Janet opened her eyes with a frown as she could feel she was laying on a soft surface. She blinked her eyes twice to get a clear view and realised she was in Dylan's personal room. Janet went to the washroom to freshen up and came out of the room.

She was about to call Dylan's name but kept quiet, noticing some employees having a discussion with him. Janet smiled at them and sat on the couch watching her husband engaged in a serious discussion. She was playing with her wedding ring after getting bored with the loneliness when Dylan pulled her into a warm hug from behind…

-” Congratulations Jane, for your another victory. “ saying Dylan kissed her neck.

Janet held his hands which were around her belly with a smile…

-” Lan, is your work finished..? “

-” Yeah.. Almost. Sorry I forgot about the award ceremony. We are getting late. “

Dylan hurriedly got up from the couch and helped Janet to get up.

-'' You always forget.. “ Janet shook her head but a strange emotion filled in her eyes for a fraction of a second. She folded her hands around his arms while walking to the elevator.

Everyone was watching them with happiness and adoring eyes. They always saw them showing PDA not to that extent but it was enough for people to know they both love each other more than anything and care for each other. Most importantly they can see the soft side of their chairman only when he is with his wife.

-” Mark, let's go to the Savire studio. “ Dylan instructed his driver.

Janet leaned her head to his shoulder which made Dylan amused…

-” What happened Jane..? Is everything alright..? “ He asked while tucking the strands of hair back to her ears.

-” Just tired. I have taken a day off for tomorrow. I thought we would spend some time together after your client meeting. “

-” Of course we will. Now get some rest. You're gonna have a hectic night at the party. “

Janet chuckled at his answer and closed her eyes. She could hear Dylan talking with someone through the phone.

******

-” Can I get up… ? It's making me mad. “ Janet asked the woman who was doing artwork on her body as if she was going for an oscar award ceremony.

Janet was never a person who liked heavy make ups. So sitting like an obedient child only to get ready, was not a piece of cake for her.

-” It's done ma'am.. Let me do your hair. Then you can go. “ the stylists replied politely.

As the makeover was done Janet walked out the room not even checking her appearance as if she got her life back after a war. But as she reached the door she was stopped by a strong body.

-” Where are you running Mrs. Braxton..?” Dylan asked with a teasing smile as he knew how much his wife hated this makeover stuff.

-” Lan, I'm done. Let's go.. She is too lazy and she is too slow in her work. “ Janet pouted her lips and complained.

-” It's not that she is slow. It's because you hate it. “

Saying Dylan pulled her with him in front of a mirror and made her look at her resemblance. He stood just behind her with a smile and whispered in her ears..

-” See, how beautiful you look wifey.. “

Dylan was looking at Janet from head to toe with dark eyes. Janet Was wearing a pure white gown covered with small white beads. It had a deep front neck with backless. The slits in the gown exposed her slender and long thighs.She was wearing matching white heels which made her reach to Dylan’s heights.

Her slender legs and little exposed cleavage was making Dylan harder but he controlled himself as they were getting late for the award ceremony. If not he would have tasted his beautiful wife here itself. Dylan took a diamond necklace from his pocket and put it around Janet’s neck.

-” Now you look perfect but the only thing is that your dress is a little exposed. Not only do I have to control myself but also other men who try to ogle at my beautiful wife.. “

-'' No one's gonna dare to do that when you are with me. “ Janet rolled her eyes at his jealousy.

-” By the way, you look handsome my husband. “ Janet winked at Dylan who smiled widely at her compliment.

Dylan Was wearing a maroon color blazer with a white shirt and a black neck bow. Janet adjusted his neck bow more perfectly and smiled at him.

-” Can I get a kiss..? “ Janet asked with expectation.

Instead of replying Dylan bent his head down to kiss her but before he could kiss her his phone rang.

-” Sorry, I need to attend this call. “ Dylan patted her cheek and walked away from Janet.

Janet Was looking at Dylan then turned her body to face the mirror. She patted on her shoulder with her hands with a smile…

-” You have me and I will kiss you.. “ Janet kissed in the mirror as if she was kissing herself and a smile appeared on her face.

But the smile she had was not filled with happiness but with sadness, hurt and agony. Janet patted on her cheeks twice to shoo off the emotions filling inside her.

