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

    JANE'S POV I was yet to get a positive reply from the cops; they were still busy interrogating Jacob. I was watching him interact with the cops when my phone rang. It was a call from my dad, and I knew he was going to call me back as soon as he received the money I sent.“Hello dad.“Jane, you sent me twelve thousand dollars?"Yes, daddy, please book your doctor’s appointment for tomorrow. Do not hesitate to call me if you need anything.“How did you get that large amount of money, Jane?“Do not worry about that, Daddy; just focus on getting better. Can I talk to Mummy, please?"Hello, mummy, Please come back to New York so I can be closer to you and dad."Jane, I hope you are not doing anything I won’t be proud of. How did you get that amount of money?“I’m not doing anything illegal, mom; I'll tell you everything when you come back to New York. I got a new job at an art gallery in Schenectady, mum. I resumed today.“That is amazing, Jane. I am so proud of you,

    JANE'S POV Are you sure Keana knows what she is saying?“I know my daughter too well, Bryan; even though she is five, she is very smart; she cannot lie about a thing like that.“Finish your food; let’s go then.“Finish my food? I lost my appetite already; let me inform Jacob. I highlighted the car but Bryan called my name and I looked into the car from the window.“Don't you think we should go confirm first before you tell him?“What Jacob did to Sarah was terrible but I've stayed with this man for hours and I can see a broken man; he is broken, Bryan. I’ll tell him so he can free himself from self-pity and torture because he thinks Sarah jumped into the water with Baby Daisy.“OK, if you say so. I walked to Jacob’s car; he was sleeping. I taped on the glass and when he woke up, he used his arm to shield the sun from coming into the car so he could see who was standing. His eyes were red and swollen. I could tell he was crying for a long time.“Sarah is in my house

    JANE'S POV Everyone dropped their cutlery, and Jacob moved closer to Sarah."Babe, I'm sorry. Please do not divorce me; my world is empty without you. I regret my actions and I promise never to hurt you again. I would do anything you want.“For months, I've been trying to get you to look my way. You were carried away with whatever was keeping you occupied. I had surgery, Jacob, to give birth to your child, our child, and you were on vacation with my cousin. I was battling for my life on that hospital bed but you were busy screwing another woman in my matrimonial bedroom. You are so wicked and heartless, Jacob; I don't think I can ever forgive you for that.“Sarah, please don't leave me; I promise to be by your side. I'll do right by you. The most important people in this world to me right now are you and baby Daisy. Please give me one more chance. Jacob was on his knees. I felt pity for him but his offense was grievous.

    Life, they say, is not a bed of roses. I have had my share of ups and downs. I had gone through a lot in life to raise my kids as a single mother and even when my children’s father showed up, it didn't get easy; rather, it became tougher. It wasn't a smooth ride but I am glad for all the challenges I was able to overcome. I was unconscious in the hospital for a month. Family members were scared, but they didn't give up on me because they knew I was a fighter. The first person I saw when my eyes were open was Sarah; she was right beside me praying when my eyes were open. I guess the heavens heard her prayers. But when my eyes opened, I wasn't pleased with the view I saw. I almost couldn't recognize her for the first few seconds because I was color blind. After a few seconds, I saw her face was brutalized; she was looking pale and malnourished. I taped her softly to let her know that I was awake. I was still very weak so I couldn't talk. She almost jumped out of her skin when she saw

    I slowly collapsed to the ground. I didn’t know what it felt like to be shot; I couldn’t explain how I felt at the moment. I was in pain, but I couldn’t say a word. It seemed like I was unconscious, and I was losing blood rapidly. Jaxson held me mid-air so I wouldn’t drop to the ground. He tried to chase the criminals, but they drove off. He didn't get to see a face but the camera out of the pharmacy picked up their faces. Jaxson wanted to pursue them, but he couldn’t leave me there. He panicked and he didn't know what to do. He pulled out his phone and called 911. The condoms Jaxson bought fell to the ground, and it wasn’t important at that moment. He rushed back to me and lifted my head up.“Jane, please talk to me; please say something. I was not responsive; I was far gone. I didn't know where I was but it felt like I was sleeping. I was unconscious and I was losing blood. The ambulance came accompanied by the police van; they placed me in the ambulance immediately and started

    “ Dad died many years ago. Mom. You had a lot of time to make amends but instead you drifted away like I’ve always remembered. So do not use that as an excuse.“ To come back, Jaxson, I tried to be close to you, but you already hated me; you were so far away. There was no mother-son connection anymore. You are no longer the son I used to know that your father had brainwashed you into thinking that I was the bad person when, in the real sense, he was the monster. “ Why didn’t you say anything, Mum? Why didn’t you tell me my father was abusing you?“ You never gave me a chance; your father brainwashed you into believing that I was a careless mother. Nothing I said would’ve made sense to you. Tears were rolling down Jaxson‘s face, and I wasn’t happy with that. I hated to see him that way. “ I’ve always thought you never loved me. I thought you hated me and I’ve carried that pain all through my entire life. I hated you for no reason; I didn’t know you were going through so much. “

    "You have grown so much more than the last time I remember. You were just my little boy a while ago, but now you’ve grown to be the father of three beautiful kids."Stay away from my family and me; I am not your son. Do not call me that. I tried to signal Jaxson to take things easy on his mother, but he wasn’t having it. He was still blowing hot. “ I am back here to make things right. I know I wasn’t the great mother you wished for, but I am here to make amends. Please give me the chance. Do not push me away."You lost the right to do that a long time ago. You do not even care about me, so stop pretending.“ Is that what you think, Jaxson?“ That is not just what I think; that is what you have shown me ever since I was a child. You never cared about me, and even when my father died, you moved on so quickly that you didn’t even care if I was hurting or not. You are such a wicked person and I do not want to associate myself with you. “ That is what you grew up to believe, but I actua

    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 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

    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.

    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

    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
