I booked a flight to go home when I received a call from my trusted aid. My mum and Loli had gone to the west city. I knew they found out about my movements in and out of the city right then and there. I didn’t want any of them to know my whereabouts or about Jane. Things were going really fast.
My dad was in my neck to marry Loli. I didn’t care about their threats anymore.
For God’s sake, I was going to live with the woman, not them. I swore not to marry someone just because someone said so.
I called the cab driver I hired to keep an eye on Jane. He was not really a driver but a secret agent and a bodyguard. He was the best when it came to security.
He informed me about my mother and Loli making their way to JS Events and knew things were not right. And they were
I got there in time to hear the woman I love to say she didn’t care a
I could feel his need. I didn’t refuse his advance and kissed him back. My body just reacted on its own. When I came back to my senses, I pushed him away. I stood my back facing him, wiping my mouth.“No. It’s not right.” I trembled slightly“I am sorry. I don’t know what came over me,” Peter said, standing behind me. I could feel his presence, and boy, my body reacted to him. I didn’t see that coming.“It’s okay,” I said without turning to look at him. I didn’t know what us to have an awkward relationship.“Look, Peter. I don’t want us to ruin the great relationship we have together. I have my personal relationship issues to sort out. I don’t need too many complications added to it.” I sign, turning to face him, “I don’t want this to repeat itself,&
The event was held at one of the largest hotels in the country. The guests were high officials in the government.“How is the preparation coming along?” I asked Peter as soon as we left the airport“Everything is ready, but they insisted that the president of JS Events be there to confirm it.”“What kind of people are these. I thought you had it under control. What do they want?”“I didn’t know who they are before, but they are influential people in city S.”“That unfortunate. I thought I would not return here for a long time.” I said out loud, and Peter curiously looked at me from the side. Of course, I was not going to tell him what had happened in the city beforeI went straight to my booked hotel room and dropped everything in there before going to the event venue. The engagement party would be on the ground floor of the same hotel I booked. Having made lots of money
I felt hurtI felt someone tap me from behind. I quickly opened my eyes, wiping the tears in my eyes. I composed myself before turning to see who was tapping me.I turned and was shocked. I turned again at the car parked at the entrance. There he was—a man I had never seen before. I turned to face the man behind me; my eyes popped open in surprise."Are you hoping to see me getting engaged?" James asked"I don't care. You can marry her today for all I care." I composed myself and said to him. He chuckled for a sec and pulled me into his arms. He hugged me tightly"Honey. I have truly missed you. There is no way I am going to marry someone else. I promised you that." He said, giving me a peck on my forehead. I felt warmth in my heart"Then why did you cheat on me back then?" I asked him in tears
"I want to know if you know something about this?" he asked, and this time, I was stunned."What are you talking about?" I asked, looking at him. I felt hurt. He would think I tried to hurt his father."I didn't mean to accuse you. But I wanted confirmation from you before I took any action. Let me tell you something. I trust you completely. I know you didn't do any of this?" he said, touching my face soothingly, but I still felt disturbed about his question. I felt hurt"Is this the show you promised me?' I asked him"No. I had prepared something huge for them, but they didn't fall for it." He said, sitting down on the couch"What's happening? And why am I the suspect in this case.""I don't know, but it's not a coincidence. Someone is trying to get you out of the way. But they are going the wrong way," he said, getting up.
"Try it." James stepped in front of me and said sternly to the officer"Boy. Get out of the way. I have no problem with you not loving my daughter. But I cannot allow you to humiliate her in front of those people. You will have to pay for your ignorance and not listening to warnings." The minister shouted, not caring about his words"From what you are saying. You are doing this to vent for your daughter?" James asked, and I also looked stunned. Do they want to send me to jail for something I didn't do to vent for her daughter?"I don't care what you think. You are here defending someone that tried to kill your father. Do you even have your family at heart?" he asked scornfully."What I do with my family is none of your business," James answered back. The aura he displayed at that time was too powerful. He looked different. Powerful for anyone to stop.'It w
"What?" James was so shocked that he asked again"Yes. Come in, young man," he said, and I saw Peter coming in. I looked at him in confusion. What was he up to?"Tell them everything.""Sorry, Jane, I didn't tell you this at first, but I wanted to protect you." He started looking at me "Tell me what is going on, Peter," I said"Well. It seems Mrs. Watson heard everything you two talked about in the corridor. She came to me in anger. She had ordered someone to kidnap the lady am staying with, thinking she was my sister. I got a video of her being tortured. They said if I didn't poison Mr. Watson, they would kill her." He said, and my mind went blank for a moment. That was all going behind my back."How did she capture your sister in an hour?" I asked"She had people stationed in the West city to follow everyon
"I am sorry about what my family has done to you." James pulled me into a tight hug as soon as the room door closed."It's okay. I am happy I now know the truth." I said, tears threatening to fall from my eyes."Hey. It's okay. You were angry. And the images were real. There was no way you would've known the truth." he said, wiping the tears trickling down my cheek."From today. I will only listen to your words—no more believing other people."Yes. I will protect you with my life. If I ever wrong you again, please punish me." he said, and I was stunned."Wait here," I said as I went to the couch and took a phone from my purse"What are you doing?" he asked"I want to record your promises to me. I don't want you denied in the future." I said, laughing at his expression."Alright. I will fulfill every promise I made to you," he said, pulling me into his arms."Wait. Repeat the promise.""I James Watson. The future husband of Jane
James POV Everything happened too fast. In the span of days, things went too fast. I had a surprise for Jane. Well, since my family was forcing me to marry. I wanted to marry someone I loved. I had everything ready for the engagement. I wanted to make my choice known to the whole world. I warned Loli over and over to stop with the nonsense. She didn't hear. This was the last resort. I felt terrible humiliating their family in public, but it had to be done. I was at my end. Jane didn't know anything. Though she claimed she didn't want me in her life anymore, I was sure she was the one I wanted. I gave her the third day; I moved into her house. Well, I didn't want to take chances. The men interested in her were way too much. Sometimes I wonder if she ever noticed all the gazes sent to her. I alighted from my car and asked the driver to go with it.
