"Pervert!" Those were the words that came out of Jessica's mouth when the dashing young casanova ravaged her body with his eyes. Eight years later, she came back with twins and a deep heart filled with revenge and hidden affection. "Daddy, I don't think you are man enough," Gabby said, looking straight into Edwin's eyes with his emerald green eyes just like Jessica's. "Why?" "That's because you can't even get mummy to like you!" Abby responded, blinking her big hazel eyes just like his. Staring at his mini-version and the adorable girl version of himself, Edwin vowed to get Jessica back, the only girl that made his heart flutter. Even though he hurt her badly. What would happen when these two people finally meet amidst the grudges between them? Would Edwin Turner be repentant of all his wrongdoings and make amends with the woman he once spite? Or would Jessica Graves do all she can to destroy the only man who still makes her heart beat and the father of her kids? Or would those cute little angels bring together the enemies that happened to be their parents? The one with the strongest will wins.
View MoreOn a couch in an extravagant living room, a girl with flowing golden hair covered her face with a thick book and a laptop on her lap. Her slender yet well-manicured fingers were moving in an irregular pattern.
She was busy typing furiously, all her attention on the screen before her. Her whole body oozes elegance and style for a nineteen-year-old girl.
Her neck was covered in a thin rudded diamond necklace. Her wrist was holding a simple yet attractive watch and those luscious lips were squeezed into a pout as her focus was on what she was doing.
Tapping away on the laptop, she looked like a serious student studying for her upcoming exams but the reality was different.
"Damn it! Why can't I get past their walls? This is so damn frustrating! Haa! Just a little more, Jessy! You hate to lose!" The girl murmured to herself in determination.
A glance at her will draw you straight to those emerald green eyes that looked piercing yet strikingly alluring and those brows were so thick that it gives her the perfect look of a model.
She flipped her hair at random while burying herself in the laptop on her lap. She seems lost in whatever she was engrossed in.
"Jessy, get me the fried prawn from the kitchen," An elegant voice said, piercing into the musical tapping of the young girl.
Jessica Graves paused for a second before resuming her typing again. Why can't her mother just let her have her quiet time? She hates being disturbed. Besides, she can't stop now… just a few minutes and she was sure she would crack it.
"Mum, can't you tell Aunt Maya to do that for you? You know I am studying for my final exams," Jessica complained, still focused on what she was doing.
Jessica always wondered why her mother likes to prepare the meal all by herself despite being the wife of a multi-billionaire. They have more than a hundred workers in the huge mansion each assigned to different significant and insignificant tasks, yet she doesn't allow any of them to prepare the meals for the family.
According to her, it makes her feel fulfilled as a mother and housewife to cater to her family!
Pffffft! Who does that these days? That's one old fashion way of thinking as a Harvard graduate! But Jessica was sensible enough not to say anything or else… she doesn't even want to think about it.
" Baby, five minutes won't make you fail. Besides, you don't look like you are studying. What are you doing?" Her mother said, ignoring her complaints. Mrs Graves knew her daughter was not studying.
" Mum! Stop…"
Her mother chuckled before replying."Just get it for me already. And…drop that computer. We need to have our dinner"
" Mum, I am not…" Jessica tried to argue but her mother gave her a glare
She hated having meals when she was studying. Not that she was studying, nevertheless It distracts her! And right now her mother would never understand.
What she was doing was what brought her life! Ha! Only her father understands her.
"No excuses! Everyone is eating together today!" Her mother yells bringing her out of her thinking world.
Does that mean her father was back? Jessica pondered. Nah! Her mother was just saying that to make them join in the meal.
" Daddy is not back yet!" She said, confidently. She was still buried in the computer.
Then she said, silently tapping furiously." Just a little more and I will nail this bastard!"
Her father was not back yet because she had been sitting on the couch for more than four hours trying to crash that site!
Her father would only be back if he was invisible which was unlikely. He would always pounce on her each time he comes.
"Your daddy came back more than thirty minutes ago while you were busy digging in your laptop," her mother said, walking towards her.
Uh? Really? But wouldn't she have known? And her daddy would never pass her without her welcoming kiss!
" He even gave you your kiss! Seriously, Jessy, you need to stop losing focus as soon as you are with your laptop. I have told you several times…."
Oops! And there she goes again! Jessica rolled her eyes as she finally gave up before she would be drenched in her usual sermons.
"Okay, mum. I will go get the prawn and can you please stop lecturing me already?" Jessica quickly replied before running off to the kitchen.
