“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

    I couldn't believe my eyes. Esther's ex-boyfriend—the man who had terrorized her, the man I warned her to stay away from—was standing right in front of us. I felt anger and fear course through me, my blood boiling. All the fear I felt disappeared and I was filled with rage. He didn't see me clearly before that time because I was standing in a dark spot. “You again!!? I will make sure you pay for this!!“You know him?“He is Esther’s abusive ex-boyfriend.Jaxson didn't give me a chance to finish my statement; he started punching him. He was on the floor and he couldn't fight back because Jaxson was not a match for him. Fear gripped me a little when I saw the way Jaxson was punching him. I thought he was going to kill him. I had to pull Jaxson away.“That is enough, Jaxson; you are going to kill him.Jaxson stopped punching him at this time but he held on to him tightly. Jaxson’s eyes were filled with anger and rage; I had never seen him in that state before. His jawline was strong a

    “What!!! Your uncle? Your uncle is the one after your life. Because of shares? Did your father wrongfully take the shares from you?“It is a very long story, Jane. I cannot begin to tell you everything now.“Well, you have to; you just endangered my life and that of everyone in this hospital. We are just lucky not to have anyone dead by now. So you just tell me what transpired. "Jaxson was about to speak when the nurse came into the emergency room; she didn't come for Jaxson; she came for me.“Jane Collins, right? For the first few seconds, my heart skipped; I thought she was the bearer of bad news, and I was so scared. I didn't know if she was coming to tell me anything good or bad. “Yes, is something wrong? “Nothing is wrong; your parents want to see you; they have been worried about you since the breakup of the hospital.“Alright, I will be right behind you.The nurse left and I fixed my gaze on Jaxson.“I do not want to leave you here all by yourself.He giggled a little.

    “You cannot escape my next attack; let’s just say you got lucky this time. Sign the papers, or else I will come for her family. I knew there was a serious one when Jaxson got up from where he was sitting. He was staring at his phone lustfully; he didn't say a word to me but I knew there was trouble. I knew something was wrong but I couldn't tell what it was at that point. I was only trying to guess.“What is it, Jaxson? Is something wrong? “We need to leave Ohio immediately!!! “What is wrong? What did you see? Jaxson passed his phone to me and I almost lost balance when I saw that his uncle was not only after Jaxson but also me and my parents.“What!! How did he find out about me? How did he know about my parents?“I do not know how to answer that question now but we have to leave as soon as we can.“I am not leaving until you tell me how your uncle found out about me.“Don't be naive, Jane. Do you want me to sit you down and explain to you how my uncle found out about you and ris

    “Why are you always nagging? I never do anything to satisfy you; you always complain. I took them out of there for their safety. Can't you say thank you at least?“And who brought that danger to our doorstep? You did, so it doesn't sound like you are doing me a favor by protecting us from your uncle. “Do you even sit down for a minute and think before you talk sometime? Do you think this is easy for me too? I flew down to Ohio in the middle of the night just because I wanted to be with you. I'm doing all I can to show you how much I care about you but all you’ve been doing ever since is looking for little mistakes from me to hold on to. You are desperately looking for an alibi to hold on to. Can you be grateful for once? I know I put you and your family in danger but can you not see that I am trying my best to protect you all and bring us out of these? I was quiet at this point; guilt washed over me. I didn't know I was badly behaved until Jaxson drew my attention to it. I feel bad

    Everyone settled down pretty well. My dad and my mom were placed in a very comfortable room. A doctor was there to attend to my dad and a nurse was on standby to check his vitals and administer his medications when needed.My kids were sitting in their room and they were busy on their iPads. They were so addicted to playing their games that they were no longer disturbing me. Unlike them before, they would be running around my room and dragging my phone. But now the situation is different.I was in the same room as Jaxson; I don't know how we ended up in the same room but I was happy that he was in my space. We all came down to have dinner except for my mom and my dad, who ate in their room. I was at the dining table with Jaxson by my side, my kids, Esther, and Jaxson’s cousin. I didn't know his name but I remembered that he was the one who confronted me. Thinking that I was a call girl or an escort, he wasn't yet aware that my kids belonged to Jaxson; he thought his brother was just

    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
