Jessica slammed her fist on the table and rose to her feet, aggressively shoving the seat behind her further away. "This is outrageous! It is more than outrageous!" She fumed. "How can you ask for something as lowly as this from me?" She squinted. "I may have little value in your eyes but I know my worth enough to know that I will never be seen working the cash register at some dumb café!" She kept her head high as she spoke.

Michael fumed. "How dare you talk back to your mother-in-law like that?!" He rose to his feet like a rising storm. "Do you have any idea of the gravity of what you just did?" He pointed a judgmental finger at her face. "This is the highest form of disrespect in front of your parents in-law!"

"Go ahead!" Jessica barked. "Get angry! Yell all you want but let me tell you this, however angry you get, it will not drive me to do something as lowly as this. Can't you even stop to think about this for once? This isn't embarrassing for me alone but the entire Knowles fami

  • His Greatest Regret    Her Insecurities

    Cara laid with her back on the bed, she felt awkward just laying there while Abigail searched her insides with a transducer. The ultrasound gel was cold and enjoyed the feel of that on her stomach but now she need to pee from all the water Abigail had forced down her throat. "It is for the ultrasound!" She had insisted. Cara wanted to wiggle her leg out of boredom but Abigail ordered her not to move. Not even by an inch. "Your little nugget is doing just fine." There was a soft smile on her lips. "I can't wait for the day this baby comes out to the real world!""Well it's still months away so..." Cara responded, not sounding as excited as Abigail had expected her to be. Abigail's brow went up in question. "What is with such a response? Are you not excited to be a mom?""Well I am excited to have a baby." Cara responded, her left leg finally wiggling. "Not the same thing." Abigail proclaimed. She took off the transducer from Cara's stomach and wiped the gel off of her still invisi

  • His Greatest Regret    Being A Good Mom

    Clearing her throat, she brought herself back to reality, her smile returning to her face. "Well... Jeremy is only closing two, still very small and needing of his mother's love. Even if his father is not around to give it, I can be around for him. I will be around for him. I choose to be."Thankfully, he is too small now to remember that I once neglected him when he gets older. It is not too late for me to fix our relationship but you... Oh it is too late to fix anything. Your son has even lost his grip on sanity. Tch tch tch... I can only wonder who is to blame for such a thing." She started out of the dining room and asked Sarah when she got close to her ear. "Aren't you getting late for your business meeting?" With a smile, she walked away. Sarah stood there, awkwardness flowing like blood inside of her. She felt so confused, her emotions were a mess. She could not understand exactly what she was feeling at that moment and why she was feeling that way. "Oh..." She batted her la

  • His Greatest Regret    Like His Father

    Steps unsteady, mind confused. Jessica stumbled home, feeling her legs' reluctance to return home. She could not blame them though could she? It weren't just her legs that did not want to go home but her entire body and mind as well. How could she? She had only recently saved herself from a lifelong of repaying a debt she did not owe so how come she was already in another one? A hundred million!"Look who's back--""Gah!!!" Jessica flinched, throwing her hands up in the air at the voice that boomed from in front of her. How had she not seen her?Sarah herself was taken by surprise at Jessica's reaction. She took a step backward, staring wide eyed at her. "Oh my goodness, what was that? Why do you look like you have just seen a ghost?" Jessica let out a soft sigh and composed herself. Clearing her throat, she threw her hair behind her back and said, "would have been better than seeing your face." Sarah pouted disappointedly. She could not say she was surprised by Jessica's rudeness

  • His Greatest Regret    Hope To Fight For Custody

    The house was modest yet huge at the same time. Every piece of furniture was white and calm, framed arts decorated the white wallpapered walls and then some frames of Abigail and a little boy. Cara stared exceptionally at that frame. It caught her attention. "You didn't tell me you were a mother."Abigail, who had processed into the kitchen, popped her head out and glanced at Cara. "Huh? And also, juice or tea?" She asked. "I said," Cara turned away from the frame and turned to face Abigail. "You did not mention it to me that you are a mother. And also, juice." "Oh..." Abigail said softly. She returned to the kitchen and poured a glass of orange juice for Cara before returning to the living room. They both sat at the dining and Cara received the juice with a smile and took a sip from it. "mmph... Hand made?" Her thin brow arched. Abigail nodded with a gentle smile. A sigh left her mouth. "He is cute isn't he?" She was staring at the picture now. Cara responded with a nod and too

  • His Greatest Regret    One Hundred Million Dollars

    Jessica cleared her throat, feeling awkward for caring at all about who Cara mixed with. She returned her focus to the man that was sitting opposite her and asked, remembering why they were even sitting there in the first place. "Right, so forget them, I don't care about anything that she does. So tell me again how much you want to collect." Jayden let out a soft laugh and shook his head. With a sigh, he spoke up, "well, your wish is my command." He picked up her glass and sipped from it before speaking again, "you were so absent minded when I mentioned it before but don't worry, I'll say it again. I said just a hundred million dollars would do."Jessica's eyes widened, "a hundred million?!" She yelled out in a loud tone. She cared less about the way people turned to look at her, what mattered most was the outrageous amount that Jayden was asking for. "That is just absurd! Are you out of your God damned mind?! You want me to pay you a hundred million dollars just to keep your mouth

  • His Greatest Regret    It Burns

    Cara could not believe what had just played out, why was Jayden still a delinquent as always? Did he not see the need to amend his ways? She let out a scoff of irritation and took a deep breath to calm herself. Realizing that she had zoned out for a moment, she cleared her throat and managed a weak and apologetic smile. "Abigail, I am so sorry about that, that's the way he has always been and i want you to believe me when i say he is not a friend--""Cara, calm down," Abigail cut her off softly. "It's fine, i could see how stiff you went when you saw him coming by. I had expected something like that from a man who did not even bother to sit down properly in the first place." She said with a soft laughter. Cara smiled. "But still, he was really rude and that was my fault for entertaining him in the first place.""No dear, you are a public figure now," Abigail reached out and touched Cara's hand gently. "Expect more of this from even strangers and in situations like that, all you can
