Jasper turned around to look at me.
"Sorry, Jordan, but I won't bother you anymore."
"Yes, no. Hmm, if I agree to be with you and this doesn't work out, will you leave me alone?"
"Yes, you have my word."
"It's a deal then."
I could see him trying to hide a smile.
"Is it too soon to ask you to spend the night? I would like to get to know you more."
"Ok, just give me a few minutes."
I hurried up the remaining stairs, almost tripping as I went.
"What did he want?" Jenna asked.
I said nothing as I ran to my room, dug through my things, and took out the best clothing I had.
I stuffed them in a little bag, then left my room.
"Oh." I heard Cooper saying.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow, maybe."
"Do you think this is a good idea?" Jenna asked.
"Weren't you the one encouraging me to give this a shot?"
"Yes, but what if he only uses you?" Jenna asked.
"And I said basically the sa
I looked around the space of the Penthouse, thinking that it looked different from when I was here the last time.But then again, I was on a high from alcohol and sex."This place is truly amazing.""Thank you. I need to call my father to sort things out with what happened."As I sat on the white, comfortable sofa that was in Jasper's living room. I watched him as he paced the area, thinking about what to do."Ok, so as soon as he gets back from his trip, I will talk to him.""It's fine, really. I mean, I know she would have died. I was just holding on and now I'm doing the same with not setting a set day to have her cremated.""Ok, so first thing first. I am going to get you off that blacklist." Jasper said, ignoring what I just said."Wait. You can do that?""Cameron is no match for me, plus it can be easily done when I get in contact with the right person.""Ok.""What line of work are you looking for?"
"I don't want to share that," I told Jasper."Come on, I don't want any secret between us and this way I can protect you better."I scoffed, "or maybe you will leave after you hear what I have done.""I won't.""Yeah, you're right. You would just kick me out."Jasper closed the distance between us. He cupped my face and placed a kiss on my lips."I won't do that either."I pulled away from his touch and sighed."When I was in college, I was studying Law. My father, he got me in on a full scholarship. It was great until my third year. I was not failing, but I wasn't doing great. Of course, my father went crazy, saying that if I don't get my grades up, they would take my opportunity away.""I did all I could by staying up late and spending all my time studying. None of that helped. Coffee didn't help, working out didn't help. Nothing.""Until my new roommate moved in, she saw that I was struggling and offered me som
"Turn around and face me," he ordered, his voice gentle.I did as I was told, turning slowly to build up the anticipation.He watched me intently."You have a perfect body. I don't see why you always hide it under those baggy clothes." he said through clenched teeth."To keep unwanted men away.""Am I unwanted?"I shook my head."Use your words.""I want you." I told him."Do you want me to fuck you?"
I felt something shaking me from my sleep. I opened one eye to see Jasper standing over me.I jumped up with a gasp."What?""Relax, just waking you up to begin the day early.""Why?" I groaned."Because we have quite a few things to do.""10 more minutes, please?""No, none. Let's go.""I don't want to."Jasper got into bed beside me. "I guess you don't want to hear how I got you off the blacklist then, it came through quicker than I thought."I peeked from under the covers at that."Are you serious?""Yes.I threw myself at him, kissing him all over his face."Thank you so much." I told him."It was not a bother.""Well, I guess I'm up now.""Good, first stop breakfast. Then we have a few other things to do.""Like what?""Most of it is a surprise.""I don't like surprises.""You will like these.""Ok, I guess."After eati
When we got to the car, I glanced at Jasper.''So where to next?""A little shopping."I nod."That girl, do you know her?""Who?""The receptionist.""Oh, I wouldn't say I know her, but I frequented the salon with my ex. She would always do the most to get my attention until my ex spat in her face because of an altercation. Did she say something to you?""No, it was just the way she was behaving towards me. I could feel the animosity and thought she was a woman from your past.""Woman from my past?" Jasper laughed, "she is not my type.""What exactly is your type?""I don't know better yet. I don’t think I have one, but it's not her.""How can you not have a type?""Because then, that means I would be with the same person over and over, just with a different face. And would never meet my soul mate because I'm sticking to one type of person.""That makes plenty of sense.""
When we came out of the dressing room, I was wearing a new neon green pants that had white strips at the side a white blouse.Mark gave us a knowing smile."Is that all?" He asked, his smile never leaving."Yes, she has all she needs." Jasper told him.Mark made his way over to the 6 racks of clothes that I placed the items I chose on.I watched as he scanned them, along with the shoes and bags of my selection."Are you sure you want to take me to meet your parents? I don't mind going back to work today.""Talking about work, I would like a copy of yo
I followed Jasper and the others down to the fifth floor because I wanted to see who the hacker was.When we got to the office area, everyone scrambled around as if they were busy all along.We walked over to a room that had its door closed.The woman that was said to be the security manager produced a master key and opened the door.The sweaty man that was sitting around his desk jumped up, while the other man in the room seem like he was a deer caught in the headlights."Both of you are fired." Jasper told them without hesitation.The men began to protest as if they were innocent.
"What do you think I should wear?" I asked."You would look wonderful in anything, even naked."I scoffed, "I will not want to show up at your parents' place naked.""That would be some first impression."I shook my head as I walked off to the bathroom.After a quick shower, and being careful to not get my hair wet, I got dressed in a simple long flowing black dress and paired it with black wedged heels."You look simply amazing." Jasper said, coming up to me and kissing my neck."Thank you."I r
"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
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.
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.
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
"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
