"Jessica?" Mrs. Walker was startled to see Jessie standing in front of her door when the door opened. She had no idea that her daughter would return home so quickly. "Wait a minute, what are you doing here? It's very early. It's 7 in the morning." Being in the same room as Din was becoming intolerable to Jessie. She was furious about everything, but she refrained from yelling at him for ruining her life. "Good morning, mom." Jessie approached for a hug. She held her mother for a prolonged period of time while she resisted crying. As she slowly let go of her mother, she took a deep breath. "I have missed you." Jessie held her hands."Come inside. It is cold out there." Jessie approached the couch and sat down as Mrs. Walker shut the door behind her. She took another deep breath and looked around the house. She hasn't been home for several months. "Would you like me to make you some tea?" "No, mom." Jessie gave a headshake. She hasn't felt at ease with Din's silence for the past few
"Mom, I'm carrying his child.""What?" Her mother remarked slowly. She never lost sight of Jessie. "You are pregnant?" "Mom. Mom. Okay, so you can't be mad at me. Please, don't hate me?" "I don't hate you. I am just shocked.'' She continued to rub Jessie's hands. Oh Lordy, what a struggle her daughter has had to endure just to secure her future. "How old is the pregnancy?" "About a week and a half." Jessie nodded. "I didn't know until recently." "And he disapproved of the child? Was that why you were crying?" Jessie shook her head. "No. No mom. Din is unaware that I am expecting his child. I'm sobbing because I feel like my hard-earned future is about to crumble. I'll lose my future because of this kid. I can't let that happen. I can't let my future be ruined." Her mom heaved a sigh. "What are you going to do? Why did you not inform him? Do you worry that he'll reject your child?"Jessie was about to start crying again. If she knew Din well enough, he would tell her to keep the
Jessie nodded and flashed a quick grin. "I also don't want to do this, but I think it's best if we follow through on our commitments. I think it's best if we go our separate ways as planned. We're getting divorced in a week, so please let's keep things simple for both of us." He did nothing to halt her as she headed for her room. She didn't seem irate about the envelope at all. Her reaction wasn't going in that direction. If only she had spoken to him, he would have understood what he had done wrong to arouse her ire in this way.He heard the loud bang on Jessie's door and found his way to his room. Jessie sat down on the ground and sobbed, covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud. She was leaning her back against the door. She continued to cry. Din Cooper is the man she loves, but she is unable to tell him. Her mother was wrong. She would be unable to resolve this issue in any way. She would not be able to obtain Din Cooper in any way. He was never truly hers. Ev
"I'm amazed, Mrs. Cooper. You will give birth to twins." Jessie was left in the middle of confusion and questions as the sonographer's voice resounded in her ears.Jessie continued to blink. She was still unable to process what she had just heard. Twins? Two infants instead of one? "What did you just say?" Jessie questioned. "Mrs. Cooper, you are going to have twins." Jessie's heartbeat picked up speed. "You should be happy, Mrs. Cooper. This is complete joy." What knowledge does the sonographer have regarding her happiness? Jessie's hands started to tremble. She is still trying her best to love one baby, and now there are two. How will she do it? "Would you like me to print the picture?" The sonographer asked. Jessie was lost in her thoughts. "Mrs. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper?" On Jessie's shoulder, the sonographer put her hand. Jessie let out a gasp, jolting herself out of her reverie. She gave the sonographer a glance. "Would you like me to print the picture?" Again, the sonographer e
"So, Miss Walker, who is the lucky man?" Marco smirked. With her arms crossed, Jessie grinned. He shouldn't be asking about her personal affairs. He has no right to know her condition or the identity of the person who impregnated her. "Seriously?" She gave him a look. "Look, Marco. Although I am grateful that you saved me, don't you feel as though you are meddling in too much of my personal affairs?" "I am just trying to…" Jessie interrupted and shook her head. "No. Marco, you shouldn't do this. The moment you left me at the restaurant without turning around, our story came to an end." She was furious. Really enraged, but has their tale really come to an end? There was a spark Jessie felt the minute she saw Marco when he saved her. It was the feeling she had when they were still together. "You made it happen, Jessie. If you had listened to me, I…" "No. Stop." Once more, she cut him off and laughed. "Can we not get into this, Marco? Marco, I'm content with my new life. I am a marr
Jessie noticed a strange aura surrounding her as soon as she entered the house. Strangely, Din Cooper wasn't in the living room waiting for her. She went to his room and slightly opened the door. She looked into the gloom with the light turned off. As Din slept, she could hear his breathing. Jessie locked the door before returning to her bedroom. She was concerned for Din. Normally, he would have waited for her to arrive and inquired as to her delay, but this time he didn't. It had never happened before, but he fell asleep before her. She looked at the photo she had taken from the doctor one last time, then opened her cupboard and put it inside. Regarding what had happened today, Jessie felt uneasy. The meeting with Marco and the sudden love she felt. She adjusted the curtain that was set up to cover her window and walked back to her bed to sit down. After giving it some thought, she suddenly started crying. Nothing seemed to be getting any simpler. She talked to her kids while res
