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,
I was frozen on the bed; I never thought I would hear those words from Jaxson. It seemed like I froze in time because I didn't move or say anything to him.“You do not have to say anything back to me; you can take your time to decide what you want. I want us to be a family; please sleep over it. I want you to be my girlfriend and I promise to make things right. I promise to do right by you. “I don't know what to say, Jaxson; I didn't know you had feelings for me. “Like I said, I've always had eyes for you; it is just that you do not see it. Please say yes to me. You do not have to reply now, but just take your time and decide what you want. “I like you too, Jaxson, but I am scared; relationships never favor me. I was celibate for five years. I didn't want to commit to anyone because I didn't want my heart to be broken. “You are the mother of my kids, Jane. I would never do anything to hurt you, I promise.“ But you told me a while ago that you can never commit to one woman; you t
My heart was almost pumping out of my chest. Jaxson picked up my phone immediately because he heard Kieth’s voice on the phone too.“Who is this and what are you doing with my son? You better not hurt my child!!!“Else what? Jaxson? What are you going to do? I have a gun pointed at his head and I can blow his head off; you do not even know where he is.Jaxson’s eyes became red when he heard Victoria’s voice. He had always known her to be a psychopath but he never expected her to make such moves. There was nothing I could do at this point but plead with her. I was so scared. I've always known Victoria is dark in heart but I never knew that she could kidnap someone. Victoria was sounding revengeful on the phone; she was really in pain and I feared that she might hurt my child.“Please let him go; I'm begging you, Victoria. I will do whatever you want, please. Please do not hurt my baby.“ I do not want you, Jane; I want to watch you suffer. You took away my job; you took away Jaxson fro
I fell to the ground; everything was blurry; I couldn't see clearly; everything was white noise. The call had already dropped, but I could still hear the sound of the gunshot; it was playing on repeat in my head. Jaxson was yelling but I could not hear anything he was saying.Everyone was trooping into the room but I paid no attention to them. It felt like my soul left my body; I was on the ground, and I didn't respond to whatever they were saying. This was the first time I was experiencing such. For a few minutes, I thought I was dead; I thought I was already in the after life. I didn't want to believe or process what I just heard. Did they just shoot Kieth? Was my son dead? Was I dreaming? Was I hallucinating? I couldn't move but tears were flowing freely from my face. At this point, my mom came to pick me up. I still can't see clearly. I couldn't imagine the tragedy of losing a child. “Come, sit on the bed, Jane.“Let me be mom; let me stay here. My life is over; Kieth is gone! M
Jaxson chose to save his son, and I admired him for that. The way I felt about him changed from that moment onward; I saw him differently. He was no longer the person I hated, but someone that I knew would make a very strong sacrifice for the people he loved. dropped, I moved forward, and I gave him a hug. The hug was a tight one and I struggled to break. I broke down again on his chest, and he pulled me closer and held me firmly. “ I know how much you love your son; I am his mother and I love him even more but I don’t think I will let you give everything you worked so hard for just to save his life. There has to be some other way, and we have to look for another way. We cannot just give up like that. We cannot let your uncle win; we have to fight back."What would you have me do, Jane? I cannot hold back everything. I worked hard while my son is in the hands of criminals. Just a few minutes ago, we all thought he was dead because we heard gunshots on the phone. They just did that to
When Jaxson parked the car, it took me a while before I got down. I was scared at this point because the environment was scary. I saw so many security guards with scary faces; they were macho men. Jaxson came down, but I was still in the car. I was rethinking my decision to follow him to the warehouse. Jaxson stood in front of the car, waiting for me to come down. When I wasn’t making any effort to calm down, he walked toward my side of the car and opened the door. As soon as he came face-to-face with me, he sensed my fears. I was visibly shaking, and then I spoke to him in the calmest way possible."Who are these people, Jaxson? And why are they here? "You do not have to be afraid, Jane. They are all on my side. They are my father’s allies. They are the only ones who can fight with me and win this battle for me. I made an emergency call for this meeting, and that is why they are all here. They honour my father so much and know that for any emergency call I make, we have a code and
“ We have deliberated on the issue and we will help you. Tell your woman not to worry. I sense fear in her eyes; even though she tries to hide, it is still evident in the way she looks around. Your uncle’s issue is a piece of cake. I can assure you that your son will return to you safely. How do you want us to deal with your uncle? “ My Lord, I just want my son back. That is my utmost priority for now."Put a call to the number, put it on speakerphone, and place it in the middle of the table. Let’s have a conversation with him. Jaxson did as he was told; he dialed his uncle’s number, and when he picked up, he placed the phone in the middle of the table, where everyone could hear the conversation. His uncle spoke first, hoping he was going to hear positive news but unfortunately, Jaxson has more power now. “Jaxson, I want to believe that you were calling me because the transfer of shares was successful. I do not have time for vein calls. Remember, any minute wasted will endanger yo
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
