After One Night Chapter 106
Jess’s POVOnly the unlucky get attacked on the night of their honeymoon, and it turned out I was one of those unlucky ones.I struggled to pry my eyes open, and it felt like they’d been closed for eternity. My body felt paralyzed, and my head throbbed a lot. Once I finally got my eyes to open, I turned my neck slowly to look around me, but there was no one.This place sure wasn’t my home. The house looked like it had been made strictly out of bamboo. “Where am I?” I murmured, trying to wake up from the painful bed I had been laying on, but I noticed footsteps approaching, and I pretended to be asleep. What if they were bad people and wanted to hurt me? I had to be careful. “Maria!” I heard a female voice yell, and some more footsteps approached.“Yes, Mum?”I struggled to peep and found a younger lady; she looked about 18 years old.“I was finally able to get us some newspapers. Now look at this woman in the picture; doesn’t she look like this lady we saved?” The woman asked, and th

Ella’s Pov The music was so loud it was almost deafening. The club filled with people we had never seen in our lives, yet everyone danced like they had known each other for the longest time. I swayed my hips all over the place as we danced, laughed and enjoyed ourselves, besides we owed this enjoyment to our bodies for working so hard in order to get here. “Ella, did you notice the guy in a black suit staring at you? He’s been looking at you ever since we got here,” I listened to Maya scream over the loud music as we danced. “It’s one of the many guys who couldn’t keep their eyes off from us since we got here,” I replied and we burst out into laughter. It was true. We looked so sexy tonight. Our effort tonight made the fun even better. “Mind joining me for a drink?” I discerned a deep baritone voice turning around to see the most beautiful creature I had seen. He looked like a model straight from a magazine cover. OMG!!! I couldn’t help but scream in my head. I can’t jus

Ella’s POV “Do your jobs properly or you’ll return to where you all came from. Is that understood?” Mrs Denver continued speaking and I could see the fear in the eyes of my colleagues. We are all maids here and we have jobs to do that we can’t afford to lose. Our agency had prepared us to work for Mrs Denver; we scrambled for the job because back in Hong Kong, our living condition wasn’t the best. So I and Maya were extremely happy when we knew we’d be coming to America to work for an influential family. At least we’ll be living our unfortunate lives back in Hong Kong. “Start preparing for my son’s visit; you’re dismissed,” she said as we left her presence back to the various activities we had to carry out. I and Maya were on kitchen duty preparing the food for the afternoon. “I can’t believe you f****d that guy Isabella Ross, you’re such a bad girl” Maya said teasing me and I couldn’t help it but feel shy. Did I really do that? How could I have lost my virginity to a guy

Ella’s POV “Stay right there Fiona, don’t come any closer.” I heard Jordan say in an angry tone. Is this man even serious? So he had a girlfriend and he behaved that way with me yesterday. Not like I cared about this brat making all this noise at the moment, but I just felt sorry for her that her loving Jordan was a cheat. Suddenly, the attraction I felt towards this man, who was now walking to the door, turned to disgust. “What are you doing here, Fiona? And why are you creating a scene in my home causing trouble?” Jordan said, now standing in front of her and I stood here wanting to disappear in any way that I can. I didn’t want to be part of this drama. “Your girlfriend comes to see you and this is what you have to say to me, Jordan? You have never acted this way toward me, is it because of this lowlife maid?” Fiona asked now looking at me like I was mud under her feet. Maybe I was because I had nothing compared to her. “You don’t get to insult her and I’m going to ask for t

Ella’s POV Beep beep……. I could get the sound of machines but couldn’t open my eyes. It felt like I was dying, but I could listen to voices speak as they came in and out of the room where I was in. I was in the hospital. Last thing I remember I was laying down and people hovered around me now I’m here. I struggled to open my eyes and searched around the room. I found Maya laying on the couch looking like she hadn’t had some rest in years. She noticed I was awake and bolted towards me. “Hey girl, how’re you feeling now? Let me get the doctor.” She said in a soothing voice and rushed towards the door. In less than a minute, she returned with a medical team who were now checking my vitals and making sure I was doing well. “It’s a good thing you’re finally awake. Miss Isabella. We are happy you fought hard,” the doctor said, and I could barely comprehend what he was saying. After a while they left the room, leaving I and Maya alone. I took a glance at the hospital room where I wa

