Chapter five

By Obodozie favour chioma

"Here this is where you would be staying"Jake said and I held him by the hand and dragged him into tht room.

"Is this some kind of a prank?. Why are you hostile to me?"

"Prank?. Prank is what you made my love for you. You made it a joke".

"How?"

"Stop this! Faking innocence doesn't suit you at all"

"You must be mistaken Jake and I don't mind clearing your doubts about me".

"It's too late now. My Engagement ceremony is tomorrow and there's nothing you can do. Get a good night rest as tomorrow you would be leaving this house and my life forever".

"I didn't love you to get heartbroken at the last second. You are mine Jake and I will make sure of that".

"It's best you stop flying in clouds. Yes I was yours but then I was fooled by you. I foolishly craved to have you in my arms but not anymore".

"Tell me what changed"

"You deceived me".

"I didn't".

"It best if you get away from the door let me go out".

"Like I said before you are mine"

"You are ready to live in clouds. I was once yours but not now. You and I planned on making history now we are history".

"Meaning?"

"Tomorrow I will be someone else's".

"Tomorrow you would be mine. I won't let you end up with Bella. You and I are meant to be and get ready cause tomorrow you would be engaged to me and not her".

"Jake! Jake! Are you in there with her?"I heard Bella say

"My fiancee calls"He said holding my hands.

"It best you start looking for a new job instead of chasing a man that doesn't want you. I hope you know that shameless"He said, opened the door and left.

I couldn't believe Jake was the one telling me this hurtful words. He confessed how much he loved me last night and today he wants nothing to do with me.

No! I can't give up. Jake is mine and love withstands all odds. I'm not going to let Bella win No! Never!

At night...

My gaze on the door, my eyes filled with tears, I wondered why Jake wanted me hurt, I prayed to God that it was only but a nightmare that am losing Jake but then I will have to fight to get Jake back or else he would belong to someone else.

My tummy grumbled and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach reminding me that i haven't had anything to eat the whole day.I heard a knock on my door.

"Who's that?"

"Open up"I heard and I wondered who was that.

I struggled to stand up and my hand reached for the door. I opened it by then I felt really dizzy.

"You haven't eaten all day so I brought something for you to eat".

"Jim...am not hungry"I said disappointed wondering why Jake wasn't here.

I was about reaching Jane's Room, she hasn't eaten all day and I was really worried. I knew I shouldn't have said all those words to her but I can't let what she did with Jim slide.

I was close to her room when I saw Jim wearing a hoodie.

"Is he sneaking into her room?...Why did she open her room door for him".

"Are they secretly seeing each other?"

"Don't tell me that Jane. You look weak"I heard Jim say.

"I just need rest"She said and I could tell she was lying.

I watched her for a while and realized she was going to faint, I ran close but by then she was in Jim's arms.

I stepped back and went out. I called the doctor, he walked in and Everyone watched him examine her.

"She needs food and I told you to let her have rest didn't I?"The doctor said facing Me.

"Um.."I was interrupted by Jim.

"Sir I would take care of her"

"Who are you to her?"The doctor questioned.

"A friend"Jim said and I wondered if what I saw was merely my eyes playing tricks on me but then Jim had a sudden attachment to Jane that worried me.

*Did they actually shared a kiss?*

"Sir for how long is she meant to rest?"My mum asked.

"Ma'am you seem to forget this girl has risked a lot for your son. She needs rest and if you can't give her that then prepare to bury her".

"But there's going to be a function here tomorrow. It our engagement ceremony"Bella said smiling and holding my hands.

"Ohh.."The doctor said staring at me.

"Then who is she to you?"The nurse who had being quiet said.

"I hope you know your job isn't to interfere into people's affairs"Bella said and the nurse kept quiet.

"Am sorry"

"Better...Our engagement is tomorrow doctor so how are we going to cater for her and prepare for that?"

