Chapter 103 – He Was Him

Author: SUMMERS
last update Last Updated: 2023-09-17 19:53:12
(Jessamine’s POV)

The woman before me was an embodiment of a goddess only in a summer dress. She must be a model… or maybe a celebrity I didn’t know. She was strikingly beautiful, gently raising her hand to free the black hair her daughter clutched. I assumed the baby was hers because, aside from wearing matching dresses, the child looked like a mini version of the woman holding her.

If I were not feeling threatened, I would love to utter a compliment, admiring them and thinking of buying matching clothes for Kyle and Aiden. Yet the words remained inside me, hiding somewhere in my brain while wondering why I felt terrorized when she was no one but a stranger.

“How could he like you? You’re so ordinary,” she snorted, sneering at me.

Ordinary? My eyebrows raised, thinking who the hell this woman was.

“I’m sorry?” I narrowed my eyes as I tried to remember if we knew each other. “Do I know you?”

Instead of answering me, she pursed her lips, sighing as she looked at me from head to to

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Him?”I scoffed in disbelief, slowly shaking my head. “Stop bluffing, James.”A brief scornful laugh escaped my mouth, shaking my head and snorting. James must be lying. He must have known about Kyle and wanted to flee from his responsibilities. I wanted to scream at him that it was not my intention, so he should stop making up stories about my best friend. How can it happen when Aiden is not Adam? He is a look-alike… or, just like my joke, Aiden was Adam’s doppelganger.Aiden could not be there that night. He was on the plane, nervously traveling alone to see me after almost ten years.“Bluffing?” James snorted, raising his eyebrows. “Jessamine, I almost lost everything, okay?”His Adam’s apple moved as he glanced at Aiden again. He leaned forward, afraid somebody would hear him. He paused and sighed deeply.“I’m really sorry for what I did. I admit I had been following you that night and got desperate. When I had my chance, I lied to my cousin and…” he squeezed hi

    (Aiden’s POV)“Son, let’s talk,” Dad said, grabbing my arm when I tried to follow Jessamine and my son.I blinked the tears away, meeting Theodore Knight’s eyes. He lifted his brows, not uttering a word. Instead, he nudged his head, pointing at the apartment’s small living room. He released my arm, walked calmly, and sat on the single sofa.“What are you doing here?” I gritted my teeth, sitting on the loveseat, but my eyes were pinned on the bedroom door.“She’s not going anywhere, Adam,” he glanced at the door, then returned his gaze to me.I believed him. I was sure he would do anything in his power to make Jessamine stay, and not because he wanted her for me, but because of his grandson. When Kyle was born, I was ecstatic about finally having my heir. Although I never considered following this stupid Knight’s tradition, I could not deny the pride of having a son the first time I held him in my arms.“Why are you here?” I asked again, clenching my fists.He scoffed. “Why are you her

    (Aiden’s POV)Will and Jeanne were included in the list of my father’s best bodyguards, and being Theodore Knight’s only son, their job was to keep me safe 24/7. For the past ten years, they never failed to protect me. I could not even escape on their watch.When Kyle was born, I told them I was no longer their primary concern but my son. They understood the task as they knew how important Kyle was to me as I was to my father. Today, although Will said Jeanne was following the taxi, my confidence in their abilities waned.“What do you mean you saw her getting into a taxi?” My heart battered in my chest as I dashed toward the bedroom.As if my world collapsed, my legs wobbled, and my body shivered in fear, seeing an empty bedroom. Not even Charlie was there to alert me that they would leave. I had to think faster, not wanting Jessamine to go through emotional despair. She had just given birth. And since yesterday, I did nothing but cause her too much pain, and the best thing she needed

