JACKSON~•~I didn’t know why I told Kimberly I’d make the tacos when I knew damn well I hadn’t made tacos in my life, but that didn’t mean I wouldn’t try though.I was trying to win her back, which meant I was going to do whatever she wanted, including the things she didn’t ask me to do.That was exactly why I searched for several taco recipes on the internet and only went with the most common recipe. It took a while but I finally made it.By the time I was done in the kitchen, Amelia had woken up again. I cursed under my breath when she trudged into the kitchen to meet me. I’d been hoping to have some alone time with Kimberly.I knew she was quite embarrassed after she cried in my arms. I wanted to assure her that I didn’t think any less of her.“Daddy, what are you making?”“Tacos, baby.”“Tacos? They’re my favorite!” She jumped up and down.“Really?” I indulged her.“Yes! Mummy makes them when she’s happy.”I looked into the living room and Kimberly was focused on typing on her la

52. Own boss

KIMBERLY~•~I paused. That wasn’t a bad idea, but “I have never thought about that.”“You’re welcome.” He grinned smugly.I rolled my eyes before suddenly looking at him. “Is this come kind of ploy to bring me closer to you?”“It isn’t not a plot.” He emphasized. “But I’m also suggesting this for your good. This way, you get to be your own boss and no man would fire you just because they broke up with you.”I groaned. “Don’t remind me.” I was trying to forget about that. I wanted to move on as soon as possible. George was right. The only way we could move on was if we never saw each other again.“You really have never thought about it before?”I shook my head. I never thought I’d be civil with Jackson again, especially after the stunt he pulled last week, but here I was with him on my couch late at night. “My job at George’s firm was the first proper job I’d ever had. I have never thought of starting my own company. I don’t think it’s easy.”“It’s not.” He affirmed. “But I’ll be ther

53. Pack up

KIMBERLY~•~Amelia didn’t go to school thr next day. She was going to be starting at a new school soon so it was better for her to not get attached to her friends if she hadn’t already. Since she had slept early the previous night, she woke up according and came to wake me up in my room.I yawned sleepily, trying to ignore her but the girl was persistent. She wasn’t a baby but she wanted everyone to be awake whenever she was. “What is it?” I asked begrudgingly when she continued shaking me awake.“You said I’m going to school today so I have to wake up early.”I groaned. I remembered saying that to her yesterday afternoon but a lot of things had happened in less than twenty-four fours. A lot of things had changed as well. “You’re not going to school today,” I told her bluntly.“Why?” She pouted. “I want school!”The sleep was completely cleared from my eyes as I sat up on the bed. “Would you like to go to New York?”“New York?” She frowned.“The place we took the plane to last tim

54. Breakfast

KIMBERLY~•~“This is so entertaining!” Emelda exclaimed as I walked past her with a box stacked on another.I rolled my eyes, ignoring her. The only reason she was making such comments was because she was looking for a fight. There was no other reason. And I wasn’t going to give it to her. I wasn’t a child.She continued making several comments even as I reached the elevator. When I got downstairs, everyone gasped in unison.“Miss Kim, are you leaving us?”“Were you fired?”“Of course not! Why would her boyfriend fire her? She probably resigned.”“Kimberly, we’ll miss you.”I chuckled. At least most of my colleagues loved me and liked to work with me. “I’ll miss you guys too.”“What happened? Are you working elsewhere?”There were a lot of questions that I didn’t have answers to. I just assured them that I wouldn’t forget about them and would make sure to reach out now and then. They accepted my words and two of the guys took the boxes from me and helped me take them to my car.“Than

55. Brother

JACKSON~•~I wanted to wait for Kimberly so we could all go back to New York today but she suggested I leave first with Amelia. It was the first time I was going to be traveling alone with a child. I couldn’t deny that I was quite scared.However, since Kimberly trusted me to fly alone with Amelia, it meant I had nothing to worry about. Amelia was very excited to go on an airplane anyway.I’d always wondered why my father had a private jet but now that I was to fly with my daughter, I was contemplating buying one as well. Amelia’s suitcase was bigger than expected, which made me wonder how long Kimberly would take to come to New York. According to her, she wanted to wrap up some loose ends. The only thing that gave me hope that she’d eventually relocate was the fact that Amelia was coming with me and she would never abandon her.“Is it okay if I introduce Amelia to Asher? He is staying with me for a while.” I didn’t want to do anything that she wouldn’t be comfortable with. Kimberly