"Ma'am I advice you cancel that. For now her health matters and so I will advice you make sure she is fine first".

"Okay doctor. Jane's health matters a lot to me so we will cancel it".

"What! That not fair"

"We will be on our way now. Here give her this after she eats, give her something to eat".

"I will do that"I and Jim chorused.

"I can't deal with this"Bella left while my mum followed her.

PBella wait up"Mrs Smith said calling her.

"What!"She said staring at her.

"You can't give up just like that".

"Really?. Am not going to do anything, it all up to you old woman"

"Old.. woman? Bella did you just call me that?"

"Were you with no ears when I called you that?. No right?"

"I hope you know who you are talking to young lady"

"Am sure you aren't seeing anyone around here so it must be you am talking to. You seem to forget am the reason why you are not lavishing in poverty. If I didn't ask my parents to help pay for Jake's surgery fees and this house fees both the food and the workers, hope you know you would be sleeping under bridges by now"

"I haven't forgotten"

"It would be better for you if you don't. I don't think you would like your knees to kiss the floor begging I help your family again".

"That doesn't mean you talk to me anyhow. Besides am doing my bargain and this am helping you get my son"

"You think you are doing something. You ungrateful witch...That stupid Jane is lying on the bed still in this house having two stupid men as her watch guard so tell me what you are doing. It would be better for you if you act fast rather than stick to those idiotic tricks of yours chasing her away because it not working".

"What do you want me to do?"Mrs Smith said almost in tears.

"You don't expect me to give you ideas all the time. Am pretty sure you know what a brain is used for...Try using it to think, when an idea pops up you come to my room to inform me and that idea better be good as I don't need any mistake this time around"Bella said leaving.

I couldn't hold back my tears, I had sacrificed a lot inorder for us not to be poor even bearing this girl's insults.

Jane was the right girl for my son but she has no background, no money, nothing and I can't watch my son lavish in poverty like I did then.

NEVER!

Even at the risk of his happiness am ready to do anything so he would live a comfortable life.

"Jim...I can take care of her how about you go rest?"I said to Jim who gave me a Stern look.

"She's in this situation because of you besides what makes you think you are the right person to take care of her?"Jim asked and I got upset.

"When did you start caring about her?. Maybe it after you guys deceived me"

"Deceived you?. You saw what you wanted to see and now innocent Jane has to pay for it".

"I'm the only one who has the right to take care of her".

"That you deceiving yourself"Jim said.

"Deceiving myself?"I asked confused .

"You seem to have forgotten you would be engaged to Bella in a matter of days and yes you're no longer a part of her life".

"And what makes you think so?"

"You can't be asking me that. You are really ungrateful even after she was ready to risk her life just for you. She gave you her kidney and loved you unconditionally but the only way you could think of repaying her back is by inviting her to your engagement ceremony to Bella"

"Wow you are really good at deceiving people. Even after what you and her did you still claim she is innocent".

"Your mentality is really bad".

"Oh really. Okay tell me and be truthful don't you have feelings for Jane?"

"I...I.."Jim stammered.

"You what? Answer the question or am I mistaken".

"No, I actually do love her"

I couldn't control myself I punched him hard on the face.

"You ingrate!"

"I'm letting this slide cause we have been friends for long now".Jim said and I held him by the shirt.

"Try doing your worse you sly pig"

"Mind the way you talk to me"Jim said hitting me back on the face.

"I should mind the way I talk to you. You are busy making advances at my woman and you expect me to sit and watch you quietly".I said wiping the blood stains of my lips.

"She's no longer your woman. You rejected her"Jim said and held me by the shirt.

"SHE IS MINE"I told him and he pushed me.

"She was once yours now she is mine"He said and I stood up and hit him again on the face.

"What makes you think she would ever be yours?"I asked him pissed of.

I was on top of him and I was hitting him and he was bleeding. He over thrown me and punched me severally.

"Unlike you I appreciate rare jewels".

