Sharon sat on the sidewalk bench, crying silently. As if on cue, the rain starts to fall heavily. "Why? Why? What have I ever done to deserve this!?" she soliloquized angrily. She is not crying because she feels like a failure. She is crying because she has been staying strong all alone. After staying strong for a very long time, the tears couldn't help falling this time around.
Earlier that day...
Sharon stared at the letter on her desk in despair. Who will she ask for help now? Her brother Benedict, who is also the CEO, is not even an option right now because he totally hates her guts.
She stared at the dismissal letter again. Why has life always been unfair to her? She looked at her chubby reflection in the mirror. It's not her fault that she was born this way.
Ever since she was young, it must have been pretty obvious to everyone that she looks and behaves differently from her family. Her mother, Lena, was a hot model in her prime and is currently a wellknown fashion designer.
She is the perfect combination of slim and sexy. The perfect genes Sharon didn't even inherit any; her sister Sheila is the one who takes after their mom. Sheila has those sexy blue eyes that seem to make men go mad over her. She is slim, beautiful, and has the perfect hourglass figure.
Something Sharon can only hope for in the coming years. Unlike Sheila, Sharon is her direct opposite. Even though she's the older daughter, she is the shortest in the family.
Unlike the females in their family, Sharon is chubby. She has brown hair and eyes. The only thing she inherited from her father. She doesn't have Benedict's intelligence or Sheila's beauty and charisma. She has always been an introvert, even at a young age.
She sighed and breathed deeply before holding the letter. "I have to at least try pleading. This is my only source of income. I can't lose this now," she thought, and she walked out of her office.
Heading to the manager's office, she prayed silently, hoping he would have sympathy for her. As soon as she knocked, she heard his voice. That voice that always sent shivers down her spine
‘Do you know the kind of shiver I'm talking about?’ Not the good kind of shiver, like you get when you're in love.
It's the bad one. You know when you are afraid of someone when you shiver in fear. That's the shiver I'm talking about. Sharon walked into the office with a pleading expression. The manager looked up and smiled, showing his dirty, darkbrown teeth.
Everyone is well aware of how badly her family treats her, so they treat her anyhow. They don't show her respect the way they show it to Sheila. Sheila is like a queen, but she is seen as nobody.
"I see, Sharon, you got the letter, right? I'm sorry about what happened. You are one of our best employees, and the company is sad to see you leave," he said, still smiling.
Sharon knows he isn't telling the truth. Who will be sad to see her leave? No one, absolutely no one. The happiest person would be Benedict.
He has been looking for ways to dismiss her. Why isn't it normal for brothers to try to protect their younger sisters?
Yes, he protects Sheila like a mother hen protects her chicks. Sometimes she wonders if they are really her siblings. There's that silent voice in her mind asking over and over again, "Am I adopted?"
"Sir, I haven't done anything wrong to deserve this letter. Please, sir, you should reconsider. You have just said to yourself that I'm one of your best employees. Do you really want to let me go?" she asked sadly.
The manager stood up, exposing his protruding belly that wasn't obvious before when he was sitting. He walked closer to Sharon and put his chubby hands on her shoulder, slowly caressing her.
Sharon swallowed, feeling very disgusted. "I gave you an option a few years ago, but you rejected it. If you had accepted, I would have been able to save you now," he said.
Sharon thought of this years ago when she joined the company. She was naive and very sensitive. It upset her a lot when people said bad things about her body size, and her brother didn't even try to defend or protect her.
She had yet to accept that Sheila was and would always be everyone's favorite. The manager unexpectedly defended her then. He stood up for her, and she felt safe knowing that at least someone cared about her.
Until she discovered his true motivation. He was a pervert. An old stinky pervert who enjoyed luring and exploiting new female employees.
"Sir, please take your hands off me. I didn't accept your offer years ago, and I certainly won't accept it today. You know it's rude to touch an engaged lady impolitely, Mr. Jean," Sharon uttered, shrugging his hands off her.
Mr. Jean stared at her, feeling a little bit stunned. For the first time since Sharon joined the company, she said his real name. What happened to her addressing him as sir?
He felt slightly irked and annoyed. He just gave her another chance to reconsider, but she blatantly refused. He doesn't want to have anything to do with an outcast anymore.
Someone whose family doesn't even care about him only wanted to help her before, but she has proven stubborn over and over again by rejecting his kind offer.
"There is nothing else to say, Miss Sharon. Go to the financial department and collect your last paycheck. Then get the hell out of this company!" Mr. Jean raised his tone while making the last statement.
Sharon didn't say anything, thinking it was really a mistake to come to him in the first place. She just turned around and left. Mr. Jean looked at her huge backside swaying sideways as she left, then licked his lips with a lustful look.
Sharon suddenly stopped as she touched the door knob. She turned around and didn't miss the lustful look on Mr. Jean's face. She walked towards him, feeling even more disgusted.
"Why have you come back?" Mr. Jean asked grumpily. He was enjoying watching her backside sway seductively, but she suddenly turned around, interrupting the show.
Sharon walked to his table and picked up a heavy book. She then went back to him and "I've always wanted to do this."
Before Mr. Jean could ask what she meant, she lifted the book and hit it on his potbelly. He screamed out in pain.
"Ouch!"
Obviously, he didn't see that coming.
Sharon dropped the book and walked out haughtily. Mr. Jean struggled, "You are fired!" Sharon turned back to look at him and then smirked. "I know. You can't fire me twice," she said before leaving the office.
He then frowned, remembering what just happened. People say beauty is without brains, but to him, Sharon doesn't have any. No beauty, no brain. How dare she do this to him! He would have made her regret it if he wasn't in so much pain.
"Here it is," the lady said, throwing the paper check at Sharon. She had to bend down to pick it up. She blushed out of embarrassment, not feeling surprised since this is what she faces at the company almost every day.
"Maybe I should be glad I'm leaving," she thought. "Then you'll feed on air, right?" her subconscious replies, making her frown at the painful reality.
"Jeez, I have to start thinking about how to pay my bills."
'Perhaps I should take Cherry's offer to write a story for money online,' she thought silently as she walked out.
Just before she could reach the entrance, she bumped into someone, and a briefcase fell down. "Bitch! Can't you see where you are going!?" Sharon looked up as soon as she heard the person's voice.
It's Benedict. He bent down and picked up his suitcase. Before she could say anything, he spoke, "I hope you got the letter, bitch. Don't ever come back to this company again. I know you can't survive without this company."
She swallowed the apology that was about to come out of her mouth and looked at him angrily. "I can do without this goddamn company!" she replied angrily.
Benedict looked at her, surprised because she had never spoken back to him before. She has always been quiet, no matter how he and Sheila bullied her. It seems like there's another lady standing in front of him. Where does Sharon know?
He chuckled and retorted, "I seem to have forgotten that you got yourself a rich boyfriend. Are you going to run to him for help now that you have no job? Aren't you scared that he might dump you?"
Sharon looked at him angrily and spat out, "He's not as unreliable as you!" She can tolerate anything against her, but she won't tolerate a single bad word said against Aiden.
He's the only one who has been there for her. She turned around to leave and heard Ben say, "Don't come back here crying for help."
"I won't," she answered and left.
When she arrived at the company's garage, she sighed in frustration at the sight of all the luxuriouslooking vehicles, with only her own standing out as an eyesore.
As she was about to walk to her car, she saw Benedict's new Porsche parked in a secluded spot. She walked to the car and smirked as an idea clicked on her head.
