Sharon frowned as she heard what Jimmy said. This naughty boy called her name a waste. She had guessed right when the little devil was smiling sweetly that he was up to something. This boy looks young enough to be aged seven or eight, yet he behaves this rudely towards his elders.

“Forget what I said earlier. You are not cute at all. You are so rude, just like your dad. How do people cope with you?” she remarked feeling very annoyed.

“I don't care! My girlfriends like me that way,” he answered. Sharon gasped and Jasper looked at his son.

“What do you mean girlfriends? You are just seven!” Jasper asked, astonished. Jimmy rolled his eyes. “Dad, which girl can resist me? I've got the looks, charm and lastly money,” he answered making a COUNTING-MONEY expression with his hand.

Sharon hit her head lightly. This man is such a disgrace to fatherhood.

How does a little boy of seven years already know about things like kisses ?.

Sharon shook her head negatively, “Jasper you are a bad influence. Look at what you've taught your son.” Jasper glared at her.

“Where is the nursery?” Sharon asked as she checked the clock. She was surprised to see it's already so late. “Follow me,” Jasper said, leading the way.

Sharon quietly shut the door. At first, when she put the baby in her cot, she whined and Sharon had to pat her gently. She smiled and kissed the baby but Jimmy scowled.

“Don't kiss her!” he retorted. “Shhh, don't wake her up,” Sharon hurriedly shushed him. He frowned and tried to suppress a yawn.

“Now go to bed. You have school tomorrow,” she whispered as they walked out. Jimmy was about to say something but Jasper had to agree with Sharon on this.

“Yes, Jimmy goes to bed. It's late already,” Jasper said and Jimmy nodded. Before leaving he turned to Sharon and said, “Fatty, don't think I'm leaving because of you. I'm going because dad asked me to do so.”

As he ran away, Sharon uttered, “What a rude little boy? Jasper, you are such a bad influence.” Jasper glared at her, “Shut up.” He is getting sick of hearing the word 'bad influence.' Sharon suddenly felt hungry and decided it's time for her to leave.

“Now that my job is done, I'm going,” she said and walked towards the door. She was expecting Jasper to say stuff like, 'I'll ask my driver to take you home. Or stay until it's too late to go.'

But instead he said, “Okay bye. I'm glad you are finally leaving fatty. You've been nothing but a nuisance since I helped you.”

Sharon stopped feeling slightly hurt not even knowing why. She looked down at her dirty baggy dress. Why does everyone always criticize her body size? She blinked back the stupid tears threatening to fall.

Was this why Aiden cheated on her? “Okay,” her voice was so quiet that Jasper almost didn't hear. As she opened the door, he said, “Yes, go and freeze out there tonight. Are you really that dumb fatty? Where are you gonna find a taxi at this hour?”

Sharon turned back surprised. Then she smiled cheekily saying, “Why don't you just say you don't want me to leave?” Jasper rolled his eyes and showed her the way to the guest rooms.

Then he left quickly, afraid that if he spent any more minutes with her, his ears would burst from her endless chatter.

“She caught the two of you, right?” Ben asked as he watched Sheila eat hungrily. His heart was brewing with intense anger. His sister is pregnant and that bitch almost killed her with hunger.

“Yes. It's even better she found out now because of my baby. I don't want my baby to be born out of wedlock,” she answered, taking sequent mouthfuls of the food.

“What are you gonna do now? She might tell her father. He won't be happy to hear what you have done,” he said, handing over a glass of water to her.

“Father won't do anything. Besides, I'll tell him the truth. She's the one that tried to take away my boyfriend, not the other way round. Who do you think father will believe? I'm pregnant while she... She has never even been to bed with him before,” Sheila retorted.

Benedict smirked and looked up as Aiden brought more food for Sheila. He brought out his phone and said, “I'll still make her pay for doing this.”

He sent a message and groaned when he received a reply.

“Brother, what is it?” Sheila asked concerned.

“I prepared a surprise for her at home but she's not there yet. I wonder where the bitch is by this time,” he replied and Sheila smiled.

“No matter where she went to, she'll always come back. So we just have to wait a little bit,” Sheila uttered with an evil smile on her face.

Later that night Sharon laid on the queen-size bed fiddling with the engagement ring on her finger. She sighed thinking of everything that had happened. Jasper and Jimmy had been helpful to her once today.

