last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

(Aiden’s POV)

When Aaron stopped the car in front of the apartment, Sasha immediately got off to open the door for me. I had been trying to wake her up, but since I couldn’t, my last resort would be carrying her.

“She looked exhausted,” Sasha said as she took her backpack. “And this is all your fault.”

I sighed, scooping her carefully and carrying her in my arms. Before I could step on the porch, Deborah had opened the main door, gaping at us.

“Oh, my God, what happened to her?” Deborah panicked, opening the door wide for me.

“She’s just sleeping. I can’t wake her up,” I muttered, glancing at Sasha, giving her the cue to give Jessamine’s things to her housemate.

Deborah placed her palm on her chest, breathing in relief. “I thought something happened to her again,” she chuckled, taking the backpack from Sasha.

“Again?” Sasha raised her eyebrows.

“Yesterday, she hurt her foot,” she reminded her.

“Ah!” She chuckled softly, nodding as she understood what Deborah meant. “Aiden, we’re leavi

    (Aiden’s POV)“Oh, God! What happened?”My heart hammered, hurting my ribcage, when I saw Jessamine sitting on the floor, clutching the shower curtain and trying to reach the metal rod. Charlie beat me into rescuing Jessamine. The puppy ran toward her, biting the polyester fabric, but he could not get it because she was gripping the curtain hard. The dog barked again but exited the bathroom instead of trying to pull it away from her again.“Jess! Are you okay?” I asked, rushing toward her.Crouching on my knees, I made a quick check on her. Jessamine looked fine, but her body was shaking and gripping the fabric hard as if her life depended on it. I had to move each of her fingers to release her hold of the curtain, taking me a few seconds to take it from her.“Are you hurt? Tell me, Jess,” I asked worriedly, picking up the metal rod and placing it on the side. “Answer me… or at least, talk. You’re scaring me.”Jessamine chuckled weakly, nodding at me. “Is my shower curtain okay?”I

    (Jessamine’s POV)The excitement, fear, and happiness that jumbled together inside me skyrocketed my heart to my throat and catapulted my brain off my body. Who cares? I didn’t want to think. At this moment, my body had its own mind, only wanting Aiden to touch me… kiss me, be inside my core, and mark my territory as his.My heart pounded violently when I realized we had finally decided to cross the line. As Aiden crushed his lips on mine, kissing me ferociously and kneading my mounds aggressively, I knew this night would be long but glorious.I was as hungry as he was, not caring if our tongues were melting into each other. All I could think of was how delicious and delightful his kiss was that I could not help moaning in his mouth.“Aiden…” I panted, catching my breath when he broke our kiss.“Yeah?”I felt his lips curved into a smile when he planted a kiss on my neck. This man knew how to tease me, nibbling playfully on my skin as his hands played. I gasped, my fingernails digging

    (Jessamine’s POV) I arched my head backward, gasping as I saw Rick tying my hands against the metal headboard. My heart pounded hard, hurting my chest as I lost the excitement, replacing it with extreme fear and stress. “N-No!” I cried, writhing my hands to escape from the rope. My eyes were wide, horrified as I tried to break free from the familiar metal ornamental butterfly in the center of the headboard. “Jessamine.” It was Aiden calling me, but his voice seemed distant. “Aiden!” I cried, turning my head from side to side, hoping someone could explain why I was back in the dark bedroom. “Help! Aiden, help me.” My heart hammered, seeing Rick whistling toward the bed and tying my foot to the metal footboard. I squirmed, screaming when he caught my other foot and tied it, spreading my legs. “Help!” I cried, wriggling my body when he climbed on top of me. “Please, help me!” I wept, breaking down. I screamed in pain when he thrust his manhood into my core, pounding hard despite my

