Hörny Boss

Chapter 51

JACKSON'S POV 

I know what is going through Vera's mind. She is wondering what I would do to her if I finally got to tie her hands and legs and punish her as the loser of the challenge she invented.

I made her keep wondering because I suddenly felt different. After making love to her without being rough or hard on her, I felt like a new man.

I became calmer, and my response to the opposite sex became barely noticeable when she was right beside me. My frequent masturbation ceased and that made me think she's a fairy.

She must have used magic on me. I can't believe that I was able to control myself enough to give her pleasure and not voraciously eat her up like a beast.

I used to hear stories and watch funny movies of a beast saved by the love of beauty, or a wolf loved by a girl, or a sleeping princess awoken by the melodious voice of a poor boy, or a princess that loves an orphan, and so many times I refused to believe such things happen.

I also became an anti-fan of love when Monica left me because of my illness and her fear that I wouldn't be able to save my company and become as rich and famous as I am.

I avoided anything that would make me believe otherwise until Vera sneaked into my office and bolted at the sight of me masturbating. 

I didn't believe she would help me, especially when I spoke to her harshly at first, but she stayed and saved my perishing soul. She performed a miracle, an unbelievable one because I can't stop wondering what she has done to me.

I also didn't know that falling in love would be so easy until her. I had trust issues, but she cleared my doubts and made me want to open my heart so the world would see how much I trusted her. Sometimes I tell myself that I don't deserve her.

For the rest of the first week of December, it was fun. She regularly asked me to tell her why I didn't take my revenge immediately after she lost. I avoided the discussion every time she brought it up. She didn't know what I was planning for her.

I took her to the hospital for checkups. Took her on a tour of New York with my private jet. He bought her a brand new car and privately got an investigator to help her discover what Kenneth was up to since he already knows that she was dragging his ass to court.

The millionaire must be thinking she wouldn't do anything because he can easily close the case and sort everything out with money and that's why he hasn't responded or tried to talk her out of it, so I want to take him by surprise and hit him hard.

I won't only take the child who was confirmed to be well taken care of away from him, I will make sure he pays for every pain he has inflicted on my angel. 

How can he treat a woman like that and still not be remorseful? He deserves to rot in jail! Even if he doesn't care about her, he should have treated her right for the sake of the baby at least. 

I agree that I can be mean, or ruthless sometimes, but I trust that I won't hurt the mother of my child, no matter what she has done to me or how much I despise her. And I don't even think Vera ever did anything wrong to him or anyone else. He's just a bástard!

I will make sure I deal with everyone who has hurt Vera. My next target will be her mother's boyfriend, Jessica's father. He is the root of her sufferings! Her parents' case is different and complicated.

The rest of the month wasn't bad either. As the days turned to weeks and progressed to Christmas, her baby bump and other signs of pregnancy became more visible.

It didn't change her charming looks, body shape, or behavior except for the fact that she recently started nagging and eating less because she is afraid of letting the changes affect her physically.

She spent more time talking to Hannah about what to do and what not to do concerning her pregnancy. She also took Tim out occasionally to buy things for Christmas.

I was also left to wonder where Monica went that she didn't come to the mansion or call me for anything for two weeks and a few days until Christmas.

I hoped she wouldn't show up again, though I was a bit worried since she doesn't stay away from me that much even when we weren't under the same roof, I would bump into her or should I say she would intentionally run into me so I would give her money. 

I thought about it and decided that she must still be loaded with cash for her to be like that or she's celebrating Christmas in peace for once. Also, she must've agreed to stay away from Vera's path.

I thought Christmas would be great until she showed up on Christmas Eve. We went to visit Father Christmas for Tim's sake, and she appeared from nowhere.

"I can't believe my family is out here having fun without the woman of the house!" She snorted.

Vera's grip on my hand tightened. I suspected she was holding back whatever venom she would have infested on Monica because Tim was watching.

"Tim, it's time to receive gifts from Father Christmas!" She grabbed Tim's hand and led him to the crowd.

I watched them to see where they went before turning to look at Monica. "Where have you been?"

"Don't tell me that you missed me. Hohoho! Almighty Jack pretending to care!" Monica laughed, tapping my cheek.

"Stop drawing attention with your loud mouth, it would be better if you disappear again!" I muttered under my breath.

"That's never gonna happen again because this is payback time and I will keep the revenge dice rolling until some stubborn dirt gets cleaned!" She said sarcastically.

"What nonsense are you spitting? I hope you haven't gotten yourself into some kind of problem, I don't have money to settle debts now, so don't mess around!" I warned her.

"Sweetheart, don't worry, I have swindled quite a lot from you these past years. I think I am content now. See you again when I see you, babe!" She staggered off to the crowd before I got a chance to ask her what she meant by that.

"She's probably drunk again! This woman will never change! How can God compliment a family that has served Him all their lives with such a daughter? I think Vera is right!" I shrugged and swam through the crowd to look for her and Tim.
