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."
Eva stared at Jayden without knowing the response to give as it seemed like her brain suddenly stopped working. Her heart beating rapidly as she feared that Jayden might have heard what she said. That moment, Eva wished she could read his mind before giving an answer. She hated the look on his face, since it was really serious."Why am I acting like I was caught red handed doing something bad. Brace up Eva, you are above this, you shouldn't be scared of Jayden anymore." She tried convincing herself inwardly still looking at him."Did you suddenly go dumb all of a sudden?" I asked when you are leaving my house, you have over stayed your welcome." Jayden said, sliding his two hands inside his pocket with his eyes still fixated at her. "Hm, soon." She responded, looking away from him." Soon? Soon is when? " He yelled at her."Next week, no hm Next month? Or rather next two months yeah. If you could.""Shut up! You are leaving my house next month so prepare yourself and go find somewher
Jessica was beginning to doze off while waiting for Jayden to be out of the bathroom, she wanted to apologize for her actions, knowing that her acting nonchalant only made him upset. After waiting for a while, she got tired and laid on the bed with her two eyes closing while she kept on resisting the sleep.Jayden eventually came out after spending about an hour in the shower, just allowing the warm water from the shower run through his body while he kept on thinking about a whole lot of things. Just yesterday, one of his men got killed by an unknown mafia group and an picture was sent to him. All effort to locate the sender proved abortive. What scared him even more was the message also came with a threat to kill Jessica and his unborn child.He walked into the room and Jessica who was sleeping peacefully on the bed caught his attention. Jayden walked close to the bed and sat beside her, staring at her face without looking away for even a second.Slowly, his eyes moved to her stomach
