Ella’s POV “Isabella, I have the letter here. In that letter your mum wrote about being in love with me as well and she planned on following me back to London but got threatened by my mum.” He said handing me the letter now. This can’t be true, can it? He’s probably just making all this up. My brain buzzed with a series of questions as I looked at the letter in front of me written in Mrs Rose’s handwriting. He stood up and walked towards the window. “You see Isabella, my mum, your grandmother Nancy didn’t like my relationship with Bella. She hated the fact I had to mix myself up with a nobody as she called it. And she had me betrothed here in London without my knowledge.” “The day before we were to travel, mum visited Bella at Mrs Rose’s laundry shop. According to the letter, she physically hurt your mum, and told her to stay away from me if she wanted to see the break of dawn. Bella had explained to my mum she was pregnant for me, but your grandma rejected you. Bella feared

Ella’s POV I discovered in a single day that my father hadn’t abandoned me, my mother may not have run away, my grandmother rejected me, and that Maya’s parents were killed. What the actual fuck! “Maya, I’m sorry, but you need to know this as well. It’ll be unfair for me not to treat the woman who has always been there for my daughter as family.” Dad said as he folded his arms on his chest. “Excuse me, Mr Hart, so what you’re saying is, my drunk and substance misuse of a mother didn’t leave me? And my gambler of a father, too? Oh wow? Although I had so much pain and hatred for them in my heart, I thought I felt nothing for them, but this actually hurts me.” Maya said. I brought her in for a hug, not wanting to let go of my dear friend. I know she can be very tough, but right now I could see the hurt in her eyes. We weren’t so different after all. Our parents didn’t willingly leave us behind. One circumstance led to another and I’m happy my dad had found me. “This is where i

Jordan’s POV “I’m pregnant, babe. Here are the test results. You’re going to be a dad,” Fiona announced as she stomped her hands together in brief cheers. This must be a joke, right? Not like I don’t want a kid, but how? When did we… ? “You don’t look happy about this, Jordan.” Fiona snapped a finger in my face. “Of course I’m happy. I’m going to be a dad. That’s great Fiona. I think we should go over to mum’s and have a little celebration,” I said, trying to calm her down. It’s been two months since we got married, and the path has been rough. So how a baby came about. I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I needed to ask, just to be sure. I’m not certain Fiona is unfaithful to me and I’m no saint either, but I had my doubts. “Fiona quick question. Was it the night we…?” I didn’t finish, and she cut me off. "You can’t be serious right now, Jordan, can you? We fucking had sex at your office the day I met you drinking. Remember? I brought you home, and we continued.” Wel

Jordan’s POV I starred at my screen for a couple of minutes before realizing what had actually just happened. So the person I had seen that day was John? I wasn’t hallucinating? He’s alive? But how? My mind raced with countless questions. Another text message came in. “Meet me at the public park at exactly 12am. Don’t text me. I’ll be the person doing the texting and I’ll be waiting for you.” It was 11:30pm and I couldn’t afford to lose this opportunity. If it was a scam, then I’d risk it. They’re just some certain things I need to know and only John can fill me in. I pulled up my trousers and stormed out of the bathroom. “Mum, Fiona, Auntie Maggie, y’all go on without me. I’ll be back in a while. Just need to take care of something.” I announced as I arrived at the dinner table. “Where are you off to, son? What’s so important at this time? Your wife is pregnant. She needs you here,” Mother said. “Yes, Baby I need you, please don’t go.” Fiona added. “This is really important.

Jordan’s POV “Wait what?” “What do you mean by I married the wrong woman? My wife Fiona is at home. First you tell me what the police have been saying about me being the primary target wasn’t true, second you involve that low life maid, third you tell me my mum is a liar and now you say I married the wrong woman?” I yelled. “Boss, I would never force you to believe me because I know your condition. And what I’m about to tell you will not sink in immediately, but one day you’d reflect on this day and remember what I told you. Now let’s take a seat first.” John said as he pointed over to some chairs. It was past midnight, and I was out with a man who was supposed to be dead in the middle of the park. How on earth did I even agree to get here? I thought maybe he could tell me me something reasonable, but I had lost my patience. Nothing made sense. “Boss, the day of the shooting, they thought Ella was in the car with us. I’m very certain they didn’t plan on killing you. Everyth

Jordan’s POV I guess the therapy session I had been doing was all for nothing because I just got my brain damaged for the second time. I let out a deep sigh and walked back to my car. The night was chilly and I couldn’t sit on this bench anymore. Fiona had been ringing my phone nonstop since I got to the park. Mother as well. I arrived at the mansion in less than ten minutes. “Jerome, here are the keys.” I called and handed them over. I definitely didn’t like to drive and I don’t think I’d be doing that anytime soon. “Boss, there’s something. They rushed Ma’am Fiona to the hospital minutes after you left. They’ve tried getting to you, but you switched your phone off.” Jerome said. “What? Why is Fiona at the hospital? What happened?” I asked, rushing back into the car. “You know what? Just drive me there now.” I yelled. Jerome got in and drove away immediately. What had I done? Damn, I hope Fiona and the baby are okay. I should have picked up my calls, but no I decided to li

Jordan’s POV “Please don’t yell at me, Jordan. I’ve had a tiring day and I just want to go to bed. Can’t you understand I lost my baby and I just want to do something to keep my mind off it? I’m trying here. So let me be,” Fiona yelled and dashed into the bedroom, leaving me standing alone in the living room. It’s been five months since Fiona had undergone the surgery to keep her and the baby safe and everything was fine. Now, a month back, she suspiciously had a miscarriage? How does one explain that? I made sure to take good care of her. I gave her everything she needed. She remained stress free, and I provided constant support, yet we still lost our child. The doctors had given me a long explanation I couldn’t comprehend, and since then Fiona had gone back to her old habits of going out late at night. I understood she might still be hurting from losing a child, but it didn’t warrant this behavior. I gulped down the remains of my glass and moved to the bedroom as well.

Jordan’s POV“Excuse me, sir?” Jane asked, a frown settled on her face. I stood up and walked towards the door, locking it shut. Besides, Jake’s appointment wasn’t till noon and no one could bother me. If this was my dick talking to me, then let it talk more often. I couldn’t stand Fiona’s tacky body. I needed something fresh. And till today, I didn’t think another woman apart from that maid in my dreams could arouse me. “Jane, I have one question to ask you and the proposal I’ll make will depend on how you answer that question.” I said, walking back to my desk. She starred at me in confusion, and I couldn’t blame her. Even I confused myself with the way I was acting. “Okay, sir, what’s the question?” Her soft voice came at me, and I felt the tension in my groin intensify harder against my trousers. “Do you find me attractive?” I asked with a smirk on my face. This right here might be one of the dumbest questions I had ever asked a woman. “Sir, you’re a nice and good looking man but

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

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
