Jessica became alarmed as she wondered how he knew what was going on with her but she didn't want to make Cade worry about her so she decided to feign ignorance to the best of her ability. "W-what are you…" "You don't have to pretend. I know the email was from the school. Our exams are over now and we will be going on a holiday soon, did they fire you?" Cade interrupted, leaving Jessica dumbfounded for a while as the tears she was trying so hard to hold back came rushing down her cheeks. Cade raised his head from her lap to meet Jessica's gaze but she quickly turned away and tried to wipe off her tears but Cade wiped them off for her before she could raise her hand. "Even if it is hard, please try and get some sleep. I need to sleep too." She suggested as she quickly made her way towards the door. "I'm sorry. Maybe we shouldn't have met…that way, my brother couldn't have got the chance to exert his revenge." Cade apologized, forcing Jessica to stand still. "Cade…none of this is
Jessica quickly collected the note and read it out. *NOTE FROM CADE* My brother and I have caused you nothing but pain when you have always helped us and for that, I'm deeply sorry. Even though you are angry at me, if you keep seeing me around the house, you're going to be worried about Cruz and I don't want that, not after all he has done to you. Thank you for taking care of me, I will join them in searching for my brother from now on. *NOTE END* She read out and tears did seize to gush out from her eyes. "Oh, God! Where could this kid have gone?" Jessica cried out. "Calm down Jessie. Maybe we should contact Tyler." Leah suggested and it made a lot of sense. "Yes! I will call him but you should eat something, you can't skip your meals." Jessica suggested and Leah went to the table to eat her breakfast while Jessica quickly went back to her room to get her phone. She dialed Tyler's number over and over again but it wasn't going through so she decided to get Jason's contact
"He might have been rescued or kidnapped." Tyler announced and a rush of fear washed over Cade. "K-kidnapped?" He stuttered."Yeah! After all, he is a rich dude and a popular figure." Tyler replied."Tyler, calm down please." Jason begged. "Should I calm down? Do you know how worried Jessica would be right now? Especially when she thinks you are wondering about all by yourself in this unsafe neighborhood." Tyler complained as he pulled out his phone, switched it on, and dialed Jessica's number. His phone was dead all through the night but he charged it in the hotel they lodged. "Now her number is not going through!" He exclaimed before dialing Leah's. "How are you doing dear?" He asked as soon as Leah answered the call. "I'm good. Why were all your numbers not going through? Jessica tried to call you all but none could get through except Daniel's and she couldn't even hear him well." Leah complained. "My phone was switched off and the network here is terrible. Where is she now?
Jessica woke up to find herself on a medium sized bed in a neat, 7 by 7 guest bedroom. As scared as she was, she managed to stand up on her feet and walked out of the room, hoping to find out where she was but she was surprised to see a passageway that led to a beautiful rustic style living room and then she realized she was actually in an apartment, but whose? She couldn't tell.As she walked into the living room, she saw a young man in a black and white suit walking out of another room with some files in his hand."Hey, you're finally awake." The blonde haired guy exclaimed as he smiled at Jessica but this only terrified her and she immediately had a flashback of the last time she was consciously crying beside Cruz's crashed car. She immediately remembered that this was the unknown man who had called her name earlier and then she assumed she was doomed. 'This man must be among those men who mocked me yesterday. Oh no! He must think I'm a sex worker after seeing those pictures on W
"His head is bleeding. I think his head injury has reopened." Jessica panicked as she covered Cruz's bleeding head with her palm. "The doctor advised he shouldn't move about or be worried but he just wouldn't listen especially after he saw your condition last night." Dave complained worriedly as he brought out his phone and dialed the doctor's number. "Please get here as soon as possible! Cruz's wound reopened." He reported and afterwards, ended the call. "Don't you think we should take him to a hospital? Even if the doctor is good, there is some equipment that just can't be moved about." Jessica complained. "What do you think this place is? Here is no less than a hospital, the only delay here is because the only Doctor in the house is sick." Dave explained to Jessica's surprise. Jessica didn't really understand what she meant because she could barely see any medical apparatus here. "Where is the equipment? Get me some gauze. A lot of it." She ordered but Dave looked around,
"Dr. Westham didn't put me up for anything, in fact he will he be very mad at me for telling you the truth." Dave defended his boss. "And what do you say it's the truth?" Cade asked, still not ready to believe him. "Dr. Westham didn't upload those demeaning pictures of Ms Vegas. It did clear your pictures from the internet but it was purely coincidental. I thought if everyone misunderstood him, you shouldn't. That's why I'm telling you this." Dave explained and attempted to leave the room but Cade, who still can't believe him stopped him. "Seriously? Are you also going to lie to my face? Even when I overheard his conversation with you, a night before the pictures went viral? I was also the first to read your text to him the next morning and when I logged in to brother's WeCom, I was shocked and disappointed beyond words by what I saw. I know you're loyal to him but don't try to mend our relationship with a lie." Cade warned as he walked towards the big window on the left side of h
"No Cade. You can't take care of him by yourself. It's not proper and…""So? Are you going to take care of him?" Tyler interrupted angrily. After her relationship with Cruz crashed, Tyler didn't want her to have anything to do with him again. "Tyler, please calm down. I'm not planning to. Leah has been by herself since yesterday and I can't leave her alone any longer but we can't ask Cade to look after his brother. Maybe one of you should stay." Jessica suggested. "I already told you I'm not some kid that needs to be taken care of. I am absolutely fine and I'm not planning on accommodating anyone else in my house. I've been here for two weeks and nothing and as you can see, I am recovering well." Cruz declared even though he knew his last statement was a lie.Jason and Daniel knew their last hope was Jessica but they also know that even if Jessica agrees, Tyler won't agree with them."Tyler, can we talk privately?" Jason suggested after whispering his plans to Daniel.With much hes
"To babysit you! Remember the first time I had to babysit Cade, now is your turn." Jessica replied, purposely provoking Cruz. "B-baby-sit? What? Do you think I'm some baby or what? I already said you could leave. Why are you here and why are you…?" Cruz paused as he joined his legs tightly together, trying to hold back the wee in his manhood as it was becoming harder for him to keep to himself. Jessica noticed this and tried to help him untie the rope on his joggers but as Jessica stretched her hands towards him, he tried to dodge her by jumping backward but he slipped and almost fell to the ground if not for Jessica who quickly came to his aid and supported him to his feet but this only made Cruz more embarrassed and angered. "You are not a kid but your friends couldn't leave in peace until I agreed to stay back. I know accepting my help will only hurt your ego but you will have to accept it to prevent so many people from worrying about you." Jessica explained but Cruz couldn't pa