"Will you two stop?"We heard and saw Jane staring at us by then Bella and Jake's mum had rushed in.

"What a friend you are"Jake said and I looked away wiping the blood stains of my lips.

"What happened here?"Bella asked.

"Looks like they were both at each other"Jake's mum said her eyes fixed on Jane.

"I knew it that you would he the reason for this"She said about to slap her when I held her hands.

"Don't try it"I warned.

"And who are you to hold my mum's hands?"Jake asked surprising me.

I thought he loved Jane so why couldn't he stop his mum from hurting her instead he is rebuking me.

"Am doing what you should have done"I told him and held Jane's hands.

"Let me go Jim"She said but I ignored her.

"Jane sticks with me and so I would advice all of you to learn to respect yourself and her as well".

"That absurd."Bella said and I stared at her assuring her I would tell Jake what she made me do.

"It would be better for all of you if stay of Jane"I said my gaze on Jake.

"Jim I think it high time you stop flying in clouds. Jane belongs to me and only me".

"No I don't"Jane said surprising me.

"What do you mean?"Jake asked her.

"You are about to get engaged and besides am only but a guest here".

"I made you a guest here so you could stop my engagement"Jake said to me but I wasn't ready to believe him.

"You had your chance with me but now you have lost it forever. Am only but a maid to you and nothing more. I get paid for my cheap kidney and salary then I leave your life forever. I'm tired of forcing things, you rebuked me and you weren't ready to listen to me when I wanted to so you don't expect me to the same"

"Jane..."

"Please it would be best if you face your financee from now on and stop chasing clouds. You have lost me forever Jake. I wasn't regarded when I was with you and I don't think I would ever be regarded".

God thank you. I never knew magic exist until today so this stupid girl has finally given up on Jake now he is all Mine!

"Hmm. At least you have come to your senses you are leaving my husband to be house tomorrow we will call you when your money is ready".I said smiling at her.

"I want my money ready tomorrow"She told me.

"Greedy woman"Jake's mum said and I watched her smile.

"That how greedy I am. Tommorow I get my money and I leave your house forever"She said and walked out with Jim following her put.

"Jane...Jane..you are still not fine please wait"I heard Jim say but I wasn't in any mood ready to hear him out.

"Jane please wait up"He said and I stopped walking.

"What do you want?"Was how I responded to him.

"I want you to have something to eat. You haven't eaten all day".

"And do I look hungry to you? For your own good you let me be. My ears have gotten tired of men so-called display of care".

"What!"

"It simple I don't want you here"

"But..."

"I said get out. Infact you know what I started this race from the beginning coming into this house to work was the biggest mistake of my life and I will have to make sure I rectify my mistake"I said and banged the door on him.

"God have really messed up"I told myself hearing Jane cry.

I think I should go talk to Jake and tell him the whole truth.

"And where do you think you are going to?"Bella asked stopping me.

"To Jake's room. I want to clear a few things with him"I told her.

"It would be best if you don't try it"

"Why?"I asked her.

"Well in case you are forgetting I and Jake's wedding is in four days from today".

"When I'm done clearing things with him I don't think there would be any need for a wedding".

"Look Jim I'm not keeping shut about what happened in Korea only for you to go around threatening me okay".

"Korea was my past?"

"And if you don't want it to ruin your future and get you locked up you will make sure your legs are in your bedroom".

"This is really not fair".

"Fair how?. Baby nothing is fair in love and war besides you love her don't you?".

"I do"I responded.

"Then what stopping you from shooting your shots. Who knows she might also want you".

"You really mean it".

"Yes I do".

"I will try my best"I told her and she smiled watching me leave.

"More foolish than Jake's mum. Bella you are really something, you have two people trapped under your control. Now to get rid of this Jane forever and for good".

"Hey Jimmy"I called Jane's neighbor where she stayed before.

"Hi ma'am"

"Brief details about her".

