JANE's POV “You can take your call, Jane; I do not have a problem with that.“And who says I need your permission to take my calls? “Calm down, angry bird. You take things seriously. I really like you, Jane. I do not care if you want to date Bryan or not.“The fact that you are cool with dating me when you know your best friend is into me is scary; why would you want to betray Bryan like that?“We had our history, Jane, long before Bryan came into the picture.“I see you still remember, but you made it very clear to me that it was just a one-night thing that happened between us.“But I wanted more.“You ignored me, Jaxson; you acted like you didn't care.“What are you talking about, Jane? I don't understand.“The fact that you always pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about makes me sick. You know what? I think coming out with you tonight was a bad idea. I need to go back home and do not think about following me because I will call the cops on you. “Let me
JANE's POV Sarah was the first to rush towards Jacob; she was visibly shaking. I was scared to my bones; I didn't know if Jacob was alive or not.“Jacob, Jacob!!! Please wake up. I'm sorry. I’ll take you to the hospital. Baby, please wake up. Jane!! Call the Ambulance!I returned inside to get my phone but my hands were shaking. I dialed the emergency line, and they responded in an instant and took Jacob into the ambulance; he was still unconscious. Sarah quickly rushed inside and took baby Daisy; she was still sleeping but she picked her up gently, and we drove alongside the Ambulance. Sarah’s eyes were filled with tears. She was so worried about Jacob; she didn't want to lose her husband.“Do you think he will survive Jane? Do you think he is going to make it out?alive? I didn't have answers for Sarah; Jacob was in a critical condition. It was a good thing he came to my house tonight. What would have happened if he had slumped in his house? No one will even
Jane's POVI woke up the next day feeling refreshed. I stretched my body in the direction of the sunset. I had a good night's rest and there were no kids jumping on my body. I wondered why my kids were not in my room yet. I stood up from my bed and reached for my phone. I was hoping to see a message from Bryan but there was none. He didn't reply to my messages or return my calls. "This is really strange; it is unlike Bryan. He calls me back whenever he misses my calls. Could something be wrong with him? My smile faded away slowly as I stared at my phone. I put it down and went to my kid's room, where they were having their bath and singing their favorite cocomelon song. Esther was doing a good job with my kids; I should give her a raise. I went to Sarah's room but she was not there. I knew the only place she could be was in the kitchen. So I went downstairs and I found her making something for Jacob."Good morning, Sarah, Did you sleep at all? "I couldn't sl
JANE'S POV I got to my children’s school and I was directed to the principal’s office. I got there and saw Kieth sitting outside alongside his teacher and the kid he punched. He came forward to hug me when he saw me. I bent down to his level so I would be able to talk to him.“Kieth, your teacher told me you punched that boy over there; why did you do that?“He insulted me, Mom; he said that my father was a ghost and he never showed up during “bring your father to school day”.“You shouldn't have punched him, Kieth; your tiny little fingers made him bleed in the nose. Is that what I taught you?“I’m sorry, mummy, but he made me angry and he refused to apologize. “Promise me that it will never happen again.“It will never happen again, mummy.“Alright, go sit with your teacher; let me quickly meet with your principal.I entered the principal’s office and the mother of the boy Kieth hit started ranting nonstop. "If this is the mother of that rebellious child, I
JANE's POV I got to the hospital and my kids rushed to hug Sarah when they saw her. I saw Esther carrying baby Daisy. She was standing far from Sarah and she was pacing around in an attempt to make baby Daisy sleep. I didn't know she was at the hospital; I thought she had gone home. “Esther, you are here; I thought you went home already. "No, ma, I came here to help Mrs. Sarah when you told me you were already at the kids' school. We were talking and I noticed her red eye circle. She was bowing her face so I wouldn't see it but it was very obvious on her face. When she noticed that I had fixed my gaze on her, she turned her face. I collected baby Daisy from her and walked towards Sarah.“Hi Sarah, How are you doing? Have you seen Jacob? Is he awake now?“Hi bestie, Yes, he was awake. I fed him the soup I brought, but he is currently sleeping. I spoke to the doctor about therapy and I'm starting with the therapist by Monday. How was work today? I hope you don't face an
JANE's POV We waited patiently for Esther to come back so we could continue our interrogation. She took a while at the canteen and we were wondering if she was trying to avoid the conversation. I was about to go to the canteen to see what they were delaying and I saw her coming with Keana.“What happened, Esther? You took longer than expected."They were processing Keana’s order so we had to wait.“Come sit, Esther; you are like a younger sister to me and you’ve been working for me for months. I see the love you show to my kids and how you treat them. I can never wish for a better nanny, but I want you to tell me the truth—nothing but the truth.“Jane is right, Esther, please talk to us as your older sisters; don't be scared of anything; tell us the truth; we will be right by your side. This wound around your eyes—did you fall from the staircase? Esther broke down in tears. The tears were rolling down her face nonstop and it was almost impossible to stop her from cry
JANE's POV Esther was carrying Keana when we met her; Keana wouldn't allow her to rest; she was just jumping on her body. The boys were still playing games on Sarah’s phone.“Esther, you can bring your things to my house tomorrow.“Thank you so much, Ma; this means a lot to me.“You are welcome, Esther.Jacob was awake at this time and we all went in to see him. The kids were disturbing so I told Esther to sit outside with them. Jacob was too weak to talk; he was just moving his head to the sound of my voice. It was time for him to eat so he sat up gently and Sarah spoon-fed him. I left as soon as it was dark so I could go home and prepare my kids for school the next day.I left Sarah at the hospital with Baby Daisy; she insisted she would spend the night with Jacob. The kids were sleeping on our way home, I and Esther had to carry them in. I went upstairs and went under the shower. I had my shower cap on and I scrubbed my body with my Lavender Bar soap. I came
(TWO WEEKS LATER)“Listen to what he has to say, at least.“He ignored me for days, Sarah. I was calling and texting yet got no reply from him and when I showed up at his house a woman was standing by the door with his shirt on? What other explanation do I need? I do not have the strength to fight over a man; you needed to see the way she stood and blocked the door.“But you didn't wait to hear what Bryan had to say. “Don't be delusional, Sarah; Bryan still hasn't called me to this day. What other explanation do I need?“But have you tried to reach out to him?“Sarah! Are you trying to annoy me or what? “I’m not trying to annoy you; I just want us to look at the positive aspects of this situation. You didn't meet him there the day you went and the lady told you he was not around. I think you should just chill and allow him to reach out to you first.“Whatever! How is Jacob, by the way? And how is your therapy session going?"It's going well, Jane; I'm glad I went for therapy;
