Broken to finding love Chapter 20: Embracing the future
As Jane walked down the stairs, she heard all her mom said to her father. She felt regretful. If not because of her, her parents wouldn’t be having this issue. “Mom,” she walked up to her mom as she took her hand and led her to take a seat. She sat down beside her as she faced her father. “Dad, I know I was childish about my behavior some months ago, no matter what, I’m still the heiress of the Lockwood. I have to fulfill my duty as the heiress of this wonderful family. I don’t want my marriage to cause an issue between you and mom. If you want me to get married no problem, I will do anything for your forgiveness, and for the growth of the family.” “Jane…” her mother called out to her with a choked voice. “You don’t need to force yourself. Don’t worry, when the Banks family come here tomorrow, I will chase them away and tell them we are not interested in this fucking marriage.” Evelyn cursed as she reassured her daughter. “Mom”, Jane called out to her mother feeling touched. “I’v

Jason and Evelyn exchanged a glance before Jason released her from his embrace. They both went to the front door to welcome their guest as the host and hostess. The Bank’s family drove more than five luxurious cars into the garage. They came down one after another as they made their way to the front door. As the Banks family emerged from their vehicles, Jason and Evelyn stood tall, gracious hosts welcoming their esteemed guests. Sir Edward Bank, Leonard's grandfather, led the procession, his imposing figure commanding respect. Reginald Banks, Leonard's father, followed closely, his eyes scanning the Lockwood estate with interest. Catherine, Leonard's mother, also followed with her younger daughter, Lisa, clinging to her arms. Leonard himself appeared last, his gaze locking onto the Lockwood estate taking in the view of where Jane grew up. Tall, handsome, and confident, Leonard exuded an aura of quiet strength. “Welcome, Sir Edward. It's an honor to have you and your family he

Jane stormed out of the living room with Leonard following closely behind. Immediately after they reached the garden, Jen turned around, her eyes filled with anger. “You!” she pointed her shaky index finger at Leonard, her voice shaking with anger. “Was it because you know that I’m your fiancée, that was why you saved me at the bridge the other day?” She questioned him, her eyes fixed in his expression, not wanting to miss anything. Leonard's smile immediately fell at Jane’s claims. He took a step closer to her. “What if I tell you that I never knew about your existence before our unexpected encounter, would you believe me? I get to know about who my fiancée was the day you woke up from coma at the hospital.” Jane gazed deeply into his eyes, searching for a hint of lie in them, but Leonard’s expression was hard to read. “Why didn't you tell me after knowing? Gosh,” she yanked her hair in frustration. “I even stayed at your place for the past two months, and you didn’t bring this up.

Leonard's lips reluctantly left Jane’s, and they turned to face the intruder. “Sorry to interrupt,” Desmond said with a warm smile, “but dinner is ready. Everyone is waiting for you guys.” “We will be right there, Desmond, thank you.” Leonard grinned. Desmond nodded, and left. Jane was shy being caught by her brother making out. Seeing her shy expression, Leonard's frustration of being interrupted turned into a warm smile. “Let’s go.” He held her hand, pulling her with him. “Leonard wait,” Jane stopped, making Leonard also stop. “I think I should be honest with your family and tell them about my previous marriage. It won’t be nice if they later knew from somewhere.” Jane suggested. Leonard's expression turned resolute. “No, Jane. Don't tell them. It's our personal life, no one else needs to know.” Knowing that if his family came to know about Jane's previous marriage, the good relationship they seemed to have now would turn sour. Even his grandfather forcing him to get married to

Listening to the mocking voice behind her, Jane's smile faltered, her eyes narrowing slightly. Looking at the stranger through the dressing mirror, Jane had the feeling that Ivy is another bitch cooking up something. Lisa’s eyes widened in embarrassment. “Ivy, stop it. This is Jane, my brother 's fiancée, and his future wife. By the way, Jane is not that young. She is 24, and Leonard is just 4 years older than her.” Lisa said angrily. “And my brother is in love with her, so this isn’t a forced marriage, and stop spouting nonsense.” Ivy was so angry listening to Lisa. She thought with all the years she had been together with Lisa, no matter what, she should support her. But seeing her supporting the stranger in front of her, she boiled with anger. Ivy’s face reddened, her eyes blazing with anger. “You're defending her?” Ivy spat, her voice venomous. “You're choosing her over me?” Lisa stepped forward, her hands raised calmingly. “Ivy, no, it's not like that. I'm just telling the tru

Ivy, who had been watching everything unfold, couldn’t take it anymore. She had loved Leonard for more than fifteen years now. She once confessed her feelings for him, but he rejected her. She thought since he had been single for all this while, she felt he might like her too. Now seeing another woman in his embrace, she couldn’t take it. As she saw Leonard wanting to kiss Jane, she couldn’t help interrupting. Her shout echoed through the ballroom, “How could you, Leonard? How could you get engaged with her?” Her voice cracked, and tears streamed down her face. Jane and Leonard's kiss was forgotten as all eyes turned to Ivy. She stumbled forward, her heels clicking on the marble floor. Suddenly, she lost her balance and crashed into a nearby waiter. The waiter's tray of drinks went flying, shattering on the floor. Ivy cried out, clutching her ankle. “Oh, my God, I'm hurt!” Seeing Leonard still standing beside Jane, looking at her as if he was looking at a joke, a sharp pain stung