Ella’s POV “Master, we’ve found who tried to kill Miss Ella,” John announced, and I saw Jordan’s face fuel with anger. I had never seen this look on him. He looked like he could kill anyone right now. “Ok, give me a minute, I’ll be with you.” Jordan replied and with that, John left the room. I had to at least know who wanted me dead. Although I had an idea but I hope it wasn’t the Baxter family. I know they wanted me dead for the trouble I caused them. I really hope it wasn’t them. “Ella, I know you have all rights to know, but please, can you let me handle this for now? Immediately, I’m sure of the suspect. I’ll inform you right away and you can decide what ever you want me to do with the person and it’ll be done in an instant. I promise you.” Jordan said to me in a very soft tone. He was a gentle guy and a rough one as well when need be. But right now, he was the sweetest person ever. I nodded my head, giving permission to go ahead and with that he left the room instructing t

Ella’s POV It’s been a week since we discovered Fiona tried to kill me. She had hired men to run me down and Jordan’s men found the car they used disposed in a dump and traced it back to her. Although she denied everything, I couldn’t care less. I was alive, and that’s what mattered to me. Jordan had listened to me and he let her off with a warning. She tried to kill me, but I pitied her. I sat in the garden like I did every day. With nothing to do, I took comfort in planting more flowers. Jordan had sent all the other maids, including Maya, back to his mother’s house. He said he didn’t really like many people around him. Maya understood and promised to give me a call every day. It no longer felt like I was a servant. Jordan insisted he’ll take care of me for one month before I could return to my job as I wanted. My phone buzzed, “You have three days to provide the money or you go to jail and we take care of your boyfriend” The Baxter brothers Jake and Jim had been sending me

Chapter 7 Ella’s POV “Don’t stand there staring at me, answer the damn question Ella! Talk fast.” Jordan yelled at me. This is the first time since we met. I didn’t know how to start explaining everything to him but I had to. “Jordan I promise you, it’s not what you think,” I tried explaining. But how did he know about Jake? “Ok since you want to know, I’m a criminal. Jake, is the brother of the person I murdered.” I said and I could see his body stiffen. “Ella don’t play around with me. What do you mean you’re a murderer? I held your phone, and a message came in from him saying you guys need to meet up, and you shouldn’t ignore him any further. Isn’t this the tone of an ex? Or maybe a present lover?” Jordan stated. Is that what he really thinks, that Jake is my lover or something? He’s absolutely wrong. “I know we’re not in a relationship yet, and I have no right to act the way I’m doing now, but you’re under my roof and I need to know. So tell me the truth Ella.” Jordan de

Jordan’s POVThe drive back home was long and silent. I had shut my mind away from any sound and let my thoughts swirl around. It was pretty late, and I was certain Andrea should have been sleeping, so I didn’t bother to check. I went straight ahead to find John. I made it inside, and Miss Anna was in the kitchen as usual. I wondered if this woman ever got to take time off for herself and just stop standing there always. She noticed my presence and turned to me immediately with a smile. “Good evening, Mr. Denver,” she bowed and greeted, but I shrugged, and her smile faded fast. “Where are Jerome and John?” I asked in a calm but stern tone. “They’re by the pool, sir, having a drink,” she replied, her voice shaky. I turned on my heel without so much as a thank you and made my way to the pool area. John and Jerome seemed to be having a great discussion. I could tell from how loud their laughter was as I approached them. Why does everyone find it so fucking easy to move on from the d

Jordan’s POV“Jess!”“Jess!”“Bye, Jordan, please take care of yourself and Andrea, that’s my only wish,” Jess sobbed, standing before me in the white, silky nightgown she wore on the night of the explosion, but it was messed up with blood stains.“Don’t tell me goodbye, Jess. Andrea’s waiting for you, and I am too. Please stay, my love,” I wailed, but she began to disappear into the darkness.“I love you, Jordan. I’ll always love you,” she yelled and disappeared completely. I had tried to grab her hand, but she was gone. The woman I loved so much was gone.“No, Jess, I love you. Please don’t leave me,” I cried, tossing and turning, sweat dripping down my face faster than a water slide. I dug my fingers into the sheets and held on tight, as if doing that would make her appear again.I felt a hand on my shoulder. “Boss…” the voice came, but my eyes refused to cooperate. “Boss, it’s me, John,” the voice came again, this time shaking me with more force.“Jess!” I kept yelling as the tear

Jess’s POVThe night breeze blew Jess’s hair in the right direction as I wrapped my hands around her waist from behind, my head buried in her neck. We had chosen to spend our honeymoon enjoying the sweetness of nature, and I must say it was the best decision.“This is incredible,” she whispered, turning her face slightly behind to meet mine.I grinned, pulling her tighter. “Only the best for my wife,” I said, my voice laced with affection. I kissed her cheeks softly. “It’s only the beginning of a good life, Mrs. Denver.”The evening went on smoothly as we dined under the stars on the upper deck. The candlelights flickered between us, and the sound of the stream brought out sweet melodies.After dinner, we had an intense lovemaking session until Jess could no longer feel her body move. Her tiredness made me chuckle as I covered her up in some sheets and made my way outside to enjoy the rest of the night. But as I stepped out of the door leading to the upper deck, I felt a cold metal po

