The question resounded through the ear canals of Jennifer. Who the heck did this dude think he was to throw such a shitty question at her? She stopped and turned to him with her eyes furrowed in anger. "Whatโฆ what did you just say?" She asked. Avalon shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I don't mean to pry. But why are you going after a man that's not yours?" Jennifer felt the prick of a needle directly on her heart. What did he know about her? Absolutely nothing! He had no idea how long she had been with Donald for her to feel this broken. "You know nothing about me," she said in a very stern tone. "Don't get involved with my affairs." "That could be true. But then,this guy who knows nothing about you has saved your ass two freaking times. All I'm saying is that you should stay away from them." Jennifer's heart felt broken again and her tears rolled down her cheeks. She dabbed on it slowly and tried to get a grip of herself. There was no need for her to trade words with a commo
The next morning, Jennifer gathered the remaining pieces of herself and got ready for work. She was lucky enough that the whole hassle took place within the time frame of her leave. Had that not been the case, she would definitely have messed up entirely at work. And who knows, maybe she might have lost her job too. If that were to be the case for her, there would be no redemption at all. She stood in front of her mirror and had a final look at her corporate dress sense. A white shirt that went with a pair black pants. She went with black flat leather shoes. She simply wanted something that would not be an additional stress while she took her steps. "Hmm," she exhaled tiredly and grabbed her handbag. Just before leaving, she recalled what Avalon had said. He promised to help her out with the uploaded pictures. Well, he must have been bluffing. But even at that,a part of her prayed that it should be true. She flipped her phone and went into the online space. To her surprise, ther
Jennifer was in total shock and struggled to make a good meaning out of what her boss said to her. She was always on the good side of Mr Carol. By chance,he was not trying to say that her spot had already been taken away from her, was he? No! That would definitely not be the case here. "Good.. good morning, Sir," she managed to greet him. "I doubt if there is anything good for you this morning," he replied repulsively. Jennifer desperately hoped and prayed in her heart that it was not what she had in mind. If not, what other reason would her boss have to be giving her such a cold treatment on a fresh morning? "Sir, I don't seem to understand what you are trying to say here," she said. "Please, make me understand. What is going on?." He scoffed at her. "What don't you understand? I just said you are not longer a staff here. If you need any of our service, you can tell her and she will handle it.." Jennifer's legs suddenly became weak. She staggered back a bit and stro
A couple of weeks later, Jennifer had already moved on from her past. Not like she had a choice. Even if she didn't want to get over her past, there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. Donald was no longer his. Lucy was equally not someone she could refer to as a friend anymore let alone being called best friend. After getting fired from her place of work, it felt as if the whole world was going to crumble right on top of her. But somehow, she ended up finding her head above the water. And thanks to Avalon, life had not been as lonely as she thought it would be. They had become really good friends and were bonded already. "Jennifer!" Ms Mabel's voice called out loudly. "Yes, ma'am!" Jennifer responded almost immediately. Ms Mabel was her new boss. Owing to the scandalous act by Lucy, it was more than difficult to get any job. But somehow, she landed herself in a small restaurant where she now worked as a waitress. The salary was very meager, almost a quarter of what
"Hey, what are you saying?" Avalon asked her. "Come on, finish it up." He giggled. "You wanted to say it's all thanks to me, right? Finish it. I deserve some credits." He was talking and grinning but the lady he was talking to was completely lost. Her mind had veered off from him entirely to the people that were approaching. Lucy and Donald were holding hands and laughing as they approached the glass door. Her mind was beginning to play different tapes again. She shared many memories with him in the past. She could picture herself holding hands with him in that manner. But this time, she's not the one. Her heart seemed to have been pricked again. The wound that she thought had healed completely was becoming fresh again. Avalon was lost. He looked confused. "Jennifer, are you there? What are you looking at?" He followed her gaze to see the two approaching. They were almost at the entrance of the restaurant. Without being told, he could tell the fool called Donald who hurt so
Avalon felt the urge to interfere but he could not. This was between a boss and her employee. Any spontaneous reaction from him could get Jennifer fired from the place she felt she had started getting used to. "Are you stupid?!" The lady yelled at Jennifer. "How can you insult someone like Donald? Are you not aware he's supposed to be given the treatment of a VIP? Damn you, cheap thing!" Lucy giggled. "Are you just getting to know about this whore?" Ms Mabel looked at her, confused. "Whore? What do you mean? My employee isn't a whore." Lucy grinned. "Hold on a second. You accepted this bitch without really knowing what she's capable of." "Please, make me understand," she said politely. Lucy walked around Jennifer with a taunting chuckle. "This bitch used to be my best friend. But that was until she dared to have my sweetheart in between her legs." Tears rolled down the cheeks of Jennifer. She wanted to scream at them but the voice was gone from her. There was no e