    (Aiden’s POV)“Argh!”I groaned; the throbbing pain in my jaw and around my eye pulled me out of unconsciousness. They said you would see stars or time would stop, making you see everything around you in seconds, but that did not happen to me.Everything went dark.I squeezed my eyes shut when everything seemed blurry and slowly opened them again. I moaned, squinting, wondering where I was and recollecting what happened. Even though I had been an asshole around women in the past… that was if I had been… no one dared hurt me because women liked my company, and I was heavily guarded. No one messes with Adam Knight, and I didn’t need to do that since I was treated royalty wherever I went. “Argh!” I tried to get up, but Colleen sat on the couch, pushing me back.“Here! I don’t want you to think we’re irresponsible like you.” Colleen frowned deeply, shoving the ice pack on my cheek.“Ouch!” I snarled quietly, snatching the cold compress from her.As if it was an automatic response, Will

    (Aiden’s POV)“I don’t ever want to know him.”I never realized how sharp those words were until I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks. My heart cried in extreme pain, realizing my best friend had disowned me. Jessamine did not look at me again. As if I did not exist, she walked toward her mother, took our son from her after Benedict cleaned her wound, and sat on her old bed. She kissed his tiny hand and murmured she was sorry that his father was dead.“Mr. Knight,” Will said, his voice apologetic as he called me.“What?” I asked without looking at him.“Your father called, asking you to return home,” he informed me in his low voice as if they could not hear him.Sonia flickered her eyes on my bodyguard but kept her lips pressed. She turned her back and talked to Benedict quietly. Benjamin had always been on my side, but like his wife, he was quiet and stared sadly at her daughter. Unexpectedly, it was Colleen who approached me, anchoring her arm on mine and tugging me out of her si

    (Aiden’s POV)“I can’t talk right now, Xavier,” I muttered, almost in a hushed tone.My eyes flickered on Aaron and Sasha, who were eyeing me curiously. I sighed and leaned my head on the backrest, squeezing my eyes shut as I wondered whether I should ask Sasha to call our lawyer. “If that’s what Jessamine wants…”I sighed, thinking hard. What does Jessamine want? Doesn’t she want to hear my side? Will she ever forgive me? But what do I want? I breathed again, unsure of what I wanted at the moment. More questions popped into my mind, making me dizzy and hurting as it still led to one thing – I lied and took advantage of my best friend. “Let’s talk as soon as I return. I had a meeting in a minute,” Xavier said and paused.I am sure he is waiting for me to say more, but as soon as he returns from his business trip and visits Jessamine, he will know everything. Knowing Xavier as a protective friend and more like a brother to Jessamine, he will not let this pass and would never help m

    (Aiden’s POV) “You?” Aaron’s brows clumped together. His mouth half-opened, and it took a while before words came out. “You did… What?”“I told you already. I assaulted -”He groaned, shaking his head as if he did not understand what I said.“I heard that part, Adam.” Aaron stood up and stepped toward my table. “What I don’t understand is how it happened.”Aaron arched his eyebrows and crossed his arms to his chest while waiting for my answer.My pressed lips twitched, unsure of other ways to explain what happened without going through the details. I didn’t want to put Jessamine in a problematic situation because she was drunk and drugged that night. I was supposed to be the hero, her Knight in shining armor, saving her from James.I opened my mouth but closed it again when the door opened. Sasha entered the room quietly, placing the coffee cups on the table, but seeing me shutting my mouth drew skepticism to her face. She glanced at me, then at her husband, who pressed his lips tigh

    (Jessamine’s POV) I stared out the window, wondering what time it was. Earlier, Dad mentioned fixing the lights in the backyard. At first, it confused me, wanting to ask what was wrong with the lights, but as the sun was about to set, the dark backyard garden greeted me.Colleen said my bedroom had the best view, overlooking what I called an overemphasized backyard garden. Whenever I opened the curtain, I could see the colorful flowering plants and shrubs invading the backyard with pink, white, yellow, and red colors and the tree house where Aiden and I used to play.I used to love the sight of it, and as the dark ate the garden view, my heart ached, crying in silence and wishing Aiden had not returned home. I would not have lost my best friend.When Aiden lost consciousness after Benedict hit him, my heart faltered, and I panicked when he did not wake up. My instinct was to rush to him, but Charlie’s bark reminded me of what he had done, stopping me from running to his side. The fam

