“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
When Elisa came out, Ben was waiting for her inside the car.Elisa opened the front passenger seat and sat inside.“Did you find out something?” Elisa asked Ben as she didn’t get time to talk with Edwin.These days were taking a toll on Edwin’s mind. Even though he was looking strong and trying too much to handle this mess, Elisa was afraid it would harm his health, too.She didn’t know how to help him, but she was trying her best.“We went to meet Rebecca,” Ben replied tiredly.“She must have given you a tough time.” Elisa knew Rebecca’s nature.She wasn’t innocent and gentle like Janet and how close and protective she was toward Janet, she would never give up willingly.“Yeah,” Ben sighed.She was pushing on Edwin’s button. If only she hadn’t been close to Janet, Edwin would have shown her where she belonged.He was only to
When Edwin sat in the car Ben handed him the papers.“I got her address. The place where Janet met her wasn’t her usual practice spot. They met her in a secluded space, that’s why it took me to find out.” Ben said while handing him the file.“I knew something fishy was going on.” Edwin took the file.“Made an appointment with her. I want to meet her ASAP.” Edwin said and Ben nodded.“I have already made one. It’s in the afternoon.” Ben said, and Edwin nodded.“But…” Ben didn’t know whether he should inform it to Edwin.“What?” Edwin looked up from the file and looked at Ben.“She is a Gynac,” Ben said, and a frown formed on Edwin’s face. Why would she need a Gynac if she was having a stomach problem?“Let’s meet her first.” Edwin slowly closed the file.He didn’t want to think anything before he had proof, but he couldn’t understand why she would see a Gynac unless she… Edwin was bus
“Edwin, calm down, we can talk this out,” Elisa knew Edwin must be fuming with anger, but his presence was only scaring Janet.“Don’t,” Edwin raised his hand as he wasn’t ready to deal with her now. He wanted Janet's answer and wasn’t ready to back off today. What Elisa expecting from him didn’t matter.“Tell me, Janet. Why you wanted to hide it?” Edwin walked inside toward Janet and Janet moved back, but fell on the bed and supported herself by her elbow.Edwin walked in front of her and was standing like a grim reaper who was fuming with anger.Janet not in her distant dream wanted Edwin to know and now when he was aware she didn’t know how to explain.“Why?” Edwin yelled and threw the file over her.Janet held the file like her life depended on it. In reality, it did.It was the file that wrote her fate.“Edwin, I…” Janet didn’t know how to explain.“What, Janet? What reason could you have to hide his child from his father?” Edwin asked.“I had the same right to know as much you. I
Edwin drove away from his house only to end up in Thunder.He needed a drink to numb himself.He was too overwhelmed by his emotions and wanted to forget all this.Her betrayal hurt a lot, but what hurt him most was her accusation.He failed as a partner.He couldn’t give her that comfort, that security she deserved.Maybe that’s why she wanted to leave him. Why would someone stay with a useless person like him?Edwin blamed himself, too.He walked into his private room and ordered alcohol.“Bring the strongest one you have,” Edwin said to the manager, as he wanted to numb his brain with alcohol.Jordan who was in the thunder got to know about Edwin’s arrival.Jordan was here to check accounts as he took care of it because Edwin was too busy to check it every month.Jordan was responsible for its management.“Edwin,” When Jordan entered, Edwin had already finished a few bottles, and he was opening the next one.“What happened bro?” Jordan snatched the bottle away and Edwin frowned.“I
Janet woke up and found Elisa beside her instead of Edwin.Every night, Edwin would return home and sleep beside her when she used to sleep early and Janet was getting used to waking up in his arms.But finding Elisa instead of him stirred something in Janet’s mind.Was it fear of losing Edwin again?She was still sleeping, and if she was still here Edwin didn’t return last night.Where did he spend his night?Janet was worried, but couldn’t find the courage to ask Elisa or call Edwin.She walked outside to check, thinking he must be spending his night in his study.He must be unwilling to see her after last night's revelation, but when she found it empty, she was disappointed.In all these months, Janet had noticed Edwin had never spent his night outside.Even if he had to stay late outside, he would surely come home.Was he this much disturbed that he spent his night outside?Janet felt guilty and sad for him, but then there was another thought that made her jealous.If he was spendi
Edwin was distracted all over the meeting.Jordan’s words were ringing in his mind. The thoughts of sorting this matter were keeping him busy.Jordan’s words were an eye-opener. Wasn’t that Janet always wanted from the beginning?A stable life with a loyal partner? Who would want to give their child an unstable life?Edwin himself wouldn’t want a life like this for his child.He wanted to officiate their relationship for a while, but now it had become urgent.It was the need of the moment and he should think seriously about this matter.“Mr. Wilson. What do you think about this?” Edwin looked at the people sitting in front of him when his client spoke out.Edwin was zoned out and didn’t hear what they were talking about.He looked at Ben who understood the situation.“Mr. Garett. We will think about it and send you the revised contract.” Ben said, and the client smiled.“It would be OK,” the client said, standing up to shake hands.Edwin stood up too and they shook their hand and Ben
Edwin returned to his office after a while and sat in his chair tiredly.He was exhausted mentally.His door opened and when he looked up to see who entered without his permission, he was surprised to see it was Janet.“Good morning,” Janet said timidly, but he didn’t reply as he couldn’t believe his eyes.First, he had kept her inside his house under guard; secondly; she avoided him after Edwin forcefully brought her back.So why would she be here?“Are... you avoiding me?” Janet asked when Edwin didn’t reply.“Huh…what are you doing here?” Edwin came out of his daze and replied curiously.“I wanted to talk,” Janet said nervously.Edwin didn’t know why she was there or what she wanted to talk about.But he decided to listen before he could sort out his point of view.“Come,” Edwin got up and walked toward her.He took her hand and gently made her sit on the couch. He was being too gentle like she would break if he touched her strongly.“Did you have your breakfast?” Edwin asked and p
“What?” Janet turned around and asked confusedly. She thought she must have misheard.Edwin walked toward her and stood in front of her. He held her hand and looked at her.“Let’s get married,” Edwin said, determined. Janet pulled her hand away anxiously.“You are talking rubbish. You will regret your decision later.” Janet didn’t want him to take this decision impulsively.It wasn’t a joke and even if it was, this was a horrible one.“I won’t. I have thought about this and I think this is the best decision.” Edwin said, and Janet didn’t understand why he was looking so determined.She couldn’t believe it.Only if she would have known him.Edwin wasn’t someone who would decide impulsively.He was thinking about this matter and after talking with her it was the outcome he came into.They love each other and want to stay together.Then why should they hesitate?This would not only solve this matter of their relationship it would secure the future of their child.He would disagree if the
