“He was probably just having his revenge by ignoring me the way I did to him yesterday……” Jane thought inwardly to herself as she keenly watched him chew every single bit of muffin.She felt guilty and she probably deserved whatever she was getting and the rest that was to come.She just couldn’t wait to show Elizabeth…….She was so looking forward to the day that she would finally get to deal with that witch using her own two bare hands.Elizabeth was the least of Jane’s problems at the moment but she was still the root cause.She knew that Vincent was childish and had a childlike nature but she didn’t think that he was petty.In the past, he had always been quick to apologise even when she was wrong by putting aside his ego and their differences and asking her what the problem was, trying to sort out things between them.It was her turn.Afterall, there is a saying that goes thus, ‘everyday for the thief, but one day for the owner’That Sunday was the one day she had to swallow her e
“Are you lying?” Vincent questioned Jane with both eyes squinted as though he was struggling to peek at something.The place fell silent for a short moment.Jane couldn’t say yes and she also couldn’t say no at the same time.Elizabeth wasn’t exactly the cause of her anger but at the same time she was.Jane shook her head indicating to Vincent that she was not lying but in fact speaking the truth.“Okay then, if you say so” He agreed, still having a sting of doubt in his mind.This made Vincent more eager and curious to find out what went on between Jane and Elizabeth in his absence at the wedding reception.Jane heaved a sigh of relief the moment she finished tidying up her baking space.She had done the dishes and put them away where each and every single one of them belonged.At least she had gotten one thing off of her chest, two more to go.The first one was the apology she had just made to Vincent while the other two were breakfast and of course…... .Elizabeth.Elizabeth and Sam
Does that mean that she had spent her entire morning cooking for Vincent, doing the dishes and then arguing with him?Heaving a very deep sigh of frustration, Jane quickly had her muffins and orange juice before retiring to her room.At least the chocolate chip muffins were really good.She didn’t really know how to cook, but that was her special secret recipe.Vincent and Jane went on with the rest of their day like they usually did on regular Sundays.Vincent stayed in his room all day long doing God knows what as he peeked out his room’s window to see Jane reading a book in the garden, he smiled to himself.After finishing the snatched orange juice that Jane had earlier, Vincenr dropped the glass cup on a small desk in his room.He stared at if for a while before he came to a final conclusion “I just knew there was something special about this one!” He said, trying so hard to convince himself that both glass
“Vincent!”“What is this?!” Looking up at the big window, Jane yelled out to Vincent who rested his chin, cupping it with his left palm which was supported by his elbow, looking down and with a witty smile on his face.“What is what?” He reiterated maintaining that position.“Why are you bent on disturbing my peace and quiet this afternoon”“I might not be quiet but I am…….Your peace”Was he being serious right now?Jane thought to herself as the space between them fell silent for a while.In a calm voice, Jane breathed in before asking Vincent “What’d you want?”“I want you to save me!”“Save you?” Jane asked out loud with a puzzled look on her face.“Yes!”“I don’t understand”“Give me a minute, I’ll just let my hair down so that you can climb up and come get me”Hold on…….That sentence seemed familiar to the storyline of a familiar cartoon.It was Rapunzel.“How did he even know?”Shaking her head, Jane realised that she wouldn't be surprised if Vincent actually watched cartoons.J
Jane sat right beside Vincent by the driver’s seat of the car.Having absolutely nothing to do, she sat there with her face buried in her phone.Suddenly a realisation hit Jane as she the long quiet drive reminded of something she had shoved at the back of her mind earlier.It was the day of Elizabeth and Samuel’s wedding, right before she left The Vincenzo Residence with Vincent.She didn’t bother questioning him that day because he didn’t seem like he was in the mood and she could also see that he was in such a hurry because they were already running out of time.His mind was somewhere else at that moment.She had totally forgotten to ask him about his past before her, especially about his mother.Vincent was driving with full concentration as he had his entire being attentively focused on the road, he didn’t want history to repeat itself.That would be an entire generation down the drain.Although th
Vincent’s father wouldn’t have wanted him fighting his uncles and raising lawsuits against them.It was a deadly game which was equivalent to playing with a torch lit by fire on both ends.Vincent was wealthy and powerful now but they were wise and even much wiser than he was.They knew a lot that he didn’t and they were also capable of doing a lot that he couldn’t, even if it meant getting their brother’s only child out of the way.They would do a clean job and leave not a single evidence behind.They were very experienced people when it came to the dark side of the business world.Elder Mr. Vincenzo was not their first and if at all Vincent dared to try anything rash, Vincent would certainly not be their last.If they could do such to their own blood brother, what made anyone think that they wouldn't do it all over again to his only offspring.Vincent knew that the only way to bring them down was to have them
Vincent’s Rolls Royce drove from the main gate of the residential area, down to The Vincenzo Residence.As they approached the building, Jane pulled out the gate’s remote key and pressed the unlock button which automatically made the large grey coloured gate slide slowly to the left until it was completely wide open.With that, Vincent drove into his building and straight into his garage to pack the car back in the exact position it was before he drove it out of its place for Samuel and Elizabeth’s wedding.The moment he parked the car properly, Vincent alighted and locked it right after Jane got out.With both his hands in his pocket, he breathed in a gust of fresh air while looking up at his enormous building with a smile “Home sweet home” Seeing how dark it already was, Vincent reached for the left pocket of his shorts only to feel a wave of shock as both his eyes widened.He quickly turned back to the car and opened it with
She was awoken by the rays of sunlight that brushed her skin as she lightly tossed and turned while she stretched her arms and legs in bed.It completely slipped her mind to draw the curtains before she went to bed the previous night.Even if she had remembered then, she would’ve been too tired to get back up and do the needful.Those rays had disrupted her sleep and there was no going back now, she couldn't continue her sleep.Jane dragged herself out of bed and straight to her closet for a bathrobe before proceeding to her bathroom in order to freshen up for the day.Suddenly she paused, stopping right in her tracks as she maintained complete silence in her room for a while.“Did I just hear a scream?” Jane thought to herself as she decided to shrug off the feeling and proceed to carry on with her morning routineBlaming the scream she supposedly heard on mere hallucination instead due to the fact that she didn’t wake
