Chapter 174: Chapter 174

Time passed and Kyhe arrived at the apartment. He knocked on the door, then waited. Jhonia went and got the door, she was already dressed in jeans pants, work blouse, and flat shoe.

“You’re early.” She said to him, and he just hugged her with a sigh of relief.

“I was calling, why didn’t you pick my calls?” he asked, while still hugging her. Jhonia pulled back and looked at him with a smile. He looked behind her and saw Orean and Jae, Jae gave a ‘no’ signal. Telling Kyhe that he didn’t get through to her.

“I am here to take you to mom. After I told her you were coming over, she sent me here to send you back early.” He explained to her and closed the door behind him.

He gave a small nod to Jae. Jhonia had nodded and walked over to her phone, she picked it and powered it on after some time the phone was ringing her ears with notifications. She waved it to him.

“I didn’t ignore you, the battery died.” Shetold him after seeing that most of the calls were from him. She checked the rest and decided to go and called the girls.

“Excuse me for a bit.” She said and they all nodded before she walked off to her room and inside her bathroom.

“Okay, why did you say we have to speak about Alshane? And why are you here?” Kyhe said looking at them before he asked Jae, then turned to Orean and asked him.

“Nearce might be responsible for Jhonia's parents' death. It killed Mrs. Pinnock when she went to get answers but then she returned completely dead after she returned from here. This was the second time I saw her break like that, whatever confirms her guess is within this apartment. She told me to watch her around the clock and Nearce is to be shot if he seems threatening to her or not.” Orean said to him, answering first and shocking the both of them. He explains how she returned to him after leaving Jhonia’s apartment which means whatever she wanted to confirm was done there in the apartment. He added the details of his order from Mrs. Pinnock to be on watch for Jhonia.

“For me, Alshane and his mother. There's something weird about them. I found out they were looking into Jhonia, and I came across a strange photo.” He said and explained what he had come to know about Alshane and his mother, and told he came across a strange picture.

“Nearce, is doing some shady shit that might put Jhonia at risk. Orean, you need to be on watch around the clock, the same goes for me. And for Alshane and his mother... i think they know Jhonia’s mother or could be her lost looking family, who is looking for her. Yesterday, Jhonia went after Mrs. Manaik calling her mom. That woman looked pleased to see how Jhonia reacted to her doing. I know she’s up to no good but as for Alshane, I'm not sure but he adores Jhonia. I don't think he would try to open wounds that she barely healed from.” Kyhe said to them, then turned to Orean and said to him and said it goes for him too. He then began to explain what happened the day before and how pleased Mrs. Manaik looked after Jhonia went after her the way she did. But he assured them that Alshane would not do her harm because he adores her.

Meanwhile, Jhonia was still inside the bathroom on the phone with the girls.

“I had no idea Nearce was like this.” Tianjie said to them.

“I second that he always seemed good in appearance and someone trustworthy, it was until Jhonia made him look perfect but in return he killed her. He started to show who he really is, he must have thought Jhonia was weak, and he could control forever. How dare he?” Nielle said, speaking on his behalf then taking a turn because he doesn’t deserve it as he was only faking. She added how he must have thought of Jhonia being weak and asked.

“I can’t imagine why he would do this.” Madiea said her voice wasn’t its usual sound.

“He must have made a list of people who were above him in business, and decided to slowly take them down but he must have also thought he wouldn’t be friends with them. He must have forgotten about the list because he seems kind and caring towards them, your husbands. Then when they chose their wife over him, he must have gone into rage and decided that he won’t take them off. I’m saying this because I once came across a list of names in his paperwork and thought nothing of it then. I’m sorry, i wish we could speak longer but i have to go.” Jhonia told them about a list Nearce must have made back when he wasn’t in a high place. But changed his mind because he cared about the girls' husbands after knowing them. He must have changed his mind back because they chose their wife over him. She told them why she said that and apologized to them. She got up from the toilet bowl and end the called after the girls said bye to her, she opens the door as Kyhe was getting ready to knock.

“Sorry, I was running out of patience.” He said to her with a smile.

“Of course, I'm sure you can’t wait to make me yours.” Jhonia responded to him blushing; he pulled her to him and placed a kiss on her lips.

“Get a room.” Jae said and Kyhe broke their kiss.

“We do have a room, it’s you who need to leave.” He said to Jae and Jhonia along with Orean chuckled at Kyhe’s remarks to Jae.

Jhonia, Kyhe and Orean left to go to Kyhe’s mother’s house after Jae left. Time passed and they arrived at the Knights residence, Jhonia however was lost in thoughts going back and forth in pain and happiness of Nearce.

“I just want to put him behind me.” Jhonia said aloud, without noticing she’s thinking aloud. Kyhe hugged her into his arms, as they sat in the back seat of his car with his driver while Orean drove in her car.

“I know. But I don't want you to worry about it, you just need to say it. When you’re ready it will be all over the news.” Kyhe said he told her not to worry because all she has to do is say the word and he will make it happen. Kyhe knows that she is afraid Nearce might do something to hurt him, but he can’t seem to understand why.

“Jhoni, would you like to know how much I can protect myself if he tries to harm me or anyone for me?” Kyhe asked her after calling her Jhoni, and she glanced at him instantly.

“You don’t understand Kyhe, it’s not us I fear him for but his mother who is falling apart and is afraid to say it. It’s her who is afraid for me and that’s what worries me.” She opens up a bit telling him it’s not for them why she fears for but his mother, Mrs. Pinnock. She is the one who is having it hard. Kyhe understood a part of her worries and decided to keep quiet for now because silence is better than talking at times. He placed a kiss on her forehead and hugged her into his arms. They left the car and went inside.

“Jhonia, my baby you are here?” Mrs. Knight said with joy asking her.

“I have been outside with Kyhe for some time now, I was so worried if i’m late, his ghost was on the search for, and his secretary wouldn’t make it in time to get his mother’s blessings.” Jhonia replied to her saying she then said her worries and explained herself.

“Ah, why would you need my blessings and what do you have to do with the girl he was looking for?” She asked her why she would need her blessing and what concern she has with Kyhe’s ghost girl.

“I’m Jhoni-ni, it’s a name from my parents and the blessing of me being his girlfriend.” Jhonia said putting her in shock then said to her, making her filled with joy.

“Oh my, that was you, but he said she had long hair. Forget about being his girlfriend darling you are his wife to be.” Mrs. Knight got teary and said to Jhonia, then told she is Kyhe’s wife to be.

“I cut it after asking for the divorce with him.” Jhonia said to her, calling Nearce, him.

“Come, let’s go to the table. And who said you needed my blessing? Darling, you had my blessing the moment I laid eyes on you.” She called her to follow her to the dining room and asked her before saying that the first they met she (Jhonia) had her blessing.