Looking around, she found a stone big enough to do satisfying damage. Then she walked to the car and hit it several times, making a dent in it.
Satisfied at the state the car is in, she hurriedly drops the stone far away from the scene and rushes to her car. She took out her phone to check for messages, but there was no message from Aiden.
As she was wondering why Aiden didn't call or text her, she remembered what she had just done. "Gosh! Silly me. It's better I leave before someone comes out," she muttered.
Then, she zoomed off.

As she drove away, she thought of how her life was going to be from now on. Suddenly, the beautiful ring on her finger caught her eye. She smiled, touching the ring gently.
Amidst all these troubles and torture, there was only one person who silently stood by her. He was her best friend elevated to the status of a boyfriend, and now he is finally her fiance.
He is her everything. The one who doesn't mind how chubby she looks or the numerous beauties around him. He is the Aiden Kings. He also comes from a wealthy family, just like her.
The only difference is that he is the only child and he is totally adored by his parents, unlike her. She was very surprised when he tried being friends with her years ago.
Most guys actually prefer being with Sheila. Sometimes, when her mind drifts to the past, she always wonders why he didn't go be friends with Sheila. Why did he choose her over Sheila?
Sharon brought out her phone and checked again. Surprisingly, there are still no text messages or phone calls from Aiden. "Maybe he is really busy today," she said to herself.
She understands that his being the only heir to his parents' companies means he will be extremely busy sometimes. "I'll just go over to his apartment and wait for him," she murmured, humming a soft song to herself.
"Hmm... Ah! Yes, that's the spot! You have to go faster! Oh God! I'm cumming!" These were the lewd sounds Sharon heard when she stepped into Aiden's penthouse.
She was really surprised to see the door unlocked when she came because Aiden is supposed to be at work now and no one else lives with him.
Walking into the sitting room only to find clothing scattered around the room, she panicked and silently prayed, hoping what she was thinking right now was wrong.
"Maybe one of his friends just came over to visit, and he forgot to inform me," she soliloquizes. But when she picked up one of the clothes and it turned out to be Aiden's favorite shirt, her face turned completely pale.
She immediately rushed to the bedroom where the sounds were coming from, and sure enough, Aiden was right on top of a lady who was completely naked. He was so engrossed in the hot sx that he didn't notice Sharon walking in.
Sharon stood at the door, shocked and confused at first. She even rubbed her face to make sure she was not seeing things. Then she gasped as she watched the two on the bed. Anger and hatred completely filled her heart slowly.
She rushed over to them and angrily hit Aiden with her bag. Aiden groaned from both pain and pleasure before he immediately stopped what he was doing.
The questions on Sharon's mind as she looked at him were: How could he have done this to her? She thought of what Benedict said at the company and gasped again. He cheated just before they finalized their wedding.
"You son of a bitch! How could you!?" She screamed, hitting him again with her bag again. Aiden withdrew from the lady and stood up, trying to evade her attacks.
"Babe, just calm down, okay? Calm down!" He said he was not even able to cover his nakedness. "Babe! Don't you dare to address me as babe! How dare you! After all we've been through together for all these years, you treat me like this!" She screamed, feeling immense pain in her heart.
She actually stopped hitting him and looked like she was about to cry. But she won't give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Aiden moved closer, trying to touch her.
"Babe, come on, don't cry. I don't want to see you cry," he said, touching her, but she shrugged his hands off her. "Aiden, why are you pleading? Let the bitch cry!" Sharon gasped as she heard the lady talk for the first time since she entered the room.
She shook terribly, looking at the lady in bed. "She...She...Sheila," she stuttered, unable to complete a sentence. Sheila smirked and stood up, wrapping the duvet around herself.
"What is it, bitch? Don't go about talking about how I cheated with your fiance, because Aiden was never and would never be yours," she said, moving closer to caress Aiden.
Aiden didn't even do anything to stop her. He only avoided looking directly into Sharon's eyes, subtly confirming that what Sheila is saying is really true.
"See this ring... He proposed to me, and very soon we'll be getting married after we welcome our first child," Sheila said, showing off the stunning ring on her finger while rubbing her stomach delicately.
'So she is already pregnant. How long have they been cheating behind my back?'Sharon thought as she clutched her chest tightly. Why would they do this to her? He could have just dated Sheila instead of deceiving her for so long. This heartbreak is too much to handle.
"Bitch better don't die here. You should get out and lock the door. Find somewhere else to die," Sheila answered, pulling Aiden back to bed.
Aiden turned to look at Sharon with a remorseful look. But Sharon missed his expression, as Sheila had already pushed him onto the bed and climbed on top of him.
They didn't even wait for her to leave before they started having sx again. Sharon couldn't take it anymore, so she ran out of the room. Oh! She didn't forget to lock the door like Sheila asked her to.
She locked both the bedroom and the main door and even took the keys with her. As soon as she got out, she threw the keys far away from the house. I think they landed in the stream nearby.
She then turned around and made the fk you sign.
'Fuck both of you. I hope you both suffocate in that room,' she thought as she walked away.

Present time
"Why won't this rain stop? Today is the worst day of my life," Sharon muttered, shivering from the cold, but she stubbornly refused to stand up from the bench. She bent her head and wept again.
The hooting sounds of the cars and noises from the passersby faded away as she slowly spaced out. She didn't even realize the cars passing were splashing mud on her. Neither did she realize how cold the weather is and how dark it is.
A few hours later, the rain had already stopped, but Sharon is still in the same position. People passed by every second, but no one even bothered to talk to her… No one bothered to ask the quiet, sad lady what happened.
A limousine passed by, and the occupants in it noticed Sharon. The bodyguard looked out of the window and asked, "What's she doing? Does she want to freeze to death?"
Around that time, there was little traffic on the road, so he could stare at Sharon all he wanted. He continued nagging about how careless she was to sit down on a bench in this cold weather without warm clothing on.
His boss finally got tired of his endless chatter and said, "Bring her in." The bodyguard was stunned at first, but when he received a cold glare from his boss, he quickly stood up.
The boss ordered his chauffeur to reverse, and the trail of cars following the limo also reversed.
The cars stopped in front of Sharon, but she didn't even notice them until the bodyguard came out of the car and made a loud sound, clearing his throat. Surprised, Sharon looked up to see the huge man standing in front of her.
It was then that she felt cold and noticed how late it was. She was about to say something, but the bodyguard spoke first: "Miss, my boss wants to see you." Then he said, "Follow me or die out here from the cold."
He then turned around to leave. Sharon gave him a puzzled look. Who is his boss? He sounds arrogant and cocky. Hell! Even the bodyguard behaves arrogantly.
Sharon didn't stand up, deciding she wouldn't follow the strange guy. The bodyguard returned just as he was about to open the car door and was surprised to see Sharon still sitting down obstinately.
He rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking of how impatient his boss must be right now. So he walked back to Sharon, bent down, and carried her over his shoulder roughly.
Sharon immediately screamed, "Put me down! Put me down this instant! This is illegal! It's called kidnapping!"
The bodyguard simply ignored her shouts and took Sharon to the limo. The man inside was able to hear the last statement Sharon made. He laughed coldly and asked, "Really? Who would believe that?"
Sharon gasped again as she recognized the man in the limo. What the heck is going on today? She did that thing by rubbing her eyes again to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
But it's really him!
He just rested his head on his hands, watching Sharon coldly and wondering why she's behaving this way.

