chapter 3

The kiss came to an abrupt end as Emelia screamed. Chris held her tightly, as it was obvious she could beat them up if he let go.

Lucy blinked twice. "Who brought that thing into this place? And how did she know your name? "

Steve's expression was as if nothing had even happened. "Just one of them, you know. Let's just get out of here quickly. I am aching to have you more. " Emelia, He licked his lips seductively and winked at Emelia, who was very pissed off at the scenario before her.

Chris finally let her go, as they had already left.

"Was he the one?"

"Yeah, and I am upset!" I just knew he wasn't suitable for Lola at the very beginning. What do I do to stop this, Chris? Steve never loved her from the start, and it's very obvious now. What do we do? Emelia said, almost crying. How could she ever tell Nora what she saw today?

"Hey babe, be calm. We are going to find a solution to this. Just be calm".

Chris's words soothed her nerves as she embraced him.

Jimmy stared blankly at the old man before him. What were they doing in his dad's private room?

Three bodyguards walked into the sitting room and bowed to Grandpa Davis.

"We have sealed everything as you've asked us to."

"That's a good one at that. Go to rest. "

They bowed again and left.

Jimmy turned to him.

"Grandpa, wouldn't Dad get so angry about everything you are doing?"

Grandpa smiled. "Well, I want him furious to the extent of getting a daughter-in-law for me. I am getting older second after second, and I can't die without seeing your siblings."

Jimmy gasped, and Grandpa chuckled.

"Is that why you want Dad to marry again?"

Grandpa sighed. The resemblance hit him hard once again. Should he take Jimmy far away from Jason so he could set his life right again? He knew that just by looking at Jimmy, his son would never want to be with another woman. Jimmy had a striking resemblance to Elena.

"Yes and no as well. Aren't you tired of staying here alone? You need a mother, Jim, and your father isn't ready to get my point. It's been years already, and he is still adamant. That's why I just have to do this."

"I hope after this threat, Dad will get a cool mom for me. I would love to have one. " Jimmy's face glowed with happiness.

Hours later, Jason was back home fuming, as expected. Jimmy had fallen asleep on the sofa already.

"Dad, what are you trying to get me to do by all this?! I was almost arrested at the park today. "

"Jas, it has always been simple and clear. Get yourself a wife and a mother for Jim. I didn't raise you as an only child, so Jim isn't enough in this mansion. It's been years already. Don't get yourself glued to the past anymore."

Jason sat. "I have told you that I can't and will never get someone anymore. Do you want the lady to get hurt at the end, only to realize I have never loved her all my life? If you need kids to talk to, Vanessa and Tim have made you happy already. So stop bugging and threatening me, Dad, because I won't succumb to your wishes."

He stood up to leave. Grandpa held him back.

"Get yourself healed, son. There are too many great things in life for you to miss. Don't let Jim be void of the love of a mother. He needs it even if he can't tell you a word. Think more about him than yourself."

Grandpa kissed Jimmy's forehead and left.

Jason inhaled deeply as his dad's words came ringing in his head. Trailing his son's face with his hands on the sofa, he knew he had to forfeit his selfishness and his past. Elena had now become a thing of the past, and he had to forget about her even if he didn't want to. He just had to.

Jimmy stirred, his eyes open, smiling. Taking another look at his dad, his expression changed.

"What have you been thinking, Dad?" Your eyes look so sad."

"Nothing serious, boy. Just in thoughts of everything your grandpa has said. "

"Uhm. Dad. Take your time to decide. I am not in a rush to become a mother, even if I would have loved to, but your happiness matters a lot to me. I will wait till you make your own very decisions, and I am sure Mom would be really happy up there to see you taking the right steps for our family."

Jason soon found tears in his eyes at just the words of his son. "Where the hell did I get you? He smiled.

Jimmy giggles. "Right from mom's belly."

Laughter was heard.

Lola stared at the computer before her. Why was it so hard for her to concentrate today? She flipped up the files on her table, remembering she had a meeting to attend with her boss.

The intercom buzzed.

📞Appointment by 7 pm tonight. Don't be late. The flight ticket would be sent by 6 a.m., and you would be back before midnight to prepare for your festivity.

Lola replied.

📞Noted.

Should she just phone the bastard and apologize as she usually does, or should she just prove a little bit stubborn? A reminder rang in her head, and she remembered that tomorrow was the day she had always been waiting for. She should just let her pride down and make up for their last argument.

As she dialed his number, she had a change of thought. Visiting him, surprisingly, would be the best shot. Who knows what he might be doing at the moment? She smiled.

Halting her car at his apartment, she made finishing touches on her face and walked right into the house. She found it rather strange that everywhere was so quiet.

Putting her bag down and rushing upstairs to check on him A moaning sound abruptly interrupted her steps. Could she be hearing things from afar now? She shrugged off the thoughts and walked closer to his room. Giving the door a little push, she received the shock of her life.
