As soon as Sharon and Jasper walked in, a slender beauty rushed towards them carrying a wailing baby. Sharon was taken aback.

She silently hit herself inwardly and whispered, “I'm such a fool. I just willingly followed him not even thinking about the possibility of him having a mistress. What if she starts a fight thinking I'm here to snatch her man?”

She was very surprised when the lady said, “Brother thank God you are back. I've fed her, changed her diaper, bathed her and even sang sweet lullabies to her but she won't stop crying.”

She walked around in a semi circle trying to pacify the wailing baby. “What do I do now? I have a date with Mac and I'm not even ready yet,” she panicked not even noticing Sharon.

“Calm down Lena. Just calm down. I'll call the nanny service right away and see if there's anyone available to watch Tia for tonight,” Jasper said, bringing out his phone.

“Let me carry her. I may not be good at many things but I'm good with babies,” Sharon said and Lena finally noticed her. She looked at Jasper, her eyes twinkling with mischief and amusement.

“Brother, you actually brought a lady home. She's so beautiful and...” She didn't finish when Jasper suddenly interrupted her.

“Shut up Lena. I thought you had a date. And she's not beautiful at all. She's rude and chubby. I only helped her,” Jasper remarked.

“You arrogant bastard. I didn't ask for your help,” Sharon replied, pulling his hair lightly.

Jasper winced in pain and said, “Hey watch it! No cussing in front of my daughter. I don't want your bad character to influence my princess.”

Lena, feeling amused, watched them banter about foolish pointless things. The baby seemed to have noticed that they ignored her, so she let out a loud scream followed by wails.

Her sudden loud cries immediately stopped those two from arguing. Even Lena was scared by her sudden outburst. “Shh... Shh... Shh… Baby don't cry,” she whispered, trying to pacify the baby who only increased the volume of her cries.

“Give her to me and get dressed,” Sharon said, collecting the baby from her. Lena hurriedly pecked the baby's cheek and ran upstairs to get dressed.

Sharon carried the tiny pretty baby and lay against her chest before patting her gently. She then began to sing low lullabies. Jasper watched in amazement as Tia slowly stopped crying and even started giggling.

He looked at Sharon, who was smiling while singing to Tia. It is actually surprising that Tia allowed her to even carry her cause ever since Amber's death, she wouldn't allow anyone to touch her.

Just crying profusely. It was only recently that she began to accept Lena carrying her. Even when the wet nurse wants to breastfeed her, she wouldn't accept it. That's one of the reasons why he didn't bother hiring wet nurses again.

Tia giggled again and Jasper lifted his beautiful hazel eyes to look at them. His heartbeat quickened just gazing at Sharon's enchanted face with the most beautiful smile plastered on it.

He's just realized that she actually looks more pretty with a smile on her face. She was quite pitiful earlier with dried tears and snot evident on her face. Now she's smiling so beautifully at Tia, who seems very happy to see the smile.

He lay back on his wheelchair obtaining a comfortable position then he observed Sharon quietly. She can't be considered as beautiful. Yet she isn't ugly. Well, he can't really say much about the baggy clothes she's wearing.

She is not tall. And she is a little bit chubby. Jasper shook his head at that thought. Nope! She is not a little bit chubby. She is very chubby. The only thing he likes about her right now is her beautiful smile that Tia seems to have fallen in love with.

Other than that, her other qualities are so horrible. He listed them in his head. She's so rude, sassy, and ungrateful. She kept on screaming for him to let her go when he only did her a favor. She looked like she didn't have anywhere to go back there and he only tried to save her from freezing to death.

He sighed and soliloquized, “This is what happens when you try to be good Jas. It's just better to keep your cold-hearted reputation.” Sharon heard him mumbling and turned to look at him.

“What did you say grumpy?” she asked him. He frowned at her for calling him grumpy. “I wasn't talking to you fatty,” Sharon gasped pouting.

Jasper looked at her pouted lips and said,“ If that is what you call a cute pout, I'd rather kiss a duck instead of you.”

Sharon glared at him, “Who wants to kiss you anyway? I'll have to bend down to do so. Why stress myself?” Jasper looked down at his wheelchair and glared at her. Was he just praising her right now? He must have been made to do so.

This short lady makes his blood boil with anger that he feels like teaching that sexy little rude mouth of hers a lesson. Oh jeez! He just called her mouth sexy. What's going on?

They were about to start another war of shouting and taunting each other when Tia whined cutely. She seemed to have realized that someone stole Sharon's attention from her, so she protested softly. Sharon glared at Jasper and quickly turned back to the baby.

“Shhh honey don't cry. Don't mind daddy. He likes bullying me a lot. Shh baby don't cry,” she said softly trying to pacify the baby.

Jasper looked at her in disbelief and remarked, “Me! How did I bully you? Tia does daddy look like someone that can bully anyone?” He made a cute sad facial expression. Sharon shook her head at his shamelessness.

