Finding The Way

Small Word

Jacob's Point of View

I was having a bad day at the office with shipments being lost and my wife messing up with Imperial Style. My father wanting to take down that company as his reason to move Jocelyn and put Elizabeth on. I decide to go to the park to think I always wanted children but Elizabeth can't have them due to medical reasons that prevents her from having children. I didn't plan on running into Ashtyn and spilling my food on her but I'm glad I did and the little girl Asia is adorable I just hate that she doesn't have a father figure. I wonder why her father was a sore subject for her mother. After they stupid me back off at the park I walked back to the office and finished up and got everything for the meeting I was finishing up when my father walked in.
"I hear you have a meet just my with the CEO of Imperial Style I hope you are going to completely dissolve our partnership."
"I am not and as CEO and now owner it it's my job to make the decisions."
With that I walked out and headed home.
My wife was waiting on the couch when I got there.
"Baby I'm sorry I was doing what I was told to do."
"You went against what I knew was right without children that company is my baby but you are trying to take it away from me. We really need to talk when I get back from this meeting."
"Who are you meeting with and please don't say Imperial Style because if you are I want to go with I don't trust her."
"I am and I am not taking you because you are the one who messed things up in the first place and right now you are the one I don't trust."
I headed to our room and changed also packed so changes of clothes as I wasn't sure that I was coming back home after dinner.

Elizabeth's point of view

I watched as my husband walked to our room and what he just said sunk in I was going to ruin both Imperial Style and Italian Fashion of it was the last thing I did I got my tubes cut tied and burned to prevent me from having kids when I was 21 Jacob just thinks it was to keep me alive when in reality I don't want kids just him and all his attention. When he came out I saw he had a over night bag I knew he was mad that I trashed the meeting this morning. He walked out without saying goodbye or even looking at me. I picked up the phone and called the guy that makes me feel good when my husband can't.
"He is so mad that he is not talking me or looking at me he even is staying in a hotel for the night and he made me feel unworthy can you come make me feel like a woman?"

Ashtyn point of view

As I pulled up into Kara's drive I notice Asia bouncing in her seat with excitement.
"Clam down princess you can go play when we get everything in the house."
"But mommy"
"Asia the more you help the faster you can go play."
I get out of the car and walk towards Asia's to get her out when Kara walks out with Nico in tow.
"Hey so are you picking her up after your meeting?"
"No they can play but it all depends on how my meeting hours if I come here or go home oh and she didn't have any school lessons today."
"Neither has Nico I'll give them one before dinner."
"Okay well I have to go. Asia come give mommy some love I have to go."
She came running from the play room and jumped my arms along with Nico following suit. After saying my goodbyes I took off to meet someone from Italian Fashion. I pulled up to valet and walked in.
"Hello do you have a reservation."
"Yes it should be under Imperial."
"Yes. Your guest has not arrived but we will send them over when they get here."
"Thank."
"It is out pleasure you're easier will be right with you."
Not long after she left the waiter can asking if I wanted anything to drink. I got a water and checked my phone for emails as I waited but not for long as the hostess started walk towards me with whom I presumed yo be my guest.
"Right here sir."
"Thank you."
As he sat down I saw who it was and it was Jacob from earlier wow it is a small world.
Jacob Ashtyn
I didn't expect to see you her nor be the person I am supposed to be meeting
I could say the same for you but I am the owner founder and CEO of Imperial Style and who are you at Italian Fashion?
I am the CEO and owner and let me guess you are also the designer
Why yes I am I started designing when I was about 13 but didn't put much thought in it untill I was 15 and full force when my sister got pregnant.
So you have siblings tells about your family
Shouldn't we talk about business as this is a business meeting
We should how about any meetings we have between our companies it will be the two of us or if we have to send our sisters
The only problem is that my sister is a doctor I have a person in to take care of things when I can't so I'm assuming that Elizabeth is not your sister
No she is my wife who is working against me as of tomorrow she will no longer be working with the company along with the process of separation and then into a divorce as this has been happening for a while plus I know she is cheating on me.
Wow tough life
Yeah I know so tell me about your sister
She is amazing person she one year older but we graduated at the same time as she took a year off to have Nico. We are just best friends that have been through the unthinkable together.
I would ask what but that is probably something that is best left unspoken about. What about your parents?
My birth parents were, are horrible human beings but the woman that was there for me Karen is what any child could ask for in a mom she will becoming in town from Ohio tomorrow.
So you're adopted
No she was just there and I called her mom what about your family
I have an older sister my father is an awful person who ran off my mother who suffered abuse from my father I feel in love with the wrong girl the only way to have children is through adoption because my wife's womb is to wreak oh speaking of wife she is cheating on me and working against me in my own company my mother is dying of cancer my best friend lives on an island off of Alaska who is trying to find his long lost sister
Wow that it's a lot so you want kids
Yes and being around Asia made me want that more
So is Jocelyn your sister
Yeah that is my sister
She said something at our last meeting that you were thinking about a crossover into an all men clothing company
Yeah right now it is just a dream plus I'm am getting ready to lose my designer so I have to find some one to replace him.

I didn't realize how long we were talking we had got our food and were finished plus it was getting dark outside

Do you think we should go
Yeah . So are you going to be like Asia and pout about not getting desert
No because we are going to get ice cream down the street

After getting ice cream we walked to a near by park and talked.

Do you mind me asking why Asia's father is a sore subject?
Let's just say if I ever met him I would thank him for giving me Asia bit knock him out for what he did to me.
Of you ever met him?
Yeah I thought you would have got it without me having say of flat out. I was raped when I was 17 on my way home from the gas station.
I'm so sorry I should have kept my mouth closed.
No it is okay. That is what Kara and I went through different times and different guys but we were at each other.
Wow so I should probably get you home.
I'm staying with my sister tonight.

We finished our conversation and we went our separate ways I went to my sisters and he went to God knows where.
