Jocelyn,
Been so long I said your name, guess this might be last you'd hear me call you by your name.
So many years have passed and sometimes I lie here, in bed and regret the decisions I made in the past.
But I'll always hope you realise it was all for the best, I did what I did to keep you and your sister alive and out of the clutches of the devil, Ferdinand.
The man is a devil that shouldn't have found his way into our lives, but he did and till date, we are all still suffering in the wake of all his evil deeds.
Tommy, your father, bless his soul, was a good man, the best ever.
I met them both while in college and yeah, Ferdinand asked to court me first, but my heart had been longing for another and I'd turned him down.
Turns out that was a sin he couldn't forgive.
If JoJo had thought her life was a mess, the truth she'd just discovered crashed if past the grounds, it shattered every truth she's ever known and believed. Uncle Fer....... Fucking Ferdinand! That monster. He'd been the architect of a her pain and problem but he'd always crawled back to blow on them and make it seem like he'd cared. And to find out that he'd been her sperm donor, it killed her to believe it. Jordan was as struck as she was from what they'd read. She ached for her mother too, who'd had to live with all these for years, having no one to be by her side while she played sick and lost in a bid to protect her girls. It must have been hard, being in bed all year round, reliving the nightmares of both events and hating herself for being so weak. She swore she'd be stronger, for herself and Riley and they'd bring the man to Justice, for her mom. But I like her mom, she had Jordan by her side in these t
Hailey stood in front of the whole family, her seven year old palms sweaty. She'd spent the whole night reciting this all over again, so it shouldn't be a big deal, yeah? "It's okay, baby, it's just us." Jojo whispered from her seat, her very pregnant belly making her movement strenuous. Yeah, just them. Well, here goes nothing. "Uhhmm, this is my family tree....." She started a little shyly, pointing to the treelike structure balanced on the table next to her, stuck full of pictures. Her voice was so small, but it carried around the room. "I made it myself, well, mummy helped.....a lot. And I'm taking it to school for show and tell on Monday." She could see her daddy giving her an encouraging thumbs up and it put the light into her eyes and confidence in her voice. "From the top, this is Granny Meghan and Grandpa Tommy who I didn't get to meet and they gave birth to my mommy and Riley. Too bad they died b
Jojo stood in front of the building complex that was McGrath real estate housing and construction', feeling more nervous than she had the first time she was here.Somehow she had felt more calm during that interview than she did now on her first day of the job she just landed.Well she did land it with the help of her father's friend who had promised to put a word in for her a few places.This happened to be it.And though her resumée wasn't all that enticing, she had been called for the interview here at the beginning of last week and by Wednesday, her employment later was sitting in her mail in a pristine white envelope.She fixed her clothe one last time before stepping into the building through it's large revolving door.As expected, and as she saw the last time she was here, the floor was busy as everyone went about the business.
It was Jojo's ringing phone that disrupted the silence in which they worked.She cringed and speedily put it off. You'd think that working in this mandatory silence for six straight months would teach her to always put her ever ringing phone on silent mode.She stealthily raised her eyes to sneak a glance at scary boss man but those hypnotic deep green orbs were already trained on her.Their gazes locked and she felt that zing of desire run down her spine to her most feminine part.Sometimes she wonders if he feels it too.She shifted uncomfortably, moving her eyes away from his, her face burning red.She tried to focus on the monitor of her system as she mutteted a quick, "I'm sorry sir."If she'd thought that time was all it was going to take to cure her of her insane attraction to her incredibly hot boss, Jordan McGrath, then she was in for a surprise.
Her mom lay frail on the bed, her opened eyes glazed and unfocused, looking worse than she's seen her yet."Mom, I'm here now." She watched for the barely there twitch of her fingers that usually indicated she was heard but it wasn't there.She took the too thin hand in both of hers."What happened, Maria?" She asked the middle aged nurse who took care of Meghan during her office hours."I found like this on the floor, her skin all pale and eyes glazed up like that."Jojo pinched the bridge of her nose, hard.This wasn't as bad as any of the mental images her mind had conjured up after she'd read that text. Everything was going to be okay, she tried convincing herself."One thing I'm sure of is that she's getting worse. And you have a lot on your hands. Don't you think it's time you paid what I've been suggesting a thought?""I
His kiss was intoxicating, combined with feel of his sexy, powerful body, he had her wanting more, craving more than was possible.His soft but firm lips glided against hers almost roughly, his tongue thrusting into the recess of her mouth without waiting for permission.He wrapped her in a cloud of dangerous desire, brought her forbidden pleasure.But the image of his eyes so like the one she longed to stare into again brought a pang of guilt with it.She broke the kiss, missing the warmth that came with his fiery kiss and his arousing tongue almost immediately.His hand was like a steel band around her, still pressing her to him as he raised his head to question her action with his eyes.
Jojo hated the smell of hospitals more than she hated anything else.That nauseating pungent reek of bleaking hope and long empty hours.She sat uncomfortably on one of the old brown benches with peeling paint in the plain waiting room, waiting for the gray haired Doctor Thomas that practiced and consulted here to call for them.The room was dusted with a few other patients waiting to be called too along side their supportive family or friends.At least they attempted conversations. They say words and even if they hold no much solid meaning to their audience it felt good to her ears.She wished Meghan would try that sometimes. It would feel good to hear her mother's voice again.It's been so long now she wondered if it would sound the same or foreign if she gets to hear it again.Maybe if she'd tried talking to someone about what happened that night,
Fayre didn't notice the other woman in the room upon her entry.All her attention had been honed on the look she'd imagined would be splashed across Jordan's face when he saw her.It's been months since she last saw him and though they'd broken up on very rough terms this last time, she was sure he wouldn't be able to resist her once he saw her again and gets a taste of what he's been missing.After all, she wore this figure hugging, revealing dress whose red color screamed 'fuck me' for a purpose.No man have been able to resist her and her smoking hot body before, he wouldn't be any different, not after she's made special effort to tempt him back.They've had break ups before, ones almost as messy as the current one, but he always took her back anyways. She shouldn't feel any worry about this time around.She stood glaring at the vacant space staring back at her, her disappoin
