Song "We Found Love" by Rihanna cover by Jessie J *Love this version!*
"Jonah what the hell are you thinking!" she screams at him as he opens the car door for her.
Like old times, she attempts to kick him right where the light doesn't shine but this time he was ready for her. His reflexes were quick so he was able to dodge it landing her still painful kick right on his thigh. She then took off running.
He quickly catches her scooping her over his shoulder. "Princess you know better than to run from me."
"Ugh! God I freaken hate you! Let me down!" she yells. Before he can reply she bites into his back erupting a groan from his lips and causing him to drop his car keys.
She wiggles herself out of his grasp and swipe the keys dashing to the car. He shakes his head looking at her with a little smile on his face before jogging over to her and snatching the keys out of her hand before she even got the door open.
"Give the keys back!" she whines reaching for his hand with the keys which he extended above his head out of her reach.
"Where do you think you're going?" he chuckles walking away from her towards the stream. "We're not going anywhere before we work this out." Before she even knew what he was doing, he tosses the set of keys into the stream, it disappearing before her very eyes.
"Jonah what the hell are you doing!" her mouth stays open in shock. He turns to her and just shrugs his shoulder. "Let's go in."
"NO!" she crosses her arms over her chest like a child.
"Fine." He said calmly. Walking to her he tosses her over his shoulder once more firmly holding her legs in place. Her struggling was pointless against his strength as he carries her inside the house.
He gently set her on the couch but she was quick to try and run again failing as he pushes her shoulders down.
She stops struggling and stares up at him. "I'm not going through this with you again Jonah." Her voice was weaker than she wanted it to sound.
He gets down to one knee on the floor so now he is staring up at her, wraps his arms around her waist and rest his head in her lap surprising her.
Closing his eyes and deeply inhaling her sent that he missed so much be breathes, "I miss you so much." He pulls her in tighter to him. "Please, forgive me. I was wrong, so wrong."
Mindy's heart pounding a thousand beats a minute. She hated that he can make her feel this way. She hated that everything about them just seem to fit so perfectly. And she hated herself for still loving him dearly after what he put her through. Staring at the vulnerable man resting in her lap, her façade almost crumbles.
She bites at her lips hard to remind her of what pain felt like. Then she remembers it was nothing compare to what he did. "No.." she barely whispers. "I hate you." Tears roll down her eyes as she turns her face away.
He looks up and instantly move to sit next to her pulling her into his arms. She tries to pull away from him but he wasn't having it.

Finally, she succumbs crying "I hate you, I hate you" over and over again pounding at his chest. And the only words coming out of his mouth was "I'm sorry." His heart broke to see the woman he love hurting and to no other reason but him. She didn't want to admit it, but being wrapped up in his arm felt amazing, and so safe.
Jonah held her close until her sobs died down to mere hiccups. Swallowing she spoke. "Cook for me. I'm starving."
"Yes ma'am," he replies chuckling.

Mindy sat silently staring at Jonah as he finishes plating the food onto the dinner table. She didn't know what to make of this. She wanted to run but knew that it was near impossible to get away from him especially when they were out in the middle of nowhere. She didn't want to make the same mistake again as last time and getting lost.
"Foods ready." He said breaking her out of her train of thoughts. Her stomach growl reminding her of how hungry she and their baby was.
"Eat a lot." He said as they sat down. "You need it."
"What do you mean?" she asked suspiciously.
"I mean I saw earlier today at the coffee shop, you didn't even touch your food." He replied but really what he meant was "eat enough for the baby too".
"You were stalking me? How long have you been stalking me?" she accused.
"Not long. I just found out today where you were. You used your card." He stuffs some pasta into his mouth. She curse at herself under her breath. She had no choice but to use her card since she ran out of cash.
The rest of their dinner was done in silent. Mindy didn't have anything to say to him. She was still angry at him for his lies and 'kidnapping' her once again although this time the feeling of being kidnap wasn't really there. Jonah on the other hand, had a whole bunch to explain to her but didn't want to risk her getting mad at the moment and not eating, so he decided to wait until after dinner.
When they were done, Mindy move to clear the table but Jonah insisted on doing it and told her to go rest. Sitting on the couch once again, she stares at his back while he does the dishes. She just didn't get this man or what it was that he wants from her. He had never told her he love her, so why is he trying so hard all of a sudden. She just couldn't understand.
When he was done, he settles down beside her on the couch. She scoots herself over to the far end, not trusting herself so close to him.
Sighing, he begins to explain to her everything. "Leroy Nettleton. That was the bastard that hurt my mother."
She listens not saying a word or looking at him. He took that as a cue to continue.
"After my father past, my mother was already really sad and depress. My sister and I was worried about her a lot but she insisted that she would be okay and that it was just a phase. Not long after, she did become happier. That's when we knew that she was seeing someone else. I never said anything to her about it because I knew when she was ready to tell us who he was, she will."
Mindy turns to face him and see Jonah's jaw tense before continuing.

