Well, my sister was the happiest when she married James. Things were great until Cynthia and the evil mother-in-law interfered in their relationships. So many times, I went to see her, but she would smile and say everything was great. As long as James was treating her right, nothing else mattered.My dad had been talking about allowing her to take over the family business, but it was too late before they could talk about it. The day my sister went into labor, I had a meeting arranged by dad with some of his old friends. He was slowly introducing me to the family business. I liked it a lot and wanted to be close to my family.Though I had my own thing going on, I had to help out at home.I rushed as soon as possible and met a weird and disturbing scene at the hospital. My sister was begging for her kid, and some insane woman was holding a kid, pointing a gun. It was terrible. My heart skipped with the heartfelt cries of my sister. She looked like she could die. It pained me to see he
"She will eventually move on," I said and excused myselfI went to James's room and found the woman Cynthia Malloy with him. She was threatening him with the lives of my sister and the Kid. I was angry, but I tried to curb it. It was weird what I was feeling at that time. I wanted to go in and give him a few blows on his face, but then again, I refrained from doing soI knew he was giving in to the pressure because he didn't remember anything and didn't want to put them in danger. I didn't tell anyone what was happening.I went to arrange a few things outside and waited for them to do everything else. It was also because I wanted to have time to be alone. Think and strategize. I tried to get the Malloy family out of the picture. Also, I wanted to protect Jane no matter the cost.I thought of letting her and dad know everything after we got home. Jane had insisted on going home with the Kid and us after signing the divorce papers. I can say it was also dad who insisted on it. There was
"Oh, no, no-no." I saw the car down there. The window screen was thrown way back on the other side. The side door of the back of the car was thrown on a different side. A team was carrying two bodies wrapped in a black body bag. I threw the shawl down and ran towards the body"Sir. You ant be here," one of the people carrying the body said to be in a stern voice"I have to see them. They are my family," I said in an inaudible tone. They looked at each other and allowed me. I opened one of the bags with my shaking hands. My legs almost gave wayI opened it slowly, but the face I saw was a man's. It was not dad nor Jane. That made me open the next bag even faster. But the body was not of them. Looking closer, I could see the lady. It was Ruth. The new bodyguard assigned to Jane"Where are they?" I asked hysterically"Who?""My dad. They were together." I said, looking around. I could see blood all over the ground and the car. What disturbed me the most was when something hit me. I rushe

It was like someone was pulling the strings in the background.The Vehicle came to the compound ready to demolish the house in the next few days. Funny thing, Jerry was on the lead."Jerry Watson?"

James asked Jerry in confusion"Well, your dad sold the land a few years back, and the people are here to claim it. It so happened I
Frediano walked into the room and looked at the beautiful woman standing at the window."Are you going back home?" he asked as he walked and stood beside her"It's time." She answered her mind, deep in thoughts. It had been years since her death and her sons. It's time to go and pay him a visit"I miss my dad and brother." She finally signed and admitted"Okay. I'll go with you," He said and left the room before she rejected the offerShe didn't say anything and turned to look at the retreating figure. It had been years, but still, she could not bring herself to love him fully. He had been nothing but sweet and supportive to her.At the closed door, Frediano Martinez stopped and looked back at the closed door. It has been years, but he has not been able to melt her heart. He was almost giving up. He left after a few seconds back to his room. They have been together, walking with her through her healing process. He also needed healing after Bella died. He knew revenge was not the way t
She took the last step and stood before the man. This time, he didn't look so cocky. He looked confused but not scared. He didn't think she could do anything to him. He thought she was putting on an act to scare him."What are you going to do to me?" he asked her in a not so confident voice. She didn't answer, and he began to shake when she played with the sword in her hand, "you. Don't forget who I am. My family will fight you to the death if anything happens to me." He tried to say it, but she didn't hear anything when she stepped on his toes and punched him with her right hand. She held the sword with the same hand and slapped his manhood to the ground.The room was silent. They didn't see that coming."Now. Tell them to come after me. I will be waiting for them." She said, and she threw the sword at the bodyguard. She didn't look surprised at all. The people made way scared to anger her. No one spoke. Even the director was scared stiff on the ground. He didn't move from where he s
"How was your day?" he asked, looking at the screen on the other side of the huge room."It was okay. Just a little exercise on my way home." She said, walking toward him"How has your training been?" he asked, facing her."Great. Just a little bit slow." She didn't get to finish her sentence when Frediano attacked her without warning. She took her stance and defended herself with her left arm. He did not stop and took swift moves attacking her from different angles. She didn't hesitate to throw kicks at him and punches in her bathrobe. He was too swift and defended the attacks as well. They fought for a long time until Jane could not take it anymore and got defeated and pressed onto the wall. Fred had his arm pressed on her neck and the other holding her other hand. They were too close and intimate. Their breathing was still heavy, their chest puffing up and down. He moved closer to her, looking at he beautiful thin lips. He drew closer to her lips and almost touched them. As if comi
The day was well spent in the office with work set aside just reminiscing their lives and their plans for the future. Of course, Jane didn't talk much about her plans. She didn't have one. Life has not been fair to her. She sometimes wishes she had met Frediano sooner and not gone through the worst in her life.A few weeks passed, but someone was always standing waiting for her to work. James always found a way to see her no matter how much she dismissed him. This day was no different. Jane thought maybe if she rebuked him. Further, he would stop disturbing her.She got out of the car and walked to him. He looked handsome as ever. He was not aloof as she had seen years back but looked fragile. It looked like life had not been fair to him. She knew why because she had played a huge part in destroying their life. She felt no remorse for whatever she did. They deserved worseThe bodyguards followed closely behind her, but she dismissed them, walking ahead alone. At that time, a car was p
