Chapter Thirty Eight
Jason sat across from Janet, his eyes downcast as she asked him why he always seemed so closed off with her. He knew that he couldn’t keep his secrets from her forever, but he also knew that the truth would only push her away.
“It’s not just that, Janet,” he said, finally looking up at her. “There are things about me that you don’t know, things that I’m not proud of.”
Janet’s brow furrowed in confusion. “What could you have possibly done that’s so terrible?”
Jason let out a bitter laugh. “You have no idea, Janet. You have no idea who I really am.”
Janet shook her head, determined to understand. “It doesn’t matter, Jason. Whatever you’ve done, it’s in the past. We can move forward together, and make a better future.”
Jason’s eyes flickered with emotion, and for a moment, he seemed like he might open up to her. But then he shook his head, his expression hardening once again.
“You don’t understand, Janet. You don’t know what I’ve done, what I’m capable of.”
Janet reached across the table and took his hand, her voice softening. “I don’t need to know everything about you, Jason. I just want to be with you, to support you.”
Jason’s eyes met hers, and for a moment, he seemed to soften as well. But then he pulled his hand away, standing up from the table.
“You don’t get it, Janet,” he said, his voice cold. “I’m not the man you think I am. I’m not the man anyone thinks I am. And until you know the truth, you’ll never understand why I can’t be with you.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Janet’s eyes widened with hurt and confusion as Jason turned and walked away. She was angry that he wouldn’t let her in, but at the same time, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his story than he was letting on.
As she sat alone at the table, Janet couldn’t help but wonder what Jason was hiding from her, and if she would ever truly know the man she had fallen in love with.
As they entered Jason’s room, he closed the door behind them, and Janet could feel his gaze on her as he leaned against the door. She took a deep breath and walked up to him, taking his hand in hers.
“Whatever it is, we can overcome it together,” she said, her voice soft and reassuring.
Jason’s expression softened, and he pulled her close to him, his lips hovering over hers. “You’re so stubborn,” he said, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Janet grinned. “I prefer to call it determined.”
Jason chuckled and kissed her, his arms wrapping around her waist as he pulled her body against his. She could feel his warmth and the hardness of his muscles, and it sent shivers down her spine.
As they kissed, their passion grew, and they pressed their bodies together, their hands roaming over each other’s skin. Janet’s fingers tangled in Jason’s hair, and she moaned softly as he nibbled on her earlobe.
“I don’t want to hide anything from you,” Jason said, pulling back slightly to look into her eyes. “But you have to promise not to judge me.”
Janet nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. She didn’t know what to expect, but she was willing to stand by him, no matter what.
“I was involved in some things in my past,” Jason said, his voice low and hesitant. “Things that I’m not proud of.”
Janet’s brow furrowed, and she looked at him with concern. “What kind of things?”
Jason hesitated, his gaze dropping to the floor. “I was part of a gang.”
Janet’s eyes widened in shock, and she pulled away slightly. “A gang?”
Jason nodded, his jaw clenched. “I did things that I’m not proud of, things that I can’t even talk about.”
Janet felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She couldn’t imagine the pain and guilt that Jason must be feeling, and she wanted to comfort him.
“But that’s in the past,” she said, taking his hand in hers again. “You’re not that person anymore. You’ve changed, and I know that you’re a good person now.”
Jason looked at her, his eyes full of emotion. “I want to be a better person for you,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Janet smiled, her heart overflowing with love for this man. “You already are.”
They kissed again, their passion reigniting as they moved towards the bed. They lay down together, their bodies entwined, as they continued to explore each other’s bodies. Janet felt a sense of happiness and contentment wash over her as she lay in Jason’s arms, knowing that they had each other and that they would overcome any obstacle together.
Jason and Janet lay on the bed, their bodies intertwined as they caught their breath. Janet’s head rested on Jason’s chest as they basked in the aftermath of their passion. After a few moments, Janet spoke up.
“Do you think we could do something to help Chloe and Aiden?”
Jason looked down at her, his expression serious. “I don’t know, Janet. Liam and Aaron are both very powerful, and going against them could be dangerous.”
“But we can’t just sit here and do nothing while they suffer,” Janet protested. “Chloe and Aiden deserve to be happy together.”
Jason sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I know. But we have to be careful. Liam and Aaron won’t take kindly to anyone interfering in their affairs.”
Janet sat up, looking at Jason with determination. “I don’t care. I’m willing to take the risk if it means helping Chloe and Aiden.”
Jason gazed at her with admiration, feeling a surge of love for her. “Alright,” he said finally. “But we have to plan carefully. We need to come up with a strategy that won’t put anyone in danger.”
Janet nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “Let’s do it,” she said.
They spent the next few hours discussing different ideas and possibilities. They talked about ways to get Chloe out of Liam’s grasp, and how they could help Aiden. They also talked about how they could gather allies and resources to aid them in their cause.
As they talked, their plan began to take shape. They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they were both determined to see it through.
“We can do this,” Janet said, looking at Jason with determination.
Jason smiled at her, feeling grateful for her unwavering support. “Yes, we can,” he said.
They spent the rest of the evening discussing their plan and fine-tuning the details. As they talked, their love for each other only grew stronger, fueling their determination to help Chloe and Aiden
They knew it wouldn’t be easy, but they were both willing to do whatever it takes to help their friends. Together, they will face whatever obstacles came their way, and they would emerge victorious.
