2: Avoiding Jessica

Jessica entered their bedroom, still holding the divorce papers in her hands. She saw Dylan stripping off his suit as he stood naked in their bedroom, wanting to take his bath.

Jessica gulped hard as her blue eyes came into contact with her husband's hard body. He looked as though he wasn't aging at all, but he had matured and was not the same man she had married five years ago.

She remembered how her father had rejected Dylan, as her family had a personal hatred for poor people. Jessica had to beg her family on his behalf and acted mad with her own parents so they could approve of Dylan and accept him as her husband.

She supported his business to grow, and now that he was already made—and a billionaire too—they were blessed with two beautiful kids. Dylan was now speaking to her about divorce and beginning to have a double mindset about their five years of marriage.

Jessica knew that marriage wasn't "a do or die affair." But she had tried to be the good wife she could be to Dylan by waking up very early in the morning, preparing his breakfast by herself, and also caring for their kids. She had to prepare them very early in the morning to take them to school everyday and still go back to their school after closing hours to bring them home.

Jessica knew that she had paused her own life to help Dylan build his own life and their family too, by training their two kids at home and becoming a full-time housewife. Now Dylan was telling her about a divorce, and that their five years of marriage were over.

“Dylan,” Jessica called her husband to gain his attention, and he turned around to face her as he had taken off all his clothes.

“What is it? Have you signed the divorce papers now?” Dylan asked as he stared at Jessica's face coldly.

“No, Dylan. We cannot divorce. I cannot agree to divorce you, and you know that I love you very much,” Jessica replied, wanting to believe that her husband had previously spoken to her about divorce out of his drunken state.

She walked up to meet her husband to embrace him where he stood in the middle of their bedroom naked. She tried to touch his hard, bronze-chiseled chest. But Dylan quickly caught her hand before she could feel his hardness.

He shoved her hand down beside herself and told her, “You have no right to my body again, Jessica! The sooner you sign those divorce papers and leave, the better for you. Go back home to your father's house and find another man to marry you.”

“Dylan!” Jessica looked puzzled and heartbroken by her husband's statement as her blue eyes immediately turned red and welled up with hot tears.

She questioned him, “So you're cheating on me now, Dylan, that you can confidently tell me to leave and go back home to my parents house and find another man to marry me? Is that how much hatred you have for me now?”

Dylan ignored his wife's questions, feeling vulnerable and exposed as he could sense her eyes on his bare body.

Dylan immediately walked through the bathroom door to bathe while Jessica stood speechless in their bedroom, still holding the divorce papers in her hands.

She missed her husband and really wanted him to make love to her. She hoped that when Dylan returned home, he would apologize to her for where he had been for the past two days, but instead, he was speaking to her about a divorce and telling her that she had no access to his body again, thereby depriving her of her conjugal rights.

Jessica looked at the divorce papers in her hands again as the white bulb in their bedroom was still on, and the bedroom was painted white.

She walked up to the white headboard of their magnificent bed and placed the divorce papers there, safely.

She stripped off her clothes and decided to join Dylan in bathing, believing that he was still joking and acting that way due to alcohol intake.

Jessica stripped herself naked and finally walked into the bathroom to join her husband in bathing, intending to give him the same level of hurt that he had just inflicted on her.

She was a thick fair-skinned woman with a sharp pointed nose, blue sparkling eyes, and long golden hair.

Jessica knew that she had a very nice curvy shape, even after giving birth to two beautiful children. She still looked cute and sexy, as a lot of mature men still wooed her and asked her out on dates, but she was a faithful woman who loved Dylan very much and couldn't cheat on him.

She had never looked down on Dylan before, not even when he was poor and managing himself.

She loved Dylan very much, supported him, and made love to him in the way he wanted, as Dylan loves sex, and they were already blessed with two beautiful children.

Jessica remembered that she had met Dylan at a fuel station where he worked as a fuel attendant. He had sold fuel into her car on the first day they met. She quickly walked into the bathroom to join him before he finished his bath or stepped out of the bathroom.

Dylan was standing under the shower, as he didn’t usually use the white bathtub to bathe He saw Jessica walk into the bathroom to join him, and her sexy body made him hard immediately.

Dylan quickly turned away from Jessica, hastening his bath and switching on the shower to rinse off his soapy body, even though he wasn’t done bathing.

Dylan rushed out of the bathroom because he didn’t want to spend any more time there with Jessica, knowing that he would end up having sex with her and wouldn’t be able to resist her either.

Jessica stood speechless in the bathroom, shaking her head in sadness as she saw Dylan run out.

She murmured, "What's wrong with him? Why is he behaving like that?"

Jessica watched as Dylan rushed out of the bathroom, and then she walked up to the white bathtub to bathe, as she usually preferred the bathtub for her baths.

She stepped into the bathtub and began scrubbing her body.

Dylan walked out to the master bedroom and knew that he wanted to divorce Jessica simply because his first love, Rosie Andrew, was back in the country.

Rosie had visited him at his company and inside his office too, where she cried to him and said, "Why Dylan? Why didn't you wait for me to return home first before you went ahead and married another woman after ten years of knowing me and proposing to marry me first?"

Dylan knew that he had made a promise to Rosie in the past that he would marry her when he initially deflowered her. He was the first man to deflower Rosie, but he wasn't the first man to deflower Jessica either. However, Jessica was still a kind-hearted woman to him and the most genuine lady he had ever met.

No matter what he had done to annoy Jessica or to break up with him, Jessica never got angry as she mostly overlooked everything.

He had told Jessica before that she couldn't go to work again while ignoring her care of him and their two children at home, leaving all the work to their maid, who cooked his food and fed him too. Did she also want the maid to warm his bed?

Jessica happily quit her job as a banker at a big bank where she previously worked, becoming a full-time housewife just to please him.

Jessica's car also broke down in the third year of their marriage, after Nina's birth. The car couldn't work properly without a proper mechanical engineer to repair it. But Dylan refused to fix her car or replace it with a new one, even though he was a billionaire.

Instead he bought a new car for himself to irritate Jessica and see if she would get annoyed and leave his house by divorcing him. But Jessica ignored him and managed her old car, or used public transportation instead, since he refused to buy a new car for her.

Jessica refused to leave their home and took her car for repairs. He reduced the amount of money he usually gave her weekly to take care of their home and their two kids. He remembered telling Jessica, "You are too fat now, Jessica, and you should be eating only once a day so that you can lose weight. This money will be enough for you and our two kids if you manage it. Don't you watch your weight at all? Just two kids, and you're already looking like my mother's age-mate."

Jessica smiled at him and replied, "But I'm still beautiful, Dylan, and you don't expect me to remain the same 22-year-old Jessica Albert that you met before and married. I am 27 years old now, and it is expected for me to have changed, as change is always constant. Even you too, my love, have changed; you look more mature and handsome now than when we initially got married. So you're also changing too, my love."

Dylan frowned as he knew that Jessica knew how to smile through every difficult situation with him. She never got annoyed with him, nagged at him, or looked down on him, nor did she him with other top billionaires in their state. She mostly encouraged him to never give up in life, and he became frustrated with how to divorce the kind-hearted woman he had married.
