve always thought you never loved me. I thought you hated me and I’ve carried that pain all through my entire life. I hated you for no reason; I didn’t know you were going through so much. “

    "You have grown so much more than the last time I remember. You were just my little boy a while ago, but now you’ve grown to be the father of three beautiful kids."Stay away from my family and me; I am not your son. Do not call me that. I tried to signal Jaxson to take things easy on his mother, but he wasn’t having it. He was still blowing hot. “ I am back here to make things right. I know I wasn’t the great mother you wished for, but I am here to make amends. Please give me the chance. Do not push me away."You lost the right to do that a long time ago. You do not even care about me, so stop pretending.“ Is that what you think, Jaxson?“ That is not just what I think; that is what you have shown me ever since I was a child. You never cared about me, and even when my father died, you moved on so quickly that you didn’t even care if I was hurting or not. You are such a wicked person and I do not want to associate myself with you. “ That is what you grew up to believe, but I actua

    Jane, you are an amazing woman, my life changed at the moment I met you. The first time I saw you on my rooftop at the party I organized. I know I found someone so rare and true.You looked so beautiful in your shimmer dress, that I couldn’t get my eyes off you all night. The long conversation we had through my soul and I knew from that very moment that you were going to leave there forever. I was with you in that room, and I didn’t want the moment to end, reconnecting with you at Bryan’s office was like a miracle, and every single day I wake up, I thank the sun, the moon, and the stars for bringing you my way. I have been fighting these feelings because I’ve been scared of commitment, but not anymore Jane. I want us to live as a happy family with our kids. There was a pause from Jaxson’s end, it took him a little over five seconds to continue from where he stopped. “ Jane Collins, please do me the. Will you be my wife please marry me. I could not explain the big smile that poppe

    I didn't know how Bryan and Jaxson settled the fight or how it ended but the only thing I could see when I woke up was that I was lying down on Jaxson’s bed. I was conscious of the fact that I was awake but my eyes were still closed. I opened my eyes gradually and saw Jaxson seated beside me. He fixed his gaze, and he struggled to break eye contact.He was so excited to see me awake and he held my hand as he gave me a faint smile. “ I was patiently waiting for you to wake up, Jane. I was so scared. I didn’t know when you were going to wake up; I almost took you to the hospital. It was after Jaxson spoke that I realized that my head was banging. I used my arms to hold my head firmly. “ Here, something for your headache. You will feel better once you take the painkillers.Jaxson handed me some painkillers and I took them with some warm water. At that point, I still couldn’t recall what had happened. I left you on the bed, trying to remember everything that happened. My brain was bla

    I was so confused, my heart started beating fast, and I didn't know what to do at that point. Everyone fixed their gaze on me and it was as if I were the villain in Bryan’s love story. I was sitting but the chair became uncomfortable the moment Bryan mentioned my name. Jaxson started rubbing his arms and I could tell that he was not in a good mood. “I dare you to embarrass me in front of everyone, Bryan? How dare you? All I've ever done is in your best interest. I’ve made sacrifices to protect you. I chose a good bride for you from a wealthy family; I chose her from a family with prestige and yet you want to trade that for a single mother of three? Do you want to drag this family name into the mud? I will not sit back and watch you crumble everything your father has worked hard for in the name of your silly infatuation. “It is not an infatuation, Mom; I love Jane.My seat was burning, and I was slowly dragging my butt away from the chair. I was uncomfortable, and I wanted to leave.

    Bryan was acting weird when he saw us together. Jaxson gave him a hug, but he kept looking at me. He fixed his gaze on me and it made me feel uncomfortable. I didn’t know I was going through mine, but I knew for sure from the way he was looking at me. He wished I was the one he was getting married to instead.I simply put up a smile so I wouldn’t come across as rude. At this point, the bright father walked her down the aisle and took her up to meet her soon-to-be husband after they took their vows. Jaxson was smiling sheepishly; he was so happy. His friend was finally settling down, and he was going to start a family. The joy on Bryan’s mother's face was everything; she was the happiest. Bryan wasn’t half as happy as she was. Her smile was palpable, and everyone could see it. The bride was very happy. She was smiling at each step of the way she walked, and even though I didn’t like her, I couldn’t stop admiring her outfit and her aura. She looked so beautiful, and I almost couldn’t r

    It was a cool and breezy day. I was seated by the side of the window, sipping my dark coffee, and I was enjoying the view of New York City. This was the feeling I usually get from my new home, the house Jaxson bought for me, but this time I was in his house. I was in a secret house, the one he took me to the last time. It has been three months since Keith was kidnapped; he has gone through a series of therapies, and it is safe to say that my son is doing well. I woke up happy that day because the universe was finally giving me peace, thanks to gradually falling into pleasant places for me and my family. My dad’s health was improving as the day went by, and I was so happy to find out that he was able to walk out on his own, even though it was a short distance, but he was able to walk with his legs again. Above all of this, it has been three months without Sarah in my life. It hasn’t been easy but with the help of Jaxson, I was pulling through every day. Most days I spend my nights c
