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
Eva was the least person Jessica wanted to see at this point. There was a sudden look of disdain on her face as Eva got nearer and her find fills with various thought on why she was suddenly in jayden's room since she never comes into his room whenever he was around."Good Morning my Queen, how are you doing today?" Eva asked with a wide smile on her which looked extremely fake."I'm fine Eva, thank you." She responded placing her hand on her tummy as she rubbed it gently."Hm, I see you are fine indeed and I pray it last long." Eva said placing her hand on Jessica's shoulder while giving her a soft, gentle massage while only discomforted Jessica. " You are six months gone now and soon you would give birth to our baby boy." Eva laughed mockingly, stretching out her hands to touch Jessica's tummy, buy she stopped her."No please, don't touch my tummy. My child wouldn't want to many hands touching him." Jessica said and Eva only shrugged without insisting." Anyways I came to check up o
Jayden had already being informed about Jessica's predicament and was already heading to the hospital. He was still in a fight when he received the message from one of his guard. The desperation to be Jessica gave him strength, strategies and ideas to defeat his enemy and he succeeded and rushed to the hospital where she had been admitted.On arrival, he was informed that she was in the Intensive care unit and has been placed on a life support machine. He was so scared and hoped for her survival. He couldn't think straight and paced in front of the ICU center since he was allowed in.An hour passed and finally a doors stepped out. Jayden rushed to him immediately and demanded to see Jessica."I ask again where is she? I need to see her!" He screamed."She is fine but still unconscious, I'm afraid you can see her now. We also need to keep a close eye on her. Are you her husband? I have something to tell him." The doctor said."What?" He responded aggressively."Are you her husband?" Th
The moment she stood beside him, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him while he was still on the bed, he couldn't look at her straight into her eyes, he was too drunk and was seeing imaginable this."I'm sorry, I couldn't save you Jessica. I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most, I can't forgive myself for leaving you with this maids. When I get my hands on Ivy, I will do you the honour of killing that witch." He said biting the bottom of his lip in anger."Everything is okay now Jayden, I'm here with you always." Lillian said, placing a soft kiss on his cheek."So you wouldn't leave since there won't be any contract?" He asked excitedly."Yes, I won't". She responded with a fake smile relaxing impatiently on her face."I know ,I don't usually say this and it's a feeling I have never felt for any other person except you. I love you so much Jessica, I can't do without you,I don't want you to leave please. Stay with me regardless." He said bringing his face close
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