"That happiness for short live though. Turns out he was a con man and only sought out my mother and only wanted money. He conned our family out of millions. She on the other hand fell heads over heel for him. When he called it quits, she started abusing herself and going crazy. So crazy she couldn't even tell me who the man was. Then I had someone started following her, that's when he saw her with your father embracing."
Chuckling he continues, "I was so stupid. Right away I thought he was the man. I started planning my revenge against Bruce. Found out about his company and bought it. Then I started digging into his family history and found out he had two daughters. I wanted him to feel the pain that my mother went through. I wanted him to see his daughter going crazy and see if he liked the feeling. Turns out I was so wrong. He was just there helping my mom every step of the way."
Jonah kept his eyes cast down to the floor. He didn't want Mindy to see the pain in his eyes as he was explaining. Mindy's heart hurt for him and his family but that still didn't excuse him for what he did.
"One day, while I was sitting at the beach waiting for the information on Bruce's daughters, I saw the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on." A small smile spread on his face. "I watched her help a young boy find his mother. I thought she wasn't only beautiful, but talented and kind hearted. I needed to get to know her. You. At first I thought you were spoken for when I saw you with Nate. That hit me hard and for some reason I was already jealous."
"After you left, that's when I looked at the information I had about his daughters, and saw your picture. I didn't know what to feel. I was angry, mad, jealous. I wanted you but you were the enemy. Or so I thought. I was angrier at myself for feeling that way towards you. But then and there, I knew I couldn't get away from you. That's when I kidnapped you. And you applying for my company just fell perfectly into place."
"I'm so sorry Mindy. I truly am. I promise you I didn't find out the truth right until I force you into marriage. The second time I left you here alone was when I found out."
"Then why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you just let me go?" her voice was bitter.
"I... I couldn't. I knew if I did you probably go to the police. But that wasn't even my biggest concern. I was afraid, if I told you, I'll lose you. You would have no reason to stay with me any longer that's why I came up with the dumb idea of having you marry me. That way we can stay together. I was afraid to lose you. Because I, because I already fell for you."
Mindy blinked a few times wondering if she heard him correctly. Her heart begins to race rapidly. He finally turns to look at her.
"I love you Mindy. For a long time now, I've been in love with you." He said sincerely never taking his eyes off of hers.
The tears that she was holding in finally releases from her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She didn't want to believe it. She was scare that he was lying again. And even if he wasn't, the scars had been made, it was too late for love now.
"I.. I.. I don't love you." She stuttered.
"Liar," he said scooting closer to her. "I've heard you on many occasion saying you love me."
She shakes her head holding in the sobs that wanted to escape.
"I love you Mindy, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. In fact, I love the both of you. You and our child." He softly say smiling. His eyes fell upon her stomach.
"How did you..."
"Jordan told me when you didn't show for your appointment and I told him you were missing." He answered her question before she finished.
"This is my baby." She said wrapping her arms around her stomach.
"Ours. I'm sorry for all the sins that I committed. I promise I will spend every moment of my days making it up to you. I'll do anything you want. Please Mindy, I love you." He begged.
"I want a divorce."
-
Mindy lies in bed contemplating everything that Jonah said from last night. After she asked for a divorce, she didn't even give him a chance to answer but stormed off into 'her bedroom' on the second floor. She toss and turned all night long and is doing the same thing this morning.
"He loves me..." she whispers to herself. "He loves us..." she rubs at her stomach. A smile found its way to her face. Although she wasn't ready to forgive him, her mind and heart felt at peace after such a long time.
There was a knock at her door and she quickly wipes the smile off her face. Jonah walks in through the door carrying her bag of few clothes and items she packed.
"I brought you your things," he said setting it down.
She didn't want to look at him, but her eyes had a mind of its own. She glanced up at him quickly and hid the shock from what she saw. His eyes were red and swollen. Puffy. Like he had been crying all night. He gently smiles at her.
"I'm going to cook breakfast. Come down when you are ready." He said before walking out of the room.
"Why is he doing this to me?" she talked to herself. "Noooooo. I have to be strong! But my heart pains seeing him so sad. Ahhhhh" she whines tossing in bed. "Baby, your father is sad and that makes mommy sad too. But your father is a bad man. What am I to do?"
-
An hour after, Mindy finally descend from the stairs. The familiar smell of breakfast and the beautiful scene out the window before her brought a smile to her face. It just feels amazing and like... home she thought.
She sat herself down at the table. He sat by her and they both silently ate. When they were done, before anyone can move to clear the table Mindy spoke.
"Clean this up and do the dishes." She ordered.
Jonah looked at her suspiciously but didn't say anything, he only nodded. She left down the hallway and only return when he was done. Drying his hand, he looks at her and his eyes brows scrunches.
She was carrying a bucket fill with various seeds and mini garden tools. An evil smirk on her face.
"C'mon now. The food isn't going to grow itself." She pushes the items at him. "Get out there and plant me a garden."
She moves to the cabinet under the sink and takes out the familiar chain.
Looking him dead in the eyes she said, "You didn't forget about the chain now, did you?" Her smirk turns into a full blown devil's smile.
