"What are you saying?" Xavier's voice came from behind them. "She got married to me so how is it that you are her only family?" he asked going to hold Jessica by the shoulders. "It's just that" Olivia started but trailed off when she could not defend herself. At that moment she felt like it was a wrong idea for her to have tried to extort them it seemed like they were not going to be moved by her ridiculous tactics. "Jessica can you take Papa upstairs I would like to have a conversation with your aunt here" "But..." "Oh don't worry and just take him upstairs. It is nothing serious and I can assure you that I will be up soon" he said cutting her off. Jessica nodded and went to stand behind Dawson's chair she turned in the direction. To be honest with herself she was greatly uninterested in being in her aunt's presence. She had had enough of her for a week and she had spent just a day. Jessica could not deny that Olivia was very exhausting to deal with. "I guess I better go to my
Jessica was pacing around the room wondering what it was Xavier was discussing with her aunt. The doorknob clicked and opened. He walks in and stands by the entrance. "What did you discuss?" she asked rushing to him. "We discussed why she should leave you alone" he lied. How could he tell her the situation when he had not gotten it under control? It would make him seem incompetent as he was not able to handle a common phone troll. "And?" "And what?" he asked pushing himself from the door and walking inside. "What did she say?" She was hoping that she would decide to go after being threatened by Xavier but she also had a soft spot for her aunt. After all, when her mom had her, she spent the early years of her life seeing her until she was sent to the orphanage home. "It doesn't seem like she is leaving," he said entering the closet. She followed him in and he stopped when she did. "I am going to change now. Are you going to watch?" he asked. "Oh, my goodness. What has come over
Jessica reluctantly got dressed. With everything that had happened today, she was not supposed to be doing this. It felt like a date. She went downstairs and met him ready to leave. He led the way and they took one of the cars with them. It was a convertible BMW. Jessica had thought Xavier too serious to be one who would take such a car out. She did not even know he owned one. "Nice car" she commented. "Are you just seeing it for the first time?" he asked shocked at her comment. "Yes," she said as she pulled her seat belt to fix it. "Here let me," he said as he went across her. Jessica froze in her seat as her hands were suspended in the air. 'What was he doing?' "There you go," he said sitting back in his seat and not acting like anything was wrong. 'Did he know how much he just made my heart beat? It was like my heart was ready to jump out of my chest just now. How would I be able to handle any situation like this again? It's like my defenses are getting weaker and weaker' Je
Xavier drove to the ice cream place. It seemed like a hot spot for dates in Chiachester City because the tables scanned both inside and outside the big ice cream parlor and almost all tables had people on them who looked lovey-dovey. Even friend groups found their way to the place. "Xavier this place is too popular. There are a lot of people here. Let's just have the department store-bought ice cream and go home" she said. Now that she knew that they were having ice cream she was very interested. It had been a while since she had ice cream and it was one of the things she loved the most. If she was going to have a chance to get ice cream then she would never pass it off. "Why would we do that? I brought us here because I know the owner and he makes really good ice cream" "Okay then let's have ours in a to-go cup" she suggested. "Why would we do that? We would have the ice cream here" he said turning off the ignition. The parking lot of the ice cream place was across the road and
"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
