21. Annoyance

Chapter 21KIMBERLY~•~I expected some reporters but I didn’t think they would completely block off the entrance to the courthouse.George looked at me with an amused smile. “You aren’t getting off?”“Would you?”He laughed. “I didn’t know you were so famous. Who could have thought?”“Shut up.” I gritted out. I looked out the window again, seeing them waiting patiently. It was a good thing the windows were tinted or they would have swarmed the car already. “We have enough evidence to end this case today, right?”“Yeah, there’s a recording, footage of his employee stealing the contract, and the contract itself. I think this case is done.”“Good. We’ll leave tomorrow.”“You’re so eager to leave.”“Of course. I do not want to deal with this.” I gestured to the crowd outside.George looked at the watch on his wrist. “If we don’t go in now, we’ll be late and today might just be another waste.”“Fine.” I exhaled heavily, preparing myself to go through the crowd.“I’ll go out first, okay?”

22. Love

KIMBERLY~•~“What the fuck is this?”“I should be asking you that question. Kimberly.” Jackson exasperated.“Yeah, you had me followed and photographed but of course, I don’t have any right to ask questions.” My words were dripping with sarcasm as I threw the pictures at his feet.“That’s not the point, Kimberly. You have a daughter!”Fuck. I had no intention of letting him find out about Amelia which was why I wanted to leave New York as soon as possible, but now, there was no denying the fact that I was a mother. However, I could still hide the fact that she carried his DNA. “And so? Am I not allowed to have a life after leaving you?” I questioned, acting like I wasn’t affected.“She’s mine, isn’t she?”I snorted. “You are crazy. She’s not yours.”“Of course, she is! You told me you were pregnant before you left. She’s my daughter. Stop lying.”“I was lying back then. I wasn’t pregnant. My pathetic ass only wanted to stay with you by making up things.” I lied boldly without batting

23. Expect me soon

KIMBERLY~•~“I’m going to miss you guys a lot, Kim.” Reiya pouts, hugging me and Amelia at the same time.“You’ll visit California, won’t you? It’s not like we’re continents apart.”“You’re right.” She sighed, finally releasing me. “Don’t let me hold you up.” Reiya had driven us to the airport this morning and she was reluctant to let us go.George chuckled at her theatrics and she glared at him. She took a step back, waving at me. “Bye!”“Bye.” I chuckled, but before I could turn to leave, a car zooming towards us caught my attention. The car stopped right in front of us and the back door opened to reveal Jackson.My eyes widened as he strode purposefully towards us. Reiya stared at me. So did George. Meanwhile, Amelia stared curiously at the figure approaching us.“W-what are you d-doing here?” I stumbled over my words, taken aback.“I can’t let you leave, Kimberly. Not like this.” His eyes were pleasing and I could tell that he didn’t take into consideration all that I told him t

24. A match

JACKSON~•~The last time we had a family meeting was when I was twenty-six, back when my parents wanted to tell me about the wedding arrangement with Kimberly. Well, my father wanted to announce it to all of us. My mother was against it because she thought Kimberly wasn’t good enough but my father’s words were law.I didn’t agree to the marriage at first, but my father promised to step down for me and let me take over as CEO. It was just a wedding and the woman I wanted had left me already so I saw no problem in a marriage of convenience. Kimberly was a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. I wouldn’t have any losses.We were having another family meeting for the first time in eight years and yet again, it was about Kimberly.“Are the rumors true?” My father asked in a deep baritone voice.“They might be.”“What the hell does that mean?” My mother imputed. “Are you seriously considering going back to that woman?”“Mom, you needed to see the way he insulted me because of her. She has bewi

25. Parted ways

KIMBERLY~•~I was more than happy when I got back to California, leaving the problems of New York behind. Even though Jackson’s last words to me haunted me a bit, I tried not to dwell on it too much.George gave me a week’s break from work after our little trip, giving me enough time to spend with Amelia. She had spent most of our time in New York with Reiya.We had been home together for two days and I had watched more Disney cartoons than I ever did when I was a child. We built a fort in the living room and didn’t sleep on our beds for the last two nights. I wanted to spend as much time with her as I could before the school session started and she had to resume school.“You’ve had too much sugar and it’s only eleven o’clock, Amelia,” I explained as we sat on the couch, watching another Disney movie.“I didn’t take sugar!” She argued.I chuckled. “The candies you’ve been eating contain sugar. A lot of them.”“I want candy, not sugar.”I shook my head softly. “You’ve had too much can

