Getting into her room, Jessica sat down on her bed, with her laptop by her side. She opens the laptop to check her email to see if her boss dropped her any documents to work on.

She was checking it when her phone suddenly rang beside her displaying Angie's name. Jessica felt bad because Angie was always the one calling her.

She had been too busy these few days that she had forgotten about her friend. It looked like she would have to try and put a reminder on her phone.

" He-llo, Angie" Jessica stammered, covering her face with her hand.

" Hi Jessie, are you okay?" Angie asked, curiously. She had noticed the way Jessica was talking to her. Was she sick or worried about something? That was Angie's thought.

" Yes, I'm fine, I'm sorry I didn't call you, " Jessica said, feeling guilty.

" It's okay, I know you are busy at work, " Angie said, smiling.

Then she added with a chuckle," Don't Tell me that's the reason you were stuttering?"

" Of course, I am guilty. You have been the one cal

    Edwin was in the office working through some files that needed his attention before leaving for his business trip. He had told her to stay back last night so she could have lots of rest before they would travel.But it looks like it was a miscalculation decision on his part. He was finding it difficult to finish up the documents. He sighed, rubbing his temples. " This would have been fast if Jessica was here. She knows how to sort these files better," Edwin thought to himself.Edwin was busy on the file when his phone vibrated. He took time away from the computer and glanced through his phone. He ignored the call as he continued working on the files."Buzz buzz buzz" The phone vibrated again. This time he was getting frustrated. He knew nothing good would come out of this call. " Why does mom keep calling when she knows I will be busy at work?," Edwin said with a crinkled nose." Hello, sweetie," Edwin greeted her while concentrating on the files."Are you not planning to visit us

    After 2 hours of flight, they were already in their location. Jessica stood up and picked up her bag while she exited the plane. A car was already waiting for them. They both entered the car and the driver drove them to the hotel. Looking at different buildings and how clumsy the road was, Jessica kept looking left and right admiring the busy city." Is this your first time in New York?" Edwin asked, fixing his gaze on Jessica." Yes, this is my first time," Jessica responded. She wasn't ready to tell him she had been here with her parents on vacation. She doesn't want the fact that she was once the daughter of a billionaire to be known to others and especially, not Edwin Turner. " I see…" Edwin trailed off.But why does it look like it wasn't the first time? Although there was this kind of curiosity in her eyes, it was that of long familiarity. More like when you left a place for a while only to come back to some changes.Edwin decided not to probe her further. He chided himself fo

    Jessica looked away from him and focused on the screen. Wasn't that a game layout? Why would he show her the company secret project? " This is the project I want to bid for, I am not the only one trying to get this project, there are also top competitors companies, what do you think of the game layout?" He asked, cutting through her thoughts.Seeing that she was silent, Edwin thought she was thinking about how he found out about her. " I saw you studied computer science in school. I need the opinion of someone in the field," Edwin explained, looking at her.After checking the interface for a few minutes, Jessica could see where they needed to make some editing to make it easier for users while using the product." Sir, I think you need to check here, users might mistake it for another instruction, you need to explain it properly. And here too, you can make it more simple," Jessica suggested." Okay," Edwin responded, checking the places she made suggestions.He saw that it if he goe

    Walking down the stairs with Edwin by her side, all eyes were on them. She knew the dress fits her but she was surprised at the way people were staring at her in the hall. She bit hard on her lips and she stared into space. Looking at the number of people in the hall and their dresses, Jessica looked at her gown again and was happy. She was grateful to Edwin for making her the envy of many people. Although he might be perverted, he was truly a gentleman.Somehow her heart was becoming warm just thinking about him. If he was just those usual boss, he would have not mind taking her here dressed in her work clothes. It would have been so embarrassing to her. Her black gown with beaded plugging back makes her look outstanding in the hall. It shimmered as she moved around and the girls couldn't help being envious of her. It wasn't just the girls alone, even Edwin couldn't stop staring at her. He glanced at her briefly before looking around the hall to check for a vacant seat for them.

    Edwin drew a chair out, sitting across Jessica with a furrowed brow." Why will she react to his touch that way? All she does is give me a nonchalant attitude and here she was blushing because of a simple touch," Edwin ranted to himself." Are you okay, sir," Jessica asked, looking at Edwin, who was murmuring to himself." Yes, I am fine. Have you known him before?" Edwin asked, looking at her as his voice was laced with hidden jealousy. " Gary? Of course not. We met here. I am thankful he helped me earlier or else I would have been so embarrassed," Jessica explained, smiling at the mention of Gary. She was indeed grateful to him. Edwin frowned at her words. When did Gary save her from embarrassment? He wanted to ask her but he felt that if he does, she would think he was too busy flirting to even take notice of her."Why can't I just let off those beauties till I get her? Arrggg! They are just too tempting," he grumbled to himself before looking at Jessica. Jessica who was still r

    Waking up the following morning, Jessica felt a splitting pain erupting from her head."Arrrrrrggg! What the fuck happened to me?" She grumbled, trying to stand up. She looked down only to see that she was still putting on her dress from last night. What happened to her last night? She couldn't believe she was still in the dress! " Why am I still in my party clothes?" Jessica thought, holding her hand with one hand.The pain was increasing and the worst of it was that she felt so miserable and nauseous. Her mind tried to search for what might have happened to her last night and that's when she started to recollect a little." Did I get drunk? Why the headache?" Jessica murmured to herself.Coming down from her bed, she saw the drug and water beside her bedside, with a note that said' Please take me!', After seeing the drug, Jessica knew she had been drunk last night. Did she take that much alcohol? She quickly went to the bathroom to have her teeth brushed. After brushing, she too

    Edwin left Jessica as he went to see other business colleagues. She didn't mind as she sat on one free chairs in the wine section. Her eyes were darting around the hall and she was praying that her boss would get the project.Just then, she picked up a scent of male cologne, a kind of familiar one. She could tell who was coming towards her. Although she was grateful, she didn't want to end up on Edwin's bad side. So, she pretended not to notice. Meanwhile, Gary had noticed Jessica was alone and he decided to check on her. She was looking extremely beautiful compared to last night. He wished he had been the one to hire Jessica. "Hi Jessica, Good morning," Gary greeted with a smile on his face." Good morning, sir," Jessica responded, calmly." Hmm, just call me by my name. How are you feeling?" Gary asked, smiling faintly.Jessica furrowed her brow. What does he mean by that? Did he see her last night too? "I saw you last night." Gary answered her hidden question, with a raised brow

    Getting to the suite, Jessica was about to enter her room when Edwin decided to start a conversation with her. He wanted to know more about her, especially what she did back there. "Did you learn all that in school? I mean, how were you able to do that so fast?" Edwin asked, looking at Jessica who was about to open the door." Hmmm, I learned a little from a friend," Jessica replied smiling. She couldn't possibly tell him she was a renowned computer genius in school, right? " Oh! I bet that your friend was a genius. Did you see the look on Gary's face? I Am sure he didn't expect that either, ahh ahh," Edwin said, laughing." Yeah, he was a bit surprised," She said, as she smiled with her eyes. She was also surprised about Gary's behavior. Why would he do such a thing? "Did you say a bit? That's a whole lot of surprise, sweetheart. He didn't expect that he would be floored by me in this field. I can't believe he had to stoop so low, so cheap!," Edwin ranted, a grin plastered on his

    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

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
