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
“The last time I saw you cry like this was when you discovered that you were pregnant with a stranger. Is it your father’s health that is stressing you?"No, mummy, it is Sarah. She called off our friendship because Jacob asked her to. I am so broken, Mom. We have been friends for over a decade and I don't know how to live without her.“Jacob told her to break off her friendship with you.“Yes, mum.We were sitting outside my father’s ward. My mom was looking for a perfect place to comfort me so she took me outside since the nurse needed space to attend to my dad.“I understand that you are hurt but I know Sarah too well; she definitely is too. “I don't think she is, mom. if she was, she wouldn't have sent me that message. She knows that it would break me but she sent it anyway.“I know Sarah loves you and you know that too, but you have to understand that a woman would do anything to protect her home; she would do anything to keep her home peaceful, even if it meant inconveniencing
I rushed towards my father’s ward. I saw the excitement that filled my mother’s face; she had a huge smile on her face. My dad was awake but he was still lying on the bed. He couldn't speak; he was still trying to make sense of the environment where he was. My dad's eyes darted around the room, taking in his surroundings. He tried to move his arms and legs, but they felt heavy and stiff. He tried to speak, but no words came out. He felt a sense of panic rising within him as he struggled to make sense of what was happening. He had no idea where he was or how he had gotten there. “Calm down, Dad; you are at the hospital.My dad finally spoke. His voice was so low and calm that I could barely hear him; his voice was barely above a whisper.‘Jane? Is that you, my child?Tears dropped from my eyes when I saw that my dad was straining his eyes to look at me. It looked like he was colour blind, maybe because his eyes were shut for a long time. "Yes, Dad, it's me.I moved closer and held
I was so excited to see Jaxson. I was speechless when he walked in. It is safe to say that I was lost in his eyes. I wasn't expecting to see him at that instant but immediately we locked eyes. It was magical. I struggled to break eye contact and he couldn't help but smile back at me.“You are back; I was just about to call you. How was your meeting?“Long and boring; I was almost dozing off.Jaxson paused and he looked above my shoulder and saw that my dad was awake at this time. He lowered his voice as she spoke like a shy teenager.“Why didn't you tell me your dad was awake?“ You just got in a few seconds ago!! And you’ve been staring at me ever since. Jaxson moved closer to my dad; my dad didn't see when Jaxson walked in because my mom was in his view. I never knew Jaxson was a shy person; he was walking slowly like a shy teenager who was about to ask his crush out for prom night. He walked slowly towards my dad and he gave him an innocent smile. My dad couldn't recognise him but
I couldn't tell who they were; they wore a black outfit with a black mask and it didn't look like they came to rob; they obviously came for someone. Why would anyone want to rob a hospital? So many unanswered questions raced through my mind as Jaxson shielded me from them. We ran to the same space and they seemed to be following us. Jaxson was busy protecting me, not minding if he was hurt or not. I could see blood stains on his shirt.My heart was pounding hard as she ran to safety, but they were still following us. I didn't know Jaxson had a short gun at his disposal. He brought it out and shot back at them. The whole place was scattered. There was no sign of a police van or siren blowing. If it were in New York, the very second they fired that shot, the police would have been running towards us, but this was different. Our safety lay in the hands of Jaxson and his short gun. I was so scared, I was visibly shaking. I have never been in that kind of situation before. I have faced s
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