    (Aiden’s POV) Two years later… “Go!” Deborah chuckled and gestured her hand, telling me it was okay to leave. “We’ll bring Kyle to the hospital later,” she promised. I nodded, picking up the bag Jessamine and I prepared last night. I walked toward the couch, kissed my son, sleeping soundly on the seat, and patted Charlie’s head. He wagged his tail but didn’t bother to follow me. Kyle and Xyla had become his new best friends. Wherever they were, he would be there. Xavier brought Deborah and their daughter, Xyla, last night when Jessamine told them she was in labor. I didn’t know if it was because Jessamine was carrying our second child that everyone seemed relaxed. Only I was panicking, unsure what to bring or how to take my wife to the hospital. “We have a driver, Aiden. Why are you panicking?” Jessamine asked calmly last night as she climbed the bed. Benedict and Xavier raised the same question. Perhaps it was not the reason why my heartbeat was pounding fast. I would love to h

    (Aiden’s POV) “I don’t know, Aiden,” Jessamine murmured sadly. “You love lying to me.”I shook my head and lifted my hand, gently wiping the tears on her cheeks. “I was honest when I told you I broke up with every girlfriend I had in the past, including my engagement to Naomi. Our dads set our marriage up, not me.”If I had to choose freely whom I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, Naomi would never be on my list. She was part of my rebellion, which I regretted when she got pregnant.“Eliza,” The tears streamed down my face as I struggled to speak through the lump in my throat.My heart ached for the little one when I heard her call Jessamine ‘momma’. Eliza didn’t deserve a mother like Naomi. I opened my mouth to explain but closed it again. “You named her after your grandma’s name,” she said.I shook my head. “She named her after my grandma’s name. Not me,” I corrected.If only Jessamine knew how we fought that day but gave in because Naomi was still weak in the hospital.“

    (Jessamine’s POV) “Ha! Ha!” I raised my eyebrows and glared at Aiden. “You know what? It’s too late for that. Whatever you want to say, I don’t care.”I could walk away, but I didn’t move.“Jess, please,” Aiden begged.“Fine! Go ahead with your confession. Let’s get this over with. I just want to go home.”Yet, it would be my biggest lie. For almost a month of staying here in Adilene’s, I knew I was home. Leaving here would scar my heart. Forgetting Aiden would be hell. However, he is getting married, and I don’t want to be the best friend in his love story who hinders his happiness. My sarcasm didn't appear to bother Aiden. He inhaled deeply and fixed his gaze on me. It was for a while, then he turned around, pointing at the lake.“On the other side of the lake is St. Rose Property. I bought it and opened a new business there, a law firm, and I invited Xavier to head the company,” he said, ignoring what I said. He turned to me, blinking once while waiting for my answer.I opened my

    (Jessamine’s POV) Awkward? Yes. Angry? No. Maybe.I stood on the porch, staring at Aiden as he kissed our son. He took him from my arms, and my trusting son didn’t even cry. My baby continued to babble ‘Ba-ba’ba’, and guess what? Everyone found it adorable. “Yes, he’s Dada!” Mom muttered excitedly, not considering the feeling of her hurt daughter.I was invincible to Sasha and Aaron. I wanted to scream that it wasn’t their house, but they greeted Deborah and my mom, said something nice to Kyle, and eagerly went inside when my friend invited them for a coffee. They should have at least waited for me, and then I pouted, remembering it wasn’t mine either.Aiden turned to my mother. “Is it okay if I talk to Jessamine alone?”“Of course,” she muttered. “You have all day,” she chuckled with her joke.I opened my mouth, wanting to protest, but I closed it again because it was also the same thing I wanted. Deborah was right. Every time he returned, something happened. He would sweep me of

  • Confession of My Untamed Best Friend   Chapter 144 – I Was Right, I Was Wrong

    (Jessamine’s POV) I inhaled to smell the sweet scent of fresh air in Adilene’s from the porch, but instead, I caught the whiff of the aroma of the coffee bean Mom was grinding from her hand-cranked grinder. I glanced at the crib, checking on Kyle. A while ago, he played with his toes, putting them in his mouth. Perhaps he thought of them as built-in toys. This time, he rolled over, reaching the tail of the giraffe stuffed toy.Kyle just turned four months, but he could do many things—normal baby stuff. He could bear weight on his legs when sitting upright, rolling over, grabbing toys or Charlie’s fur, and babbling a combo of vowel and consonant letters. When I asked him something, and he didn’t cry, it was up to me to decide what it meant. Deborah and my mom thought differently. My friend bet that when Kyle reached the age of six months, he could count numbers and recite the alphabet. Mom proudly told her he was probably like me, a history of my life she now loved to retell.‘Jess

