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 POV “Let’s go, Rob, we can’t wait for an ambulance when we have a car!” John yelled as they struggled to lift Jordan up. In one go, they lifted him and rushed out of the door. I had been standing on the same spot, unable to speak, react, or do anything. I couldn’t understand what was happening. “Girl, are you okay?” Maya patted my shoulder. We were the only ones left in the room, but I couldn’t find my speech. “I think we should follow them, just to make sure he’s fine,” Maya suggested, and I nodded. We rushed out of the office and got to the back entrance, where the guards were helping put Jordan in the backseat of his car. “Frank, get the car ready. We’re following them,” Maya yelled as he nodded and left. I watched John get into the driver’s seat and speed off as Frank brought my car. “Here, Miss Hart,” he said as he opened the doors for Maya and me. He quickly got in as well and followed directly behind Jordan’s car. My nails dug deep into my thighs as I fel

Jess’s POVAfter the Fiona incident earlier, I thought I had seen it all, only for me to set eyes on the man I didn’t want to see, not even in a million years to come. He stood there, his eyes piercing through my body, stuttering, and unable to form a proper sentence.When one of my bodyguards had walked in, saying there was a man named John looking for me at the back entrance, I was taken aback. There was only one John I knew, and he was dead, so was this a prank?I quickly excused myself from the customers I had been attending to and pulled Maya away as well. “Which John?” she asked as I explained it to her. “Jess, do you need some rest? You’ve been working all day; I fear it’s beginning to affect your memory,” she teased as always.“Well, there’s only one way to find out if it’s really him or not,” I said, and she rolled her eyes. “John’s dead, Ella. Tell the guard to tell the imposter outside that he should get lost, as simple as that.”“Frank, can you describe the guy?” I turned
After One Night Chapter 69
Jordan’s POV Nothing made sense to me at this point. I couldn’t still believe the woman I was told that I had loved before losing my memory was the same woman I was fantasizing over, some months back. “Bro, we can go now. The car’s ready.” Rob announced as we made our way out of my office and in to my car at the parking lot. My brain spun with thousands of questions and doubts. What if she doesn’t want anything to do with me? Or what if she doesn’t let me see my kid? I know I didn’t speak nicely to her before, but I hope she understands that I wasn’t myself. Getting shot in the head is not like tossing candy to kids. It’s terrifying. Jerome drove while John sat in the passenger’s seat and Rob sat next to me at the back. We had been moving for about 15 minutes now and I couldn’t help but feel more nervous than usual. “John,” I called, and he looked at me over his shoulder. “Do you think she’ll want to see me?” “No boss, she definitely wouldn’t want to
After One Night Chapter 68
Third Person’s POVFiona had one of the worst days of her life. 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
After One Night Chapter 67
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
After One Night Chapter 66
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
After One Night Chapter 65
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
After One Night Chapter 63
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.
