After One Night Chapter 75
Jess’s POV“Do you like it?” Dione asked as I sipped from a glass of champagne that was brought to us by the waiter as a compliment. “I’ve had better, but not bad,” I answered, savoring the drink, allowing my taste buds to do the trick. “What do you think?” I asked. He brought the glass that had been sitting in front of him gently to his lips and tasted it. “I agree with you,” he said, without taking his eyes off me. In fact he hadn’t taken his eyes off me the entire evening. “What are you thinking of having?” Dione asked as he looked up at me with that charming smile. I scanned the menu again. “Uh, maybe the… filet mignon?” “Excellent taste, I see,” he chuckled. “I think I’ll go for the duck confit.” The waiter appeared, taking our order with a practiced grace, and I couldn’t help but notice how effortlessly Dione handled it all. Once he was done, the waiter turned on his heel and left. Earlier, I had said, “you look great too,” as a compliment to Dione. But oh my, I was just

Jordan’s POVEver felt like there’s a volcano erupting in your head after setting eyes on the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen? Well, that was me the day I came face to face with Ella, or Jess as she likes it.The anger on her face made my heart sad, something I didn’t know existed till her existence. She had looked at me with so much disdain, like I was the worst person she had ever come across.I tried to speak, to let her know I’m sorry for being so stupid, but my speech decided to disappear on me. What the hell did I think would happen anyways? That she’d see the man who put her through so much and decide to hug him?She had smiled beautifully at John and Jerome, but when she turned to leave, she didn’t spare me a glance, and that’s when my brain stopped, literally.A sharp pain sent me flying to the floor without warning as bits of memories tried to make their way through. All I could remember after that was Rob yelling for an ambulance to be called, and everything went dark

Jordan’s POV“Take me home now!” Jess yelled, skipping the question I had asked her after contemplating for minutes. One could think she wasn’t sure whether she loved me or not, so I was going to ignore her banters till I got my answer.“Your hesitation makes me believe you do.” I smirked.She rolled her eyes. “In your wildest dreams. First, you interrupt my date and now you’re here forcing me against my will to answer silly questions? I knew you were an arrogant, stuck-up guy, but this is the height of it. Take me home now, or I’ll press charges against you for kidnap.”I laughed out so loud I almost couldn’t breathe. “How cute.” She stared at me, confused by my sudden outburst. The truth was, I knew I had hurt Jess, but it wasn’t my fault I had lost my memory and even if it wasn’t back, I could feel the strong connection we had.“You think this is funny, really?” She folded her arms and turned away from my gaze.“Yes, Jess, what you said amused me. I didn’t kidnap you, you followed

Ella’s Pov The music was so loud it was almost deafening. The club filled with people we had never seen in our lives, yet everyone danced like they had known each other for the longest time. I swayed my hips all over the place as we danced, laughed and enjoyed ourselves, besides we owed this enjoyment to our bodies for working so hard in order to get here. “Ella, did you notice the guy in a black suit staring at you? He’s been looking at you ever since we got here,” I listened to Maya scream over the loud music as we danced. “It’s one of the many guys who couldn’t keep their eyes off from us since we got here,” I replied and we burst out into laughter. It was true. We looked so sexy tonight. Our effort tonight made the fun even better. “Mind joining me for a drink?” I discerned a deep baritone voice turning around to see the most beautiful creature I had seen. He looked like a model straight from a magazine cover. OMG!!! I couldn’t help but scream in my head. I can’t jus

Ella’s POV “Do your jobs properly or you’ll return to where you all came from. Is that understood?” Mrs Denver continued speaking and I could see the fear in the eyes of my colleagues. We are all maids here and we have jobs to do that we can’t afford to lose. Our agency had prepared us to work for Mrs Denver; we scrambled for the job because back in Hong Kong, our living condition wasn’t the best. So I and Maya were extremely happy when we knew we’d be coming to America to work for an influential family. At least we’ll be living our unfortunate lives back in Hong Kong. “Start preparing for my son’s visit; you’re dismissed,” she said as we left her presence back to the various activities we had to carry out. I and Maya were on kitchen duty preparing the food for the afternoon. “I can’t believe you f****d that guy Isabella Ross, you’re such a bad girl” Maya said teasing me and I couldn’t help it but feel shy. Did I really do that? How could I have lost my virginity to a guy

Ella’s POV “Stay right there Fiona, don’t come any closer.” I heard Jordan say in an angry tone. Is this man even serious? So he had a girlfriend and he behaved that way with me yesterday. Not like I cared about this brat making all this noise at the moment, but I just felt sorry for her that her loving Jordan was a cheat. Suddenly, the attraction I felt towards this man, who was now walking to the door, turned to disgust. “What are you doing here, Fiona? And why are you creating a scene in my home causing trouble?” Jordan said, now standing in front of her and I stood here wanting to disappear in any way that I can. I didn’t want to be part of this drama. “Your girlfriend comes to see you and this is what you have to say to me, Jordan? You have never acted this way toward me, is it because of this lowlife maid?” Fiona asked now looking at me like I was mud under her feet. Maybe I was because I had nothing compared to her. “You don’t get to insult her and I’m going to ask for t

Ella’s POV Beep beep……. I could get the sound of machines but couldn’t open my eyes. It felt like I was dying, but I could listen to voices speak as they came in and out of the room where I was in. I was in the hospital. Last thing I remember I was laying down and people hovered around me now I’m here. I struggled to open my eyes and searched around the room. I found Maya laying on the couch looking like she hadn’t had some rest in years. She noticed I was awake and bolted towards me. “Hey girl, how’re you feeling now? Let me get the doctor.” She said in a soothing voice and rushed towards the door. In less than a minute, she returned with a medical team who were now checking my vitals and making sure I was doing well. “It’s a good thing you’re finally awake. Miss Isabella. We are happy you fought hard,” the doctor said, and I could barely comprehend what he was saying. After a while they left the room, leaving I and Maya alone. I took a glance at the hospital room where I wa

Ella’s POV “Master, we’ve found who tried to kill Miss Ella,” John announced, and I saw Jordan’s face fuel with anger. I had never seen this look on him. He looked like he could kill anyone right now. “Ok, give me a minute, I’ll be with you.” Jordan replied and with that, John left the room. I had to at least know who wanted me dead. Although I had an idea but I hope it wasn’t the Baxter family. I know they wanted me dead for the trouble I caused them. I really hope it wasn’t them. “Ella, I know you have all rights to know, but please, can you let me handle this for now? Immediately, I’m sure of the suspect. I’ll inform you right away and you can decide what ever you want me to do with the person and it’ll be done in an instant. I promise you.” Jordan said to me in a very soft tone. He was a gentle guy and a rough one as well when need be. But right now, he was the sweetest person ever. I nodded my head, giving permission to go ahead and with that he left the room instructing t

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
After One Night Chapter 70
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
