(Jessamine’s POV)

“Jess!”

There was horror in Aiden’s voice when he grabbed my shoulders. He was trembling as his hands lowered, scanning me quickly and grazing my arms. He seemed to stop breathing when his hands reached my hips.

“The baby,” he murmured, parting his lips as if filling his lungs with air. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” His eyes were wide as he asked.

“I’m okay,” Vincent groaned and chuckled as he answered, raising his hand, hoping Aiden would help him stand. “I’m…”

He winced when he didn’t. Aiden stood before me; his eyes were wide open, still looking shocked even when they all learned I was not the one who slipped and got hurt. I wondered if his heart ceased to beat and why his eyes were pinned on my belly.

“Thanks,” he said, forcing a smile on Xavier, who took his hand.

“Vincent, what are you doing at this hour?” Deborah asked as she hung the sweater on my shoulders.

“Are you okay?” My heart still hammered in my chest, terrified after seeing him trip and fall.

“Yeah,

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Colleen,” Shayla hissed, grabbing her sister’s elbow.Colleen brushed off her hand and walked toward me. My body jerked when she grabbed my hand and pulled me to her, hugging her.“You must feel terrible, Jessie,” she whispered, soothing my back lovingly. “I’m glad you finally had that courage to tell Mom how you feel.”“Hey!” I eased back, my lips pouting at her. “Just feel bad about me, okay?” I sniffled, wiping the tears escaping from the corners of my eyes.“And what? So…You’ll feel more guilty? You’ll feel… bad about everything?” Her eyebrows raised, crossing her arms on her chest. “Na-ah, sister! We’ve all been waiting for this day to happen that you’ll have the courage to tell Mom how you feel and you know… not just bow at everything she tells you to do.”“I never do what she wants me to do,” I pointed out.“That’s why we envy you. You can do that, and we can’t,” cut Shyla, rolling her eyes.“I’m still upset with you, though!” Colleen pouted her thin lips and

    (Aiden’s POV) The throbbing pain cracking my brain woke me up, not Charlie licking my face. I groaned, pushing the puppy’s face away, and rolled to the other side. Charlie jumped out of bed, maybe finding my cheeks less interesting, and turned his attention to Jessamine’s shoes. The sunlight peering the room through the window told me it was two or probably three in the afternoon, but it was the least of my concern. “Argh!” I massaged my forehead, lowering my gaze as I tried to remember how I got myself on the pull-out bed or why I was in my pajamas. All I recalled was that after what had happened in the hospital room, Benedict went with us to the apartment after Jessamine sobbed nonstop in the waiting area as if her mother had died. Then Xavier invited us for a drink, but I did not have a can of beer like them. I had a whole bottle of whiskey for myself. Was it one? Or two? Sonia made it clear last night that she didn’t want me for her daughter, but what was unfair to us was her h

    (Aiden’s POV) “What? You’re looking for what?” I blinked, then my eyebrows furrowed, hoping I heard it wrong. Jessamine might be looking for a cat, a pet I didn’t know. My best friend raised her head and looked at me, meeting my eyes. I didn’t back down, scowling at her as our eyes met. “I said I am asking them to help me find the guy I was with that night,” Jessamine repeated, then sighed, her full lips curling. “The father of this child,” she placed her palm on her belly. “What?” It was almost a murmur, and then I shook my head, trying to brush off the headache... and the heartache. “Why? Am I not enough?” “No, Aiden. You don’t understand.” Jessamine lowered her head and fidgeted with her hands. “Yeah, I don’t understand,” I opened my mouth, unsure which was worst, my presumed death or this. “This isn’t about you or me…” She snarled, fighting her tears and clutching the hem of her shirt. “This is about…” She turned her gaze at her housemate, silently asking for help to fill he