Meanwhile, when Benedict came out to see his car bashed, he almost uprooted the whole company with his anger. He went to Porsche, shocked and not able to believe that it was his new car. He has not even finished paying for it yet.
He turned to look at the shaky employees behind him. No one dared look up at him. "Who among you did this!" He yelled, enraged.The employees shook their heads hurriedly, saying, "Not me, sir."
After many threats, the receptionist said, "Sir, after you came in, Sharon was the last person to leave." Benedict thought of it and believed her.
He then smiled coldly and said, "Seems like she hasn't learned her lesson yet. Making her jobless is not enough. Maybe when I make her homeless too, she will not dare to test my patience again."
He dismissed the staff, brought out his phone, and called someone. As soon as he ended the call, he smirked and said, "Sharon, you will come back to me soon begging for help."

Sharon looked at him again, stunned. Sitting in front of her is Jasper Madon. He's one of the most popular billionaires in the city. He has been trending lately on headlines because he recently just lost his wife and his legs to a tragic accident.
He uses a wheelchair. Sharon stared at him as she couldn't believe that she was sitting in front of the nation's husband.
Yes, even before the accident, tabloids and magazines have always tagged him along with the title of the nation's husband. Meaning he is the most sought after man in the city.
The tabloids may be right about him being coldhearted, but they forgot to add that he's also cocky and arrogant. He smirked at her coldly.
“What were you doing out there alone? Your clothes even look wet meaning you must have sat in the rain. What were you thinking?” he spoke slowly in an icy tone, emitting intense pressure on the other occupants in the car. Well, except Sharon of course.
Sharon frowned and answered, “I don't think that's your business Mister. Why have you asked your men to kidnap me? I didn't request your help! So let me go right now!”
The chauffeur was about to start driving away, but when he heard the angry lady's voice, he stopped confused about what to do. But as soon as he looked in the mirror and noticed the cold look on his boss' face, he immediately knew what to do.
Of course, Sharon saw all this and frowned. "Why is he doing the opposite of what she asked for?" He smiled and asked, "Who saw them kidnap you?”
Sharon immediately stopped shouting and looked out of the window. Everywhere is dark and there's no one in sight. So even if she wants to report this cocky man, no one will be able to assist her as there won't be any witnesses. That is if security will even believe her.
She suddenly panicked immediately thinking of begging him to release her. But then, with her stubborn personality, she refused to apologize for doing nothing. So instead, she started screaming for help while banging on the window loudly.
Jasper looked up feeling annoyed wondering if he made a mistake. The bodyguard that had literally forced Jasper to bring her in because of his complaints looked away in fear.
He dared not look at his face afraid to see the scary, cold and possibly annoyed look on his face. “Tch! So noisy,” Jasper said quietly. Sharon glared at him, her voice already raspy from shouting.
She was about to say something when his phone vibrated. Jasper glanced at the message and sighed. He suddenly looked so exhausted. Sharon swallowed what she wanted to say reluctantly, wondering why there is a sudden change in his expression.
She quit screaming and watched him lie back on the seat closing his eyes. Only after she had noticed the sudden sadness and exhaustion in his eyes.
★★★★★★
'Brother, Tia is crying nonstop again and Jimmy has refused to go to bed until he sees you,' this was the message Jasper read. It's from his younger sister, Lena. He sighed and closed his eyes.
Ever since Amber died in that fatal accident, he had to raise their two young children alone. It would have been difficult without Lena because during that accident he didn't only lose his wife, he also lost the use of legs.
Now he has to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Jimmy was a very understanding kid. He didn't even ask questions or say anything when he couldn't find his mother.
But it's really hard on Tia. She is just four months old and needs her mother's breast milk. He was contemplating getting a wet nurse for her, but Lena refused, saying she could take care of the baby herself.
But now he really should consider hiring a wet nurse as it's difficult for Lena to juggle between school activities and also take care of the kids.
He sighed again thinking, 'Amber why did you leave? I can't do this without you.' He closed his eyes and murmured, “Why did they do this to us? She didn't deserve this.” Sharon looked at him confused, “Who is he talking about?”
Neither he or Sharon said a word as the limo slowly drove away. Two quiet, broken hearts silently comforting each other.
★★★★★
As they arrived at their destination, Sharon gaped at the gigantic mansion amazed at the beauty and splendor of it. She couldn't stop staring at it. Even though she's from a rich family, the rich also have their own level.
We have the average class rich, the middle class rich and the high class rich. Sharon falls into the middle class rich even though she doesn't get to enjoy the benefits of wealth.
Jasper slowly opened his eyes seeing that the limo stopped. And the first thing he saw was Sharon staring out of the window with her mouth opened.
“Tch... Close your mouth or you might actually end up swallowing a fly. Besides, no one wants to see your yellow teeth,” he said, enjoying the change of expression on her face.
Sharon closed her mouth abruptly and turned to look at him. There was no sign of the sad or exhausted expression on his face earlier.
He's back to being cocky and arrogant. Let's add rude to the list. She looked at him. He has a handsome face like an angel, but beauty doesn't match with his characters at all.
She imagined herself beating him to a pulp right now and smiled happily because she was hitting him hard with a stick in her imagination. But then, he flicked his fingers in front of her and interrupted her happy thoughts.
“Why are you smiling that way? It doesn't suit your chubby face,” he remarked rudely. Sharon glanced at her smile on the window screen.
What does he mean? Her smile looks beautiful. She turned around and glared at him.
Before asking, “Why have you brought me here? Take me back right now!” Jasper rolled his eyes wondering who was just looking amazed right now and why she's pretending that she wants to go back.
Even after his accident made him unable to stand upright again, that fact didn't stop women from chasing him relentlessly. They still sent him numerous love letters and flowers that used to annoy Amber when she was alive.
Jasper smiled remembering the day Amber beat up one of his female staff just because she made coffee for him and put love designs on it. Meanwhile Sharon shivered watching Jasper smile while in deep thoughts. His smile is really scary right now. What the heck is he thinking about?
“You should frown more often. Smile doesn't suit your face because you like the joker right now,” Sharon spoke rudely.
Immediately she said that, it wiped off the smile on his face and replaced it with a frown. He looked at the rude woman opposite him and felt like yanking her hair so hard that she would cry out of pain.
He frowned and looked at his legs in regret. Sharon followed his point of view and instantly guessed what he was thinking. She smiled knowing no matter what she says or does, he can't do anything.
He glared at her and answered, “Watch what you say fatty. You should check your weight and go on a diet before insulting someone else.”
Sharon gasped and puffed up her cheeks angrily. ‘What a rude man? He dares to call me fatty.’ She already knows how chubby she is, so he doesn't have to rub it in her face.
“Being angry doesn't suit you. You look like a swollen puffed bun right now,” he said repeating what she had told him earlier.
Sharon gasped dramatically and pointed her finger at him, “You’re rude... Cocky...” She couldn't complete her statement cause the door suddenly opened and two hefty looking bodyguards helped Jasper into his wheelchair.
Sharon followed, not waiting or expecting anyone to invite her out. As they slowly walked towards the house, Sharon glanced at Jasper.
He looks so powerful sitting in the wheelchair. The cold expression on his face and his heavenly beauty makes him look just like a powerful sleeping lion. Just that in his case, he is sitting not sleeping.
★★★★★
“Babe! I think the door is jammed. I can't open it,” Sheila said as she tried opening the room door. She has dressed up already and is ready to go but she can't open the door.
