Later that day, Jhonia was helping the maids clean up!
"Jhonia dear, don't you think you should stop and have a few words with me?" Mrs. Pinnock called for her and asked. Jhonia then turned around even though Mrs. Pinnock was smiling she could not hide the displeased look in her eyes."Since I started it, I wanted to finish it. Mrs. Pinnock, it won't happen again." Jhonia said, drying her hands and leaving the maids to finish up on their own. She smiled and walked over to Mrs. Pinnock."At some point, you will have to let me do something. With my parents, we share everything we do, and I don't want to just sit around looking pretty." Jhonia said, explain how and what things was like with her parents before she lose them, she stood in front of Mrs. Pinnock, then she took a deep breath and Mrs. Pinnock looked at Jhonia, she raised her hand to remove the loose hair in her face but she retrieved her hand quickly."Jhonia, I know the life you have had and I also know that your uncle is a bastard." Mrs. Pinnock said, telling what she knows and they both giggled. They then turned and walked towards the living room."Jhonia. Think of shopping as a way of doing something for me, get a new hairstyle and get your hair treated by professionals. Get a facial regardless of your beauty, get your hands and feet done, walk with confidence they say. Haha, choose a car you would like to be... In fact, I think I should do such. You need to live like today is your last day. Get out, know people, know the city it would not hurt, and get used to wearing heels, and not those flat shoes. Okay?" Mrs. Pinnock said as they had seated down together on the sofa. She turned to Jhonia, who was looking at her like she's crazy. She continued to glance at Jhonia regardless, as she explained these things she should be doing and to see it as doing something."Okay, fine, live freely. Do nothing. Meet ladies with the same lifestyle. Talk about... No, that one is not happening." Jhonia said, referring to talking about their husbands' wealth and doings was not going to happen after she agreed on doing nothing and living freely."That's fine, I'm so happy." Mrs. Pinnock said, hugging Jhonia happily forgetting that she shouldn't touch her but she was even more terrified when Jhonia returned the hug."It's something I should get used to... your son said he would be hugging me a lot." Jhonia said, taking a paused and then told her, her voice sounded pleased and Mrs. Pinnock was overjoyed."I'm really happy, now that I have a daughter that I have always wanted. I hope that even if you decide to leave you will always see me as a mother figure to you." Mrs. Pinnock said, telling her how happy she was but Jhonia could hear it in her voice, and suddenly Jhonia hugged her tighter than before."Okay. Mother calling you, when I start. I really hope that's fine, as well as going shopping and facials, etc, with me?" Jhonia said, tell her what she would like, a way of saying she's up for the change, she pulled back from their hug and asked with a smile."Really?" Mrs. Pinnock asked with surprise, she didn't seem to believe what is happening because Jhonia requests were very clear to her, Mrs. Pinnock."Really. We should start with learning how to wear those heels first, also if there's someone I want to visit in a few weeks I hope that's fine with you." Jhonia said, telling she's agreeing to the needs of hers, with a little smile. Mrs. Pinnock pulls her into another hug."You will have to visit my son in his hotel room tonight, both of you will stay there and return here in the morning because he will be at work! Also Jhonia, this marriage is a contract as you know! But I'm not certain my son will see it that way I""It's okay, we will discuss it together. But I have to use your car until you pick mine."Jhonia said, cutting off Mrs. Pinnock. She nodded in approval to Jhonia using her car. After some time Jhonia got ready wearing a pants suit of color deep blue, she decided to let her hair down, she had parted her hair unevenly and placed the lesser hair behind her right ear. Standing in the mirror this side of her reminds Jhonia of her late mother when she's dressed up."If you were here I would have made sure to get into the best school and make you so proud mom, since I couldn't finish school this life has found its way to me. I paid off yours and dads death and I'm going to live a happy life with this new family given to me." Jhonia said, looking into the mirror at herself she spoke to her mother knowing she wasn't. Mrs. Pinnock, who stood outside and overheard everything.. I had similar words for my mother who had passed when I married Nearce's father. Then he disheartens me and hurt me constantly like it was something amusing and I sat by and watched him, hurt me over and over again until the day he found out he was ill. He weakens my heart to him and made me love him only to have him leave for the beyond. I only hope my son Nearce isn't like him, Mrs. Pinnock thinks.She knocked on the door after an intense exhale."Come in." Jhonia said, and she entire the room with a smile."So beautiful, I like it. Are you ready?" Mrs. Pinnock complimented her saying and then asked? Jhonia nodded and picked up her purse and phone. She looked at herself one last time, she smiled and walked over to Mrs. Pinnock."Hmm, thanks for the purse and the phone. I have never had a phone because I could not afford one, now I do. Ah.. Don't worry, I will master it in no time!" Jhonia said, thanking and saying she will get a hang of it, together they took off down the stairs. While Mrs. Pinnock's driver awaits for Jhonia outside, she packs the dishes neatly together, Mrs. Pinnock gives her the address and she walked towards the door after hugging Mrs. Pinnock."I like that after today, I will be able to hug you a lot. I also hope that you would not do the 'maids' work for them, in order for them to keep their job." Mrs. Pinnock said, telling her she will be hugging her and that she should do the maids job because they need it. Jhonia nodded as she was walking away. She opened the door and went out... Mrs. Pinnock, driver quickly rushed over and took the small package bag from her then helped her into the car. After some time driving towards the hotel."He doesn't deserve you, Ms. Jhonia, you are too good for someone like him, you deserve better." Jhonia narrowed her eyebrows looking up from the phone, as the driver said to her, looking back at her from the rearview mirror. Jhonia