LOGINJane's POV."I told you, Doc, this is a very bad idea." I said to Doctor Morgan. "Why do we need him here?" I couldn't bring myself to understand why she was always asking him to be present in my appointments."He's the father of your child, right?" She asked, as if needing to hear the confirmation from me."Unfortunately," I twitched my tongue."He also needs parental education too, and prenatal knowledge...""Argghh!" I groaned before she even finished. "Didn't I tell you before, Doc? Adrian and I are divorced. And we're fucking not living together so he doesn't need all these," I tried to make her understand.The door opened, and without turning, I knew who it was. I could smell him already."Good morning, Doc," his voice was calm."Good morning, Mr Blackwood," she smiled at him. "Please, take a seat."He came and sat on the chair beside me. "So," the doctor faced me again. "Do you have any complaints? Any illnesses, conditions?" She asked."Headache," I answered. "I get unbearab
Adrian's POV.We reached the car, and that motherfucker opened the door to the front passenger seat for Jane."And I'll let you sit together with my wife?" I snapped at him."I'll be driving," he said tiredly. "She'll sit with me in the backseat," I said, opening the door to the backseat for Jane. "And I'll be your driver?" He shot, his face going cold. "Of course," I nodded, matter-of-factly. "So do your job properly," I held Jane's hand, and she removed her hand from mine instantly. "I'll be the driver," she declared. "And you two will sit in the backseat together." My mouth fell open. Never!"Over my dead body," the idiot spat, and for the first time I was agreeing with him.Without saying a word to either of us, Jane turned to the road. "Where are you going?" He asked her. "To catch a cab," she answered. What?!As much as I hated the idea, I slid into the backseat of the car without wasting time further. The bastard joined me in the backseat within seconds, and Jane had
Jane's POV.My doorbell rang, and quickly I got to it. Opening the door, Ethan came in view with a wide smile on his face."Good morning, Sunshine," his smile widener as he handed me a rose."Good morning, Ethan," I smiled in return, receiving his rose."Ready to go?" He asked."Oh. No, I'm not," I answered. "I need to go to the hospital first for my antenatal appointment." "Come on, I'll take you," he offered as he took my hand. But then another hand landed on mine, stopping Ethan.Ethan froze instantly, shocked, and confused. The door opened further, and Adrian came fully in view, his eyes firing daggers at Ethan. "Adrian?" Ethan's eyes widened. "Jane, you're—""Long time no see, Your Honor," Adrian smiled but it was every sense a fake smile. "Jane..." Ethan faced me again, earnestly seeking an explanation."It's not what you think," I cleared him up. "I only found him yesterday... dying, and I couldn't turn away," I explained."But what is he doing in your apartment?" Ethan que
Adrian's POV. "Jane..." "What makes you think that I'm not happy?" She finally met my gaze. "If anything, I'm the happiest now... now that I am away from you, Adrian Blackwood." It was like a gash to my heart. The raw pain in her eyes, and voice. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, I could see it, just how much I've hurt her. I pulled her into a hug. I shouldn't have, but at this moment, we both needed it. She froze for some seconds, stunned by my action. But then she began struggling against me, trying to break free from my embrace. I wouldn't blame her, but still, I held her tightly. "I'm sorry," I finally said the words, and she stilled. "I'm really sorry... for breaking your heart."I waited for a reaction from her but I got nothing... just stillness. Over the weeks, after everything that's happened, my eyes are opened now to see the woman who's loved me despite everything. Even today when she should have left me to the cold hands of death, she saved me again when I
Jane's POV.My suspicion had been right all along, Adrian was in this building. But why?I had initially stepped out for a night snack when I bumped into Adrian. I was craving street food. Grilled, fried, boiled, anything as long as it was being prepared on the street. I was watching a movie when that stupid craving started. "Jane..." he spoke. I didn't even bother to look at him. I wasn't interested in what he was going to say. "I..." "Don't start it," I cut him off. He was never going to say anything reasonable anyway. He's only gonna annoy me with his words so I don't want to hear it. Why the hell did I even save him and bring him to my apartment?"Okay, but please I really need to use the restroom." A bubble burst in my head. What?!I turned quickly to find him doubling over on the couch, his face twisted in discomfort. My finger moved before my words came, pointing in the direction of the guest toilet. "Over there." He bolted towards the place before an disaster would hap
Adrian's POV.My stomach was a mix of storm and turmoil, my strength drained, and I wouldn't stop visiting the toilet. I dragged myself slowly out of my apartment. I needed help otherwise I'd die. Or maybe this was even for the better... to pay for the all wrong I've committed. I was about turning back into my apartment when the door opposite my apartment opened, and she stepped out. Jane.So it really was her apartment. But who was that other woman and why did she come out of Jane's apartment earlier?My heart stopped beating for a second before it picked up again, beating loudly in my ears. My feet gave away, and I came in contact with the ground. My breath was slowly slipping from me again, but my eyes remained on her. She stood frozen at her door, fear mixed with something else in her eyes. I should have asked for her help, but I didn't dare. Not after everything I've put her through. Slowly my eyes shut, and within a few seconds, I felt her lift my head and place it somet
Jane's POV.So I'm not invincible to Adrian. He even called me. In our three years of marriage, Adrian has never been the first to give me a call. Even when he saw my missed calls and messages, he never called or texted back.I placed my hand on my stomach out of habit, and a smile curled up my lip
Jane's POV.I woke up from the discomfort lodging in my nostrils, and my throat. Opening my eyes, the room was misty. Smoke?Where was it coming from?I rushed out of bed, coughing hard as I stepped out of the guest room I was in. The living room was worse, the workers coughing in discomfort as t
Jane's POV.For the first time, I see helplessness in his eyes. I had never experienced this side of Adrian before that if felt so much like I was dreaming. He looked at me, but not with anger, he looked at me with regret of something I wasn't sure of. I looked at the mess I had made on him, tha
Jane's POV.His words at Ethan provoked me, he was really mannerless. I tried to tell him he was wrong, trying to tell him that influence or power doesn't solve anything, and all he did was silence me? That too, in the most annoying way ever? Again he was trying to use the situation to his own gai
