"What the hell" Emma screamed as she threw her phone at the wall. The entire internet was plastered with images of Xavier and Jessica having a good time. At first, it was of them in Aurora Haven and now they were back in Chiachester and it seemed like they were still on a date. Emma had always thought that their relationship could be a sort of contract because how was it that she went into a marriage without knowing him? She hated that it seemed like Jessica was higher than her now. She wanted so much to pull her down. She picked up her phone from the ground. Luckily for her, it was still usable after the fall. She dialed the number of her friend. She held her stomach in annoyance. The only reason she had settled for Burke was because Jessica so wanted him and now she wanted Xavier. She was going to do all she could to ensure that the marriage failed and that she became the lady of the Delgado family. It was obvious that Jessica was not fit for the task. "Hello, Emma to what do
Emma hoped that Steve had some resentment against Jessica and that he would agree to her offer. She began to plot in her mind and the first step would be to get closer to Xavier. She checked the messages she sent to him on a butter phone she got. It showed that he got the messages but he was not reacting to them. Instead, he was taking Jessica out on a date. She needed something more impactful that would strike a blow in the relationship. It was obvious that Jessica had a clean slate and past there was nothing she could say to bring her down. She decided then to use malicious content. How else could she do it? She had to tell lies or else she would not be able to bring her. She sent a message to Xavier again claiming to release the content of his wife's secret if he did not reach out to her. She went ahead to make fake social media pages and then paid for followers too. She began making malicious statements against Jessica. She claimed she was a club girl who had multiple children
"Can you calm down and tell me what is going on?" Jessica called after Xavier as he stormed into the house. "Tell me" Xavier shouted into the phone as he put it to his ears. Genevieve came out of the kitchen to stand beside Jessica. "What's wrong? Why does he look all worked up?" she asked in a whisper. He had left the house all happy so to her it did not make sense that they were back in less than an hour and now he was screaming at the top of his voice into the phone. "I don't know, he received a call while we were out and he hurried back. He had been on edge since he got off the call. Also, he drove too fast back" she explained. "Maybe something had gone wrong at the office that needs resolving?" she asked. "I guess," she said pulling Genevieve into the kitchen. To be honest Xavier's aura at the moment made her shiver. She has seen him mad a couple of times but this time it seemed like he was going to explode if it was not sorted out immediately. "I have been able to trace a
Jessica sits in the car and reads through the post made by a mysterious social media page. She also noticed that True News carried the news as well. She knew that Steve was the CEO at True News but what she did not understand was why he would authorize that she be attacked. She always thought they were friends. The reason for his sudden distance from them was unknown to her. When he confessed to her she was already in love with Xavier and had confessed to him. She turned him down and he took it in good faith telling her that they could remain friends. Maybe one of the page handlers saw the post and decided it was a good story to generate buzz. She felt naked all of a sudden. She hated that she was thrown into this life. What did she ever do to deserve the backlash from people? They did not even know her. She looked at the comments and it was obvious that people believed whoever it was that posted it. "Don't worry, they have caught the person who made the main post and the person
As soon as they entered the station and were led to the investigation room. Jessica saw Emma and Steve sitting there giving a testimony. As soon as her eyes landed on him he turned his head and they made eye contact. Jessica turned and bumped her head into Xavier's chest. "What's wrong?" he asked as she pushed herself away from this chest and rubbed her forehead. "I can't go in there" she whispered. "Why?" he asked. "He's the one," she said a tear drop falling from her eyes. She does not believe that he would do something like that. He knew her and he knew the kind of person she was. How would it be possible that she would have multiple children and work in a bar? Jessica knew that the rumor had begun from Emma. She was not shocked. She often wondered why she forced friendship with Emma when she did not think of her as a friend. She has often manipulated and lighted her when necessary. She once spread a rumor about her being pregnant for Burke. This was when Burke started dating
Xavier had made it clear that neither he nor Jessica wished to settle. He said that if he did not make Emma and her friend in crime examples to the city then others would go ahead to commit the same crime of slandering people without remorse. Emma who had been on a high horse suddenly felt her world crash before her. She was going to have a record left on her clean slate because she tried to get back at her. "See what you dragged me into," Steve said calmly that it was almost scary. "I dragged you into this" Emma laughed with a hinge of a howl. "You wanted to do it if you did not want to do it when I suggested it you should have backed out," she told him narrowing her eyes. She could not stand adding more blame to what she was already feeling. As it stands she was already so out of it that she did not need any extra drama. "If we have to pay the penalty money you would have to be the one to pay. You were the source of the information" Steve said again. He ran his hand through hi
The rest of the month was a blur as Jessica had to juggle actively preparing meals for everyone while trying to launch her restaurant. Olivia had stayed around like a thorn in the neck that just refused to go away. Everyone later got used to her nagging and continuous bid to stow away money. She did not change a bit. Genevieve on the other hand got started in treatment to slow down the rate of the sickness. The doctor had made it clear that the treatment was not to save her life but to extend it in the best possible way ever. Lily had finished the interior decor and Jessica had gone for a cool indoor kind of vibe with an outdoor porch, She chose the design with the help of Leslie and Alicia who had now become closer to her than before. The press had tagged them as the three powerful women of Chiachester City. "Dawson asked me to prepare for Xavier's birthday," Jessica told Alicia and Leslie. They usually met to have lunch occasionally. "Ohh so is Xavier celebrating this year?" A
Alicia recommended a party planner to Jessica. Jessica began to speak with the planner and then she noticed that she did not know a whole lot of things about Xavier. They were not close but they had decided to be friends and friends should know a little bit about each other such as their favorite color and things like that. Jessica was sitting on the bed while Xavier entered into the closet. "Xavier?" she called silently. She waited for a response but got none. She stood up and went to the door of the closet and knocked on it. "Speak Jessica," he said and she chuckled. "So I was thinking, we decided to be friends right? And it seems like I do not know anything about you" "So you want to know things about me?" he asked teasingly. She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. It was as if Xavier had suddenly grown some kind of confidence that made teasing easy. He did it at every given chance and she did not trust herself to fight back. "Yes," she replied. Xavier was thrown off
