When Jessie heard a familiar voice approaching them, she couldn't speak. Taylor's eyes were also wide with surprise as she looked at her. Jessie whispered, "Take cover."

Jessie closed the door and switched out the light as Taylor dashed to the nearest bathroom. She walked into the bathroom to hide with Taylor.

They'd carefully opened the door and peered out through it. Until Marco turned on the light, they couldn't see the darkness. Marco arrived home early, which was unusual.

Taylor murmured, "There's a lady with him."

"I can see that," Jessie observed as she continued to watch Marco enter the room. Din, on the other hand, was able to listen in on their chats because she had failed to stop the call she was on with him.

Marco's expression was befuddling. "What's the matter, babe?" He was accompanied by a lady who inquired.

Jessie asked Taylor, "Babe?"

"The door was unlocked. Before I left this morning, I was certain I had locked it. Jessie had to have been present." As h

    Din's arms were wrapped around Beth when his phone began to ring. He was awakened by the phone call. He cocked his head to the side, his eyes wide open. And he thought who might have called him at that hour. He didn't have a client appointment, and he wasn't expecting his sister to call him at that hour. It's most likely an emergency.Before picking up his phone from the nightstand, he gently adjusted Beth's head off his arm and placed it on the pillow.Beth whimpered quietly as she tossed and turned, eventually turning to the opposite side.Din regarded the lighted number on his screen. He was aware of it, but why had she called him at 11:30 p.m.?"Miss Walker?" Over the phone, his drowsy voice spoke.Before exiting the room to answer the phone, he got out of bed and looked at Beth. When he arrived home that night, he'd never mentioned the chat, and Beth didn't bother to ask him about it either. He was relieved that she didn't mention Jessie's name.They'd cuddled as he'd promised, a

    Around 8:45 a.m., Jessie received the address for Din's company. In truth, it was the beep from her phone that jolted her awake.She'd resumed her talk with Taylor and they'd eventually gotten around to arranging the room the night before when Din abruptly ended the call before she could say anything else.Taylor had advised her to visit him and at the very least hear his side of the statement before finalizing the divorce.Jessie, on the other hand, was terrified of what would happen if she went to see him. She despised the man she was now married to, and she was well aware that if they ever met again, they would fight.She reprimanded Taylor for everything that had occurred. Din Cooper would not have married her if she hadn't gone to Vegas.She sighed and pushed her hair out of her face.When she got out of bed, her feet hit the cool ground. Before going into the bathroom to clean up, she yawned and stretched.She and Taylor had gone to bed around 1:30 a.m. the night before. Marco A

    "Do not refer to me like that!" Jessie screamed when he said those words.Din lowered his gaze to the woman he claimed to despise. Unlike the silver dress, she wore at the club in Vegas, the pink sweater she wore covered all of her figures. It was the first time he saw her with her hair down. He'd always seen her with her hair in a ponytail or a bun, and that's how he saw her in pictures and Vegas.He thought she was dashing and lovely. He was the kind of man that all the ladies desired, but Jessie Walker, no, Jessie Cooper, was making it difficult for him.He took a step towards her. "Why shouldn't I?" With a sweet voice, he inquired. They were both close enough. Her hair was stroked by his nose. He could only smell banana-flavored shampoo.Half of him wanted to take her hand and pin her to the door so he could kiss her once more. He'd been missing the way she tasted. The other half despised her. At least, that's what he thought.Jessie stepped back three steps from him. And she rais

    "Thank you very much, Mr. Ghorsy. I can tell you're a big fan of this automobile. I'll send one of my staff to you to fill out some paperwork, and then you're free to drive away." Din got out of his chair and reached out to shake his client's hand.Mr. Ghorsy stowed the manual in his bag and took Din's hand in his, pulling them both to their feet.Din escorted his client to the entrance. "Mr. Cooper, I like you a lot. Why don't we get together for supper this weekend? I'd like you to meet Kimberly, my daughter." Mr. Ghorsy cracked a wry grin."Kimberly?" Din inquired. He remembers Kimberly as a young girl, and the last time he saw her was when they were both children."The way I see you do things indicates that you are still single and in need of a partner, so please consider it. We've known one other for a long time, and I'm one of your most important clients as well as your grandfather's friend." He chuckled once more. "You may invite her on a couple of dates and see how things go.

    Williams had sent Din a message after work the next day. Din had driven over to William's bar as soon as he was finished for the day.They had both seated at the bar and spoke over drinks. Will couldn't figure out why Din wanted to take Jessie's job away from her."You know, she's a nice girl right? You should think about it." Williams's brow furrowed."I need her." Din smirked."Why?""Will, for the company. Attempt to keep up. Jessie is someone who my grandfather wants me to marry, as you are aware. We married in Las Vegas.""What?" Will's mouth dropped open."I couldn't tell you because I didn't have time, but that's not the point. I value the company above all else, and you can bet I'll go to any length to get it." He cupped his hands about his head."How about Jessie? Did you consider her feelings?" Will drank from the cup in front of him."It makes no difference. She will be compensated." Din rolled his eyes. "All I have to do now is get her to come to me and ask for help, and I

    "Step away," As Beth stooped down to pick up the broken pieces, Din said. "I'll have one of the maids clean things up for me. Come along with me." He walked her over to the couch and sat her down softly.Beth was still taken aback by what she had heard. Din had already married someone else. Of course, she'd told him to marry her and then divorce Jessie when he'd gotten the company. That had been the plan all along, but why was she now uneasy?Her hands were sweaty and quivering, and her legs were trembling. Din clasped her hands in his and smiled. He patted them gently, forcing her to look at him. "I assure you, I have no feelings for her.""I understand." As she stared at him, Beth attempted a smile."Then why are you so concerned?" He inquired."Din, I'm sure you'll end up falling for her. What if you fall in love with her after she moves in? What if you ignore me and go see her? What should I do then? How do I feel then? Please respond."He could hear her voice trembling. "I will n

    "I'm really looking forward to tonight," Jessie exclaimed. Taylor was shown a dress she had chosen."What do you think about this one?" Taylor shook her head as she asked, "That's the sixth time you've declined. I don't have any dresses left to wear at this moment." She put the outfit back in her closet. "I also don't have the funds to purchase new clothing.""If you had accepted Din Cooper's offer, you wouldn't be saying this.""What? How could you say something like that to me?" Jessie headed to the bed after closing her closet. Taylor sat next to her."Let's be honest, miss. You would have been swimming in money if you had decided to marry him, and you would not have complained about clothing. You might have millions of dollars worth of high-end clothing.""I'm proud of myself, Taylor, and you know it. That kind of man is unacceptable to me."Taylor exhaled deeply. "It's simply a convenient marriage, Jess. Six months will pass in no time, and you will have filed for divorce and be f

    "How could Marco have done such a thing to me?" Jessie inquired as she left the store. "How could he fool me like that? He fooled me by convincing me that I was unique and buying a forgery that looks exactly like the real ring?" Jessie took the ring and was about to throw it away when Taylor intervened."He's a jerk, but don't throw away the ring." She gave advice."Why?" Jessie inquired. "It's a forgery. How am I going to use a fake? What am I supposed to use a fake ring to do?""Hand it over," Taylor said, and Jessie did just that. "I'll get you a dress for tonight's performance. We need to return home. It's almost six o'clock." When she realized how upset Jessie was, she sighed. Who wouldn't be, right? Jessie recently discovered that the man she thought loved her gave her a false ring. "Don't let this dampen your spirits today. You must put your best foot forward and win people's hearts. Okay?"As they got into the car, Jessie gave a hesitant nod.Taylor retained the ring when she

    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. "
