Jennie walked to the park with her mother while she called Richardson but the call kept going to voicemail. She wanted to tell him over the phone but then changed her mind at the last second. It would be better to tell him during their outing.“Let’s sit here,” her mother suggested as they sat in a bench while she tried to call Richardson.She listened to it go to voicemail again and this got her angry. “What happened?” the old woman’s voice filled with concern.“I can’t get a hold of him and I’m panicking because what if he knows and he does not want the baby and…”“Hush,” the woman said in a quiet tone, gently patting her daughter on the back. “You are just putting stress on yourself. You need to relax. Don’t overwhelm yourself or it would not end up in a good way.”Jennie took in deep breaths, ready to follow her mother’s advice as she watched the children at the park play with their parents.She had always envisioned how her home was going to be. A happy home where she was marrie
“I don’t know why you’re laughing but I do know that you should really take your life more seriously, Richardson,” she called his name on her mouth and it sounded weird saying it like that.She was not used to calling out his name. She wondered if he felt the same about her. Maybe he didn’t.“Look, it was an accident but gladly no one got hurt. The driver was getting a blow job and he hit me. We worked out our differences and I fixed my car.”“And what about the other driver? Where is he now?”“Oh he’s in prison,” he answered with a cool smile which scared her. “Prison?” she asked. “I thought you said you both worked out your differences.”“Yes we did, but it turns out the car he bashed me with was not his own but a stolen vehicle. Also, he had been violent towards me in our first altercation so there is that. “If he had apologized, maybe I would not have looked into his case and found out about his history. “But he had been violent and that had hurt my ego so I had filed a case wi
There had to be an explanation for all of this. This was not how it was going to end. This was what he kept telling himself until he arrived at the restaurant, getting into it with a worried look on his face.They both settled into a chair as she called to the waiter who appeared before the both of them. While she ordered what she wanted, Richardson had his mind on the issues at hand. He did not want this case to escalate. “Sir?” the waiter called to him, getting him out of his head. He looked at the young man.“Yes?”“What can I get you?”“Water will be nice,” he replied. He could feel his throat being parched and he wanted to take something to cool down.The waiter nodded before moving to get what he wanted.“This is a nice restaurant,” Jennie smiled as she looked around to see more people getting into it with their fancy clothes. She was getting used to her rich life already. This was the kind of life she had envisioned having and she was already living it. Her past self would be
Everything would be destroyed because of this little spat.He could imagine what his grandfather would feel when he would tell him of what had happened. This was going to be a full blown disaster. He had been told to keep his identity on a low scale but here he was blowing it out of proportion by being involved with Jennie. Who knew it would get to this point where they would not be seeing eye to eye. Why was she behaving like this? He could not see her leverage here. He did not know what she was willing to get out of this. There was only one thing to do and he was willing to do it. He was going to pay her off to keep her quiet. That was the best he could do. He would listen to whatever terms she had to say to keep her quiet. But if she were to destroy his life by uttering a word to anyone about him, then he would have no choice but to take up drastic measures against her.“What do you want?” he sighed, staring at her with hatred.“Now we’re talking,” she said with a chirpy tone a
All he had ever done for her was save her from trouble.How was she this ungrateful to him? Even after all he had done for her. He had given her enough money to take care of herself. He had saved her multiple times from being insulted and humiliated in public. He had been a great friend to her both emotionally, sexually and financially and somehow she had not seen all of that as a reason to be by his side. Instead she had seen it as a reason to extort more from him.He could see her true colors and he could see how cruel she was towards him. She did not care about him. She only cared about his money.“Who was that?” she asked as he sat on his chair to see that she had ordered more food for herself and they looked very expensive. She noticed his judgemental stares and smiled. “I was hungry so I decided to take more. Look I’m feeding two people now, do you want us to starve?”He sighed. There was no need in making a scene over food. He could afford it. He waved her on as he went on to
Jennie was now in a bind. Of course she had not seen it getting to this point but it had gotten there and now she had no choice but to go with whatever was being said to her. She was not going to be let off the hook as the men could see right through her plans. They knew what she was capable of doing and they were also ready to take drastic actions against her. “I hear you’ve got terms of your own,” Tom stated. “I have a recorder here, you can state whatever you want and we’ll have it recorded and it will be provided for you. No questions asked.”This was a very tricky situation. She didn't even know what his own terms would be like but she was sure she did not want to be held up by a term she could not adhere to.“Do we really need to go through this route?” she chuckled. “I know I brought up the part about going to the lawyer and all but I was joking. We don’t need to be all serious about it.”“Having a baby is a serious matter, Ma’am,” Tom said in a serious tone. “You don’t have
Jennie could find that her heartbeat was not as intense as before after speaking with her mother. Everything was now calm and she could see the brighter side of things.She looked at the men before her as she was ready to state her terms.On the phone, she had told her mother her fears and how the conversation had gone with the two men but her mother had reassured her that they were bluffing about the legal cases.“They won’t go that far,” the woman had said with a light chuckle. “They are bluffing. No one wants to go through that process as it is really too stressful for anyone to go through. “I can testify to that as someone who has been to court a couple of times. The court system is not designed to work for men but against men. “Trust me, even if it was to get to that point, all you need to do is shed a few tears and you’ll be living the good life once again.”This had been the motivation she had been in search of and as usual her mother had provided that for her.“Alright, we h
Jennie was living her best life and she was unapologetic about it. While she slurped her drink, she was happy about how her life was going. Handing him the book, he opened it to find out she had signed it without going through the terms.“You didn’t read through?” he asked in shock after going through the book.“I read a few but then some of the words started to make me feel dizzy so I dropped them. All I know is that you are responsible and I will live with you and that is that.”He shook his head at how stupid she was becoming.Now he had to find a way to explain his situation to his grandfather. He had prepared a speech in his mind but he did not know if it would be okay to use it or just apologize. Plain apology was better. Trying to explain how he had sex without a condom even when he was being targeted by multiple people in the company who would use any means to bring him down looked like a very terrible mistake.It was an avoidable one but it had happened nonetheless.“So whe
