51. More Manipulation

_______________...~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~."What an Oscar-worthy performance," William said dryly as he drove.I grunted."It wasn't good enough if it didn't make her run back to me like I was the oxygen she breathed," I replied."You're drunk," William said, his voice devoid of any emotion.I rolled my eyes. "I have drunk, Harvey. That does not mean that I am drunk. If I were, I would have probably messed up our plan."He shook his head, turning to give me a glare before turning back to the road. "Don't call it 'our' plan, Reign. This was solely your idea.""But you played along with me, didn't you?" I smirked.William didn't say anything for a moment. "You're playing with fire, Jackson. You keep complicating things. Now that you have come clean about most of the things, then why don't you come clean to her about this also. She might do as she is told if you are just honest with her. It was always that simple for you. But you just keep spinning a web that, my friend, I am worri

52. Yes And No

_________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ . "Liv-""And can you ask Harvey to get the papers ready for me to transfer your mother's legacy back to you?" I asked. "I would ask Sarah but she is being more than generous with me and I do not want to burden her with anything more.""Liv-""Please, Jackson." I sighed, getting up from the couch. "I need a clean break."Jackson sighed, looking down. When he looked up, he had a small sad smile on his face. "I fucked up beyond repair, didn't I? Just tell me something, anything, that I can do to make your pain a little less."I stared at him, feeling that treacherous prickle at the corner of my eyes.I didn't want to cry.But it was getting harder to keep it all inside by the day.It was so difficult.Every day, my heart broke for the little girl who waited for her Daddy."Can you..." My voice broke so I had to clear my throat. "Can you be there for her?" I asked. "Can you stay in Monkey's life?"He stared at me for a long moment and for

53. Change of Mind

_________________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."For now. It is inevitable. It will happen, I promise. Just not now."Sarah and I just stared at each other for a long moment."You..." She opened her mouth, sighed, and then shut it.I smiled at her."YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!" I jumped when she yelled out, shaking me violently. "DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD? SHOULD I TAKE YOU TO THE ER? IS THAT IT?"I sighed. "I know it sounds like a dumb idea right now but-""Oh, it doesn't sound like a dumb idea! IT IS A DUMB IDEA!" She glared at me. "Liv, I know you have this need to fix everyone around you but please, can you make an exception this one time? He is the one who pushed you into a shark-infested ocean five years ago and left you there to be feasted on. He does not get to ask for your help now that karma has hit him and he is in the same condition you were in five years ago.""He didn't ask anything of me," I argued. "He transferred Lilith Corp. to my name and looks like he is ready

54. Maybe This Is A Chance?

_________...~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~."Good, because I have changed my mind."My left eye twitched as I fought to control my reaction."Y-yeah?" I cleared my throat. "You finally agree that you deserve to own Lilith Corp. after everything that I have done to you?""Well," she began, folding her hands in her lap. "I thought about it. And I realized that maybe I do need to reconsider everything and give everything a second thought."Why the hell was she being so vague?She wanted out. She wants out.She was not an idiot who would stay with me after all that I had done. So she was going to leave. But now, she was taking Lilith Corp. with her. Maybe William was right. Maybe I should not have let everything to the goodness of her heart."Jackson." Her voice was calm, soothing even. "I don't want the company. That still stands."The tension in my shoulders eased slightly. "But?"She wants full custody of Monkey, surely."But, I am willing to hold off on the divorce."The words hung in

55. Big Brother And Matchmaking

_________...~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~."Don't you think this is getting too frequent?" William asked as he plopped down on the barstool next to me. I glanced at him sideways. "What is?" "You acting like you are regretting your entire life?" He snickered. I glared at him. I knew he was going to start with it all over again. I didn't know what his problem was - he did not like Olivia. He was on my side from the beginning. I wanted to know what changed in the past months so I turned to face him. "Why are you team Olivia these days?" I asked him. "We have had this conversation." He rolled his eyes. "I am not team Olivia. I have never been team Olivia. I am team dumbass Reign. I want him to be happy. Should I record the answer this time so that I can play it the next time you accuse me of the same thing?" I swirled the drink in my glass. I might as well just shut up because I don't know what to say or believe anymore."Reign," William began, his voice firm but not unkind. "You

