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
Jayden stared at Jessica's lips, squinting his eyes slightly as he was getting impatient of waiting to hear her response.He didn't know why he considered the second offer, rather than the first bit he didn't want Jessica to seem like she was an hostage here in his house. "I guess I after all find out if she actually ever felt anything for me or she is just filled with hatred for me." He thought, not removing his eyes from.her for even a second as she continuously avoided looking at him.For a few minutes, Jessica seemed to be out of the world. Her eyes were fixated on the ceiling and her mouth slightly opened and it seemed as though she wasn't breathing, like she had suddenly froze. "Jessica?" The lawyer called out."Call her with respect." Jayden blurted out.The lawyer swallowed a big gulp of saliva and cleared his throat severely before saying, "Ma'am Jessica, ma'am Jessica" His voice grew louder this time but she didn't reply him. He rose up from his seat and quickly took a gl
As Jayden walked towards his room, he tried convincing himself that he didn't need Jessica around him and all he needed was his child. "I don't give two fucks about her anyway." He muttered to himself as he turned the door knob, entering his room. "How could she think of abandoning her child after five years just because doesn't want to stay with me? What sought of mother is she?" He asked, before jumping on his bed.Suddenly, his phone began to beep out loudly and he was reluctant to answer it the call coming in, but the caller was persistent and wouldn't stop calling.After a few seconds, he decided to check who the caller could be. He slided his right hand into his hands into his pocket, struggling to take out his phone. "Fuck!" He shouted on seeing the caller."How could I forget you were arriving today? It's all Jessica's fault." He said, jumping out of the bed immediately and walked hurriedly to get his car key from his drawer.As he was descending down the stairs in a hurry, h
The gates, more like flimsy decorations than actual security, crumpled like paper under the weight of Jayden’s SUV. He didn’t even bother stopping; he just plowed right through, the twisted metal screaming a prelude to the carnage that was about to unfold. He jumped out, gun already in hand, the adrenaline pumping through him like a shot of pure fire. He wasn’t thinking straight, not really. Just pure, unadulterated rage.“Let’s go!” he yelled at his men, who were already spilling out of the other vehicles, weapons raised. The air crackled with tension, the quiet of the forest about to be shattered.George’s guards were scrambling, clearly caught off guard. They were expecting a quiet getaway, not a full-scale assault. They were outmatched, outgunned, and they knew it. Jayden moved like a man possessed, taking down two guards before they even had a chance to aim. He wasn’t playing around. This wasn’t a game.The clearing became a whirlwind of gunfire, shouts, and the sickening thud of
Jayden was seated in his room, going through the documents sent to him by Joe concerning Eva recent movement, purchases, pictures of her at different locations and all. Suddenly a video flickered to life on his phone screen. He’d received a cryptic message with a link, his heart already a lead weight in his chest. He’d known, somehow, that it was about Jessica. He’d been searching for her relentlessly, following every lead, every whisper, but it had all been dead ends. He pressed play, his breath catching in his throat. The first few seconds were a blur, just a dimly lit room. Then he saw Jessica, her eyes wide with terror, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, George appeared. Jayden’s blood ran cold. He felt a rage so intense, so primal, it was like a physical force. He gripped the edge of the desk so hard his knuckles turned white.He watched, his stomach twisting into knots, as George violated her. He wanted to scream, to reach through the screen and rip George apart, but he w
When George was finally finished, he rolled off her, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. Jessica lay there, broken and trembling, tears streaming down her face. She felt dirty, used, disgusted with herself. She wanted to scrub her skin raw, to erase the memory of what had just happened, but she knew she never could.George sat up, adjusting his clothes. He glanced at the camera, then back at Jessica. "Send it to Jayden," he instructed Johnson and Mark, his voice flat and emotionless. "Make sure he gets a good look.""Yes, sir," Johnson replied, picking up the camera. He gave Jessica a quick, pitying glance before turning away.Mark nodded. "We'll take care of it, sir."As the two men left the room, George turned back to Jessica, who was still sobbing uncontrollably. He leaned over her, his eyes cold and hard. "Stop that noise," he hissed. "Or I'll have them come back and take turns. Do you understand me?"Jessica flinched, her sobs catching in her throat. She nodded weakly, unabl
