A week has passed since Tracy came to the office to tell me she is pregnant with my boyfriend's baby. I am on my way to pick up Jason from the airport. Andrew is driving while I sit at the back. Jason's plane should be landing in a few minutes. I am happy he is back. I missed him terribly. I am worried about what will happen when he runs a DNA test on the baby in Tracy's womb. I am praying that the baby in Tracy's belly does not belong to him.
I step out of the car and stand at the end of the stairway of Jason's private plane. As he descends the stairway, the smile on his face is the same one I got the moment my eyes saw him. He walks towards me and pulls me into a hug. He spins me around and showers my face with kisses.
"Jason, stop spinning me," I say, giggling, feeling a little light-headed from the spinning. He drops me back on the ground and captures my lips in a passionate kiss. I kiss him back with the same intensity as he is kissing me. I have missed kissing
"Oh, Eleanor, you are back? This is my girlfriend Vivienne, the one I told you about. I hope you don't mind her joining us for dinner.""What did you just call her?""My girlfriend""You must be joking," I say, finding his words too unbelievable to accept. There is no way Vivienne is dating Uncle Jack. My precious Uncle, dating Vivienne, I forbid it. Even though her behavior towards me at the office has changed. I still know the type of woman she is, and I would never allow Uncle Jack to be with someone like her."Why would I be joking?""Because she is the same woman I work with.""That's not possible; my Vivienne is nothing like that woman you work with.""Your Vivienne, somebody, please wake me up. I think I am having the worst nightmare of my life. Jason got someone pregnant, and now this. Are you kidding me, God" I say, feeling frustrated with everything happening today."Jason got someone pregnant," Vivienne says, surpris
I hold Tracy's hand as the ambulance drives us to the hospital. I told them I was her sister so they could let me ride with them. I have not released her hand since they put her in the ambulance. I have been holding it while saying prayers for her survival.We arrive at the hospital as quickly as possible. I walk to the waiting room as they wheel her in for surgery. I find the closest bathroom and wash my hands. My clothes are soaked in her blood. I will change later; right now, I need to call Jason. I pull out my phone from my purse and try to dial Jason's number. I don't even know how I am going to break this news to him. This is just too sad to tell him. I can still remember what he said about the baby last night. Oh my God, Jason is going to be crushed if something happens to the baby. I wipe away my tears and dial his number."Hi sweetheart, I was just about to call you. I will be running a little late to work today. Move my morning appointments; I won't be able t
Jason and I walk inside the room. Once my eyes set on Tracy, my heart aches for her. I don’t even care that she lied to my boyfriend about being pregnant. Her whole body is covered in bandages. I see Jason moving forward to wake her up, but I grab his hand to stop him. I shake my head, telling him no. Tracy might have done a horrible thing by deceiving him, but I don’t think right now is the best time to confront her. I don’t even want to imagine Jason’s wrath upon her when he starts questioning her. I pull him and walk back outside.“Why did you stop me from waking her up?” Jason asks once we are outside Tracy’s room“She barely survived the accident. I don’t think we should ask her until she is doing fine.”“Why?”“Her physical health is not great right now, and I know how you can be when you are angry. You might not lay a finger on her, but you can input enough fear to make h
“Oh my God, why aren’t you dressed yet?” Jason asks as he walks into the kitchen. He just came out of his study.“Asks the man who just stepped out of his study,” I say, cleaning my hands on the kitchen napkin. I am making dinner. Jason invited his grandmother over for dinner at his place. Tracy is going to be serving us. He is using this dinner to find out if his grandmother is genuinely the one behind it.“It does not take time for men to get ready.”“I am almost done here. Once I am through, I will get ready.”“This is why I didn’t want you to cook tonight. I could have just asked Jessica to work today,” Jason says, walking over to me by the stove.“Today is her grandson’s birthday. There is no need to make her miss such a special occasion when I know how to cook.”“I should have hired a private chef for tonight,” Jason says, wrapping his
I walk inside my office building with a smile on my face. These days I come to work with a smile on my face. It’s been a week or two since Tracy’s incident. Things have been great between Jason and me. His grandmother is laying low these days. She has not tried anything new to split us up. I know Jason does not believe it’s her, but I do. I can’t prove it that’s why I am not forcing Jason to agree to it. One day I will be able to prove it.I step out of the elevator and walk to my desk. I drop my purse on the table and walk to Jason’s office to hand him his coffee. I don’t make coffee for him at the office anymore. I get him coffee from the café close by. The one I mentioned makes one of the best coffees I have had. I knock on his office door and wait for him to say come in.“Good morning Eleanor,” Vivienne says, walking past me.“Morni….” I don’t get to finish speaking b
The following days go by in a blurb. I am preparing hard for Jason and I's trip to Bora Bora next weekend. We leave in a week. I can't wait for next week's weekend to get here. I am so happy I am going to Bora Bora next week. It's like a dream come true.I get cut off from my daydreaming when I hear Vivienne calling my name. I can't believe I got lost dreaming about the beautiful things we will get to do in Bora Bora."Sorry, did you say something?" I ask Vivienne."Yes, I did. I asked you if you are free to go to lunch together.""Why are you asking?""I want to talk to you. I thought it would be nice over lunch.""What would you like to talk about? I hope it's not about my Uncle because as I said last time. I am not helping you ask him for forgiveness.""I remember what you said. I want to speak to you about something else.""Oh, I usually eat lunch with Jason, but I am sure he won't mind if I don't join him today. What
I step inside the house, and the first thing I do is lie down on the couch. I am so tired I can't even wait to take off my work clothes before lying down. I just got back from work. It's a few days left before my trip with Jason."Hello dear," Uncle Jack says, walking into the living room"Hi,""You seem exhausted.""I am; work has been hectic this week""Why""Jason and I's trip is this weekend. We are trying to wrap up all his important businesses before we leave.""Oh, that's true." Uncle Jack says,"Yeah, how was work today?" I ask, sitting up."The same; nothing new happened.""Any plans for tonight," I ask, removing my heels."No," He says, staring at the TV. I don't know why but I feel a little guilty for why he does not have plans tonight."Uncle Jack," I say, to get his attention away from the TV"Yes, dear," He says, turning away from the TV to face me"Do you like Vivienne?"
The following day, I woke up early and left the house to go to the salon. I need to look perfect for tonight. This is my first time going to an event with Jason as his girlfriend. I wonder what his associates I met before we started dating would think when they hear we are dating. I know a lot of people are going to misjudge the reason I am with Jason, but I won’t let it bother me. I shake my head to drive away those negative thoughts. Jason knows my feelings for him are true, and that’s all that matters. What people think does not matter.I spend my morning getting my nails done and washing my hair. I will have it styled an hour or two before the event. Amber and I are walking to the food court at the mall where the salon is. We came to the salon together. We just finished.“Have you thought about if you are going to do it with Jason while you guys will be in Bora Bora?” Amber asks as we pass a Victoria secret store. The lingerie must have remi
