Jayden was indoor all day, he had no where to go neither did he have anything to do. He took a break and allowed his men handle everything. He needed peace of mind and rest. The death of his unborn child has left him in dismay and he could help but blame himself.He was too ashamed to face Jessica as he failed her when she needed him the most. Evening came by and it didn't cross Jayden's mind to pick up Jessica from the hospital.He was on his bed that evening, scrolling through a document on his laptop, when he heard a knock on his door. At first, he refused to respond not wanting anyone to disturb him. "Leave my room, I don't want anybody in here" He shouted, but heard the knock again and before he could respond, the door opened slightly revealing Jessica who stood by the door, staring at him. Her eyes was red and it looks like she had been crying the whole day"Why didn't you come to pick me up from the hospital?" She asked moving closer to him."I have no reason " Jayden responded
Jayden didn't listen which made Jessica wonder if he ever loved her like he claimed or he was only pretending just because if the child. She regrets everything and she blamed herself for also falling for him and stupidly coming back to his house, she should have gone to Williams and ask for help instead. "Jayden you don't have to do this, I will leave your house instead." She shouted as he push her out of him room and about to shut the door."Exactly! Just as I thought. Go ahead and do whatever you want, I don't care." He shouted ."Fine, I'm leaving and leaving for good since you don't want to see me around and don't even bother looking for me because you would never find me." Jessica yelled as he slammed the door on her face.Jessica sat on the floor for a while with hot tears rolling down her cheeks as she was filled with nothing but regrets. From the moment she decided to attend that party with her friends, her life has never been the same afterwards."I was so stupid to believe t
Jessica paused to process the question Khole just asked , "Do I really love Jayden?" She asked herself as memories flashed through her head. She couldn't fathom why Jayden was acting up at the moment, she knew he loved her so much regardless of the death of their child which isn't her fault. "Do you? Do you love him?" Khole asked again. "Hm, I don't know, I think I do." Jessica responded looking away as her eyes were getting moist again. "Then it's settled then, you have to fight for the man you claim to love. Don't just give up and allow your enemies see you fall. Those who killed your child." "You said you know who is responsible for the death of my child right, tell me."Jessica said, moving closer to Khole with her eyes wide open like she was about to look through Khole's soul. "Okay so, based on my observations and findings, the people responsible are.' "Did you say people? Not just one person?" She asked filled with surprise, wondering what crime she committed to deserve
Lillian was confused on what to do but one thing she didn't want was for Jayden to see the bruises on Jessica's body and her face.She feared that he might sympathize with her and immediately scold her for beating up Jessica like this or might even do worse. She pulled Jessica hair, pushing her back into the room with all her strength. "Don't leave this room unless I tell you to do so." Lillian told her, slamming the door on her face and hurriedly rushed to answer Jayden.As she approached Jayden, her heart began to pound faster than normal, but she hid the fear written all over her face, replacing it with a fake smile instead. "Good Morning Jayden, you called me." She said, revealing her teeths."It's Sir or Lord Jayden. Be warned." Jayden said, looking towards the door where she had just come out from. "What's going on there?" He asked, looking sternly at her."Nothing serious sir, just a correcting a maid who is being lazy and stubborn." She responded quickly, still putting on he
After a few minutes Jessica was finally done. After cleaning the other rooms, by now she felt really dizzy and hungry. Her vision became blurry and she could barely stand uprightly.The only room left was Jayden's room and knowing she was going to clean it, her heart skipped. At this point she wondered if Khloe was free so she could help, but she hasn't seen her since she started cleaning. With the remaining strength left in her, she staggered to Jayden's room, while heading towards the door she wished he wasn't around, so she could have some time to rest or never clean his room.As she got nearer, her heart began beating fast as she pondered on what his reaction might be when he sees her in his room. "Oh shit, please he shouldn't yell at me too. That's the last thing I want." She murmured, trying to catch her breath as she was getting weaker. She stretched her hands forward, knocked lightly but got no response and she did the second time but still the same.She placed her hand left
Just as Jayden had instructed, the maids all lined up in front of his office, all shivering. They all decided within themselves to say the truth when asked any question, in order not to trigger his anger the more. "I thought he was done with her and didn't like her anymore, why is he so concerned now?" Lillian asked inwardly, already thinking of possible lies she could use to cover up for her actions. Suddenly, the door opened and Jayden appeared looking at each one of them sternly, until his eyes finally met with Lillian and he stopped. As he walked towards her, he noticed she appeared to be so scared like he had a knife on his hands."It's so obvious you are guilty, you can't even hide it." Jayden said, with a frown on his face as he kept his eyes fixated on Lillian, who didn't dare to look Jayden in the eye.Her lips quivered, she tried so much to hide her fear but wasn't successful. 'Sir hm I hm.""Sir here are the drugs." Jayden heard the doctor say and tilted his head backward