"Morning, George," Jessica mumbled, forcing a smile as he entered the room. She was perched on the edge of the bed, trying to look casual, like she wasn't an hostage. It had been a week since he kidnapped her and since she last saw Jayden. The thought of Jayden sent a fresh wave of panic through her, quickly masked by the practiced indifference she now wore like a second skin."Morning, Jessica," he replied, his eyes scanning the room, lingering a little too long on her. "You slept well?" He asked, confirm the awkwardness in her behaviour these days, it was obvious she was up to something he didn't know about but would find out."Like a log," she lied, inwardly cursing him. Sleep had become a luxury she could barely afford. Nightmares of Jayden's worried face and George's angry eyes, plagued her every time she closed her eyes.He nodded, seemingly satisfied. "Good. I have some things planned for us today."Jessica's stomach churned. "Oh?" she asked, trying to keep her voice light. "Wh
" Hire a team of specialists, individuals with a unique set of skills, men who would be able to track George's location through a phone call. I mean, this is possible with vast expanse of the internet today " He told Ben crossing his legs. "This is my last hope of finding George." He said to himself inwardly, realizing they have literally done almost everything they could.In less that thirty minutes, about six professionals arrived his mansion with their various gadgets. They all looked scared as the walked into the living room and met Jayden sitting on the sofa staring at them. They all couldn't believe their eyes the moment they saw him; fear gripped each of them. "We need to try our best, else today might be the last day we'd see." One of them, Jack, whispered to another."Good day sir" They said in chorus."Do your setting up, we are beginning now! I'm going to be calling that bastard anytime soon" Jayden ordered and they instantly obeyed, bringing out their various gadgets from
The emptiness of George's apartment was a slap in the face. Jayden’s carefully constructed composure began to crumble. He felt a primal rage bubbling up inside him, a dark, consuming force that threatened to overwhelm him. He needed answers, and he needed them now. He picked up his phone, hoping that Joe had send a useful information. Opening the message, he saw his Joe holding one of George who appeared to be weak, it was obvious he had been tortured and beaten severely but refused to talk. Jayden sighed and shook his head, "He wouldn't speak regardless of whatever you do to him." He said out loud and thew the phone on his chair, waiting for Joe to call.An hour later, it was midnight when he returned to his mansion, the silence amplifying the turmoil within him. He couldn't bear to be alone with his thoughts. He needed to do something. He picked up, immediately dialling Ben's number. "Ben," he barked, his voice raw, "Why haven't I gotten any positive feedback, how long do we have to
Jayden was more offended by her confession, this was too much and there was no way he would let her go after hearing what she had just said. He was convinced that she knew something about Jessica's disappearance. "Where is Jessica?" He asked her, pushing her away from him."Jessica, that bitch. I don't know where she is but you know what she has been kidnapped." She responded and laughed again, grabbing a pillow beside her."Kidnapped?.By who and where has she been taken to?" Jayden asked her, forcefully taking the pillow from her in anger. He was even more angry that she was drunk but it was the only way to get the informations he wanted from her. "I don't know where she was taken to, but I'm sure George has her. Come to me now please." She cried."George? That bastard has the guts." Jayden yelled angrily immediately calling his men, who appeared in his room in less than twenty seconds. "Take this bitch and lock her up. Search everywhere in this country and get clue of where George
Jayden was stunned by not only her words but her confidence and courage to speak to him that way. Everything about her was fishy, he was trying to figure out things from her, which was the reason why he was enduring her stupid behaviours and words. He believed she has knowledge about Jessica 's whereabouts and his instinct never lie to him. "Sacrifices you have made for me?" Hhe asked her curiousoy, trying to get her to talk."Yes" Lillian responded, coming back to him while looking at him seductively as she continuously licked the bottom of her lips which Jayden saw as disgusting but he was going to endure as long as it was going to lead him to finding about Jessica."What are those sacrifices?" He asked, moving close to her and grabbed her waist. "It's time to play along bitch." He said to him self inwardly while staring nto her eyes like all the information he wanted was in there."Owuu, I like this." Jessica responded, placing her hands on his broad chest as she leaned her face c
Jessica remained quiet as she watch George get closer while she moved backwards. She kept on moving until she felt her back rubbing against the wall. She froze for a second, knowing that was the end, there was no place to escape to not anybody to call for help. She knew she need to brace up and accept everything that happens and will still happen until she gets what she wants and the revenge she deserves."What do you want George? What do you want from me?" She asked him, feeling disgusted that their body was now rubbing against each other."You know what I want Jessica, Al I want is you and you and you and you all over again." He said, licking the bottom of his lips while leaning his head closer to hers. "I can't wait to have you Jessica, I wish I could make a video and send to Jayden but I wouldn't want him to see my face. I want to leave him I'm frustration while he searches for you because you would never be found." He said, placing a forced kiss on her lips which she quickly wipe
