Sarah came back into the room with carrot soup; it was steaming hot, and the aroma filled the room as she came in. My nose and my taste buds were already dancing to the tune of the aroma.

As Sarah set the bowl of soup down in front of me, I couldn't help but take a deep breath and inhale the delicious scent. The soup was a beautiful orange colour, and I could see bits of carrot and other vegetables floating in the broth. I couldn't wait to taste it! I picked up the spoon and took a small bite, and the flavour was incredible. The soup was perfectly seasoned, and the carrots were cooked to perfection. The aroma and taste together were like a dance of flavours in my mouth. I closed my eyes and savoured every bite.

Each spoonful was a taste of wonder.

“This is awesome, Sarah; I love it. You still haven't taught me your recipe; please tell me your secret ingredient.

“I won't tell you; that is why it is called a secret. You have to enroll in my cooking class to learn that.

“You cannot be se

    “Give me back my phone; it is rude to prey on other people’s privacy.I dragged my phone from Jaxson and I hurriedly walked to the bathroom. He was still standing at the exact same spot that I left him; he didn't move a muscle. He stood in confusion, trying to process what he had just seen on my phone. I got into the bathroom and shut the door to the entrance. I was pacing around; I didn't know what to do. Jaxson had just seen the picture of his kids and I know he felt some type of connection because of the striking resemblance he had with Keith.“God!! What should I do? What should I do? This is not going to end well.I was in the midst of my thoughts when I heard a loud bang on the toilet door.“Open this door, Jane; we need to talk right now.“We have nothing to talk about, Jaxson; go away and leave me alone.“I will not leave here until you give me the answers I need. Open this door right now or I will push it down. My heart was pumping really fast, my blood pressure increased,

    I stood still, frozen; I thought I was going to pass out because of how I was feeling; my legs could no longer carry me; I held the door for balance; and my kids rushed towards me and hugged me.“Welcome mummy!!! Your friend is so nice. It was as if my vision became blurry the moment I entered the house. I didn't notice the new toys that were scattered all around the living room, ranging from toy cars to bicycles, water guns, and even iPads. My living room was covered with all of the gifts Jaxson bought for the kids. I didn't know if I was supposed to feel emotional at this point or upset that Esther left a stranger in my house. “Mummy, see my new car; I love it. Your friend is so nice; will he come back tomorrow? “Kieth, take your siblings upstairs. "But, mummy, we are having fun with your friend. “Kieth, do you want Mummy to be upset with you? “No mummy. “Now, take your siblings upstairs, and do not come out until I ask you to.“Are you upset with him, mummy? Are you going to

    I was standing face-to-face with Jaxson; he was taller than me so I had to look up to talk to him. I was so angry and upset; he was trying to take my kids away from me; he was trying to take the only thing that brings me joy in life. My heart was bleeding. I wish I could shred him into pieces. I tried to control it but tears dropped down my face as I looked at him. He left the room without saying a word to me.I wonder how he got to my house. I didn't see his car in the driveway, and it dawned on me that he parked a few blocks away from my house. My house was still heavy, and the thought of losing my kids wanted to make me go crazy. I broke down in tears and fell on the floor. I couldn't contain myself. I began to scatter everywhere. I scattered everything—the toys and even my center table. Esther had to rush in to hold me at this point. I was disgruntled. I was in a state of despondency and quagmire. Esther rushed to me; she tried to hold me down because I was almost rolling on the

    I was in the back seat of the car, lying down unconscious. I was so drunk. At that moment, all my worries and pains were gone. I wasn't thinking about anything; my head and my mind were blank. All I could feel was my tummy rumbling and I threw up. I puked on my body. My body was reeking of alcohol but I couldn't do anything about it. I felt my body move each time we passed the speed bump. I could feel my body jerk. I was in a deep sleep. The car stopped eventually and I was carried into the house. My eyes were still shut but I knew that someone had carried me; I had yet to identify who the person was. I was carried into the house like a toddler; I was placed somewhere; I couldn't tell where I was dropped; if it was a bed or a couch, I knew it was a couch because it wasn't as soft as a bed is supposed to be. The stranger started undressing me and cleaning my body. After undressing me, he took me to the shower and turned on the heater. The water flowed from the crown of my head to the

    The door opened, and I saw a strange-looking guy in his mid-30s; he wasn't looking like someone who could afford such a big house. He walked into the sitting room and started conversing with the lady. I didn't know her name at this time, so I didn't ask but I was going to ask her after the conversation. From the conversation so far, it was evident that he was the landlord and not the owner of the house, so obviously he wasn't the one who picked me up from the bar last night. When he was done conversing with her, he left the room.“What is your name? I didn't ask you.“My name is Mrs. Sofia; you can call me Sofia. I am the house Manager. Please, you can have your tea so it doesn't get cold.I took a sip of the tea but it was hotter than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to cool down a little since I waited for a while before sipping it."Easy; it is very hot; sip gently so you don't burn your tongue. My tongue was almost on fire but I tried my best to cool it down.

    I didn't even know how it happened; was he following me around? I locked eyes with Jaxson; how was it even possible? This isn't his house; I didn't even see him at the bar last night. Bryan only told me that he was around. I got upset and stood up to face him; after all, he was the reason why I drank to stupor last night; he was the one that put me in that situation.“What are you doing here, Jaxson? Are you following me around? What do you want from me? Haven't you done enough? Jaxson didn't say a word to me; he stood still, listening to me rant. He fixed his gaze on me and he struggled to break eye contact. I was so upset with him but I was ranting at the top of my voice, not minding if I was yelling or not. “Can you stop raising your voice at me, Jane? Do you realize that I am still your boss?“I do not care, you selfish bastard! After all you told me yesterday, you expect me to worship at your feet because you are my boss! I don't know how you found your way here but you better

    He gave me a tight hug. The hug was so warm; his perfume was like burning incense, and it calmed me down. I don't know why I stayed on his shoulder; I was quiet. The hug was unexpected, and I didn't know how to react. Now, it was too late to push him away. He pulled me away softly so he could see my face and talk to me.“I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through, Jane. I didn't know that our one night of passion produced such lovely kids; they are so cute, and I've never felt so much joy in my life since I met them. I knew right from the moment I saw the picture on your phone that they were connected to me. I didn't know the possibility of that, but I had the inner conviction that they were mine.I only said all of those things yesterday because I was upset. I didn't mean anything I said. I cannot take your kids away from you; I would never do that. I am not as bad as you think I am. I grew up without motherly love, and I know how it affected me badly even to this day. I wouldn't w

    I saw the genuine excitement on his face; he was really excited, and he had a large smile on his face.“Hello Keana, How are you doing today?“I am fine, uncle; we miss you. When are you coming back to the house? Did my mom scold you for buying so many toys for us?I watched as Jaxson giggled a little. He was enjoying the conversation with Keana, and I was just sitting on the bed. There was nothing there for me to do; I was just watching Jaxson as he walked around the room, talking to Keana. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought he was talking to his high school crush.“What should we do the next time we see?“Let’s go to the park; my siblings and I love it there."Oh, really, that is lovely. I used to love the park when I was little. My dad would take me there, and we would play around until late at night.“You stay out late at night? My mom hates it when Aunty Esther allows us to stay late at the park.“Well, this time, you guys will be with me, so she won't yell when we com

    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