Aiden walked out of the bathroom with only a towel and walked to the door. Sheila stared at him seductively and suddenly felt so wet looking at how yummy he looked.
Aiden looked at her and noticed the look on her face. He chuckled and said, “Babe don't give me that look. Unless you don't wanna leave this room today.”
Sheila pouted and replied, “It's not my fault that you look so delicious. I wanna eat you.” She whispered huskily when saying the last one. Aiden smiled and planted a quick kiss on her lips.
Then he tried opening the door. After a few trials he turned to her and said, “I think it's locked. It has never jammed before.” Sheila frowned, confused and suddenly thought of something.
“I swear I'm gonna kill that bitch when I next see her. She must have locked us in,” Sheila said angrily.
“Don't worry. I'll just call someone to come fix it,” Aiden said and went to pick his phone. He tried calling and suddenly realized that it was dead.
“Oh shit! My phone is dead. Babe can I have yours?” he asked and Sheila gave him her phone. He checked it and shouted, “No signal. Why is there suddenly no fking signal!”
Now Sheila starts to panic a little thinking of the fact that they may suffocate in the room.

As soon as Sharon and Jasper walked in, a slender beauty rushed towards them carrying a wailing baby. Sharon was taken aback.
She silently hit herself inwardly and whispered, “I'm such a fool. I just willingly followed him not even thinking about the possibility of him having a mistress. What if she starts a fight thinking I'm here to snatch her man?”
She was very surprised when the lady said, “Brother thank God you are back. I've fed her, changed her diaper, bathed her and even sang sweet lullabies to her but she won't stop crying.”
She walked around in a semi circle trying to pacify the wailing baby. “What do I do now? I have a date with Mac and I'm not even ready yet,” she panicked not even noticing Sharon.
“Calm down Lena. Just calm down. I'll call the nanny service right away and see if there's anyone available to watch Tia for tonight,” Jasper said, bringing out his phone.
“Let me carry her. I may not be good at many things but I'm good with babies,” Sharon said and Lena finally noticed her. She looked at Jasper, her eyes twinkling with mischief and amusement.
“Brother, you actually brought a lady home. She's so beautiful and...” She didn't finish when Jasper suddenly interrupted her.
“Shut up Lena. I thought you had a date. And she's not beautiful at all. She's rude and chubby. I only helped her,” Jasper remarked.
“You arrogant bastard. I didn't ask for your help,” Sharon replied, pulling his hair lightly.
Jasper winced in pain and said, “Hey watch it! No cussing in front of my daughter. I don't want your bad character to influence my princess.”
Lena, feeling amused, watched them banter about foolish pointless things. The baby seemed to have noticed that they ignored her, so she let out a loud scream followed by wails.
Her sudden loud cries immediately stopped those two from arguing. Even Lena was scared by her sudden outburst. “Shh... Shh... Shh… Baby don't cry,” she whispered, trying to pacify the baby who only increased the volume of her cries.
“Give her to me and get dressed,” Sharon said, collecting the baby from her. Lena hurriedly pecked the baby's cheek and ran upstairs to get dressed.
Sharon carried the tiny pretty baby and lay against her chest before patting her gently. She then began to sing low lullabies. Jasper watched in amazement as Tia slowly stopped crying and even started giggling.
He looked at Sharon, who was smiling while singing to Tia. It is actually surprising that Tia allowed her to even carry her cause ever since Amber's death, she wouldn't allow anyone to touch her.
Just crying profusely. It was only recently that she began to accept Lena carrying her. Even when the wet nurse wants to breastfeed her, she wouldn't accept it. That's one of the reasons why he didn't bother hiring wet nurses again.
Tia giggled again and Jasper lifted his beautiful hazel eyes to look at them. His heartbeat quickened just gazing at Sharon's enchanted face with the most beautiful smile plastered on it.
He's just realized that she actually looks more pretty with a smile on her face. She was quite pitiful earlier with dried tears and snot evident on her face. Now she's smiling so beautifully at Tia, who seems very happy to see the smile.
He lay back on his wheelchair obtaining a comfortable position then he observed Sharon quietly. She can't be considered as beautiful. Yet she isn't ugly. Well, he can't really say much about the baggy clothes she's wearing.
She is not tall. And she is a little bit chubby. Jasper shook his head at that thought. Nope! She is not a little bit chubby. She is very chubby. The only thing he likes about her right now is her beautiful smile that Tia seems to have fallen in love with.
Other than that, her other qualities are so horrible. He listed them in his head. She's so rude, sassy, and ungrateful. She kept on screaming for him to let her go when he only did her a favor. She looked like she didn't have anywhere to go back there and he only tried to save her from freezing to death.
He sighed and soliloquized, “This is what happens when you try to be good Jas. It's just better to keep your coldhearted reputation.” Sharon heard him mumbling and turned to look at him.
“What did you say grumpy?” she asked him. He frowned at her for calling him grumpy. “I wasn't talking to you fatty,” Sharon gasped pouting.
Jasper looked at her pouted lips and said,“ If that is what you call a cute pout, I'd rather kiss a duck instead of you.”
Sharon glared at him, “Who wants to kiss you anyway? I'll have to bend down to do so. Why stress myself?” Jasper looked down at his wheelchair and glared at her. Was he just praising her right now? He must have been made to do so.
This short lady makes his blood boil with anger that he feels like teaching that sexy little rude mouth of hers a lesson. Oh jeez! He just called her mouth sexy. What's going on?
They were about to start another war of shouting and taunting each other when Tia whined cutely. She seemed to have realized that someone stole Sharon's attention from her, so she protested softly. Sharon glared at Jasper and quickly turned back to the baby.
“Shhh honey don't cry. Don't mind daddy. He likes bullying me a lot. Shh baby don't cry,” she said softly trying to pacify the baby.
Jasper looked at her in disbelief and remarked, “Me! How did I bully you? Tia does daddy look like someone that can bully anyone?” He made a cute sad facial expression. Sharon shook her head at his shamelessness.
The baby started to cry loudly while pouting her lips sadly. She made a hungry expression with her small lips. Sharon turned to look at Jasper, “I thought your sister already fed her but now she's hungry again. Where's her bottle?”
“She won't take it. She's supposed to have breast milk during this time but she won't accept any of the wet nurses I hired for her,” Jasper said, shaking his head sadly. He watched her kiss Tia's forehead lovingly. An idea suddenly clicked in his head.
“Why don't you breastfeed her instead?” he said smugly, feeling proud of his idea. “What!” Sharon almost choked.

Benedict walked into the huge mansion whistling softly. A maid came forward and collected his briefcase while greeting him. He watched the maid go as her mini skirt swayed sideways.
Then he shook his head frowning at the fact that he was just looking at a maid lustfully. He walked into the main sitting room and was very relieved to see both parents there.
He didn't even notice the worried looks on their faces as he rushed forward to complain about what had happened today.
He greeted them and quickly said,“ Dad Sharon bashed my car. She has destroyed it so badly that I'll have to pay more money to repair it than how much I bought it.”
“That daughter of mine is really becoming a rogue nowadays. Why is she just causing trouble everywhere?” His father asked, frowning slightly. Benedict was very relieved to see his reaction.
“That's not the most important thing right now. I can't find my daughter!,” his mother shrieked and Benedict looked at her confused.
“Mom, what are you talking about?” he asked worriedly. His mother held his hands and said,“ Ever since Sheila left this morning, she hasn't returned or called. I tried calling but it's not going through.”
