(Jane’s POV)

The morning light poured through the curtains, but I wasn’t ready to move.

I’d been awake long before my alarm went off, staring at the ceiling, lost in the same loop of thoughts that refused to leave me alone.

Even now, I couldn’t tell if I wanted to remember it or forget it.

I dragged myself out of bed, dressed quietly, and made some tea. My reflection in the mirror looked calm enough, but the circles under my eyes told the truth. I’d barely slept.

It was my second week at the new job. I should’ve been excited… new start, new faces, but my mind wouldn’t stop replaying last night.

I hated that it still got to me.

When I finally stepped outside, the city was already awake. Cars honking, people rushing, the faint smell of coffee mixing with morning air. I tightened my coat and kept walking.

The office was quiet when I arrived. A few people were already at their desks, typing away.

I went straight to my cubicle, set my bag down, and opened my laptop.

Emails.

    Jane's POVA call came in.My phone was already in my bag. When I dipped my hand in my bag and brought it out, the name I saw was not the name I was expecting. It was Kennedy.I did not pick it. Ben looked at my phone and then back at me. “Go ahead, pick it up. Which of your numerous boyfriends is it this time huh?” He said as he was now closing the door behind him.I became scared. His voice had changed so has his countenance. “Ben, leave me alone else I am going to call the cops.” I said moving back. He was not even listening to me, he moved closer and I closed my eyes and the next thing I heard was a knock on the door. He stopped and I opened my eyes.It was gentle at first and then, it came louder again as I voice followed.“Jane?” Thank goodness, it was Kennedy. Ben had to step aside. He did not want Kennedy to know who he was, not yet. I immediately rushed and opened the door. He looked at me and then at Ben.“What is going on here?” He asked, looking at Ben“I came to dro

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 84- The Unexpected Word

    Jane's POV It was morning already and I did not even know if I slept at all last night or not. The bright light from the morning sun was now finding its way into the room, like a reminder that a new day has begun. I was lying down on my bed facing up as I rested my arm on my forehead. Yesterday was a whole lot. Trying to process everything from the beginning of yesterday till the end was more draining than going to work.Yes they were some good occurrences and memories that I would cherish for the rest of my life. The moments I had with Kennedy in the office last night… The thought alone sent shivers down my spine and made me tickle down there, but then… the call with him when I was about to go to bed… those words.“Jane… I am in love with you.” Yes we have been seeing each other, but love? One word I never saw coming.Kennedy Reilly the only son and heir to the Reilly empire, a multi billionaire with high standards, a man as cold as ice, untouchable and unreadable was what? I love

    Jane's POV He paused. Then immediately he asked.“What are you talking about?” he asked with a confused look“Do you seriously want to act like you don't know what I'm talking about?” I asked him.“Jane, calm down.” he said in a calm tone. “Fine, I'm sorry about your calls I missed and your texts that I did not reply to but yesterday night when I tried to reach you so I can explain someone took your call, a woman.” I said as I tried to steady my voice.“Oh, that…” He burst out into laughter.“It's not funny.” I said as I frowned.“I'm sorry,” he said in between laughter. “That is Sophia, my friend.” “And you expect me to believe that?” I said, raising one of my eyebrows.“Baby, Sophia is my long time friend, we have been friends since childhood until she left for Paris for her masters okay, she came back recently and well…”“Well?” I asked as I was filled with curiosity.“She is the only person that knows about us.” He said as he shrugged his shoulders.“Wait..what? Why would you l

    Jane's POV The air that was in the room was now very heavy, it was filled with things that none of us had to say. Kennedy looked at me as if he was looking for something in my eyes.“Jane, What happened? Why have you been ignoring me? Do you know how worried I am? He said as he was now coming closer.The question was supposed to be gentle, but there was something that was in his voice that sent shivers down my spine. His tone was sounding low and strained as if he was trying to fight something that was inside him.I swallowed hard. “Nothing happened.” I whispered as I was now moving back.“Do not lie to me.” He said as I could see his jaw tightening. “You have been distant lately. You have been avoiding me.”His words, how close he was, everything was pressing on me and making me feel as if I was not able to breathe.“Then maybe you should just stop thinking about me and leave me alone.” I snapped. You don't own me Kennedy.”That did it. His expression just changed immediately and so

    Jane's POV It was morning already but there was no peace in it. I was looking at my ceiling for a long time before I got up. My phone was lying on the nightstand facing down as if it was a reminder of everything that happened yesterday. It was not Jessica's voice. That was what made it worse. Every scenario that I was trying hard not to think about was just coming to my head, each part heavier than the last one.Who was she? Why was she answering Kennedy's phone? Why was she sounding very comfortable and casual?I now tried to push the thoughts away and I now forced myself to leave the bed. My chest was feeling tight as I dressed up and stepped out.Hannah was still sleeping, she curled herself on her bed. Sarah was already awake and getting dressed for work. The apartment was now quiet except for.the sound that came from outside. The mirror was showing a very tired version of me. My eyes were looking very pale and I had dark circles under them. I tied my hair up in a bun as I wa

    Jane's POV Morning was coming in in a soft way from the light curtains. I was barely able to sleep. My mind was restless throughout the night.The faint sound of plates that came from the kitchen told me that my mum was already awake. I sat up in a slow way as I was now rubbing my tires eyes than I looked at my Dad. He was still sleeping, his breathing was shallow but it was steady. I stretched out my hand and held his hand as I was tracing lines on his palm with my thumb in a gentle way.“Just hang in there for me Dad,” I whispered. I am going to make everything right. I promise.”After I had my bath and got dressed, I packed my small bag. When I stepped out, the scent that came from fried eggs and tea filled the house. Lisa was sitting at the dining table as she was scrolling through her phone while Ethan was lazily resting on the frame of the door.“You are up very early,” he muttered. “I was not really able to sleep,” I replied as I forced a smile.Mom now turned from the cooker
