Jordan’s POV

“Jordan, if you don’t want to tell me what’s going on, then you might as well let me go right now,” Ella said. I couldn’t help but watch her angry face and smile. Who knew she could get this feisty? What did she think? That I’m back together with that woman? That was impossible, considering how I feel about her.

“Ella, sit down on the bed and I’ll explain,” I said, and she sat, reluctantly. She faced me now with her beautiful brown eyes, lips so plump, ready to be sucked. Damn, this girl turned me on so much. How was I going to live if she leaves me?

“Fiona had come to Vegas to piss me off. I didn’t want you to see the way I spoke to her, baby girl. It'll make you think less of me. She didn’t actually want to buy that necklace and I just warned her to stay away from both you and me.” I explained, but what I said was a lie. I just needed Ella to calm down.

“I’m so sorry for speaking to you that way Ella, it’ll never happen again. Forgive me?” I asked. I just need

    Ella’s POV Jordan had told me he loved me after our intense love making session. He made sex feel like everything I thought it wasn’t. I watched him sleep throughout the night, so peacefully. I’m happy I give him peace. Honestly, I didn’t care about Fiona or anyone at this point. I just had to care for this man the way he did me. I woke up and decided to go make some breakfast before he gets up. I planned on making our stay here unforgettable. He loved me and I loved him. Nothing else mattered. I threw on a big T-shirt, planted a kiss on his sleepy face and headed to the kitchen. This morning felt different. It was extra special, and I was happy. Everything is so perfect. I started off with making some scrambled eggs with avocado toast. We could just order, but I wanted to do it. I began setting up the table when someone hugged me from behind. It was Jordan. “Hey baby girl, good morning.” Jordan said, planting kisses on my neck and shoulders. I turned to face him. Gosh, this

    Ella’s POV It had been one week since I accepted to marry Jordan. He was extremely happy, and we spent the each day and night talking about our dreams together. We had to leave today for Grey hill. He had signed the deal with Mr Von and that meant more money for him, or as he says more money for us. His sweetness made me giddy. “Ella baby, are you all done? We have to be there in time before my mum loses her mind.” Jordan said. Today is his Mother’s birthday and there was a dinner later on. Was I ready to meet his mum this way? Of course not, but will I meet her? Yes, I will because I love Jordan. I didn’t know what to expect when going back to the mansion after months of being away. I’m just glad I’ll get to see Maya again. It’s been a while since I heard from the Baxter family. Did they finally give up? Or had Jordan done something to them? I thought to myself, I’ll just ask Jordan after the dinner. That’ll be a perfect time. We left the hotel, got into Jordan’s private jet

    Ella’s POV Fiona’s words hit me like a rock. For once I thought I actually mattered to someone, but turns out he played me. I’m such a fool. I stood in the Denver mansion, unsure of what to do or how to even react. Jordan had been talking for sometime now. I could see his mouth moving but not hear the words. I tried to fight back the tears, but it was too late. “Can I go ahead with John first?” I asked, not caring what he said anymore. He nodded and instructed John to do as I wished. We drove in silence for a while, before John studied me from the driver’s mirror and asked, “Ma’am, is everything ok?” I wanted to scream and say nothing is ok, your boss is a cheat and a liar but I couldn’t find the voice to do that. I nodded, reassuring him I was fine. We arrived at Jordan's house, and I ran in as fast as my legs could take me. I threw myself on the bed and wished I could just sink in it forever. Fiona may be a bitch and a witch, but I’m the fool here. In minutes, I fell into a