The next day, Jennifer got dressed up for work without having any idea what her fate would really turn out to be. It was obvious Ms Mabel was thrilled by the cheap lie that the devil called Lucy had told. Even if she didn't want to believe the lie, she had other reasons to do so. Who would not want to be on the good side of Donald? If Donald had demanded that I should get sacked there and then,she probably would not have wasted even a split second to do so.. Without wasting time,she got out of the house only to see Avalon standing by his cab. She shut her eyes and swallowed the moment. There was no need to speak. She locked the door and started heading out, paying little to no attention to the man who was waiting for her. "Hey, Jenny!" Avalon said as he rushed to her. "Are you really being mad at me?" Jennifer looked at him. When he led her home yesterday, she didn't let him in. She had her fears. She was down emotional and feared that she would end up having to misunderstand
Jennifer didn't want to fall for the temptation of looking at a stranger in such a careless manner. There was no way Avalon would look that way. The guy who just stepped out of his car looked too sophisticated to be an ordinary cab driver. Who would run a cab business with a lamborghini? That was crazy to even think of. "Do you need a ride?" The rich guy asked her. She eyed him. He was obviously not talking to her. Was he looking for someone to flirt with or something? There was no need to even pay attention to him. "Don't tell me you came to beg that brat." Jennifer looked at him with a greater puzzle on her face. Was it really him? "Avaโฆlon?" She managed to say. "Avalon." Avalon smiled and took his shades off. "It's me, Jenny." He drew closer to her. But the lady was too shocked to embrace the reality before her. "Don't!" She said loudly while gesticulating that he should keep his distance from her. "Don'tโฆ come any closer." It was difficult to accept that the same
โBecause I want you to get Jennifer out of this house. I don't care how you are going to do it. I don't want her here. She's a threat to me, and I don't plan on watching you keep her and keep me at the same time. You have to pick one out of us. Do you understand?โ Vicky said and left Mike alone. As he thought about everything, he was considering how to tell Jennifer the truth and keep both of them. Of course, he did not want to lose both of them, for he did not have a choice at this point. He had to let go of one to have the other. And Vicky seemed important at the moment because she was the only one able to give him a child. He had no choice. It was time to tell Jennifer and then chase her out. The evening of that day, Mike had already prepared all of Jennifer's luggage as he kept them in the sitting room and sat there waiting for her. Vicky had also seen when he was packing up all her things, so she felt reassured that Mike was definitely going to ditch Jennifer for good.
Meanwhile, Vicky, on the other hand, was feeling frustrated. Not because she had not gotten what she wantedโof course she always wanted Mike, and now she had him. What else could she possibly want except one thing? To give him a child. Yes, she always said that she would be able to easily give Mike a child. But now that she's in the same situation as Jennifer, it seems as though she could not even do what Jennifer could do. Despite always getting intimate with Mike, she was unable to bring a child for him at all. Instead, it was after a long time that she got pregnant. She was surprised because during those weeks, two weeks or more, she was not in any intimate session with Mike, but she got pregnant. That was when she realized the pregnancy was definitely not for Mike and was for her boyfriend, Ronald. She went to see the doctor to confirm, and he told her the pregnancy was just a few days old, which clearly meant it belonged to Ronald. She felt so frustrated and thought she sho
โWhy are you shouting at me? Donโt you remember what happened?โ she shouted back, but Mike couldnโt recall anything, his mind blank from the alcohol. โYou planned this, didnโt you?โ he accused, hoping it was all a dream. โHow could I plan this? Did I take you to the bar to get drunk?โ she replied, feigning anger while secretly enjoying the situation. Mike realized that while being drunk was his fault, he couldnโt entirely blame Vicky. He stood silently, looking at her before speaking. โYou wonโt tell anyone about this. Jennifer must not find out. I made a mistake, and it won't happen again. Do you understand?โ he said. Vicky, knowing that once Mike had been intimate with her, he would want more, just nodded. โWhy would I tell Jennifer? I want the best for your marriage. This was your mistake, and I warned you about it. But here you are, finally making that huge mistake,โ she said, grabbing the bedsheet and leaving the room. Mike sat on the bed, frustrated and confused about
