Janet woke up in Edwin’s arms.It was still late at night around 4 am, but she needed to leave before Edwin woke up.She promised Rim to meet her before leaving, too.She noticed the person sleeping beside her peacefully.She wanted to make yesterday’s night special, it would be the last memory left behind to each other.Maybe Edwin would hate her after today, but she was making it easy for both of them.Janet would start a new life away from the shadow of her past with her baby, while Edwin could marry Chesley and settle in his life.She didn’t want to be stuck in the tug and war between them.She would rather take her broken heart and leave from here.She slowly removed his hand from her waist and placed a peck on his lips.“I have loved you, Edwin. With all my heart. You have been my first man, my first love. You will always remain in my heart. But we can’t stay together,” Janet said in a whisper-like tone.Edwin was sleeping so peacefully that Janet wanted to kiss him again.She sl
Edwin was sleeping peacefully.Last night was the best night of his life.This was the first time Janet made an effort toward their relationship, and Edwin felt so hopeful.They slept in each other’s arms after their love-making session.Only if he would know this was not beginning but a farewell from Janet.The constant ringing of his phone made him wake up, and he took the phone from his bedside table without opening his eyes.They slept late, and Edwin wasn’t in the mood for an early morning phone call.“It should be important if you are disturbing my sleep so early,” Edwin grumbled on his phone without checking the caller ID.“Oh, it is… because your Birdy would fly away while you are lost in your Lala land.” Elisa’s irritated voice came from the call and Edwin’s sleep ran away instantly.“What nonsense you are talking about?” Edwin sat up, forgetting his sleep, and looked around to find his room empty.It was 7 in the morning and he would think Janet must woke up to prepare their
“Hey, sir. Where are you entering?” Janet was closing her eyes, thinking it would take time when she heard the frantic voice of the flight attendant.Janet noticed a few people who looked like security had entered the flight.“What’s happening?” Stella said worriedly and Janet was also feeling scared.She had heard news of flight hijacks and wasn’t expecting to experience one on her first flight.“Sir, she is here, economy class seat xyzzy,” Janet heard him say and Janet noticed it was her seat number.“What do you want?” Janet asked scared and tried to get up but the man didn’t let her.“Don’t move mam,” the man said authoritatively and Janet stayed rooted in her place.She noticed people were making their way from someone and she didn’t expect her biggest nightmare was walking toward her.“How?” Janet said gasping to herself.Edwin was walking toward her with his morning hair look. She looked frantically to find any exit, but she was surrounded by the people clothed in black and it
Edwin was pulling Janet upstairs and Neither Janet could match his pace nor Edwin was letting her go making her feel pain.“Edwin, you are hurting me,” Janet complained and Edwin turned around only picking her up, and hurriedly walked toward his room.Noticing the house, Janet was feeling terrible.His house was still like she left behind. The burned candles and rose petals were scattered all around.He must have run to catch her the moment he woke up.“Put me down. Where are you taking me?” Janet struggled, but Edwin didn’t drop her. Instead, he took large strides and walked toward his room.“Edwin,” Janet was struggling but Edwin entering his room dropped her in the bed, making her bounce.Janet tried to get up and leave, but Edwin looked at the door and blocked her.He pushed her, making her fall on the bed.When she tried to move, he pulled out a handcuff from his pocket and bound her hand to the bed.Janet tried to open it, but how it was possible?“Edwin,” Janet yelled frustrate
Janet was sitting inside the room worriedly.It’s been two days since she has been caged in this room by Edwin.He was coming here occasionally and taking care of her meals.He had already delivered her luggage the same day, and that’s how Janet could take her medicine.After taking them, she hid the medicine as she was trying to hide her condition from Edwin.He was already angry with her. She could understand it from his silent treatment, and she didn’t want to cause more trouble for her.Elisa came the day when Edwin brought her back here, but both were giving each other silent treatment.Janet understood her anger, but she didn’t have any explanation to give her, too. It was her life and she couldn’t take a risk while thinking about their friendship. Moreover, it was her child she was worried about.With her failed attempt, many problems had arisen.Rim must be sick and worried as Janet couldn’t call her. Edwin had confiscated her phone, and she dared not ask for it.Janet tried to
Elisa walked toward Janet’s room, opened the door, and noticed Janet was looking at the door like a scaredy cat. Maybe she was expecting Edwin would come to punish her for her audacious move.Noticing it was Elisa, her face calmed down with relief.“Don’t worry, Edwin don’t have all day to waste over you,” Elisa said mockingly and Janet frowned.What did she mean by waste?“Did I trouble your brother too much?” Janet asked offended.“Didn’t you?” Elisa asked back, raising her brow and Janet exhaled.“Why he is caging me then? I was leaving silently. If he would have let me go, he wouldn’t have to waste his time.” Janet argued and Elisa had no mood to argue with her. She was still so adamant about leaving Edwin after all he had done for her.She was already angry with her because of her stunt, she would only spout venom if she opened her mouth. But she didn’t want to stay silent too.“If only you have tried to understand him!” Elisa sighed and Janet was irritated at how Elisa was defen
Edwin was finally finished with his work when he got a call from Elisa.He was so packed with his work today that he couldn’t even breathe.He returned to the office after two days, this much work was expected.Even now he just finished a meeting with his executive regarding their new project.“Did you get something?” Edwin was hopeful Elisa would at least get a clue.“No, she was so guarded. I am sure the reason is something else, Edwin. You need to hurry and find out. You can’t keep her caged all your life.” Elisa was frustrated.She tried again and again to find even a single clue.But Janet was too determined to talk.“I will visit Rebecca’s house today. I hope I will find some clue there.” Edwin said while exhaling.He was too tired, but he couldn’t waste any more time.It’s been two days already.His work was piling up, and he couldn’t lock Janet like this anymore.But he was scared she would pull a stunt again like morning if he gave her freedom back.He didn’t know how to hand
“Aren’t you responsible? Otherwise, why does Janet need to run away?” Rebecca was so angry that she lost control.“If you would have taken responsibility Janet wouldn’t have to take this step,” Rebecca spoke out. She was already disgusted with him and now when he was pushing her button she couldn’t stop herself.Every word of hers was out of Edwin’s understanding.What responsibility she was talking about?He was keeping Janet protected even from his family, what other responsibility he should have taken?“Doctor had told her to stay calm and happy and here she was worrying about her future and her ba….” Rebecca was talking but when she looked at Edwin’s face she placed a palm in her mouth.She realized what rubbish she was spouting.Edwin didn’t know about the baby, and Janet wanted to keep it like this.If she had spoken out, Janet would have never forgiven her.“What you were talking about?” Edwin noticed her changed