"Okay. Jane, 22 years old, lives alone, didn't get to finish school, you wants to further to business school but her family background isn't helping , they died leaving her with her little sis who also died while crossing the road, She got blind in her parents accident. Tomorrow Jane would be clocking 23..."

"Shssshh"

"What ma'am?"

"That all I need to know I will call you when your services is needed".

"So that girl would be 23 tomorrow. What a party! Jim will have to plan her party for her. There he would confess his love for, am pretty sure there's no how Jake would come after her again after this".

"Jim.."I called out.

"Yes Bella"He said coming out.

"Have got an idea on how you are going to win Jane over"

"How?"He asked curious.

"Here have this make sure she eats then tell her how much you really care for her and how you are ready to do anything for her. Girls eat this up, tomorrow is her birthday so you are going to give her a surprise party and the best at that then you confess to her how much you love her in front of everyone. Even if she planned on resisting you won't do for long. Her anger towards Jake is an advantage to you".

"Bella thank you I really appreciate it. I never knew you cared so much about her".

"Yeah yeah go do according to what I say no mistake. Here have this"I told him giving him a tray containing food.

"I just pray she falls for Jim and leaves I and Jake in peace".

"Jane..."I called out holding a tray In my hands.

"Who's that?"She asked and I knew she was still in tears.

" It Jim and I'm not leaving your doorstep until you come out and have something to eat".

"Hmm please go"She begged but I wasn't ready to leave.

"Come out please you haven't had something to eat all day and you need your drugs".

"I told you I wasn't hungry."

"At least eat to get better if not for me".

"Hmm you won't leave me alone?"

"Yes I won't"

I heard the door open slowly.

"Come in"She said. I walked in starring at the room, it was really messy and untidy.

She looked really weak and her eyes were bloodshot and her lips dried up. She was hurt and I could see it but Jake isn't the right man for her, I promise to never make her feel this pains ever again.

"Here...have this"I said starring at her,I helped her sit on the bed.

"Thanks"She said drinking the water slowly.

"I care a lot about you that why"I told her and she smirked.

"You proved it today".

"Yes,here"He said feeding me the food.

"Am satisfied"

"No, eat more you need it"I told her.

"Thank you so much"She said and tried smiling.

"I couldn't bear to see you in pains"I told her and she stared away.

"Yeah"She said and I helped her take her drugs.

"This room is really messy give me a few minutes to tidy everything up"

"Sure. Thanks"I told him.

"Now this is befitting for a Queen".

"Please don't flatter me"I told him and he laughed.

"You are queen aren't you?"

"If you say I am then I would be"

"Oh really"

"Yeah".

"You need rest, you have had a long day".

"Yes I do".

"Should I sing you a lullaby?"

"Am not a kid"

"You are to me. My baby,I care a lot about you Jane and I can do a lot for you".

"Are you sure?"She asked in a different tone.

"Yes, I'm very sure..I will leave you to rest".He said leaving.

"Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to you"I heard and I opened the door only to see Jim with a cake.

*How did he know it my birthday?*

I turned to see Jake who looked away and held Bella's hands.

*What he trying to prove?*

"Jane happy birthday"Jim said smiling and holding my hands.

"Thank you how did you know?"

"It my little secret"He told me smiling.

"Happy birthday Jane"Bella said handling me a gift making me wonder if it was a trap.

"What really going on?"I asked and Jake's mum hugged me.

"I'm sorry for my mistreatment towards you..Here, have this and happy birthday".

"Thank you"I told her.

"You're welcome"She told me and I wondered if this was only a send of to get me out of Jake's life for good.

"Eat this and have this..."Jim said feeding me a cake, I watched Jake who looked away.

"Wear this and come downstairs your party is in a few hours"Jim said leaving.

I watched everyone leave and the smile on my face proved I was glad...Today I'm clocking 23, it finally my birthday.

At night...

I got dressed in a red gown beautifully decorated and red heels Jim had specially gotten me. Today was my last day here and Jim had promised me to make me happy.

