Beth kept her smile on her face, but she was perplexed. She was concerned that her partner would lose interest in her and begin to adore the other woman. She doesn't want this to happen, but if the other woman moves in with him, they'll have to appear to be happy for the sake of his grandfather, and they'll eventually fall in love.

Din inquired, "Are you all right?"

"Uh?"

He said, "Your mind wasn't here anymore."

Beth gave a shaky laugh. "You ought to marry her. That is something I am not opposed to. I won't be concerned about anything as long as you agree to keep visiting me after you get married."

Din put his hand on her cheek and kissed her. "Sure, why not? I adore you. Even when I marry her, I'll continue to visit."

"Have you had the opportunity to meet her?" Beth was the one who initiated the conversation.

With a shake of his head, Din expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of "No, I haven't," he said.

"You haven't seen her?"

"I wasn't able to accomplish that. My gr

    "Marriage? Do you mean he wants you to get married?" Will asked as he opened a brand new bottle of wine that had been placed on the shelf. With two glass cups in his other hand, he approached Din."Before the end of the month," Din finished as he watched his pal approach him.Will threw the cups down and filled them. He handed one to his buddy. "That's fantastic news. Right? Beth is someone you've always wanted to marry. I'm surprised your grandfather has finally accepted her."With a shake of his head, Din expressed his discontent with the situation. "That's the issue. He wants me to marry someone else, not Beth." He took the cup of wine in his hand and downed it all at once."If not Beth, who else?" Do you have any ideas or Are you in love with someone else right now?" Din's cup was refilled by Will.Din shook his head. Disagreeing with his friend. "I told you earlier that two people would get on my nerves. Right?" Will smiled and nodded.

    "How much did my grandfather pay you?"Din inquired. "I will double the payment if you back out of this marriage."Jessie made a sneering remark. "You're a lunatic." She walked right by him and into the bedroom. "This is my personal space. This place's key was given to me by the receptionist. Perhaps there was a blunder somewhere.""Mistake?" Din approached her. He has his hands in his pockets. "You're attempting to play games with me, that's all I see. I'm afraid I won't be able to marry you. I am in love with someone."Jessie shouted, "Stop talking about marriage! We must have landed up in the same room due to a mix-up someplace. I have no idea who you are. I have no recollection of ever meeting you." She walked over to the table and took her purse. "I'll go over to reception and express my dissatisfaction. You are welcome to use the room.""I am not going to take this room. You've already visited this location. I'll just have to complain and ask for a different room. One that is larg

    Both of them took six to seven shots and discussed their issues. Jessie had already become a little tipsy. The music became a little more upbeat. "Let's go dancing. This music is fantastic." As she leapt from the stool, Jessie said. She grabbed Din's hand and led him to the dance floor.Jessie felt like she was floating on cloud nine as their bodies bounced back and forth. She was in the greatest shape she'd been in years. As she approached the table, she asked, "Do you want me to show you something?" Din was perplexed."Oh no," Taylor exclaimed as she stood there watching her pal scale the table. Her pal didn't have any slacks on. Din was approached by Taylor. "You just let her go? In that condition?""She desired it. What could possibly go wrong?" he wondered.Taylor made a point. "That."Jessie took off her heels and tossed them in the crowd. She let go of her tied hair and began shaking her butt on the table."Does she always act like this when she's inebriated?" Din was the one w

    Jessie spent the entire night on her stomach, her head resting on the pillow. When she opened her eyes, she saw it was already morning.She sat up and used both hands to support her head. She was in the throes of a hangover.She realized she was naked when she dragged the blanket across her chest. She gasped but didn't feel any pain underneath, indicating that she hadn't had sex with anyone, so why was she naked and how did she enter the room? She had no recollection of what occurred the night before, although she had hoped it wasn't the man she had met at the hotel. He was the obnoxious man who accused her of stalking him.Jessie started looking for her things on the bed, but something shiny caught her eye as she looked at her finger. She shaved her head to be able to see the object clearly.She let out a gasp. "Please don't be real," As she stroked the ring, she spoke in hushed tones. Her heart started to beat quicker. She examined the ring and discovered that it was made of plastic

    "That's something we'll talk about later." Din extended his hand to Will, expecting him to hand over the keys to his automobile.Will grinned and returned the key to Din. "I'm curious as to what transpired last night between you and Jessie." He made fun of Din.Din shrugged and walked over to the driver's door. "I have a lot of work to do. We will not tell anyone about what happened last night, especially Beth. Are we on the same page?""All right, friend. Have a wonderful day ahead of you." Will grinned as Din drove away.Din recalled what had happened between him and Jessie the night before. She'd passed out while he was trying to make out with her. He was also relieved that he hadn't had any sexual relations with her.He grinned as he obtained a piece of paper from the drawer. He flipped the paper open. Jessie had agreed to the marriage after they had both attended a wedding down the street. They'd both gone for a walk outside the club. Even though Jessie was a little tipsy, she'd

    That morning, Jessie and Taylor had arrived home at eleven-thirty. They'd set aside their differences, and Taylor had clung to Jessie's promise. She'd made a promise to herself that she would no longer sleep with her employer or any stranger from that day forward.Jessie had always been the responsible one, taking love seriously, but what about her? That's not the case. She doesn't believe in love and isn't interested in having anything to do with it. She is constantly baffled as to why individuals fall in love if it does not last. What was the point of it all, anyway?True love existed, and the man they loved would be there for them forever or be their prince charming, according to novels and movies, but they had lied because she had seen the men Jessie ended up with. They never lasted for long. They only intended to squander her time and further damage her before leaving, just like Marco Anderson."I'll be returning to Marco's house today. I'd have to remove my possessions from his

    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

    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. "
