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
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
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.
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
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
