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

    Jordan’s POV She did as I instructed and moved over to my vast window that held the sight of almost the entire town. I walked closer to her and placed kisses on her neck that made her body stiffen up a little as she let out a soft moan. I trailed from her knee up to her thigh under her tight, dark skirt. Her fleshy thighs began producing goosebumps from the feeling of my touch. Next, I moved my fingers up to her lacy underwear and felt her pussy, which was dripping wet already. “Looks like someone had been dreaming about a day like this. Your water park pussy says it all, little one.” I teased as I sucked on her earlobes, sending more pleasure through her body. I pressed her hard against the window and cupped one of her boobs with my free hands while the other teased the surface of her pussy. “Before you get my dick, you get the finger. Now beg me to finger-fuck you like the good girl you are.” “Please fuck me baby, I can’t take it anymore. I need to feel you in me.” She wail

    Jordan’s POV “Leave my office now. You don’t contact me until I do. Behave like a professional or you lose your job, understand?” I said, as I dismissed Jane after having the time of my life. “Yes sir, I understand. Don’t forget to go over those files and call me in if there’s any other thing you need.” She responded and left my office. I should feel like the worst person right now, but I don’t feel shit. I just lost my kid with Fiona and the best thing I could do was fuck another woman? I should have just married someone I loved because this was the toughest decision I had to take. Cheating on a woman was against my principles. Now I feel like my dad took over my head after the shooting. It was noon, and I had to receive the cunning Jake Baxter. With or without’s John’s warning, I know I can’t trust that man. His face screamed the word criminal, but I’d take my time to find out more about him. For now, business was more important, and that’s what I’ll attend to first. I sank

    Third Person’s POV Jake strolled out of Jordan’s office with a sinister look on his face. “I guess this Jordan guy is really dumb after all.” He mumbled as he got out of the building and into his black Rolls Royce. He leaned back into the passenger seat and picked up his phone, searching for a number. Once he saw it, he dialed it and it rang for a while before it was picked up. “Did you succeed?” A female voice spoke from the other side of the phone. “You know Fiona, I could never have imagined this shit was so easygoing. The first shipment turned out perfect without him suspecting a thing and now he was about to sign that document and make us richer. I think you over hyped this husband of yours.” Jake laughed. “And I think you’re underestimating him a lot, Jake. Jordan is smarter than you think. If we get caught, he’ll crush us till we can’t be seen anymore. He can get that vile,” Fiona said. “Well, he can’t do anything, especially if we get that amount of money written on t

    Third Person’s POV “Don’t you think you should stay over for the night? Dad is flying in tomorrow and it’s been a long while since he saw you baby sis,” Jim suggested as he took a puff from his weed. Fiona rolled her eyes. “I know right, I miss dad too, but you know Jordan will lift buildings to find where I am at the moment. I don’t get why he finds it so hard to trust me.” She said. “Huhm, maybe because you’re a sly woman, a devil, and the reason for his future downfall he doesn’t know about yet. Not forgetting you almost killed his girlfriend twice, and you initiated the shooting. Do you need more reasons?” Jim stated while he choked on his own laughter. “Jim, you’re forgetting some stuff. Can you believe she faked a pregnancy? Even the doctors went along with her lie. Fiona, let’s skip the fact you’re our baby sister. If I were to marry a woman like you, I’d rather jump off a cliff before you kill me in another way.” Jake chuckled. Fiona poured herself the second glass

    Jordan’s POV “Agh, mmm,” Jane moaned as I slipped my fingers deeper into her damp pussy. “Jane,” I called out,, “you’re so wet for someone who has barely been touched this morning. I think just the mare sight of me makes you happy.” I smirked as my eyes landed on her almost exposed cleavage. “And I think you’re beginning to do this on purpose, sweetheart.” Work swamped me the next morning when I arrived at the office after a heated argument with Fiona the previous night about her uncalled for behavior. But then I felt a pang of guilt. I couldn’t expect her to keep her body for me when my dick couldn’t stay still in my pants after discovering the sweetness of Jane’s body. I had almost agreed to an open marriage, but then I held myself back from making that mistake. Fiona was still my wife, after all. I’d decided to the open marriage in my head without her consent. She can fuck other guys. “Now, remember, this should not repeat itself. Don’t dress like a slut in my building. You

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

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.

    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.