    Jordan’s POV Fiona is a bitch, and I was going to make her pay. She had put me in a tight spot, having to explain to Ella what I didn’t want her to know just yet. She had told Ella I slept with her, which was totally not true. Ella had gotten mad at me and left without so much as a word. I had to let her go home so I could explain later. “Why don’t you just tell her the truth, baby? You know I do it better and you’ll always come back to me,” Fiona had said with a smirk when Ella left. I pulled her by her hair, inflicting pain on her forehead. “Bitch, are you insane? We had one drink and you think we had sex?” I yelled. She winced in pain. “Jordan let go. You’re hurting me,” Fiona cried out. Did she really think I’ll ever love her after all she’s been doing? “This is the last time I’ll warn you to stay the fuck away from my fiancé. The only reason I haven’t crushed you already is the respect I have for both your mum and my mum. But there are limits to my respect don’t make me

    Ella’s POV I sat in a place where, some people come and never make it out alive, praying for the man I love to get out of this coma, and love me again. The place rigged of antiseptics, sterile chemicals and the faint scent of medicine. It’s been 4 long months since Jordan was shot, and it has been the worst time of my life yet. Coming to the hospital everyday, having to see him in that position made me sick. The day Doctor Liam had called me, my heart sank. How does something like that happen just when we’re about to start our lives together? Maya and I rushed to the hospital, but his family had been there way before us. His mum had driven me away asking me to stay away from her son and that I was the reason why he laid there, almost a corpse. Everything changed for me in one day. I received news John had died in the shootout. This broke me down into pieces. John had been the only person close to Jordan, who actually liked me. Why did something so cruel have to happen to him?

    Ella’s POV Jerome’s news, fueled me with hope. Hope I had almost lost. Now, how was I going to get to him so I could kiss him once more. To tell him, how much I missed him. “Don’t tell me, you’re thinking of going there.” Maya’s voice came at me. She knew me too damn well. “Stop being a nagging mother Maya, relax. I won’t go there, not yet. I’d wait for more information from Jerome, first.” I teased. My sense of humor, was beginning to find its way back to me. Besides, Jordan, is finally awake. He’ll save me from those witches. I hoped. Maya, stared at me for a while, and raised her hands in defeat. She finally let go of pestering me about going back there. “What’s that on your face? Like a finger mark? Girl, don’t lie to me.” Maya asked. Just then, I felt a sharp pain inside. The baby kicked. I held my belly in attempt to ease the pain. “You know, that little angel in you will bring us tons of luck. I can feel it.” Maya said patting me on the shoulder. I smiled.

    Ella’s POV Jordan’s question felt like a slap to the face. Was he trying to crack a joke at this time? Because if that was the case, then it wasn’t funny. “Who are you? Where am I?” Jordan asked again. He looked at me like he had never seen me in his entire life. Just then, a medical team came rushing in, checking his vitals and making sure he was ok. “Ma’am, Miss Fiona and Mrs Diane will be here any second. I suggest you leave, to avoid a scandal.” Dr Liam pleaded. I didn’t care about them I just wanted to know how my finance was doing. “I’ll leave later. They won’t do anything. Jordan’s awake.” I said confidently, and the medical team got out, leaving I and the doctor alone. “So Dr Liam, is Jordan ok?” I asked. “Yes he is. I’ll only give the full report when Mrs Denver arrives.” He answered. “I demand to know who the fuck you are, and where I am? Stop staring at me like you have seen a ghost.” Jordan yelled struggling to sit up straight from the hospital bed. “If this lady

    Ella’s POV I tapped on the screen of my phone. It was 1 am. The street was lonely, just like my heart. I didn’t want to take a cab just yet. I had decided to take a walk, trying to pick up the pieces of my shattered life. Maya had woken up earlier asking where I had gone to, and I told her to come get me. My body weight had increased; I was sluggish, my arms and legs larger than before. I looked at myself and felt disgust. How could I have let this happen? This wasn’t the plan, this baby was definitely not the plan. I found an empty bench and decided to rest for a while. In no time, Maya arrived. Her hair still in a hairnet. As she approached me, I could see the crease on her forehead. “Isabella Ross, are you crazy? Hold up, do you know you’re risking my goddaughter’s safety? It’s the middle of the night. Why the hell are you roaming the streets? Come on, Ella, this is not you.” Maya scolded me, making sure I heard her yelling perfectly. “Maya, Jordan has am

