Startled by a strange voice Jessica turns around to find Xavier in a house coat, his hair all messy and him looking sexy. She decides that lying was a bad thing since her young days at the orphanage home. Her husband was looking breathtaking. "Good morning," he said looking at her. His voice was husky and a bit rough probably because he just woke up. "Good morning," she said pulling herself together. His voice was drawing her attention greatly. "Can we talk now?" he asked. Roselle bows and leaves them to be. Anyone could tell that the two of them were not together so they might have a lot to talk about. So Roselle left, she had a great urge to protect Xavier so she was wary of anyone who came close to him. She knew how his parents died and the public suspected that there was a killer but the police investigation ended as an accident. With the culprit caught everything was closed quietly but it put a big hole in the spirits of those left behind. "Yes sure" Jessica responded.She
"Would you like some breakfast?" Jessica asked now feeling good. It would be a bad thing if she was to be avoiding him. Their being friends could put her mind at ease. "I don't eat breakfast," Xavier said sharply. "Come on. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" Jessica said kind of playfully. She was carefree and even though her mind was not fully pulled off from Burke she was doing all sorts to distract herself from the fact that she was dumped and married within a day. "I don't have breakfast," Xavier said coldly and more sharply than before. "I'm a good book. Remember that I'm a chef" Jessica said convincingly. "Drop it," Xavier said and began to walk away. "Maybe he doesn't like breakfast" She murmured to herself and shrugged before leaving the room. She went back to her room and discovered that the clothes she put out had been taken away. She went back down and made a simple breakfast of oats for herself. She had it before going back up to freshen up for the da
Although they were yet to reach an agreement because Xavier had to leave for an early meeting they agreed to continue when they got back at night. Jessica ensures to get her number and that was when she finally got to see her phone. She had multiple calls and text messages and messages on her socials. She decided to take some time to look over the messages. Most of them were congratulating her on snagging the billionaire of Chiachester City. It was truly no easy task. Some media houses were even requesting an interview with her. She decided that she would speak with Xavier before turning them down. She would turn them down anyways. She even got messages from those who were jealous and decided to wish her ill luck. She decided to leave it be when a message from her aunt caught her eye. Jessica did not know her dad but she lived a little time with her mom before she died. Her aunt could only keep her for a year before sending her to the orphanage. Her aunt had resurfaced in her life
Jessica stepped out of the elevator on the hospital's private VIP floor and made her way to Dawson's room. She was healthy and never had the chance of going to hospitals talk less climbing up to the private floor. Marrying a billionaire overnight has its perks. She pushes open the door and sees Dawson eating cut-up apples while watching the television absentmindedly. "Hell sir," Jessica said trying to get his attention on her. "I've told you that you can call me Dawson," he said as his face lit up. Dawson was bored at the hospital. His grandson had to run things around since he had been hospitalized for almost six months. He had a caregiver but she was mostly rigid and afraid and refused to talk probably because it was not in her job contract. "How are feeling today?" Jessica asked ignoring his statement. She felt weird calling him by his name. He was old after all. "Waiting to die," Dawson said joking. Since the doctor had told him that he would definitely die he had been makin
"What are you doing?" Xavier asked entering inside. He had left the office on his lunch break and decided to come to see his grandfather only for him to realize that someone who happened to be his wife was giving his grandfather some oily treats. "Are you okay papa?" he added rushing over like his grandfather was involved in some accident that could claim his life. "How could you?" he said harshly to Jessica who seemed confused. She had only caved in because the old man had assured her that it was okay and also because he seemed to need something to take his mind off the depressing atmosphere of the hospital. "I asked her for it," Dawson said jumping to her rescue. He knew his grandson and he knew that he would be berating her for no big reason. "And you should have been wise enough to refuse him," Xavier said. Jessica didn't know what about the sentence pissed her off but she could feel her eyes becoming heavy from his words. It was like he washing her face in onion juice. "I'm
Xavier knew that his grandfather would badger him into saying sorry to Jessica. Although he saw nothing wrong in what he did, he decided to apologize to save himself the trouble. He stepped out of the room and met Jessica sitting on one of the waiting chairs munching on the burger while sipping the coke. Her eyes caught him as he took long strides toward her. She rolled her eyes at him hoping that he saw her and turned her face the other way. Xavier sat quietly beside her. He had grown up living a luxurious life. He had never needed to say sorry to anyone before because he was always right even when he was wrong. Learning at a young age that money fixes everything he decided to go with that approach to life. He cleared his throat multiple times. "Got something stuck in your throat?" Jessica asked ensuring that her annoyance is felt in her voice. He shook his head and cleared his throat again. Apologizing was harder than he thought. "If you have something to say, say it now," Jes
Xavier walked back into his office with a scowl on his face. He had gone to visit his grandfather but ended up getting scolded. "What's the big frown all about?" Brian asked following his boss into the office. "What frown?" Xavier asked back. Brian and Xavier had a complicated relationship. They both went to the same school under the scholarship fund provided by the Delgado family. Brian was also bullied and the stone-cold and quiet Xavier came to his rescue and since then they had been close.When Brian left school and got a job at the company he began to work for Xavier hence their close relationship. Although, Xavier was cold as usual. Only Brian could talk to him like that and get away with it. They had a complicated and strange relationship. Rumors spread around the company that they were in a relationship which came to an end when Brian got hitched to his crush. She was one of the girls bold enough to go after Xavier but then she fell in love with Brian. Everyone thought i
Jessica had made herself a full lunch. The house helps saw her cooking, she even offered to make something for them to which Roselle declined. After her filling lunch, she went ahead to fill up the things she bought into the side of the closet that Xavier had cleared out for her. She had gone to a thrift store and gotten the clothes she needed. She wished she had a little extra money with her so she didn't have to spend from her husband's limitless card. Although what she spent was not so much she still felt bad and decided to wire him back the money as soon as she started working again. She had pulled up her savings and used them to furnish Burke's house because she thought she would be living there after the wedding. She wanted to get her money back from him since he cheated on her but she was afraid she would embarrass herself in his presence when she gets there. She knew her heart was still too fragile to handle seeing him with another woman and her best friend at that. She
