JODY.
My house suddenly felt empty today.
I sat in my sitting room, watching a new Korean drama series that I was looking forward to but I couldn’t get into it. My eyes kept going to my kitchen and imagining Marcus there making pasta. He looked perfect that day in my red apron, and the food he made was just as perfect. I thought he was going to spend the night with me that day but he couldn’t because of the threatening text he got. It gave me the chills and I can’t help being scared for him even though he kept telling me it meant nothing. The last time I called, he sounded so busy and I couldn’t even ask him when he was going to come here or if he had the plans to.A loud knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. Must be Marcus, I thought as I rushed to put on my robe and slippers. I have missed him too much to make him pissed as soon as he get here. I checked the mirror one more time to seeRelated chapters

GRACE.I prepared my child for school the next day like a robot.My mind was on the verge of exploding. Left for me, I would begin home schooling for Laurel but this was actually the time in her life she needed to learn the basics of socializing with people. After listening to Connor’s reason for trying to stop me from leaving, an unknown fear for my child and Connor started growing on me. Everyone around him and even him was in danger. It wasn’t a joke as I had thought. Because of how things went between us, I had completely forgotten the incident that brought us back together.The assault.And if I hadn’t been at the scene that day, he would have probably died and so would his driver. An assault so horrific, he refused to go to the hospital to get treated.All because of a piece of land and a grudge.And all those times, I believed he was simply avoiding the press and how much damage

I got up immediately and followed her to her office. I felt speechless. Although I didn’t expect her to act like Michelle but I didn’t see the act of her standing up for me coming. Not only that, she sent Michelle on an unpaid leave because of me.“I’m sorry on behalf of everyone here, Grace,” she started in her regular stern tone as soon as we got into her office, “However, I believe you should take a break. I’m not sending you on an unpaid leave, I’m just telling you to go and have some time for yourself and think properly if you really want to continue working here.”“Ma’am, I love my job, I love working here. I really don’t have to think about it.” I interjected even though I knew she was right.“I know you do, Grace,” she stood behind her desk looking down at me, “But you don’t seem to get my point here. This isn’t about you anymore, Direc

JODYI sat at the reserved dining with Marcus waiting for my so-called blind date, all the while praying fervently in my heart that it isn’t one of my exes.Not to exaggerate, I’m sure I’ve dated half of the men in London. I didn’t want to think about how Marcus would react if it was one of my exes. And to be honest, I was always the one who left, the one who broke their hearts. After the epic heart break I had in high school, I turned into the one who did the heart breaks, although I never did most intentionally.Some guys were just too overbearing. Some of them were with me because of my parent’s influence, some hated my love for Korean dramas and me fan-girling Kpop idols, while some were so keen on getting married whereas I wasn’t one bit ready.Somehow, Marcus haven’t showed any sign of having one of the traits I mentioned, and sincerely, I hoped he wouldn’t. I wanted this

JODYMarcus volunteered to drive so I handed him my car keys and sat on the passenger’s seat.His car was back at my apartment as I drove us to the date with my own car. We drove to my house in a silence he obviously wasn’t comfortable with as his eyes kept darting from the road to stare at me.“Jody, is something wrong?” he asked peering into my face before turning to face his steering.“We need to talk,” I retorted.“Alright, go ahead.”“I will when we get home.”“Tell me now, babe,” he pleaded giving me the puppy eyes. “How can I concentrate when you’re looking like that? Tell me already!” I was getting angrier already as it stands, so I’ll just go ahead and tell him here.“Fine.” I said. “What are we right now, Marcus? I need you to tell me.”“What are we how?” he ask

GRACE.Jody was a total mess.Seeing her like this broke my heart and I really crave to do something no one can imagine to the person responsible for her being this way.NK and I sat beside her in her sitting room trying to console her and talk some sense into her as well. We seriously couldn’t understand the situation even though we were trying so hard to.They only dated or better put, saw each other for a month and at some point I even thought they weren’t serious anymore till I saw them together at that blind date.I mean, my friend have never been this broken by any man before. Its Jody, the spunky, spontaneous and you-only-live-once Jody!The person with black eye bags, messy and unkempt hair sitting on the love seat by the fire side was just like a shadow or a demon possessing our friend.But all these simply meant she really did love him because the last time she was this way with someone was back in hi

JODYIt was time to get back up, despite how much my heart was hurting, I decided with resolution as I dressed up, and grabbed my car key and my purse.I was going to a grocery shop to get groceries even though my kitchen cabinet was still quiet full of food items.I just need to do something I really hate, it was the only way to get my back into function, to think for myself and if possible get rid of my heart ache.Doing things I hated helped me face reality, and at this point, facing reality was what I needed most. It was over a week and I was still mourning the breakup of someone I dated for only a month, someone who must have even moved on to someone else, maybe someone whose heart he would break after a month. It wasn’t even a real date, we were simply testing and he realized he had had enough and wasn’t interested in me enough.No hard feelings, Marcus Grant, I get it.I hopped into my car, thinking of a way

JODYHe was taking me to his house.His house was situated in one of the grandest neighborhoods in London. It was a spacious house that looked like a box from the outside.Marcus stopped in front, came down to open the door for me. I didn’t know what to feel, and even though I could feel anything right now, anger was not one of them. Let’s just listen to whatever he has to say, I said to myself, summoning the spirit of patience in me out.He ushered me into an ostentatious sitting room and I was just too speechless. The house was built with glasses, white cushions, white table, white curtains and even the tiles were white. It was a white themed house and it was breathtaking.“You can’t believe I’m living in a house like this right?” he asked walking inside and taking off his winter jacket. “Well, I’m not just an assistant of Connor Shelby, I’m his Beta and even though werewolves are now indi

He said he wanted to give his child the best first flying experience.However there was something awkward about him. I know we were going to meet his control freak mother who didn’t like me but I believe I should be the tensed or anxious one here. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and turn down his offer of going to see his mother.After all, she called her own grandchild an illegitimate.Connor shifted on his seat, checking to see once again if Laurel’s seat strap was secure.
