I was looking back at Keana until she faded out of sight. My heart was heavy. I wish I could take her along with me but I cannot because of her school. I know they miss their grandparents but I do not want my kids to meet their grandma. When she was grumbling, I took out my phone and called Sarah. She has been drifting away lately and she doesn't seem to notice it. It was unlike Sarah's to stay for days without reaching out to me. I didn't know what was happening, but I hoped that she was okay.The phone rang a few times before she finally picked up the call.“Hey, Sarah. How are you doing?“Hey girl, I'm fine. I know you’ve been wondering why I've been so distant lately.“Yes, I was wondering, what is happening? Are you alright?“I’m fine, Jane; it's just that I got busy. You know, I've been job hunting for a while now, and Daisy is becoming more problematic as the day goes by.“I can understand that; you know, my kids did the same thing to me; if not for you and my mom, I don't kno
The trip to Ohio wasn't a long one; I dozed off on the plane and by the time I woke up, we were about to land. I was so happy that the journey was smooth, but when we landed, I was so tired that I slept off in a bad position and my neck was hurting; I couldn't turn my neck. I took my handbag and highlighted it on the plane. It was already midnight at this point. I picked up my suitcase and headed straight to the hospital. I got to the reception of the hospital by this time. I was already exhausted and tired. I met the nurse at the reception. She asked me for my father’s name and I told her. She directed me to the ward.I got to the ward and saw my mom sitting outside. She rested her head on the wall and tears rolled down my eyes when I saw her. She was looking really pale and tired. I hadn't seen my mom for months and the image I saw wasn't what I expected to see; my mom was looking older than her age. My father’s sickness must have taken a toll on her. As I approached my mother, I
Tears rolled down my eyes. My mom held my arm and he pressed it firmly. “Mum, is this how bad the situation is? I didn't know; would I have brought you both back to New York? This is heartbreaking, mom. I was there to console my mom, but the moment I saw my dad, I couldn't hold back the tears that flowed freely from my face. I broke down in tears and I rested my head on my mom's shoulder.My mother held me close as I sobbed, letting me release the emotions that had been building up since I'd first heard the news about my father. I felt a little embarrassed to be crying like a child in front of her, but she just stroked my hair and let me cry. "It's okay, honey," she said, her voice soft and soothing. "It's normal to feel this way, child. Just let it all out." I took a few deep breaths and finally felt like I could speak again. "I'm so scared, Mom," I said, my voice trembling. I was trying to catch my breath. "I don't know that it was this bad; Dad barely has enough flesh to cover his
Jaxson was so shocked to see my father; he stood still. He was shocked. I was puzzled; I didn't really know what was happening. I was trying to speak but I was stuttering.“You know my father? “Yes, he was my basketball coach in junior high school. I wanted to be a football player, but my father wanted me to follow another career path. "Wow, I said, still trying to process the revelation. "So you and my dad have known each other for a long time? Jaxson nodded. "Yes, since I was in middle school. He really helped me with my game, and I'll always be grateful to him for that.“Wow! I cannot believe that. “Is this the Jaxson I think he is?I knew where my mom was going with that question; I didn't even know her next line of action but I prayed it wasn't out of character.“Nice to meet you, Jaxson. I didn't know you were coming; I would have welcomed you properly.“You do not have to worry about that, Ma; my trip was impromptu; I had to fly in with my private jet at the last minute.
I knew Jaxson was a sweet and gentle man but I didn't know he was also romantic. He took me to a five-star hotel and when we went into the room, it was decorated with rose petals scattered around the floor and on the bed. I didn't know when he got the time and chance to plan all of these; my trip was on a short notice; it was impromptu, and even at that, he was still able to come to be with me here despite his tight schedule.“Are you surprised? Don't be surprised, Jane. I told your mom that I was going to take care of you so here you go.“I don't know what to say, Jaxson. How were you able to pull off all of these in such a short period? I am still shocked.“Let’s just say I have a lot of handy people around; all I had to do was call and they delivered. All I want you to do right now is relax, go into the bathroom, take a good bath, and come back. Let’s have something to eat.I forgot to mention that the room smelled like fresh water; the room was dark and only the candle lights were
“You won't believe who diverted the letters you sent to my office.At this point, my attention was drawn. I got up from the bed and walked towards Jaxson to get a clearer idea of what he was looking at. When I got closer to him, he passed his phone to me. I almost couldn't believe my eyes; it took me a while to understand and recognize who it was—it was Victoria. I almost couldn't recognize her for the first few seconds because she was looking very slim and her ass wasn't as big and succulent as it is now. I guess Jaxson pulled up the footage from her fears before she went for her BBL surgery.“That bitch!!! I’ve always known she was trouble; I wonder how you were able to keep up with her for ten years.“I cannot believe this! How can she do this to me? Why would she divert the letters? She robbed me of years of my children's life! I will make sure she pays for this.“What are you going to do to her?“I do not know yet but I will see to it that she loses her job.“How were you able to
“I need to go back to the hospital to be with my mom and my dad; I cannot afford to leave my mom there alone.“I have a meeting in town today but I will be done before noon. I'll drop you off at the hospital, then head to my meeting. I will pick you up when I'm done. Is that fine?“That is totally fine, but I didn't know you had a meeting today.“ Well, it was impromptu; I have been postponing the meeting with these new clients for months now. I just want to do it once and for all now that I'm in Ohio.“What!! You choose to have meetings with your clients at your convenience.“That is why I have Mr. Ali so I do not have to be running around. These clients can sometimes be problematic; they don't mind seeing me every day, and I do not have time for that.“Yeah, I understand you; I know how problematic they can be.I was still in the middle of a conversation with Jaxson when the doorbell rang. It was room service, and when Jaxson opened the door, it was our breakfast. I wondered why it
My heart jumped when I received that message from Sarah. She was about to end our friendship because of what her husband thinks. I felt a wave of sadness wash over me. I had never imagined that things would end like this. I had thought that Sarah and I had a special bond, one that was unbreakable. But now, it seemed like I was losing her forever. I wasn’t sure what to do. I wanted to fight for our friendship, but I also didn’t want to cause any more trouble between Sarah and her husband. I felt torn and conflicted, not knowing what the right thing to do was.I’ve always known Jacob to be a loving and caring man but ever since he got married to Sarah, he has become a total stranger. He changed for the worse. It was as if he had become a different person altogether. He was always irritable. He was never satisfied with anything, always finding fault and criticizing everyone around him. I couldn’t help but wonder if it had something to do with marriage, work, or growth. Perhaps the pressu
