After One Night Chapter 13
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

Ella’s POV “Ella, I wish we could at least go back and pay our respects to Mrs Rose for always looking out for us,” Maya said, letting out silent sobs. Mrs Rose had always been there, even though we weren’t her kids. The old woman tried to make us better people. Today just felt like the worst day ever. Everything keeps going wrong. How much more can a girl take? In one day Jordan forgets all our times together, sends me a restraining order and Mrs Rose dies too? I hadn’t even told him yet about our baby. But how was I supposed to when his evil mother denied her own grandchild? “Don’t worry, girl, we’ll be fine. I know coming here was to make some money, but now things are not looking good. Another thing, I’ll go out tomorrow in search of another cleaning job. That will help us get by this month’s expenses and get more stuff for my Goddaughter.” Maya assured. She was indeed the best friend in the world. We got dressed and went out for some groceries. Soon after we arrived at

Ella’s POV I walked into the hospital I had vowed I would not go back to again. But this time. It wasn’t to receive insults from people who didn’t matter. I moved with my head held up high. Jordan had asked to see me. This meant one thing only. He remembers me and still loves me. I’ll tell him about our baby today. I met Jerome at the door, standing guard as usual. “Hi ma’am Ella, I don’t think you should be here. You might get arrested.” Jerome whispered. I explained to him Jordan had requested to see me, and I could see the smile on his face. He wished for the same thing I had wished for. Letting out a deep sigh, I pushed the door ajar and found Jordan laying on the hospital bed. “Come in.” He said in a low voice. I walked slowly, mainly because my belly kept slowing me down as the days went on. “Hey Jordan.” I said. “Don’t come any closer. Just stay there.” He said as I tried to move closer to his bed. Maybe he’s just tired, that’s all. I stood there waiting for him to

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

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

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
