"So now he's approved of both of you and wants you to marry each other?" Jessie asked."Yes, and I'd appreciate it if both of you could attend my wedding." She gave a friendly smile to Din, who looked Jessie in the eyes.He got a nod from Jessie. At the very least, Kim would stop bringing up the topic.Kim and Din continued to talk after breakfast, while Jessie sat quietly and listened to their past. "Do you mind if I borrow your wife for a few hours?" She inquired as she rose from her seat. She looked down at her wristwatch to see what time it was. "It is time, Jessie." Her gaze fell on Jessie as she spoke."You certainly can," Din remarked. He also requires his own alone time, and Jessie's departure would encourage him to get more rest and return to work."Come on, Jessie." Kim took her hand. "Your husband has released you to me." She grinned at Din. "Don't miss your wife too much.""I will try not to." He smiled at Jessie. "Be safe and call me if you need anything." He watched Jess
It's too late! He'd overheard her. Why had she screamed in the first place? She had squandered precious seconds and attracted unfavorable energies to herself."Well, well," a confident voice droned.His posture exuded strength. His big shoulders were raised to the sky. He loomed ominously in Jessie's face, his Doc Martens legs astride."Who are you?" She cried. " Why have you brought me here?" She inquired.There was no response."I'm talking to you!" Jessie said angrily, raising her arms. His arm swung like steel and collided with hers in an instant. He grabbed both of her hands and lifted her up, her eyes bulging with fear. Her feet were dangling in mid-air."Don't irritate me, Lady. People who make me angry irritate me." He tossed her to the ground like a sack. As her damaged knee crashed to the concrete floor, Jessie winced, a white light of pain flashed across her face. He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her behind him, her hair stiff in his vice grip, like a hunter dragging
The man did everything he could to escape Jessie's eyes. He would lose a significant sum of money if he freed her. In that case, how would he feed? He wasn't taught to be kind. "If you're kind, you'll get killed." When he was taken in by the guy who had turned him into the person he was today, those were the first rules he had learned.His family was murdered because they were unable to repay the loan they had obtained in a timely manner. He had wandered aimlessly along the street and was discovered by the most vicious man who had raised him. He'd put him through his paces and turned him into a serial killer. He had no alternative but to exact revenge on the man who had killed his family, even if he didn't want to. He'd been taught to do precisely that. To kill so that he could survive, and so the lady he was with would have to die as well, as he was informed."Bring it in," As he turned to peer across the open door, his deep voice called out to someone. Jessie had assumed she would b
"How is it possible for her to escape? Nobody could walk by me in the room without me noticing them. Not even a roach. " In between his words, he took a step and killed a roach. He looked around the room, but there was no broken roof, wall, or window through which she could have fled."Do you think she might have passed..." Jordan gave a headshake. "Just forget it."The man yelled, "Speak up, boy," and Jordan pointed to the coved hole that Jessie had just earlier passed through."Find her, she wouldn't have traveled very far." Jordan sprinted away when he yelled.The man walked up to the hole and placed his hand there. He raised his hand to his nose and smelled the oily substance after noticing it. An ointment. He'd been deceived by Jordan. He got to his feet, reached for his gun that was hanging from his pants, and then left the room to look for Jessie. If the person who had ordered him to kill that woman discovered that she had escaped, he would be dead.Jessie had removed a ton of
As she took Jessie's phone out of her bag, she grinned. She gave Rocky's number a call. "Make sure she dies before tomorrow's sunrise."Without allowing him to talk, Kimberly abruptly ended the call. She felt like a queen as she carried on with her fictitious search. She doesn't need to be present for the action to take place. If she was, Jessie would suspect her, which was the last thing she wanted to happen.Well, even if she did suspect or saw her, she wouldn't be able to tell anyone about it because she wouldn't be alive to do so.Before getting on the plane to the Maldives, she had called Rocky. She had promised to give him a sizable sum of money.Why is it that she won't get the man she wants? Why can't she have the man she's always wanted despite having a lot of money?Why didn't he choose her? She was more attractive than Jessie could ever be, and she had plenty of money to support his business.She grimaced, clutching the touch light tightly in her hands. Din won't find her.
Din is only interested in seeing Jessie once more and doesn't want to hear anything else. He seemed to find no use in anything the police chief was saying. Until he found his wife, he would continue to do as he pleased."I'll return to the beach. I'll let you take care of the rest. " He gently touched the chief's shoulder before making his way out of the woods.Near the shore, Rocky threw Jessie to the ground. Slowly opening her eyes, she moaned with exhaustion. She struggled to lift her body up or move because of how much pain was engulfing her body. She extended a hand toward her head. She groaned once more, blinking as her eyes scanned the area where she was.She felt a drop of liquid dripping down her face and touched it. Her hand was covered in blood when she brought it to her face. She had been perplexed as to how she had become hurt, but then she recalled what had happened in the woods and how she had been struck by a person she couldn't see.Was it Rocky?She made an attempt t
The ambulance's siren blared as the rescue boat sped across the water and onto the island. As they crossed the water and entered the land, the police chief had made sure his hands never left Jessie's bleeding chest. Din's hand had been held by Kimberly.In order to help them breathe, Din and Jessie had been using oxygen."Put them gently in the car." The police chief had given orders. He turned to face Kimberly. "Make sure you stick by him, please. He needs his friend the most at this point. " While the car sped them both to the hospital, the chief left to deliver his report.The doctor said to Kimberly, who was tightly gripping Din's hand, "I need to meet their guildian before I perform the operation to take out the bullet in her chest." Jessie had been hurried into the adjacent room. "I want to see that woman's husband or family. She's married, right?" He asked.Kimberly turned to face Din, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed. "This is her husband," she pointed to Din. "The
James gave the man a tip. "I appreciate you telling me this," The man's words prevented him from turning around and walking away."That girl who clung to him was strange in some way."James questioned, "What girl?""The tall girl with the full lips and long brown hair who looks like a model." He clarified.James asked, "Kim?""I'm not sure of her name, but I don't like how I feel about her. She arrived at the island, and I saw her smile as Mrs. Cooper was loaded into the car. " He said."All right. Does anyone else know about this besides me? " James asked..The guard shrugged his shoulders. "Nobody, sir." He said."Okay. Keep what you said to me a secret from everyone. " James gave him a sizable sum of money so he would shut his mouth.Because the security guard claimed to have seen Kim smile, he would need to look into the matter further before blaming her. It wasn't clear from the evidence whether she had done it to them or not.After speaking with the security guard who had inform
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. "