26. Daddy

KIMBERLY~•~I paused, uncertain I heard him properly. Jackson was normally a cold and aloof man. The only woman I knew he ever loved was Paige and the only reason they broke up was because she moved away and she didn’t want long distance.Or did she dump him again?I wouldn’t lie and say I wasn’t intrigued but I wasn’t about to let him know that. “I don’t see how that concerns me, Jackson. If you’re having problems with Paige, you should go and meet her and sort things out instead of disturbing my life.”“Paige and I are over, Kim.” He explained. “If she’s the reason you’re skeptical about giving me a chance, then you’re good. We ended on very bad terms and have no chance of getting back together. I never want to see her again.”My tongue poked the inside of my cheek. “That’s exactly how I feel about you, Jackson. We also ended on bad terms and I hate you so much for what you did to me. I also never want to see you again. I don’t know if Paige was your Karma but the way you feel abou

27. Tomorrow

JACKSON~•~For the first time since I ran into Kimberly at that restaurant, I was taking a step back to think about my actions. I still wanted her back, that was for sure, but I needed to also think about what she wanted. I was in love with her, which meant I had to put her happiness first. I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable by being around her all the time. I knew how I would feel if Paige tried to get back with me.I hated myself for accusing her of lying. I hated myself for threatening her and the kind doctor who revealed her pregnancy. I hated myself for doubting her when she’d been nothing but a kind and supportive wife. I hated myself for not appreciating her and taking advantage of her kindness.As soon as Paige was back in my life, I pushed Kimberly out. That was my biggest mistake. Sure, Paige came back with my child but Kimberly was still my wife.I also hated the fact that I was connected to Paige forever. I hated her but I couldn’t hate the child we had together. I

28. Hurts

KIMBERLY~•~Amelia loved going to the park.She was only four but I could already tell she was an outdoor girl.“Mommy, can I have ice cream?” She asked, pointing to the ice cream truck. Her favorite part about the park was the ice cream truck that was always present. She asked for a new cone as soon as she finished the first one and if I wasn’t good at saying no, she’d be taking an unhealthy amount of sugar.Before I could respond, she pouted, giving me her regular puppy dog look. I pinched her cheeks, making her wince exaggeratedly. “You’re so adorable. Let’s go.”As I stood up from the bench and took her hand in mine, I came to an immediate stop. I had been the one to call him but somehow, I was still surprised to see Jackson walking toward us.He was donning a very casual outfit, but I was certain it cost thousands of dollars. Everything about Jackson was expensive. I would know.When I halted, Amelia looked up at me, confused. But then, she followed my gaze and when she saw Jack

29. Regret

JACKSON~•~I never thought the first day I’d be spending with my daughter would end with all of us in the hospital.It was crazy. One second, she was grinning happily on the swing. The next, she was on the ground, crying that her leg was hurting.I felt responsible. I had been the one to put her on the swing and that ended with her in pain.Arthur had dropped me off at the park but Kimberly had driven there. She gave me directions to the hospital and I drove as fast as I could while she stayed in the back seat with Amelia, trying to comfort her.Since none of us were professionals, we couldn’t determine exactly what was wrong. We couldn’t even touch her foot for fear of making it worse, but from the way she kept crying, I could tell it was bad.“Drive faster, Jack!” Kim yelled out from the back when Amelia started crying again.“Any faster than this, then we won’t be able to explain to the cops if we get pulled over. That will waste even more time.” I tried to explain gently. I knew

30. Kiss

KIMBERLY~•~“We haven’t seen you for a while.” The receptionist said as I walked past.I smiled warmly. “The boss loves overworking me. What can I say?”“Good morning, Miss Watson.”“Morning Kim!”I responded to the greetings as I walked toward the elevator. I loved my job but sometimes going back to work after a break – short or not – was annoying. I hadn’t been to the office in three weeks yet I was already used to not being around.The elevator took me to my floor and the first place I went to was my boss’ office. I knocked twice, then pushed the door open.It was early in the morning yet he was already nose deep in huge files. “Missed me?” He looked up at the sound of my voice. “Thank God you’re back, Kimberly. I can’t deal with all these cases myself.”“Sure sure.” I drawled sarcastically. “Bury me with work as soon as I resume.”“It’s different this time, Kim,” George said as he stood up to approach me. He closed the door behind me and placed his hand on the small of my back,