    (Jessamine’s POV)I stared at my reflection in the full-length wall mirror in my bedroom naked. For the past two months, I looked the same except for my hair which had grown an inch or two, and maybe my eyes, which had become puffy from crying. My belly? I smoothened my palm on my still flat belly while I asked myself if my baby could feel my trembling hand.“What on earth are you doing?” Aiden asked, shocked to see me naked. He immediately closed and locked the door. “Why are you not wearing anything?” His eyes were wide as if he had seen something horrible inside the room. “Wear something.”I smiled sheepishly, shaking my head, and continued to stare at the mirror, looking at him in the reflection as he took my night robe and walked in my direction. He stopped when he was a foot behind me, creasing his forehead, thinking of what to do with the robe. Aiden is the most beautiful man I have ever met, and there is no question about his genes. He is gorgeous, smart, and the most loving

    (Jessamine’s POV)My worries and fear disappeared, replaced with electric shocks jolting every part of my body the moment Aiden’s tongue touched my knot of pleasure. I growled when he moved his head back, but desire flooded my being, and the fire burned my skin when he stroked my pearl, slowly and gently, like he was making me suffer with intense pleasure.“A-Aiden… Aaahhh…” I gripped his hair hard, arching my head back when his fingers found my wet opening.Aiden thrust two fingers into my slit, pulling out and pushing them in, and when his tongue licked the center of my most sensitive spot, my body jerked with ecstasy. Everything was forgotten except for the euphoric pleasure he was giving. He was not stopping, sensuously dragging my soul from one cloud to another.“Aaahhhh…” I cried like a lunatic, forgetting we were not alone.I looked down and saw the love of my life, my best friend, sweetly torturing me with his skillful tongue. I moaned, gripping his hair harder as my body shud

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Interesting.” Deborah lifted an eyebrow, her lips curving a sinister smile.My mouth opened, hoping to ask them how long they had been sitting in the living room, but the giddy look in my housemate’s eyes answered my unuttered question.Deborah was seated on the loveseat beside Xavier, and her fiancé pressed his lips tightly, making sure a laugh would not escape. Mr. Doug was sitting on the single sofa. He glanced over his shoulder, following where Deborah's and Xavier’s eyes were.“Oh, there you are,” Mr. Doug said happily in a loud voice. “I was telling Deborah about our neighbor. I think they’re aliens.”“Interesting…” I repeated what Deborah said, a nervous chuckle escaping my mouth.I swallowed hard, hoping it would flush my heart back into my chest. My heart pounded hard as embarrassment pricked every part of my body as I shifted my eyes to everyone except Aiden.Mr. Douglas shifted to his seat, resting his arm on the top rail of the backrest. He narrowed his

    (Aiden’s POV)“Do you know them?” Jessamine asked curiously.She glanced at me, but that was only it. She didn’t look at me for over a few seconds, making me feel guilty. Her mind wandered somewhere, something worrying her that made me more anxious.“Of course not,” I denied. “I only saw them once when they asked me for directions. That’s it.”I lowered my gaze, pretending to focus on the food on my plate. They should not know that Jeanne and Will are my bodyguards and that my father allowed me to go anywhere, just this one time, without bothering me, as long as they were with me. We had to be discreet. No one must know we knew each other, especially Jasmine. If I had told her the truth, I would not need to hide my relationship with them.“You are Adam Knight. I saw your face in the news.” Mr. Douglas crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrows as he leaned on the backrest of his seat.His eyes told me to be honest with everyone in the house, but it was not easy peasy as M

There was her pause again, but it was longer than the first time.Charlie whimpered, his head on the apartment, wanting to enter the porch, but I shook my head.“Nope. Do your thing, buddy, then we’ll get inside,” I said, holding his leash tighter when he attempted to run.I was glad Bluetooth buds were invented. At least I didn’t have to hold my phone to my ear to talk to Sasha while I walked Charlie out. I glanced through the open main door, seeing them laughing at Mr. Douglas as he continued his argument about our weird neighbor, changing his theory from aliens to vampires because of how they dressed.

    (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,
