"You two took a long time to come down" Roselle Said as she watched Xavier and Jessica come down together. "Dinner is already getting so cold, everyone has eaten and gone in for the night" she added. "I will heat the food," Jessica said walking faster to the table so she could take it To the kitchen to heat it for eating. "Oh don't worry young lady, I can do that for you, just have a seat and wait for a few minutes," Roselle said collecting the dish from her hand and entering the kitchen. "I had to go grocery shopping" "Why?" Xavier asked taking a sip of the water in front of him. "I wanted to make a special meal," she said. Xavier enveloped her hands in his and smiled. "All the meals you make are special" She bent her head with a blush on her cheek. "Here you go," Roselle said dropping the dish to the table. "You love birds," she said in a cute voice. "Both of you look so good too when you are all lovey-dovey that I am beginning to wish that I had some romance too" "Stop teas
"You can pick the chefs you want then I will ask Brian to set up a meeting with them," Xavier said. "I am so excited," she said tapping her hands together. "I will get to visit all the cities they live in" she added. The excitement was pure in her face. "Visit their cities?" Xavier asked confusion evident on their faces. "Yeah since I would be learning from them I would be going to their restaurants to see how they usually prepare meals," she said not minding the expression across his face. "So are you planning to leave me all by myself here in Chiachester while you go around learning cooking that you are already so perfect at?" he asked and she blushed at the hidden compliment that he had given her. "It's going to be a few weeks, it will be better if I go over there to learn" "I can not let you out of my sight even if it is for a day, how will I survive if you go for more than a day?" he asked now caressing her hands. "Xavier, this is my career" "I know and I want you to do w
The next morning as Jessica and Xavier hurried out of the house Olivia devised a plan to ensure she kept Roselle busy so she could get the suits and flee from there. As She sat in the room trying her best to find the best way to go about her devious plan her phone vibrated. She opened it and it was an image of Jessica entering into her restaurant. Those bastards had found Jessica and she had to act quickly. They were ruthless and would always do what they wanted without caring about the consequences. Calling them and yelling would not solve the problem. All she needed to do was to find the money for them and they would leave her all. She checked the original market price of the suits in the room. Some of them cost up to five million. If she were able to grab at least six of the suits he would not notice and she would be out of their hair, free from debt, and even have enough money to spare to start life all over again. She came out of the room, she was not expecting those men to ca
For the next few days, Olivia felt like Roselle was watching her intensely. Today was the last day of the month and she had to disappear from their lives before the sunrise of the first day of the next month. She had packed the little bag she brought with her. Every other thing she had acquired while living there she arranged into the wardrobe. She refused dinner that night claiming she was starting a new dinner routine. Jessica knowing how frivolous her aunt was knew she might have been trying out a new meal plan or diet. She waited for the house to fall silent and for everyone to fall asleep. She was grateful her bag was not big enough to be mistaken as a travel bag. She could easily convince the security men that it was just a bag and she would be back after receiving fresh air from outside. She pushed herself out of the house and she was quick to make it to the estate gate without getting questioned. She knew her life of Jessica was in danger but if Jessica happened to get kidn
"She left?" Jessica asked facing Angel. "Yes, the room is spotless and clean, there is no sign of one sleeping there""That's strange," Jessica said as she walked to the room to check out what she was saying. Just right as she was exiting the dining room Xavier was coming down the stairs. He watched her go towards the room that Olivia had been and he followed her. She opened the door and entered. She walked to the bathroom and pushed open the door, the floor was dry. She closed the door and walked to the room. She opened the wardrobe to notice that the majority of the things there were gone. She turned back to see Xavier standing there. "She is gone," she tells him. "She is gone?" "Yeah and that is very strange she had never gone on her own this easily without collecting any money before," she said crossing her hand over her chest. "What could be going on?" Jessica added before walking toward him. "I am sure we can know where she is if we watch the security camera," Xavier said
Jessica wiggled as she felt her hands tied behind her. Her head was covered with a black cloth. It was translucent so she could not see what was going on in front of her. She rubbed her palms together in the hope the ropes on her hand would come undone. As she shifted her legs she felt a sharp pain in one of them. She took a deep breath and tried to wrap her mind around how she came here. She was trying to open up her restaurant when a strong hand engulfed her and placed something over her nose. Did she injure her legs while she was trying to struggle? That was all she could remember. She tried to stay calm and listen to the conversation between the men. She heard loud cackling. "That stupid bitch ran away?" one man spoke. "Did she think that I would let her go with my money?" he added. "Let us make sure to get double, her husband is loaded and he would give us" This time the voice of the speaker sounded like a young person. It was not gruff like the others. "Why are you doing t
"Yes that Bitch," the man said in laughter causing the men behind him to laugh too. "She took a loan from me to play a game and she lost it all, by the time it was time to pay back she fled saying she was going to pay me before the end of the month. Guess what?" he asked going to hold Jessica by the mouth. She started at him hoping he could not hear her heartbeat as she did. She gulped down and tried to keep a fierce expression on her face. "Today is a day past the deadline and she is nowhere to be found. Her phone lines are switched off and I can't find her. Seems he has disappeared" "So why did you take me? I did not borrow the money" Jessica spoke causing his hands to fall from the grip. "Well, you see once a person owes me the whole family owes me. I can only let you go until I get my money" "You know this is illegal? Kidnapping is illegal and I am sure you would rot in jail for this" she said in annoyance. One of the men rushes toward her with a knife pressed against her th
The phone line beeped quiet and Xavier could not hear Jessica's voice again. He clenched his fist in annoyance. He felt his blood boil. How dare those men lay a finger on his wife? He was going to make them pay with everything in him. For the first time in his life, Brian saw Xavier with such intense anger. His eyes blazed as he watched him pace around the room tapping away in his phone as his chest heaved in a long breath. Xavier had been influential for as long as Brian had known him and he had never seen him use the power for anything personal but it was obvious he would not stop until he found Jessica. "And I do not expect you to be sitting on your hands while my wife is in the hands of the kidnappers" he snapped into the phone before taking it off his ears. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, he needed to do all her had to do to ensure he did not lose control over himself and his emotions. He turned to Brian who was standing there. If he was not friends with Xa