Before Din headed to his company, he went to pay his lawyer a visit. "Thank you, Barrister. I am glad you had the time to meet with me today." "Since you already informed me of it, I have prepared your file." He handed Din a document that he had brought out of his bag. "You'll be a free man once your wife signs the divorce papers," the lawyer said. He is not interested in being a free man. He still wants Jessie to stay as his wife. "Thank you, Barrister." Din reached for the file with trembling hands. He was still struggling to accept that his relationship with Jessie had come to an end. "Let her sign it tonight, then send the file back once she has." Din rose to his feet and reached out to shake the attorney's hand. After saying "thank you," he departed for work. Taking the papers out of the envelope, he sat down in his chair. He reached for a pen and hesitated before signing. Jessie doesn't love him. Those words would not leave his mind. Khalid's claim that Jessie had gotten
"Mr. Anderson, thank you for the purse." From her chair, Jessie got up. Taylor had a point. Marco continued to be a jerk. "Jessie, calm down. Why are you rushing to leave?" "Because my husband, Din Cooper, is waiting for me." With her head held high, she spoke. "I have to hurry back home to meet my husband." "But I just got here. Can't we at least have a brief discussion while you have your seat?" "Marco, I have nothing more to say. You have my sincere gratitude for both saving my life and returning my purse to me. Is there a way I can pay you in exchange for your kindness?" While Marco remained silent, Jessie opened her bag and pulled out a large amount of cash. She placed the cash on the table and asked, "Will this do?" Marco turned to face her. She has a sizable fortune to pay back Marco for the cash he has spent on her and her family over the years. Jessie was grateful for what had transpired for her over the previous six months. She was thankful she met Din Cooper. She had
Three months later…"Come home early today. I have something to tell you.""Really?" Din asked. They were both standing at the doorway. She was seeing him off as he prepared to leave for work. Din was prepared to sue Beth when the babies arrived three months ago, but Jessie dissuaded him. She claimed that she could have handled things worse if she had been the one, but Din asked for legal action not because of the video she sent but rather because of the money she stole from him. "She cheated me, Jessie. For this reason, I intended to sue her. I need her to pay the money back." He had said to Jessie so she would understand that this isn't about letting Beth go. "Din, you used to love her. You should let it go. She is already paying for what she has done to you." While gazing at her, Din sighed. He said, "Do you know how beautiful you are?" and she grinned. "You are really beautiful, Jessie." He kissed her on the lips. "Alright. Tonight I will see you, okay? This coming weekend, we
The month of March had just begun. The impending arrival of her children and Din's proposal on Valentine's Day made Jessie very happy. She'd been preparing her mind about having a fancy white wedding after a few months of childbirth. Din was a sweet man, and she couldn't stop loving him. They had also moved past their past, and they had been content ever since. "Do you like this yellow dress on me?" Din heard Jessie say as she turned to face him. She was getting ready for a Saturday picnic with the girls while he was on the bed working on his laptop. They would prefer to go on a picnic before she gives birth because they are aware that once motherhood begins, Jessie won't have the time to spend time with them. Din nodded. "You look good in everything." "I do." When Jessie got close to him, she kissed him on the lips. "I'm leaving right away. The girls will be furious if I come a little too late." "Alright. Have a nice day, my love." Din observed Jessie reaching for the door, but
"Din." "Jessie, are you okay?" Din properly set her down. "Are you hurt?" Jessie shook her head. "I am fine. Thank you," she said. Awkwardly, they both exchanged glances. Din wanted to scream his apology and beg for pardon, but he was interrupted. "You two are here together. That is really odd." When Sierra saw the two of them together, she said. "I was on my way to get you two downstairs. The New Year is quickly approaching, and it won't be enjoyable without the entire family present." She took both of their hands, and they all descended the stairs. Looking at the entire family, Jessie felt a strange sensation in her body. It's been days since she last saw them. Cedric didn't seem angry; in fact, he approached her smiling. "Are you two okay?" He asked. "We are fine, granddad." Din said. "Yes. We are. I asked Din to leave the room for a few days because I was dealing with so much with the babies and I didn't want to hurt him." She quickly laughed. "Hormones are to blame," "Real