As the evening wore on, Leonard and Jane put Ava's dramatic outburst behind them, focusing on celebrating their engagement with loved ones. The party's lively atmosphere and warm congratulations from guests were a balm to Jane's frazzled nerves. Lucy, Jane's closest friend, couldn't help but empathize with her. “I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, Jane,” she said, wrapping her in a tight hug. “You deserve all the happiness in the world, and I'm thrilled you've found it with Leonard.” Jane smiled gratefully. “Thanks, Lucy. Ava's issues run deeper than I realized.” As the night drew to a close, Leonard and Jane exchanged relieved glances. They bid farewell to their parents and slipped away, eager to leave the drama behind. The drive to Leonard's mansion was peaceful. Jane gazed out at the city lights, feeling grateful and also doubtful at the same time. Is this journey I’m about to embark on in favor of me? She questioned herself. “We are home, Jane.

Why are you here?” Jane’s eyes were filled with suspicions. After her wedding with Leonard, this would be the first time she would be seeing Aaron. With her investigation from Leonard, she was told that Aaron had left the country the day they wedded. She was surprised to see him here.“Ouch, cupcake, is this your attitude to someone who just saved you.

“Hmm,” Jane groaned in pain as she lifted her upper body up from the bed. Her waist felt like it was broken. Her whole body didn’t feel like it was hers. She hissed in pain as she held the bed headboard to stabilize herself.“Leonard, you are so cruel!” Jane cursed as her legs wobbled under her. She fell back on the bed the moment her legs made contact with the floor. Her gaze shifted to the bedside clock to see that it was half past five in the evening.Her eyes widened in shock after realizing she had slept throughout the day. Her face was tinted red as she remembered all that happened last night. Her voice was hoarse from Leonard’s hours of torture. It was all that beast-like man’s fault, who didn’t stop torturing her until she passed out.After Leonard carried her to their bedroom, he harshly dropped her on the bed, and took off the towel covering her wet body, which had already turned red from staying too long inside the cold bathtub.

Although she enjoyed how Leonard was teaching Teddy a lesson, she couldn’t stand and watch Leonard kill someone.“Leonard, that’s enough!” Jane yelled at the top of her voice, but it seems like Leonard didn’t hear her at all. He continued his assault on Teddy, whose face was already swollen, with blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.As Jane saw that Leonard wasn’t ready to listen to her, she stepped forward and held his fist which was raised in the air to punch Teddy. “Leonard, that’s okay. You can’t continue hitting him like that.” Jane shook her head at Leonard when she realised that she had his attention. Leonard shut his eyes, trying to control the anger that was still brewing inside of him.“Are you feeling sorry for him

On the highway.“Hmm,” Jane squinted her eyes as she moaned in pain due to how uncomfortable she was feeling. She didn’t know where she was as her brain was yet to register what’s going on.“Dear ex-wife, you are awake.” Teddy voices out behind the wheels immediately he hears Jane’s painful moan. It was then it dawned on Jane that she had been kidnapped. She didn’t know what happened to her earlier that made her lose consciousness. She also noticed that she was in a moving car. She was resting her back on the car backrest with her hands tied behind her.The first thing she did was to check her surroundings. She noticed the car was going downtown, almost making its way out of Manhattan.“Teddy, where the hell are you taking me?” Jane said calmly, not wanting to give her abductor the impression of being scared.

Her mind went abuzz, dreading the worst thing that might have happened to her boss. “Mrs. Bank? Jane! Where are you?” Lily's voice echoed all over the parking lot, but there was no sign of Jane. It was like she had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Just when she was about to pull out her phone to inform Leonard what just happened, James pulled over in front of her.“Where is Mrs. Bank? Is she still inside?” James asked as he walked up to Lily, whose body was shaking with dread. “I don’t know where she is. She was waiting for you as always.

Jane had left the conference room immediately after the meeting ended.Jane walked to her desk in a daze. How she had made it back to her office, she can’t say. She was still in shock after seeing that person. According to her brother, he would become a partner with their company, not only that, Jane would also be attending any of their business dealings.“Jane?” Lily had never seen Jane so lost before. She had called her name thrice after she sat down, but it seems like Jane was in her own world. She didn’t seem to hear her.“What’s wrong with you, Jane? Are you sure you are okay?” Lily was worried about her boss. She felt helpless for not being able to know what was wrong with Jane. With all Lily’s questions, Jane didn’t seem to hear her.“I think I would have to call Mr. Bank and tell me wha