“Did she tell you where she was going?” Ben asked, hugging his mother. She shook her head to indicate NO. “I'll go find her right away mom.Please stop crying,” he said and kissed her forehead.
Then he walked out thinking, ‘There's only one place Sheila can be now and it's Aiden place.’

"What! I can't breastfeed her. I'm not a nursing mother, so how am I supposed to feed her?" Sharon answered, shocked by his sudden request.
"Just put your breast in her mouth and let her play with it or something. At least to stop her from crying," he said, and Sharon blushed hearing the word 'BREAST' from his mouth. Jasper smirked as he noticed her blush.
What is she thinking about making her face turn red like this? She turned to look at the crying baby and said, "I still don't think that's a good idea. Just tell me where the bottle is, and I'll try feeding her."
Jasper tapped his forehead, frustrated, and said, "I'm her father here, not you. What part of SHE WON'T TAKE IT! You don't understand."
Sharon glared at him and decided to try feeding her, even though there's little or no possibility that milk would actually come out. "I'm not doing it cause you asked me too. I'm only doing this because it hurts to watch this cute princess cry," she mumbled.
Then she sat down and was about to unzip her dress when she suddenly realized something.
She looked up, and sure enough, Jasper was staring at her keenly, not blinking. Immediately, he saw that she caught him staring and quickly looked away.
Sharon smirked and said, "You are so shameless. You pervert. I wonder who it was that said he would rather kiss a duck instead of me. Now he's eagerly waiting to see a glimpse of my bbs."
"Who? Me! I wasn't even looking at you. Just staring at Tia. And I'll never change the fact that I'd rather kiss a duck than you," he answered.
Sharon sighed; she had never met anyone as shameless as him. "I don't care. We both know you are lying, and I really don't care. Now turn around."
"What! Why?" he retorted.
"Can't you see the baby crying? Please turn around," Sharon begged, swallowing her pride.
He smiled and said, "Now that you are asking nicely for once. I'll turn around." So he turned the wheelchair around, and very soon he could hear loud slurps. Tia sucks greedily and really fast, making loud sounds.
Once again, Jasper is surprised that Tia actually sucked her breast after rejecting countless wet nurses. As he sat there waiting, his mind wandered away. He imagined himself sucking her nipples instead of Tia.
Would it be perky and pointed? Would it be very pinkish and swollen? Would her bbs be huge size or only a handful? He immediately shook his head before he could think of anything else lewd.
"Jeez! I can't believe I'm thinking of that fatty in such a way. What's come over me?" he asked himself. A few minutes later, the slurping sound was reduced, and Jasper was already getting tired of waiting. He was sick of thinking of lewd things.
"Sharon, aren't you done yet?" he asked grumpily.
"What do you mean by that? The baby is hungry. Let her eat to her heart's content. Stop being jealous," she answered.
"Why would I be jealous of your small sized breast? I've seen much more than that," he replied.
"You know what. You are the most arrogant, rude man I've ever met in my life," she retorted angrily.
"I bet you've never met guys like me before. What am I even saying? You've never met anyone like me before. I'm the nation's husband," he said.
Sharon breathed in deeply, trying to calm herself. The man is so infuriating. It's just better to ignore him. She smiled as she looked down at the adorable baby who was now sleeping. It actually feels strange to breastfeed a baby that is not hers.
She gently brushed off the baby's soft hair strands, and the baby sighed in satisfaction. As Sharon watched her, she remembered all that had happened today.
From losing her job to getting cheated on. She wiped off the tears escaping from her eyes. 'I won't waste any more tears on that bastard again.'
She looked at the baby and smiled, then she stared at Jasper with his back turned against her. 'His wife must have been so lucky. She's got a cute little baby like this and a husband that must have loved her.'
She gently releases Tia's mouth from her breast as Tia is fully asleep. She wondered if any breast milk even came out as she was slurping on it excitedly.
"Papa! You're back!" The sound of someone sitting in the wheelchair jolted Sharon out of her reverie. She looked up and saw a young boy, probably about seven or six, sitting on Jasper's lap.
The boy looks just like Jasper. But instead of soft brown hair, he has golden hair. He probably got it from his mother. She stared at the cute little boy in adorable pajamas and thought, 'That arrogant bastard is really lucky. Why are his kids so cute? I feel like running away with one of them.
She then looked at the little princess in her arms. The baby is pouting. "Papa, where have you been? I missed you. I kept telling Tia to stop crying, but she wouldn't listen," he said with a cute pout.
Sharon smiled as she watched him complain to his father, who silently listened. He suddenly stopped talking and looked at his father, "Papa I don't see Aunt Lena or Tia anywhere. I can't even hear her crying."
Jasper was about to respond when he abruptly rose from his lap and looked around the room.He finally noticed Sharon and frowned.
"Papa, who is this and why is she carrying Tia? She looks fat, just like a pig," he said rudely, and Jasper laughed, not reprimanding him.

When Benedict walked to Aiden's penthouse, he was surprised to see the penthouse locked. He knocked over and over again but got no response.
He was surprised. "She should be here," he thought, and turned around to leave. But suddenly he heard faint voices. He called out his sister's name and heard the faint voices again. He quickly called for someone to come help him open the door.
Sheila looked exhausted and famished as he finally let them out. "She has to eat something now. She must be hungry," Aiden said, leading her into the sitting room.
Ben wondered how long they had been there. "Sheila, who did this to you?" he asked and she managed to cough out, "It's Sharon."
That bitch again!
★★★★★
Sharon frowned and thought, 'I must have been blind before. What a cute boy! He is just a mean little boy. He is as arrogant as his father.'
"Papa, I need answers right now!" he shouted with a cold expression. Sharon noticed that the cold expression on his face is similar to that of his father.
Jasper chuckled, and Sharon glared at him. He can't even chastise his son for being impolite when he is impolite himself. Jasper looked at the expression on her face knowing that she was thinking of something bad about him.
He grinned, 'I don't care. She doesn't think of anything good about me anyway.' He even did a highfive with his son to show that he's proud of what he just said.
"Dad! Who is this fatty?" Jimmy asked again and Jasper grinned. This is really his son. He even said the correct nickname.
"Jimmy, she is..." Jasper trailed off realizing that he doesn't even know her name. Shit! He didn't ask for her name. He looked at Sharon and shouted, "Fatty, what's your real name?"
Jimmy opened his mouth slightly agape, "For real dad, you don't know her name! And you brought her home. You brought a strange woman... No, not a woman... A strange fatty home!"
Sharon's frown deepened. Why are they talking about her as if she isn't present? She glared at Jasper. He was telling her not to cuss in front of the baby. That he doesn't want her to badly influence his daughter. But who is influencing who now? He has totally taught his son his rude and arrogant ways.
She imagines the boy's future right now. An arrogant billionaire who is also a playboy. In the future, he will act and speak rudely to women.She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't even realize they were asking her questions.
"Dad, why is fat looking that way? She's very scared right now," he said and Jasper looked at Sharon wondering why she had a scowl on her face. She must be thinking of something bad about him again.
"I said before that a smile on your face is horrible but this scowl on your face is even worse," he retorted, his harsh tone shrugging Sharon out of her thoughts.
"Shut up! Anytime you open your mouth, I always have a headache. It's such a pity that God gave you a handsome face," Sharon replied, feeling annoyed.
