"Aunt Billy?" Still unable to believe what was happening, Jessie continued to look puzzled. How could Aunt Billy have gotten there so quickly after being informed of the news? As her hand was placed on her hips, she uttered, "Jessie. It is nice to see you again. Din's wife, you seem surprised to see me." They had first met at Cedric's wedding ceremony. Jessie had accidentally bumped into the older woman, who had red hair and fire eyes. Naturally, she terrifies everyone. She recalled how cold Aunty Billy was before James comforted his mother and revealed who Jessie really is.Jessie swallowed. "Aunt Billy Anne. Of course not. I'm not surprised. I am just happy I get to see you again." Upon returning to her senses, she went in for a hug right away. She felt awkward as she released herself. "What are you doing here?" "It's my hotel." "I know. I mean, what are you doing here at this time?" As soon as she entered the space, she turned to face Jessie. She was still looking at Jessie wi
"Have you got any red wine, perhaps?" He inquired with a warm smile. Crossing her arms over her chest, Jessie's brows lifted. "You are not room service. And do I appear to be the type of person who would have a glass of red wine in her room?" She wasn't ready to deal with another man. Not another one of them again. Din Cooper has already caused enough harm. "Hi, next door neighbor, I'm Nick Hamfrey." She is aware of who he is, of course. Mr. Hamfrey. The same man she'd seen a few hours before, who also had class and a broad smile, and whom the registrar had attended to before she."There isn't any red wine in my room. You can go downstairs to ask the registrar how you can get a bottle of red wine at the hotel. No doubt, she'll be delighted to help." Jessie tried to close the door, but Nick stopped her right away. "Relax, Miss." He said. Jessie paused what she was doing with the door and raised her head to him. "I just feel like talking to you. You know, I caught sight of you comi
Jessie entered the bathroom to take her bath the following morning as she was getting ready for the day. She didn't know her way around San Diego, so she had made the decision the previous evening after dinner to spend the rest of the afternoon reading a book before dropping off her clothing measurements at the registrar, as her aunt Billy had instructed her. After that, she would prepare for tonight's party. She performed the same ritual in the bathtub with Linda and the other members of the candle she had named, but this time the water was much hotter than it had been the previous evening as she bathed. It was getting close to December, and it was a chilly time of year. Jessie didn't typically wear a lot of clothing, but now that she had to guard two lives, she would need to wear more coats and sweaters. She grabbed a tape measure as soon as she exited the bathroom and measured her waist. She was shocked to see how much more she had added. Additionally, her breast size has grown.
The only thing she required right now was a doorbell, and it was the only thing that arrived. She had been genuinely bored all morning, but thankfully the party was about to start. She should finish up with this and go back to bed. Jess, try to have fun. Before leaving her room for the front door, she reminded herself of this. When she opened it, she discovered a man who had the same attire as the registrar. "Good evening, Mrs. Cooper. I was told to deliver this to you." He was holding a hanger, and Jessie got the hint that it was her clothes that were being brought to her. The man gave the clothes to Jessie when she reached out her hand. "Thank you." "The party starts at seven." He said this, then turned and walked away from her. With her dress, Jessie returned to her room. She took the cloth out of the bag it was packed in and spread it out on the couch. It exposed a long, lavender gown with long sleeves and an open back. She touched the fabric. "Perfect." She took the cloth wit
"Can I just have one dance with you, Mrs. Cooper?" He said with a sly grin. Looking into his eyes, Jessie was startled. He was grinning at her, but she was well aware that his smile was actually malicious. How on earth did he discover who she was? "You have the wrong person. I am Jessie Walker." She spoke so assuredly before turning away from him. As soon as she reached for the wine, she put it back. She was told not to drink because she was pregnant. She felt Nick's breath on the nape of her neck as he drew closer to her. He dissuaded Jessie from turning around before she had a chance. "Don't move." He whispered. "I am aware of who you are and your purpose for being here." Jessie made an indignant face. She dislikes it when people run background checks on her. "I cannot believe that because of your obsession with me, you have developed a curiosity about my personal life. I was aware of it. I knew that stupid smile of yours was actually evil." She can no longer stay at the hotel. S
"Jessie is pregnant?" Immediately after the paper fell to the ground, Din felt his heart ache. He was filled with so many inquiries. Why would Jessie lie to him? If she was indeed pregnant, why wouldn't she tell him about it? As he was about to stoop down to pick up the report from the ground, something caught his attention once more. He reached inside the cabinet for some paper, turned it over, and saw an ultrasound image of two tiny pebbles. Din uttered a gasp of disbelief. One after another, he carefully felt the images with his hands before sobbing. And Jessie didn't tell him that he was having twins? Anyone who had heard this news would have stayed. They would have been glad that they got pregnant for a billionaire, but Jessie chose to leave instead. Din suddenly had a flashback to their altercation. How could he not have understood everything by that point? Being pregnant wasn't in the plan, and Jessie was upset with him for it. No wonder she had been enraged with him for so
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" As he drew nearer to her, he stopped. The moment Jessie heard him say those words, her heart nearly burst. How did he learn that she was pregnant? Did Taylor tell him everything? She laughed jitterily while shaking her head. "What are you talking about?" Jessie scoffed. She would deny it all, and he wouldn't disturb her again! "I am not pregnant, Din," Jessie said. "Are you sure? Even though I have your pregnancy test?" Jessie was startled. "I know, right? All I wanted to do was find you." "Why, Din? I am happy. Without you." He handed her the ultrasound image and gave a deliberate headshake. "I am their father, Jessie, and denying it won't change that." "No. I am not pregnant." "Stop lying. I read it after finding it in your cabinet and it says right here." Her name was written there, and he pointed it out. "Jessie Cooper's pregnancy is 99.9% positive," he sighed. "I apologize, Jessie, if I interfered with your plans. I apologize for
Ecstasy can only be produced when sex and the heart beat in unison, and Din Cooper was prepared for that with his girlfriend. Although they may claim to be taking things slowly, sex cannot be slowed. As she shut the door behind her, Jessie grabbed his hand and led him into the tub. All she wanted at that moment was for Din to be inside her, whether or not they had morning breath. His neck was encircled by her hands. Indeed, it must be given! And he kissed her eyelids, then her lips, and the kiss continued. Later, he withdrew gradually.She groped for him as though she were blind. "Din, please, please--" She put her lips on his.His hands continued to caress her body as he kissed her once more. His strong and gentle hands began to stroke her—his hands, his lips, and his tongue.Gentle. Not frightening. knowing what he was doing. It startled Jessie when she felt her nipples rise."Shhh," Din whispered. "Don't worry; it's fine, shhh. Just unwind and pay attention to your body."She was
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. "
