Billionare's Lost love

Ch-2

Janette revealed as an only child.
"Your parents must be loving you very much".
" Very much", she agreed, "but i wouldn't be able to do what they want".
" you mean your parent planned for your future. That's too bad".
"No, i mean I'm very weak"
"Weak? You're fine to me"
"I am to everybody", she smiled.
There was concern in Nick's eyes.
Ignoring it, she said" i thought lisa will join us".
"Do you mind?".
Janette hesitated, " ofcourse, not ".
" Good.. Now, let's have our lunch. I'm starving".

It was late noon when they finally relaxed themselves in the drawing room.
"Jane, come and sit beside me". Obediently she went.
" Good girl! Now sleep, you look tired".
In no time janette slept.

When she woke up, she felt like she was cuddled by someone. She opened her eyes and saw nicholas looking at her intently.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I might have slept my life away". And tried to move away but he didn't let her go.

" Jane, look at me"
She did.
And what she saw, she didn't know. She only knew that she had never felt for someone like this before. Gently he took her soft lips. When she responded, he stopped abruptly and asked, "you've never been kissed before? "
"Yes". Her eyes searched his. Then he held her close and whispered, " Jane, from the moment i set my eyes on you i knew I'll be unfaithful to my wife".
"Oh, please don't. Lisa is my bestfriend. I...".
" Do you like me? "He cut her.
" i like you alot"
"I am very glad to hear that. It's worth my life. My little angel".
She ignored it and said, " my mother might be needing me now"
"Are you always that attentive? "
"Sometimes" she smiled.

"Jane"
"Yes"
"Would you mind if i say I've fallen for you? "
Janette stared at him and without replying made for the door.
"Jane, please try to understand me". He caught her up. " It just happened. I tried hard to resist the feelings but it can't be help. What a mess I've made". He cursed himself and turned his back to her.
"Nicholas"
Slowly he turned and saw her in tears. He reached out but she moved away and said, "try to forget me. Lisa is too good to be betrayed".

Two weeks passed with continous phone calls from Nicholas. Janette ignored it everytime.

Janette was having a headache as usual when her mum came in. She looked up and smiled, " mum, come nearer i want to see you". Lucy sat down beside her daughter and said , "Love, Nicholas came". She saw her daughter face lit up. " can i send him in".
Before janette could say anything, Nicholas and her dad entered. He sat down beside her and took her hand in his. Her parents left them alone.
"Jane, why didn't you inform me earlier? "
"What difference will it make"
"It will, alot". He sounded angry. " how long have you been in bed? ".
" only today"she lied.
"Then why didn't you answer my phone calls? "He paused kissing her forehead.
"My little angel, I've never been inlove like i do now".
"Then why did you marry lisa? "
"I thought i loved her, not until you came into my life"
"What can i do"
"If you love me i will divorce lisa and marry you"
"I'm sorry, nick," she paused turning away. "I don't love you".
She knew she has hurt her only love. But what can she do?. Finally, he said, " okay then, goodbye jane. But always remember that I'll never love another woman like i love you".
And without another word he walked out.
Janette cried.
But wasn't that better for both of them?.

Two days later, Janette called Nicholas.
"Oh, my love!! I thought you'll never want to see me again"
Janette laughed inspite of her unbearable headache.
"I love you, Janette".
And the connection dropped. Janette stared at the ceiling. It was spinning and her sight became blurred.

It was first morning, when Nicholas received a letter. When he opened and read, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Dearest Nick,
I am dying. I only wanted to say that
I love you very much.
Misunderstanding can be solved by
My parents.
Love, Jane.
Only then he realized, some part of him had died long ago when he lost her love.

Born on '97, june 14

Beside this memorial stone, a beautiful portrait of her was installed.
