With consistency and hard work, she managed to make it that far in life, for herself and for the sake of her daughters.
She was bent on giving them a better life than she had.More than anyone,Jane could Jane could quite understand the reason behind her mother’s dominance over her lifeShe made every decision regarding Jane’s life, right from what she ate and wore, down to whom she related with.She wouldn’t condone the occurrence of even the slightest mistake. but it was becoming a little too intense.She made every decision regarding Jane's life, right form what she ate and wore down to whom she related withJane hadn't seen or heard from her father in a very long time.She wasn't bothered about that because his presence in her life would subtract or add absolutely nothing.She considered her mother to be a strong woman because despite all the hurdles and circumstances she faced in the past, she didn't letJane had never seen this side of her mother before,That was because she had never dared to double cross her fo once.She usually made sure to fill her in on every single detail of her life except this one time.It was like they were both sharing Jane’s life.Ms. Anna was calm in nature.She wasn't the type to physically express what she felt, especially not anger.She usually just walked away with a straight face and ignored everyone she came across.Jane heaved a deep sigh and began to explain “It was all a misunderstanding…….It was all my fault”“You were right, I should never have walked away without hearing him out first”Jane began to narrate Jessica’s ordeal surrounding her separation from Vincent.Right from how Vincent met Jessica, to Vincent’s test for love and then the incident that transpired on the cruise ship vacation down to the news of Jessica’s supposed pregnancy and
Jane walked up to her mother and gave her a hug.Surprisingly, Ms. Anna wrapped her arms around her daughter and returned the hug.Ms. Anna barely expressed emotions or affections, it was almost like she had no feelings at all.It was the least that one could expect from someone who had been through half of what she had experienced in life.To her, life was like a transaction.That was why she tried pushing Jane to Vincent.Love was not in the equation, comfort was the only goal.Although she had moved on, she was blinded by memories from her past. And because of this, she had failed to see things from her daughter’s point of view.When Ms. Anna’s eyes met the wall clock in her room, her eyes widened and she immediately broke off their long hug.She had totally forgotten that she had somewhere to be at the moment.She didn’t even remember what brought her home in the first place.
The interior of the restaurant screamed pure luxury with their heavy luxurious cutlery and Murano glasses.Vincent and Jane had a fantastic time at the restaurant.After their lunch, they both drove back to Vincent’s place.The moment they arrived back at Vincent’s house, Jane was surprised to see Elizabeth but Vincent was not.He was already used to it by now.“Isn’t that the girl from the meeting?” Jane asked Vincent.“Yes”“Your rival’s girlfriend?”“Ex” Vincent corrected.She immediately turned to face him “What is she doing here then? At your house?”The look in Jane’s eyes clearly said “Boy….You have a ton of explaining to do”Vincent heaved in a deep sigh as he scratched the back of his head in confusion.He didn’t know how to start explaining these things to her again.He should have told her about his past history with Elizabeth in the very first place.<
Avoiding chaos between Jane and Elizabeth was not much of a problem.All that had to be done was to keep them as far away from each other as possible.They carried on with the rest of their day like nothing had happened.Night came and Jane retired to bed.Not until the time was very late, Vincent decided to do the same after spending so much time on his gadgets.He had gotten so used to sleeping very late.Vincent picked up one of his bathrobes and proceeded to walk into the bathroom.Just an inch away from the bathroom door, Vincent heard a knock on the main door to his room.“Who could it be at this hour?” Dropping his bathrobe on his bed, Vincent thought to himself as he retreated and began to walk up to the door.It couldn’t possibly be Jane, she was already fast asleep.And it couldn’t be Ms. Marie either, he had already eaten dinner that night.When Vincent twisted the door knob
By the time Vincent woke up the next morning, he was feeling better but his head was still heavy.It was throbbing so hard, he was sure that he was sick.Besides, he hadn't visited the hospital.He decided to book an appointment to the doctor’s office that very morning.After placing a few calls, he got a call back.“Good Morning Mr. Vincenzo” A lady greeted him from the other end of the line.It had to be the hospital’s receptionist.“Good Morning,” Vincent replied.“Today’s appointment has been for 10:00 am Sir”“That’ll be in two hours time from now”“Yes,” Vincent agreed, looking at the wall clock in his room.He walked over to the water dispenser by his bedside and took out one of the disposable cups from its stack.He filled the cup with water and drank it all.He opened the curtain and looked out the big glass window to see Samuel.Suddenly, flashes of everything that happened the previous night came back to him, hitting him like a powerful wave.So he really meant it?!Vincent
A light skinned lady in a purple bodysuit and a small, dainty, silver necklace walked into the building with a small black handbag.She had her blonde curly hair fall below her shoulders with a pair of sunglasses on.“Elizabeth?!” “You didn’t tell me that you were coming over today” Samuel said with a nervous and surprised look on his face.Elizabeth walked over to Samuel and cupped his left cheek with her right hand while she smiled and stared directly into his light brown eyes.“Oh silly, I don’t necessarily have to inform you of my visits to your place”“Do I?”“Very soon, my presence wouldn’t even be regarded as visits anymore”Samuel was utterly speechless…….Wrong timing.Why was she here this early in the morning?And without informing him first.She usually visited in the evenings and not in the mornings, why did she come now. “Babe! Do I?” Elizabeth snapped this time, urging him to answer the question she had asked right before he zoned out.“N.….No….Not at all”“Exactly” Sh
Pretending not to notice her, Samuel drove off past her.He could see her from his side mirror.She had to learn her lesson and realise her mistakes.She had pulled the last straw too many times.They finally got to the main exit of the residential area and drove out the giant gate after the residence security had certified that they were from the Vincenzo residence.He pressed a button that lifted the barrier for them to drive through.The security protocols in that residential area were very tight due to the fact that a lot of wealthy people resided there.Their statuses alone were a serious threat to them, talkless of their luxurious assets and publicity.As obvious as the prediction was, they were still on their way to the appointment a few minutes after 10:00 am.At the beginning of the day, they planned to beat time but time beat them instead.Elizabeth succeeded in making that happen..It was as if nature was a force against them as time itself began to run faster than usual.B
“Good afternoon” Vincent greeted her back, we were directed here to make a few payments for conducted tests and prescribed drugs.“Okay, just give me a minute” The receptionist said as she adjusted her wheeled seat to the left side of the long desk where the full computer set sat with a charger connected to it.“I’ve received your E-receipt and prescriptions Sir”“How would you like to pay? Via card or bank transfer” “Bank transfer please” Vincent replied.Hearing this, the lady handed him something that looked like a business card with the company's account numbers and bank names on it along with his bill for the tests and drugs “You can pay into any one”of themNodding his head, Vincent collected the card from the receptionist and reached for his phone in the left pocket of his pants to proceed with the transfer.The relaxed look on Vincent’s face suddenly changed into a tense one.“What’s wrong?” Jane asked Vincent, seeing the look of confusion written all over his face.Vincent c
