After One Night Chapter 56
Third Person’s POV “Jake, what happened? I thought everything was fine?” Dave asked as he leaned backwards to make himself more comfortable awaiting the disastrous news Jake had. Jake cleared his throat while pacing around the dinner table and fidgeting with his phone. “Bro, if you don’t talk to us soon, we’ll have a headache from your pacing. Jesus Christ, please say something already. How bad is the issue, and I thought that family will be left alone? Why do I need to kill them? It’s not like I don’t love the idea. I’m just curious,” Jim said. Fiona stood up from her seat and walked over to her dad, placing a kiss on his cheek. “Dad, I have an angry husband who just lost his mother because of me. I’d not like him to start searching for me. Plus, his mood has been off lately since we got back and no, I don’t think it’s about his mother’s dead. Something else. So, dear brother Jake, when you finally have the information you want to give us, call me.” “Fiona, sit down. Your du

Jordan’s POV “Baby, I and Jake aren’t that close. All I know is he used to be friends with my late father.” Fiona said, looking me straight in the eye. “Why? Is something wrong?” I ignored her question and continued typing the message I wanted to send to Rob. He’ll be flying in tomorrow. “Baby, hello, talk to me. Is there a problem? You’ve just been ignoring me lately and I know something is wrong, so spill.” Fiona snapped her fingers in my face. I had received a letter from Attorney Dimitri earlier and what he wrote left me feeling like an idiot for not giving a listening ear to John. So I tried reaching to the number John used to get to me, then I realized he must have left the country like he said he would. Jake Baxter had threatened Dimitri to have me sign a fraudulent document that would benefit his family’s business, and there was only one person who knows how I operate with documents. My witch of a wife. Fiona must be working with Jake and from what Dimitri explained,

Jordan’s POV I woke up the next morning feeling better than ever. Although I nearly had my entire wealth stolen, I felt happier. Today I become free from a stupid marriage. I should have done this sooner, but mum wouldn’t let me. If only she knew the witch, she made me marry. “I’m sorry mum but if I don’t this, I might join you soon.” I muttered as I got into the back of my car and Jerome sped away. While in the car, I received a text from Rob saying he might have found my guy. “John.” He had him investigated, and it turns out John had moved to London with his wife, the woman who had helped him like he said. All I needed was one more chance for him to help me, and I was going to get that. I hope. Another text came in still from Rob. “Do you want his new number? Or should I talk to him before coming to Evergreen? Maybe I can convince him to come along with me.” John might think Jake is after him if he sees a strange face like Rob’s and I don’t want that. “I’ll call him up firs

Jordan’s POV My headaches were becoming worse by the minute, but I had to make sure Jane was safe from her hostile boyfriend. Earlier, I had him locked up and found Jane a new apartment to stay in. I told her to take some time off work as well. Once she got in to the apartment and I was sure everything was okay, I left. I had told Jerome to set up an appointment with the investigator tomorrow, but I was eager to hear what he had to say, so we rescheduled. It was 5pm now and we were headed to a not so popular café out of Evergreen. We stopped in front of a small building in a lonely alley that smelled of sex and cheap weed. The cafe was tucked away on a narrow side street, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city “Jerome, are you sure this place is safe?” I asked, trying to ensure I could trust this investigator. “Boss, this place is safe. It’s my neighborhood and nothing can happen to you here, I assure you.” He nodded and smiled. Indeed, it was his neighborhood. I cou

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

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, 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

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.

Jess’s POV“Champagne-colored or black?” I raised the two beautiful gowns I had picked out from my closet in front of Maya.We had been going through my wardrobe the whole night and had just about 4 hours of sleep after finding nothing, but here we were again, searching another part of my closet we didn’t touch. It was 4 p.m., and Maya couldn’t decide.I had gone over to my shop earlier and passed out some instructions before leaving. My assistant was an angel; she always made my life easier on days like this.“That’s it, Jess, the champagne-colored dress is absolutely gorgeous. You don’t even need to try it on; I can already tell how well it’ll fit you.” She did a little dance, stomping her hands in a cheer and grinned widely. “Now, go get a bath so we can butter you up.”She pushed me lightly into the bathroom and shut the door. “Wow, I’m really doing this, aren’t I?” I sighed as I let the towel around my chest fall and got into the rosy bathtub water.I enveloped myself in scented

Jess’s POV“The wedding was horrible!” Dione said, and we burst out into laughter.Do you ever just bump into someone and have conversations like you’ve known each other for years? Well, that was Dione and I right now. We had been sitting and chatting so much that I completely lost track of time.“You said it was your sister’s wedding, right? So how come it was horrible?” I asked, staring him straight in the eye. Those dark brown eyes and lashes longer than Fiona’s real and fake lashes.He was breathtaking. This type of guy could lock me up in jail, and I wouldn’t dare ask why. His chiseled jawlines clenched tight even when he smiled; his dimples dug deeper than any I’ve seen. Talk more of perfect dentition and fresh mint breath. His choice of words carried aura and respect.“She got married to a dumb guy I had warned her not to marry. It’s a long story, but trust me, this guy’s not worth it.” He turned to me and smiled, showing me his perfect teeth.If he says the guy wasn’t worth hi

Jess’s POV We left the hospital with the hope that Fiona wouldn’t get to see John.This had been the second longest and most confusing day of my life, and all I wanted was to go home and hug Andrea tightly. The first was when I found out about my dad; the confusion I felt then was way more than what I feel now. “Where to, Miss Hart?” Frank inquired as he stared at me from the driver’s mirror. “Let’s go home,” I replied, and he nodded, “right away, ma’am.” Maya had been focused on her phone all the way to the house. “Girl, who are you seriously texting?” I snapped my fingers in her face, trying to get her attention.She looked up at me, and her face lit up with excitement. “Okay, I know this might be a bad time for this, but I’ve found you the perfect boyfriend.” What a random statement at a time like this. Classic Maya. “Do you need a check-up? What does a new boyfriend have to do with me at this point?” I shot her a glance. “Come on, girl, don’t look at me that way. Remember ou

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