In the blink of an eye, morning arrived. It arrived as quickly as a moving train. Din opened his eyes with a groan. Turning to his side, he looked out the window. He could also hear the chirping of birds and see the falling snowflakes and snow. Christmas day had just begun. He sat up and got out of bed. He didn't get to sleep in his own bed for the first time in a few weeks. In contrast, sleeping in the guest room was the worst experience ever. Din didn't get a lot of rest. He spent the entire night thinking about Jessie. He stretched his back and walked into the bathroom. There were extra fresh brush sets and a few plain tees in every room of the mansion. Din put on a plain t-shirt that he had taken. He wore the same pants he had on the previous day. Now that Jessie didn't even want to see him, there was no possible way for him to return to his room. He realizes that there is no way for him to proceed to the breakfast table. Jessie would be furious at him and would want to yell, a
Din was sobbing quietly while his head was resting on the door. Beth won't get away with this. He would track her down and hold her accountable for her actions. The outcome he didn't want has now materialized. Jessie despises him and doesn't want to see him again. He sighed, and just as he turned to walk away, he heard footsteps approaching. "Are you okay?" Din swiveled around to face James. Din had sobbed, and James could tell by the dejected expression on his face. "What is going on with you? Is it Jessie?" "I don't want to talk about it, James." Din turned and strode off. He opened the door to their floor's guest room, went inside, and shut the door behind him. There was no chance he could save this relationship at this point. Jessie is gone now. The rest of the family wondered why none of them appeared at the dinner table that evening. "This has never happened before." Cedric said. He turned to face Sierra. "Are they okay? Should we call the doctor? This is Christmas Eve. The r
"Is something wrong?" Din's gloominess caught Cedriec's attention. Ever since he informed him that Jessie was exhausted and had gone to her room, he had seemed unhappy. Din sighed. "I'm fine, granddad." On the sofa, he took a seat. Without Jessie, there was no chance for the game to succeed. When he saw Bev approaching, he stopped her. Din got up and led Bev over to the corner. "Tell me, is Jessie all right?" In all honesty, he had anticipated that she would scream or jerk her hand away, but Bev did neither. She behaved nicely. She nodded. "She looks fine to me. She is just asleep." "Thank God." Din breathed out. "Thank you for this information. I will check up on her myself when she is awake." Following a warm smile, Bev walked away. Din returned to the tree, and the contest started. With what Bev had said, he was happy. Just that alone gave him peace of mind that Jessie was doing well. Din assumed control of the situation and was requested to sing. He was initially hesitant, bu
Jessie switched off her phone and looked in his direction. She gave him that ferociously intense look tinged with hatred. Every part of her hated him at the moment, and all Jessie wanted to do was approach him and yell at him. She wanted to grab hold of his shirt collar and ask him what she had done wrong for him to even consider ruining her life. Has he always been this cruel? Well, she knew Din Cooper was cruel, but she never imagined that he would destroy someone else's life in order to achieve his goals. "Jessie." Din waved after noticing her fixed gaze on him. She didn't wave in return. She was staring at him, but she wasn't in the moment. He placed what he was holding on the sofa and walked over to her. "Jessie." He called softly, putting his hand on her shoulder to startle her from her thoughts. Suddenly gasping in silence, Jessie turned to face him. Her eyes widened. She knew exactly how to keep her cool in front of this man. The man she loves. The man who will become the fa
Standing by the tree, she couldn't help but turn to look at the young boy. Henry was a jerk when she last spoke to him three hours ago. How could he treat his son in that way? How could he behave in such a way toward his son? Jessie sighed as she returned to the room. The time for the game she had planned had already arrived. The door opened as she changed into a different outfit. She saw Din walking towards her. He embraced her and gave her a neck kiss. "How are you today?" He asked. Jokingly, Jessie rolled her eyes. "You ignored me the entire time because you were with your family." "That's not true. I kept thinking of you the entire time." And he was speaking the truth. Throughout those conversations he was having with his cousins, he had been thinking about her. Although he wanted to stay with her longer, he was unable to leave his cousin's side."Hmm." She whirled around and gave him a glance. She put both her hands on his shoulders. Jessie could tell from the expression on hi
The girls stood in front of the television as the Christmas song started to play, singing and dancing along. The entire time, Jessie was smiling and content because she had resolved all of her issues with Din. They both made the decision to be honest with one another and made a commitment not to keep secrets. That way, they can keep a healthy relationship. "Come on, girls. Cookies!" The girls ran to her with giggles as she approached them holding a tray of cookies. They each chose two before returning to the television. Ben made the decision to leave Jessie's company earlier that afternoon and head to his father because the games the girls were playing involved dressing up. She won't blame him, though. After all, he was a boy, and no boy his age wants to play dress up. "Psst." Jessie whispered to Silver. "Come here." Silver rushed over to her when she motioned. Jessie bent down to be on the same level as the little girl. "I need something from you." Silver asked with a mouthful. "
