"Mom? Have you been eavesdropping on me?" Cruz asked as a friend crept on his face. "I wasn't eavesdropping, I was listening!" Mrs. Westham replied as she sat on his bed."Let's assume you were listening, what's up with your response?" He asked again. "Just an honest answer!" She replied and Cruz became immediately alarmed as he sat beside his mom and glared at him. "You can't b serious, mom! Don't forget I'm your son you have to always be on my side." He reminded her. "Tsk…you know I will never lie to cover up for you. Cruz, you're a terrible person. You're not nice at all." She added, provoking Cruz even more. "Mom, that's so unfair! Do you know how many times I've gone out of my way to help that bitch? She's so annoying and she never sees what I do for her!" Cruz complained. "That's why you are such a terrible guy, Cruz. You're so pompous and egoistic. Think about it, the harm you've caused that lady is much more than the good you did for her." She reprimanded. "Mom!" Cruz c
"Exactly what you heard me say, Leah!" Dylan replied as he traced his finger on her face. “When I overheard Jessica talking on the phone with you that day, I thought tailing her all night will be of help and when I heard I disclose your secret to Cruz, I thought this was the perfect opportunity I have to separate you and Tyler forever but you managed to sort out your differences and ruined my plan. You thought coming down here will keep you and your baby safe but here you are…” "Get your filthy hands off me! And don't think about threatening my baby!" Leah interrupted as she pushed him off. ‘I knew Jessica can never betray me like this. I should have known this asshole is my only enemy.’ She thought to herself."What were you thinking? That I will let you and that asshole have your way after killing my baby? I agree you've always been his, but when you carried my child, you should have let it live. But no! You and Tyler were just too selfish to let another person's child ruin your
"Do you think something bad happened to Jessica? What if she tried to commit suicide? It is all my fault now!" Leah blamed herself as she burst out in tears. "Seriously, Leah! How can you even imagine such a thing about Jessica? And you're even taking the blame." Tyler complained. "I know I shouldn't think like this but…" Leah's voice trailed off as Tyler's phone rang once again. "Cruz…why did you end the call like that? What happened to Jessica?" Tyler asked curiously as soon as he answered the call. "You don't have to worry about her because even if she is not with me, she is in safe hands." Cruz replied. "What do you mean by that?" Leah asked eagerly. "I meant she found a really nice guy and a perfect company to keep her happy for a very long…" "What rubbish are you spewing? You know we're only calling you because we can't reach Jessica. Where is she right now?" Leah asked angrily. "Tsk…you're already married but you still don't have any patience. I'm only trying to say th
Luckily, Jason saw Cruz right before she got to where Klaus and his family were. “Cruz, what the fuck are you trying to do?” Jason whispered to Cruz.“I just wanted to confront them. If they are in a relationship, they should make it public. I would really love to see how everyone on WeCom reacts to Klaus’ relationship with a girl whose nude is all over the social media.” Cruz explained though that was not what was going on in his mind. The only thing that annoyed him was the fact that Jessica was with Klaus. He hated the idea of seeing them together and he feared a relationship might develop between the two. “Are you out of your mind? What do you think you’re doing? We are in a public place and any rubbish you try here will be all over the internet.” Jason warned but that was the least of Cruz’s worries at the moment.“I don’t give a fuck! My daily life is reported on the news with or without my permission. Everyone knows how many ladies I fuck in a day to the extent that I have n
"What the hell are you doing here?" Klaus bellowed furiously as he attempted to pick a fight with him but Jessica held him back."What are you doing in my room?" Jessica asked furiously. "Do you think I would want to come to this place after you embarrassed me the other time? I only came here because…""Embarrassed you? You insulted and embarrassed me the other day and now you're playing that victim?" Jessica asked with a creased brow but Cruz dropped his head and remained mute. "You know what? It doesn't matter anymore. Just tell me the reason you're her…" "Cruz, look, I brought the fruits." Cade interrupted unintentionally as he pushed the door open and came inside with a basket of fruits in his hand.A big smile spread on his lips as soon as he set his eyes on Jessica and immediately, he dropped the basket on the medium-sized table in the room and ran to give Jessica a tight hug. "Hey, be careful…" Klaus and Cruz unintentionally chorused and an awkward silence ensued between th
"What? What do you mean?" Jessica fumed. "I guess it's the latter because he is your weakness! I can't believe you'd do that, you know." Cade let out his disappointment. "Klaus, you've started behaving like Cruz. I still don't have any idea what you're hinting at." Jessica bawled, her eyes reddening in anger. "I should have started behaving like him for a long time now because he always seems to get his way with everything. Just because I decided not to be as cunning as he is doesn't mean I'm a fool." He ranted on. "And please, don't play dumb with me. You don't expect me to be okay with making the nurse refund my money. I brought you here after I found you stranded so late that night, remember!" He reminded but his statement not only provoked Jessica, but it also hurt her. She remained mute for a while as she raised her head to hold back the tears threatening to come out of her eyes. "Cade, please take this and wait for me outside." She ordered as she handed the small bag i
Jessica stared at the men one after the other hoping that one of them would leave her but they both remained adamant as they stared fiercely at each other so she decided to intervene. “LET GO OF MY HAND!” Jessica scolded angrily and with much hesitation, the men let go of her hand. “Cruz, what are you up to now?” Jessica asked as she was more surprised about Cruz’s gesture than Klaus’. “What does it look like I’m doing? Trying to be a better company, of course! You’ve been in my car quite a lot so I believe you will be more comfortable with me taking you home than this…Nice guy..” Cruz explained his point. “Though you haven’t been in my car for longer, I’m sure it is more comfortable as it doesn’t have hurtful memories attached.” Klaus also explained his point and he was very right. Cruz has deceived Jessica a lot in this car and it always hurts whenever she thinks about it. “You both have a point but what is the use of this advert? I don’t need it because my ride is here.” She
CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN“Because I miss you, Cruz!” The lady replied as she ran his hand over Cruz’s arm. Jessica was shocked by her response and as she took a closer look, she realized that not only her clothes were familiar, her face was too. “Cruz, you stopped inviting me in for such a long time I couldn’t take it anymore so I had to come on my own today.” She explained further but her hand never stopped caressing him and soon, her lips collided with Cruz’s. Jessica remembered her face vividly clear because while she was still in the fake relationship between herself and Cruz, the lady always came with a few other ladies who always took care of cleaning the house but this lady in particular only cleans Cruz's room and back then, Cruz made her understand that he doesn’t like it when someone cleans his room in his absence and for that reason, they were always together behind close doors and Jessica never doubted him for once.A sad smile escaped her lip as she realized what went on u