"You look stunning"He said leading me to the living room where the party was held.

"You don't look bad yourself"I told him and he smiled.

"Am glad you're letting yourself go"He told me.

"Today's my last day here and so that the least I could do be happy"I told him.

"My promises to you is to always make you happy"He said leading me in.

"Everyone the birthday girl"He introduced and I heard clapping.

The whole living room were properly decorated. It looked so beautiful and breath taking. The food was mouth watering.

"Thank you so much"I told Jim who kissed my hands and smiled.

"You deserve this and more. This is just the beginning"He told me.

"Whoah so there's more"

"More for you princess"He said smiling.

I stood still glaring at the whole place, everyone who walked in offered me a gift wishing me well.

"Jane..."I heard and turned to see Jimmy.

"Hi Jimmy"I said Smiling.

"Looks like you are finally living the life you wanted"

"I don't get you"

You got all what you wanted. A rich home and a rich boyfriend".

"Jim isn't my boyfriend".

"Really and he did all this for you. You must be lucky girlfriend".

"Hmm why are you here and how did you know this place?"

"You can't a party without me besides am your surprise guest in Jim's list".

"Oh really?. Okay"I said walking away.

"Looks like you are having fun"I heard a familiar voice say.

"What do you want Jake?"I asked still drinking my punch.

"Nothing much. Just you"

"Just me?. Can't you hear yourself?"I asked him irritated.

"I could but my ears are busy hearing your heart beat in me"

"I give up. You either have me or have Bella you can't want cake and still lick ice cream".I told him and left.

"Good you are here I have a surprise for you"Jim told me smiling.

"Surprise again. This is just enough"

"It not. You deserve more"He said and lead me to the dance floor.

"A dance damsel"He asked.

"Sure"I told him my eyes fixed on Jake who dragged bella to the dance floor.

"You're really beautiful"He complimented.

"Thank you so much"

"I really want to tell you something"

"Something? What that?"

"I...okay...I really have fallen madly in love with you and I don't want to tell you to impose anything on you. I could wait! A thousand years for you I just want a yes from you and that it"He said starring at me. The music had stopped and everyone eyes were on me.

I watched Jake reaction and he held Bella kissing her right in front of me.

*Why did you do that Jake?. I'm fed up I can't be the only one getting hurt here*

"Would you be mine? My girlfriend?"He asked smiling.

"Yes I would"I told him and he smiled.

"Could I kiss you?"He whispered in my ears.

"Umm..."

"D wason't worry I won't rush you"He said smiling at me.

We held everyone clapped.

"Congratulations"Bella said smiling at me.

"Thanks"Jim said smiling at her.

I felt really uncomfortable. I needed to pee.

"I will be back. I need to use the bathroom"I said and Jim pecked my cheeks.

"I will be here waiting"He told me and I tried smiling.

*I hoped I wasn't trending on the wrong path*

"So why was I kissed?"Bella asked me.

"I did that just to spite Jane so don't get all happy"

"Oh really!. You just watched her accept Jim and you couldn't do a thing about it"She said handling me a drink.

"Jane is all grown up she could make her decisions herself"I told her sipping my drink.

*I could just die there of jealousy*

"Doing nothing doesn't make you a man. She's all alone in her bedroom go do something"She told me and somehow I walked out following Jane.

"After a while the effect of the drugs would work and then your deepest desires would work and Jane would hate you forever and I will finally have you forever. After tonight she wouldn't ever change her mind about loving you. You are forever mine and I could do anything to have you. May you have a happy birthday Jane. I doubt if you will".

"Hey.."I heard and I turned to see Jake.

"What do you want?. To finish of what you started..Calling my kidney cheap"

"I'm not ready to argue with you"

"Arghhhh You're only good at hurting me"I told him and was about closing the door when he walked in.

"Get out!"

"Out?. When you're here"

"You reek"I told him, he reeked of alcohol.