Dylan and Janet were sitting in the front row of the party hall which was filled with business men and women and also with the media. They were capturing each moment of the award ceremony attentively. Janet was holding Dylan's arms but her grip on his arms was firm as if she was waiting for something…

(Mike announcement )

// Next award is for the best businessman of the year.. Well any guess..? Well well… The competition is again between the family.. The Braxton group and Hunter corporation… (silence for a moment)

And the winner is.. Dylan Braxton.. “ //

Janet was nervous and waiting for the announcement of the winner. The moment the MC took Dylan’s name her grip on his arms loosened.

Dylan got up from the chair with a smile as did Janet. She elegantly gave a hug to Dylan who kissed on her cheek and walked to the stage. The media was capturing their each moment because they were considered as the ideal couple in the business circle.

Dylan took the award and walked to the podium for his speech.

-” Nothing more to say. I just wanna thank my family for giving me an opportunity to find my own way and most importantly thank you to the young lady ( pointing to Janet).. Thank you for supporting me and believing in me.”

Janet smiled at his speech in reaction where the media turned their focus to the top not lawyer of the country.

-” Sir, why do you choose to create Hunter corporation when you are one of the heirs of the Braxton group… ? Is it because you and your wife have issues with your family…? “ One of the reporters asked.

Listening to the question both Janet and Dylan were silent for a second. Dylan looked at his wife who blinked her eyes in assurance…

-”As I said I wanted to find my own way. As for family issues, do you think my family will have a problem with such a successful son and daughter in law..?” Dylan faintly smiled while answering which speared to the reporters too.

-” Sir, how do you feel after winning the best businessman award for the second time.? “ Another reporter asked.

-” Happy and content. “ saying Dylan walked down from the podium and walked to Janet.

He gave the ward to her and posed for some pictures as per the requests from the media. They looked like a match made in heaven and looked dazzling together. Their elegant look and her smile made them unique from others.

After the award ceremony everyone moved to the party hall which was looking like a typical boring business party.

-” Jane, are you okay being alone..? I need to meet some people. I know you don't like these interactions. That's why I'm asking you. “

-” I'm good. You carry on. “ Janet replied.

She was wondering why he was asking this question when he already decided to go with them. She was used to his actions so she replied without thinking anything.

-” I will be back soon.” Dylan gave a side hug to Janet and departed from there.

Janet was just chatting with some ladies. It was not like she was interested in their chit chat. But she had no other option rather than getting bored. Janet was listening to one lady with a fake smile when her eyes caught a middle aged woman who had worn a fashionable outfit.

Janet excused herself from the ladies group and went forth to that woman…

-'' Mom.. ”Janet called the women.

That woman turned her head and smiled at Janet. She had a resemblance with Dylan. Helena Braxton held Jane’s hand and hugged her..

-” I didn't see you mom. Sorry. “ Janet said slowly.

-” I saw you chatting with those ladies. That's why I didn't interrupt you. Come let's go… I need to talk with you. “ Helena pulled Janet with her.

Helena was taking Janet to the outside garden area. The moment they reached there Helena left Janet’s hands and wiped her hands with a handkerchief then threw it to the dustbin as if she was disgusted by touching Janet.

Janet just watched Helena silently because it was not the first time she saw this..

-” Mom, we… “ Janet opened her mouth to say something but Helena stopped her.

-” I told you don't ever call me mom. I'm not your mom..” Helena gritted her teeth.

-” But I'm your daughter In law. “ Janet said in a gentle voice.

-” No.. You are not.. Don't forget we are doing this drama only for the reputation of my family. I don't want the media to say we misbehaved with our daughter in law. If it was not for dad’s last wish we would have announced that you don't have any relationship with Braxton family.”

-” Mom.. I mean Mrs. Braxton, it's four years. Why can't you let go of things..? “ Janet asked in a low voice.

If anyone saw Janet at this moment it would be an exaggeration that she is the same lawyer who won all the cases with her oratory skills. Helena folded her hands near her chest and smirked..

-” Let go of things..? I will never… I won't forget you took my son away from me. Because of you my son left his family and his rights over Braxton corporation… Your selfishness made him suffer for a long time. He was not like you who lived a middle class life. But you.. Because of you my son suffered a lot.. And you are expecting me to forgive you..? Dream on… even if you are a famous lawyer, for me you will always be that middle class girl who snatched my son away from me… “ Helena spoke rudely and walked away.

Janet was hurt by her words but she didn't want to cry. She looked up at the sky as if she was trying to hold back the tears which threatened to roll down at any moment. Janet bit her lips due to the pain she felt in her heart.
