JANE'S POV So Jaxson is even in a relationship and he was busy disturbing me. I was so upset and angry. I didn't know if I was supposed to be angry and upset but I was. I gulped my remaining champagne and dropped the glass. I was already tipsy. I stared at myself in the mirror. I was looking so hot. My breasts were still standing strong and firm. My Tommy was snatched in the red dress, and my hair was to die for. The hair was a raw, double-drawn, 24-inch wavy curl. It was bouncing gloriously. “You look breathtaking. I wonder who the lucky man is. When I turned, it was Jaxson. I anticipated it; I knew he saw me when I stood up.“Are you stalking me, Jaxson? “Stalking you? Why would I do that? This is the exact banquet I was trying to bring you to, but since you aired me, I brought someone else.“You mean your girlfriend?“Well, yes. Just one out of so many.“You are so pathetic, Jaxson. I never want to see you again. Please stop following me around. I was trying to
JANE'S POVWe stayed still for a while to know what was happening and Jaxson and his girlfriend suddenly emerged from the car and walked towards us. Bryan blew down his side glass."Bryan, let’s join you, please. My car broke down."Sure, buddy, you don't even have to ask. Jaxson entered the car with his overbearing girlfriend, and she didn't even say a word.“Is it safe to leave your car there all night, Jaxson? Do you think you need to call someone to come help you tow your car? "It's midnight; I can't get anyone but don't worry about it. I’ll send someone to come get it in the morning; I already texted my driver.“That is great; I hope you locked your car doors."Yes, I did. The trip continued peacefully until Jaxson decided to break the silence."So, Bryan, tell me. How long have you known Jane? I remember she used to work for you, so how did this closeness start?I wonder why Jaxson would ask such a question; what was his motive? Bryan is a gentle young man and
JANE'S POV The room was filled with an awkward silence. I could hear my heartbeat. Bryan stopped thrusting his hip as he gave me a stare. His silence said a million words. I was so embarrassed, I had to redeem myself. I had to do something fast to end the silence and tension that filled the room.“Bryan, that didn't come out well. I know I'm not supposed to be thinking about this at this moment but my heart was troubled and I wanted to speak to you about it. “Is everything alright, Jane? “Yes, everything is alright but I was wondering why Jaxson’s girlfriend was giving me a cold attitude the entire time at the party, so my mind was filled with Jaxson's name since I don't know hers. “Is that what is bothering you, Jane? You shouldn't let that border you. Jaxson’s girlfriend is always having mood swings so you shouldn't let that get to you. Come, lay on my arm.“He pulled my head softly close to his arm and he gave me a peck on my forehead but that was
JANE'S POV What is wrong, Jane? Is everything alright with you and Sarah?My taste buds instantly became sour, and I lost my appetite immediately. “Something happened, Bryan.“What happened, Jane? Bryan dropped his cutleries as he focused on me to hear what I had to say.“I caught Jacob cheating on Sarah. “What!! When did this happen, Jane? “The last time I went to Sarah’s place to drop off her stuff, I found him making out with Annabel, Sarah’s cousin.“That is really terrible. Jane, have you told Sarah about this? “No, Bryan, how can I tell her something like that? She is still admitted to the hospital; she passed out the last time because of stress. I’m not about to add emotional turmoil to her problems.“You have a point, Jane, but how will she feel when she finds out that you knew about her husband’s infidelity and hid it from her?“That is the issue, Bryan. Sarah will be discharged today. Jacob is not aware of it because she wants to surprise him at home.
JANE'S POV I could see through Sarah; her emotions were on her face, and tears rolled down her face effortlessly as she watched her cousin ride her husband, who was moaning her name out in pleasure. They didn't notice our presence for a few seconds. Jacob pulled Annabel away from his body when he saw us standing and watching them. They were both naked, and Jacob was too dumbfounded when he saw his wife; he quickly used the duvet to wrap around his waist as he approached Sarah.“Baby, it is not what you think; I can explain.“Do not touch me, Jacob. How long has this been going on? “It was just a one-time thing, babe; this is just a moment of weakness; we were both tipsy.I blew hot; I couldn't watch Jacob lie his way out of this one.“You liar!! Jacob is lying to you, Sarah. He was on a three-day vacation with Annabel after his work trip, which is why he lied that he couldn't get a flight back to New York. Sarah turned to me and I saw the pain in her eyes.“So you knew a
JANE’S POVI slept on the couch with my kids. I woke up at 6 a.m. the next day. When my eyes opened and I looked at the clock, I jumped up, woke my kids, and started preparing them for school. They left when their nanny came. It was past 7 a.m. already. I cannot be late on my first day at work. I was so disorganized; I hadn't even figured out what to wear yet. I scattered my clothes, looking for the perfect outfit. When I couldn't decide, I picked up my phone to call Sarah. That was when I remembered what happened last night. I sat on my bed. I was sad, but time was not on my side, so I couldn't sulk. I picked up the outfit I wore to Bryan’s office on my first day at his firm. I packed the brushes Bryan gifted me and headed to work. I still haven't received any messages from Sarah. When my phone beeped, I almost crashed my car with the way I left my steering and rushed to my phone. I parked and saw that it was a message from Bryan.Hey girl! Have a lovely first
JANE’S POVMy painting brush fell when I turned and saw Jaxson’s girlfriend. She looked like she was about to beat me up; she was moving around and staring at the paintings on the wall.“How can I help you, ma'am? Do you want to buy a painting?“Quit acting like you do not know me, Jane; you know who I am so why the pretense?“I do not know your name, ma’am.“You would have known my name if you had asked my boyfriend, but I guess you were so carried away looking at him that you forgot that someone was sitting beside him.“The information wasn't necessary so I didn't want to ask.“I like smart women like you, Jane; you always have an answer to every question, but I am different; I do not talk much; I'm a woman of few words. Stay away from Jaxson and do not contact him again.“How dare you come to my workplace and threaten me? I suggest you use this energy to go tell your boyfriend Jaxson to stop stalking me. I was trying to control my voice so Mrs. Marilyn wouldn'
JANE'S POVI was silent for a few seconds; I couldn't say a word. I was still trying to process what I just heard. The mop stick I was holding fell out of my hand as I fixed my gaze on Jacob. Maybe I didn't hear him well or my ears were playing a fast one on me.“What did you say, Jacob?“Sarah is missing. Jane, I've searched everywhere for her but I cannot find her. I reported the case to the police but they said they could not take any action and that I had to wait 24 hours. I decided to track her car and I found it in the Bronx River Forest.“What!! Have you gone there to see?“I’m too scared; please accompany me, Jane. I cannot do this without your help. I need to find my wife. I picked up my bag and my phone and left the gallery. I entered Jacob’s car and we zoomed out. I didn't even care about the consequences of leaving unannounced on my first day at work because the well-being of my friend was of the utmost importance. I can always get another job but I
