"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
Jessica didn’t give Cruz any response as she stared into her phone and Cruz became even more worried and curious as he couldn’t determine whether the shock was good or bad news. “Jessica, what’s up with you?” He asked once more. “I’m… I’m good!” She finally replied but her eyes were still glued to her phone. ‘Why was I so elated when it’s just a summon?’ She wondered as she heaved a sigh as she turned off the lights of her phone and relaxed her back on the car seat, her eyes shut. “What was that about?” Cruz asked out of concern but Jessica wasn’t in the mood to talk with him.“It’s nothing you should bother yourself about. I’m fine.” She lied, not opening her eyes.Cruz knew it was a lie but she understood she didn’t want to share it with anyone, especially not him so he decided to respect her decision and remained mute once again. In a few minutes, they arrived at The One Estate and once she dropped her at home, he returned home. After settling in, Jessica rested on her bed an
“Sir…Ummm…I…I had an…accident…and…broke my arm.” Jessica stuttered in fear of losing her chance of returning to school.“What?” Mr. Logan yelled in horror as he stood up to his feet and grabbed her hand gently and inspected it. grabbed her arm gently.“And you’re wearing a long sleeve? What is your problem?" He asked angrily, leaving Jessica speechless and confused. Mr. Logan quickly rolled up her sleeve and freed her arm. "You should leave your arm like this and allow some ventilation. It will not heal on time if you keep it stuffed like this." He advised while Jessica just kept staring at him. "Thank you, sir." She finally spoke up, bowing her head lightly. "Did you come in a car or did you board a taxi?" He asked thoughtfully. "Someone is waiting to take me home." She replied."Oh! That's good. I will get security to help you take the file downstairs." He suggested. "No! That's not necessary at all. I can hold it just fine." Jessica replied and with much hesitation, he handed
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED."I gave an order and you defiled it but you still don't get it? I asked you to go to the three hospitals, and you went to two and concluded that you will receive the same information as the third one. Did you go to the third one and were rejected?" Mr. Logan asked angrily. "Sir…but it's…" She was still talking when Mr. Logan hung up on him. 'Fuck…' She mumbled as she hit her hand on the car door before entering the car. "He wants me to get embarrassed again, so I will go there and get the same rejection news." She mumbled inaudibly. "Did you say something?" The chauffeur asked curiously. "Please take me to Westham Pharmaceutical." She replied. "After going through circles, we're finally going to the right place." The chauffeur remarked, provoking Jessica who knew she was going to be rejected.After almost an hour, the chauffeur stopped in front of Westham Pharmaceutical. "Wish you good luck!" The chauffeur said but Jessica just shook her head and walked in
"We don't have to meet for us to have a grudge against you. I mean, there is an online community where we all meet and form alliances or grudges." The first maid remarked and immediately, Jessica realized they were only trying to bully her because of her brief relationship with Cruz. "And don't think we are the only ones holding grudges against you, there are a lot of ladies…" "Point of correction, it is not 'ladies' but 'shameless ladies' with no self-respect or esteem. Next time you plan to stop me, think of a better reason and stop disgracing yourself." Jessica reprimanded while the ladies just dropped their heads in embarrassment and anger. Next thing, she shoved them aside and attempted to go into the elevator once again but someone else stopped her. "Hey, Ms. Vegas!" A lady whom Jessica recognized as a staff member from Royal High and one of the interns greeted her. "How are you doing, Ms. Manning, do you also work here?" Jessica asked curiously. "I'm doing good. I heard y
