It's been one year of misery with Jason as l endured all his mistreatment, hoping that he will change and learn to love me or so l thought, and anytime I tried to talk to him about how badly he treated me, he always reminded me that l was free to leave the marriage anytime l want to.It was morning and the sun was shining, l opened the window and admired nature, our mansion has a beautiful view so l always admire everywhere through the window, l was overwhelmed by the event happening today, Foster's Empire was going to announce Jason as their new CEO.I pulled out the pink dress l wanted to wear for the after-party, they were throwing a party for Jason to welcome him as their new CEO, and this has always been his dream, I was happy because he was happy…l giggled and made my way to the bathroom to take a long shower and get preparedIt was a long evening as people were trooping in and out of Foster's mansion, our Mercedes Maybach Exelero pulled up in front of the mansion which drew pe
"I'll be back in Batavia in two days" l promised my father over the phone, l was about to launch my clothing brand in Batavia, l let out a deep breath not knowing how to feel, it's been five years already and the memory of the bad experience l had in the past was still fresh in my head like it happened yesterday. I was happy with the woman l have grown to become, fierce, elegant, and bold, and l could boldly stand up for myself, l looked beside me as I smiled at my son who was calmly sleeping beside me, he has brought so much joy to my life and l had him when l needed comfort the most and l was a proud mother, though he looks exactly like his father, he was nothing like his father, l raised him to be kind and respectful to people and he was too smart for a four-year-old boy. I caressed his hair gently and kissed his forehead, l didn't want to wake him so l left the bed quietly. I had mixed feelings about going to Batavia, "What if l wasn't over him yet" l waved off that thought and
I heard the pilot announce that we are about to land, l closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, l had a lot of thoughts going through my head but l tried to wave them off and focus on the reason l was here, l waited for my driver at the airport and soon he arrived, l carried Jay while the chauffeur put our bags in the truck of the car, l sat at the back seat with Jay resting on my body and we drove off,l have been away for five years and everything has changed, l looked out from the window as l checked out what the city of Batavia has become, the view was quiet beautiful as a lot of things has changed, the buildings were magnificent and colorful unlike before.Our car pulled up in my father's mansion, Alot of things have changed around here, the buildings were renovated and repainted and everywhere was colorful, the driver rushed to open the door for us and l alighted from the car with mixed feelings, my face was plastered with smile when l sighted my father, Ariana and Ma Grace walking to
Jason Pov"What the hell is wrong with you man, you look like a mess!" my friend Andrew asked the moment I walked into his office, Andrew was Jason's only friend since college and he was a successful doctor who had just badged his master's degree and was doing well for himself, he was also Jason's family doctor and the whole Foster family were fond of him, he was away for his degree during Jason's wedding, he had advised Jason to take it easy with Maya but he paid no attention. Jason had dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep and the stress he has passed through looking for Maya, he had spent five years looking for Maya, a woman who loved him with all her heart but what did he do in return, he inflicted pain on her, treated her like an animal, and the moment he woke up to her letter and the signed divorce paper, his world came crashing, he realized how badly he has treated her in the past, he didn't expect her to move on so easily seeing the way she loved him. "What is it"Ja
Maya was new in the city so she inquired about the best school to enroll her son, it was Jayden's first day in school, Maya woke up very early to get him dressed for school, she was done bathing him and he was looking smart and cute in his new school uniform, she hurried to the kitchen to make his breakfast and get his lunchbox to read, she greeted the cook who she found in the kitchen already making breakfast, she had gotten used to making Jay's food and getting him ready for school that she almost forgot there are a lot of servants in her father's mansion.She found Jayden's lunchbox and backpack already sorted out, she let out a deep sigh of relief and thanked the cook."Jayden showed me where you kept his lunchbox and the rest" the cook let out when she saw the curiosity written all over my face, l smiled at her and left the kitchen, l carried Jay down for breakfast and we waited patiently for the food to be served.The driver was already downstairs waiting for them, Maya walked o
Ariana smiled at Maya as she walked into the restaurant looking lavishly beautiful, she beckoned on her and she headed towards her table, it was a table of two and Arianna had already ordered their favorite drink, Bourbon. Maya sat down quietly and they started their chit-chat, soon their order was served, and Maya smiled inwardly, glad that her best friend still remembers her favorite drink.Ariana brought out the project details and they started discussing the project launch."My father thinks that Michael will be of immense help to my new project, "Maya said keeping a straight face like she was considering her father's idea of involving Michael "That's a nice idea," Ariana pointed out.My discussion was interrupted when someone walked into the restaurant which drew everyone's attention to him, Maya quickly recognized him. Jason!, she shouted inwardly, she wasn't surprised he drew everyone's attention when he walked in, he had that appearance that makes him stand out in the crowd.
Jason walked into the restaurant, stunned at seeing her, he felt the urge to pull her into a hug and kiss her passionately, she had rapture-blue eyes that can draw any man to her, her ebony-black hair plunged over her shoulders flawlessly, her slender eyebrows and her eyelashes were velvety.She has a perfect shape that could drive any man crazy.He gazed at her puffy, heart-shaped lips and he was filled with the desire to kiss her, her crescent-shaped eyebrows inclined slightly as she saw me staring at her, she was helplessly gorgeous. "l was blind not to have seen this beautiful part of her" he said inwardly, he was consumed with anger and hatred when she agreed to marry him regardless of the warnings he gave her that he fail to acknowledge the beautiful woman he had as his wife, he sighed not knowing what next to do, the woman he has been searching for all these years was right before him and he couldn't pick up the courage to approach her.He suppressed the urge to go to their tabl
