Jessica had the food to her fill and then she left to the house. She entered the house and went straight upstairs since she already had a hearty dinner. As she pushed the door open she met Xavier sitting on the bed in casual wear. Her eyes went to the wristwatch on her wrist. It was barely past seven pm but Xavier was around. "You are home early?" she asked entering the room and closing the door behind her. She dropped her bag on the table and went over to the can't table removing her earrings and putting them into her jewelry box. "Yes, I thought we could have dinner together like you suggested," Xavier said looking everywhere in the room apart from her. Jessica stared at Xavier through the mirror in her front. She could sense his discomfort when he said that. He took all the courage to ask her to dinner. If she said no or turned him down he might take it the wrong way. She would just have to suck it up and have two dinners. She could not possibly die from overeating. Or could s
Jessica got cooking and cooked something minimal. Since she did not have the time and she was slightly exhausted she only cooked spicy pasta with cream sauce. When Xavier say down to eat at the table he was somewhat disappointed with the light spread as compared to the morning. He did not take it to heart since she had short notice and she was also exhausted from the day's activity. He thought it thoughtful of her to prepare a meal for him regardless. He had always had an extremely hard time eating meals. He skipped breakfast because it reminded him of his mom. His lunch time was usually occupied with lunch meetings which he would barely touch not to talk of eating. He usually had salad or any other light thing for dinner which was usually not enough. He was working so hard yet getting little meals. Something about Jessica's meals made him at peace when he ate them. He liked them but he was not going to admit it to her face. "Would I be seeing you for dinner tomorrow Mr. Delgado?"
"Stop what?" Jessica asked her eyebrow going up. He saw the expression on her face. As much as he wanted to be on a first name basis with her he was feeling kind of intimidated. It was a strange feeling for him and he did not know what to do with the feeling. "That thing you do," Xavier asked. Jessica was truly confused by his words. He had not made any sense. He told her to stop but omitted the important part of what she should stop doing. After she visited Dawson's hospital room today when concluded that if his grandfather was looking out for him so much there was no reason for her to frustrate him. She was not going to play the role of a dotting wife and neither was she going to throw herself at him hoping for a change in life. She was simply going to live in peace with him. What she truly understood by living in peace was being considerate of each other's emotions. She was not thinking about big emotions but just the tiny things like what exactly at this moment was making him
Before Jessica could fit herself properly into the rich cycle the first month was coming to an end. Eleven more months to go for her before she amicably divorces Xavier. The month had been uneventful. She visited Dawson at the hospital almost every day and he had asked her if she considered the honeymoon any time she brought up the matter of him coming home. Jessica has sometimes overheard Roselle pester Xavier into taking her on honeymoon. She assumed that both Roselle and Dawson were in on the plan. Xavier had evaded her successfully putting her off. When Jessica woke up that morning she felt a little funny. She knew what was coming up was her menstrual cycle. She has for a month forgotten how serious her cramps could get. She had landed in the hospital and even triggered a fever because of menstrual cramps before. Her eyes were open but she could not make it out of bed. She felt very weak as she felt her body losing blood. She forced herself up so she doesn't stain the bedspre
As Xavier let go of her hand for a moment she felt her leg give way as she felt weak and then fell to the ground with a long thud. Xavier who was worried looked at her on the floor not moving or saying anything. He put his finger next to her nose to feel if she was still breathing. Her breathing was slow but it was still there. She was still alive. Xavier helped her back up and did not let go of her hand until he was able to put her back on the bed. "Jessica what's wrong?" he asked worried. He had never had the chance to experience something as such. His hand grazes over her bare skin as he tried to drop her to the bed. He felt her fever coming up. She was burning hotter than freshly brewed coffee. Jessica mumbled incoherent words to him. She did not know how to explain to him that it was just her menstrual cycle that was acting up and causing her to hang to life by a thread. "Stay here, let me ask Roselle for help," Xavier said going out of the room. Jessica's eyes opened sligh
Xavier rushed back up and picked up Jessica in bridal style. He felt at that moment that she was light as a feather. He carried her and rushed down the stairs. "Angel, we would be back soon," Roselle told Angel who was coming out of the kitchen to see a rare sight of Xabier carrying a woman and Roselle rushing after him. It dawned on Angel that something could be wrong with the new young lady of the house. Before Angel could process to respond, both parties were out of the house and far from hearing what she had to say. She moved back to the kitchen to resume her duties. Xavier was getting worried. How did this woman sleep on the same bed and he did not notice that she was sick up to this extent? "Please drive faster," Xavier told the driver. He felt like the driver was taking his time and that Jessica was slowly slipping from in between his fingers. "He is well between the speed limits" Roselle answered from beside the driver. "Do not fear it would not be long before we get the
The doctor moved Jessica to a private VIP ward as directed by Xavier. She did not know how long she had been sleeping when she opened her eyes. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen as she looked around. She sat up gently and looked around she saw Xavier sitting on the sofa in the far corner of the room. "Stay down," he said walking up to her. "What of work?" she asked blinking multiple times like an innocent child. "I'm the next Chairman," Xavier said with so much pride dripping from each word. He already assumed the role of the chairman but since his grandfather was still alive everyone still address Dawson as the chairman. Jessica wondered bow she had already forgotten to who she got married. "I said lie down, the doctor said you needed all the rest you could get," Xavier said with the fear that was reflected in his eyes in the morning still lingering. "How long have I slept for?" Jessica asked ignoring his order to sleep. "It's past two pm so it's been about five hours
As the sun began to set Jessica looked out through the large glass window that made everything in her eye line beautiful. The sunset was beautiful to behold. Jessica has been praying that the sun should set quickly so that Xavier could finally go home. It was obvious that he was trying to be of help but Jessica was getting uncomfortable with him around. He did not allow her to move an inch from the bed and served her all afternoon. It was such a sight. If Dawson had seen these he would have added his private assets to Xavier's name and even die a content man. Xavier was being helpful intentionally and it was scaring Jessica. The end of the month signified that they were already a month wedded but she still did not feel comfortable around him. Jessica made both breakfast and dinner every day for him and not for once has he offered help. She did not even bother to ask for help because she could do it all herself and with the help of a little kitchen staff and she doubted he would com
