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
The first light of dawn filtered through the curtains as the chirping sound of birds flying across Jessica's window woke her up. With a soft exhale, she stretched while squinting her eyes. Her hand instinctively found its place on the swell of her belly and a smile appeared by the side of her cheek but it vanished the moment she remembered last night incident. Slowly, she rose up from and sat sat uprightly on the bed but it suddenly felt like her head was being hit from behind and the pain was excruciating. Jessica closed her tightly with her face squeezed while enduring the pain which began to reduce. "This headache is terrible" She said out and proceeded to stand up the moment the pain seized. While walking to the toilet, Jessica took a glance at the clock and saw that it was past 10, she immediately remembered she had a meeting with Jayden and his lawyer. "I need to get ready shit" She said and hurried her pace. About her an later, she was all dressed up and was ready for the
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
