An hour or two later, Amber and I are done getting ready. We walk out of the house to meet Jason and Evan. We are not going together since we won’t be coming back together. I say hi to Evan before he and Amber get into his car. As Jason and I walk to his car, he compliments me on how beautiful I look, as always.
We arrive at Mr. Crawford’s place before Amber and Evan. We ring the bell and wait for someone to open the door. After a few seconds, Kassie comes and opens the door for us. She tells us Mr. Crawford is waiting for us in the living room. We thank her and walk to the living room to join him.
“Hello, grandfather,” Jason says, walking into the living room
“Hi, Mr. Crawford,” I say,
“How are you both doing today?” Mr. Crawford asks
“We are doing great.”
“That’s wonderful to hear, and Eleanor, I think it’s high time you start calling me grandfather or Clinton.&r
The next time I open my eyes, it's morning. Jason drained all the energy out of my body. I can't believe I slept through the night. I look at my body and see that I am still naked. Of course, I am still naked. I lay down to rest a little, but I slept till morning. I look towards my left and find Jason sound asleep. He looks so peaceful while sleeping. I love the way his eyelashes fan his face. I move closer to him and trace my fingers on his full eyebrows. I try my best not to wake him up as I trace my fingers on his face, but my plan fails when his eyes open. His beautiful caramel eyes stare at me as the tip of my finger hangs on his nose."Morning, sweetheart," He says in that sexy morning voice of his. He puts his hands around my bare waist and pulls me closer to him. A blush appears on my cheeks as my naked body gets flushed against his. His upper body is nude, so our skin is touching."Good morning""You smell so good," He says, burying his nose in the nape
I help Jason find some files he needs for his conference meeting. The meeting was about to start, and he realized he could not find the documents for it. He didn't want to keep the person at the other end waiting, so he asked me to come and look for the paper while he started the meeting.After I am done helping him, I walk out of his office to find Vivienne. I knock on her office door but get no response. I turn the doorknob, and the door doesn't open. It's locked. Did she leave work already? I switch on my phone to send her a text asking her where she is but stop once a message from her arrives."Eleanor, in case you come back and don't find me. I stepped out for an emergency. I will be back soon," Her text reads."Ok, no problem," I replyI walk away from her door and walk back to my desk to continue working.Halfway through work, I feel like drinking something. I pick up my purse and take the elevator down. I don
I look at Tracy's stomach, praying to God that the bump on it is because she is fat, but I know that's not true. A woman like Tracy would never allow herself to get fat. I don't even know what I am going to do. Should I call Jason and let him know his ex-girlfriend is pregnant. That's if Tracy was his ex-girlfriend. I think she was just one of his usual flings. That's not even important right now. Do I call Jason or wait for him to come back before I tell him. If I wait for him to come back, Tracy might even tell him herself. My train of thought is interrupted when Tracy speaks to me."Eleanor," She says, snapping her fingers in my face"Sorry, did you say something?""I said, you will have to call Jason and let him know. He blocked my number, so I can't call him.""Sure, no problem, I will tell him.""Thank you, I will be expecting Jason's call any day now. Goodbye," She says, walking to the elevator."Bye," I say before she disappear
A week has passed since Tracy came to the office to tell me she is pregnant with my boyfriend's baby. I am on my way to pick up Jason from the airport. Andrew is driving while I sit at the back. Jason's plane should be landing in a few minutes. I am happy he is back. I missed him terribly. I am worried about what will happen when he runs a DNA test on the baby in Tracy's womb. I am praying that the baby in Tracy's belly does not belong to him. I step out of the car and stand at the end of the stairway of Jason's private plane. As he descends the stairway, the smile on his face is the same one I got the moment my eyes saw him. He walks towards me and pulls me into a hug. He spins me around and showers my face with kisses. "Jason, stop spinning me," I say, giggling, feeling a little light-headed from the spinning. He drops me back on the ground and captures my lips in a passionate kiss. I kiss him back with the same intensity as he is kissing me. I have missed kissing
"Oh, Eleanor, you are back? This is my girlfriend Vivienne, the one I told you about. I hope you don't mind her joining us for dinner.""What did you just call her?""My girlfriend""You must be joking," I say, finding his words too unbelievable to accept. There is no way Vivienne is dating Uncle Jack. My precious Uncle, dating Vivienne, I forbid it. Even though her behavior towards me at the office has changed. I still know the type of woman she is, and I would never allow Uncle Jack to be with someone like her."Why would I be joking?""Because she is the same woman I work with.""That's not possible; my Vivienne is nothing like that woman you work with.""Your Vivienne, somebody, please wake me up. I think I am having the worst nightmare of my life. Jason got someone pregnant, and now this. Are you kidding me, God" I say, feeling frustrated with everything happening today."Jason got someone pregnant," Vivienne says, surpris
I hold Tracy's hand as the ambulance drives us to the hospital. I told them I was her sister so they could let me ride with them. I have not released her hand since they put her in the ambulance. I have been holding it while saying prayers for her survival.We arrive at the hospital as quickly as possible. I walk to the waiting room as they wheel her in for surgery. I find the closest bathroom and wash my hands. My clothes are soaked in her blood. I will change later; right now, I need to call Jason. I pull out my phone from my purse and try to dial Jason's number. I don't even know how I am going to break this news to him. This is just too sad to tell him. I can still remember what he said about the baby last night. Oh my God, Jason is going to be crushed if something happens to the baby. I wipe away my tears and dial his number."Hi sweetheart, I was just about to call you. I will be running a little late to work today. Move my morning appointments; I won't be able t
Jason and I walk inside the room. Once my eyes set on Tracy, my heart aches for her. I don’t even care that she lied to my boyfriend about being pregnant. Her whole body is covered in bandages. I see Jason moving forward to wake her up, but I grab his hand to stop him. I shake my head, telling him no. Tracy might have done a horrible thing by deceiving him, but I don’t think right now is the best time to confront her. I don’t even want to imagine Jason’s wrath upon her when he starts questioning her. I pull him and walk back outside.“Why did you stop me from waking her up?” Jason asks once we are outside Tracy’s room“She barely survived the accident. I don’t think we should ask her until she is doing fine.”“Why?”“Her physical health is not great right now, and I know how you can be when you are angry. You might not lay a finger on her, but you can input enough fear to make h
“Oh my God, why aren’t you dressed yet?” Jason asks as he walks into the kitchen. He just came out of his study.“Asks the man who just stepped out of his study,” I say, cleaning my hands on the kitchen napkin. I am making dinner. Jason invited his grandmother over for dinner at his place. Tracy is going to be serving us. He is using this dinner to find out if his grandmother is genuinely the one behind it.“It does not take time for men to get ready.”“I am almost done here. Once I am through, I will get ready.”“This is why I didn’t want you to cook tonight. I could have just asked Jessica to work today,” Jason says, walking over to me by the stove.“Today is her grandson’s birthday. There is no need to make her miss such a special occasion when I know how to cook.”“I should have hired a private chef for tonight,” Jason says, wrapping his