56. Beach House and Accidental Kisses

_______ . . .~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~ . "This is our new home?" Kelsey squealed as she ran up the stairs to the beach house. "Yes it is." I smiled at my daughter and looked over at Jackson, who had a vacant look on his face. He had been like this since we had that talk in his office. Did I push him too much? The thought kept nagging at me as I watched him drag his feet across the sand. "You okay?" I asked as I watched the movers carry the boxes inside. Jackson nodded, but his eyes remained fixed on the horizon, the waves crashing against the shore. "Jackson, what's wrong?" I asked again. He turned to me and he looked irritated. "You. You are what's wrong." "What? What did I do?" Jackson's jaw tensed as he stepped closer. "What did you do? Liv... Olivia, I can't even call you Liv because I killed that part of you, didn't I? So Olivia, you are making me feel like trash by doing this." I took a step back, not knowing what to say. "I didn't-" "No, you don't get to do tha

57. This Is Nice

___________...~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~ . "Now I am worried." I turned to see William walking towards me with two cans of beer. "About what?" I asked. "You. What else?" He rolled his eyes as he plopped down next to me on the sand. "I am worried that Olivia is right about you being in a dark place." I snorted. "Are you going to get on Olivia's heal-thy-asshole-husband bandwagon now?" I took the can from him and opened it, taking a swig. "I am not a fan of Olivia." He said. I snorted again, this time choking a little on my drink. "That's not what it looks like these days." "Well, your happiness and my niece's happiness happen to be dependent on her so forgive me for wanting her well-being as well." He justified. I gave him a sideways glance. For someone who had sworn to have no kids or like them, William dotted on Kelsey way too much."So you kissed Sarah Hopkins-""Shut up! That was an accident and it is never happening again." He grumbled, looking away. I chuckled. "

58. Bickering

____________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."My baby brother!" Kelsey exclaimed. "When will I get my baby brother?"I froze.I had thought that she had dropped the whole thing but I guess I was wrong."Not anytime soon." Jackson beat me to the reply.Kelsey pouted, her big eyes watering. "Why not?" She sniffled."Mommy and Daddy once told you how we fought and acted like strangers right?" He asked.She nodded. "Yeah, but then you became friends again, right?" She asked, her innocent eyes bulging out of her sockets."Yeah, we did." He continued to speak. "But when grown-ups fight and act like strangers, it takes a little longer for things to be all fine. And you can't have a brother until then."Kelsey's bottom lip quivered as she digested the words. I narrowed my eyes at Jackson. I hated the conviction with which he implied that it will all be fine in a little while and Kelsey could have a brother then.But I didn't want to challenge him on it, not right now. Not when the night was b

59. An Old Friend

_____________...~ ~ ~ J A C K S O N ~ ~ ~ .Stress. I guess when God made me, he accidentally poured a whole tanker of stress into my life. I rubbed the back of my neck as I stared at the message from my asshole best friend. WILLIAM HARVEY: It's taking longer than I thought. Both of the works. I swore as I threw the paperweight across the room. I wiped the sweat off my forehead. "LILIANA!" I yelled. "LILIANA, GET IN HERE!" My middle-aged PA hurried in, looking wide-eyed at the shattered paperweight on the floor. "Why isn't the air conditioner working?" I spat at her. She looked at me weirdly. "WHAT?" "I will get it checked right away, Sir." She said. "And get one of those paperweights." I waved dismissively at the wet mess on my floor. It was a gift from Olivia when we were first engaged. I didn't know if she had noticed it the last time she had visited, but if she did she would make some other pathetic assumption about the whole situation. "Of course, Sir." She pick

60. Picnic Plans

__________...~ ~ ~ O L I V I A ~ ~ ~."Monkey is not going to be happy that you left without meeting her," I told Harry as he wrapped his arms around me, lifting me off the ground and giving me a shake before putting me back down."I will come visit. I really need to go this time." He mumbled as he stepped back. "Give her all the gifts. I tell her I sent them, not that I was actually here. Thanks for having me.""No, thank you for spending time with me when your schedule is so packed." I smiled.He nodded and put his hand out to Jackson who took it. "It was good to see you, man."Jackson simply nodded, not saying anything. He was awfully quiet since lunch. And I think I know what this is about.I waved until the cab disappeared and turned to Jackson. "Jackson, it's all in the past." "I didn't say anything." He muttered before abruptly turning on his heel and stalking into the house.I rolled my eyes before following him. "So you are not pissed Harry was with me during the preg
