Jessica tried to push Cruz's hands off gently but he was too strong for her. "What do you think I'm doing here? Obviously stalking you!" Cruz replied confidently, provoking Klaus to break the steel fork he was holding. "Cruz, get your hand off me and get out of here. Stop causing a scene here!" Jessica advised but Cruz didn't come all the way here just to leave so early. Cruz happened to be having a meal in the next room with the health workers but Jessica's never-ending laughter drew his attention and as soon as the health workers were gone, he decided to crash in. "Is that what you think? Am I really causing a scene? Too bad, because I just arrived and I'm not planning to leave until you are also leaving." Cruz replied, and this time, Klaus totally lost his cool as he angrily stood up to his feet and banged his hand on the table. "CRUZ WESTHAM!" He called out angrily, his eyes burning red. "YES! THAT'S MY NAME!" Cruz yelled back at him as he also stood up to his feet, scaring
"It's nothing you should…" "Don't give me that. What did he do this time?" Leah interrupted Jessica who was trying to cover up what happened. "I don't like talking about him with you because I feel his name might be traumatizing for you two." Jessica let out her concerns. "Traumatizing? Why? What do you mean by that?" Tyler wondered, while Leah stared curiously. "After what he pulled at your wedding, I still can't get it off my mind that's why…" "You're still in that wedding saga? You also don't know the whole truth? No wonder you barely start or engage in any topic that involves him." Leah sighed in disbelief. "Whole truth? What do you mean?" Jessica asked curiously. Leah and Tyler took their time to explain everything about Dylan Jones to her and also how they found out about him uploading that video. "So, what you are trying to say in essence is that Cruz wasn't the perpetrator?" Jessica asked once more. "Yes. In fact, he knows nothing about it. He was even the on
"Cruz! We were having a good time, please let's not ruin it for something so trivial." Mrs. Roberts intervened. "No, big mommy. The good time has already been ruined. I guess the new…'Intern' is so special to him and he is making it obvious that my opinion doesn't matter. I'm sorry for being so nosy." Dr. Campbell lashed at him before attempting to leave the office but Cruz caught her arm and pulled her back. "You don't have to be so upset. I'm sorry?" Cruz apologized and stared pitifully into her eyes until she fell for it and sluggishly sat back. "You don't have to worry about Jessica because she is only staying here for a month." Cruz explained. Though Valeria wasn't okay with the explanation, she had to let it be so as not to make her jealousness too obvious. "I invited you both in for coffee and cookies, right? So let's have that before leaving." Cruz suggested as he went to the refrigerator in his office and brought out a packet of cookies before going to make some coffee i
"W-what?" Jessica exclaimed with trembling lips. "See? You can't do it. I knew it." Cruz sighed. "How could you ask something so absurd from me? I thought you were…" "Absurd? Yeah, it might be quite absurd to you but it's not for me. Let me tell you a secret." Cruz mentioned, looking back and forth to confirm they were alone. "It's been months since I last had sex. Can you believe that? Even I still can't believe it. But don't misunderstand me again, it's not like I don't have anyone to fuck, it's just that…it's not so fun anymore. And you know why?" Cruz asked, hoping to get a response from Jessica but even though her stares were filled with curiosity, she didn't mouth a reply. "It's because of you, Jessica." He announced and Jessica's eyes widened in shock. "Me? How is it…" "Because you're the first woman to reject me! I hate rejections and mostly, defeat and because I've not been able to fuck you, it is taking a toll on me. And until I fuck you, I won't be able to enjoy sex
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN"I…am…" Cruz's stutter was interrupted by the ringing of his phone and he felt relieved as he answered it with a smile. "Hey, man. I'm inviting you for a men's night out today, are you free Tonight?" Tyler asked as soon as Cruz answered the call. Cruz loved the idea and didn't hesitate to reply. "Definitely! Because of the heavy workload, I am currently bored out of my mind and that would be a perfect getaway but I hope that annoying bit…I mean your wife. I hope she wouldn't…" "Don't worry, she won't cause any trouble for you or us. So just get your ass home early and meet us at the bar in Hotel S." Tyler instructed after which Cruz ended the call after giving a favourable response."Doc, I will take my leave…" "What about the answer to my question?" Dr. Logan asked curiously. "I…you said I could sleep over it, right? I will get back to you in our next session, I'm quite busy today." Cruz suggested, using his plans as an excuse to avoid the fact t
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN"Cruz, what has come over you that you didn't even realize you broke your tumbler?" Justin wondered. 'Oh, I did?' Cruz thought to himself as he looked back to see the broken tumbler. "Are you being so provoked because of Jessica? Because you know she is with another man? Are you that jealous of Klaus?" Tyler asked curiously but before Cruz could defend himself, Micheal spoke up. "Cruz, have you fallen for her?" Micheal gasped. "What? What rubbish are you spewing right now? Just because I care about her doesn't mean I would fall…I can't even bring myself to say it. You know what? I don't care anymore. Just help me treat my wound. It's hurting." Cruz suggested, trying to change the topic. "Are you sure it's hurting because you're still clenching that palm as we speak?" Daniel replied, drawing Cruz's attention to his tightened grip which he quickly released. "I…I was just trying to stop the blood flow. Are you getting the first aid kit or should I g
"Get your hands off me!" Tyler scolded angrily, forcefully freeing himself from Cruz's grip. "Even if you change your mind now, I will never support you!" He added as he knew exactly what Cruz was going to say. "Change my mind? You must be out of your mind!" Cruz laughed hysterically though everyone knew his laughter was insincere. "I will never do that but…don't instigate her into doing anything against her wish. No one has the right to force anyone on her. So just let her make her choice." Cruz explained, hoping that Tyler would drop the idea of pitching Klaus to Jessica. "You always try your best to protect Cade, right? That's exactly what I'm doing for Jessica. So even if everyone else doesn't understand me, I suppose you should." Tyler explained, pricking into Cruz's guilty conscience. "Good night." He greeted them for the last time before walking out on them. "Woah! That was a whole lot of drama for just one night!" Daniel exclaimed a few minutes after Tyler left the gathe
"Jessica, you might be mistaken but I'm not in a heated conversation. I was just making Cruz understand that he was interrupting your rest." Klaus explained, and fortunately, Jessica believed him. "Cruz? Why did you answer his call? He will only spew rubbish and ruin one's mood. That's why I ignored his call all this time." Jessica retorted and Cruz, who was still on the phone, couldn't conceal his anger anymore. "Calm down, Jessica. You should rest some more. I will let him know your stand and end the call." Klaus suggested and Jessica's voice died down, allowing Cruz and Klaus to continue their conversation."You heard her, right? Stay away!" Klaus warned and without another word, Cruz ended the call and sent his phone crashing on the floor. "Who does he think he is?" He yelled, standing up to his feet. "It's not his fault anyway! It's all her fault! How could she change sides so easily?" He howled, pushing everything on his center table away and causing a loud crash that everyo