56. Start over

JACKSON~•~I watched as they stared at each other curiously. As expected, Amelia was the first to break the silence. She turned to look at me. “My classmate told me she had a lot of brothers and sisters. Now I finally have a brother. Daddy, can you give me a sister too?”My eyes went wide but she stared at me with such hopeful eyes that I didn’t dare deny her. “I’ll try my best, baby.”Asher, on the other hand, “I don’t want a sister!”Ameli looked at him, her eyes almost popping out. “You don’t want me?” She asked the question with puppy dog eyes, looking so sad that even Asher got the gist that he couldn’t affirm it.“That’s not what I meant. I– You–“I laughed when he stumbled on his words. Even though they were just kids, I was thankful that they didn’t hold any resentment for each other. No child liked to share their parents with someone they had never seen before. I could only hope the world didn’t strip them of their purity.“Asher, why don’t you show Amelia around? When you

57. Interesting

KIMBERLY~•~Having Amelia in a different city prompted me to move faster. I only lasted two more days in California before I was packing up my shit to leave. I hadn’t even found an apartment yet. I intended to stay at a hotel while I figured that out.I had thought a break would be nice. I’d been working and taking care of Amelia all year round. I deserved a vacation yet my heart wasn’t at peace, knowing she was a few hours away from me.My house was almost empty as I’d spent the last two days fitting all we had into boxes. I wasn’t moving them with me. I’d ship them to New York after I got settled there.I was just about to leave the house when I got a text from Jackson. He had told his IT guy to track the source of the article before removing it and he told me it was from my office, along with the model of the phone used. All the evidence pointed to Emelda.I contemplated paying her a visit but I didn’t want to run into George again which was why I merely sent a text.I forwarded h

58. Quite close

KIMBERLY ~•~ I was surprised that the two men knew each other. I was even more shocked to see them glaring at each other. I cocked my head, looking between the two men. “Do you know each other?” “Yes, we do,” Chris answered me. “We’ve met a lot.” “Have we?” Jack acted oblivious. “You must be a fan. Sorry, I don’t recall you.” However, the glare suggested otherwise. It was obvious Jackson knew how Chris was. He just didn’t like him. Chris laughed, not caring about Jack’s dab. “Well, how would you? You’re too busy running after your ex-wife in California to be aware of your surroundings. What a businessman you are.” Chris paused when all of us remained silent and his eyes went wide as he turned to look at me. “Oh, oh.” He had come to a realization that I was the ex-wife he was speaking out. “This is no shade to you, Kim.” “Kim?” Jackson repeated, unamused. “You’re acquainted?” “We’re quite close if I do say so myself.” Chris bragged even if all I knew about him was his na

59. Old lovers

KIMBERLY ~•~ Caroline dropped everything she was holding and ran toward me. In all the years we’d known each other, she’d never hugged me nor I, her, but this time we couldn’t help ourselves. She careened toward me and I opened my arms, accepting her hug wholeheartedly. “I’ve been waiting for you for forever, ma’am.” I laughed, hugging her even tighter. “I’m not your boss anymore, Caro. You can call me Kimberly.” “I dare not.” She responded, not bothering to release me from the hug. I allowed her to hug me as long as she wanted. I missed her as well. I would have brought her along with me if I didn’t want to leave every trace of my past behind. I never thought of the possibility that after five years, she would still be working for Jackson. I thought I had inevitably lost all contact with her. After what felt like forever, she finally pulled back. Sparing no restraints, she held my face and turned it from side to side, inspecting me carefully. “Have you been well all th

60. Taken

JACKSON~•~I hated that I knew Paige so well but it was exactly because I knew her that well that I knew she didn’t have any good intentions toward Amelia.She had repeatedly said that Kimberly was lying about her pregnancy in the past and that she knew a pregnant woman when she saw one. She had gotten in my head a lot and I was stupid to believe her.She knew that her only connection to me was Asher. She hated that Kimberly had that same connection to me. She hated Kimberly. Period.“What are you talking about?” She tried to act innocent as though she didn’t have a murderous look in her eyes just a few minutes ago.“I’ve warned you, Paige,” I told her anyway. “If you even go near her, you’ll have me to deal with. Trust me, you don’t want that.”If it wasn’t for Asher, Paige would be in jail by now. She had done a lot of things that would get her in trouble but I overlooked them because none of her shenanigans caused real damage to me or anyone around me. Amelia was a different case
