"Jasper, nice seeing you again. You didn’t like that place, did you?"
"No, I am enjoying my time there. I called you because I am looking to get a place for my girlfriend."
"And you came to the right place. You can call me auntie." She smiled at me.
Cooper gave me a look, and I shrugged.
"How is my sister doing?" She asked.
"The same as usual."
"Your father's birthday is coming up, right?"
"It is."
"I should make sure to get him a gift before forgetting again."
The woman's phone rang, and she excused herself.
"That is my aunt Margaret, my mother's sister. She is the best person I know to get us a place at a great rate."
I nod, now understand their exchange.
"Ok, so I made sure to handpick the best places money can buy." She said, then hand us ten pamphlets each.
"We are going to seven differen

"The only place I know that does lunch at this time is The Capital Grille." Jasper said.Cooper and I exchanged looks with each other, knowing that the restaurant was one of those fancy, upscale places."Oh my God, J, looking at this rabbit." Cooper laughed, then showed me his phone.I watched the video on his phone, know that his code for rabbit meant a person who is sus.I was behind, shocked to see my sister doing what was apparently flirting with Cameron."That is so light." I said, another code for something shitty.We began speaking in codes."Who did the owner just happen to get that video?" I asked."Oh, the owner noticed a few stronger things happening and set up a security camera to see what was causing it. But it was the brother who ran through the video after noticing something off with the rabbit.""Damn, the brother is very genius to do all that.""Genius is an understatement, but I want to know what
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO What a morning
The next morning, Jasper didn't have to wake me up. I was too nervous to get a full night's sleep.I lay in bed for a while, staring out the window, thinking that this was just surreal.Just a week ago I was worried about my future, and now I am able to make the future I wanted for myself.I climbed out of bed feeling sore, because yesterday I foolishly went to the gym with Jasper.Something I was not used to. I had never worked out a day in my life and I didn't know what told me to do so after we got here.Now it felt as if my limbs were about to fall off.I stood in spot for a while, afraid to move because of how heavy my legs felt."Good, you are up." Jasper said as he entered the bedroom.I looked over at him, noticing that he was already dressed in a grey shirt that, in my opinion, was too tight and black pants."I should go get ready to not keep you waiting for too long.""No, take your time. We don't need t
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO A spicy first day
I somehow managed to survive my first day of work. I had plenty to do, because the previous manager never seemed to do crap. The only thing the folders on his desktop were filled with were pictures of naked girls and porn. I struggled to keep up with the workload, the names and unfamiliar faces. Not to mention Jasper checking in on me every half hour.''Knock, knock. First day celebration,'' Cooper cheered, entering my office with two cups of coffee in his hands. "Wow, I had to see it to believe it. This space is nice.''I groaned, holding my head in my hands.''Was it that bad?'' He asked, coming to sit cross leg on my desk.''There was so much virus in this system, I'm surprised TechPro hadn't taken a tumble a long time ago.''''I feel your pain. I thought four of us worked as the WordPress developers, well, three after what happened. But no, it's just me and there was so much to do...'' Cooper dragged on.''I just want to go home and slee
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Expect the unexpected
By lunchtime on Friday, Jasper walked into my office, saying he was taking me to lunch. Sadly, he only managed to eat his fries because one of his investors popped up unannounced.While finishing up the rest of my food, all I could see was a hand on the table and thinking that it was Jasper, I looked up at the person with a smile, but it immediately faded after seeing that it was Cameron.I held up a hand to get the waiter's attention, but he stopped me.''Jordan, wait.''"Oh, so you do know my name?''He lets out a sigh.''I know that I am the last person you want to see right now-''"You think?'' I said, about to get up.''Please just hear me out?''''Cameron, I don't care how rich and powerful you are, but just leave me alone. And I would think that after sending me that restraining order, you would have had me out of your mind.''"I'm sorry, but you can't re
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Birthday party surprise
The ride back to the penthouse was so fucking silent, I was still in shock and Jasper was gripping the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The only sound that came was the pur of the car and our breathing.When we got in, neither of us addressed the elephant in the room. I guess we will just act as if he didn't drop that big boom.''Jordan,'' Jasper finally said.I turned to look at him, and he closed the distance between us.''I don't want to lose you, Jordan.''He kissed me so tenderly after, leaving me to wonder if this is what love is for a person. I had never experienced that before and truly I don't know what my feelings towards Jasper is."I'm sorry Jasper,'' I told him.''No, I'm sorry. I came off too strong, not at all considering your feelings.''Those words still hadn't reassured me, now leaving me to think about what it would have been like if I gave Cameron a chance. Despite him coming off as a pr

