The next day
It was the normal routine in the Wayland Villa
Jennie brought Emily downstairs for breakfast , before she would be dropped in school.
Jacob also came down stairs as he sat down, Jennie was also seated eating, this was the first time Jennie and Jacob were sitting together, cause Jennie always had excuses to eat elsewhere.
Jacob holds his breath as he says: Emily, how are you?
Emily said: I didn't see you all through yesterday
Jacob said: Daddy has been busy
Emily said: umm when you get back from work early today, can you get me an
Ice cream.
Jacob smiled: okay, I promise
Soon after they were done eating they walked out
Emily's driver was already waiting, while
Jacob got into his car too.
It was just Jennie at home and today was an off day for Maria she knew. She grabbed her phone and dialed Maria's number.
Maria picked up as she said: hey babes?
Jennie smiled: are you home
Maria said: I'm not home Jennie, you know what I do on my off days.
Jennie smirked: that's true okay, thought of meeting with you, but okay.
Maria said: we will see this weekend okay?
Jennie smiled: okay.
As the call ended. Jennie felt so bored, the chef also went to see her children, Jennie went to her room as she lay on her bed a flashback struck her head as she began to
Sweat so bad she tried to catch her breath as she sat up and gulped a glass of water down her throat.
: whenever you drown in a thought like this, that means you haven't been taking that drug.
Jennie grabbed her bag as she brought out a drug to take
Jennie has been using these drugs for years now.
Maria always tells her to use it, and even though Jennie has no idea what the drugs are for, she trusts her best friend. Anytime
Jennie takes the drugs she forgets what she thinks about, sometimes Jennie feels the need to ask a doctor what the drugs are for, but she feels it seems it was her best friend who gave them to her, why would she question it?
She lay back on the bed as she finally slept off
On the other Jacob went to Jennie Street as he walked in the neighborhood, they were staring at him, and now they thought he was a thief or something.
Jacob saw an old woman sitting outside, he went to her as he greeted her. Jacob said: hello ma'am.
The woman replied to him
Jacob said: Ma I have a question, if I may ask do you know Jennie?
The woman smiled: Jennie? She's like a daughter to me, she's so lovely. I know her
Jacob smirked: Good, umm, when did she Park into this apartment?
The woman said: I hope there isn't a problem.
Jacob smiled: yes ma'am, I just need to
Find out somethings
The woman said: Jennie and her best friend Maria packed into this apartment 4 years ago.
Jacob's heart beat fast that's when Serena died.
He swallowed his saliva as he said: oh, that's a long time ago.
The woman said: that when she came here, she was just in recovery, like she had an accident or something.
Jacob said: really?
The woman said: yes, cause she had a bandage all over her face
Jacob said: ma'am if I show you a picture can you please tell me if she's the one?
The woman smiled: no problem
Jacob said: okay
He brought his phone out of his pocket went through the phone and saw Maria's photo, he screenshotted it since last night on her i********: page.
He showed the old woman as the old woman started crying: I miss her
Jacob said: do you know her or not? Why are you crying?
The woman said: I miss my daughter, she died of cancer.
Jacob said: So sorry about that, everything will be fine.
The woman said: yes
Jacob knew she was not going to help him anymore, so he walked away quickly.
When he got in his car he dialed a number.
: hello? I need your help
When the call ended Jacob smirked: I'm sure this person is Maria, I will find out soon.
Jennie came here 4years ago? And there was a bandage all over her face.
His driver drove away.
When he got back to the office, he sat down as he played with his documents.
His heart hurts so bad that he can't help but think about this situation.
When Jacob got home he didn't even want to make eye contact with Jennie cause his heart raced anytime he saw her, he didn't even know why.
He got to his room and went to shower.
When he was done he changed into his home wears and went downstairs Jennie was not there anymore, so he cooled his head as he went to the kitchen to get water.
Hanna said: Sir, do you need anything?
Jacob nodded: yes, I want water.
Hanna smiled: okay Sir
She grabbed a glass cup as she helped him fill a chilled water into the glass cup.
Jacob collected it and gulped down the water, he made his way out, and Emily was back from school
Jacob frowned: Emily? You are back
Emily said: it's past 5 pm Daddy when was I supposed to come back?
Jacob looked at the time as he smirked: oh Emily, I forgot, I'm sorry, how was school today?
Emily said: it was fine as usual, Daddy where is pretty lady?
Jacob said: I don't know maybe she's in her room
Emily smiled: okay
She rushed upstairs when she saw Jennie she smiled so brightly as she said: pretty lady I'm back.
Jennie hugged her as she said: welcome cutest girl.
She carried her as she pecked her cheeks and forehead
Emily said: I'm so hungry
Jennie smiles: come on, let's do our daily routine, after that you can eat. It's almost time for dinner.
Emily said: yes let's go
Jennie carried her as they went out of the room, she got to Emily's room, and she bathed her, and had her dress changed.
Emily and Jennie made their way downstairs as Hanna the chef was already setting the dinner.
