Lizzy Ford’s POV
“Lizzy?” the mysterious man asked.“Oh, I remember now. You’re Miss Lizzy, Debbie’s assistant. Sorry, I didn’t recognize you earlier,” Leo said. There was a hint of regret in his tone of voice.“J-Jason,” I said, looking at him as if I couldn’t believe the sight before me.God, please. Why did I have to meet him in this hotel?Suddenly, Jason grabbed my hand and pulled my body closer to him. “Leo, take care of that man and tell the Everbury police to investigate this.”“Ok, sir,” Leo replied.“What room is he in, Miss?” Leo asked me.“308,” I replied quietly. I hoped Aaron was still there. But I was sure he must still be there because the way to the lobby must pass through the place where I met Jason. Then, Leo rushed a few men with him to room 308.“Come with me now. I have something to talk to you about,” Jason said to me. I nodded, still trying to digest everything that had happened that night. Everything happened so fast, like a movie role that was being rewound at a certain speed.But was I dreaming? What was he doing in Everbury? It was all an astonishing coincidence. However, at least I could escape from Aaron’s clutches. To be honest, I still felt a little scared. I still remember the look on Aaron’s face, the look in his eyes and voice that night vividly.Jason took me to the parking lot and asked me to get into his car. We sat in the back passenger seat and were silent. I looked down at my sweat-soaked fingers. My breathing was still labored from the night’s events.Deep down inside, I felt happy to see him because I missed him so much. I wish he knew that for the past six years, I could never forget him. Even the fragrance of his perfume is still vividly remembered. The look in his eyes, the lines on his face, his red lips, and his minty breath are still remembered very well.I heard Jason exhale a few times before finally making a sound. “So, is this what you do in Everbury for money? Don’t you have anything to explain after six years of disappearing without saying goodbye to me?”I turned to him with a confused gaze. “What do you mean?”“Was my question not clear enough? Did you make money by dating some men? Why did you just leave six years ago?” he asked. Curiosity was clear on his face.Our eyes met, but his questions hurt my feelings. Everything he thought about me was wrong. Had these six years changed him?“So, is that what you think of me? How wicked! You don’t know me very well.” Clear liquid poured out of my eyes. My chest felt tight.“Then what were you doing with that man in this hotel? There’s no way a man would book a hotel room for no apparent reason. He just wanted to have sex with you. That’s all he had in mind. Don’t you know that? Explain everything to me tonight,” he pleaded. Then, he took out his cell phone from inside his shirt pocket and called someone.After a few minutes, someone answered the incoming call. “Leo, tell Everbury police, I want to see him tonight.” After that, he hung up and put his cell phone back into his shirt pocket.“Explain now, Lizzy. I want to hear everything in full,” he said in a lofty tone of voice.“I just got into a relationship with him a month ago. We indeed had a plan to go out tonight, but I didn’t know if he planned to take me to the beach and book a hotel room. I tried to talk to him nicely, but he insisted on touching me, so I ran away from him and met Leo. As for six years ago, I’m sure your mom can explain it to you. One thing’s for sure, I did nothing wrong and didn’t sell myself to strange men. I’m leaving now and thank you,” I replied as I got out of his car while holding back tears.When I closed the car door, he was silent and didn’t stop me from leaving. Maybe I should start learning to move on and not hold feelings of love for him in my heart anymore. It’s time to forget the past, even though it’s difficult. I have imprisoned the image of him for so long in the depths of my heart because he was the first man in my life.I hurried down the hill to reach the bus stop. I was sure I saw a bus stop near the beach. The night air was getting colder, and it was already eleven o’clock at night. Debbie and Anya must be worried.I stuffed my hands into my jacket pockets and pressed the sides of the jacket together to keep myself warm. But things weren’t as easy as I thought. The path down the hill was steep enough that I had to take off my high heels or I’d end up at the bottom of the hill badly injured from rolling over.As I was taking off my right high heel, a car’s headlights dazzled my eyes, and it stopped right in front of me. Instantly, the rear passenger car door opened and, for the second time, I saw Jason in front of my eyes.“Get in. I’ll take you home,” he said. I still remember his distinctive voice clearly and I miss it so much.Still, in a state of half disbelief, I stood there for a few minutes and I was roused from my reverie by the honking of several cars just then Jason pulled my hand get into his car so that I ended up face down on his lap and he quickly closed the car door. It all happened so fast.