After One Night Chapter 85
Jess’s POVMy actions were uncalled for, but I couldn’t stop. His lips tasted the same, like they had waited for me all these months. He was so surprised, but knowing who Jordan Denver was, he wouldn’t push me away.He finally softened up as his left hand traced my cheeks, while his right hand moved around my waist, pulling me in for more. His mouth moved like I remembered it, his saliva a taste of fresh mint and, at the same time, rose petals.The kiss became more intense as he pleaded for access to go deeper into my mouth, with his tongue forcing my teeth open like he couldn’t wait any longer. I didn’t resist, and I surrendered to the hunger in him, feeling the heat building between us. He sucked and nibbled my insides until I felt I’d run out of saliva. It was as though every part of me was waking up, and I hated myself for it.But then, something in me snapped, and I withdrew from the kiss and his hold, almost falling to the floor, but he caught me in time. I couldn’t contain the

Third Person’s POVJess stared at Dione for a couple of seconds as he fidgeted with his words. Her fear of Dione having something to do with Maya’s disappearance kept rising, but she waited patiently for what he had to say.“Okay, baby, I didn’t want to tell you this because I didn’t want to make you worry about me, but I got into a little trouble today with a guy who bumped into my car,” he explained and paced the room as Jess’s expression softened.“I was so pissed off at his arrogance that I couldn’t let him off the hook, so I got him arrested.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “While at the station, I overheard some gossip from the officers at the front desk talking about Maya’s sudden disappearance, so I figured why not come to my girlfriend, she might need my help.”Dione concluded, as he ran his hands through his hair. “I hope she buys this story,” he said inwardly and studied Jess to see her next reaction.Meanwhile, Jess battled with her thoughts and emotions for having doubts

Third Person’s POV“Tomorrow, I’ll get it done,” Dione said as Fiona handed some wireless surveillance cameras to him.“What about her?” he asked, pointing to the unconscious Maya. “What will we do with her? She’s heard a lot. We can’t just let her go, right?”Fiona chuckled. “You’re older than me, yet so naive. Of course we can’t let her go. She’ll run her mouth and spoil the plans I’ve had my entire life. She’ll stay here till I can figure out what to do with her.”“Makes sense,” he said and took one last glance at Maya before turning back to Fiona. “If that’s all, can I leave? This place is crawling under my skin.”“Okay, little girl, run along,” she rolled her eyes, and he made his way out while she crouched down where Maya lay.A smirk played on her lips as she took away some strands of hair from Maya’s sweaty face. “The lion has fallen. So tough and feisty, but everyone and everything has an ending. It’s just so satisfying to see you in this position, at my mercy. Get a good nig

Third Person’s POVDione rode over to the church where they held Maya captive and made his way inside.“Finally, the slug arrives,” Fiona said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.“There was a lot of traffic, boos,” he replied.“That’s not my problem. Move over here,” she snapped, and he moved closer as he noticed a dark figure seated on a chair in a corner, while Maya still laid there, her clothes slightly torn. He noticed she looked more restless and helpless than she had been yesterday.“Boss, something’s wrong with her. Has she had any food yet?” Dione asked, but he realized he should have just kept his mouth shut when Fiona gave him a harsh glare.“If you’re so worried about her, Dione, why don’t you get her food? And while you’re at it, you can bring her family members as well so she feels better,” Fiona retorted. The shadow he had seen in the corner came into the light. It was Jake.“Hi, boss Jake. I didn’t notice you were here. I thought you were supposed to be back in Hong Kong?

Jess’s POV I stood frozen, watching as my best friend was lowered six feet into the cold, unyielding ground. My emotions got the better of me, and I couldn’t hold it back anymore. The weight of my grief pressed against my chest, making it hard to breathe. As I tossed a single white rose onto her coffin, my vision blurred with tears. Her death shattered me; it left a hole in my heart that could never be mended, no matter how hard I tried.The day we had found her body at the dumpster, my chest tightened as I stared at her lifeless body. I had rushed over to her, crouching down as I shook her cold shoulders with desperation, hoping maybe she was just playing a sick joke on me. “Maya, girl. Please wake up. I know you’re awake, and I don’t really have time for a joke like this.” I screamed, but no, her body remained still, and then realization hit me hard. I had lost my friend to the hands of death. I sat there at the dumpster, trailing her gunshot wounds with my fingers, and the print

Jess’s POVWhat in the fucking hell is going on here? Could it be that?“No, Jess, calm down. You can’t break down here. Act normal so he doesn’t suspect a thing, alright?” I exhaled deeply as I took out my phone and got a picture of the message on his.Immediately I was done, I put his phone back exactly where it was and played it cool. The bathroom door opened up, and he came out with a grin as he took a seat by me.“I should never have trusted this lying motherfucker. Maya warned me, and I can’t believe I got into a fight with my best friend just because of you.” My mind went wild as I offered him a smile while he kept chatting about things I couldn’t even hear anymore.I’ve got to get out of here. But where would I go to? If I raise alarms, Fiona will see from the cameras, and they’ll go into hiding. If she put them in my room, there may be more around the entire house.“Jordan!” His name flashed through my brain in seconds. He was definitely who I should go to now. I’ll just call

The way she walked into my place with tears in her eyes and how shaken she looked, I knew something was wrong.After she had explained everything, I tried to remain calm.

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

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.

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. He mourned his one true love, the woman who made him st
