61. My fault

KIMBERLY~•~There was a loud ringing in my ear and my eyes were going blurry, but I forced myself to stay in the present as the taxi zoomed toward Amelia’s new school. I couldn’t believe what Jackson said to me over the phone. I hadn’t processed it yet. I was hoping that when I got to her school, I would see Amelia.I arrived at the school to see that kids were playing as they usually did at the end of any school day. I didn’t even know where to go so I pulled out my phone and called Jackson again. Thankfully, he answered immediately or I might have run mad.“Where are you?”“Principal’s office.”I hung up and went straight there. I didn’t bother to knock. When I went inside, I saw Asher sitting on a bench while Jackson was exchanging words with the principal.Asher ran toward me, wrapping his hands around my waist. “Aunty.” He sniffled. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to lose Amelia. It was my fault.”I took a deep breath and pushed down all the feelings threatening to pour. I couldn’t

62. Kidnapper

KIMBERLY~•~Paige was not taking her calls. She had gone into hiding, which further proved her guilt.Jackson and I visited her house but when we got there, the door had been left open. Her clothes had been thrown around in the room as though she had been in a rush.It frustrated me. Getting to her was the fastest way to find Amelia but she was nowhere to be found. I felt like punching something and her face was number one on the list.“What are we going to do now?” I asked Jackson as we left Paige’s place.“Arthur has informed me that there were only three cars that looked like mine. They are tracking all three of them.”I nodded. I wasn’t going to be relieved until Amelia was back in my arms but that was a start. Jackson didn’t even bother to tell the police. He had his men get the CCTV footage close to the school and we had started from there.“Let’s go back to my place. Asher must have finished drawing by now. From there, we’ll go to the police.”I nodded, letting him take the le

63. Wrong men

JACKSON~•~Paige hired the wrong men for the job. When we arrived at the house, all three of them were just sitting on the couch, watching TV. It seemed as if they hadn’t even seen the news or they would have fled by now.I was the first to enter and they were on alert immediately. “Who are you?” One of the fools asked.I didn’t answer. I just signaled the cops and soon, five cops were inside with me, guns drawn, and pointed at the three men on the couch.“Hands behind your heads.” One of the cops commanded while I started looking through the apartment.It was a small one and the first door I opened, which was the bedroom, revealed my daughter. It had been locked from the outside.She was sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall and hugging herself. “Kimberly!” At the sound of my voice, Amelia’s head snapped to me. “Daddy!” She stood up at once but before she could run, she fell to the ground. I rushed toward her immediately and picked her up.Kimberly rushed inside the roo

64. Adore

KIMBERLY~•~Twenty-four hours later my parents hadn’t stopped calling me yet. After Reiya came over the previous day, I called George back and after I assured him that Amelia was fine, he hung up.I tried to call him after that but his number wasn’t going through. He had blocked me again.That was what I should have done to my parents but I just couldn’t bring myself to block them or change my number, no matter how much I tried. I hated it.I knew that if they ever tried to apologize to me, I would run back to them. No matter how grown I was, I still craved the approval of my parents. It was almost pathetic.Not to anyone’s surprise, my phone rang again.Reiya pursed her lips. She had a lot to say but she was keeping it to herself. I was still sensitive from the whole Amelia situation and she didn’t want to annoy me or get me mad.“Mommy, your phone keeps ringing,” Amelia stated the obvious. The least I could do was keep it silent but I couldn’t. The ringing reminded me how much my p

65. Tips

JACKSON~•~I would think that being thirty-four already would save me from scoldings, but it seemed like my father didn’t give a damn if I was five or fifty. He was going to scold me anyway.“What is this I’m hearing about a child, Jackson?” My father asked, his eyes narrowed on me.I had finally taken his calls and was sitting across from him in his home office.“And why am I just hearing about it now?” He fired another question before I could answer the first one. “Do you know what the media is saying about both of you right now? Our stocks are reducing! What do you have to say about that?”I pinched the bridge of my nose. I had promised my father that I would take care of the company properly but somehow my personal affairs were affecting the company. I couldn’t help it.“Why did you even have to announce to the public you had a child with your ex-wife? Couldn’t you have taken care of this quietly?”“My daughter’s life was at stake, father,” I emphasized, finally answering him. “W