"Why did you drink?"

"Why did you plan on leaving me?"

"You caused it"

"I didn't ask you to leave"

"You're getting engaged soon".

"You are meant to stop my wedding"He told me.

"Am meant to?. Can't you hear yourself?"I asked him.

"I sound fair"

"You don't. You know what it pointless arguing with you".

"Pointless?. I don't see what pointless about it"

"You.. besides you belong to someone else now"

"Meaning?"

"You're getting engaged to Bella in a few days you will both be married"

"And you are here to stop it"

"Stop what? I wasn't the one who chose to marry her"

"That was a decision I made out of anger".

"Anger?. If you could make that out of anger what else could you do?"I asked him.

"Kiss you"

"For your good don't you dare come close to me"

"Is that a threat?"

"Consider it what you want"

"I don't care. I want you"He said holding me close.

"And I don't want you"I told him.

"That a lie and you know it"He told me and I watched his hands reached for my waist.

"Let me go"I begged but by then his lips was on mine.

"I won't"He said and reached for my legs, I was on his arms and he gently laid me on the bed.

"This is wrong"I told him but he refused.

He laid me down gently and kissed the nape of my neck. His lips running across my body.

His hands also busy caressing every part of my body, his hands went through my gown unzipping it. I swallowed hard as I felt powerless.

I felt my whole body want him, I could feel the shivers and goosebumps around my body. He was performing real magic on me.

Something I have never felt before. His hands reached for my gown again throwing it of on the floor. My black panties being revealed.

His eyes were hungry for my body and he showed it all. His hands still hungry to have me naked.

His eyes craving for more to see, his hands reached again this time for more,he stared at me .

On the bed, I watched him without muttering a word. Shy I stared away from his eyes, his eyes glare closely at me. I was only wearing a bra and panties just that.

He came close and was about unhooking my bra when my senses came back. I pushed him violently on the floor.

"Don't you dare touch me!"I warned him and dragged the bedsheets covering my body.

"You wanted this"He told me coming close.

"I don't want it. Not now"I told him but he didn't look like he cared. He wasn't in his normal senses, he had lost control.

Yes he was drunk! But the lust in his eyes was enough to tell me he wanted more than mere kissing.

"I need to escape"I told myself reaching for the door.

"Come back here Jane"He said and held me back.

I begged him trying hard to run but he dragged me back locking the room, he threw the keys out on the window.

"It would be better for you if you don't resist me"

*Who was this?. The Jake I knew and loved wasn't this monster before me*

"Jim is never going to have you nor your body as long as am alive"He told me and pushed me violently on the bed.

His lips on mine...this time he pressed harder causing my lips to bleed. He licked the blood of my lips and dragged me close to him.

He smiled watching me in pains.

"You could have said no to Jim. What does he have that I don't?"He said and I struggled to get up but he over powered me.

His trousers on the floor, only boxers he reached for my bra.. he held it and dragged it of me. I cried out in pains.

"Wow"He said starring vividly at my bosoms.

His left hands ran across my body while the other held me tight. I couldn't do anything but to cry out for help.

That didn't stop him, he tore my panties and had his way on me. He smiled still not satisfied.

"Another round baby"He said his hands holding my hairs.

I kept on crying and begging but all fell in vain..no one could hear me the party was there so it was noisy.

I felt my legs cramping in pains, my lips wounded and my weak body in tears. I felt weak, weaker and I just laid there while the monster used me as he pleased.

He kept on going until he was fully satisfied giving me a spank on my buttocks, he stood up to leave but by then the door was pushed open.

Jim had walked in to see me laying lifeless on the bed, Jake smiling and starring at him.

"You monster!" I heard and I could feel my eyes close slowly.

"Let me go"Jake said angrily.

"Go?. After what you did"Jim said. He punched Jake and he fell on the ground.

"Let me go. I only did what I felt was right"Jake said upset.