"You little fox! Just get the prawn and set the table. Where are those little brats? Tristan! Kristen! Where are these children?" Mrs Graves said, leaving the sitting room in search of Jessica's siblings.
Jessica sighs as her mother leaves in search of her troublesome twin siblings. Those brats were lovely as well as devilish.
Maybe it was because her mother had them a little late. They were just nine years old but they can turn the house into a warzone in less than five minutes!
Getting to the kitchen, Jessica collected the prawns. She brought them to the dining table and arranged it for five people.
Her mother always seems to know the right time to butt in everything she was trying to crash a site. She had a bet with Winston that she was going to crash The States Bank for five minutes within three days!
Today was the last day and she was just a few minutes away. But her mother would always be the stumbling block! She has to win the bet or Winston was going to collect a hundred dollars from her!
But if she can win, then she was going to have five hundred thousand dollars! Confused, right? The thing is Jessica had a bet with five boys in her college and each was willing to part with a hundred dollars if she can win.
But if she doesn't, she was going to part with one hundred dollars! The money wasn't a big deal but then she hates losing!
Grumbling as she sets the dining table, she wished her father would have come home earlier. She would have been able to escape from her mother's clutches.
Whenever those two are together, they are always lovey-dovey and rarely part. Her mother would have called her father to assist her in the kitchen and she would have just crashed that site already!
She hears light footsteps from behind her, and a deep masculine yet warming voice fills the quiet dining room.
Huh? It looks like her mother wasn't lying after all!
She turned to look at her father but a glimmer of anger flicked through her eyes the next second.
Everyone was in a frenzy! It was the day of the wedding and Jessica's dress wasn't delivered yet. They didn't know if it was going to fit.Angela kept making calls and calls. She was in charge of the preparation. She was the one who chose the venue and the event planner.Jessica's mother had been around her as well. Edwin's mother was also around but she was a little wary around Jessica. They had apologized and Jessica had forgiven them but they still didn't know how to get along fully with her. Abby was even closer to Jessica during the period of the wedding. Seeing all the clothes that had been brought into the house, she totally assumed she and her mother were going to play a massive dress up game that involved Angela and her grand mums.By the eve of the wedding, the dress finally came. Jessica tested it and it was perfect."This is the only reason I'm giving a three star rating to your company!" Angela deadpanned. The tailors were very apologetic. No one knew that Edwin had call
Angela came out from nowhere to congratulate her for being engaged to Edwin. She hugged her tightly."Girl! You're getting married!" Angela squealed. "You know, I totally knew about the engagement and I shipped you guys! I gave him all the assurance he needed! You should have seen him. He was a sorry mess." Jessica glared playfully at her. "Oh so you knew and you refused to tell me? I knew something was fishy about the sudden request to go out."Edwin laughed and pulled her closer to his side. Before she could refute it, he turned her and kissed her deeply. Jessica's face went a very dark shade of red and she didn't know where to keep her face after being kissed like that in public."Pervert." She muttered."Baby, your husband to be? You call me a pervert? Do you know what this pervert can do to you?" He whispered. "I could make you scream, and in a good way.""Ahhh!" Jessica screamed and pushed him away, only to have him pull her back. Edwin held her tightly as if she was going to d
Edwin was recovering really fast, and Jessica was happy being around him. Being around him and the kids together made her feel like a wife.She would prepare breakfast in the morning, bathe the kids, feed them, and prepare them for school. Sometimes, Angela came to pick them up. Sometimes, she took them herself.Levi had been discharged but he was still recovering from the internal injuries. Jessica continued paying him because he had only entered that state because of the kids.Friday before the weekend, Edwin watched Jessica perform all her duties and his heart fluttered. He couldn't take his mind off the fact that she cared about him enough to stay beside him in the hospital, refusing to let him be touched by anyone else except her. She even learned to clean his wounds just so that she could take complete care of him."Why are you staring at me?" Jessica inquired. They were alone at home. "Isn't it time to change my bandages? I've bathed and they have not changed for three days al
Jessica took the kids to see their father. The moment of reunion was bliss for her. Although they didn't stay long, the warmth from their presence lasted till the day he was discharged.It was two weeks later. Jessica had informed Angela and her parents about the discharge. She wanted Angela to bring the kids to the hospital so that they could all go to Edwin's house straight.Angela was happy for her. She knew that it was a huge step toward their coming back together.Jessica was at the pharmacy, collecting his drugs and their prescription. Edwin refused to remain in bed. Although he couldn't move his shoulder or raise his left arm, he could actually walk very well. So while Jessica was busy downstairs, he packed their stuff with his one hand and went down to meet her, pulling the bag behind him.Once she sighted him coming, she quickly went to collect the bag from him."I told you to wait!" She scolded. "Why so stubborn?"Edwin chuckled. "I can walk. I'm not crippled. And, I'm too e
