Ch. 26

JACKSON'S POV

I sat down quietly in my private jet as it flew to the Philippines. I had to take care of some business, and I could have told Vera but she's still angry with me.

What would she be doing at that moment? I wondered as I looked expectantly at my phone. Should I call her and find out? I also need to tell her that I am going for a business trip to the Philippines and it's gonna take two weeks before I come back.

If she should find out from Monica, I know that woman would do anything to frustrate Vera's life and she's good at cooking up lies as long as she gets what she wants.

I waited for three hours so I could settle in a hotel and think carefully of what to say to her before I picked up the hotel's telephone to call her. Since she's still angry with me, I know it would be hard for her to answer my calls.

And the contract between us ends in two days. I know she won't hesitate to leave and continue living her life, but I hope the money would help her with whatever she hoped
