After One Night Chapter 76
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

Jess’s POVToday was my fourth date with Dione since the Jordan incident, and I made sure to look my absolute best. I had explained who Jordan was to me, and he completely understood, but I could see the rage in his eyes. It was safe to say I felt safe around him as time went on. Strangely enough, I hadn’t heard anything from Jordan for four days. He suddenly went silent after that night.The day Jordan had asked me that silly question, I didn’t understand why my stupid words decided to fail me all of a sudden. I know I’ve gotten over Jordan, probably, but I couldn’t say it, and he found satisfaction in my gullible moment.****When the words “sorry” left his mouth, it irritated me even more. I didn’t know what he was playing at anymore. My mind went back and forth on whether he was actually being remorseful or he just felt like ruining my life.As I said Andrea’s name, I realized I had made a big mistake, and it fueled me more as I stormed out of his car into the house without sparin

Jess’s POVI had prayed for the night to end so I could go home and rethink my actions. Was I really ready to date someone again? Was I doing this for myself, or was I doing it because I wanted to spike Jordan and I wanted him to care? The thoughts I had been trying to hide made me shudder as Dione’s car came to a halt.“I’m so happy you decided to give me a chance, Jess, and I promise I would never rush you into anything. I want to give you the best because that’s what you deserve and not the bare minimum,” his speech kept echoing in my ears as I got lost in my thoughts as always.“Sure, Dione, I’ll head inside now. Have a great night.” I flashed him a comforting smile as he held my hands and brought them to his lips, placing light kisses on them. He was so sweet, but I couldn’t understand what I was feeling anymore. How could one person be so confused in her life?As I made my way out of the car, I waved him goodbye and began walking towards the front doors, but I noticed a strange

Jess’s POVIn one night, I had messed up my friendship that had been standing tall for years. The only person who ever stood for me when no one else did now avoided me like I was some trash. Was Jordan’s arrogance rubbing off on me? I couldn’t pinpoint where my unnecessary outburst came from.I had stayed up all night, unable to get some shut-eye as the morning light crept its way through my windows, and I squinted my eyes.I had sent Dione a text message after Maya and I fought, telling him not to be late for dinner with my dad the next day. He asked me for tips on how to impress my dad and said that he was nervous, but I stopped replying and tossed my phone away, staring up at the golden ceiling. Now morning came without me getting any sleep.I moved out of my comfortable queen-sized bed slowly and dragged my legs to the bathroom. Once there, I took the longest bath of my entire life as I stared at my reflection countless times, unable to tell if what went down between Maya and me r

Jess’s POV.The day went by in the blink of an eye as the servants prepared the dinner for the night. It was 6 p.m. now, and Dione was to be here by 7. I stood in front of my closet, unable to pick out a good outfit for the night.My door creaked open. It was Maya. She walked towards where I had stood and stared at my closet as well. “Although I don’t like this guy, I’d never let you look horrible,” she teased as she pushed me lightly out of the way and began ravaging my closet.I stood there as I watched my best friend in action. Always looking out for me, even when she could be doing her own thing, she was always there to help me. I really couldn’t imagine a life without Maya in it.“Bingo!” she said as she turned around with a white simple dress. “Too simple, but what makes it unique is the extravagant split at the side.” She convinced me and threw the cloth on my body. “Try it,” she said and went into the room.I had taken a bath already, so I put on the silky dress and stood in f

Jordan’s POV.The night I had threatened Fiona and sent her packing felt like I had won some sort of lottery. I didn’t expect her to react so fast to my threats. I was seated at the office with Jerome, John, and Rob the next day when the documents came in, and they were signed.“Great, boss. Now we can gather more evidence without the enemy around you all the time, and you can pursue Ma’am Jess again,” John had said, and indeed the thought of making Jess mine again was exciting, but I wasn’t excited.Do you ever feel like you want something or someone, but yet you can’t figure out why? Well, that was me. It hurt me to hear that I was so much in love with this woman, but I couldn’t remember exactly why I loved her so much that I was willing to risk everything for her. Worst of all, she didn’t want anything to do with me now. So how on earth was I supposed to make something like that work without my memories?I decided to stay away from her for a while just till I can understand what I

Third Person’s POV Jordan had left Jess’s house more confused than when he went. Maya had unexpectedly asked to see him the following day, and he couldn’t understand why Maya, of all people, would want to talk to him, but he prepared for her visit anyway. As Jordan made his way into his house, John, Jerome, and Rob were seated in the living room, anxiously waiting for an answer about what had gone down between him and Jess, but his expression made them realize nothing had changed. “I’m sorry, bro,” Rob said as he walked up to his friend. “But I don’t get it. Jess was in love with me. What changed? What did I do to her apart from losing my memories, which was definitely not my fault?” He questioned as he joined them in the sitting room. “I mean, I fought hard to get these memories back. Or is there something I’m missing?” “I think Ma’am Jessica just needs time, Boss. She’ll come around,” Jerome assured Jordan, and he nodded in agreement, although deep down he felt like yelling

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

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
