Thirty-nine: Family Bond 2

“Hi,” Sylvia started in a small voice, her velvety voice sailing into Jamie’s ears and pulling his attention back to her as he’d been staring at the entrance with which Grace had left after dropping the bomb on him.His eyes trailed back to the middle-aged woman staring at him with an expression he couldn’t place. He didn’t know what to say as he was suddenly blank and the only thought that revolved in his head was that he’d seen the woman before but he couldn’t quite recall where or when. As if Sylvia could read into his thoughts, she spoke.“You may have seen me at Ryan Davidson’s wedding,” and then it suddenly clicked. That was where he’d seen her.The moment he’d stepped into the large room during the wedding reception, as he glanced around in search of Amelia, his eyes had briefly landed on this woman who had a radiant smile on her face then, but he hadn’t let his gaze linger on her as he was there just for Amelia, and to him, she was just a stranger then. But who could have thou

Forty: Hiding in the shadows

It’s been a month since Grace’s death and it was the day of her funeral. Her death had come as a shock to everyone, including Jamie. It had been more shocking and unbelievable for him as he’d been with the woman the morning before she died. Yet, no one knew. It was only him, Sylvia and her personal bodyguard, Henry that were aware of the meeting but Henry had also lost his life in the accident that claimed her life.That morning, Jamie arrived at the cemetery where she was to be laid to rest, dressed in black to honor her demise and to pay his last respect to the one woman he’d fought with the most, and also the only woman he’d grown to know as a mother. Despite their differences and the conflict that had separated them, deep down he still harbored great love for her and saw her as his only mother. The news of the scandal and his business empire had blown over after Grace’s accident, as everyone paid their condolences to the family.For a few minutes, he sat in his car, staring at eve

Forty-one: Flowers

Cookie woke up the next morning and the first thing that assailed her nostrils was the fragrance of the familiar cologne she only attached to one man, Jamie. She frowned and drew in a deep breath to clear her doubts that she must be hallucinating but then a whiff of the familiar fragrance she knew so well wafted into her nostrils again and she found herself greedily inhaling more of it while she wondered how it got into her home. If it was her old place, she could have quickly concluded that he broke into her house again, but this was a different apartment.Two months ago, after she’d woken up in the middle of the night to see him in her room, there to help her in her most vulnerable state after one of her nightmares, she knew it was time to move out. That apartment he’d rented for her held too many memories of them for her to truly start afresh and not have him meddling in her life as though they were old friends or still lovers. Although it had hurt like hell to come to that decisio

Forty-two: The date

That day, Cookie went to work, ignoring all that happened that morning, while looking forward to the lunch date Hansel had promised her. But little did she know there was more in store for her. A few minutes before her lunch hour at the office, she heard a tap on her office door. The light sound disrupted her from the work she’d been doing as she raised her head and glanced at the door, her lazy gaze focused on it as she called out to whoever it was to get in. The door opened and the front desk receptionist strode in, holding a large bouquet of flowers that was even bigger than the one she got in the morning. It was also roses. Her gaze darkened, her eyes narrowing at the woman as she brought them in with a bright smile on her face.“Someone has got an admirer, or is it that boy you’ve been hanging out with? The one that picks you up from work on Fridays?” the receptionist winked at her as she dropped the large bouquet and the paper bag that Cookie hadn’t noticed on her desk and flas

Forty-three: Goodnight text

After leaving Cookie’s place that morning, Jamie had sent flowers and a note to her. It was all part of his plan, to woo her all over again and get her to soften towards him and this time, he was ready to take things slowly, one step at a time. But at the same time, he wasn’t going to hide from her. After getting a call that the flowers had been delivered to her, he asked his source to keep an eye on her. Thereafter, he’d started his day by going to the Financial institution he was working for to drop his resignation letter. The scandal has blown over and it was known that he was a CEO. He could no longer lead the private life he’s been living and it was now pointless to toil his time away for another man’s growing company when he had his own businesses to manage.His old boss had received him with welcoming arms and was even talking of partnering with him in the future. Jamie accepted before leaving. Thereafter, he drove down to KeyStone Financing to assume his position as the CEO a