They helped her forget the sad incidents that happened to her. Now that she's alone, the memories came rushing back. She wiped off her tears and said, “Why did they do this to me?” From a young age even when Sheila did something wrong, she would try to cover up for her.

Though she still always got blamed before she could do anything. Once when they were teenagers, Ben fell so sick that everyone was scared he would die. Even though he had always maltreated her, he is still her brother. Her only brother whom she loved dearly.

The one she has always been yearning for love from. She didn't sleep a wink for three days helping the nurses in taking care of him since no one wanted to do so. Then she collapsed. When she woke up, she was excited to hear that he was finally awake but she didn't expect to receive cold treatment from him.

After all she had done, who knows what Sheila said to him to make him act that way. Why would her brother have so much hatred for her? She stood up from the bed and checked the mirror. “Am I really adopted?” Her low voice resounded in the room.

Questions but no... No answers.

She glared at the ring and went to the bathroom to throw it into the toilet. Then she paused and looked at the toilet. “This toilet is so beautiful. I can't throw this ugly ring into it and soil its beauty.”

'So you just found out that it's ugly. You were screaming loudly when he gave you,' that voice said. You know the voice that always speaks in your mind. Your subconscious.

Meanwhile, in the masters bedroom, Jasper was on his bed holding a picture of a stunning South American beauty. She's smiling beautifully in the picture.

Jasper smiled and stroked the picture lightly, “You know what Amber? I met a fatty today. Don't ask me if I like her cause I don't. She's rude, ugly well maybe a little pretty and she's chubby. I wish you were here right now. You could have met her and maybe liked her. I miss you a lot, best friend. Do you miss me too?”

He stopped, tears clogging his throat. “I couldn't save you that day Amber and I regret it everyday of my life. You were right. I don't love you. I've never loved you. I don't have a place in my heart for love. But you were my best friend. You were always there for me. At least I could have saved you for Tia. She's always crying...”

He continued mumbling until he gradually fell asleep. Sharon also fell asleep hugging a pillow tightly. Two hearts coming closer, yet there's an immeasurable distance.

“What! No dad we don't need this fatty,” Jimmy shouted. Tia had woken them up with her loud cries this morning and Sharon was able to stop her from crying. Now Jasper is saying she should stay till Lena returns.

And the best part is that he'll pay. But one short little devil doesn't want to agree. Sharon sighed and looked at Jimmy. He is so cute in his uniform that many people that see him will think he's a sweet little boy, but only Sharon knows that he's nothing but a short little devil.

“I'm not talking about you. Tia needs her,” Jasper replied and Jimmy tiptoed to look at Tia who is in her high baby carrier. He asked her with a surprisingly soft voice, “Tia you don't need her, do you?”

But the baby turned to look at Sharon and giggled softly at her smile. Jimmy looked like a deflated balloon. “Maybe Tia needs her but I don't! Where's my aunt Lena?” he retorted.

To be continued…

Jasper looked at his watch,“ Why isn't she back from her date yet?” Sharon hit her head lightly. This man is just handsome but he's dumb. What does he expect will happen on a date?

“Dummy don't you want her to get cozy with her boyfriend?,” Sharon remarked totally forgotten about Jimmy's presence. Jasper glared at her and quickly covered Jimmy's ears.

“Dad I know what she mean, okay? I'm seven not a kid anymore. I know all about kisses and stuffs,” Jimmy answered. Sharon and Jasper looked at him surprised.

“What do you mean? You are too young for that!,” Jasper said and Sharon glared at him,“ You really need to be sued for your bad parenting skills.”

“Dad don't worry, I haven't tried it yet!,” Jimmy said as he walked out of the room. “ What do you mean not yet!? Come back here little brat!,” Jasper yelled. But Jimmy already walked out.

Sharon turned to face Tia,“ Honey look at your dad. He's just handsome but can't even teach your brother good morals.” She looked up and saw Jasper boiling with anger.

She quickly carried the baby and ran out of the kitchen even though she knows he can't chase her. Jasper looked at his wheelchair in regret,“ One day I'll teach you a lesson. A very good lesson that you deserve.”

Few minutes later, Sharon walked back to the kitchen. Tia is now asleep. She went to the kitchen cabinet to find food ingredients to prepare as she is now very hungry.

She needed spices but couldn't find it. After searching, she finally found a jar of spices but she is too short to reach it as it is ontop of a shelf. So she took a stool and stood on it but she still couldn't reach it. She kept on jumping until she finally got it. But the thing is, as she touched the jar , she missed a step and fell.