"Do you have issues with not trusting people, I mean must you believe everyone who is nice to you really likes you and means well for you?" Jayden asked Jessica as he watched her eat the food slowly without looking at him for even a second "Now, you act dumb and deaf. Why do you trust people easily, the same trust made you lose your baby, now because this maid is being nice to you, you suddenly think she is a good person? Going against my order by not allowing her eat part of the food. What if you die now?" He asked, fixating all his attention on her.Jessica chuckled softly, shaking her head and said, "You are right you know, I shouldn't put my trust on people just because they appear to like or love me and being unnecessarily nice to me. They are the ones that hurt the most just like the person before me." Jessica said out loudly without looking at Jayden to see his facial expression."Don't go there Jessica, let's not start it." He responded immediately."Don't ever talk about the
In a blink of an eye Jayden grabbed her neck and squeezed it as he watched her struggle to breath, deriving pleasure from it. The other maids gasped and for a second, Khloe felt really bad for exposing Lillian. If Jayden kills her now, she would never forgive herself because she contributed to her death. "What's going to happen now? What do I do?" She asked herself inwardly and pondered on begging Jayden, the thought alone sent shivers down her spine and caused her heart to beat so fast. "Oh no! I can't do this." She said out."Huh?" Jessica said."Nothing" She responded quickly.Jessica immediately rose up to her feet and walked towards Jayden. She held his atom and he turned to look at her. "Stay put of this." He said, looking back at Lillian who was out of breath but still struggling to stay alive."Jayden, don't do this please. I beg you, it's not going to make any difference." She pleaded with her eyes getting moist."Stay put of this Jessica." Jayden warned again."No! No! I wo
Jessica came into the dining room with Hailey and Khole. The aroma of freshly cooked pasta wafted as they entered making their mouth watering but they didn't want to show it and kept on discussing among themselves which got Jayden angry. "Why can't they keep shut? Can't they see someone is before them?" He said inwardly, staring at each of them one after the other but none of them noticed the look on his face.Jessica carried a large, steaming hot serving pasta, adorned with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a few fresh basil leaves. The eight men seated around the table looked up from their conversations, the moment she placed it on the table with their their faces lighting up with anticipation."Sorry for the delay." She said and they only nodded their heads in unison like they wear being controlled or were suddenly dumb.As Jessica began to serve the pasta, the men watched with interest. She expertly twirled the pasta onto each plate, adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a driz
Hailey was in shock by how rude Jayden was. She expected any behaviour from him because Eva had told her a lot about him and how ruthless he can be. She knew she was going to have a physical encounter with him one way or the other but she didn't expect it to be on her first day.She left the living room with a frown on her face, feeling so embarrassed. "He demands that you do it yourself Jessica." Hailey told Jessica without looking at her the moment she stepped into the kitchen. "He said that?" Jessica asked surprisingly."Well, yes he did." She responded angrily which could be easy detected from her tone."I guess people have to learn the hard way." Khole said, smiling profusely and withholding the laugh threatening to burst out."You think this is funny?" Hailey asked, moving closer to her slowly."No! Not here, Not now please." Jessica immediately said to them, pushing Hailey backwards as she took a few step forward but stopped.She took in a deep breath with her two eyes closed,
Hailey walked away boiling in anger as she headed to the Kitchen, hoping to find Lillian and tell her about Khole. The moment she got into the kitchen, the aroma from the food Jessica was cooking hit her nose and she suddenly forgot how angry she was, besides Lillian was in the kitchen."Hi Jessica, what are you preparing?" Hailey asked with a wide smile on her face as she got nearer."Jayden's favourite dish, Pasta. He has some visitors this evening and asked me to prepare something really good." Jessica responded with a smile stirring the pasta one last time before finally putting off the cooker."That's really nice, the aroma from this food is everything. I can tell it taste really good even though I haven't eaten it " Hailey said, patting her shoulder. "You must be tired." "You can imagine." Jessica responded. "Well it almost time and they might be here anytime soon, I would go and set the table now, would you like to assist me?" "I would love to but I wanted to use this evening