Babe, have you showered or changed since the accident?" Edwin asked."I couldn't leave your side," Jessica answered sheepishly."Well, I'm awake now. Go and shower and change and then you can return to stay with me." Edwin said. Jessica smiled. She went into the second part of the ward without much thought. Not long after, she returned with a different cloth."Have you had your changing materials the whole time?" Edwin demanded weakly.Jessica nodded."So why didn't you just change?"Jessica ignored his question. Couldn't he understand that she couldn't leave him for once Edwin tapped the space beside him. "Come lay with me." Jessica didn't waste any time. She was very exhausted too and knowing that he had survived the gunshot was able to keep her at rest.She lay beside him, careful not to touch any of the bandages or the IVs. Edwin however did not care and pulled her closer to his side.The two of them fell deep asleep. Each one takes out their exhaustion from being apart for such
Once they arrived at the hospital, Jessica watched as the nurses ran out with a stretcher where they carefully placed Edwin. They wheeled him directly into the theatre to prepare him for the operation. Jessica was invited in by the doctor before the operation could commence."Miss, I just want you to sign the documents for the operation and perform the transfer of funds." The doctor said, "There's no need to ask if you want it to be carried out because I can see that you will do anything to save your husband."Jessica tore a check from her checkbook in her purse and signed it. "Here, fill in the amount that covers the entire treatment. I just want him to be fine."The doctor collected the check and the signed paper from her. He ushered her to the waiting room while he went in to perform the surgery.Jessica didn't sit. She was pacing the hallway to and fro. Occasionally, she would make a silent prayer for his safety. Then she would sigh and begin to cry all over again. Her heart was b
It was morning already. Jessica's eyes were wide open. She hadn't slept a wink all night. She didn't just refuse to sleep, she couldn't sleep. As much as her heart was calmer, she still couldn't digest the fact that it was getting to 24 hours since she last saw her children.Edwin was busy making calls here and there, trying to use every one of his influence to find them.He received a call from his private detective."Hello, Mr. Turner.""Mr. Detective. Tell me you've found them." Edwin said tiredly. "Eh.. we found the location. I'll send them to you. I've also assigned some officers to get there as well. I will also ask you to be careful because that's the outskirts of the city. Anyone who could kidnap kids and take them there could be a maniac.""Alright detective. I'll be on my way right now." Edwin said.As soon as Edwin dropped the call, his phone beeped with a text message from the detective. Reading the location, he went to find Jessica in the kitchen fetching water to drink.
In no time, Jessica heard a knock on the door. She quickly ran to check. She found Edwin at the door. The man pulled her into a hug the moment he saw her. Jessica began to cry. Her heart shattered even more. The thought that her kids might be in trouble was a huge problem. "Edwin, my children! My babies! My babies are missing." She cried. "Find them! Find them!" Edwin hugged her. "I'm sorry, let me inform my investigator." Edwin dialed the private investigator immediately. He stepped out to speak to him. "Mr. Turner. I'm quite surprised to hear from you now. I have done what you asked me to do." The man said. "Not about that. Look, my kids are missing. I need you to help me find them." Edwin said. "I'm a computer hacker and software investigator, anything that happens in the physical world is not my job. You need to inform the police or hire a private detective." The man said. "Look, I need you to help me track the driver's number. I will report to the police, yes. But I want
Hannah was panicked. She pranced about in her safe house. She couldn't lose. She just couldn't lose!With vengeance in her eyes and a deep seated hatred in her heart, she ran out of the house.She took a cab to an alley. She knew that most of the people who worked for her father in their illegal business lived there. Getting them to do dirty work for her was easy since they were her father's workers.She stopped at the house of one. She knocked in a different style. Three - one-two. The door got unlocked but wasn't opened. She looked left and right to be certain she wasn't followed, and when she was certain of that, she entered."JP." She whispered. "It's Hannah."The man turned on the lights. He was holding a bat which he wanted to use in case the person was actually an intruder."Miss Hannah. What are you doing here?!" He demanded."I need your help. It's very urgent." "I'm sorry but your father gave orders that we must not be seen or heard. The government is watching us like a haw
