"Come on, Xavier I am fine, it was a one-time thing with my aunt and I am sure there would be no way she could do something like that again" "Jessica, can you just do this for me?" "For you?" "I was so worried today and I am sure with these men with you we can avoid any incident like this again" She looked up and tried to think it through. Won't others think she was stuck up and proud if she went around with a security detail? Chichester was a relatively peaceful place so people rarely had security details follow them around. "Just so I know you are safe at all times" he added when she was quiet for too long. "Are you going to have to?" she asked. Xavier opened his mouth to answer but stopped when he thought about it deeply once again. She was the one who was kidnapped but here she was still worried about his safety. "Why don't you worry about yourself first" he asked rubbing her knee with his hand. "Are you?" she asked tilting her head a little. "Yes, I will," he said takin
"Jessica was kidnapped today" "What?" Leslie said the spoon in her hand dropping to the plate. Her husband had come home and was so quiet. She just assumed he must have had a rough day at work. She prepared a light meal and the opening line for their dinner discussion was this? "What do you mean?" she pressed further when he said nothing to follow up the statement he had just dropped on her. He kept putting the food in his mouth and chewing ever so slowly. "Brian? What are you talking about?" she asked again when her husband was not seeming to tell her everything. "I just thought to let you know, I know you will get to hear from Jessica too" he answered before taking a sip of the water in the cup in front of him. "So has she been found?" she asked worried. She could feel the way her forehead creased as she spoke. "Yes, as when last I spoke with Brian he said that they were on their way to the house from the hospital" he explained. Leslie wondered how he was so calm while tellin
Xavier strictly forbade Jessica from entering the kitchen to prepare dinner. "I am fine, I am sure I can whip something up real quick" she protested when he tried to hold her in place to stop her from moving away. "I know you are fine but you can not be standing on that leg," he said pointing to her ankle. "I would stand only when necessary there are a lot of seats in the kitchen too" she continued. "If you do more trust any of the staff with your meal how about we order in then?" he said changing the course of the conversation. He could not believe how stubborn she was about cooking a meal. They had sat there in the living room chair going back and forth about the cooking situation. He had managed to convince her to accept the bodyguards but there was something else she was not comfortable with. She was a different brand entirely and he could not deny it. "It's not that I do not trust them" she started when her eyes caught the eyes of Abgel as she passed by the hallway. "See n
"No" "No?" she asked shocked "I just recently developed feelings for you" "Wait so why are you angry that a man was lusting after me? How did you even notice this?" "Jessica how would a man feel if another was going after his wife, definitely he would notice it," Xavier said defending himself. "I am so sure that like me you also already had feelings for me but you were hiding it," she said before resting deep into the sofa. "You also had feelings?" he asked enjoying the moment they were having now. "So did you" she retorted with a smirk. "Why don't we get dinner?" he asked. "Why are you changing the topic?" she asked as she tried to pry in his face. "Changing the topic?" he scoffed. "I am just bothered that it might be too late to have dinner, so I want to make sure that you have one so you can use the medicine you were given" "You are definitely changing the topic but I will let it slide because you seem embarrassed to admit that you already liked me then""Wait, embarrass
The next morning Jessica insisted on following Xavier to the police station. He wanted to refuse but he knew that she needed to give her testimony and she might want to see her aunt. Before he finally fell asleep the Inspector General of Police told him that they had found Olivia and she was currently in the police cell. "Just give your statement and I will take you back home," he told her and she nodded. They dove into the police station and were ushered to the inspector's office. A whole later they were taken to the interrogation room where the man who was the boss yesterday was being asked questions. The officer they saw there told them that he had confessed to everything. Jessica thought about how her life might have turned out if her aunt had done this to her when she had nobody like Xavier to help her out. She would have maybe been sold out by those men while her aunt might have lived a free life outside while she tried to continue gambling. Xavier asked for the maximum pun
Leslie and Alicia told Jessica to tell them everything that had happened and how it happened. She went ahead to explain how her aunt suddenly disappeared and how she was kidnapped out of the blues too. Alicia was so furious that she made Jessica swear to allow the woman to serve the maximum term. Both ladies were outraged by the situation. After a little comforting here and there they both left. Jessica wondered where Xavier was, they had come in together but he had left her to have a private time with the girls. She climbed up the stairs and entered the room. She saw Xavier sleeping on the bed peacefully, his chest rose and fell so rhythmically that she felt like lying on it. She walked to the bed sat on it and inched closer to him. She watched his features as they sat on his face. When he first met him she said to herself that he was not that fine but now she knows she was just deceiving herself. He was the most handsome man he had met and to crown it all he had a smoking hot bo
Jessica had insisted that they see Dawson before they go on the trip they had planned. They had planned a spontaneous trip and since Xavier was the originator of the trip she had no complaints about it. Her restaurant was still unopened but she just had a few things to put in place before the opening. She has even hired a few more staff. Dawson was elated when they said they were going on a trip. He had whispered subtly into the ears of Jessica to make sure that Xavier got her pregnant using the excuse of him being close to death's door and wanting to see his great-grandchild. Since it was at Aurora Haven that Xavier got to know that he liked her he decided to go back there. After all, it was a honeymoon destination for many people because of the lively cities and people in it. This time they used the private plane they had since Dawson was so happy about the trip he permitted them to use it for the trip. Brian had helped Xavier organize everything. He wanted the trip to be perfect
Xavier was amused that the same woman who said she was afraid was now sound asleep. He chuckled to himself and pulled out his laptop to catch up on work. He had enough people to help him out with the work and he was more afraid of leaving the company to them for a few days. He just needed to do his part of the work. He gently woke her up when he got there and she was amazed by the usual sight of Aurora Haven which was breathtaking. The car that Xavier and Brian had prepared was ready to pick them up at the hotel. "Xavier" Jessica began as they entered the room. "Thank you it's so beautiful" she completed turning back to face him. He stood with the door closed behind them and winked at her. "You love winking don't you?" she said with a smirk on her lips. "Are you going to continue calling me Xavier like my comrade in the army?" he asked and she was amused at what he was thinking by asking her that. "What do you mean? Xavier is your name is it not?" she asked him and he nodded. "I
