"Don't be so tensed Jessica, just think about the question and give me an honest answer." Cruz suggested, provoking Jessica even more. "Can you stop spewing rubbish? Why would you ever think of something like that?" Jessica bellowed furiously. Cruz was beginning to notice that Jessica was getting really hyperactive about the conversation and he decided to put an end to it. He sat up on the bed and pulled her to seat right next to him. "You don't have to be so tensed and restless about whatever I had said. It was just a harmless thought which I decided to…" "Harmless?" Jessica asked as she jumped back up to her feet. "This could ruin someone's entire life. I know you don't give importance to such auspicious occasions but you also shouldn't jinx them. The wedding has been scheduled to happen and it will happen for sure because unlike you, Tyler has a heart that loves only Leah and unlike me, Leah is lucky to have such a man. If your life is miserable, you shouldn't try to make eve
Jessica couldn't take her eyes off him neither could she utter a word and this made Cruz realize that he still had a lot of work to do in convincing her because silence is not always an answer, especially in this situation. "You're 27 and I'm guessing you've had quite a number of s*x in your life. Looking at your personality, you must have also had a number of break ups. I can assume that not all the sexs you had was from your boyfriends. There must have been a number of night stands with no strings attached. I just want tonight to be like that too. We can go back to our daily lives by tomorrow. No strings attached!" He explained further. His words were so convincing with a few of his assumptions being true because even though she'd have a number of break ups, she haven't had a single sex in her life. In fact, her choice to remain a virgin is the main reason she suffered those heart breaks. "N-No Strings attached!" She confirmed as she shut her eyes and raised her chin, getting h
Cruz wore back his pants and stood up to his feet, his head dropped in embarrassment. "Tyler, how did you know we were…" "Jessica, get dressed and get the fuck out this minute." Tyler instructed angrily before banging the door behind them. Jessica wished the bed would just open up and swallow her but that stunt ain't happening so she remained under the blanket until she noticed Cruz dress up and leave the room. She sat up on the bed, her face went pale with embarrassment and then she remembered she wasn't supposed to be caught here. "Fuck! How did things end up like this? Jessica you're so stupid!" All the pleasure and urge Cruz took his time to build up was turned into embarrassment and regret in seconds. "Oh God! I shouldn't have done this…especially not tonight. Leah would be so mad!" She panicked as she hurriedly wore her dress. "I need to talk to Tyler, he mustn't tell this to Leah no matter what!" She concluded as rolled up her hair and wore her cap again. With
Local magnolia greenery and hydrangea, along with pepper berries were used to create arrangements and an arch that evoked the season and also perfectly fit the natural scenery of the gigantic garden of the Bryant's mansion. The whole garden was filled with good and rich looking guest who watched the bride and groom as they stood on the 4 ft high podium, preparing to take their vows. Leah who has always been a huge fan short dress had to put her wedding dress but to throw a hint of her likings, the V-slit on her white trumpet gown ran all the way up to her thigh, exposing a good part of her thigh. The upper part of the sleeveless gown was halfed with one part designed with pure crystal and the other was designed with the white lace of the gown. Her hair was arranged in a short waterfall braid and a beautiful crystal tiara rested on it. Tyler on the other hand rocked his light blue tuxedo perfectly well with a beautiful boutonnières on the left pocket of his tuxedo and a brown wh
The peaceful wedding scenery turned into more chaos as everyone panicked at the sight of Jessica's current condition. With the help of Micheal and Daniel, Cruz immediately lifted Jessica in bridal style and ran to his car before they drove off to the nearest hospital. Back at the wedding venue, Tyler's mom got a whiff of the situation and employed the help of Jason and Justin to clean the scene and also calm the worried guests who were ready to leave the wedding as it wasn't the type of occasion they expected. Mrs. Bryant also instructed Jason to inform the guest that the wedding will go as planned and even though Jason was confused and unsure of how true this piece of information might be, he decided to do his duty as the best man. He climbed the podium once again and began his speech. "Thanks for staying behind despite the unexpected turn of events. This drama wasn't on our event list but so far, it has played with our emotions. I just want to inform you that this wedding i
"She couldn't watch you be happy even after all the commotion she caused at your wedding so she left." Mrs. Elizabeth Bryant replied before Jason could even speak up, her words piercing her heart. "Mom, please!" Tyler called out, not happy with the way his mom portrayed Jessica in front of him. "I'm just being sincere. I don't know how you managed to keep such a friend. Now that you are married I think you should shuffle your friend list." Mrs. Bryant added. "Leah, let's go in. We're running late." Tyler said and Leah put on a fake smile as she turned around and entered the helicopter with Tyler following her in. The helicopter flew off in a few minutes and even though it was already very late, there were still a number of activities to be done and the family still had a party planned for the night. Jason returned to the garden where celebrations were still ongoing and slumped into one of the empty chairs, tired and stressed out but when his eyes caught Michael, worry was added t
"I was there but I had an important business call. I was advising Mr. Khalifa on the measures to take after his heart surgery. I had earbuds on and I was on a video call so I had no touch with reality until I fortunately saw Jessica about to fall off." Cruz explained. "What? So you have no idea what happened?" Jason questioned. "Yes, just tell me what the fuck happened!" Cruz yelled. "If you're bent on pretending not to know what happened, then I might as well tell you! The video which you and Jessica recorded as she disclosed Leah's secret affair to you. And you aired it on Tyler's wedding just to ruin his wedding, but unfortunately for you and fortunately for us, they were too in love that they don't keep any secret from each other and they were able to save their relationship and marriage today!" Mrs. Bryant explained with so much hate in her voice. Cruz shut his eyes briefly and had a quick flashback of the previous night. FLASHBACKAfter Cruz forced Jessica to stop drinking.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXCruz immediately ran back to the terminal gate to meet the security guards who seemed to be talking discreetly that got Cruz suspicious."What the fuck is going on here?" He asked angrily but they feigned ignorance. "What do you mean, Sir?" The security guard asked. "How can Jessica's name not be mentioned in that list when her phone is right here?" Jessica asked curiously. "What do you mean by that?" The security guard asked curiously. "Please, stop feigning ignorance with me. If any of you know something, please just tell me. I need to find her. Like I said, she escaped from the hospital." Cruz explained almost in tears. The second security card looked at his superior for a while before looking back at Cruz. "I think I saw someone who looked sickly and injured today. She had a bandage around her head. Could she be the one?" The guard asked. "She could be the one. Can you recognize her? I could show you a picture." Cruz suggested and the guard nodded in affi
