Born into an extremely influential family in the Far West of the United States, Janis Walter, of course had every right to throw her weight around in every way she could. She possessed characteristics most people believed was supposed to be for the male gender, and unfit for a feminine goddess like her. But you know what? They were wrong. Janis considered them all wrong and they dared not challenge her. On the opposite side was Jax Storms. Not wealthy, not poor...Just in between. Sure, like every western man, he was masculine, but what happens when he comes in contact with Janis who was overbearingly domineering? And in the most unlucky way too. They had a one night stand! ~. .~ Janis gasped in shock when she saw Jax, after haven not seen him since that night. Memories from that night immediately hit her and her cheeks flushed red immediately. He didn't look like he did the last time she had seen him; he looked very different, and more sophisticated. To her surprise, he turned out to be the CEO of the corporation that was closely in competition with hers. "Hello." Janis spoke and his eyes narrowed immediately, before giving her a fake smile that didn't even reach his eyes. "How are..." "I didn't come here for a reunion." Jax cut her off. He didn't like how she smiled at him, he believed it was fake and she was just like her younger sister, who looked down on people who had no status attached to their name. "Then what did you come here for?" She asked, unable to believe that the CEO standing in front of her had been the Uber guy who got her pregnant. "I want custody of my child." He deadpanned and the smile drained from her face.

She had more than enough and combined with her parent's wealth, spending money on unnecessary things was not strange to her.Rather, it had become a habit...Something she had to do daily.Stepping out of a hotel's main space and into the driveway, she beeped her Ferrari open, got into it, and drove off to her next destination.Her name was not something new.It was well known.Successful young ladies were not rare, but she was extraordinarily Successful.Very successful, she had everyone at her beck and call.She was...Janis Walter! ••••Janis's Ferrari pulled into a club almost on the outskirts of the city. It was a very popular club, and she was a regular there.As usual, the security left their posts by the doors of the club and rushed to her side.Janis handed her purse to a lady who ran to her out of habit, and she walked behind the bodyguards as they headed inside the clubhouse.Janis picked out the VIP seat as she had always done every time she came here and a bodyguard pulled out the chair for her to sit on, and only after she was seated did the lady earlier place Janis's purse on the table she was seated on and left together with the bodyguards.Janis smirked as she watched them leave and return to their posts. She was no stranger to these gestures, but they amused her all the time.Imagine being slaves for money...I mean, there was nothing Money couldn't do in this world!It gave her happiness.It was her everything.And she loved every bit of it!Suddenly, like she was in a movie, her countenance changed and she snapped her neck to the side and turned all serious."Hey."The bartender left his place behind the bar desk, tending to the drinks, and hurried to go answer her."The regular, right?""Yes, get me the regular." She replied without hesitation.Only when the bartender turned his back to go get her order did she change her mind?"Hey, wait."The bartender slowly turned to her."Yes, miss?""I'll get something different this time, but I don't know what. Give me a suggestion."Janis stared at the man."We have warm drinks, we have alcohol-free drinks, we have drinks with very high alcohol percentage, we..."Janis interrupted him."Get me a drink with very high alcohol. I'm so happy, I want to get tipsy.""But miss, you drove here..."Janis waved her hand in the air like she was clearing off the man's words."I'll just call a substitute driver."The bartender knew it better to agree than argue with her, so he just dropped it."Okay, if you say so.""Get me some snacks that'd go well with it as well," Janis ordered."Alright, I'll do just that." The bartender replied and left.Janis opened her purse zipper to bring out her phone. She made a quick phone call and texted quite a few times.In this club, she never danced.She only visited here often to throw her weight around and boss the people around here.She never felt bad for it at all.After all, it was all her money's magic.She couldn't care less.So, all she could do here was use her phone as a company.In less than three minutes, the bartender showed up again with her order.Paying respect to the drink, she dropped her phone back into her purse and started drinking and munching on the snack.Soon enough, she was tipsy as hell and felt drunk.So, she just dropped the bottle in her hand down and put her head on the table...."She's wasted.""Truly wasted. I told you, didn't I?""Indeed, you did. But, how did you know she'd be here?""You forgot I visit this bar frequently? I spotted her one time here and decided to keep tabs on her.""You did well, more so calling me at the right time.""Shall we seize this opportunity? There's no one watching us right now.""Of course."He picked up Janis's purse."This purse should cost quite a lot, why don't we take it?""Or we could take the diamond necklace instead. It definitely would cost more than the purse and everything in it.""That's a good idea too, But why not take the two? What's stopping us?"The man smirked."I