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? "Ava…lon?" 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't… come any closer." It was difficult to accept that the same
Jennifer's eyes twitched. Was this a joke or something? No, no. There was no way she heard the correct thing. Marry him? He had to be bluffing. "What?" She asked in shock. "What did you just say?" Avalon stroked his hair. "Can you just get into the car? We can talk about this better." "Can you repeat what you said? I don't think I heard you correctly." Avalon took a few steps closer to her. "I said I want to get married to you. Be my wife." Out of the blue, Jennifer bursted out into fits of laughter. Avalon could not help but feel ashamed. People were passing and she was laughing that loudly. "What's funny?" He asked. "I'm being serious right now." Jennifer wiped the traces of laughter. "You have got to be kidding me. Did you really think I would fall for this cheap ploy of yours?" "I mean it, Jennifer. Let's have a chat in the car. Standing here like this won't really be helpful." "What are you so scared of?" She asked. "Are you scared that people will see you dress
Jennifer, after a good while of being convinced, got into the car and Avalon drove off, stopping only after they arrived at her home. They both got in and settled down. But no one said a word. The atmosphere was entirely new and felt very strange for both parties. Avalon having to turn up in his true identity was a whole lot to deal with. "Can you stop?" He asked her. Jennifer sat on the opposite couch with both legs curled into the couch. She just kept on staring at him without saying a word. "Can you please stop?" Avalon asked again. "And what exactly am I doing that I have to stop?" She asked with a pouty face. "You keep staring at me. It makes me uncomfortable." She giggled. "Are you certain that's the reason for your discomfort? Or by any means, does this small apartment of mine now look too bad and low for someone of your caliber to stay?" Avalon sighed and stroked h
Meanwhile, Vicky, on the other hand, was feeling frustrated. Not because she had not gotten what she wanted—of 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
“Why are you shouting at me? Don’t you remember what happened?” she shouted back, but Mike couldn’t recall anything, his mind blank from the alcohol. “You planned this, didn’t you?” he accused, hoping it was all a dream. “How could I plan this? Did I take you to the bar to get drunk?” she replied, feigning anger while secretly enjoying the situation. Mike realized that while being drunk was his fault, he couldn’t entirely blame Vicky. He stood silently, looking at her before speaking. “You won’t tell anyone about this. Jennifer must not find out. I made a mistake, and it won't happen again. Do you understand?” he said. Vicky, knowing that once Mike had been intimate with her, he would want more, just nodded. “Why 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,” she said, grabbing the bedsheet and leaving the room. Mike sat on the bed, frustrated and confused about
“I am not running away from you. Get that into your head. I’m just going out, okay? You can stay and do whatever you want. I don’t plan on getting involved with you again. I made a huge mistake getting involved with you, and I won’t go back on it. Instead, I’ll avoid it as much as possible,” 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 wasn’t 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 couldn’t believe someone like Jennifer had him and didn’t 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. “Of 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,” 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. “You 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. “Trust me, Vicky would never want anything bad for me,” she said. “In 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.” Jennifer contin
As Vicky watched Mike walk away, she couldn’t 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. “If 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,” she said to herself and then left the apartment. Meanwhile, Mike was inside his room feeling frustrated about himself. He couldn’t 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 didn’t 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.“Don’t try to act slutty. I didn’t 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,” Mike said to Vicky, who shook her head sideways.“You can’t 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,” 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
Vicky arrived at her sister's house and knocked on the door only to be stunned to see that it was Mike who answered the door.He looked at her with an expressionless face and just walked in. She followed behind him and squealed in happiness as she felt so much joy at the fact that she would be alone with Mike. She quickly covered up her excitement with a frown on her face as she looked around like she was still searching for Jennifer.Mike sat on the chair and crossed his leg, and then his attention went back to Vicky who was still standing and trying to act all polite. "Where is Jennifer?" she had said with a quiet tone as Mike rolled his eyes at her."Are you really looking for Jennifer? Because she left and I'm more than sure she would have told you about it that she's going somewhere," Mike had said and went back to scrolling through his phone.Jennifer did not know how to come up with her plan but she knew that today was going to be her chance to get Mike to like her. "This was a
