All Chapters of His Priceless Jewel. : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

JEWEL'S  POV"I want to resign." I stated matter-of-factly, slamming my resignation letter on Henry's desk. He looked up from the folded envelope to my face and back to the folded envelope, utter confusion written all over his face while I maintained a straight face.I had made do with the thought I had in mind. Putting my resignation letter together wasn't so difficult and I didn't tell anyone about it. I just wanted Henry to be out of my head once and for all. I was fine before he came into my life again. I wasn't going to let him affect me.Now you are sounding like he purposely came into your life. My subconscious mocked me."Why?" Was his simple question. Even thought his voice was calm, I could easily sense the other tone of worry and concern. That almost melted my resolve.Almost."I don't think I can walk here anymore. I'm not comfortable w

JEWEL'S POVWe were able to get Sharon to the hospital before more complications arose. I didn't get myself through out the ride to the hospital. The guilt I was feeling knew no bounds. I almost killed Henry's daughter all because I was trying to impress the girl. I should have trusted my instincts when I wanted to ask Henry for permission about buying the Ice cream.Henrietta had sensed my aloofness through out the ride to the hospital and kept trying to pacify me and tell me that everything would be okay, that things were not that bad. But I knew that she was only trying diffuse the situation. Anything that made Henry yell at me that way was very serious.Of course it was serious, I nearly killed his daughter.Since we got to the hospital and Sharon had been taking into the theatre, Henry had not said anything to either O or Henrietta. He has been pacing the hall way repeatedly, going toward

JEWEL'S POVIt was Saturday. Not just any other Saturday, it was the third Saturday of the month. A very important Saturday in my family. Why, you may want to ask? Don't worry, I'll tell you exactly why.The third Saturday of every month is the day all of us will come together as a family to have a luncheon at my parent's house. Everyone was invited and by everyone I mean Tayo and Pearl's husband, Kelvin and her children.I was still wary about the things happening with Pearl. I didn't confront her about seeing Kelvin at the mall even though I had caught her several times on phone calls with Kelvin and she was yelling at him over the phone about not coming home till she wants to. I only asked her to tell me again when she said Kelvin would be back but that didn't really turn out well because she snapped at me and chided me for asking so many questions. I quickly

JEWEL'S POV I was at Tayo's condo, inside his room and lying on his bed. He had gone out to have a phone call with his Dad so I was left in the room in the pool of my own thoughts with the subject of my thoughts as Henry.He had surprised me that day. After he had finished dressing my injury, he had told me to get my things that both of us were going somewhere. Shocked and way too confused to ask any questions, I followed him, in his car.I rode with him at the back while his driver drove us to God knows where...Flash back "Where are you taking me?" I asked Henry for the umpteenth time and just like every other time before, he laughed out softly."You have never had a patient bone in your body. Not even once." He teased me and I rolled my eyes at him, a small smile tugging a

HENRY'S POV"I saw you dancing with Jewel." Henrietta mentioned as soon as I got to our table and I sighed, dragging a chair out and taking my seat.Yes, I had come here with my sister. My parents were and of the most popular business tycoons in the city and even I'm the entire control and they were invited for this charity ball. They couldn't make it so they sent my sister and I to represent them.This wasn't the first gala we would be attending in place of our parents  but still I didn't want to come for this one because I wasn't feeling it. Obviously it was because I was lazy mostly because I knew how stressful this kind of gala was. As per my father's request, I'd have to mingle with most of his business associates and their wives. Those women wouldn't stop recommending their daughters for me. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
