In a few minutes, Cade was now seated at the rear seat of the cab and was finally free from the fear of getting caught and also from those loud girls. "It is so nice to be handsome. Those girls' destination was actually farther than yours but they left the cab for you just for clicking a picture with them." The Cab driver said and even though Cade heard him clearly, his mind was too far away to give a response immediately. The cab driver honked his car just to get Cade's attention and this only provoked him. "And so? What do you want me to say? It's not my brother's fault! It is all their fault! They have made themselves so cheap that it becomes so hard to identify the decent ones and…" Cade's voice trailed off as the Cab driver stared awkwardly at him through the mirror. Cade sighed and looked away as he quickly wiped out the tears that were smearing his cheeks. ★★★★★ Jessica didn't go straight home after the heartbreaking conversation she overheard; rather , she went to the
"Lora! What do you think you're doing?" Cruz who was still standing on the stairs yelled at the lady who was drinking a glass of milk in front of the refrigerator in the living room "Come on, Cruz! You drained me out last night, I'm just drinking a glass of milk to replenish…" "I have no business with your drink but why are you not wearing anything? What if my brother saw you like this?" He asked with bloodshot eyes as he flung her dress towards her. Lora Moore is a star pianist and obviously one of Cruz's numerous girlfriends. She didn't really consider being in her lingerie as naked but she was in Cruz's house and had to follow his rules. "Ok, I'm sorry. Cade will be an adult soon then he will be able to make choices for himself. I'm sure he'd also love the things you…" "Don't ever speak of my brother like that!" Cruz interrupted with a scream before he quickly looked back to see if Cade wasn't out yet. Lora quietly wore her dress as she didn't want to have any confrontati
"Come online and check it out yourself." Daniel replied and afterward ended the call. Cruz's palm immediately became sweaty as he feared the worst and with much hesitation, he scrolled through the internet and saw different articles with Cade in the middle of three ladies and also a few other pictures where he was either alone or with each of the girls. People were basically of the idea that he would be a better Playboy than his brother if he already had three girlfriends at this stage. It turned out that those girls casually posted Cade's picture online, fantasizing his good looks but the picture went viral when someone identified him as Cade Westham and since then, it's been trending and many modeling agencies were already hunting for him. Cade has never wanted the limelight as he always hated what it had done to his brother and Cruz was well aware of this which is why he had always prevented him from the media. "F*ck!" He exclaimed and attempted to smash his phone on the gr
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to find Cade!" Cruz yelled at her. Leah had already texted Tyler to come over immediately Cruz and his guards went into their house and since then, she had been going through her phone when an article caught her attention and she hurried over to show Jessica. "Look at that! He is here looking for his brother while the boy is out there having fun with some girls." She added as she showed Jessica the pictures of Cade that were trending online. "Don't talk about my brother like that!" Cruz warned, pointing his finger at Leah but she was just starting to get revenge for her friend. "Or what? What will you do if I don't stop telling you the truth?" She asked but Cruz just scowled at her. "Well…it's not his fault, really. I mean, what did you expect from a kid living under such a corrupt adult. It's obvious you are related by blood because womanizing seems to be the blood running in your veins!" She snapped at him and this not only provoked Cruz
Jessica's heart stopped beating briefly on hearing Cade's question. She was so sure she'd never heard him talk this angrily but thinking about his situation at the moment, she agreed this was the least he could do. "Cade, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. If I had just listened to you and kept my promise, all this wouldn't have happened." Jessica accepted her fault but it seemed like Cade wasn't interested in that. "So? Does that change anything now? Everyone is talking about how I will be a much better Playboy than my brother. What will we do about that? Like I said, just pretend like we never met. If we meet in class on Monday, I will only be as normal as everyone else so don't expect more from me." Cade cautioned and before Jessica could say another word, he ended the call. Jessica continued grimacing in pain and even when Leah tried to get into her room, she refused to let her in and also refused to go outside for the rest of the day. Night came and she ended up sleeping off
Jessica was woken up early the next morning by a knock on her door, only then did she realize she had slept off on the floor. She frantically rubbed her palm against her face as she stood up to her feet and stretched her tired muscles before finally opening the door. "Jessica!" Leah exclaimed as she pulled her into a hug but Jessica just stood still not responding to her hug. "Wash up and come downstairs. You barely ate anything yesterday and you won't even let anyone into your room." She complained bitterly, stroking the back of Jessica's hair gently. Her stomach grumbled loudly and she pulled herself from the hug. "You're right. I'm starving." She finally spoke up. "I will wash up and be downstairs soon. I need all the energy I can get to face Cade in school on Monday." She added with a fake smile on her lips. "What? You're still worrying about that kid? I will advise you to avoid that family totally. That will…" "Are you going to let me wash up and eat or you're going t
"I'm not that cheap. I just called to check up on you. How are you taking the blow this time?" Frank mocked indirectly. "Just like I did when you tried to rape me and also defamed me online." She replied, biting her lower lip in a bid to suppress her anger but Frank laughed at her statement. "You've never given me a listening ear after the incident but do you seriously think I will stoop that low like your new boyfriend?" He asked, confusing Jessica. "I agree you're pretty which is why you will always get into trouble with men but I must say, Mr. Westham, played his game and scored pretty well too. You always act like some smart saint when you're just a dumb pretentious swore. It's such a shame you deprived me of sex just to give it free of charge to that player. Anyways, he was right and definitely kept his word." He ranted further which confused and angered Jessica even more. "What the f*ck are you talking about?" She asked curiously. "What do I have to gain by posting those
TWO DAYS LATEREven though it will be hard, Jessica decided to get ready and go to work like nothing happened. Even if she is going to get fired, she'd have to hear it from them. As she stepped into the staff room, rumors began but she decided to ignore them and greet them as usual. "Morning guys!" She greeted with a tight-lipped smile. "Hey, Jessica! You look stunning after this one-month holiday. Seems like Mr. Westham really took great care of you!" Miss Caleb exclaimed as she got up and walked towards her. "Obviously! Who could have imagined you will become the next Mrs. Westham?" Miss Willow mocked as she also joined them on Jessica's desk. "Miss Vegas, I thought you hated Cruz Westham a lot? And the incident with Cade too, how did things change suddenly?" Miss Caleb asked again. "Come on, Miss Caleb, didn't you know how much she and Cade became very close? Cade is a hard nut to crack and luckily she managed to do it. I'm so proud of you Jessica. You're a celebrity now!" Mi