“Leo, let’s go,” he ordered.After coming back to my senses, I immediately got up, moved away from him, and sat up in the correct position. I ventured to steal a glance at him, and he had an annoyed look on his face.“You almost made a mess. Didn’t you see the queue of cars at the back? Where’s your home address?” he asked me. I felt bad, so I just looked down at the floor of the car.“Sorry. My apartment is on Victoria Road four, the second building,” I replied as I put my high heels back on.Throughout the trip, we were silent and just stared at the road and the cars passing by. We were like two strangers who had just met. Why should we meet again if, in reality, we couldn’t be together? He and I are on different levels, the levels determined by his family. Besides, I was afraid of something bad happening to Anya if he and his family knew about her. Maybe it was better for me to keep quiet and not tell him about Anya. After all, we had become two different strangers.Moments later, we arrived in front of my apartment building. I got out and prepared to close the car door.“Thank you for tonight. It was nice meeting you.”“OK, take care. I’m going to the police station now,” he replied.“Ok. Bye.”However, the thing I wanted to hide revealed itself. Suddenly, I heard Anya screaming from the lobby. Could it be that fate didn’t allow me to hide Anya’s whereabouts from Jason?“Mommy.”I turned around and saw my little angel running toward me. I saw Mia walking behind Anya. Why are they still awake? Maybe they were waiting for me to come home.Anya came over and hugged me. I carried her in my arms. Both her tiny hands touch my face. “Mom, why did you come home so late? I couldn’t sleep waiting for you.”“Sorry. Then let’s go inside and sleep. I’m sleepy as well,” I replied as I kissed her right cheek.As expected, Jason got out of the car and walked towards the two of us. Mia, who was only a few steps away from me, looked at Jason and me and the two of them and Anya, started showering me with questions.“Lizzy, why are you coming home this late at night? Where’s Aaron? Why aren’t you with him? Who is this guy?” Mia asked curiously.“Is she your daughter? How old is she?” Jason asked as he looked at Anya intently.“Mommy, who is that uncle?” Anya asked.Lizzy’s POVI had to think and answer their questions quickly or else they would come back to bombard me with the same questions or add new ones.“J-Jason, this is my daughter. You can go now. It’s late and I need to accompany my daughter to bed. Please,” I replied to Jason. His eyes looked at Anya intently. After hearing my answer, his face looked dissatisfied. Without another word, he left. However, before getting into the car, he looked at us with a look that I couldn’t interpret.Sorry, Jason. I didn’t know how to tell you the truth about Anya because I wasn’t sure if you would accept Anya well after hearing the truth about her, and I was afraid something bad would happen to Anya if your family knew about her. I guess we’re just not meant to be together.“Lizzy, who is he? And where is Aaron?” Mia asked for the second time.“I’ll tell you later. Let’s go inside,” I invited Mia.After putting Anya to bed, Mia and I sat in the dining room. Her face looked upset and her gaze seemed t
Jason’s POVThat very night, I headed straight to the police station to see that bastard’s face who had dared to harass Lizzy. No one could touch my woman!“Sir, we have arrived at Everbury police station,” Leo said. “Ok, Leo.”A few policemen stood in front of the entrance. They welcomed my arrival. Then, they escorted me into the investigation room accompanied by the two policemen who handled Lizzy’s case. When the door to the investigation room was opened, I saw a young man sitting with his face down looking at his fingers. When he heard the door open and footsteps enter, he looked up and asked, “Who are you? The police have already questioned me. Can I leave now?”“So, is your name Aaron Conway?” “Yes. Is there any other problem? Can I leave now?” he asked. “No, because tonight is going to be a long night for you. And I’ll make sure you don’t get out of this place easily. Give me the file, Leo.”“What do you mean? I’m not guilty. The woman you met is my lover. It’s natural I w
Anya Ford’s POV“Bye, Mia.”“Bye, my angel. Looks like I’ll be a little late picking you up. Wait for me in the teacher’s lounge, ok?” Mia replied as she hugged and kissed my cheek. I nodded as I returned her hug. Huft, I didn’t want to go to school even though I have a father, but I wasn’t sure if they would stop bothering me.I hate school!“Anya, let’s go,” Mommy said as she waved her hand at me repeatedly. Mommy and I walked out of the apartment, waving goodbye to Mia. As usual, Mommy would take me to school every morning, then she would go to work afterward and it was Mia who picked me up from school. My school was near to our apartment. Within fifteen minutes, I arrived at the front of the school. Four teachers were standing in front of the entrance to welcome the students. After getting out of the car, I waved goodbye to mommy with a smile. I loved Mommy and Mia and it felt so sad to know that I was going to meet the bullies again. “Bye, Mommy. Love you.”“Love you, too,”
