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
"Don't interface Jessica, I beg you." Jayden responded without apologizing to Dave who was looking at them. "That's the more reason why I can't remain with a man like you forever, you should really learn how to treat people right." Jessica said and looked away with her arms crossed across her chest. "Sorry about that hm" "Dave, my name is Dave love, thank you for apologizing on behalf of my cousin. By the way who are you?" He asked curiously. "She isn't your love Dave, don't ever call her that else you will regret it." Jayden threatened with his face squeezed. "Also, I do the Introduction when I want to, mind your business Dave." "Calm down cousin, you still haven't change. Thank goodness I would be leaving in two days time, can't deal with this toxicity. I preferred when we were much younger." He said resting his back comfortably. "That's because, I was only nice to you." Jayden retorted. "I'm Jessica." "Oh! What a cool name." Dave said smiling profusely. "Yeah, thank you."
