JANE’S POV.“Calm down, Jane; it's just 7 p.m.; he’ll be here soon.“That is what you told me 30 minutes ago. Sarah, I think he totally forgot about the date.“You know Bryan better, Jane; you've worked with him for a while; you know he doesn't joke with his appointments; I'm sure he has a better explanation for the delay. I was already upset at this point; Bryan hadn't even called me to tell me why he was running late. That is not very nice of him.“Call him and find out why he is delaying. I called him once, but he didn't pick up or return my call. I do not want to look too desperate so I won't call again. I was about to take off my earrings and undress when I heard his car pull up in the driveway.“You see, I told you. He is here now.“Sarah, Jacob said his flight was delayed; have you spoken to him since then? “I've been trying to call him since then, but my call is going to his voicemail. I've been noticing so much inconsistency with Jacob; he said he coul
JANE’S POV The car was silent for a few minutes until we approached a magnificent edifice. My eyes and mouth widened simultaneously. Bryan parked in his driveway and I saw his luxurious cars; there were too many I couldn't keep up counting. After he turned off the engine, he walked to my end and opened the car door for me. He held my hand as we walked into his living room. I was drooling over Jaxson’s mansion a few years ago but it was nothing compared to Bryan’s mansion. Bryan's mansion is way bigger and finer. I was looking around immediately when I got in and it was as if I had left earth. I'm not an architect but I know I can carve out five bedrooms from Bryan’s living room. “Welcome to my humble abode, Jane.“You call these Humble? You must be kidding me, Bryan. “Make yourself comfortable. Jane, I'll have my chef make you dinner. I would have asked him to make something for you when I came back home to freshen up but I was hurrying out and I totally forgo
JANE’S POV.Sex with Bryan was everything I needed and more. The feeling was memorable but I won't deny the fact that I was seeing Jaxson’s face all through. I fantasized about Jaxson when Bryan was touching me. I didn't moan too much during the sex because the way I was thinking about Jaxson was too much; I might just moan out his name unknowingly and that would not turn out well. I finally had an orgasm after so many years.After the sex, Bryan held me tightly in his arms as we were curled up in bed. I was feeling so relaxed; my back pain was gone. Thanks to Bryan’s massage, his cologne was so mild and I was sniffing his arm every five seconds because I loved the scent. He played with my hair and I loved the feeling. This is what I have been missing for years now. We were enjoying the calm and silent moment when Bryan suddenly asked me a question that made me choke on my saliva."Will you be my girlfriend, Jane? I couldn't say a word; I just turned and we we
JANE’S POV.I could feel my breath seizing gradually. I was so confused and dumbfounded. I didn't know if I should wear my bra first or my pants; I couldn't even find my bra, so I moved forward to pick up my pants from the floor and wear them, but I was in a hurry. I was trying to fit in my two legs at once, so I fell on the floor. That was when Bryan woke up and heard me fall to the floor."Jane, are you alright? Why are you rushing to leave this early? It is not even noon yet; won't you have something to eat before you go? Where are you even rushing? "I have an emergency. Sarah is at the hospital."What! Is she alright? What is wrong?"Not Sarah, baby Daisy; she was rushed to the hospital this morning."Oh my God, what happened to her?"Too many questions Bryan, I don't even know. I’m trying to order a ride."A ride? Why do you need a ride? Common, let me drop you."You don't have to do that, Bryan; you’ve done enough already. Besides, you have a meeting later
JANE'S POV.The ward was filled with Sarah and Jacob's voices; they were shouting at the top of their voices. I wonder why the security hasn't called them to order. Why are they even yelling anyway? Aren't they supposed to be hugging, considering that Jacob had been away for a while? I approached them to find out what the problem was and why they were yelling like my grandparents."What is wrong, guys? I've only been gone for 10 minutes, and you guys are almost tearing each other apart. This is not the reunion I was expecting. Hi Jacob, welcome back to New York. Jacob's face was red as he tried to control his words. He answered me lightly and went back to raising his voice."How can you be so careless? Sarah, how can you leave Daisy in a room that was really cold and the air conditioner tuned to the highest? Why couldn't you be more careful? Daisy is just a few days old, and you want to send her back to her maker?"Don't be ridiculous, Jacob; it was just a mistake;
JANE’S POV.I knew Sarah’s heart was beating faster than mine as we walked to the doctor’s office. We didn’t say a word to each other, but there was an unspoken communication I could feel as we both held hands. She held me tightly, and we sat down and fixed our gazes on him as we anticipated his report."Your daughter Daisy is such a strong child; we almost lost her because she was in a very critical condition when you brought her in. She is stable now but please, you have to be very careful. I see this is your first child so I'll suggest you employ an experienced nanny to help you look after Daisy."Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much."You are welcome. How are you feeling? You know you shouldn't go through all this stress; it is not good for your health. Please try to relax and put your mind at rest; your daughter is going to be right. She will be discharged as soon as she wakes up but you have to bring her back here if you notice any changes in her body tem
JANE’S POV.When the tension was too much, I instructed my children’s nanny to take them home so they could prepare for school the next day. They didn't even complain because they spent their whole afternoon disturbing me.“Sarah was rushed into the wards and the doctor started stitching her immediately; her stitches loosened when she fell to the ground. Jacob was there this time and he witnessed the tension first hand. His wife and his daughter were both lying in the hospital bed; he was destabilized; he was pacing around the same way I was the day they operated on Sarah. The doctor came out and walked directly towards Us. “She is going to be alright, but I told you guys not to allow her to stress herself; she just had a cesarean section a few days ago and she is already pacing around the hospital. Please, when she is discharged, take good care of her and make sure she doesn't lift anything heavy.She needs rest—lots of it. Mr. Jacob, please employ the service
JANE’S POVI slept off when I entered the Hospital. I had my phone on my chest all night long. I was so happy to see Jaxson’s text. I didn't respond to it, though, and I was happy he reached out. By the time I opened my eyes, it was daybreak, and Jacob was pressing his phone. Sarah had been awake for a while but they didn't allow her to see us; they insisted she breastfed her baby first. After she was done, they allowed us inside. Jacob gave his wife a hug and a peck on her forehead and she handed baby Daisy over to him. I saw tears drop when he held his daughter for the first time; they were tears of Joy. “Daddy loves you, Daisy. Daddy loves you. It was fun to watch Jacob's face. Had Jaxson replied to my letter five years ago, he would have done the same thing with his triplet too. “Isn't she so pretty, Jane? She looks so much like me."Yes, she does. How are you feeling, Sarah? “I feel hungry, Jane, but the doctor said I cannot eat anything solid. “Should I ord