agree. It's not like she'd remember anything since she's so drunk. And no one is likely to stop us, because out of habit... Our dear Miss Janis has chosen a rather dark spot like the other times.""Yes, and the music is loud too. Everything's favorable."The conversation ended as abruptly as it had started.Just as Janis was about to be robbed, a heavy hand landed on that of the guy who already laid his hands on Janis's neck and had his fingers on the necklace clasp."You're wrong. Not everything's favorable.""Who are you?""A designated driver. Probably hers." He answered simply."How dare an ordinary driver like you come to stop us?""Because I'm here to stop you both from robbing my client.""What?!""Rob?"The two thieves asked simultaneously."Yes. Rob." The stranger repeated."Is he trying to joke with us?" The second guy huffed and whispered into the first guy's ear."I'm not trying to joke here, but if you want to take it that way it's fine by me as well.""Is he drunk as well?""All I know is you're not laying a hand on my client's belonging, she has to pay me after I drive her to her destination.""Oh, he finally spoke up. He needs money." The second guy giggled."If it's money you want, we'll split the profit on a 90 - 10 percentage scale." The first guy bargained."I think you don't understand what I'm saying at all!" The guy who claimed to be a driver yelled over the loud music.In the shadows, The bartender saw three figures moving, and they were around Janis's table. This was exactly what he always feared.She always dressed too well, so well, she always stood out in the crowd, so it was no news if those people were trying to rob her.He could do nothing himself, so he went out for a bit and came back with security."What's going on here?" The bartender asked immediately he got to Janis's table with the security men."These two... They were trying to rob her."Hearing the strange man accuse both of them, the two had no choice but to turn on their heels to flee, but fortunately, the security men were faster."Who are your tender asked facing the other guy."Oh me? I'm just a designated driver. My client here called for a driver." The guy explained."So Janis ordered a driver before getting drunk. That explains why she threw all caution to the wind today." The bartender muttered to himself.He looked at Janis, and then at the guy whose face he couldn't see clearly because of the dim light."Alright. Take her home, I need to go hand over those thieves to the police.""I sure will." The guy answered and bent to pick Janis up.He couldn't carry her because she had quite some weight, so he just slung her hand around his neck and held her waist, walking her out.When they got outside, the security men stopped him."Who are you?""Jax Storms.""Where are you taking the miss?""Home.""Who are you to her?""Her designated driver.""Show me your ID.""What? ID? So I need an ID to take someone home?" He scoffed."Correction, she's not just 'someone', so you need an ID before taking her.""If you all were so concerned about her safety, why on earth did you leave such expensive items on her with no one by her side to look out for her?" Jax scoffed angrily."Because the miss doesn't get so drunk that she can't understand what's going on around her.""I see. But, she's still female, okay?"A security man stepped forward and hit Jax on his cheek."Never let the miss hear you saying that. No. You must never say such a thing, ever, you understand?""Why? It's not like she's Janis Walter, Okay?" Jax rolled his eyes at them.At that moment, Janis pushed her eyes open."I am Janis Walter." She muttered sleepily, before drifting off to sleep again.Jax looked at her and sneered."You wish."Jax looked up at the security men and saw them boring holes into his body."Don't tell me... She's really..."The security men nodded and Jax opened his mouth in surprise.No wonder why those men tried to steal from her. She had quite a lot.If he had known beforehand he'd have just allowed them to steal a little from her since they were poor and probably needed the money more than she did.He was no righteous person.He didn't believe in religious stuff so it'd have been a fair deal to have allowed those two to steal from this lady."But, they didn't look as poor as I'm imagining it in my mind right now. Well, whatever! It's not my business." He mumbled."Why are you here?""I mentioned it earlier." Jax snorted."I'm here to do my job.""And what's your job?" The security man asked, and Jax could swear he was doing it on purpose just to frustrate him."To drive cars, cars that belong to others for money, in the hope that someday, I'll buy mine.""Good. Now go do your job."Although Jax had convinced himself not to get involved in Janis's business, he couldn't help but think some more.From the way those men planned to rob Janis, it meant they had monitored her movements in the bar, and that meant she was a regular there.The security men confirmed it without even knowing as they spoke with him.'JANIS WALTER CONFIRMED TO BE A REGULAR AT POPULAR OUTSKIRT CLUBHOUSE.'If this got out, it'd be a hot topic for about a week or two. Just the title was interesting and would capture the eye of anyone.It was very tempting...... The urge to be the first to leak that!Sounds of plates and trays dropping at different tables filled the atmosphere of the busy restaurant, classy men and women ate mildly. The restaurant was quiet but also a little noisy.Janis and Jax continued to eat their lunch calmly, there was grave silence at the table although Jax could perceive that Janis had a thousand unspoken words. She had her eyes more stationed on Jax than the lunch in front of her. Her eyes kept examining him again and again, when she notices his eyes slowly boring into hers, she withdraws and throws her gaze down to her food.She was famished to see Jax all decked up in wealth, the question of how he became so big and rich continued to hurl up inside her. Janis couldn't help but admire him at every chance she gets. Jax on the other hand was still very focused on his lunch but he also caught her eyes fixed on him a few times. He could see through her self control, the self control that held her from asking the questions she had on the inside. Jax paused