''What? Am I not allowed here? Because it is a party and as far as I can see, I am making a statement. Just look at them stare.''''Yes Jenna, but all for the wrong reasons.''Jenna scoffed, ''if you are jealous just say that.''''Of what? You dressing like a skank and being here with Cameron.''She smiled, ''Aww, you are jealous. I told you Jordan, if I wanted to fuck a rich man, I could and here I am, living the life.''''You don't even know the man you are with. He is the most hated person at this party.''''By who? You? Because you couldn't get him. He told me everything Jordan. You stole from him, keep harassing him, and even tried to break his company.''I gave a laugh, ''and you believe that? Come on, you know what he did.''''From what you have done in the past, yes. And he did nothing.''I grabbed her arm. ’’You should leave Jenna. You don't know what you are getting into with this man and remember he was the reason mom died.''Jenna flashed my hand off. ’’He told me the trut

"I'm sorry about that. I did not know Cameron would have shown up with your sister, Jasper apologised.''There is no need for you to feel sorry. Cameron knew exactly why he brought my Jenna along, and she knew exactly why she came.''''I still can't help but think that this is all my fault. He wants you and I am in possession of the one thing he can't have. I have never seen Cameron so wounded.''''Well, he can't have me. Again, it's not your fault because I'm sure that any man I'm with he would still come roaring his head like the spoiled brat he is. Besides, I'm with you, who is a much better human being than Cameron Cater will ever be, and after hearing all the lies he told my sister. I wouldn't want to be within two feet of that man.''''What did your sister say?''''Cameron told her I'm obsessed with him. Not only that, but I took out insurance on mom and told his uncle, the director I spoke with, to kill her so I can collect the money.''It was a good thing Jasper wasn't the one

I guess it was safe to say that after a month; I had put everything behind me. No longer did I have to worry about Dante, and no longer was Cameron on my mind. I truly didn't care what he or my sister were doing. I was happy for the first time in so long. Life at work and home were great. I didn't have to worry about much, just to make sure Jasper's company didn't fail.Jasper and I were going strong, and today Cooper and I were finally moving furniture into our apartment.''Is Jasper going to join us?'' Cooper asked.''He will, as soon as he gets back from his parents' place.''''Why are you even moving in Jordan? You basically live with the guy.''''I'm not moving in, just making sure I have a place to stay just in case,'' I said.''In case of what? That man loves you. I'm pretty sure more than how he loves himself.''''Cooper, you see how fast things can change.''''True, but I don't think anything will change with the both of you. Unless it's marriage.''I rolled my eyes as I str

"Cooper, can you put your phone down and help me with this dress? I can't get it over my stomach." I complained. He fanned me off. "One second, they are about to pass the verdict. I want to hear if he will get a life sentence or what."I rolled my eyes, then continued to struggle without his help.Copper glanced up at me and laughed. "Look at you with that planet before you.""Shut up and help me.""No one told you to get married with your damn eight months belly. You better pray that this dress doesn't rip.""That's why I bought two.""Has the jury reached a verdict?" A stern voice asked from the top pocket of Cooper's jacket."Yes, your honour. In the case of people against Cameron. We find Cameron Carter guilty on ten counts of fraud. Guilty on five counts of rape, one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of conspiracy to murder. And guilty on three counts of child abuse and pornography."There was an uproar, but whatever Cooper was watching the month long sa
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Engagement party and a bitter bitch
After getting dressed in a light green dress, Jasper and I made our way stairs to where everyone was milling around, wondering what was going on.Jasper stopped on the third step before addressing our guests."Thank you all for coming. I know everything was short noticed and you all must be wondering why I called you here. So let me just welcome everyone to my new home, one that I will be sharing with my fiance. My soon to be wife, Jordan Sanders, and our baby."There were collective gasps and low murmurs."That is right, I have asked this beautiful woman to be my wife, and she said yes."Even though there were confused faces, they all applauded. But I could see a few faces that didn't seem too happy about our announcement. One I particular was Mariana, leaving me to wonder why Jasper invited her. The other was from a man who had a deep frown, not hiding his displeasure. People came over to congratulate us."Welcome to the family, sis." Alice came up to me and pulled me into a hug."

"I need to make a stop by the bank first, then we can go shopping. And then the party," I told Jasper."Why do you need to go to the bank?" Cooper narrowed his eyes.I looked away from him.''Are you going to send Jenna money?" He asked.I nod once. "Coop, she is my sister. I can't just leave her like this."He rested a hand on my shoulder. "I know. I'm not mad at you."When we got to the bank, everyone was staring at me. Someone even snapped a picture. "Well, look at you. Engaged, a baby on the way, and a celebrity all in the same year." Cooper whispered. "Don't forget Otis daughter and Jasper's girlfriend." I whispered back.I went up to the smiling teller."Good morning," she chirped."Moring. I would like to transfer some money to an account. It is under the name Jenna Eva Sanders."The teller took the slip that I wrote the amount on.Her mouth formed an O. "Jordan Sanders, can you give me a minute, please?" She held up a finger before moving to the brown desk behind her. "Sir,