โI am not running away from you. Get that into your head. Iโm just going out, okay? You can stay and do whatever you want. I donโt plan on getting involved with you again. I made a huge mistake getting involved with you, and I wonโt go back on it. Instead, Iโll avoid it as much as possible,โ Mike said to Vicky. Deep down, he wanted to give in to his lust and pursue her, but he knew that would lead to complications. He believed that if he indulged, Vicky would begin to threaten him. What Mike thought wasnโt how Vicky felt. She was madly in love with him and believed he was all she needed. Vicky knew that if she pressured him, she would lose him again. Watching Mike step out of his room earlier, she noticed his conflicted feelings. She recognized it as lust and planned to use it to her advantage. She nodded slowly, allowing Mike to pass. As he walked away, she bit her lip, determined to win him over. She couldnโt believe someone like Jennifer had him and didnโt appreciate him enough t
When Vicky looked at him, he walked away almost immediately. But Jennifer, who seemed so happy to see Vicky back, helped Vicky with her luggage. She opened the door back to Vicky's room, only for Vicky to see that everything was still intact and Jennifer had not changed anything. She looked at Jennifer with a teary face as Jennifer hugged her once again. โOf course you don't think that I would let my husband chase you away like that. I knew that you would come back. I just needed to persuade him. But for me to do that, you had to leave first. That is why I did not change anything in the room. I left it exactly the way it was because I wanted you. I wanted you back. And I don't want to stay with Mom because that's a lot of torture. I know the kind of person she can be sometimes, and for someone like you who is so open-minded, you two would just end up fighting each other all day long,โ Jennifer said to Vicky. As Vicky was arranging all her things, she thought of a good plan. She
Even though Vicky had left just as Mike wanted, he couldn't help but see that Jennifer was not happy about it. She was most definitely not happy that her sister had left, and now Mike was happy. But she was missing Vicky, and most especially since Jennifer did not have the heart to be cruel to anyone, she felt that she was being too wicked to her sister. She worried that her sister might continue to misjudge her for as long as possible, and that alone caused a lot of thinking for Jennifer. It had been two nights since Vicky left when Jennifer finally spoke to Mike about how she felt. Mike was in the sitting room scrolling through his phone when she sat beside him. He turned to her and noticed her sad expression as he dropped his phone and moved closer to her, wrapping his arm around her. She choked back tears but did not smile. He looked at her and raised her chin so they would be staring into each other's eyes as he shook his head sideways. โYou are not supposed to act this way. Wh
Meanwhile, Jennifer, who was unable to understand what was going on, refused to accept the fact that Mike would say such a thing about her sister. Even though Vicky was very rude and quite stubborn, she would never say her sister would want to ruin her marriage, no matter what. For that reason, she could never believe what Mike said. She shook her head sideways, stood up from the bed, and faced Mike as she placed her hand on his shoulder and lifted his chin with her right hand, looking deep into his eyes. โTrust me, Vicky would never want anything bad for me,โ she said. โIn short, Vicky cares about me, and she just wants the best for me. She always says it, and just so you know, she's the one putting in so much effort and so much of her time so that I can get pregnant for you and let our marriage flourish. So when you say that Vicky wants to do something like that, I am not going to believe it, no matter what you tell me. I could never believe something like that.โ Jennifer contin
As Vicky watched Mike walk away, she couldnโt help but feel more determined. She could see it in the way he was a bit hesitant that he still wanted her and would want to be with her. โIf he got the chance, I would definitely use this against him. I would come back another day. I would not just give up. Instead, this was like motivation for me to do better,โ she said to herself and then left the apartment. Meanwhile, Mike was inside his room feeling frustrated about himself. He couldnโt even take a rest or even take a quick nap because he was so frustrated. He could not understand why he even had the thought of thinking or even cheating on Jennifer with Vicky. Vicky looked like somebody who didnโt even know what she wanted. Mike decided to take a quick rest. But a few minutes after he had tried all his best to sleep, Jennifer walked into the room looking all exhausted. As she rushed towards him with her hands wide open, Mike also stood up as they hugged
Vicky wasted no time in getting closer to Mike as her shoulders bumped with his. He looked at her from head to toe, and that was when Mike also realized that she was dressed very skimpily. Even the way she sat down felt like she was opening her body totally to him. Mike tried his best just to look away because he did not want to get involved with Vicky in any way.โDonโt try to act slutty. I didnโt expect you to be slutty in any way. Why are you trying to touch me this way? Jennifer was not here. You can go back to your room now,โ Mike said to Vicky, who shook her head sideways.โYou canโt tell me to leave. I know you want me. I know you need me here. It was obvious I could see it in you. So stop trying to push me away because at the end of the day, you need me even more,โ Vicky said to Mike, even though she doubted that Mike might actually fall for it.Meanwhile, Mike contemplated that he really did need someone, and Jennifer seemed to be busy these few days, and he wanted a child in
