What's all this? And where is she?
The longer my mother is in the building without me the more damage she can cause.
"Mom what are you doing here? Again. Also whose shoes are those?" I asked rolling my eyes as soon as I saw her.
"Good morning to you too my angel! Good morning Jackson." She cheered blowing air kisses to us both.
"Umm? What is happening …"
"I'm leaving town for the rest of the year okay? I've got...business to attend to in Mexico."
Something must be happening with the cartel on her side of the family. My uncle must have messed something up again.
It's literally February so she'll be back in the next year.
"You had to come all the way here to tell me that?Why didn't you just call me?" I asked.
"Sweetheart...you know I have to change my number when I leave the country...obviously I couldn't call you. Call you with what anyways? Air? I don't have my new burner yet."
All I can do right now is roll my eyes.
"You need anything from me while you're away ma'am?" Jackson asked politely.
Such a suck up it's nauseating.
"Not yet but I'll be sure to call you if I do."
"Alright well if that's all I'd like to get to work." I dismissed.
"Why do you hate me so darling?" She asked in a belittling...and condescending manner.
"Oh fuck you. You know exactly why. You can leave now."
I couldn't keep it in any longer.I would have went insane.
Jackson shot me a "calm down" glance and I managed to bite my lip gently to silence myself.
"Mom you ready?" Brian barged into the office just in time.
My mom didn't say anything. She simply flicked her hair back and walked out angrily.
I hope she trips and falls down a mountain.
We have a very…complicated relationship.
"Dueces sis" Brian then exited after grabbing my vodka from my desk.
"Brian!"
*door slams*
"You need to stop allowing her to get under your skin Bel."
"Say one more word and I'll shoot you right now Jackson I swear."
I'm so mad I could stab him with my sharp nails if he steps closer.
"Fine." He raised his hands, defeated.
My assistant knocked not so long afterwards, to tell me she needed to take the rest of the day off because her son was sick.
"It's okay you can take today...tomorrow...actually take as many days as you need until he's 100% better."
"Thank you miss Knight"
Yeah so like…she's fired.
When you work for me you're not allowed to have a life or life problems.
I instructed her to grab the boxes on my desk and throw them in the trash before she left.
I then got a notification from my lawyer saying the judge dropped the case.
I knew Jackson would sort it out.
"Bel?" He tried to get my attention but I couldn't help but breakdown.
Jackson's POV
Her back was turned towards me and I saw her head drop as she placed her phone on her table.
"Bel?" I knew something was definitely wrong.
After I called out her name, she dropped to the ground immediately and let out a deep sigh and sobbed.
I rushed over to comfort her.
Belinda's POV
His arms immediately wrapped around me and I sunk into them.
I know I'm a tough one but I couldn't help it. That man put me through hell. I'm glad to be rid of him legally as well.
I need a drink.
When I eventually calmed down after having a drink, he drove me to the mall.
I'm going shopping because we're going out tonight.
We arrived at the mall and I quickly finished fixing my makeup in the car before stepping out.
"Here we are miss Knight" Jackson said while opening my door.
I nodded and jumped out.
I walked into so many stores and eventually when he couldn't carry anymore bags, I felt it was only right to tell him to put them in the car and come back so he could carry more bags.
The dresses I'm getting are as short as a belt and very risky. I'll be okay tho because Jackson is with me 24/7 so I can wear risky clothes and feel sexy in peace.
Soon he returned and I told him to take a seat because I'd be a while in this store I'm currently at.
The dress I'm trying on right now looks disrespectfully good on me. It's very short and tight fitted. It's got a very low cut in front and has an open back vibe to it. The material is silky and a deep blue shade.
I walked out the fitting room and asked Jackson what he thought and it took him a while to answer me. His eyes traveled from my eyes to where the dress ended and back.
"You look good" He finally said after I did a quick 360 spin.
"He's right" Someone behind me said.
I turned to face the voice origin and listen…the woman was too stunned to speak.
This man looks like young Johnny Depp.
"I'm sorry. I just have trouble keeping my thoughts to myself sometimes" He said chuckling.
My jaw dropped so low, I'm shocked I didn't start drooling.
"Where are my manners love? Calvin Kelce nice to meet you." He smiled while still admiring me.