Jasper smirked, "So now you admit that I'm handsome. Tell me something I don't know darling... Thought that was a mistake. I mean fatty. Who would call a fatty like you darling?"
Jimmy rolled his eyes wondering why the adults are behaving childishly. As he watched them bicker, he sighed and hit his head. "Dad, I'm so disappointed in you right now!" As they heard his voice, they stopped bickering.
He then turned to look at Sharon. Smiling sweetly, he asked, "What is your name?" Sharon looked at him suspiciously. His smile... This is the first time he has smiled since he entered. ‘What is this little devil planning now?’
"Sharon. You are such a cute little..." Sharon couldn't finish her statement because he interrupted. "Sharon? What a beautiful name?! Such a waste on a fatty like you!" Jimmy retorted.

Sharon frowned as she heard what Jimmy said. This naughty boy called her name a waste. She had guessed right when the little devil was smiling sweetly that he was up to something. This boy looks young enough to be aged seven or eight, yet he behaves this rudely towards his elders.
“Forget what I said earlier. You are not cute at all. You are so rude, just like your dad. How do people cope with you?” she remarked feeling very annoyed.
“I don't care! My girlfriends like me that way,” he answered. Sharon gasped and Jasper looked at his son.
“What do you mean girlfriends? You are just seven!” Jasper asked, astonished. Jimmy rolled his eyes. “Dad, which girl can resist me? I've got the looks, charm and lastly money,” he answered making a COUNTINGMONEY expression with his hand.
Sharon hit her head lightly. This man is such a disgrace to fatherhood.
How does a little boy of seven years already know about things like kisses ?.
Sharon shook her head negatively, “Jasper you are a bad influence. Look at what you've taught your son.” Jasper glared at her.
“Where is the nursery?” Sharon asked as she checked the clock. She was surprised to see it's already so late. “Follow me,” Jasper said, leading the way.
Sharon quietly shut the door. At first, when she put the baby in her cot, she whined and Sharon had to pat her gently. She smiled and kissed the baby but Jimmy scowled.
“Don't kiss her!” he retorted. “Shhh, don't wake her up,” Sharon hurriedly shushed him. He frowned and tried to suppress a yawn.
“Now go to bed. You have school tomorrow,” she whispered as they walked out. Jimmy was about to say something but Jasper had to agree with Sharon on this.
“Yes, Jimmy goes to bed. It's late already,” Jasper said and Jimmy nodded. Before leaving he turned to Sharon and said, “Fatty, don't think I'm leaving because of you. I'm going because dad asked me to do so.”
As he ran away, Sharon uttered, “What a rude little boy? Jasper, you are such a bad influence.” Jasper glared at her, “Shut up.” He is getting sick of hearing the word 'bad influence.' Sharon suddenly felt hungry and decided it's time for her to leave.
“Now that my job is done, I'm going,” she said and walked towards the door. She was expecting Jasper to say stuff like, 'I'll ask my driver to take you home. Or stay until it's too late to go.'
But instead he said, “Okay bye. I'm glad you are finally leaving fatty. You've been nothing but a nuisance since I helped you.”
Sharon stopped feeling slightly hurt not even knowing why. She looked down at her dirty baggy dress. Why does everyone always criticize her body size? She blinked back the stupid tears threatening to fall.
Was this why Aiden cheated on her? “Okay,” her voice was so quiet that Jasper almost didn't hear. As she opened the door, he said, “Yes, go and freeze out there tonight. Are you really that dumb fatty? Where are you gonna find a taxi at this hour?”
Sharon turned back surprised. Then she smiled cheekily saying, “Why don't you just say you don't want me to leave?” Jasper rolled his eyes and showed her the way to the guest rooms.
Then he left quickly, afraid that if he spent any more minutes with her, his ears would burst from her endless chatter.
“She caught the two of you, right?” Ben asked as he watched Sheila eat hungrily. His heart was brewing with intense anger. His sister is pregnant and that bitch almost killed her with hunger.
“Yes. It's even better she found out now because of my baby. I don't want my baby to be born out of wedlock,” she answered, taking sequent mouthfuls of the food.
“What are you gonna do now? She might tell her father. He won't be happy to hear what you have done,” he said, handing over a glass of water to her.
“Father won't do anything. Besides, I'll tell him the truth. She's the one that tried to take away my boyfriend, not the other way round. Who do you think father will believe? I'm pregnant while she... She has never even been to bed with him before,” Sheila retorted.
Benedict smirked and looked up as Aiden brought more food for Sheila. He brought out his phone and said, “I'll still make her pay for doing this.”
He sent a message and groaned when he received a reply.
“Brother, what is it?” Sheila asked concerned.
“I prepared a surprise for her at home but she's not there yet. I wonder where the bitch is by this time,” he replied and Sheila smiled.
“No matter where she went to, she'll always come back. So we just have to wait a little bit,” Sheila uttered with an evil smile on her face.
Later that night Sharon laid on the queensize bed fiddling with the engagement ring on her finger. She sighed thinking of everything that had happened. Jasper and Jimmy had been helpful to her once today.
They helped her forget the sad incidents that happened to her. Now that she's alone, the memories came rushing back. She wiped off her tears and said, “Why did they do this to me?” From a young age even when Sheila did something wrong, she would try to cover up for her.
Though she still always got blamed before she could do anything. Once when they were teenagers, Ben fell so sick that everyone was scared he would die. Even though he had always maltreated her, he is still her brother. Her only brother whom she loved dearly.
The one she has always been yearning for love from. She didn't sleep a wink for three days helping the nurses in taking care of him since no one wanted to do so. Then she collapsed. When she woke up, she was excited to hear that he was finally awake but she didn't expect to receive cold treatment from him.
After all she had done, who knows what Sheila said to him to make him act that way. Why would her brother have so much hatred for her? She stood up from the bed and checked the mirror. “Am I really adopted?” Her low voice resounded in the room.
Questions but no... No answers.
She glared at the ring and went to the bathroom to throw it into the toilet. Then she paused and looked at the toilet. “This toilet is so beautiful. I can't throw this ugly ring into it and soil its beauty.”
'So you just found out that it's ugly. You were screaming loudly when he gave you,' that voice said. You know the voice that always speaks in your mind. Your subconscious.
Meanwhile, in the masters bedroom, Jasper was on his bed holding a picture of a stunning South American beauty. She's smiling beautifully in the picture.
Jasper smiled and stroked the picture lightly, “You know what Amber? I met a fatty today. Don't ask me if I like her cause I don't. She's rude, ugly well maybe a little pretty and she's chubby. I wish you were here right now. You could have met her and maybe liked her. I miss you a lot, best friend. Do you miss me too?”
He stopped, tears clogging his throat. “I couldn't save you that day Amber and I regret it everyday of my life. You were right. I don't love you. I've never loved you. I don't have a place in my heart for love. But you were my best friend. You were always there for me. At least I could have saved you for Tia. She's always crying...”
He continued mumbling until he gradually fell asleep. Sharon also fell asleep hugging a pillow tightly. Two hearts coming closer, yet there's an immeasurable distance.
“What! No dad we don't need this fatty,” Jimmy shouted. Tia had woken them up with her loud cries this morning and Sharon was able to stop her from crying. Now Jasper is saying she should stay till Lena returns.
And the best part is that he'll pay. But one short little devil doesn't want to agree. Sharon sighed and looked at Jimmy. He is so cute in his uniform that many people that see him will think he's a sweet little boy, but only Sharon knows that he's nothing but a short little devil.
