JACQUELINE 10:00am “You have a beautiful place,” Harper, Damon’s wife said to me as I walked them in and towards my office.“Thank you, I’m glad you like it” I responded with a smile as we got into the elevator.“I appreciate you coming all the way from your city, it’s almost like you were waiting for me to launch,” I said with a small nervous chuckle and they laughed with me.“You’re Jonathan Bennett’s wife, it’s certain that we could trust you,” Damon said, I raised my brows slightly tilting my head to the side with a small nod. Ofcourse, I know I wouldn’t be getting this level of engagement so quickly if it wasn’t for Jonathan. That’s just how the society is, I’m not complaining though. “Thank you,” I whispered as we walked out of the elevator and towards my office. “So we’d like for you to plan our fifth year wedding anniversary,” Damon said as we settled into my office.“We’ve come a very long way, and we want this party to be very befitting, to celebrate every battle we’ve h
JACQUELINE Later that night.“You’re still awake baby?” I whispered softly as I walked into Jessica’s room. She dropped the book she was reading and looked up at me. “I was waiting for you,” she responded.“Aww,” I cooed as I walked up to her bed with my hands spread out and pulled her into a small hug. “How was school today?” I asked and she nodded.“It was good,” she said, I smiled and hugged her again. She was still recovering and I didn’t want her to be in such a large gathering if I wasn’t going be be with her throughout. Also I didn’t want to expose her, Atleast not yet.“Where is uncle Jo?!” She asked me.“He’s downstairs. He’ll be up soon. Don’t worry I’ll make sure he says goodnight to you,” “Is Uncle Jo your boyfriend now?!” She asked. I was taken aback by her question, I blinked rapidly as I adjusted my sitting position on her bed.“Ashley let me watch your party on TV,” she said and I raised my brows and nodded slowly. Oh.“Well, Uncle Jo and I are dating,” I respondin
JACQUELINE Monday Evening Day of the First Opening.“Lastly and most importantly, I’ll like to say a very big thank you to my husband, my business partner and my helper. Jonathan Bennett” I said locking gaze with Jonathan. His lips stretched into a small smile clearly taken aback. The last time we had this conversation, I didn’t seem like I was going to acknowledge him. But then again, I wasn’t about to give his parents reasons to doubt our marriage and make this more difficult for him. Hence my decision to do this and also my decision to let the wedding his father proposed happen. I wasn’t thinking about Donald anymore, I’ll do everything to make sure my business with Donald doesn’t escalate. But I wasn’t about to walk away from someone I feel so deeply about because of mistakes I made in the past. Mistakes I plan to actually tell Jonathan all about very soon. Atleast if Jonathan knows the truth, it’ll get Donald off my back. But Jonathan didn’t seem to be taken completely aback
JACQUELINE Home “I’ll tuck Jessica in,” Jonathan said to me as soon as I feed Jessica her medication. I nodded with a small smile. “Thank you,” I whispered as he helped her up, I packed up the plates we just ate with and headed for the kitchen. I placed them in the sink. I portioned the leftover food in tupperwares before storing them in the freezer. I turned back to the sink and began to wash the dishes. My phone beeped in my pocket, I rinsed the soap off my hand, wiped my hands dry and took my phone out. -is Jonathan really taking over the Fintech company?- It was a message from Donald. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head with a tired sigh.-Get the fuck out of my phone!- I texted back angrily, I placed my phone on airplane mode, dropped it nonchalantly on the kitchen counter before turning back to the sink. “Is everything alright?!” I heard Jonathan’s voice. I flinched as I turned lightly to face him. “It’s just work,” I muttered. “Oh,” he mumbled as he came to stand bes
JACQUELINE Next day. Saturday, Day 8 of 14My eyes slowly fluttered open and I met Jonathan’s dark black eyes staring as me. Oh boy, my lips stretched into a shy smile.we were still entangled hands wrapped around each other. “Good Morning,” he hummed and I snuggled closer to him enjoying his warmth before we’ll have to get out of bed.“Sleep good?!” He asked and I nodded slowly. “I’m sorry about yesterday night,” I mumbled and he shrugged lightly.“It’s good, it’s alright. Wanna talk about what you dreamt about?” He asked and I shook my head. “Not really,” I muttered.“That’s fine,” he muttered as he slowly let go of me and we both got up. “I’m guess you have to go to the office today?!” He asked, I gently moved the duvet aside and got out of bed as he adjusted himself in a sitting position, leaning on the head frame of the bed.“Yeah, today is my first official meeting with my team,” I said and he nodded slowly. “I should be back before three though” I quickly added.“I got you
JACKIE “Sip and paint really,” I muttered as we walked into the building Jonathan brought me to.“Yes, sip ..” he muttered with a smile as he pulled out a chair for me and I slowly took my seat.“And paint,” he added as he took his seat opposite me. “Besides your outfit pointed us here,” he added, I chuckled lightly and adjusted in my seat, taking off my bag and gently placing it on the table. I was putting on purple shorts and a purple shirt with drawstring by the side on a simple white sneakers. “Yeah, it’s Friday evening I wanted to be comfortable,”“So, what are we painting?!” I asked as he also settled in.“I don’t know, paint whatever it is you want to paint,” he said with a small smile. “Okayyy. Let me warn you, I haven’t done this ever!” I said and he chuckled lightly as he picked up his painting brush. “We’ve not even started painting yet, you’re already shaking” he said and we both shared a laugh. “I’m just saying,”“Relax, paint whatever it is you want to paint, enjoy
