Jane's p.o.v

Agitated that I couldn't find Hailey, I hop back into my car and drove back home. "Damn it! That bitch is really one lucky whore."

I pulled over into the port of my house and I disembarked, stomping into the house with my heels clicking on the tiled floor. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the figure standing right infront of me, but backing me. He seem to be on call with someone.

Ethan?

He turned back slowly, disconnecting the call and staring at me. "Jane, are you alright?"

I almost stop living the moment his eyes shuffled between the pistol in my hand and face and I knew better than not to comport myself right away. "Ye...Yes. Sure," I rolled my eyes, acting all tired. "Just tired that's all."

"Tired?" he repeated. "And is that a real gun in your hand, Jane?"

"Yeah. Had an impromptu shooting this morning after you left. My agent called and I just knew I had no choice," I said, smiling through the lies. "Was told to keep this since we will be continuing with the s

  • Rebirth of the naive maid   Chapter 77

    Freya's p.o.vThe court room was as quiet as a grave yard that the only thing speaking was the clock on the wall. Damian, Martha and both familiar and unfamiliar faces were seated at the pews in the court. Juliana had been put to bed and couldn't attend the hearing.Ethan and I were there, standing next to each other at the bar with a reasonable amount of distance apart as the proceedings began. Junior was also standing at a bar farther apart but closer to the judge."You may proceed, Attorney Luke," The judge gave his go-ahead.Ethan's Lawyer, Attorney Luke began his speech. "Your honor, my client here has been caught up in a mess so deep that it cost him access to his son by Mrs. Smith, who is the mother of the child. Mrs. Smith believes Mr. Slade has no right whatsoever over his child for a reason he has absolutely no knowledge of.""That's a lie your honor," my Attorney, Harry, refuted. "My client had only made that claim because Mr. Slade had rejected his own son even before he

    Martha's p.o.v"What?" I muttered in shock, my eyes blinking at the thought as I stuttered. "How— How did you know about Fabian and I?""Well, am I any wrong?"The silence that followed Jane's claim only made my throat bobb in anxiousness. It's not like Fabian and I being together again is a crime. But it will raise questions about Edmond's death and that would be such a great disaster for me— for my plan— my future.It's just too soon.I composed myself, leaving no room for suspicion. "You are right. And no, Edmond and Fabian weren't enemies. It was just some misunderstanding in the past." A facade smile encroached my face.I know Jane must have heard about Fabian from her father some how who was also an acquaintance to Fabian. Truly, Fabian and Edmond used to be close but a misunderstanding had happened between them. It was a long time ago even before I got married to Edmond."Oh, I see.""We should look forward to getting both Ethan and you back together. That is the present and t

    Martha's p.o.vThe machines beeped and hummed softly as the silence broke, the smell of formaldehyde wafting through the hospital air. Jane sat up in her bed, her munch stopping, and her eyes, fixed on the door as I swung it opened.Ethan had abandoned her despite her treatment and the only visitation by any of his relatives is by me. She had been inquisitive and curios about him and all that he had been up to ever since the divorce. Although unaware of this particular visit, she has no idea what this conversation is all about or what is about to unfold.Jane's eyes met mine at the door and her expression was a mix of sheer disbelief and curiosity. An expression that couldn't help but cause her head to cock towards my direction."Hello, Jane," I said with a grin, my voice soft and gentle. "I hope I'm not disturbing or interrupting your meal?" I queried as I came forth, closing the ward's door, and she pushed aside her meal aside on the bed tray. "And how's the treatment going?""No,

    Freya's p.o.vHow dare he?How dare he try to pull this game at me after everything he had done. He made a mockery of me and now, he wants custody of my child?My own child?The court had sent a notice and a summon will be heard. I had been told to be present and the date for the proceedings shall be in just two weeks time.I will.But not without spiting on that pathetic human's face for being a coward.Bang. Bang.I banged on his office door as his secretary scurried behind me, preventing me from gaining entrance.I tinkered the door opened and on his seat was himself holding a cup of coffee and sipping slowly on it.Unbothered."Leave us alone, Ashley," he ordered his secretary and she slammed the door behind her.I dropped the bag of cash I was holding, slamming it against his office desk. "What is this?" he asked calmly as he continued to savor on his coffee."That is enough money to help revive your empire if you wish to care," I sneered at him. "Leave my son out of this, Ethan

    Freya's p.o.v"Yes, I did, Freya."I scoffed in disbelief. Of course it has to be her. Who else could? But I couldn't believe she'd betray my trust like that. "Listen, Freya. I don't know but I strongly believe Ethan never wrote those letters. Neither did he send them. There's clearly a misunderstanding somewhere and I could tell from his eyes. From his expression."A scoff broke out from me once again. I can't believe Ethan had successfully meandered his lies into Juliana's mind and had made her fall for it.He is lying.He is a damn, chronic and pathetic liar who would do anything to have his company back even if it meant destroying my marriage with Damian just because we have a son together!He might have gotten to Juliana but that game ends with me.He was really lucky I had to plea with Damian to let him go that night for intruding into private property in the first place.And yes, I had called the cops on him. I never knew his son and Junior attend the same school and even in

    Ethan's p.o.v"Oh, my God. What happened to you?" Martha eyes expanded in shock as her gaze fell on me in the cell. The bruise on my face could barely have nothing on me.She seemed really concerned and I only felt my jaw clench in response at the sight of them together. And with him kissing her on the lips.How dare he put me in this mess and still have the nerves to peck her on the lips right in front of me! Damian and I had been detained by the police with our cell standing right in front of each other. Although, we have both been granted bail, but I still couldn't believe Freya would stand in front of everyone and tell them that I was indeed an intruder.How?!She clearly wouldn't want to have a talk with me concerning my own child and would even go extra mile in having me arrested for getting close to him.The warden came to unlock Damian's cell first, and I glared as he and Freya left and vanished into thin air."Ethan, are you OK?" Martha asked me after the warden set me free.
