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. I wo
“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
I was speechless. I looked at the papers and couldn't say a word to Jaxson. I was too stunned to speak. I was shocked and it felt like I was in dreamland. I couldn't believe that a house worth millions of dollars was bought in my name. I almost couldn't believe it if not for the fact that I was holding the papers. I wanted to speak but no words were coming out. “Jaxson, you didn't have to; you bought this for me? “It is just my token of appreciation to you for taking care of my beautiful kids. I must say, since they came into my life, I have found fulfillment; I have a reason to live again. I thought I had wasted my most youthful years living a very careless lifestyle. I was busy exploring everything while you were making sacrifices to take care of these kids. I want to ask you respectfully to let me into their lives as their father. I promise to take care of you all. I love and cherish every moment life presents to us.Please do not push me away. I would like to bond with my kids,
