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
Rocky was breathing heavily as James continued to press harder on his chin. He was hurting. James used more force as he thought about what Rocky had done to Din and Jessie."You are going to kill him." When Anthony saw that Rocky's nose was bleeding, he said."Unless he speaks first." He turned away from Rocky and looked directly into Anthony's eyes, smirking, "I'll have him broken in no time.""James, you're acting too sensitively. Release him." Anthony said calmly.James continued with more force, "Just a little more." In agony, Rocky was grunting."I said, let him go!" James gave Rocky's chin a break after Anthony yelled, but he hit Rocky's cheek right after. "Okay, let's leave, James. You're clearly upset." Anthony came over to him and dragged him from the space. He asked, closing the door, "What was that back there?""If you hadn't interfered, I could have gotten him to speak." James said. He wasn't sure if he should scream or keep his composure, but he couldn't."James, I'm doin
Before going to bed, James double-checked the monitor and saw that her heart rate was normal.He was awakened the following morning by the sun's glare entering the room through the window. Before the doctor entered the room to perform a follow-up examination on Jessie, he was up and prepared.In addition to remembering Din's credit card, Kim had left James messages informing him that she had left the hospital to retrieve their belongings at the hotel. A police officer had operated the speed boat and returned it to the island.Before purchasing a second plane ticket for noon, James gave the doctor the time to finish the task they entered the room to complete."You must give this to the paramedics on the plane you will be boarding." James received the paper from him. 'It's a medical report. When they read it, they will comprehend the patient's situation. I will prepare them both for the flight."James said, "Thank you, doctor. After the doctors had left, he yawned and walked out of the
After dressing it, he placed Kim's hand on her lap tenderly. "Thank you." Kim said. James smiled and nodded as he cleaned the stained knife."I'm going to hang onto this." He was referring to the knife, which he kept in his pocket and had been bandaged so it wouldn't hurt anyone. "I didn't know your mother passed away. My condolences for that."Kim shook her head. "Don't be. I held my father responsible for completely forgetting about her.""I thought Mrs. Ghorsy was your mother when I saw the way she treated you.""I don't even resemble her at all." She laughed."Well, you've got her nose." He teased Kim. "No step mom has ever taken care of their stepchild in a good way the way Mrs. Ghorsy did. If you hadn't said it, nobody would have known that she wasn't your real mother."I agree that she is a good woman who has always supported me in the same way a mother would. Every time my father yelled at me for being reckless, she stood by me.""Cherish that. She is a good person." Kimberly
Jessie was a brave girl, and she wouldn't die. Bev knew something serious was going on because James had instructed her to call her parents, but she was too afraid to inquire as to why Din and Jessie had ended up in the hospital.James made a complete 180-degree turn and headed straight for the hospital. Sierra, Abby, and their grandfather had driven to the hospital in a different vehicle and were early.Since the case has taken place in the Maldives, James doesn't have a say in it. The officers of that island would take care of it, which made him even more angry that there was nothing he could have done to get the truth out.For Bev, he felt bad. The news about her sister had to be delivered to the young woman. He was unable to explain to her why her sister was in that state. He lacked the courage to tell Bev that her sister was hospitalized as a result of a gunshot because of how he had earlier witnessed her cry.He stopped the car and said, "We have arrived." Bev blinked open her e
Bev could be seen resting her head on the lap of her sister, Jessie, as Sierra passed by Jessie's closed door. Since she had been in that room for so long, she had probably dozed off.Sierra felt bad for not telling Bev about her sister. She was also sad, and if someone had neglected to inform her of the same news regarding her brother, she would have also become enraged with them and avoided them in the same way Bev had.James muttered, "Poor girl," as he observed Bev's head resting on Jessie's legs. He looked down into Sierra's eyes. "Abby will be taking granddad home. You ought to return home and get some rest as well.""I can't do that. I must remain here with him. He is all I have." sadly, she added."Hey, Hey." James knelt down to her level and put both of his hands on her shoulders. "Don't speak that way. You have us here. Granddad, Kevin, and I are here for you. It shouldn't be necessary for you to keep this suffering to yourself. When you want to nag, talk, or cry, we are her
"To shovel food into your mouth in that manner, you must be extremely hungry." Bev hurriedly placed the food from the plate into her mouth as Taylor helped her clean her stained mouth."I've been starving for hours." As she took another bite, she spoke while still having her mouth full."Eat slowly and buy whatever you want. I'll cover the expense."After that, Bev remained silent as she concentrated on her meal. She made sure to order three plates of spaghetti, and Taylor let her eat as much of it as she pleased."I am terribly sad right now, but I think your mother should know about this. I understand that you are trying to avoid telling her in order to protect her health, but she still has a right to know everything because she is Jessie's mother." Immediately, Taylor changed the subject. "Did you know what happened to her?" Taylor asked."No." Bev gave a headshake. "No, not at all. James didn't tell me. I was unable to ask him. All I wanted was to see Jessie.""I can see you care
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. "
