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

  • 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

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 82- The Breaking Point

    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

  • MY NEW HR IS THE MAN I SLEPT WITH.   Chapter 80- The Call I Should Not Have Made

    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

    Jane's POV For some seconds I was not able to move, I was just standing in the living room as I was taken by surprise.Liam?” I said as I now breathed out as I was not even sure if I was right.He smirked as his lips now curved… it looked really mature as it was framed from the memories of years of growing up. Same eyes like back then. “Hi, Jane.”The surprise that I was feeling now turned into a soft laugh. “Oh my God, Liam… I can not believe it. What are you doing here?He chuckled as he started rubbing the back of his neck. “Can I come inside first or should I have to explain myself from here?”“Oh of course,” I quickly said as I was now stepping to the side to allow him to come inside. Sorry, I was just not expecting to see you. I mean… It has been years.” He walked inside as his steps were giving confidence. His eyes were now scanning the small living room as if he was seeing it for the first time. The light that was coming from the afternoon entered inside from the curtains as