Forty-four: Unwanted visitor

Jamie had finally settled into the role of the CEO of Keystone Financing after quitting his job at the company he once worked for. And with the news of his business empire and the rumors surrounding it dead, his life was finally back to normal, and asides from the absence of Cookie, he could say he was happier and felt more fulfilled, knowing he didn’t have to hide behind the shadows anymore.It was still very early in the morning and he’d just arrived at work. He strode past his assistant, after instructing the woman on how to serve his morning coffee, before getting into his office. But as soon as he dropped his briefcase on his desk, his phone rang. A quick glance at the gadget showed Robert’s name flashing across the screen and he immediately recalled that his younger brother had called the previous day, but he’d abruptly ended the call as he had been so engrossed in getting to Cookie, that he’d forgotten to call back.Hence, without hesitation, he answered the call, holding the p

Forty-five: Wet dreams

Cookie laid on the bed, her legs spread widely and her hands tied above her head with a blindfold covering her eyes. Without being told, she knew he was looming over her, ready to devour her but the thoughts made a cold shiver run down her spine, causing goosebumps to break out of her skin. She wanted it so much, in fact, she craved his touch and she was anticipating it but it was obvious he was hell-bent on drawing it out, just to make her beg for it. The blunt tip of his fingers grazed the inside of her exposed thighs, very close to her dripping core and an audible gasp escaped her lips as she swallowed down a whimper. “Tell me what you want, doll,” he spoke in that deep guttural voice that had her core clenching with need and she tried closing her legs to rub them together, hoping it’d relieve the deep ache she was feeling but he wouldn’t let her. He quickly grabbed onto them, holding them firmly in place and spreading them so wide that she felt the strain on her knees. Thereafte

Forty-six: Always his baby

The first thing that greeted Jamie as he alighted from his car were the bright neon lights shaped into the inscription that read De Bryn’s Karaoke Bar, at the top of the building. It was a Sunday evening, and he was there to find Cookie like he’d been doing every Sunday for the past four weeks. After he discovered she’d moved across town after getting a new job, he’d also found out she’d been frequenting this bar with one of her female colleagues from her workplace, who she’d gotten close with. And ever since then, he’d also been frequenting the bar and even had a private booth reserved just for him where he could monitor her and watch her without her knowing. But it seemed he was late today.He glanced at the wristwatch adorning his wrist to see he wasn’t late. It was just a few minutes past 7 pm, the exact time Cookie and her friend usually showed up in a cab. He’d been in the parking lot for almost ten minutes but they hadn’t shown up, and he was already getting worried as his mind

Forty-seven: First fight

Cookie woke up to the sight of Hansel looming over her with a piece of paper in hand, and a hard expression etched on his face. His dark eyes scrutinized her, roaming over her body that was covered in just booty shorts and a camisole.At first, Cookie was startled to see him there. She’d given him a spare key to her apartment after they began dating but it was the first time he was ever using it. She blinked a bit and rose to a sitting position, resting her back on the headboard and mentally noting that her cramps were gone.“Hi,” she croaked out in a dry broken voice. Her eyes darted to the nightstand to see if she’d find a bottle of water as she was very thirsty and her throat was dry but there was nothing there. Her gaze returned to Hansel, who was still silently fuming and glaring hard at her. Cookie was lost to his brewing rage. “How long have you been here?”“Long enough to know you had a man in here while I was absent,” he spat out through gritted teeth, raising the note he had

Forty-eight: Lost hope

“I appreciate your kindness and affection towards me, but I think it’s time it comes to an end. I have a boyfriend now, Jamie and none of these will change that. I’ve moved on and I see you’ve also gotten yourself a new love interest. So focus on her and leave me be. Have a nice life,”Jamie read the words of the text over and over again, with his heart slamming hard against his chest, and constricting painfully. He’d been busy with work when the sound of his phone beeping had distracted him, only for him to pick it up just to see a text from Cookie. At first, a wave of excitement hit him, making his heart leap but the moment his eyes scanned the contents of her text, his heart dropped and for a minute he stopped breathing.He hadn’t expected that from her. After leaving her place the previous night, he was positive that he was already making progress in his chase and would soon have her in his arms like he’d always wanted. But he was beyond shocked to see the text from Cookie. His pl