She’s to be divorced, meets her arch-enemy, and now is being threatened by a man she thought would do her bidding for as long as he lived.She had driven to her brother’s place, and the entire time, she couldn’t help but scream at the top of her voice. “If fucking Daniel thinks he can threaten me, then he’s lost his mind. With the brothers I have, he’ll disappear faster than he cums.”Once parked in front of Jake’s condo, she got out, making her way towards the door as her heels clicked against the pavement.“About time. Jake, the witch is here, and she looks like an overly ripe tomato,” Jim chuckled as he set his eyes on Fiona, who had made her way in already.“I honestly don’t have time for your jokes today, Jim. There’s a lot we have to deal with, and now!” she said as she threw herself on a sofa in the living room.Jim chuckled. “We?”Fiona raised a brow and shot him a dangerous glance. “Yes, we.”“Hold up, I thought

    Third Person’s POV Fiona had driven off for a while before pulling her car over to make a call. She pulled out her phone with one hand while clenching her fist with the other. She put the phone on loud speaker as the person she was calling answered. “Yes Fiona, have you shopped to your satisfaction?” It was Jake. “Ella is back Jake, that bitch is back and she’s rich suddenly. She fucking owns Glossy Pearls.” Fiona yelled. “You’re kidding, right?” Jake chuckled. “Do I sound like I’m in the mood to play around? You guys are never serious.” She spat. “Calm down Fiona, you’ve just been yelling the entire day. Give it a break. Why don’t you come to my place, and we’ll talk about what’s bothering you. Okay?” Jake said. “It turns out I’m an unlucky female. All the men in my life are dickheads. You know what, I’ll go blow off some steam first. See you later.” She brought the phone closer to her mouth and yelled. “Fiona, I…” Jake tried to say, but she ended the call immediately

    Jordan’s POV It was past noon, and we were waiting for the results of Ella’s whereabouts. The tracker Mr Jones glanced up from his laptop. He gave me a reassuring smile and continued his work, but a smile wasn’t what I needed. I needed answers. “Boss, do you really believe ma’am Fiona will sign those documents and leave the house today?” Jerome asked. At first I would have condoned Fiona’s attitude and disrespect, but not this time. “If she doesn’t leave on her own, then I’ll make her leave forcefully.” “Mr Denver, I’ve found it!” the tech guy yelled. “Unfortunately, it’s in London.” “London?” I exclaimed “Yes Sir.” He nodded. “That can’t be right. Ella had a pending case. If she’s in London, does that mean someone dismissed the charges?” Jerome asked as he pinched his creased brows. “Probably because there was no substantial evidence against her. I guess she decided to leave the country to stay away from me.” I said through clenched teeth. “No Jordan, to stay away

    Jordan’s POV I had left the house early that morning, more angry than ever. My entire night had been filled with one discovery after another and the sight of Fiona’s face made things even worse. Jerome and I waited for John and Rob on the rooftop of a classic hotel. It had been only 10 minutes since we got there, but my anxiety was getting the better of me. John deserved an apology from me and that I will offer once I saw him. “Boss, they are here.” Jerome’s voice cut deep through my thoughts. I turned my attention to the private door that led to where we were and there they stood. “Bro!” Rob yelled as he walked up to me and John followed behind. John had on a black suit, black shades and some brown pair of shoes, just like he always did when he worked for me. His dark color shone brighter, and he looked happier with his present life. “Hi Rob.” I said as I embraced my friend. “Hi John, I’m glad you could make it.” I said, stretching my hand forward for a handshake, b