“I'm not talking about you. Tia needs her,” Jasper replied and Jimmy tiptoed to look at Tia who is in her high baby carrier. He asked her with a surprisingly soft voice, “Tia you don't need her, do you?”
But the baby turned to look at Sharon and giggled softly at her smile. Jimmy looked like a deflated balloon. “Maybe Tia needs her but I don't! Where's my aunt Lena?” he retorted.
To be continued…
Chapter 7 Preview
Jasper looked at his watch,“ Why isn't she back from her date yet?” Sharon hit her head lightly. This man is just handsome but he's dumb. What does he expect will happen on a date?
“Dummy don't you want her to get cozy with her boyfriend?,” Sharon remarked totally forgotten about Jimmy's presence. Jasper glared at her and quickly covered Jimmy's ears.
“Dad I know what she mean, okay? I'm seven not a kid anymore. I know all about kisses and stuffs,” Jimmy answered. Sharon and Jasper looked at him surprised.
“What do you mean? You are too young for that!,” Jasper said and Sharon glared at him,“ You really need to be sued for your bad parenting skills.”
“Dad don't worry, I haven't tried it yet!,” Jimmy said as he walked out of the room. “ What do you mean not yet!? Come back here little brat!,” Jasper yelled. But Jimmy already walked out.
Sharon turned to face Tia,“ Honey look at your dad. He's just handsome but can't even teach your brother good morals.” She looked up and saw Jasper boiling with anger.
She quickly carried the baby and ran out of the kitchen even though she knows he can't chase her. Jasper looked at his wheelchair in regret,“ One day I'll teach you a lesson. A very good lesson that you deserve.”
Few minutes later, Sharon walked back to the kitchen. Tia is now asleep. She went to the kitchen cabinet to find food ingredients to prepare as she is now very hungry.
She needed spices but couldn't find it. After searching, she finally found a jar of spices but she is too short to reach it as it is ontop of a shelf. So she took a stool and stood on it but she still couldn't reach it. She kept on jumping until she finally got it. But the thing is, as she touched the jar , she missed a step and fell.
Jasper was passing by when he noticed Sharon in the kitchen cooking. 'She actually has the guts to enter my kitchen like it's hers,' he thought slowly steering his wheelchair towards the kitchen.
He saw all the scenario of her trying to reach the spices jar but couldn't do anything to help. When he saw her falling, he had to do something. He doesn't why he suddenly rushed towards her and she ended up falling on his laps.
She screamed and he groaned cause she landed heavily on his laps. She slowly opened her eyes and saw him facing her directly. She looked at him surprised and relieved that she did not fall on the floor.
“Don't you know you have weight. Get up from my laps right now. This isn't all those reality shows where the male leads kisses the female leads after catching them in their arms. I'm not kissing you,” he uttered harshly.
Sharon frowned and swallowed the 'thank you' she was about to say. “ Apparently you didn't catch me in your arms meanie,” she replied sassily. She stood up and looked at his legs before looking at him suspiciously.
“How are you able to feel my weight ? Are your legs supposed feel any pain ?,” she asked and a nervous look appeared on Jasper's face.
“What are you talking about fatty? Have you checked yourself in the mirror for once. Even if my legs can't feel any pain, I can see that you have weight,” he remarked immediately.
Sharon seem to be convinced by his explanation as she thought of it. She turned around and didn't notice the relief on Jasper's face.
“ Now can you move out of the kitchen? I need to cook,” she said turning back to him.
“What do you mean move out? This is my kitchen and I'll stay if I want to. You don't have the right to command me,” he retorted.
Sharon sighed and hit her head lightly. What was she thinking, asking this rude man to move out of the kitchen? She glared at him and walked away.
Jasper followed her closely and watched her cook. It seems like she can cook. “Hmm... Maybe she's not that bad after all,” he thought as he could smell the delicious aroma coming from the food.
Suddenly Tia woke up and starts to cry. Sharon panicked and quickly removed her apron. “ Switch off the cooker. I'll be right back,” she said. She seem to have forgotten that he's on a wheelchair so he can't do it.
When Sharon came back with Tia in a baby carrier, she met the cooker off and remembered what she had said earlier. She looked at Jasper suspiciously.
“Are you sure you are not hiding anything?,” she asked.
“ What! You said I should switch off the cooker and I did just that,” he answered.
“If you can't walk meaning you can't stand, then how did you switch it off?,” she asked adjusting the baby carrier so Tia is able to rest on her chest well.
The baby sighed in pleasure and slept. Sharon kissed her forehead and glared at Jasper. “ I'm still waiting,” she said.
Jasper walked to the front of the cooker and stretched his hand to touch the switch. “ See this is how I switched it off. I simply stretched my hand,” he retorted looking very annoyed.
Sharon smiled and walked to him then she pat his hair gently and said,“ Good boy.” Jasper opened his mouth surprised and then glared at her. She was about to walk away but he pulled her closer back to him. She almost fell on him again.
“ Seriously... If you fall on me, I'll think you are playing the same trick again and perhaps you really want me to kiss you,” Jasper said cheekily.
“ Who wants to kiss you? Who wants to fall on you? Don't think so highly of yourself. Other guys catch ladies in their arms but you used legs and you are claiming I want to kiss you. In your wildest dream, now let me go!,” she said trying to free herself from Jasper's grasp.
But he refused to let her go. “ You'll pay for what you just said,” he uttered then pulled her again making her fall on his laps with the baby still on her chest. Tia whined cause she felt uncomfortable but Jasper did not care.
He simply put his hands around Sharon making sure she isn't able to escape.
“Oh my poor baby! Where have you been?,” Sheila heard her mom's voice as soon as she walked into the huge mansion. Ben held her hand as if encouraging her to go forward and say what she wants to say.
“Mom I missed you. I was so scared that I wouldn't see you again,” she said rushing into her mother's arms. Her mother looked scared to hear what she said.
She hugged her and kissed her forehead. “ Why would you say so baby? Where have you been?,” she asked her daughter again.
Sheila burst into tears and cried out,“ Mom I got into a little argument with sister so she locked me up in a room for hours.”
Her mother frowned remembering that Ben also complained about Sharon bashing his car. What the heck is wrong with that girl? “ Where is she? Call her right away. How dare she do this to you!? Does she want to kill you!?,” her mother rants.
Sheila was smiling discreetly until her father asked,“ What did you do to her?”
That statement wiped off the smile on her face completely. She was not expecting her father or anyone to ask questions. She turned to look at Ben and he nodded encouragingly.
She took in a deep breath and said,“ Father, I'm pregnant.”
“What!!!,” her mother shrieked loudly.
Aiden stood by his window screen watching the stars. He suddenly thought of everything that happened today. He never wanted to date Sharon but Sheila begged him to do so.
Then, he had been confused on why she would beg her boyfriend to date her sister. She had claimed she didn't like the way her sister was lonely but he always knew there was something else to it. And he was proven right today.
“Let me go right now. Can't you see the baby isn't comfortable!?,”Sharon said wiggling on his laps. Tia whined again and Sharon pat her slowly.
As soon as the baby falls asleep again, she turned to glare at Jasper. “ What are you doing? Let go of me,” she whisperyell to him.
But Jasper just ignored and even pulled her closer that now she can feel his hot breath on her face.
Chapter 8 Preview
Sharon gulped suddenly feeling nervous. She wondered what Jasper is planning to do. He removed a stray strand of hair blocking her view and then moved his lips to brush against hers slightly.
