"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
Jayden was indoor all day, he had no where to go neither did he have anything to do. He took a break and allowed his men handle everything. He needed peace of mind and rest. The death of his unborn child has left him in dismay and he could help but blame himself.He was too ashamed to face Jessica as he failed her when she needed him the most. Evening came by and it didn't cross Jayden's mind to pick up Jessica from the hospital.He was on his bed that evening, scrolling through a document on his laptop, when he heard a knock on his door. At first, he refused to respond not wanting anyone to disturb him. "Leave my room, I don't want anybody in here" He shouted, but heard the knock again and before he could respond, the door opened slightly revealing Jessica who stood by the door, staring at him. Her eyes was red and it looks like she had been crying the whole day"Why didn't you come to pick me up from the hospital?" She asked moving closer to him."I have no reason " Jayden responded
Jayden didn't listen which made Jessica wonder if he ever loved her like he claimed or he was only pretending just because if the child. She regrets everything and she blamed herself for also falling for him and stupidly coming back to his house, she should have gone to Williams and ask for help instead. "Jayden you don't have to do this, I will leave your house instead." She shouted as he push her out of him room and about to shut the door."Exactly! Just as I thought. Go ahead and do whatever you want, I don't care." He shouted ."Fine, I'm leaving and leaving for good since you don't want to see me around and don't even bother looking for me because you would never find me." Jessica yelled as he slammed the door on her face.Jessica sat on the floor for a while with hot tears rolling down her cheeks as she was filled with nothing but regrets. From the moment she decided to attend that party with her friends, her life has never been the same afterwards."I was so stupid to believe t
Jessica came into the dining room with Hailey and Khole. The aroma of freshly cooked pasta wafted as they entered making their mouth watering but they didn't want to show it and kept on discussing among themselves which got Jayden angry. "Why can't they keep shut? Can't they see someone is before them?" He said inwardly, staring at each of them one after the other but none of them noticed the look on his face.Jessica carried a large, steaming hot serving pasta, adorned with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a few fresh basil leaves. The eight men seated around the table looked up from their conversations, the moment she placed it on the table with their their faces lighting up with anticipation."Sorry for the delay." She said and they only nodded their heads in unison like they wear being controlled or were suddenly dumb.As Jessica began to serve the pasta, the men watched with interest. She expertly twirled the pasta onto each plate, adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a driz
Hailey was in shock by how rude Jayden was. She expected any behaviour from him because Eva had told her a lot about him and how ruthless he can be. She knew she was going to have a physical encounter with him one way or the other but she didn't expect it to be on her first day.She left the living room with a frown on her face, feeling so embarrassed. "He demands that you do it yourself Jessica." Hailey told Jessica without looking at her the moment she stepped into the kitchen. "He said that?" Jessica asked surprisingly."Well, yes he did." She responded angrily which could be easy detected from her tone."I guess people have to learn the hard way." Khole said, smiling profusely and withholding the laugh threatening to burst out."You think this is funny?" Hailey asked, moving closer to her slowly."No! Not here, Not now please." Jessica immediately said to them, pushing Hailey backwards as she took a few step forward but stopped.She took in a deep breath with her two eyes closed,
Hailey walked away boiling in anger as she headed to the Kitchen, hoping to find Lillian and tell her about Khole. The moment she got into the kitchen, the aroma from the food Jessica was cooking hit her nose and she suddenly forgot how angry she was, besides Lillian was in the kitchen."Hi Jessica, what are you preparing?" Hailey asked with a wide smile on her face as she got nearer."Jayden's favourite dish, Pasta. He has some visitors this evening and asked me to prepare something really good." Jessica responded with a smile stirring the pasta one last time before finally putting off the cooker."That's really nice, the aroma from this food is everything. I can tell it taste really good even though I haven't eaten it " Hailey said, patting her shoulder. "You must be tired." "You can imagine." Jessica responded. "Well it almost time and they might be here anytime soon, I would go and set the table now, would you like to assist me?" "I would love to but I wanted to use this evening
For a second, Lillian got scared with Hailey sudden change of attitude. She barely know anything about her and wouldn't want to involve in a fight with her or exchange words either. At that moment, Jessica walked into the kitchen, carrying the a bowl of tomatoes on her hand. "Jessica, lead this new maid to the maids room." Lillian instructed."But, you can obviously see I am" "Shut up! I don't want to hear any but, just do as I say." Lillian shouted at her. Jessica wasn't in the mood to argue nor exchange words, she turned to Hailey who was suddenly smiling again, like her smiling switch was turned on again. "Hi, I'm Hailey." She said smiling, revealing her white set of teeth."Jessica." "Hmm, You are Jessica." Hailey said with her eyes open as she kept on smiling."Yes." Jessica responded and chuckled as she began to walk. "Come on, let's go""My room is room 1" Hailey said to her."Room 1?" Lillian asked, laughing profusely. "Well , that's my room and there is no way that's your
Jessica ignored Eva and kept on walking, the last thing she wanted is a banter or and exchange of words with Eva. She increased her pace walking hurriedly to the kitchen in order to figure out what to prepare for Jayden and his guests by evening. She couldn't bother or care less about Eva or anything she had to say."I'm talking to you Jessica, you proud maid. Who would have imagined?" She said mocking while trying to meet up with her. Immediately she got close to Jessica, she grabbed her hands and pulled closer. "I'm talking to you Jessica, I see you must have grown wings and lack respect " Eva told her."Let go of me Eva, while I'm letting you to.," Jessica said to her, trying to pull her arms from her tight grasp."Or what? Huh? If I don't let you go what would you do? Beat me or kill me?" She asked, shaking her arms."Kill you? That would be great. I will take revenge for the death of my child you and you crew killed. Shockingly, Eva laughed out loud, letting go of Jessica arm a
Eva stood motionlessly, looking at Jayden who face was cold. His face turned a deep, mottled red and his eyebrows arched with hot blood running through this vein. She could see how angry he was to see her a d she wondered if Lillian had given her false information, just to make her come here and die. "That witch told me, he doesn't know anything about the death of his child and I can lie to him. My mission isn't complete if Jayden isn't destroyed." She said to herself inwardly, avoiding to look at Jayden as he got nearer."What are you doing here?" Jayden asked again.He turned this time, heading to his drawer and Eva needed no one to tell her what he was going to get. As she stood frozen, her eyes wide with terror, the color drained from her face, leaving behind a pale, ghostly complexion. Her breath came in short, ragged gasps, and her hands trembled like leaves in an autumn breeze. She couldn't help but think of Lillian who might have probably lied to her, just to get revenge beca
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
