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
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