    (Jessamine’s POV) I caught Aiden wincing when I hissed, cringing as Colleen pressed her finger on my scalp. My sister must be waiting for us to be alone. I knew that my crying didn’t help, but she would understand why I wailed like a baby on the staircase. I would explain everything to her later.Colleen sighed and turned to Aiden.“Don’t worry, Aiden. She’ll live. Long enough that the two of you will probably see your ten to fifteen great-grandchildren, in case you get back together,” she muttered jokingly instead of giving him her prognosis of my condition.“When did you become a fortune teller?” I arched my head to see her face.Colleen shrugged and grinned. “It’s one of my many talents, you know,” she said, turning around and walking toward the crib. “Want to see the garden, Kyle? Let’s give mommy and daddy some privacy. What do you think?” she asked gently, scooping my son from the crib.As if it was Aiden’s cue, he held the door open and closed it gently as soon as my sister an

    (Aiden’s POV) My heart was still racing, and my breaths came in ragged gasps after sprinting all the way from the driveway to reach Jessamine. My body was still buzzing with adrenaline, but when I saw her crying, I was like sucked into a vortex, returning me to the first time I saw my best friend.I was nine years old again for a split second, seeing a cute little girl in a braided pigtail, curled up in the swing, holding the same math book I had in her arms. At first, I thought she was hurt, but when I approached her, she was perfectly okay and told me, between hiccupping and crying, that she didn’t know how to answer her homework.Of course, she couldn’t. I doubted if she could even read the sentences in the book. She must be five or six years old. She should be in the preschool building, enjoying learning the alphabet or numbers instead of worrying about the word problems in the book.What was a little girl doing in front of the classroom of the third-grade class? She must have mi

    (Jessamine’s POV) I reached for the doorknob, but before I could grasp the exquisitely crafted knob, I clenched my hand and immediately concealed it behind me as if opening the door was a sin. I was reluctant to leave the bedroom for a few reasons, but Anne informed me that Susan was waiting for me in the family room and wanted to speak with me.If only there were another way to the staircase without passing Naomi’s bedroom.“She went out to see her doctor,” Anne muttered.“Huh?” I turned around, lifting a brow, pretending not to understand what she said.Anne’s lips curved into a shy smile. “If you were worried about seeing Ms. Naomi outside, she left to see her doctor,” she said, repeating the message, perhaps thinking I didn’t hear her the first time.“Ah,” I chuckled and sighed in relief. “Thank you for telling me, Anne. I don’t want to have part two of our encounter in the garden,” I joked. Partly.She laughed briefly. “Don’t worry about Kyle. I’ll ask someone to get you if he c

    (Jessamine’s POV) “Ouch!” I winced when Aiden pressed his finger on my scalp.It was a light touch, but the tingling on my scalp worried me that I would go home bald or I might be wearing a wig on my wedding day. Maybe my hair would have grown an inch or two at that time. Still, I would feel bad. I imagined having my hair loosely braided vertically and horizontally on that big day, but after what happened, I should think of another hairstyle.Aiden clucked his tongue, sighed, and sat on the edge of the bed, turning the chair I was sitting on to face him. I was still mad at him, but sometimes I tend to forget whenever I get stunned by his gorgeous face. I hissed, cursing inwardly and lowering my head to avoid his gaze.“Does it hurt?” He asked worriedly, lifting my chin to meet his eyes. “Tell me, Jess.” When I didn’t answer, he continued, “I’m bringing you to the hospital now.”I squinted, shaking my head. “I’m okay. This is nothing serious. Why don’t you check on Naomi?”He scoffed,