Sharon was momentarily stunned as she felt the warm and light sensation on her lips. She got lost in thoughts as she licked her lips and chew it. Jasper sudden laughter brought her out of her reverie.
“You should see your face right now. It's completely pale from just a tiny little peck. I thought you were screaming just now that you don't want to kiss me but your reaction right now is saying the opposite,” he taunts her.
Sharon glared at him frowning before she cleaned her lips. “ I don't care about that stupid peck. So now let me go,” she mumbled grumpily.
“ I'm not holding you,” he smiled cheekily. Sharon looked down and saw that he's really not holding her anymore. This jerk! He dares play her like this. She'll get back at him for doing this.
She stood up and dished out only her own food refusing to give him food. As she ate at the dinning, Jasper looked at her food and wanted to ask for his but seeing the angry look on her face, he quickly kept quiet.
As his stomach grumbled, he sighed and pat it gently. “ Maybe we should try acting nice sometimes, Jas,” he said softly.
Sharon was looking at him. She smirked at the sad expression on his face. Next time he'll think twice before behaving rudely to any other lady.
But she isn't mean so she gave him food only after she had finished with hers. Even so, he didn't say thank you.
Jasper was watching a documentary on the TV when Sharon walked in. She was cooing at Tia who babbled cutely. As soon as she sat down, she took the remote.
“Jeez! You are such a boring person. How can you watch a documentary as boring as this and you don't fall asleep?” she said changing the channel.
Jasper grumbled in protest but she changed it. She simply ignored him. Few minutes later, they are both shouting at each other.
Jasper is shouting because he doesn't know if Sharon's voice is supposed to be louder than the TV or the other way around. Every second, she shouts when an exciting scene is going on in the group.
While Sharon is arguing cause he won't let her enjoy the movie just complaining every minute.
“Must you shout everytime? You are so noisy,” he retorted. Sharon rolled her eyes.
“ Why don't you let me watch the movie in peace. I'm sure you are doing this because I changed the channel,” she answered.
“ I don't really care cause I can just watch it on my phone,” he said.
“ Then keep quiet and let me watch the movie in peace. Can't you see that the handsome male lead is about to kiss the female lead?,” she replied.
“Love... Kiss... Sx... That's what you all ladies know,” he said.
Sharon stood up and put Tia on the chair. Then she stalked towards him. Jasper gulped and steered his wheelchair backwards.
“ What are you doing?,” he asked nervously moving backwards as she came forward. Sharon smiled in a funny way that made his heart skip a beat.
No, don't assume things. It's not the one that your heart skips a beat cause you saw or you are with someone you love or like. This one is purely from anxiousness and shall I say fear.
It's funny. The one headlines describes as a cold and arrogant billionaire actually looks terrified of a lady in his very own sitting room. If the paparazzi were to capture this sight, then his reputation is gone for good.
Sharon walked towards him like she's possessed and Jasper's wheelchair finally hits the wall with nowhere else to go. Don't you think this is silly? Most times, this always happens when a guy is about to kiss a lady and she moves backward before finally getting trapped with nowhere else to turn to.
But in this case, it's a grown man in wheelchair that's trapped against the wall and a pschyo looking lady stalking after him.
She finally got to where he is and is about to do what she has always dreamed of doing many times since she saw him. No... No... It's not to kiss him. It's to hit his head and reset his brain.
She picked up a vase and raised it up about to hit him when the door suddenly opened.
“Brother I'm home!!!,” Lena shouted as she walked into the sitting room. She stopped in her tracks when she saw what is going on in the sitting room?
She looked at the vase in Sharon's hand and Jasper obviously frightened expression.
“What's going on here?,” she asked arching her eyebrows in suprise.
“What!!! How!!!When!!! Who!!!,” Mrs Winston shrieked hearing what her daughter just said. How could this girl try to disgrace her like this after how she has always prioritize her over Sharon.
“Mom don't worry, the father of the baby has agreed to take responsibility,” Sheila answered making her mom's expression relax a little.
“ Who is he?,” her father asked coolly. “ Dad it's Aiden,” she dropped the bombshell. Her mother opened her mouth slightly agape, even her father looked at her incredulously.
“Which Aiden are you talking about?,” he asked still feeling skeptical of his daughter's word.
“ Dad, it's the same Aiden we all know. It's Aiden Kings,” Benedict spoke for the first time since they came in.
“So you also know about it and you kept quiet. Have you forgotten Sharon is engaged to be married to Aiden? How could you do this Penny?,” Mr Winston asked looking slightly annoyed
“ Dad that shtty wedding is never going to happen. And I didn't steal Aiden from her, he was always mine,” she answered and her father sat on the sofa looking a little bit exhausted.
“Sheila can you even hear yourself? Even if I don't have any issues with this, how will I explain to people?,” he asked
Everyone in the room looked at themselves.
Jimmy walked into the house and was surprised to meet Tia crying. Lena is carrying her and trying to pacify her but she wouldn't stop.
Jasper passed the baby bottle to her and she tried to feed the baby but it seems like she just made her wails worse.
“ How did Tia suddenly become adpated to her? I only left for one night,” Lena complained walking around, pacifying the baby.
“ I guess babies find her lovable,” Jasper said sighing at the sight of Tia crying profusely.
Jimmy looked around searching for someone but he couldn't find her so he asked,“ Hello aunt... Hi Dad, where's fatty?”
“She has left for...,” Jasper couldn't even finish his statement as he watched Jimmy dance happily. He looked at him. He seems very happy to hear her leave.
“ But she'll be back soon,” he burst Jimmy's bubble. The cute boy stopped dancing immediately and turned to look at his father.
“Why? Why is she coming back? I don't want that fatty,” he cried out.
“ Shut up Jimmy, don't be rude. Can't you see that Tia needs her. She has been crying ever since Sharon left,” Lena said trying to feed the baby her bottle but she refused.
Jimmy sighed, carried his bag and turned to walk away. But Jasper called him and whispered something into his ears. Then he burst into laughter.
Lena looked at the two of them suspiciously. Jimmy covered his lips since his father said it's a secret. He walked to his room quickly.
“What did you tell him, brother?,” she asked curiously.
“ Ain't gonna talk,” Jasper replied turning away.
What he actually said was that 'ONCE SHE'S HERE, WE'LL PRANK HER AND TROUBLE HER TOGETHER.'
As the chauffeur got to Sharon's house, she got down and thanked him. He bowed smiling and went to look for a suitable place to park since he has been instructed to wait for her.
Sharon took in a deep breath as she looked at the small apartment in front of her. She still can't believe she will be leaving this place. But it's for the best. Now that she's jobless, she knows it would have take much time to get another one.
Cause with Benedict's current influence, she may never even get another job. But that arrogant man, Jasper has offered her a job with a pay she can not resist.
She smiled as she thought of what of had happened back there.
Flashback
She was not really gonna hit the vase on that rude Mr grumpy. She only wanted to scare him and it had worked perfectly.
She was greatly pleased to see the scared expression he desperately tried to hide. That was until Lena walked in and saw the position they are in.
She had quickly returned the vase and tried to explain.
“What's going on here?,” Lena asked arching her eyebrows in suprise.
“Nothing... It's not what you think,” Sharon said quickly so that Lena won't misunderstand the situation.
Jasper looked at her incredulously. “ What do you mean it's not what she thinks!!!? Lena it is what you thought. It is... She just tried to hit the vase on my head.”