66. Surprised

KIMBERLY~•~I was absolutely taken by surprise when I stepped out of the lobby of the hotel and was suddenly surrounded by cameras and reporters.I couldn’t even turn back because I was caught in between all of them. I hissed in annoyance. This could have been avoided if I moved to my apartment as scheduled. “Is it true that you’re a single mother?”“Did Jackson abandon you for another woman?”“Is Jackson Clarke the father of the baby?”“Did you cheat on him?”“Did he leave you because of your infidelity?”“Who is the father of your child?”I gritted my teeth as I pushed through the crowd, not caring if they hit each other or not. If I had known they were outside, I never would have come out. How the hell did they find my hotel anyway? These people were crazy.I’d done my best to ignore all the weird and disrespectful articles they published about me. As long as it wasn’t affecting me, I didn’t see any reason to react to it. Stalking me, however, was a different story. If I had know

67. Proposition

JACKSON~•~“I have a suggestion, but I feel like you’re going to punch me for it.”Kimberly eyed me warily. She knew she wouldn’t like what I’d say but her curiosity got the better of her. “What is that?” I shifted away from her, sitting at the far end of the couch so there would be enough space between us. She chuckled. “Just spit it out already.”“I know you’ve seen all the articles and every other thing the news outlet is saying concerning us.”“I have…” she said hesitantly like she was scared to hear what I had to say after she knew the topic of conversation.“Amelia will be enrolled in a new school soon.” I didn’t know if attending three different schools in the space of two months was going to traumatize our daughter but I sincerely hoped not. Kimberly was considering homeschooling but then, she thought of how much Amelia loved school so we had to start searching for a new school with very tight security.We finally found one. It was a lot more expensive than the last one but i

68. Suspicious

KIMBERLY~•~Jackson thought a good way to show the public that we were together was to follow him to a charity gala.Those were my worst types of events. It was just a farce. It was a bunch of rich people pretending they had humanity. It was filled with fake ass people who would love to see you crumble but would worship the ground you walked on as long as you were on a higher level than them.How could I ever say no to that?Well, I did say no but Jackson ended up convincing me and now, we were in front of the hall where the event was being hosted.We were still in the limousine and the reporters were eagerly staring at it, wondering who was coming out.“Can I go out now?” Jackson questioned, staring at me.I’d told him to give me a minute before he went out and I was hoping that minute would stretch into two or three. Jackson was unnecessarily punctual. “Fine.”“Don’t worry, it’ll be alright. You don’t have to talk to anyone you don’t want to.”“I don’t intend to.” I scoffed.Jackso

69. Smitten

KIMBERLY~•~It was weird to think that Chris lied to me. I only met him once he acted like he only recognized me when he saw me with Jackson.What exactly was he up to? What was his deal? What would he gain from pretending he didn’t know who I was?A lot of people in New York knew me as long as they knew Jackson. Whether I liked it or not, I was automatically an extension of him. If Chris was Jackson’s rival as claimed, then he definitely knew me. Business rivals tried their best to find out everything about each other and news about me and Jackson were plastered everywhere on the internet. He didn’t even have to dig deep.“So what? I’m not supposed to talk to him because he’s your rival? Even you have to talk to him.” I pointed out.I didn’t like being caught in between petty beef. Maybe this one wasn’t so petty but I didn’t want to be in the middle anyway. The more Jackson reacted whenever Chris came close to me, the more Chris would do it just to mess with Jack.“I don’t want you

70. Flights

JACKSON~•~I was on cloud nine and it had nothing to do with being listed as the fifth richest man in their thirties.No, I was happy because of Kimberly.She had more or less opened up to me.The fact that she allowed me to kiss her meant I had broken down her walls, whether she’d admit it or not. I was one step closer to being with her again.She might dismiss it with the excuse that it was part of our act but I knew better than that. Kimberly wouldn’t let me kiss her in public just to prove a point. She’d allow me to hold her hand or her waist. The most I could do was a peck on the cheek. Any other than that, she might just crash out, so for her to let me kiss her when everyone was watching meant more to me than she imagined.After I was done with my speech, I went back to my table and the organizer called out a band to perform while the silent auction began.There was a silly smile on my face as I strode back to my table. I pulled out my chair and sat next to Kimberly, still smil
