Chapter 86
Jennifer
When I got outside Elijah was waiting for me “I’ve called a taxi Elijah.” “I’m taking you home get in.” “No!” “Jennifer please you are angry with boss not me, please get in.” When he said please I decided not to take out my bad mood on Elijah it was Romeo I was angry with. He took my bags while I got in the car. That’s when I start to think, Romeo said we will sort everything out at home and my father won’t win but he did he got exactly what he wanted me and Romeo splitting up. I couldn’t believe Romeo fell right in his trap. That just made me cry all over again. My father always gets what he wants no matter what it takes. This time it was probable my own fault I stood up to him and decided not to care about his opinion anymore, if I still wanted the business, I would still be in Romeo’s arms tonight but I had to stand up to him for once in my life making me loose the one person I didn’t want to lose.
I didn’t even notice we where already at my place. Elijah opened the door for me and helped me with my bags. “Thank you, Elijah, thank you for helping me with Kyle and removing Francesca I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me in this short time.” “Why does it sound like you saying goodbye to me?” Elijah asked. “Because I am, Romeo and I are over you won’t be driving me around anymore.” “You might be over but I still have orders to drive you around Jennifer and keep you safe.” “Oh no you don’t I’m done with Romeo which means I’m done with everything that involves him.” “Sorry Jennifer I can’t go against my bosses wishes.” “Well then you just have to follow me because I will not get in the car with you again.” Then I took my bags and walked to my apartment. I could hear him following me he probable has orders to make sure I was safely in my apartment. When I got to the door, he took my arm and pulled me gently to one side. “I’ll go in first.” I didn’t say a word I just moved out of the way. He went in and came back out. “All clear.” “Thank you, Elijah.” He turned around and walked out of apartment leaving me alone. As soon as the doors closed, I started to cry. I took my bags to my room fell on the bed and just cried. I’m very sure I cried myself to sleep.
Romeo
I went to my room and all I could smell was Jennifer. I couldn’t believe I let her leave. I went to sit on my bed still smelling her. When my head got quiet, I realized I just gave Brad exactly what he wanted. “Fuck Romeo your idiot.” I said out loud to myself. I couldn’t believe I was that stupid. Brad and Francesca are probable laughing their asses of because both of them knew how I will react. It didn’t matter what I said in front of them what did matter was what I did when I got home. But to be honest I didn’t know Jenn will feel that strongly about not wanting the business. I was prepared to marry her for her not to lose her birth right but if she didn’t care about it then why should I? I tried to tell myself that but to be honest I did care. I cared about her, she crawled into my heart in someway I don’t know when it happened but she did. ‘That is why you should stay away Romeo; she will be able to hurt you. Stay away.’ I told myself over and over again. I called Elijah to make sure she got home safely. I told myself it because I just wanted her safe and it has nothing to do with how I felt about her. I knew Kyle was out of the way and he won’t be able to hurt her anymore so she was supposed to be safe. I got up and got dressed in my PJ’s that’s when I saw the file lying on the floor clearly, she forgot about it. I took the file to bed and start to read through her business plan, I saw the property she was looking at was one of mine but the rent was too high. If it wasn’t for the rent the business will do great at that spot. I made a mental note to phone the realtor and reduce the rent. If I can’t marry her, I can help her to grow her business, if she will accept it is a whole other story because clearly, she knew it was my property or else she would have told me about it already. I was very impress with her business plan, she was definitely a very clever girl. I fell asleep with her file on top of me.
I had the worse nightmares something I’ve never had before and the main character in my dreams was Jennifer, how someone was trying to rape her, how she tried to run away, how there was no one to help her or protect her. I woke up in a cold sweat. “Fuck” I got up and went for a cold shower. I dressed in another pair of PJs before I went downstairs with her business plan. I went straight to my office and worked through some e-mails it was clear I won’t get anymore sleep tonight I might as well work. I saw there was an e-mail from Brad when I open it it was all the information I was asking for about his business. I can’t believe he send me this clearly, he came around after Jenn’s tantrum. Does that mean he excepted the marriage that is now clearly off. ‘Fuck Romeo what have you done?’ I asked myself over and over again.
