JANE's POV “Why did you do that, Jaxson? You shouldn't have; someone might have seen us.“Stop pretending like you do not feel this spark between us.“Whatever I feel is not of your business, Bryan broke up with me, Jaxson. “I told you he was going to do that; what was the reason for the breakup?It was when Jaxson asked me this question that I suddenly realized that I could not disclose the reason for our breakup. I don’t know if it was just luck on my side but I cannot explain why Bryan hasn't told Jaxson about my kids.“Well, he didn't really say, but he made mention that his mom wants him to get married to someone else.“I told you he was going to dump you, didn't I?“Don't be ridiculous, Jaxson; that doesn't mean I will jump into your arms still.“Why won't you? You already know I like you and I want to be with you.“I’ve said this over a million times: you are not my ideal man; you are too promiscuous; I hate men like that.“Well. You can be my number-one queen. I c
JANE's POV It lasted for a while and I enjoyed every bit of it, but the moment I got to the climax and the pleasure ended, it brought me back to my senses. It was as if the spirit of horniness left me alone to face my reality. Did I just have sex with someone that broke off what we had? How could I be so foolish? I was lying on the bed, we were both naked, Bryan pulled me closer and cuddled me. I was so ashamed of myself and even though he was still giving me soft kisses to make me feel comfortable, I wasn't. I wanted to run away and leave the space, so I stayed still. It was almost 10 p.m., and I was thinking of a way to leave Bryan’s house. I knew he wouldn't allow me to leave if I tried to, so I waited for a while and when I heard him snoring lightly, I knew he was sleeping deep. I pulled myself away from his arms slowly. I put on my clothes and tiptoed downstairs. I got to my car and put my head on the steering wheel. I was thinking about the sex I just had with Bryan; it was a
JANE's POV I woke up the next morning and sat on my bed. I folded my leg and wrapped my arms around it. I was unable to comprehend what I just saw in my dream. Why am I even seeing Jaxson in my dream? Why were we together? I was in a state of confusion. I was deep in my thoughts, trying to think about the possibility of us dating or having something serious. When he finds out about these kids, what will be his next line of action? Will he embrace them? Will he abandon Us? Will he focus on the kids alone or will he decide to build something serious with me for our kid's sake? There are so many unanswered questions. My kids interrupted my thoughts as usual; they all jumped on my body.“Good morning, mummy; we missed you.“I missed you all, my little champs.“We waited for you all night, mummy. “I couldn't make it home early yesterday, Keana. What did your nanny make for dinner for you guys?“She made cheesy chicken and lime quesadillas.“Wow!! She made that! Did yo
JANE's POV I saw the happiness on Jaxson's girlfriend’s face; she was so excited that Jaxson kissed her in my presence; that was a reassurance for her. He took her around the whole space and they held their hands like teenage lovers as they walked around the whole building. I was disgusted by their public display of affection; I hated it; it made me sick. I was a little bit jealous, even though I tried to live in denial.Jaxson did the worst; he brought her to my desk and started showing her my painting. How can he still be dating this crazy girl who came to threaten me? What was wrong with Jaxson? I was so pained when he wrapped his hands around her waist; he winked at me when they turned to leave; I was so angry that I felt my stomach turn; I wished I could give him a slap for what he just did; if not for my purpose here, I would have stood up and left the job; his girlfriend was busy smiling sheepishly; she acted like a teenager that was dancing in prom. Th
JANE's POV It was the day of the event, and the gallery wouldn't be open until 6 p.m. that evening because they were decorating everywhere. I woke up feeling energetic, and I encouraged myself that I wasn't going to feel down anymore. I started preparing my kids for school.I made them pancakes for breakfast and Esther packed cakes and pineapple juice for lunch. After I dropped off at school, I went into town to look for an outfit for the event. I wasn't going to be looking basic; I needed heads to turn when I stepped in. I would love to go back to Mary and Mac but I do not have three hundred thousand dollars to get glammed up. I drove to a boutique and asked for their latest collection; they directed me to where they have their size 10.“What is the occasion, ma? “Nothing serious, just an event for a gallery opening, but I need to look hot."Alright, I got you. What color of dress do you want? “Anything nice, aside from red.“May I ask why, Ma? Because everybod
JANE's POV The party scattered, Jaxson wasn't listening to anyone, he was still punching and beating Ben.“Jaxson please stop, you are going to kill him.Jaxson ignored me and everyone else. Bryan had to intervene.“Get a hold of yourself Jaxson, what is wrong with you, what did he do?“This is the man who tried to rape Jane.“What!! Bryan started to bounce on Ben but this time it was Jaxson who separated them.“Allow me to teach him a lesson.“The police are on their way, I will make sure you rot in jail. Jaxson and Bryan's girlfriend stood and watched in amazement, they didn’t understand why their men were fighting for me, Jaxson’s girlfriend was so angry, she couldn’t hide the irritation on her face, by this time Mrs. Marilyn was trying to do damage control, she told all the guests that the party was over and she made sure they all evacuated the building. “Good night ladies and gentlemen, but I am afraid the party is over, please exit the building. They a
JANE's POV I couldn't wait to go home, the whole situation was confusing. Why would Jaxson speak to me like that, how did things change really fast, this was somebody who was drooling over me a while ago, could he be hurting because his girlfriend broke up with him? But it wasn't my fault, I didn't ask him to fight for me, he tried to rescue me like I was a damsel in distress but I wasn't the cause of his breakup so he shouldn't take it out on me. It was the close of work and I picked up my bag to leave, but Hanna stopped me.“Sorry Jane, you cannot leave now, Mr. Jaxson wants you in his office. “I do not work extra hours, why is he calling me? Why does he need my attention?“He didn't say, he just asked you to come to his office.I went to Jaxson’s office and for a few seconds he acted like I wasn't there, he ignored me totally.“You sent for me, Jaxson. I’m here now.“You will address me as your boss, this is a workspace so you should work in line with that,
JANE's POV It was the longest wait of my entire life. It seemed like the cars were moving slower. I wished I could push all of them out of my way but that is nearly impossible. I finally got out of the traffic but I was already thirty minutes late. Fear gripped me. I was scared of being fired. When I got to the parking lot, I developed anxiety when I saw Jaxson’s car parked outside. I knew I was already in a big mess. I knew he was going to yell the whole building down. I wore my shoes and took my bag inside. They were having a general staff meeting and all eyes were fixed on me when I opened the door to enter. I wished for the ground to open and swallow me but it didn't work. Jaxson turned and looked at me, and as expected, he began to yell. “Who hired me incompetent hands? Just take a look at the time you are coming to work. It would be even better if you stayed at home. You are over an hour late. How irresponsible can you be? “I was stuck in traffic, sir.“Stuck in traffic? You