Third Person’s POVJordan’s fear about the message he received in Vegas lingered. Even as they returned to Evergreen, and right up till today, their wedding day, it haunted him. As he dressed up in his impeccable suit, Jordan and Jerome stood behind him with grins on their faces. Jordan turned around to face them as Jerome pretended to make crying noises. “I can’t believe he’s all grown up,” he teased, and they burst into laughter.Jordan stretched out his hands as they helped him with his cufflinks. “John, what did Officer Benette say about the messages I’ve been receiving?” he asked as a frown settled on his face.“He’s suspecting it to be from Jake and his twin. He said it could be they’re trying to scare you, but they have everything under control,” Jerome assured him, but it didn’t ease Jordan’s mind.Since their trip to Vegas a month ago, he had received five unsettling text messages from the same number—both freaky messages and death threats—and he had successfully hidden all

Chapter 101Jordan’s POVEver looked at one woman and imagined spending your forever with her? That’s exactly how I looked at Jess as I slipped the ring onto her finger. When she said yes—which I already knew she would—it made me the happiest man, both alive and dead.“I love you, Jordan Denver,” she whispered as we graced the dance floor with our skills. The Vegas moonlight shone brightly on us as she held on to me tightly.Her dad, John, Linda, Jerome, and Andrea all had their eyes glued to us with wide grins on their faces as we slowly danced on the terrace. Jess had cried over a million times, and it almost felt like she was in pain, but it was all tears of joy.We had been through so much already, but fate made a way for us to fall back into each other’s arms. Despite Fiona’s attempts and many more, we surpassed everything. Staring right now at the family I have—which I never did before—I’m grateful. This was my best birthday gift ever.The night went on as we all made it to our

Jess’s POVIt had been 1 year since the announcement of Fiona’s death. The day Jordan had broken the news, I felt a mixture of anger, sadness, and satisfaction all at once.Angry because she didn’t suffer for all her crimes, sad because I had just found out she was my sister, and satisfaction because I could finally live peacefully without having to look over my shoulders.“Fiona’s dead,” Jordan had said, and everywhere went dead silent as I almost choked on the glass of water given to me by Chu.“How’s that possible?” Dad asked as Jordan’s hold on his cellphone tightened.“She tried to escape. Her brothers managed to bust her out from jail, but during a police chase, the car she had been riding in exploded while her brothers sped off in their own car, leaving her behind. The body was badly burnt up, and the clothes she had been wearing turned to ash,” Jordan explained as he turned his gaze away from me.It was understandable he had to feel a bit hurt because Fiona was the only thing

Jess’s POVMy breath hitched uncontrollably as Mrs. Mei kept talking. I could never have imagined the trauma and pain my mother went through. Yet, all I could think of is how she left me one day, saying she was going to get food, and she never returned.Dad finally came back inside, with Will following behind him as we braced ourselves for the confession of Mrs. Mei. I had tried so hard not to cry, but hearing your mother being locked up for years until her last breath is the hardest thing to deal with, especially after losing your best friend not so long ago to monsters like Fiona.“I’m sorry, Isabella, please forgive me. The first day I discovered what my job would be, I tried going to the police twice, but each time I stepped foot inside that cell, something bad happened. They were always watching me. They even killed Chu’s mum because I had tried to escape. I lost all hope and did what they asked me to.” Mrs. Mei kept explaining, and I could see the hurt the Baxters must have caus

Third Person’s POVJordan, Jess, and Dominic all traveled together to Hong Kong with Will and Ken. They had traveled in Dominic’s private jet earlier that morning, leaving behind Andrea with Miss Anna and a ton of guards to watch over the house at all times.Jess had insisted they carry her along, but it was too dangerous even for her, and even more dangerous for Andrea, so she let it go and they tripled security back at her penthouse.They had been in the air for some hours now as she slept peacefully on Jordan’s shoulder, but he stayed awake, thinking if he blinked even for a second something might take Jess away. All he had been doing was watching her sleep.Dominic, on the other hand, watched the both of them, and it reminded him of his Bella. Yesterday, when the news had been broken to him, he had held it in so much, trying not to break down in front of his daughter, but when he got back into his room, he let the tears flow. He mourned his one true love, the woman who made him st
