FORTY SEVEN
MINUTES BEFORE ‘THE KISS’
Daniel stormed out of the elevator and his eyes narrowed into murderous slits as he scanned the crowd for Wayne and Roxanne. How dare Wayne pull the rug from under his legs like this? And to think he had lost his sleep because of Wayne. He had trusted his cousin!
But Wayne was nowhere to be seen, instead, Daniel was swarmed by the suffocating press, all trying to get a piece of him.
“Mr Winter! Mr Winters! How do you feel collaborating with your ex-wife?”
Flash! Snap! Flash!
His mouth twisted into a scowl.
“Mr Winters! Look here!”
Snap! Flash! Snap!
“Mr Winters! Are you divorcing your new wife for Roxanne Grey?”
Standing in the middle of the crowd was Roxanne in a barely there dress with her arms held high up like a prizefighter. Roxanne was gorgeously gross and a year ago, Daniel had courted her based on the excuse that she had an ‘interesti

Jane sat alone in Wayne’s office. It was big and airy, just slightly smaller than Daniel’s but whereas the walls of Daniel’s office were filled with countless plaques and awards, Wayne’s office walls were adorned with simple but breathtaking photos of his travels throughout the world. There was one of Wayne in the middle of a forest filled with lush green bamboo trees that seemingly shot all the way up to the great blue sky, another had a view of a golden sunset as waves crashed onto a lighthouse by the sea and yet another of the great Sphinx. This one had Wayne all bundled in a shawl squinting his eyes and grinning happily into the camera. Looking at the photos, Jane realized how little she knew about Wayne Winters. Judging by his appearance, she had thought of him as more of an indoors man but apparently, she was wrong.Never judge a book by its cover, she scolded herself inwardly. Yes, just as how you misjudged Wayne, you must have also

Marie stood outside the Winters Architecture massive twenty storey office building. She was sandwiched among a crowd of spectators wondering what the commotion was all about. In retrospect, Marie had come to see Jane, well, ask her for money was more like it. She had unfortunately used up most of her one million funds by then and was hoping to ask for more. After all, her stepdaughter was now the darling wife of Daniel Winters. THE Daniel Winters of Winters Architecture. She pressed her hands to her cheeks to suppress a giggle. This was all too good to be true.A young girl in a neon yellow tank top accidentally stepped on her high heels and Marie let out a blood piercing howl.“Hey! Watch it! You just stepped on my Jimmy Choos!” she shrieked, looking down at her expensive red pumps in horror. Her fist in the air, she shouted, “Do you know who I am?”The young girl took one look at her and popped chewing gum into her mouth. “Look gr

Daniel and Jane stood in the elevator, hand in hand with silence hanging in the air. But the touch of her hand spoke volumes, it represented the unspoken trust that Jane had in him and that alone was more than enough for Daniel.He gave her hand a light squeeze and she tore her eyes away from the elevator door to look at him. Daniel returned her gaze. A few strands of her hazel locks hung over her right cheek, near her eye and instinctively Daniel reached out and brushed it away and she smiled at him. But the smile that graced her face faded the moment they reached the lobby and the elevator door slid open.“JANE!”Daniel cringed at the high pitched scream of Jane’s stepmother. The pompous woman bulldozed her way through the queue of people in front of the elevator and jumped into the rectangular metal box. The elevator groaned under her weight and for a moment, Daniel had a crazed vision of the pulley system and cables failing and the elevator

Jane was indeed walking on eggshells. She couldn’t bring herself to talk to Daniel about ‘them’. Wait, was there even a ‘them’? Jane wasn’t sure anymore, especially not after listening to Wayne’s parting words. And to think people said women were complicated. She couldn’t wrap her mind around Daniel Winters at all. One moment he was all over her body and telling her he loved her and the next moment he was kissing his ex wife. And not to mention the surprise hug in the lift. What was that for? To feel her boobs and ass? She wrinkled her nose and took a deep breath before forcing the door to the master bedroom open. And sure enough the man’s mood had shifted yet again. That guy had more mood swings than a women with menses. Daniel Winters stood over the bed naked waist up with hands yanking the roots of his hair. The muscles on his body rippled as he tore through the bed, flinging jewels and diamonds aside all the while flooding the room with feral blasphemy. “

Daniel Winters was busy for most of that morning, rushing from one meeting to another and because of that, Jane was very much left to her own devices. She had completed her tasks for that morning, from filing the papers to helping with the photocopying to running errands and buying coffee for the interior design team and finally to feeding little Timmy.And now, she was quite free. But her mind was not. On the contrary, her brain was working on overdrive. How on earth was she going to fork out one million in two days? If she failed, Daniel would stand to lose everything he worked so hard for, and she could not bear to see it happen. Jane knew how hard he worked to keep his mother’s inheritance intact. For him to lose it would be akin to losing his life itself.One million….one million….one million.She couldn’t just waltz to a bank and demand a loan. What could she offer as collateral? Timmy’s pacifier? They’d throw

The doorbell rang and Jane hurried over to the private elevator of the penthouse juggling little Timmy and a baby bottle in one hand and a diaper in the other. A quick check through the security camera told her that Wayne had arrived and she let him in. “Wayne, you’re early!” She dragged her eyes up and down his attire, feeling her jaw drop a little. “And….you’re wearing a tuxedo…” Her words trailed off as she took in the sight of him. Wayne stood in front of her looking every inch of a prince in a black and white tux, carrying a bouquet of lilies in one hand and a mini luggage bag in the other. She looked down at her simple garb of plain white tee with Timmy’s spit and ripped jeans coated with milk stains before her head fell back in laughter. Little Timmy found his mother’s laughter infectious and joined her with gurgles of his own. “I thought we were going to Mike’s diner,” she flashed a sheepish smile. “I made reservations at The Hilton.”

“Oh wow, I didn’t think the rum was THAT strong!” Jane threw her head back and forced a laugh before taking yet another mouthful of ice cream. A part of her wished for Wayne to join her in the laughter as well but he remained as he was with an expression void of all humour. He kept looking at Jane silently and all too soon, she began to waver under his gaze.Oh shit…this is not turning out the way I expected it to….her subconsciousness whispered as she nervously took another spoonful of ice cream from the clear glass bowl.Think Jane…say something. Talk about the weather. Talk about Trump and Biden. Talk about Timmy’s poop. Anything! But the words got stuck in her throat.“I mean it, Jane. I fell for you a long time ago. I should have reached out to you first. Had I known what you went through, I would have looked for you and taken care of you. If only Daniel had not been one step ahead of me..

The grand penthouse was empty; void of Jane’s smiles and Timmy’s laughter. In fact, the place felt alien without their presence, it was like the harsh plains of the desert sands where nothing save for stark emptiness thrived. Daniel kicked off his leather shoes as soon as he stepped out of the elevator and stormed to Timmy’s room, not entirely sure what he was looking for. Something to prove Jane’s innocence perhaps? All around him the lights of the penthouse automatically turned on. Roxanne hummed as she followed a frantic Daniel into the baby’s room, nodding her head in approval when she saw the makeover. “Hmm…like what you’ve done with the place. Remember we used to do it against the wall? I’d be taking your cock into my mouth and –” “Shut up.” Daniel flipped off Timmy’s baby blue blanket, searched under the cot and rummaged through a wardrobe full of rompers and baby suits but found nothing. Nada. He had called the auction manager earlier on the drive bac
