Throughout the ride home, his eyes burnt with unshed tears as he remembered her words. She didn't know he was behind the door so she didn't realize he was listening to everything she said. His hands pressed the steering tightly as he horned loudly at the cars, trying to navigate through the busy road till he finally got home. Once he arrived, he parked his car carelessly on the driveway and jumped out, walking into his house in fury.He had planned to make a quick stop at her house that morning to congratulate her on the show she had the previous day and invite her for dinner, but now, his plans were scattered. Everything was totally ruined. He screamed loudly as he punched the wall in front of him making his knuckles bleed.“When I thought I could love again, she played me. it was all about her, only about her.” He screamed. Hle threw a painting to the ground making it crash and break to pieces. He raked his hands through his hair in frustration as he smiled out in pains. His knuckles
Jack drove through the beautiful brightly illuminated street that led to Karen's house. She now lived in one of the expensive and luxurious estates in Los Angeles. Not the most expensive, but one that was definitely high classed. He listened to the tunes that played from the car stereo as he drove composedly along the now less busy road, bumping his head occasionally to his favourite parts of the songs. He slowed down and diverted into the smaller road that cut off the highway and led to the estate where she lived. His mind wandered to the different events that had gone down in his life in the past months before settling on Karen. “It was meant to just be a little publicity show to help me and show I've fallen in love with him and I can't even tell him the truth. I'm fucked up.” Her words replayed in his mind and he gripped the steering wheel tightly, shutting his eyes tight in the process. His knuckles turned white as his face hardened. He opened his eyes and his demeanour displayed
He walked into the sitting room and took a seat on one of the single couches while she went into her bedroom. She dropped her hand bag on the dressing table and went to sit on the bed to pull off her heels. She pulled off the heels, massaging her feet gently.Jack sat on the chair, cross legged as he stared round her sitting room. Many things had changed since the last time he had visited. It now looked more beautiful and luxurious. He stared at her photos that hung on one side of the wall. It consisted of photos of different gigs. He stood up and walked over to have a closer look.“She is really pretty." he stated to himself, running his large hand on one of the photos where she posed in a bikini. He continued staring at the photos, and a few moments later, he felt two hands wrap around his abdomen. His body tensed at the sudden contact as he felt her body leaning into him before he relaxed.“I've missed you a lot.” She stated, wrapping her hands on his body that was covered with heav
Jack sat on his chair behind his large office table. His laptop was switched on and placed in front of him while different documents were littered on his table. He looked tired, his sleeves were rolled mid arm and the first two buttons of his shirt were left open. He typed away into his laptop with every bit of concentration. He had come into the office at his usual time, early and prompt. He had sealed the contract deal and now, it was time for some paperwork. He had been working on his laptop for over two hours now and was almost done. He finished working on the documents and emailed it to his secretary who was to send it to Holt Inc.“Check your email. I've sent a document. Forward it to the client.” He said into the telephone after the call had connected.“Yes sir." She replied from the other side of the call and he dropped the call, relaxing into his chair. It was still morning and his work for the day had just ended. He had woken up some minutes past four am and left Karen's hou
It's been over a month since Karen officially launched her fashion magazine and so far, things had been going on smoothly for her until a few days ago when Jack pulled out his investment from her fashion firm and finally ghosted her.During her official launching program, he had invested one million dollars into her company which she had hoped to use in the expansion before his unexpected pullout. The fashion magazine was to be released monthly and sold at $2.50 each. The company's stocks had fallen by more than seventy percent in less than twenty four hours and it was currently still falling.She had woken up to see the published articles on her phone and had fallen into an initial shock before recovering. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked numb, reading through the news on different blogs and channels. Jack was yet to say anything, and his silence was hurting her even more.The bloggers had jumped greedily on the news, publishing half-baked stories on what they felt was tru
“What did the doctor say?” He questioned when he noticed that she had stopped sobbing. “He said it's stress, I'm tired." She lamented and he pulled her into a side hug, stroking her hair tenderly.***Jack sat on one of the chairs in the hospital room, his head buried in his hands as he tried to rest a little. The doctor had just left the room less than thirty minutes ago after he had carried out some check up on his father. The doctor had confirmed that the old Mr Antonio was very dehydrated and had low blood pressure which resulted in a low heart rate which led to his collapse. After administering fludrocortisone to help raise his blood volume and midodrine to boost his blood pressure, he had instructed they let him rest and after lying idle on the bed for some minutes, Antonio finally fell asleep again.His mom was much calmer now after the doctor had confirmed that he was responding to treatment. His mother had called him about two hours ago and she was really panicked. His fathe
After crying for some minutes, she picked herself up from the chair and walked to her room. She unlocked the door, got inside the room and closed it before sliding to the floor, leaning on the door. She had tried these past weeks to pick up the pieces Jack had broken her to, and now, a baby was growing inside of her. She placed her hand on her belly, rubbing it gently, as if she wanted to feel it. A smile broke on her face as she thought of the child. She was going to keep it. She was going to be a proud mother.Jack supported his dad as they walked out of the hospital to his car parked at the garage. His father had just been discharged after spending three days in the hospital. The doctor had confirmed that he was okay to be discharged, but he was to rest at home in order to fully recover. His parents got into the back seat while he occupied the driver's seat. Ever since he moved out of his parent's house, he had been driving himself alone. He hated the extra presence of a driver. He
She walked out of the house and slammed the door shut while he still stood in the same position, his hand on his hair while he was deep in thoughts.“I'm pregnant, and you're responsible." Her voice rang in his head and he fell to the sofa weakly. Being a father wasn't something he wanted to do. The thought alone scared him to witts. Sure, he loved sex, but getting a girl pregnant in the process was something he always avoided. He tried to think back to occasions when he had sex with Karen without condoms, and they were too many to be called a mistake. He knew he had made a great mistake and had no one else to blame, but himself. The second mistake he had made.His mind was still in a haze as he buried his head in his palm. He wasn't going to make a decision. Atleast, not suddenly. His phone beeped beside him and he picked it up lazily and unlocked it. It was a text message from an unsaved number. He read the content of the text, hissed and dumped his phone back on the chair.It has b
