The lady began applying cosmetics to Jessie's face. As she applied eyeliner to Jessie's eyes, Jessie closed her eyes. "She has blond hair as well. She is petite." The lady could tell Jessie wasn't at ease as she spoke. "Would you like me to go on?"

"Yes. I'd like to learn more about this young lady. What is her name, exactly?"

"I'm not sure but he calls her babe," she said.

"Is that so?"

"They appeared to be in love." She went to refix Jessie's brows after applying the lashes.

Jessie stated, "I want gentle make-up."

"I didn't intend to make something hefty. You don't need much makeup on your face because you're already attractive."

Jessie blinked open her eyes. "Is it always quiet here? It appears to be too big for just one person."

The lady smiled. "Whenever Mr. Cooper brings the girl over, he usually buys this place out. I'm the only one that works on her, and he doesn't want anyone else to know what he's up to, so he pays them not to show up. He probably doesn't want them to talk a

    The woman sitting next to Sierra cleared her throat. "Cedric, won't you introduce me to her?""Abby, please accept my apologies. It completely slipped my mind. I was so excited about Jessie being here.""So, because of your new granddaughter-in-law, you forgot about me?" She rolled her eyes and teased."Abby, don't be like that. You know how much I adore you." He fixed his gaze on Jessie. "My wife to be. Abby.""It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Cooper," Jessie spoke with a warm voice and a smile on her face. Abby had won her heart at first sight.Din scowled as he heard Jessie utter such things. He was not in favor of the union. His grandfather married his second wife Felicia after his grandma died of illness four years ago, but Felicia departed after stealing from him and fleeing the country. Cedric and she are always at odds. Cedric, she claimed, was self-centered and only cared about himself and his career, not her, and now Abby had entered the picture.He and Sierra both dislike

    Din remembered his conversation with Jessie the night before. She sounded like she was sucked into the downpour. Perhaps that was the source of her illness.He and Sierra escorted Jessie into the house and showed her to her room. Jessie was too unwell to gaze at the mansion she admired.She just wanted to get out of that gown and sleep for a while."Be gentle with her," Sierra said as Din assisted Jessie into her bed."I'll contact the maid to see how she's doing," Din stated as he approached the open door.Sierra said, "No Din, contact a doctor," and Din nodded. "I'll stay with her till he gets here." Din walked out of the room after she assured him.After Din left the room, Jessie took off her clothes so she could breathe freely. She was carefully placed on the bed, her legs covered by a blanket. "If you weren't feeling well, you should have told him no when he invited you over for supper."Jessie coughed, followed by a sneeze. "I was completely unaware that I was ill.""How could y

    "She is doing fine now," Sierra told Din, who was sitting on the couch in the living room with his hands about his head. Din gazed at her with his eyes elevated. As he rose up, he sighed."She just arrived, and she's already causing too many problems.""Din, don't say things like that. She is also in pain, but I am relieved to report that she is presently doing well. You may go to your bed." Sierra patted his shoulder and murmured.Din stood there watching his sister walk into Jessie's room. He grimaced as he looked for his room as well. She's already making him worried about her after only a few hours in his house. He despised the sensation.He was still in bed after a few hours of sleep when the day broke, and he couldn't get much sleep because of Jessie.He had a short night.Din tossed and turned before finally opening his eyes. When he went to bed and woke up, all he could think about was Jessie. He didn't care for her, but he wanted to know how she was doing and if she was okay.

    Jessie placed her phone on the table with care. Sierra caught her gaze. "That is my closest friend. Do you have a best friend?" she asked.Sierra shook her head. "What do you think my age is?" She asked."Sierra, believe me, no one is too old to have a best friend. I'm 26 years old and my dearest friend is still at my side and we have been together since we were just kids.""I'm 25 years old and have never had one. My only best buddies are Din and Kelvin. James too. Except for Henry. We have a strained relationship. He doesn't get along with anyone, only his wife. It's as if she had him under her control.""Really?" Sierra nodded as Jessie inquired. "Your relatives are fascinating.""Jessie, I'm not sure about that." Sierra laughed."When Din returns, I shall express my gratitude. Thank you for taking such good care of me.""Why not? You are family."***Din looked up the station where he was supposed to pick up Bev on his phone. His sister pressured him emotionally once more, and he

    Jessie's words had caught her off guard. It had been eight years since they had been together. How could things have gone so wrong in just one day? "How did that happen? He was a pleasant person. Did you end your relationship with him because you found someone who is wealthier than he is?" Bev had inquired."I didn't do it. What do you take me for?" Jessie inquired. She let go of Bev's hand."What occurred after that?"Jessie sighed once more. "Marco wasn't the man I had expected. The night I wanted to chat to him about my career, he finally showed me his true colors.""Did he say anything?""He made fun of me, Bev. He mocked me. I felt broken for the first time in my life."Bev felt sorry for her older sister. Jessie had always made her feel sorry for her. Jessie had been so kind to her and made sure she could go to college despite her incapability, and Bev will be always thankful. Jessie had experienced things that girls her age shouldn't go through."Is mama aware?" Bev had inquire

    The next morning, Jessie awoke quite early. She was already back to her old self and able to function normally. Her illness had already passed. When she was finished cleaning herself up, she went to the kitchen and cleaned all the dishes. She made sure she had breakfast ready before seven o'clock.Din awoke at that hour and prepared for work. He was used to seeing Beth on his bed every Monday morning when he woke up, but he didn't see her this time. He had stopped calling her since she had refused to pick up his call the last time, and he had decided to give her some space.He got out of the restroom and dried off before putting on his shirt and pants. He went with blue for his shirt and pants and suit, light blue for the top and navy blue for the pants and suit. Before leaving the room, he fixed his tie and checked himself out in the mirror again.He was the type of man who doesn't eat breakfast before going to work, and the maids in the house were well aware of this, so they didn't

    Sierra had called the head maids after breakfast and asked them to return home before she went to see Abby. Bev had gone out to meet up with her friends at a neighboring coffee shop along the estate, while Jessie returned to her Telemundo. Sierra had denied Jessie's request to accompany her to the clothing store to get a dress for Abby. She checked the clock while pausing the movie she was watching. She exclaimed, realizing she had lost track of time while watching a marathon of episodes. She had no idea if Sierra had finished shopping for Abby's outfit or if Bev was still having fun at her friend's house. Jessie went to get some clothes from her closet. She might erupt if she remains in this house much longer. Her mind and body might disintegrate. She'd been staring at the screen for hours, and Taylor had always warned her about the dangers of staring at a screen for hours without going for a walk or doing any exercise, both of which she had missed that morning due to Din Cooper's

    Jessie coughed and pointed to the door. "It could be Sierra or Bev," she laughed nervously. "I'll go get it." She returned to the door and pushed it open. A woman with blond hair stood in front of the door, her gaze falling on Jessie. She was slim and stunning, but Jessie had never seen her before. Din's friend, most likely even though she was too pretty to be one.Immediately, Jessie has a negative impression of her."You must be Jessie," she said softly with a dangerous smile on her face."You know who I am?" Jessie inquired of the woman, who nodded. "I've come to see Din Cooper. Is he back from his work?" Jessie opened the door wide enough for Din to see who it was from where he was sitting after the lady asked. Din quickly stood up as she looked across at him. As he approached the door, Jessie exited and went to her room. "Beth?" Din called the lady's name. He was surprised to see her. After ignoring his calls for days, she suddenly showed up. Jessie could hear him. He wasn

    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. "