stared at him with confusion."What's your name?" Jhonia asks? Still, looking at him. He focuses on the road for a moment."My name is Orean, I hope you haven't taken my words to another level of expectation." Orean said his name, then told her hope glancing through the mirror for a moment at her."If my husband doesn't deserve me, do you?" Jhonia said and asked angrily? The driver slows down and stops the car. He then turns into his seat making eye contact with Jhonia."I really hope that you didn't misjudge me trying to tell you to be careful, Ms. Jhonia, your husband can be innocent looking and people who are innocent don't always try to make things the way they should be. I have someone I love, you're beautiful inside out I will admit that. But I can't say the same for your husband." Orean said, explaining to her that he only wishes that she be extra careful of him, innocent looking people aren't innocent. He then turned back into his seat, started the car, and drove off! Jhonia sat confused. She felt he was warning her about her husband, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what he meant.Kyhe was yet to get his question out as it was forgotten about with other things. The following day Jhonia decided to go by the office knowing Kyhe would not be there until noon.“Hi Jhonia-”“We need to talk!”She stared at Josephine, who lost her smile in an instant with Jhonia’s tone of voice.Jhonia made her way to the conference room where she took a seat at the head of the table. The CEO’s seat only Josephine sits there when having a small meeting with her team. Jhonia on the other hand sat there and that was surprising for Josephine.“I have known you for a long time, Josie, but I never expected this. I know you’re so well, so I’m going to ask you to tell me. Yesterday I asked you to come with me to the after party for whoever won the contract. You refused because you had someone to do dirty work, or did you have something else more important to do?”Josephine kept silent because she kne
Nearce was not happy that Sky received the contract, but he was too calm about it in Kaylia's eyes. While to others he is a businessman who accepts that his company was not chosen. Even with a smile on his face he congratulated Kyhe for his hard work and great achievement.He left the building, but he did not leave the location. Time passed and people were leaving. He was notified of the after party at another location. He thought Jhonia would be there and so he decided to go.Later that evening.Jhonia and the girls met up, they were all celebrating how good she is becoming more and more beautiful. She smiles now that she has Kyhe in her life.“That reminds me, I haven’t seen Kuwain in a while. It’s like he disappears.” Jhonia spoke of Kuwain for she hadn’t seen him and that she never asked to know why.“That’s because he is being the CEO of High View. Apparently, Mr. Knight had him brought in disguise for his cousi
Hours later.Alshane had taken the seat between Nearce and Kyhe, to signify he would be the one handling the contract. Mrs. Maniak didn’t want to show herself just yet for it would upset Jhonia.She would not want to see Kyhe walk away from what she would be asking of him, so it would be best to lay low until the public side of the contracts were signed by both parties.“Why is it like this thought?” Kaylia asked, referring to Nearce, but his eyes were stuck on Jhonia the whole time he heard not a word Kaylia spoke out.Jhonia, who was walking around and doing the necessary things needed on their hand, she was now finished with and began looking for Kyhe who should be seated but was not there.“Looking for me, my love?” His words startled her, she twirls around into his arms.“Please, be careful and be sure not to hurt yourself. I have finished with the other stuff. So, can now come and take your seat next to me where
The day off the contract signing decision. The place of the event was already picked and announced.It was like a celebrity came tethering with all the news teams and cameras about.Jhonia hesitated to leave Kyhe’s car after seeing the cameras etc. At that moment, Kyhe held her hand with a gentle squeeze. She glances up at him and returns the smile.“I know you’re a bit, because of the cameras but I’m sure it’s fine, trust me.” He said to her with surety that she wouldn’t have to panic or anything of the sort. She sighed softly and proceeded to exit the car.She went towards the entrance of the building with Kyhe a few steps behind. While on his phone he bumped into her and came to notice she was staring instead of continuing towards the building.“What is the matter?” He asked her.“Are you alright?” he asked with concern.“Jhoni-”“I knew it. But for sure I t
“Ugh. I thought it would never stop.” She groaned then said looking down at him.Kyhe glanced up at her. Jhonia wears a brown leather skirt above her knees. A split exposing her thigh, a black top barely hiding her breath. He was drooling over her but seeing her like this made him feel like she has two personalities.“How could you?” he yelled, asking her with a serious face.Jhonia walked closer to him with a smile. Her light touch of make-up makes her face sparkle. His nose was bleeding again.“Not again Kyhe. If you can handle me naked, you-”“So, it was you.” Azerjie said, cutting her off.“Huh?” Kyhe asked in surprise, looking at Azerjie.“I asked her if she was the one making you all glowy happy, but she pretended like it wasn’t her. And it’s not like he can’t handle you naked. It’s because you look different, sex appealing, and he can’t touch beca
“I thought you said revenge wasn’t your thing.” Josephine said to Jhonia, who looked up at her at that instance.“It’s not. At least not for me. Josephine, my friends are now involved. Nearce is going out of his way to make sure their husbands fall. These girls already had a hard life while others are having it easy-”“You too had a hard life Jhonia. You almost died. But how many time does someone need to go at you or how many hurt do you have to go through-”“That’s enough. I expected better from you Josephine. Are you not her friend too? Would you rather she watches you get hurt and fallen apart than help you?”Kyhe intervened between them as he realized what Josephine was doing. Even after Jhonia telling her that she is willing to be revengeful for Nearce is doing this to hurt her by hurting her friends.Jhonia's attention turned to Kyhe when he asked his question. And in that moment, she r
