JANE:
My heart kept pounding so hard in my chest after the call ended and I didn’t know what to do. If Zane finds out about this, then he would also find out what happened months ago. He would find out that I was the one who killed his father.
That had also stopped blood from pumping in my heart as beads of sweat ran down my forehead to the floor.
In a hurry, I picked up my phone from the bed and with shaky hands found Jackson’s number to dial,
As soon as the call was answered, I panicked a little before coming back to my senses. It was certainly the fears running down my veins, Jackson, I need your help, right now. It’s so urgent and if this isn’t done, it’s going to cost me everything, please.”
I had never been this weak before, but I was almost at the verge of tears because I badly needed his help. There was no other f*cking person I knew.
Uncontrollably, tears escaped from my eyes and ran down to my chin. My legs were trembling and I was starting to imagine all sorts of bullshit in my head. I imagined Zane taking my head because of this, I imagined the look on Katherine’s face and I almost yelled out loud in fright,
“Jackson please you have to help me. You have to save me right now.”
“Hey! Calm down okay, just calm down and tell me what’s wrong.”
“Zane is about to find out everything. Those stupid rogues had to be greedy and try to put me in a lot of trouble and I don’t know what to do.”
I fell down on the floor, whimpering aloud, “Is there anyway you can find them before he gets the truth out of them? Kill anyone you find, I don’t care if I’ll need them again.”
“I’ll try my best. I’m still a bit far from the pack, but I have some rogues friends who would be able to do just the job.”
“What are they going to do? What if they mess things up and make things worse.” I responded in fear,
“Trust me on this. They would never come close, but the job would be done even at that. You’ll get a call once it’s done.”
I sniffled. For once, I was going to trust Jackson with my life. This was my life, because if Zane found out the truth, he would certainly kill me and my parents. “I’m counting on you, Jackson, do whatever it takes. Anything!”
The called ended, but I still couldn’t rise to my feet as my legs were still very shaky and wobbly. I slowly began to bit my pinky nails, trying to tell myself that Jackson would sort out everything just like he had promised.
With a deep breath in, I rose to my feet and rushed towards the bed. As I grabbed a pillow, so many things ran through my mind. Will Katherine really win this? I definitely didn’t come this far just to be caught at the end of everything. There had to be another damn way to save myself. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
What other excuse could I give Zane for him to lose his trust in her?
I kept thinking but nothing was forthcoming, and so I gently laid down on the bed and shut my eyes so I could sleep and feel less pain than I already was.
I had no idea what woke me up, but it was either the sound of the doorknob or the horrible dream I just had.
When I realized I had fallen asleep, I rubbed my eyes gently and watched as the door opened,
“Zane! Baby, are you okay? What’s wrong?” I rose to my feet and rushed towards him. I had expected Zane to push me away, but he didn’t. He let me hug him and rub his hair instead,
“What happened? You don’t look so good.”
He heaved deeply, “I’m fine. I just had a rough morning today and I think I need to freshen up right now.”
1 nodded my head at him, “Oh yeah, do that baby. I’ll be waiting for you. Maybe you want to talk about it.”
Just as he was able to walk away, I held his hand, “Hey…” he cocked his head towards my direction and I smiled at him, “I’m here for you

Zane, always. No matter what’s going on with you or the pack, I’ll stick by your side forever and we’ll overcome this together too.” “Thanks Jane, I needed to hear that.”
I let go of his hand and watched him walk towards the wardrobe. One after the other, he began to pull off his clothes and halfway done, he picked up a towel and tied it around his waist.
Immediately Zane walked into the bathroom, I rushed for my phone and saw a message on the screen,
“All done. Be rest assured that your husband doesn’t know a thing. I’ll be back to the pack before sunrise tomorrow.”
A smile appeared on my lips the moment I saw the message. Jackson just had to be the best run around dog that I had right now. Just when I had almost lost all hope, he had helped me regain my hope.
I deleted the text immediately and dropped my phone back on the bed. As I sat down, I thought about the deal Jackson and I had. I was scared that If I gave him everything, he would end up leaving me for somewhere else after his sister returns to normal. I couldn’t afford to let him go yet, not when I wasn’t done getting everything that I wanted.
About 20 minutes later, Zane was out, looking everything like the husband I dreamt about. He was incredibly hot in a towel, and his hair was dripping wet. His bare chest kept echoing my name, and I felt all the pressure in the world. Tonight, I knew that I wanted Zane, but his mood… I had to find one way or another to cheer him up.
I rose to my feet and walked towards him, and the I wrapped my arms around his body,
“Do you want me to help you forget about the stress you went through today?” I questioned him, tracing my fingers around his chest, but then the expression on his face made me understand that he was in no mood,
“I need to get ready, Jane. There would be a meeting in a hour.” Zane uttered and freed my hold on his body.
I watched as he walked away, and headed towards another small room corner where his stuffs were arranged. When he was done, he simply avoided my gaze and walked out of the room while I could only stare back at him in awe.
As I clutched my fingers, I walked towards the cloth in the bin and raised it. Surprisingly, I felt something in his pants, and I tucked my left hand into it so I could bring it out.
It was a diamond ring,

and I recalled it even at first glance because it was Katherine’s wedding ring.
