Jane rubbed Telle's body with her palms and sighed heavily. This was the most boring situation of her life, she wasn't allowed to step a foot out of the mansion without Allen's permission and the only excuse she could give for going out was now invalid. No work...wait work? Pfft, why would she work when her husband was a billionaire judging from his appearance and everything? She had no friends here in the City, she was the lonely type ever since her parents died, she had been forsaken and no one cared if she was alive or not. The only person who had been her friend was...Kyle drove into the mansion and got out of his car putting on a blue top and white shorts. Was it All Blue's day? Jane wondered but quickened her footsteps to meet with him. Kyle looked at the woman, he could only get to know that she wanted to talk to him by the gestures of her hands. She was waving at him and also running so he could only wait for her to reach him whichshe did."Hi, good morning. "Jane greeted am
As Allen climbed down the stairs gently, Jane walked in from the entrance still holding Kyle's phone. They both stopped to look at each other for a second and Jane exhaled, she went to meet him with her eyes down. She stretched her hand forward to give him the phone. Allen only stared at it."It isn't mine." He spoke."It's Kyle's and I can't find him anywhere. "Jane spoke, she grabbed his hand and placed the phone on his palms, not minding his scorching gaze. She turned to leave."Get dressed." He ordered. The one who turned toleave turned to look at him again with a confusedexpression."Huh?""You heard me clearly, get dressed and meet meoutside in less than five minutes or your punishment gets increased. "Allen threatened with s stern voice before walking away.Jane raised her palm and turned it into a fist as if to punch Allen but she could only groan in frustration before going to her room. She slammed the door angrily. This made no sense, totally craziness out of the highest
Allen drove into one of the largest and most expensive supermarkets in the city. He got out of the car alongside Jane whose expression now looked terrible but Allen pretended not to notice it. Of course, he did notice it. Her eyes were watery and she kept sniffing, this was new to him in another aspect. A woman sobbing beside him because of him???It wasn't his fault, he just didn't know what came over him earlier but he couldn't stop himself from getting closer. It was like he was intoxicated by her but he was able to comport himself in not a good way. He looked at her face which was slightly red and sighed. 'Granny, you're the reason for this. 'He walked in with her. Jane looked around the boutique that had different wares and she was sure that it was very...very expensive but something was off. The whole boutique was silent... no customer was going in or out. How was that possible? Still, in her thoughts, a woman who seemed to be in her late fifties, dressed in a royal blue gown
"Hel... "Bert was shut up by the slamming of the door. Helooked confused as he stared at Jane's room. He was only trying to be friendly, was that wrong? He shrugged his shoulders and went downstairs where he found Kyle and Xander both busy with paper files. They had a cool atmosphere around them but the serious type. "Yoo-hoo. "Bert clapped his palms. While Xanderraised his head from what he was doing, Kyle didn't even care. "You do know that there is a huge load of work going on right now?" Kyle asked in a stern voice. "If you two are here, then who is at the company?" Bert asked as he sat behind them. "Who else is gonna be there if not Allen? " Xander gave him a duh ' look and Bert nodded his head in acknowledgment. "Did you..." "Gosh, f*ck off!" Kyle grabbed the little he could and walked away furiously. "What's up with him?"Xander relaxed on the chair and folded his arms as he stared at Bert who seemed eager to say something. "Spit it. " He ordered. "What do you think
"Young Madam, please come out. Your dinner was served thirty minutes ago and it's getting cold already. " Steward Ben pleaded at the door. He had been standing in front of it for the last ten minutes but the woman refused to even say a word and he was getting worried. "You may leave because I am not hungry. " She replied. Steward Ben was happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that she finally spoke which meant she was not dead or that she had injured herself while the opposite was that she wasn't willing to eat. "No...no, madam. Please, don't do this if not I am going to lose my job and my poor head." "My answer remains the same and if you bother me one more time, I won't hesitate to behave rudely towards you, Mr. Ben." With this reply, Steward Ben slowly turned around and left.Jane rolled on her bed. She was finding it difficult to sleep. She turned around to look at the wall clock, it was only 7:30 pm. What type of life was this? Hiding from Allen? Well, that wasn't bad be
"I don't really know what the old woman wants this time around, always holding meaningless meetings. " Risa, the only wife of Ezekiel Ryan spoke. She was a 45-year-old woman with so much ego being the only daughter-in-law of the family. She was given much prestige that she never once failed to use in public. Risa was into modeling and was an ambassador for many brands. With her behavior and attitude, one would thinkshe was the queen of the empire. She twirled around in her black flawless gown. "I hope you know that the woman you are talking about is my mother. " Ezekiel countered as he puts on his grey pants. Risa rolled her eyes at his statement as she applied the gloss to her lips and rubbed them against each other to make it perfect. "What do you think she is going to say this timearound? " Risa asked her husband who had finished dressing and was waiting for her. "Maybe something about the estate she gave to Allen instead of our son. " Ezekiel gritted his teeth. Just the tho
"What the hell is granny saying?' Everyone except the two thought as they watched the whole show. "Come in everyone and let's eat. " Old Madam Ryan spoke cheerfully pulling Jane along and making her sit with her. "Mother, what is going on? Who is this stranger you called... daughter-in-law? Whose daughter-in-law is she?" Ezekiel asked as he pulled out his chair and settled down. Jane's ears perked up at what he said and tried tospeak. "I am..." "My husband was referring to his mother so you aren't allowed to talk. "Risa blasted her. "Your husband was referring to his mother so you aren't allowed to interfere in their discussion because you have no right to. "Allen countered back as he wiped his cutlery gently, not sparing a glance at her. Risa shut up and suppressed her urge to give him a befitting reply.Old Madam Ryan looked at her family who were giving each other a deadly glare and she sighed. She only wanted to unite them again but no matter what happened, Allen wasn't rea
Jane woke up the next morning into a world of boredom. She rubbed her eyes and stood up from her bed after yawning a little bit. She walked toward the bathroom and brushed her teeth before leaving her brother's room. "Hey." She greeted as she entered and closed the door. Bruno opened his eyes and turned to look at her. "How are you?" She asked and Bruno only nodded but it could be seen that he was recovering well and this gladdened Jane's heart. "It seems Doctor Drake is treating you well and within a month, I am sure that you will be able to walk and talk as well. Let me get your breakfast." Jane said but the empty plate beside Bruno revealed that he had eaten and she smiled. Even though she felt like she wasn't treated well by Allen, her brother experienced good treatment which she appreciated. She kissed his forehead before leaving his room.She walked downstairs towards the dining room where Steward Ben was standing, staring at the meal. He raised his head when he heard the sou