Jason’s POVThat night after returning to the hotel, I lay down on the bed while taking off all my clothes. I couldn’t contain my sexual desire any longer until finally, one hand massaged my dick back and forth rapidly.“Ah, fuck!”I closed my eyes as I imagined Lizzy on that night six years ago. I imagined her hand gently massaging my dick while kissing my lips softly, then she lay down and asked me to put my dick into her pussy. Her breathing sounds heavy. She begged me repeatedly while gently stroking the fine hair on her pussy.“Jason, I can’t hold it any longer. Put it in,” she pleaded. Her face was seductive and cute.“Okay. Ah, you have beautiful pussy. Let me taste it,” I replied while caressing her wet pussy.In my imagination, I slowly put my dick into her tight pussy. It felt amazing, especially when I moved my hips back and forth quickly. Lizzy’s vaginal walls squeezed my dick tightly, giving me the perfect pleasure. It was like flying into the clouds.While continuing to
Lizzy’s POVLuckily, God loves me. Two friends walked into the employee changing room and caught Adam in the act. He got suspended and lost his annual bonus. Since then, he’s hated me and seems to have influenced his son to make trouble toward Anya.He’s such a coward!As for Sonya, yes, she is almost similar to Adam. The difference is that Sonya has an affair elsewhere. I found out about this while taking out the trash at night and saw Sonya’s car swaying and when I got closer; I saw Sonya and the strange man making love.However, instead of repenting. She continued with her affair. Unfortunately, they were so good at covering up their rottenness so their partners didn’t know about it until now.But, I know everything.“You try to expose it. I won’t stay silent,” Sonya yelled as she pushed my body back.“We’ll see about that,” I countered as I brushed her hand away.“Are you baffling?” Adam asked.“No, I’m not baffling. I think you’re the one who’s baffling. I’ve never hurt you, but
Lizzy’s POVSeveral old men and women stood in front of the elevator doors. The timing was terrible. Why did they have to stand there? I wished I could turn back time.I wanted to kiss him.We spontaneously stayed away and became misbehaviour. Then Jason took my hand and led me to his room.When my feet stepped inside, I spontaneously walked closer to the large window that almost filled half of the room. The window overlooked the city, including the lake and the park. The night view was beautiful and made me feel melancholy.“Please have a seat. The food will be here in a moment,” he said as he entered the bathroom.“What did you bring me here for? I told you I’d be home soon, but you brought me here instead. It’s already past midnight,” I asked.He came out of the bathroom while drying his wet face. “Can’t you see that your body is shaking from the cold? Even your palms are cold. Can’t you pay more attention to yourself? Look, you’re getting skinnier.”“I’m fine and I felt nothing wro
Lizzy’s POV“Umm Jason, although I don’t want to tell you all these things but something forced me. I thought our past should remain the past, but apparently, fate did not let that happen. Six years ago, when I left your family mansion, I was pregnant, and I just found out the morning before I came to work. That very morning, your mother kicked me out because of our relationship. She didn’t want us to have a special relationship. She also asked me if I was pregnant. I didn’t answer her question and left for the sake of our child, even though I felt the pain and sadness of not being able to see you anymore. For the good of all, I left Maldiva and stayed with Mia, my aunt, in Everbury until I gave birth to our daughter. Her name is Anya Ford,” I said as I held back the clear liquid that was also coming out and wetting my face. “Lizzy,” he said. “Let me explain everything,” I pleaded. “Okay.”“At first I thought I could play father and mother at the same time for Anya, but that’s impo
Clara’s POVAfter ordering a few bottles of drinks, Jason stared out the window wordlessly. I knew the meaning of his gaze. There was a great love for Lizzy. All this time, I knew he only loved Lizzy and never gave another woman a chance to replace her place in his heart.I was jealous and wanted Lizzy to go away from Jason’s life forever. However, sometimes I feel tired of forcing my love on him. It’s so painful when we don’t have the person we love despite our best efforts.“Here’s your drink,” I said as I handed him the glass filled with drinks. He grabbed it and drained the contents in an instant.“Are you okay?”He just nodded. You weren’t okay, Jason. You lied to me and yourself. After six years of separation from that woman, you must want her by your side.Jason poured another drink into his glass and drained the contents in no time until finally the bottle of drinks was gone.As he was about to open the second bottle, I held back his hand. “No! You’re already drunk. Stop, plea
