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
Edwin came out almost immediately, his eyes on Jessica who was sitting on her couch with her leg crossed. The gown was looking so exquisite on her body and it looked as if it was made just for her. His eyes roamed over to her slightly parted red lips and he gulped down his saliva. " She always looks hot in any dress," Edwin thought to himself, tearing his eyes away from her. He walked up to her and with a smile, indicated that he was ready. She smiled back at him and he could feel her scorching gaze on him too. He was happy that she took notice of him, at least. " We can go now, " Edwin said, as he walked out of the suite, feeling happy. Jessica stood up and followed him out too. She was scolding herself for looking at her boss like that. Why was she being a pervert? How could she look at him like that? The two entered the elevator and Edwin pressed the button to the down floor. With a ding, they got to the reception floor and they both walked out of the hotel.Unknown to them, t
Jessica and Edwin walked to the car, where the driver was already waiting for them. The two entered the car and the driver drove them to the hotel." Do you like to go to the club?" Edwin asked as he leaned forward with his eyes on her."Hmm, no sir. I will just go inside to rest," Jessica responded, looking away. She was feeling hot just looking at his eyes. "Are you scared you will get drunk again?" Edwin joked, laughing with his eyes."Not because of that but…" Jessica slurred, covering her face with her hand. It was because of that and also something else. For now, she just can't explain how she was feeling towards him. Maybe it was because she had been embarrassed while drunk. " We don't need to take liquor. The suite will be too boring right now. Let's just go have some fun and also take it as a celebration for our victory," Edwin said, a faint smile on his face. After giving it a thought, Jessica decided to follow him to the club. At least to enjoy herself a little more befo
Walking into the restroom, Edwin looked back to check if the blond girl followed him and he sighted her immediately. He looked for a vacant room and entered. The blond girl entered almost immediately.It wasn't a new situation for him. He had done this numerous times that he was already perfect at it. Without waiting a second, he drew her close to himself and her half opened shirt brought out her busty cleavage. Pushing her to a corner, their mouths collided immediately and they started kissing profusely. His hands pounced on her boobs, squeezing it hard. The girl let out a moan that filled the room.Edwin didn't care if anyone was listening, after all, it was a club. Girls got fucked anywhere even on the dancefloor. Hearing her moaning loudly, he pushed her to the wall and impatiently opened the buttoned shirt."Fuck! Get this damn thing open or I rip it off!" He said, his voice laced with lust."Not so fast, handsome. Let me get you on the high!" The girl responded, a playful smirk
The following morning, Jessica and Edwin flew back to California. They were maintaining a boss and an employee relationship. Although she was feeling pain, she hid it from him and rather focused on working. Edwin just shut his eyes and Throughout the flight, she was busy checking out the assessment for the new job her friend Angie recommended her for. Her eyes were fixed on the laptop without looking at her boss. It was time to search for another job so she would get away from someone like Edwin.She kept asking herself questions as she typed away in silent anger. How could he do that when she was still with him? Even if she was just his secretary, shouldn't he at least take her to a hotel? He did not only sleep with girls in the office, he also does it in a club? What sort of boss was he be if he can't even control his manhood! Sighing softly, she decided to message her friend, Misha, to pick her up at the airport to avoid being in the car alone with Edwin. She just can't face hi
After having her shower, she felt refreshed. She got out of her room and went straight to the kitchen to assist her mother. On getting to the kitchen, Jessica started washing the vegetables and diced them neatly. She collected the pawn and arranged the dining for the five of them. “ Jessica, hope your work isn't stressful? You know I can start working too to make things easier for you,” Her mum suggested, looking at her daughter. “ Mom, are we having this conversation again? Did I complain about anything? Just let me be the one to worry. All I want is your home cooked meal," Jessica said, smiling. “ I am just worried about you. I know you have your life to live too and _” “Mum! Do you want to complain to me or do you want me to help you in the kitchen?” Jessica exclaimed, looking at her mother who had a worried expression on her face. “ You know I am worried about you. Especially since your boss doesn't have a good reputation with young girls,” Mrs. Graves murmured, frying the
Getting to the shop, Jessica was happy to see her boss and colleague again and they were happy for her. "You are looking very beautiful, Jessy!""Yes, she look so gorgeous!"Even her boss was not left out in the praises. He was so happy to see her and even gave her an extra coffee for her just for free. Exactly the way she likes it. After getting the two cups of coffee, she went back to the company. She walked to the office and knocked on Edwin's office door.After a second, he answered her and let her in. Jessica had already dropped her cup of coffee on her desk. She went inside and dropped the coffee on the table.Without saying anything, she turned and was about to leave his office when Edwin called her. She turned to look at him, get face devoid of any emotions. " Jessica," Edwin called softly." Yes sir, do you need me to get you your breakfast?" Jessica said sarcastically. Doesn't he want her to work this morning? Hearing the sarcasm in her response, Edwin knew he had been
Edwin couldn't believe why Jessica would be all over James. He remembered how she was smiling when talking to him in New York, and he was very furious. Edwin remembered how Jessica did not show any sign of remorse when she saw him making out with a girl in his office, a girl he didn't remember her name. He only did all that just to make Jessica more jealous after what happened between them in New York. To calm his nerves down, he decided to call his best friend, Roy, to meet up with him in a bar. He needed someone to vent his frustration to."Hey, Roy. Let's meet up at our regular spot. I really need some company right now," Edwin said, sounding sad. " I am there. I will be waiting for you," Roy said over the phone.Edwin sighed as he cut the call. He got to where the car was parked and told the driver to go home. He wanted some time alone. Immediately he got there, he packed his car and walked to the bar. Walking faster, Edwin was eager to tell everything Roy. Maybe he could give
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
