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
Jessie reconsidered her previous decision. 'For her mum and sister alone.' She spoke quietly. She'd be free of this pain in a matter of months. Her hands moved slowly to her lips as she felt them. Din Cooper's kiss was all she could think about and was all she could feel and she doesn't think she'll be able to forget it for the rest of her time in the mansion."I advise that you stay the night." As she led Din into the house, Beth linked her hand through his. He'd remained at the doorway, motioning her to enter earlier, but she'd hesitated until the rain began to fall."This is unbelievable." Din walked into the house. "There was no indication from the weather that it might rain tonight." "I'll prepare you a cup of hot tea. Make yourself at ease." After taking off her heels and slipping into her slippers, Beth dashed into the kitchen. Din had gone into the house before, but this time something felt different. When he checked the time on his watch, he was feeling worried. Something
The voice suddenly came back to her and instructed her to leave the room, and she realized she shouldn't have been there in the first place. What if she was discovered? What would she say she came to Din Cooper's room for, or what if Din Cooper himself met her there? What would she say to him to justify herself? Jessie immediately placed the album in the cabinet and exited the room very fast, but she also didn't notice the framed portrait had dropped to the floor and broken.Jessie was panicking on her bed at 6:11 a.m. when she heard the door open. Her blanket was slung over her head, and she prayed while clutching it closely. Din wouldn't notice anyone in his room while he was gone, she hoped. She had set up and left his room just as she had seen it. She hasn't gotten much sleep since she awoke at five a.m. to get some water and also entered Din's room. Din had entered the house discreetly, closing the door behind him. He doesn't want to wake anyone up with his presence. He'd been
Sierra lowered her shoulders after lifting them. "Jessie, it's obvious." As she walked away, she said, "I think you did something wrong."Jessie breathed deeply. If he did discover she was in his room, why wouldn't he scold her? Din Cooper always constantly came up with new ways to torture her, but this time was different. He has to be up to something new.After her talk with Sierra that morning, Jessie's phone rang the moment she walked into her room. When she checked to see whether she could pick it up, it was an unknown number. She paused before answering the phone, and when she did, she heard an old, sluggish voice speak. She recognized it and was perplexed as to why Din's granddad had contacted her. He'd expressed an interest in seeing her and asked if she could see him in his mansion right away to spend some time with him.Jessie sniffed as soon as she set the phone down on the table. She had agreed to pay him a visit when she finished her chores. Bev wouldn't find it difficult
She shook her head. No way, she's not going to let that happen. She needs to be selfish and also think about her family. "Granddad, I don't believe that's a smart idea. He's only recently married, so entrusting him with such a large responsibility isn't the best option." she said immediately.He smiled and nodded. With what she was saying, she was making sense. "What do you think we should do?" His attention was fixed on her. Waiting for her to speak. "How about arranging for both of us to go on a honeymoon?"When she proposed, Jessie's side lips curled. She'd be confident that he'd agree with her. "Honey moon?" Din's grandfather inquired. Jessie smiled and nodded. "You mentioned that he needs a vacation and that you wanted him to be happy again. right?" He gave a slow nod. "But how can we compel him to leave? And, in your opinion, where is the best place to go?" Jessie came to a halt in her chair "Granddad, you can leave that to me. I'll get back to you as soon as I have more in
Din sniffed once more. "I know this seems insane, but what if I told you that I've been losing my mind since the day I had her kiss me?""What?""Since Jessie arrived at the mansion, a lot has transpired, and I was furious with her for disrespecting me, so I retaliated with a kiss. I was sure it was the only thing that would irritate her.""Then you did it,""Then I did it and It felt great annoying her." Din's phone buzzed that minute and he picked it up to check who had texted him. He grimaced as he quickly tossed it down.Will was able to tell who it was from. "Your grandfather?" He asked.Din frowned and nodded. "He wants to meet up with me and Jessie,"***Around 10:30 p.m., Jessie received a call from Din. She had waited for him to return home and had slept off on the long couch. She took up the phone and answered it with her tired voice, but she wasn't expecting to hear the voice of someone else. Williams had introduced himself and informed her that he had Din with him and the
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. "