Jasper was passing by when he noticed Sharon in the kitchen cooking. 'She actually has the guts to enter my kitchen like it's hers,' he thought slowly steering his wheelchair towards the kitchen.

He saw all the scenario of her trying to reach the spices jar but couldn't do anything to help. When he saw her falling, he had to do something. He doesn't why he suddenly rushed towards her and she ended up falling on his laps.

She screamed and he groaned cause she landed heavily on his laps. She slowly opened her eyes and saw him facing her directly. She looked at him surprised and relieved that she did not fall on the floor.

“Don't you know you have weight. Get up from my laps right now. This isn't all those reality shows where the male leads kisses the female leads after catching them in their arms. I'm not kissing you,” he uttered harshly.

Sharon frowned and swallowed the 'thank you' she was about to say. “ Apparently you didn't catch me in your arms meanie,” she replied sassily. She stood up and looked at his legs before looking at him suspiciously.

“How are you able to feel my weight ? Are your legs supposed feel any pain ?,” she asked and a nervous look appeared on Jasper's face.

“What are you talking about fatty? Have you checked yourself in the mirror for once. Even if my legs can't feel any pain, I can see that you have weight,” he remarked immediately.

Sharon seem to be convinced by his explanation as she thought of it. She turned around and didn't notice the relief on Jasper's face.

“ Now can you move out of the kitchen? I need to cook,” she said turning back to him.

“What do you mean move out? This is my kitchen and I'll stay if I want to. You don't have the right to command me,” he retorted.

Sharon sighed and hit her head lightly. What was she thinking, asking this rude man to move out of the kitchen? She glared at him and walked away.

Jasper followed her closely and watched her cook. It seems like she can cook. “Hmm... Maybe she's not that bad after all,” he thought as he could smell the delicious aroma coming from the food.

Suddenly Tia woke up and starts to cry. Sharon panicked and quickly removed her apron. “ Switch off the cooker. I'll be right back,” she said. She seem to have forgotten that he's on a wheelchair so he can't do it.

When Sharon came back with Tia in a baby carrier, she met the cooker off and remembered what she had said earlier. She looked at Jasper suspiciously.

“Are you sure you are not hiding anything?,” she asked.

“ What! You said I should switch off the cooker and I did just that,” he answered.

“If you can't walk meaning you can't stand, then how did you switch it off?,” she asked adjusting the baby carrier so Tia is able to rest on her chest well.

The baby sighed in pleasure and slept. Sharon kissed her forehead and glared at Jasper. “ I'm still waiting,” she said.

Jasper walked to the front of the cooker and stretched his hand to touch the switch. “ See this is how I switched it off. I simply stretched my hand,” he retorted looking very annoyed.

Sharon smiled and walked to him then she pat his hair gently and said,“ Good boy.” Jasper opened his mouth surprised and then glared at her. She was about to walk away but he pulled her closer back to him. She almost fell on him again.

“ Seriously... If you fall on me, I'll think you are playing the same trick again and perhaps you really want me to kiss you,” Jasper said cheekily.

“ Who wants to kiss you? Who wants to fall on you? Don't think so highly of yourself. Other guys catch ladies in their arms but you used legs and you are claiming I want to kiss you. In your wildest dream, now let me go!,” she said trying to free herself from Jasper's grasp.

But he refused to let her go. “ You'll pay for what you just said,” he uttered then pulled her again making her fall on his laps with the baby still on her chest. Tia whined cause she felt uncomfortable but Jasper did not care.

He simply put his hands around Sharon making sure she isn't able to escape.

“Oh my poor baby! Where have you been?,” Sheila heard her mom's voice as soon as she walked into the huge mansion. Ben held her hand as if encouraging her to go forward and say what she wants to say.

“Mom I missed you. I was so scared that I wouldn't see you again,” she said rushing into her mother's arms. Her mother looked scared to hear what she said.

She hugged her and kissed her forehead. “ Why would you say so baby? Where have you been?,” she asked her daughter again.

Sheila burst into tears and cried out,“ Mom I got into a little argument with sister so she locked me up in a room for hours.”

Her mother frowned remembering that Ben also complained about Sharon bashing his car. What the heck is wrong with that girl? “ Where is she? Call her right away. How dare she do this to you!? Does she want to kill you!?,” her mother rants.