Emily's eyes brightened as she said: quickly, I'm so hungry.
Jennie said: calm down
Jennie dropped her on the chair as she served her own potion of food.
Emily began to eat as she gulped down a glass of water in a rush, Jennie smirked: Emily, come on, easy.
Emily said: I was so tasty.
Jennie said: you should drink it little by little, not in a rush. Okay?
Emily nodded: Okay, come on sit down and eat too
Jennie said: I will just after you are done eating! You know I have to watch you, 'cause I know you, Emily.
Just then she saw Jacob coming downstairs
Jennie smiled at him as he sat down on the chair to eat his dinner.
Hanna served his food as Jacob began to eat, Emily said: Daddy, the food is so delicious
Jack smiled: yes
Jennie cleaned up Emily's mouth, cause she dirtied her body just by eating food
She then carried her to her room to clean up properly as she laid her on the bed
Jennie said: it's time to sleep
Emily said: But I'm not yet sleepy.
Jennie said: you have classes tomorrow Emily.
Emily said: yes, but I want to play with you for while .
Jennie said: Emily, you have to sleep, you know it was a long day for you at school today.
Emily smirked: I will, I want you to sleep here with me tonight! Please
Jennie smiled: Emily
Emily looked at her pleadingly: please
Jennie smiled: okay, promise you will sleep okay
Emily said: yes
Jennie lay beside her as she sang her a lullaby again, and soon after they both fell asleep.
Jacob went to his study room when he was done eating.
He couldn't still study any of his documents, as his mind was probably elsewhere.
He stood up as he went to his room, he lay on his bed
Flashback to 4years ago!
I will be back soon, I'm not going with Emily, you know she's still little.
Jacob smirked: you can't go there alone, let the driver drive you.
Serena smirked: I will drive, don't worry about me.
Jacob said: you know you just gave birth babe, you should be resting.
Serena smiled as she held his wrist: I know, but I have to get there before noon, I will be fine, I know you are too busy, else you would have come with me, don't blame yourself okay?
She kissed his lips as she rushed out before he could say a word.
A few hours later
: Mr Wayland we found your wife's car, she got into an accident but she's missing.
Jacob froze: what do you mean my wife got into an accident and she's missing?
The cops said: it was a passer-by who saw the scene and called us, we thought she was in the car, but she was not in the car Sir.
Jacob said: how did you know that's my wife's car?
The cop said: we found her ID
Flashback ends
Jacob smirked: I'm not over your death Serena, I miss you every time I look at Emily. I miss you, I wish time could go back so I could mend this mistake, I should have gone with you that day. Tears fell out of his eyes
: I know no matter how powerful you are, you can't bring a life back. I searched the whole world for you, I don't know if you are really dead or alive!
He wiped his tears as he fell into a deep sleep in his thoughts.
The next few days Jacob has been so busy he rarely see Jennie
: I have a few information Sir
Jacob said: Go on
The person on the other end said: Maria Williams stays in the Stones Villa
Jacob frowned: stones Villa, then who is the the one with Jennie?
The person said: it's the same person, Sir, she stays in Jennie's apartment for a while and goes missing for a while, this is her house, Sir
Jacob's heart beat fast as he said: I know this sounds crazy Paul, I really need your help, I want you to monitor her every move, the people she meets, everything.
The person on the other end replied: okay Sir, I assure you, sir.
Jacob hung up the call as he rubbed his head he said: it's Maria, who is she too Jennie, this is so confusing. What is Maria's plan with Jennie, what if Jennie is also my enemy? What if she's a spy on me and my child? Goodness
He went downstairs and he saw Jennie, it's been 2 days since he last saw her. She was on a call with someone
Jennie laughed: you don't know how much I miss you too Maria, I didn't tell you, I had that bad dream again.
Maria said from the other end: still about an accident? Or something else.
Jennie smirked: this time it was about when a man proposed to me, couldn't see his face clearly. It was blurry, I don't know why I kept on seeing it.
Maria said: did you take your drugs?
Jennie smiled: yes I took it, but I felt the drugs weren't helping me anymore
Maria said: you should take the drugs so you can sleep well at night, and stop having a bad dream.
Jennie said: yes I know
Maria said: I have work now, I will call you later.
Jennie said: okay babes, bye.
Jacob who was standing behind heard the whole convo
Jacob's mind roamed as he said in his mind: a drug, what drug is that?
He was about to turn around and go back to his room when Jennie said: hey Mr. Wayland, you are here. I thought you left for work.
Jacob smirked as he said: I Came back early.
Jennie smiled: without any trace
Jacob said: why do you even care? Huh
Jennie said: not what you think, I was just surprised you were here by this time.
Jacob said: oh okay
He walked to the kitchen drinking a glass of water walked out made his way up the stairs and went to his room.
He couldn't help but rethink the drug Jennie was talking about on the phone.
He said: how can I get into Jennie's room without looking like a fool. And Emily is still little, huh