‘’Why are you looking at me like that?" Jasper only smiled, shaking his head. "Seriously, it's creeping me out.""You are beautiful." He kissed me, then kissed my stomach. That was starting to show now that I was almost at five months. I put my bra on, then moved to sit on the bed. Jasper was still staring at my half naked body and smiling."See something that you like?" I teased. "Actually, I do." Jasper kissed me again. He stood up and stepped back a bit, then went down on one knee."Jordan Sanders, I don't want to lose you-""Yes." I nod, cutting him off."You didn't have to let me finish." He laughed."You don't have to. I love you Jasper and I don't want to lose you either. You gave me love despite all that I have done. You stood by my side with all that I have been through. I couldn't have asked for anyone better."He smiled, then placed a large diamond ring on my finger.I gazed at it for a while."Is this an engagement ring or a wedding ring?"He kissed my lips instead of

"That went over better than I thought," I said to Jasper as we drove back."It did, but I had no doubts.""Really?""None."Pulling up inside the garage, I saw Cooper along with Andy waiting by the elevator, pressing the call button."Where are they?" I heard Cooper groan."Here," I said after getting out of the car."Thank God. Jordan, your sister has gone bat shit crazy," he said as I walked over to him."What do you mean?"Cooper showed me the live video on his phone. It was of Jenna sitting in a dimly lit room crying and saying that she was going to kill herself. "Honestly, since no one believes me and I can't be with the one I love. I might just end this. At least I'll be with my mother. If not, then I'll be happy."No one seemed to be taking her seriously, because it was nothing but laughing emojis."I should call her." I pulled out my phone and dialled her number.On the video, she looked at the screen and sighed. "What do you want, Jordan? To tell me to go ahead and take my l

"Holy shit, this is where Otis lives?" I said. Jasper seemed just as surprised when the gates to an expansive luxury-mega mansion opened up to let us through. The driveway, which was lined with marble statues, carried up to a house with three wings that overlooked a lake, which had a yacht and another small boat bobbing in the waves. I could see a helicopter on the roof, and I could just tell that there was a pool house around the back. Maybe even a tennis court. One man was out front trimming the edges, while a few security guards were milling around to keep any intruders out and another man was cleaning the fountain that was in the middle at the end of the driveway. "And I thought the house yesterday was too much." Jasper laughed "Hmm. I think I need to splurge more." Someone came to open the door of the Audi for us, then asked for the key. I glanced at Jasper, who was smiling. Obviously loving all this. We got to the front door, and were greeted by a butler and two maids.
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO A House?
Jasper was being mysterious about where we were going. Ever since we got the DNA results yesterday, he had been acting strange. "So, where are we going again?" I asked, trying at another attempt to get him to tell him where we are driving to."It's a secret." He mumbled.I gave him a side eye, trying to access him to see if I could figure out what was going on by reading his face. But he had a blank expression."I'm nervous about speaking with Otis tomorrow," I said, trying to break the tension I was feeling."You'll be fine." Was all he said.I remained silent after that, wondering if I had done something wrong.Jasper continued driving until we left the city, getting to the more residential part of where they had well-kept houses, three-story houses with pools, and manicured lawns. Kids were out playing basketball in their yards, riding their bicycles are just playing around in the streets. The place looked like wealth, and smelt like men and women who went to ivy league colleges.
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO The results are in
The first thing I was greeted with the next day were tabloids with my face plastered all over them.'Who is she?''Who is Jordan Sanders?''Jasper's girlfriend?'It was all about me, on TMZ, The ShadeRoom and Twitter.But there were two specific posts that got everybody talking the most.The first post was about me being the secret love child to Otis Lewis. They even had pictures of me from last night's event. They were trying to piece together the timeline to figure out when I was born, and who my mother was. Since I'm none of his wife's children, they knew that he had cheated on one of them.The second one was them wondering who the father of my child was, Cameron or Jasper. Because someone leaked that I was planning on doing or have already done a DNA test on my unborn baby.Which just pissed me off, because this is something personal and I couldn't think of anyone who would do this. Cooper would never, and the only suspects I had would be either Andy or one of those doctor's I hav
Crossing Paths: One Night with the Billionaire CEO Meeting Otis Lewis
"No sir, my name is Jordan Sanders," I told him.Otis chuckled. "Please, there is no need to call my sir. Either Otis or Mr Lewis would be fine. Now, care to tell me why you look like my daughter. Did she pay you to be her double?""No s- Otis. Is there something where we can talk privately?" I asked.He narrowed his eyes at me. "What happened to my daughter?"I looked to Jasper for help."Otis, I think we need to discuss this in a more private place." Jasper told him.Otis made a gesture, then three men came walking over to us. I moved closer to Jasper, thinking that they would throw us out. But instead, Otis walked over to where a red door was.He made a sign for us to enter first.Two of his guards stayed outside to stand guard, while another who looked meaner than the others was inside the spacious room with us."Now, what do you two want? Clearly this isn't for business.""I- I…" I didn't know what to say or how to begin."If my daughter is involved in this, just let me know how