Sheila was smiling discreetly until her father asked,“ What did you do to her?”

That statement wiped off the smile on her face completely. She was not expecting her father or anyone to ask questions. She turned to look at Ben and he nodded encouragingly.

She took in a deep breath and said,“ Father, I'm pregnant.”

“What!!!,” her mother shrieked loudly.

Aiden stood by his window screen watching the stars. He suddenly thought of everything that happened today. He never wanted to date Sharon but Sheila begged him to do so.

Then, he had been confused on why she would beg her boyfriend to date her sister. She had claimed she didn't like the way her sister was lonely but he always knew there was something else to it. And he was proven right today.

“Let me go right now. Can't you see the baby isn't comfortable!?,”Sharon said wiggling on his laps. Tia whined again and Sharon pat her slowly.

As soon as the baby falls asleep again, she turned to glare at Jasper. “ What are you doing? Let go of me,” she whisper-yell to him.

But Jasper just ignored and even pulled her closer that now she can feel his hot breath on her face.

Sharon gulped suddenly feeling nervous. She wondered what Jasper is planning to do. He removed a stray strand of hair blocking her view and then moved his lips to brush against hers slightly.

Sharon was momentarily stunned as she felt the warm and light sensation on her lips. She got lost in thoughts as she licked her lips and chew it. Jasper sudden laughter brought her out of her reverie.

“You should see your face right now. It's completely pale from just a tiny little peck. I thought you were screaming just now that you don't want to kiss me but your reaction right now is saying the opposite,” he taunts her.

Sharon glared at him frowning before she cleaned her lips. “ I don't care about that stupid peck. So now let me go,” she mumbled grumpily.

“ I'm not holding you,” he smiled cheekily. Sharon looked down and saw that he's really not holding her anymore. This jerk! He dares play her like this. She'll get back at him for doing this.

She stood up and dished out only her own food refusing to give him food. As she ate at the dinning, Jasper looked at her food and wanted to ask for his but seeing the angry look on her face, he quickly kept quiet.

As his stomach grumbled, he sighed and pat it gently. “ Maybe we should try acting nice sometimes, Jas,” he said softly.

Sharon was looking at him. She smirked at the sad expression on his face. Next time he'll think twice before behaving rudely to any other lady.

But she isn't mean so she gave him food only after she had finished with hers. Even so, he didn't say thank you.

*******

Jasper was watching a documentary on the TV when Sharon walked in. She was cooing at Tia who babbled cutely. As soon as she sat down, she took the remote.

“Jeez! You are such a boring person. How can you watch a documentary as boring as this and you don't fall asleep?” she said changing the channel.

Jasper grumbled in protest but she changed it. She simply ignored him. Few minutes later, they are both shouting at each other.

Jasper is shouting because he doesn't know if Sharon's voice is supposed to be louder than the TV or the other way around. Every second, she shouts when an exciting scene is going on in the group.

While Sharon is arguing cause he won't let her enjoy the movie just complaining every minute.

“Must you shout everytime? You are so noisy,” he retorted. Sharon rolled her eyes.

“ Why don't you let me watch the movie in peace. I'm sure you are doing this because I changed the channel,” she answered.

“ I don't really care cause I can just watch it on my phone,” he said.

“ Then keep quiet and let me watch the movie in peace. Can't you see that the handsome male lead is about to kiss the female lead?,” she replied.

“Love... Kiss... S*x... That's what you all ladies know,” he said.

Sharon stood up and put Tia on the chair. Then she stalked towards him. Jasper gulped and steered his wheelchair backwards.

“ What are you doing?,” he asked nervously moving backwards as she came forward. Sharon smiled in a funny way that made his heart skip a beat.

No, don't assume things. It's not the one that your heart skips a beat cause you saw or you are with someone you love or like. This one is purely from anxiousness and shall I say fear.

It's funny. The one headlines describes as a cold and arrogant billionaire actually looks terrified of a lady in his very own sitting room. If the paparazzi were to capture this sight, then his reputation is gone for good.

Sharon walked towards him like she's possessed and Jasper's wheelchair finally hits the wall with nowhere else to go. Don't you think this is silly? Most times, this always happens when a guy is about to kiss a lady and she moves backward before finally getting trapped with nowhere else to turn to.

But in this case, it's a grown man in wheelchair that's trapped against the wall and a pschyo looking lady stalking after him.