For a second, Lillian got scared with Hailey sudden change of attitude. She barely know anything about her and wouldn't want to involve in a fight with her or exchange words either. At that moment, Jessica walked into the kitchen, carrying the a bowl of tomatoes on her hand. "Jessica, lead this new maid to the maids room." Lillian instructed."But, you can obviously see I am" "Shut up! I don't want to hear any but, just do as I say." Lillian shouted at her. Jessica wasn't in the mood to argue nor exchange words, she turned to Hailey who was suddenly smiling again, like her smiling switch was turned on again. "Hi, I'm Hailey." She said smiling, revealing her white set of teeth."Jessica." "Hmm, You are Jessica." Hailey said with her eyes open as she kept on smiling."Yes." Jessica responded and chuckled as she began to walk. "Come on, let's go""My room is room 1" Hailey said to her."Room 1?" Lillian asked, laughing profusely. "Well , that's my room and there is no way that's your
Jessica ignored Eva and kept on walking, the last thing she wanted is a banter or and exchange of words with Eva. She increased her pace walking hurriedly to the kitchen in order to figure out what to prepare for Jayden and his guests by evening. She couldn't bother or care less about Eva or anything she had to say."I'm talking to you Jessica, you proud maid. Who would have imagined?" She said mocking while trying to meet up with her. Immediately she got close to Jessica, she grabbed her hands and pulled closer. "I'm talking to you Jessica, I see you must have grown wings and lack respect " Eva told her."Let go of me Eva, while I'm letting you to.," Jessica said to her, trying to pull her arms from her tight grasp."Or what? Huh? If I don't let you go what would you do? Beat me or kill me?" She asked, shaking her arms."Kill you? That would be great. I will take revenge for the death of my child you and you crew killed. Shockingly, Eva laughed out loud, letting go of Jessica arm a
Eva stood motionlessly, looking at Jayden who face was cold. His face turned a deep, mottled red and his eyebrows arched with hot blood running through this vein. She could see how angry he was to see her a d she wondered if Lillian had given her false information, just to make her come here and die. "That witch told me, he doesn't know anything about the death of his child and I can lie to him. My mission isn't complete if Jayden isn't destroyed." She said to herself inwardly, avoiding to look at Jayden as he got nearer."What are you doing here?" Jayden asked again.He turned this time, heading to his drawer and Eva needed no one to tell her what he was going to get. As she stood frozen, her eyes wide with terror, the color drained from her face, leaving behind a pale, ghostly complexion. Her breath came in short, ragged gasps, and her hands trembled like leaves in an autumn breeze. She couldn't help but think of Lillian who might have probably lied to her, just to get revenge beca
Thousands of thoughts ran through Jessica's mind as she struggled to free herself from Jayden but he had overpowered her and all her efforts were in vain. She thought of giving him a hard kick in his groin which seemed to be the only way she can be freed. "What if it only gets him more angry?" She thought inwardly."Look at me!" Jayden commanded."Let me go" She replied."I see you aren't ready to corporate.""Just let me go, I have no business with you neither do you." Jessica shouted."You dare to shout at me?" Jayden asked her with a calm voice but his facial expression was different. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched, his muscles tensed radiating tension which sent shivers down Jessica's spine. It quickly occurred to her that she and Jayden weren't how they used to be before, she was now a normal maid and not the mother of his unborn child he used to love anymore. "I'm sorry I shouted at you, I didn't mean it." She said immediately, looking away while feeling hopeless still be
"Hm, I just came to check up on her sir. I was about leaving." Khole managed to respond, trying to hide her fear soot doesn't seem like she was doing something wrong.Jayden scrutinized every corners of the room before, looking back at her and took a quick glance at Jessica who was still on the bed. "Wake her up, other maids are awake, why is she still sleeping?" He said and turned to leave but suddenly stopped. "Also, let her know I would be having some visitors tonight, she should get ready to attend to them." He slammed the door loudly, which caused Jessica to jump out of the bed, looking confused and shocked, wondering what was going on."What's happening? Is Jayden in a bad mood again? Was that a gun shot?x She asked, looking around. "Calm down" Khole said, laughing out loud. When she was sure Jessica was fully awake and back to her senses, she passed Jayden's information to her and began to head towards the door. "See you later!" She shouted."Thank you, Khole. I will freshen
"It's fine Jessica, everything is going to be fine soon. Justice will be served believe me." Khole tried to console Jessica who was weeping profusely." Why am I so unlucky? The whole world is against me, what did I do? Why do I deserve to be unhappy? Why me? Am I cursed?" She cried out uncontrollably, not having control over the tears rushing out like tap."No, you are not Jessica. You are just a strong woman life is testing and I'm sure you are going to be victorious at the end of the day. Just be hopeful.""I'm done being hopeful, the best thing I should do is leave.""No, not yet. Not now, until justice is served." Khole held her shoulder, while parting her back gently.A few minutes later, Jessica was fast asleep and Khole left the room leaving her to rest as she really needed the rest. Today has been a whole lot for Jessica. As she headed back to the maids quarters to rest as it was already night, she couldn't help but imagine how strong Jessica was. As she laod on her bed, she
