All Chapters of SEVEN MONTHS TO MAKE HIM BEG: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

The flight from Chicago had been canceled at the last minute…some mechanical issue with the private jet according to the airline.Instead of spending another night in the hotel, Jayla had decided to return home.“Hi husband, the flight has just been canceled, and I will be heading home.” The familiar voicemail beeping tone filled the silence.Jayla didn’t think much of it. Her husband has been a little tied up with work recently.She picked up her fur coat and gloves and headed towards the car.The drive from the hotel to the Woodford Mansion lasted for an hour and Jayla sat in the rear seat in silence listening to the weather forecast on the radio.As soon as she stepped out of the car, she was met with a surprising sight. Alex’s favourite black Maybach was parked in its usual spot in the garage, which was weird because he was never one to miss a day at his office.What even made it more surprising was the red Mercedes beside it…Her best friend Sophia's car.Probably nothing serious,

She simply walked past her without a word and headed straight for the bedroom.“I’m not in the mood,” she said over her shoulder, keeping her voice as calm as she could. “I’ll explain everything in the morning. I promise.”Mia looked at her with compassion. “That bad, huh?”Jayla paused at her bedroom door.

The thought about everything she had endured at Alex’s hands all because she wanted to save her father's empire came like a haunting shadow.It had seemed worth it at first as her father's businesses were slowl