She finally got to where he is and is about to do what she has always dreamed of doing many times since she saw him. No... No... It's not to kiss him. It's to hit his head and reset his brain.

She picked up a vase and raised it up about to hit him when the door suddenly opened.

“Brother I'm home!!!,” Lena shouted as she walked into the sitting room. She stopped in her tracks when she saw what is going on in the sitting room?

She looked at the vase in Sharon's hand and Jasper obviously frightened expression.

“What's going on here?,” she asked arching her eyebrows in suprise.

******

“What!!! How!!!When!!! Who!!!,” Mrs Winston shrieked hearing what her daughter just said. How could this girl try to disgrace her like this after how she has always prioritize her over Sharon.

“Mom don't worry, the father of the baby has agreed to take responsibility,” Sheila answered making her mom's expression relax a little.

“ Who is he?,” her father asked coolly. “ Dad it's Aiden,” she dropped the bombshell. Her mother opened her mouth slightly agape, even her father looked at her incredulously.

“Which Aiden are you talking about?,” he asked still feeling skeptical of his daughter's word.

“ Dad, it's the same Aiden we all know. It's Aiden Kings,” Benedict spoke for the first time since they came in.

“So you also know about it and you kept quiet. Have you forgotten Sharon is engaged to be married to Aiden? How could you do this Penny?,” Mr Winston asked looking slightly annoyed

“ Dad that sh*tty wedding is never going to happen. And I didn't steal Aiden from her, he was always mine,” she answered and her father sat on the sofa looking a little bit exhausted.

“Sheila can you even hear yourself? Even if I don't have any issues with this, how will I explain to people?,” he asked

Everyone in the room looked at themselves.

*******

Jimmy walked into the house and was surprised to meet Tia crying. Lena is carrying her and trying to pacify her but she wouldn't stop.

Jasper passed the baby bottle to her and she tried to feed the baby but it seems like she just made her wails worse.

“ How did Tia suddenly become adpated to her? I only left for one night,” Lena complained walking around, pacifying the baby.

“ I guess babies find her lovable,” Jasper said sighing at the sight of Tia crying profusely.

Jimmy looked around searching for someone but he couldn't find her so he asked,“ Hello aunt... Hi Dad, where's fatty?”

“She has left for...,” Jasper couldn't even finish his statement as he watched Jimmy dance happily. He looked at him. He seems very happy to hear her leave.

“ But she'll be back soon,” he burst Jimmy's bubble. The cute boy stopped dancing immediately and turned to look at his father.

“Why? Why is she coming back? I don't want that fatty,” he cried out.

“ Shut up Jimmy, don't be rude. Can't you see that Tia needs her. She has been crying ever since Sharon left,” Lena said trying to feed the baby her bottle but she refused.

Jimmy sighed, carried his bag and turned to walk away. But Jasper called him and whispered something into his ears. Then he burst into laughter.

Lena looked at the two of them suspiciously. Jimmy covered his lips since his father said it's a secret. He walked to his room quickly.

“What did you tell him, brother?,” she asked curiously.

“ Ain't gonna talk,” Jasper replied turning away.

What he actually said was that 'ONCE SHE'S HERE, WE'LL PRANK HER AND TROUBLE HER TOGETHER.'

******

As the chauffeur got to Sharon's house, she got down and thanked him. He bowed smiling and went to look for a suitable place to park since he has been instructed to wait for her.

Sharon took in a deep breath as she looked at the small apartment in front of her. She still can't believe she will be leaving this place. But it's for the best. Now that she's jobless, she knows it would have take much time to get another one.

Cause with Benedict's current influence, she may never even get another job. But that arrogant man, Jasper has offered her a job with a pay she can not resist.

She smiled as she thought of what of had happened back there.

Flashback***

She was not really gonna hit the vase on that rude Mr grumpy. She only wanted to scare him and it had worked perfectly.

She was greatly pleased to see the scared expression he desperately tried to hide. That was until Lena walked in and saw the position they are in.

She had quickly returned the vase and tried to explain.

“What's going on here?,” Lena asked arching her eyebrows in suprise.

“Nothing... It's not what you think,” Sharon said quickly so that Lena won't misunderstand the situation.

Jasper looked at her incredulously. “ What do you mean it's not what she thinks!!!? Lena it is what you thought. It is... She just tried to hit the vase on my head.”
