(Lily’s Pov)I was lying down in the sitting resting since I had nowhere to go to. My day was boring, Jane who used to keep me company left since morning and I had no one else to talk to. She seems to have become busier lately. It was past noon and she wasn’t home yet. There was nothing fun I could do alone in the house except reading.I brought out the books my father bought for me when I was at the verge of going to the nun school. Sometimes I used to wonder what life as a nun would look like, they wouldn’t be any Jack in my life to cause me pains and I wouldn’t have to constantly be reminded that I was a human collateral.I was all alone, left in my thought when my phone began to buzzle, I wasn’t expecting anyone’s call, I had a very small cycle and that includes, Jane and Jack.I stood up to get my phone which was buzzling on top of the center table in the sitting room when I got shocked for the second time.“noo! I screamed as my phone almost fell from my hand.“I already forgave
(Lily's Pov)"You're not saying anything, Mom," I said to my mother after Austin left. My mom's silence started getting me worried, I wasn't a mind reader so I could read what she had in mind. Since she wasn't saying anything I decided to ask.My mom didn't respond to me, she kept mute and ignored me like I had not asked her any questions."Dad, maybe you should ask Mom to talk because her silence over Austin isn't helping matters at all" I complained to my Dad."Perhaps you should give your mother some time""Time for what?" I interrupted."Lily my child, I don't know how to tell you this but there's something odd about that young man that I Don't seem to, " my mom said."What about him? He's a good man" I defended."No doubt he is but something seems to be off about him, I don't think he's good for you" my mom's words threw me off balance immediately. I didn't understand why she sounded like that. Jack was a good guy and I believed so much in him."Mom I love him" Tears rolled down
(Lily's Pov)"Hello beautiful wife, we're back" Jane exclaimed after knocking on my door. I didn't want her to notice that I'd been crying, I held myself together and splashed water on my face before opening the door for her."I heard you say we, who else is with you?" I asked"I stopped by at the office to say hi to Jack but he decided to join me at home, what's with the water all over your face and why are your eyes swollen like someone who's been mourning?" Jane asked."Are my eyes swollen?" I inquired."If they were not then I wouldn't have asked," Jane said."That's probably because I've slept too much today and the water? Yeah! I was about bathing just before you knocked" I lied."Then you should hurry up, we're having dinner together," She said and left for her room.I broke down immediately after she left, I should've ended it all and joined my family, it hurts to be here all alone.After crying for a while in the washroom, I dipped myself in a bathtub and washed up. I looked
(Jane’s Pov)I was up in my room going through people’s comments about our company on social media and I was so very happy that most people talked ill of Jack and how wicked he had been to people who did business with him, only a few people applauded him. Those who talked ill of him were his weakness that I was going to use against him when the time for me to take over the Walkers company comes.I kept on scrolling down the daily happenings page when my phone began buzzing and it was a new number, a number I’d never seen before. It was past 8 pm already, I wondered who it could be”“Hello,” I said as I picked up the phone“I’m sorry ma” this deep but familiar voice came begging from the other side of the phone.“And who are you?” I asked just to be sure of who it belonged to“It is me, Austin, something happened and I couldn’t reach out to you earlier today as we agreed on. I’m sorry ma” he explained but his explanation had no effect, he already wasted my day and he can’t change anyth
(Jane’s Pov)I woke up early in the morning and had the name Santos on my lips because I literally couldn’t stop myself from thinking about him. I reached for my phone, switched it on, and sent Karen a text to be sure she would be able to make it for our meeting, it appeared she was thinking about our meeting as well as she replied immediately after my text went through.Meeting Karen was going to take much of my time, so I got up from my bed knowing that I had a very long day ahead of me. Nobody needed to know where I was going especially Jack, Lily had no business with wherever I chose to go so her opinion didn’t matter at all or she can do is believe whatever I tell her.I went to the washroom, emptied my bowel, and washed up myself. I sat in front of my mirror and applied a little makeup to brighten up my face, I had to makeup first to make everything snappy. My wardrobe was recently changed so I didn’t have a problem choosing what to wear, I just had to choose between beautiful d
(Jane’s Pov) “what took you so long?” Karen came running towards me trying to hug me as I came out from my car. “it was terrible, I had to beat the traffic, thank goodness it wasn’t as heavy as I expected” I replied spreading my arms wide to hug her. “you look so breath taking, I can see Jack is doing a great job taking care of his only sister” she said in a manner that didn’t denote whether she was jealous or admiring me. “thank you Karen. You’re looking as beautiful as always but you’re looking a bit different, is it something I should be happy about?” I jokingly asked, pointing at her tummy Her mood dropped immediately and she became sad, that was when I knew all wasn’t well. “it’s a long story Jane, but I’m getting better now, the doctor said everything would be gone before I know it” she explained “I’m sorry” I apologized “It’s nothing, come on, let’s go inside we really have a lot to talk about and we can’t do that standing here” she said and led the way to her office and
(Jane’s Pov)I didn't know how I was going to ask her about her stomach without making it look like I was insulting her. There was no way I was going to resist the urge of asking her so I thought of the most polite way I knew."If you do not mind telling me, I would love to know what happened to you, you've changed and you look quite different from the normal you, what happened Karen?" I asked.She lowered her head and sobbed quietly, I didn't know what to do so I just sat down and watched her."It's a long story and it's not something I love to remember because each time I do, it breaks me. She said, trying to withhold herself from crying."I'm sorry about that but you can always tell me anything, we're still friends, aren't we?"There was no way I would be taking 'no' for an answer from her, I was going to persuade her until she tells me how she got a stomach that's that big."Of course yes, we are still friends," she replied."Remember we used to tell each other our secrets when yo
(Lily’s Pov)My relationship with Jack started to get better, our sexual life less aggressive as it used to be. He no longer forces me when he wants to have sex with me unlike before, since I became the one who seduces him.Our sexual life became a lot better that way because it takes me a whole lot to convince myself not to see him as a rapist after each sex he has with me. Basically all the sex's we've had before were all done against my wish until I decided that I wanted to be the one seducing him.Seducing Jack was the new way I found that made me feel a lot better about having sex with him, with each move I make, I convince myself that that was what I wanted and that he wasn't forcing me into it. That way, it was much better having sex with him.After we had dinner and went upstairs angrily, I had followed him to calm him down but one thing led to another and all I could remember was that I we made love again. He refused and insisted that I sleep over in his room with him when I
