Love, Obsession, Torture CHAPTER 149
JACKI braced my hand around the doorknob and stepped into my office, observing Miller slouched against the floor-to-ceiling window, busily tapping away against his screen.“Can you tell me why we couldn’t talk on the phone?” I cut to the chase, visibly annoyed and even more so when I had to separate from my heartbeat so early in the fucking morning.“I have a location to show you, sir.”“This had better be good, Miller. I have a pregnant girlfriend at home I want to fucking be with.”“This is it, Sir.” He pulled out a location on his phone, pining it to my face. “I triangulated an area, it so happens your brother had been hiding in the ruins for weeks.”“Are you sure about your source?”“Positive. Do I call the police?”“You can. Let’s go pay my foolish brother a visit, shall we?” We strode out, matching to my car in precision and speeding away. My mind only fixed on one thing only; this bollock ends today, at least for Mason. I patted the fabric of my side pocket, making absolutely

ROBINI stopped tearing up, wiped my face and shuffled to the edge of the bed, padding gingerly across the room and lightly applying makeup to mask the puffiness, before sauntering towards Jack’s study.I pulled open every damn drawer in view, working my hands through the space, rummaging for anything that could shed light on what was going on. But my attention was distracted when Cathy swung the door open, her form materialising suddenly in the doorway.My face turned brick red.“Um… I was just looking for—”“You don’t need to explain yourself to me, Robin. This house is yours as much as it’s Jack’s.”I nodded, swallowing down the tight lump forming in my throat.“A Miss Rodriguez is outside the gates. She says she needs to see you. Do I tell security to clear her in?”I rounded Jack’s padded chair, sinking slowly into it. Why would Amara want to see me? Wasn’t ignoring her calls evident enough that I didn’t want anything to do with her?“Send her away,” I said after a long pause.“M

ROBIN“Thank you,” I whispered, snaking my arms around Jack’s head as he rested it on my exposed, protruding belly.“It’s an honour to bathe you, Robin. I’ll gladly do it for the rest of my life,” he said, trailing gentle kisses across my belly. “Shit! I felt them kick, baby!” he cried, quickly shifting around me and planting his ear against my skin.“Oh… oh, really?” I shrieked, feeling my hands around my stomach as the kicks grew stronger by the second. It was surreal. “Oh, my God, Jack.”He heaved himself up, propping his weight on one elbow, his eyes glowing with warmth.“It’s a priceless feeling to experience, baby. I owe you my life for carrying our babies.” He reached forward and kiss me softly on the lips, rendering me useless with the whirlwind of emotions consuming me.“I love you, Jack… I’m glad we’re doing this together. Thank you too. So much, for everything you’ve done for my family… having us here in your mansion… taking care of—““Never thank me, Robin.” He shook his h

ROBIN“We’re sorry for postponing the reading for so long. We were… dealing with a hiccup.”“Please don’t worry, Mrs Betton. I completely understand this is a very difficult time for your family. I’m deeply sorry for your loss,” Mr Smith said, setting his briefcase on Jack’s study desk before withdrawing several documents and passing a copy to everyone present in the room—Mum, Lana, Margaret and me.“In my hand is the authentic Last Will and Testament of your late husband and father, George-Garret Betton, as approved by the probate court.”He looked around the room, pushed his glasses up his nose, before continuing.“We’ll begin with his companies.” He pulled out another document.“His real estate company, together with its staff and all operations, shall be divided equally between my daughters, Lana and Robin.” He pulled his head up, his gaze sweeping across our faces.“It was his wish that the two of you continue building his thriving business and carry on his legacy. Next. His oil

ROBIN“Hey,” I said softly to Mike, sinking gingerly into the squashy cushions of Lana’s bed. She lay curled up into an orb, her arms braced around her knees, face buried between her thighs. She had been devastated ever since she read Daddy’s letter—downhearted and outright shattered. Emotions that seemed to be drawn out by regret…regret over not having spoken to our father before he passed, and I understood her. My last conversation with George was certainly helping me navigate this difficult time. Before he died, I knew he loved me very much. I knew there was nothing he wouldn’t do for me, I also knew he would lay down his life for me and his grandchildren—and he did, as grotesque as that may have felt. No love could top what he did for me and my babies, but that act of selflessness had left an insurmountable pain, one we’d have to live with for a long time.“How is she doing?”“She’s been like this since morning, Robin. Not responding to anything I say. I managed to get her into th

ROBINA WEEK LATER…AFTER THE PRIVATE BURIAL OF GEORGEButterbean, I haven’t used this name since Year Seven. You always hated it whenever I called you Butterbean, but when I eventually stopped, you sternly scolded me for putting an end to the pet names. We used to laugh about that when we weren’t in a heated disagreement, or arguing about something I did—or didn’t do. Because God only knows why He gave me a pigheaded daughter like myself. Yes, Lana, you’re just like me. Strong, independent, intelligent and stubborn. Extremely stubborn, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m deeply sorry, my girl, for betraying your trust. For making you lose faith in me as the role model you once admired and the father you loved. Nothing I say or do can fill the void I’ve created, or heal the pain I’ve caused you, Robin and your mother, but my darling, forgive me. Forgive your old man. I don’t know how long it will take for you to start speaking to me again, but I’m going to try every single da