The baby started to cry loudly while pouting her lips sadly. She made a hungry expression with her small lips. Sharon turned to look at Jasper, “I thought your sister already fed her but now she's hungry again. Where's her bottle?”

“She won't take it. She's supposed to have breast milk during this time but she won't accept any of the wet nurses I hired for her,” Jasper said, shaking his head sadly. He watched her kiss Tia's forehead lovingly. An idea suddenly clicked in his head.

“Why don't you breastfeed her instead?” he said smugly, feeling proud of his idea. “What!” Sharon almost choked.

Benedict walked into the huge mansion whistling softly. A maid came forward and collected his briefcase while greeting him. He watched the maid go as her mini skirt swayed sideways.

Then he shook his head frowning at the fact that he was just looking at a maid lustfully. He walked into the main sitting room and was very relieved to see both parents there.

He didn't even notice the worried looks on their faces as he rushed forward to complain about what had happened today.

He greeted them and quickly said,“ Dad Sharon bashed my car. She has destroyed it so badly that I'll have to pay more money to repair it than how much I bought it.”

“That daughter of mine is really becoming a rogue nowadays. Why is she just causing trouble everywhere?” His father asked, frowning slightly. Benedict was very relieved to see his reaction.

“That's not the most important thing right now. I can't find my daughter!,” his mother shrieked and Benedict looked at her confused.

“Mom, what are you talking about?” he asked worriedly. His mother held his hands and said,“ Ever since Sheila left this morning, she hasn't returned or called. I tried calling but it's not going through.”

“Did she tell you where she was going?” Ben asked, hugging his mother. She shook her head to indicate NO. “I'll go find her right away mom.Please stop crying,” he said and kissed her forehead.

Then he walked out thinking, ‘There's only one place Sheila can be now and it's Aiden place.’

To be continued…

"What! I can't breastfeed her. I'm not a nursing mother, so how am I supposed to feed her?" Sharon answered, shocked by his sudden request.

"Just put your breast in her mouth and let her play with it or something. At least to stop her from crying," he said, and Sharon blushed hearing the word 'BREAST' from his mouth. Jasper smirked as he noticed her blush.

What is she thinking about making her face turn red like this? She turned to look at the crying baby and said, "I still don't think that's a good idea. Just tell me where the bottle is, and I'll try feeding her."

Jasper tapped his forehead, frustrated, and said, "I'm her father here, not you. What part of SHE WON'T TAKE IT! You don't understand."

Sharon glared at him and decided to try feeding her, even though there's little or no possibility that milk would actually come out. "I'm not doing it cause you asked me too. I'm only doing this because it hurts to watch this cute princess cry," she mumbled.

Then she sat down and was about to unzip her dress when she suddenly realized something.

She looked up, and sure enough, Jasper was staring at her keenly, not blinking. Immediately, he saw that she caught him staring and quickly looked away.

Sharon smirked and said, "You are so shameless. You pervert. I wonder who it was that said he would rather kiss a duck instead of me. Now he's eagerly waiting to see a glimpse of my b**bs."

"Who? Me! I wasn't even looking at you. Just staring at Tia. And I'll never change the fact that I'd rather kiss a duck than you," he answered.

Sharon sighed; she had never met anyone as shameless as him. "I don't care. We both know you are lying, and I really don't care. Now turn around."

"What! Why?" he retorted.

"Can't you see the baby crying? Please turn around," Sharon begged, swallowing her pride.

He smiled and said, "Now that you are asking nicely for once. I'll turn around." So he turned the wheelchair around, and very soon he could hear loud slurps. Tia sucks greedily and really fast, making loud sounds.

Once again, Jasper is surprised that Tia actually sucked her breast after rejecting countless wet nurses. As he sat there waiting, his mind wandered away. He imagined himself sucking her nipples instead of Tia.

Would it be perky and pointed? Would it be very pinkish and swollen? Would her b**bs be huge size or only a handful? He immediately shook his head before he could think of anything else lewd.

"Jeez! I can't believe I'm thinking of that fatty in such a way. What's come over me?" he asked himself. A few minutes later, the slurping sound was reduced, and Jasper was already getting tired of waiting. He was sick of thinking of lewd things.

"Sharon, aren't you done yet?" he asked grumpily.

"What do you mean by that? The baby is hungry. Let her eat to her heart's content. Stop being jealous," she answered.

"Why would I be jealous of your small sized breast? I've seen much more than that," he replied.

"You know what. You are the most arrogant, rude man I've ever met in my life," she retorted angrily.

"I bet you've never met guys like me before. What am I even saying? You've never met anyone like me before. I'm the nation's husband," he said.

Sharon breathed in deeply, trying to calm herself. The man is so infuriating. It's just better to ignore him. She smiled as she looked down at the adorable baby who was now sleeping. It actually feels strange to breastfeed a baby that is not hers.