JAXI was so excited to put all plans into action this month, every suggestion made was valuable. This business deal will definitely be in our favour.My secretary held up the briefcase and escorted me back to my office. "Make sure you submit the suggestions to email this evening, I need them. And get me a cup of coffee; Cappuccino" I said."Ok sir" my secretary uttered before leaving the office. Within few minutes he returned with a hot cup of coffee in a small plate.Cappuccino has always been my favourite type of coffee, I'm usually not picky with things but I'm definitely picky when it comes to coffee. I picked up my phone mindlessly and began to scroll through the net, not for any reason particularly. I just wanted to ease myself from all the stress.My subconscious quickly reminded me of my meeting with Janis and my son, everytime I sit alone I begin to remember those moments, for some reason that I can't explain. I also collected her number and promised to give her call, I co
JAXI couldn't stop my mind from drifting back to the moments I saw my son; Jerome. His smile was beaming and his giggles were soft.All features about him were perfect, he was as handsome as I pictured him to be. I'll be back for him someday but for now I just have to focus on my father's health.I lost mum but I can't loose him too, he just came into my life I can't let him leave after few years. We still have so much to do together. Last year my father; Leo was diagnosed for Diabetes, I was frightened and devasted to hear the doctor's reports about him, how on earth did he get diabetes? Ever since I saw the reports I promised to always stand by him and help him get through it. This wasn't how I pictured loosing my father the second time. It's way too sudden and unexpected.Asides Jerome, he is my only family right now and I'll do everything in my power to see that he is healthy again."Come in" the doctor obliged from behind the door of his office. I held my father by the hand and
JANISThe car tires ceased it's rational movement as the car halted to a stop inside the hospital's vicinity. My son's wellbeing is everything to me, his health is important to me therefore I must bring him to the hospital every month for a checkup.As Jerome's mother I must make sure that he is fit on all aspects of his life. I made a promise to be his mother and also his father, I said I wasn't going to let him lack anything and that includes stable health. Although his father is no longer a mysterious Uber driver, he is now a rich populous business tycoon who will stop at nothing to take his child away from me. I'll always stand by Jerome, guide him and protect him.Come to think of it, Jax's character has completely changed. Does money really change people?He was so calm and sweet when he was an Uber driver but ever since he gained so much wealth he has become very arrogant, rude and stubborn.I really hope Jax listens to mum and mellows down for the sake of Jerome. Things will
JAXI sat on my heavy duty office chair behind the huge brown mahogany table, reminiscing about my conversation with Janis last night. Even after so many years her eyes still sparkled and her orbs were beautifully structured.I couldn't hold back the thoughts of how beautiful Janis was. Her lips parted in such a very elegant manner as she opened them to speak. Little observations about Janis Walter clouded my mind as I sat in my office, this observations weren't initiated last night at the party so why now?Irrespective of the fact that she looked so stunning, I wasn't interested in all that at the party, my concerns were focused on my son. Getting custody for my son was my main agenda not reuniting with Janis.I was stern and strict to Janis particularly because i needed information about my son, the disrespect and degrading attitude of the Walters was another reason why I was so strict and rude to Janis at the party.After everything Janis and Stravis had done to me, been friendly t
JANIS' POV I straddled Jerome in my hands, planting kisses all over his face whilst he giggled and tittered repeatedly. I didn't know how long I had been in here with him but I was too scared to walk out of the room. I just want Jerome to be by my side at all times like this. I wanted to hold him in my hands and kiss him daily whilst assuring him of my protection and desire to keep him. I wanted Jerome to know how much I loved him. I can't let Jax have his way and separate me from my son. The fear of loosing Jerome to Jax was so terrifying that I could not even drop Jerome down for a nano-second . I was too mortified whenever I recounted Jax's threat. He wasn't bluffing and neither was he going to back down. I can't afford to loose this battle.Never. A rapid knock on the door startled me and had the hairs on my body standing. My breathing hitched in my throat and my heart skipped a beat. Could it be Jax.No..absolutely not. I waved the thought off. He wouldn't come