    Jess’s POV “Hold up, Ella?” Fiona asked. “This might just be the funniest day of my life. Aren’t you supposed to be in jail? What are you doing here? Worst of all, you played dress up. Awwn that’s beautiful.” Fiona smirked. I studied her for a while. She hadn’t changed so much since the last time I had a glimpse of her. She was still as ugly as fuck. One thing was for sure; today, she’ll leave this place embarrassed. “If you want something from Glossy Pearls, then I suggest you get back in line and wait like the others.” I said. “Oh, now I see. You insolent fools decide to let a random, poor and malnourished person get into Glossy Pearls over what, huh? Did she offer cheap sex? Because that’s all she’s definitely good at.” Fiona continued yelling at the guards even though I was right there. She ignored my presence, almost as if she didn’t recognize me. “I demand to see your boss. If not, I’ll call my husband right now and he’ll…..” “He’ll what?” I stopped her from fin

    Third Person’s POV Fiona had stood still for a while watching Jordan leave the house, giving her his final warnings. She wasn’t terrified nor scared of him, but she was mad, mad at the fact that he was beginning to see her for who she truly was and that she didn’t have the upper hand anymore. “Ma’am, should we throw the fruit juice as well?” A maid walked up to her and asked, taking her away from her thoughts. She stared at the maid with creased brows and clenched fists. “Are you stupid?” Fiona asked furiously. “No ma’am. I’m sorry. I just thought Master didn’t like the food, so maybe we could preserve the juice.” The maid bowed her head in fear and fidgeted with her fingers while the other servants watched the scene closely from hidden parts of the house like they always do. “You know what, since you care so much about the juice, then here, you can have it.” Fiona said as she picked up the glass jar of orange juice and poured it slowly on the maid’s head to her toes.

    Jordan’s POV “Boss, the road is clearing up.” Jerome said. I didn’t take my eyes off the retreating back of the woman I believed I had met weeks ago. Could it really be her? “Drive.” I replied Jerome curtly. If indeed she was the one, then I’d find her later. Right now, I had bigger problems to deal with, starting with Fiona and those damn papers. If only I could get my memories back, everything will probably be easier for me, but now my brain is in total shambles from one revelation to another. In no time, we arrived at my mansion, and I got inside. All I needed now was a good rest. “Hey baby, I’ve been waiting for you.” Fiona announced as she walked up to me and threw her hands around my shoulders. This is the same woman who had stolen from me before and after my accident, the same woman who cheated on me countless times with different men and the same woman who joined my mum in kicking the woman who bears my child out of my house. If not that I hate the assault of women, she sh

    Jess’s POV Ever since the night of my birthday party, I had made it a priority to try dating someone new. At first I thought it would be a good thing for Andrea to have a dad who actually remembers her, and will take care of her, but that wasn’t the case. Every date I had gone on for the past three weeks, always ended up with me leaving and never wanting to call or get a call from them again. One thing was certain, I wasn’t the problem. They were. At least that’s what I thought. “Girl, Jess…” Maya snapped her fingers in my face. “My goodness, looks like I’ve been talking to myself for minutes now.” She creased her brows and folded her arms on her chest. I let out a laugh because her petty act was so cute. Even though I hadn’t been listening to her, I know she must have been talking about a new guy she found online and she wants me to try him. “Maya, can we give it a break? We can resume man hunting after the launch tomorrow, please.” I pouted my lip and batted my lashes at her.

    Jordan’s POV“Boss, I wanted to tell you this the moment you regained consciousness, but I could see how your mum and Fiona turned everything around and made Ella the villain. I didn’t have a say, and I am just a guard.” Jerome continued, as he bowed his head to avoid my gaze.So I really did have sex with Ella? My dreams weren’t just fantasies, they were memories? My imaginations of her were valid. And now I have a child? The very child I had insulted when she came to see me. I called my flesh and blood a bastard. It all makes sense now. Ella had told me the baby’s dad died in a shootout. I should have known it was me she was talking about. What the hell have I done?“Jerome, do you know where she is presently?” I asked in a stern tone, not caring about the part where he said he had seen John. If he did see John, then it’s a good thing. At least I have two trustworthy people who care for me.“Last I heard, boss, someone locked her up for murdering one of the Baxters, but I’m certain
