Thirty minutes passed and Jessica remained clogged on to Jayden, who was becoming tired of remaining in the same position for a long time. He tried adjusting and stretching his aching back but due to the way Jessica held on to him tightly, it became impossible. Jayden placed his right hand gently on her hair, running it through her hair softly with affection and didn't want to stop, but his back ached badly. "I think you should go back to sleep now Jessica." He said, trying to push her away from him but she refused to let go, instead she tightened the hug. "I'm scared, I can't stay here all alone. Don't leave me." Jessica pleaded, slowly lifting up her face to look at him. For a moment, Jayden thought she was probably drunk or not in her right state of mind. He felt the urge to touch her but immediately shook his head vigorously. "I shouldn't be doing this, I mustn't be caught doing this." Jayden said to himself inwardly, completely lost on what to do about Jessica, as she was mak
He was eventually going to tell, he was going to tell her what happened that night and how her friends betrayed her for money and he mistook her to be a slut, but was shocked to find out she was a virgin.He was going to tell her, he saved her from going to jail and happens to be the father of her child. He was going to tell her how confused he is about his feelings towards her. He was going to tell her everything, but now wasn't the right time because he was scared even though he wouldn't show it. "Jessica, I...I can explain. It isn't what." He stuttered."You have no explanation for making me go through hell. Leave now, I want you out of this room and never see your face again." Jessica shouted, pushing him away from the bed, but he held her hands pleading with her to forgive him. "I didn't know, I didn't know Jessica.""You knew everything but chose to make me suffer. Why did you take me away from Williams? I would have aborted this pregnancy and start a new life somewhere, but y
After coming out from Jessica's room, Jayden stood outside the door for a few minutes with his face looking dejected. For the first time in his life, he felt bad for treating someone in the manner which he did.The fact that he threatened her with death made matter worst, but it was for her own good. He was ready to have the child and wouldn't want anything to happen to his child. At the same time, he really wanted her to be happy, knowing she had been through hell this last few months but he had no slight idea on how to do that."I need a drink, my head needs to be cleared." He said out loud, running his hands through his hair before shaking it vigorously.He had only moved his right leg and was about to leave when he heard her sobbing softly. He froze for a second before moving to closer to the door to be sure he heard correctly. His heart sank when he heard her say, "He said he wouldn't hurt me." Immediately, he buried his face into his palm with his eyes closed, he was so embarr
Just as expected, Eva walked towards Jessica and stood in front of her staring in disgust. Jessica let out a soft sigh and was about to look away when she suddenly noticed the POP and bandage wrapped around her right hand and the blood stains. She froze for a second, looking closely and her arm."Why do you look surprise?" Eva asked her before laughing out mockingly."This all your fault, if only I hadn't come to check up on you and know why you are shouting then this would have been avoided. " She said grinning as she moved closer to Jessica who still seemed lost."This? Jayden did this?" She muttered in a shaky voice, remembering when he had hit his trigger that night and Eva screaming. That occurence had completely skipped her memory and she felt bad seeing the condition Eva was in because of her. "I'm sorry about this Eva, I really." "Shut it!" Eva interrupted her. "What will your sorry do huh? What is it going to change? Is it going to stop the pain I am feeling now?" She asked
Just as she got into the room, already getting closer to the bed, she heard loud footsteps accompanied with Eva's voice along the hallway and was grateful that she was already inside Jayden's room. Moving closer, Jessica thought it was weird that Jason didn't move or noticed that someone had just entered his room, since he was a very sensitive person."Is this how he sleeps?" She whispered, tiptoeing towards his bed. "Jayden, Jayden." She called out softly, not wanting to frighten him.She stood about six feet's away from the bed and called his name a few more times but still got no response. "I think I have to go close and tap him." She thought and proceeded with her plans.Jessica was very closer to the bed and was about to tap Jayden, who was all covered with his blanket and she couldn't even see any part of his body. With her eyes close, she inhaled deeply, then exhaled before stretching out her hands and placed it on his shoulder while calling his name."Wait! What!" She exclaim
"Eva! Eva! Where are you?" Jayden yelled I'm fury the moment he opened the door.Jessica was more surprised by his sudden change of mood, attitude and facial expression. A few minutes ago, he was quite calm even though she had pissed him off by entering his room without his permission, he didn't shout at her the way she expected. She was shocked by the way he reacted after she told him, she was hungry. "Why did he jump to the conclusion that I was deprived food? Well they did, like he knows what they are capable of." Jessica said inwardly, hiding behind the door so that Eva and the other maids wouldn't see her and assume that she reported them to Jayden."I'm asking, why didn't you give Jessica food to eat? How dare you starve her and my unborn child?" He shouted.The maids were so shocked by what they heard, but fear wouldn't let them say a word or even look at each other. They couldn't believe what Jayden had just said, knowing how he treated women and acted like he would never mar
The moment Jayden closed the door, Eva paused for a few seconds trying to process what had just happened. "I thought he was going to get a gun, why the sudden change of mind?" She asked aloud, staring blankly. "Ohh, that bitch is in there." She shouted, laughing out as she walked towards Lillian who was still on the floor, struggling to stand up as none of the maid would help her because of fear."B*tch! Your friend is in there. First, she reported you to Jayden and watched him do all this to you." Eva said, pretending to be pitiful as she crouched down beside, tapping her back gently."You, come over here and help her. Kate, get her a doctor to treat her wounds. The rest, go and get the food Jayden asked for." She shouted. Eva was so happy with what just happened, she had intentionally blamed Lillian knowing she was Jessica's friend. She wanted Lillian out of the house, so that she can manipulate the other maids to carry out her plans towards Jessica. Now, Lillian was going to be en
That night, Jessica couldn't sleep and continuously rolled on her bed with her head filled with what Jayden told her before leaving his room. She thought of the possible things he would likely ask her so she wouldn't be taken off balance. The fact that his lawyer is going to be present, made her heart skip and she silently hoped that it would be nothing serious and something she could deal with. She was still thinking with different scenarios playing in her head until she finally dozed off.Lillian was eventually attended to by a doctor and her wound was properly dressed and cleaned. Just as the doctor was done with her and was clearing up the equipment he used, Eva began approaching them, like she had been waiting for him to be done all this while. As she got closer, she immediately wore a pitiful look and pretended to care."Oh Lillian, I'm so sorry about this. You don't deserve this pain." She said, placing her hand on her hairs gently."It's fine ma'am, I feel better now thanks
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
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
"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
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
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
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
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