She gently brushed off the baby's soft hair strands, and the baby sighed in satisfaction. As Sharon watched her, she remembered all that had happened today.

From losing her job to getting cheated on. She wiped off the tears escaping from her eyes. 'I won't waste any more tears on that bastard again.'

She looked at the baby and smiled, then she stared at Jasper with his back turned against her. 'His wife must have been so lucky. She's got a cute little baby like this and a husband that must have loved her.'

She gently releases Tia's mouth from her breast as Tia is fully asleep. She wondered if any breast milk even came out as she was slurping on it excitedly.

"Papa! You're back!" The sound of someone sitting in the wheelchair jolted Sharon out of her reverie. She looked up and saw a young boy, probably about seven or six, sitting on Jasper's lap.

The boy looks just like Jasper. But instead of soft brown hair, he has golden hair. He probably got it from his mother. She stared at the cute little boy in adorable pajamas and thought, 'That arrogant bastard is really lucky. Why are his kids so cute? I feel like running away with one of them.

She then looked at the little princess in her arms. The baby is pouting. "Papa, where have you been? I missed you. I kept telling Tia to stop crying, but she wouldn't listen," he said with a cute pout.

Sharon smiled as she watched him complain to his father, who silently listened. He suddenly stopped talking and looked at his father, "Papa I don't see Aunt Lena or Tia anywhere. I can't even hear her crying."

Jasper was about to respond when he abruptly rose from his lap and looked around the room.He finally noticed Sharon and frowned.

"Papa, who is this and why is she carrying Tia? She looks fat, just like a pig," he said rudely, and Jasper laughed, not reprimanding him.

When Benedict walked to Aiden's penthouse, he was surprised to see the penthouse locked. He knocked over and over again but got no response.

He was surprised. "She should be here," he thought, and turned around to leave. But suddenly he heard faint voices. He called out his sister's name and heard the faint voices again. He quickly called for someone to come help him open the door.

Sheila looked exhausted and famished as he finally let them out. "She has to eat something now. She must be hungry," Aiden said, leading her into the sitting room.

Ben wondered how long they had been there. "Sheila, who did this to you?" he asked and she managed to cough out, "It's Sharon."

That bitch again!

★★★★★

Sharon frowned and thought, 'I must have been blind before. What a cute boy! He is just a mean little boy. He is as arrogant as his father.'

"Papa, I need answers right now!" he shouted with a cold expression. Sharon noticed that the cold expression on his face is similar to that of his father.

Jasper chuckled, and Sharon glared at him. He can't even chastise his son for being impolite when he is impolite himself. Jasper looked at the expression on her face knowing that she was thinking of something bad about him.

He grinned, 'I don't care. She doesn't think of anything good about me anyway.' He even did a high-five with his son to show that he's proud of what he just said.

"Dad! Who is this fatty?" Jimmy asked again and Jasper grinned. This is really his son. He even said the correct nickname.

"Jimmy, she is..." Jasper trailed off realizing that he doesn't even know her name. Shit! He didn't ask for her name. He looked at Sharon and shouted, "Fatty, what's your real name?"

Jimmy opened his mouth slightly agape, "For real dad, you don't know her name! And you brought her home. You brought a strange woman... No, not a woman... A strange fatty home!"

Sharon's frown deepened. Why are they talking about her as if she isn't present? She glared at Jasper. He was telling her not to cuss in front of the baby. That he doesn't want her to badly influence his daughter. But who is influencing who now? He has totally taught his son his rude and arrogant ways.

She imagines the boy's future right now. An arrogant billionaire who is also a playboy. In the future, he will act and speak rudely to women.She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't even realize they were asking her questions.

"Dad, why is fat looking that way? She's very scared right now," he said and Jasper looked at Sharon wondering why she had a scowl on her face. She must be thinking of something bad about him again.

"I said before that a smile on your face is horrible but this scowl on your face is even worse," he retorted, his harsh tone shrugging Sharon out of her thoughts.

"Shut up! Anytime you open your mouth, I always have a headache. It's such a pity that God gave you a handsome face," Sharon replied, feeling annoyed.

Jasper smirked, "So now you admit that I'm handsome. Tell me something I don't know darling... Thought that was a mistake. I mean fatty. Who would call a fatty like you darling?"

Jimmy rolled his eyes wondering why the adults are behaving childishly. As he watched them bicker, he sighed and hit his head. "Dad, I'm so disappointed in you right now!" As they heard his voice, they stopped bickering.

He then turned to look at Sharon. Smiling sweetly, he asked, "What is your name?" Sharon looked at him suspiciously. His smile... This is the first time he has smiled since he entered. ‘What is this little devil planning now?’

"Sharon. You are such a cute little..." Sharon couldn't finish her statement because he interrupted. "Sharon? What a beautiful name?! Such a waste on a fatty like you!" Jimmy retorted.

To be continued…

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…