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Jessamine!”Aaron walked toward me, stopping… more like blocking me from entering the tunnel tent. The surprise across his face told me something was up. His lips curved into a smile, but his lips trembled like he was asking me why on earth I showed up.“Jess?” Sasha’s face flustered, blinking as she looked at me in confusion, then turned pale. “Paige?” She gasped, smiling nervously as she gaped at her. Only then I realized the confusion was not about me showing up unannounced.I turned around and saw a gorgeous woman standing behind me. Her high-heeled shoes made her taller than me, but I bet we would be the same height if she were not wearing them. She raised her eyebrows, looked at me from head to toe, then leered.I sneered when she walked past me, copying her, looking at her from head to toe. Her clothes didn’t need to lie. This Paige must have come from an affluent family.“Where’s Aiden?” Her eyes were on Sasha as she asked.“Umm…” Sasha, whom I had known to

    (Jessamine’s POV)Without my brother knowing, Charlie and I crashed at his apartment. Thinking he could fix my heart, I went to his place, waiting patiently, and while I cried my heart out, Charlie was also whimpering like he knew that Aiden and I had broken up… as best friends.The clicking sound from the doorknob made me jump, waking Charlie from his sleep on Benedict’s couch.“Finally!” I took my phone, glancing at the time, and groaned, seeing it was past midnight already. I stood up and walked to the main door, waiting for it to open.“Jesus Christ!” Benedict’s body jerked, startled when my brother saw me standing in the dark. His hand groped for the switch, turning on the lights.“Not even close.” I clucked my tongue and sighed. “You should have said either Mary or Magdalene. That would be acceptable,” I said, walking back to the couch. “Didn’t the great palace clock remind you it’s past midnight?”“I’m not Cinderella. I’m a doctor,” he answered, closing and locking the door. “H

    (Jessamine’s POV)Why was my birthday a big deal to everyone when I didn’t even care about it? Deborah kept pacing the living room, and if Charlie could talk, he would probably ask her to stop because she was making us dizzy. I tried to focus on my laptop’s screen, browsing and reading important emails from possible suppliers and applicants, and some were from Sasha. I read her emails but didn’t reply to any of her messages because I was still pissed and embarrassed the last time we met.“Are you sure you’re okay to be alone today?” Deborah glanced at me worriedly.“Yeah,” I nodded, looking at her briefly and returned my eyes to my laptop’s screen. “Why wouldn’t I be okay? And why do you look soooo guilty?” I chuckled, teasing her.“Because I always miss your birthday,” she pouted and sighed as she sat beside me, hugging me tightly.I chuckled. “Deb, it’s not your fault I was born on the same day as Xavier’s parents’ wedding anniversary.” I eased back, narrowing my eyes as I looked at

    (Jessamine’s POV)I breathed slowly, inhaling and exhaling as I glanced, shifting at the perfect blue sky and the coffee shop where Luke and I would meet. I had not seen him for almost four years, and though it was a clean breakup, I still felt guilty for breaking up with him when he didn’t do anything but love me.“For goodness sake, I’m not going on a date,” I murmured nervously, taking another look at my face in the small mirror in the car's sun visor. “I’m not going on a date, okay?” I sneered at Charlie when he turned his head to me. “We’re doing business for Daddy. This is for Daddy.”The puppy barked, and I hoped he agreed with me, not repeating what Deborah had said earlier. What would Aiden say?I didn’t know why I was nervous when this was nothing but a mere interview like what I did with the other applicants the other day. I consulted Deborah and Xavier about their qualifications, and they agreed that neither seemed to have the heart and skills to manage a new venture. Ther

I found myself staring thoughtfully back at him while my heart and mind were dwelling on why I had broken up with Luke. If not for the table between us, he might have kissed me and…Charlie barked, probably reminding me why I was here in the first place. My puppy might have accepted that Aiden and I had broken up… as best friends, but his loyalty would still be on his Daddy.I cleared my throat and sighed, successfully escaping from his gaze.“I’m sorry, Jess. I got overexcited seeing you again,” he muttered truthfully and smiled apologetically.“The interview?” I lifted my cup, sipping coffee, hoping it would calm my heart instead of accelerating its beating.Right now, it was my brain that I needed to be quick in thinking and picking up the words to get Luke onto the ship without complicating my life. I didn’t want Aiden to believe I was getting back

    (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

    (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,
