The following day, she went to work. She had a letter in her hand that she wanted to submit to her boss."Good morning sir.""Miss Graves. So good to see you!" He replied. "Please sit." Jessica sat down."It's so good to see you." He said again. "You know, I've been looking for an opportunity to commend you for the work you do, your efficiency and all. You do a very good job here.""Thank you, sir," Jessica said humbly. "Sir, about that actually came in to hand me my resignation letter."The man paused in his actions. "Are you joking?""I'm afraid not sir.""Why are you resigning? Is there anything that's not to your taste here? Is your salary too poor? Talk to me, what is the matter?""It's nothing that has to do with the company. It's just that my kids and I are relocating to California. So it would be very difficult for me to keep up with work. Distance and all." Jessica explained."Oh." He said. "That is not an issue, Ms. Graves.""It's not?" Jessica asked in surprise."Not at all

"Moooommm!!" Abby's excited squeal shattered the quietness of the morning. Jessica groaned as she lazily got up from her sweet sleep."What the heck, Abby?!" Abby bounced on the bed again and again, waking not only Jessica but Gabby as well."Wake up, wake up. We're traveling today, remember?" She jumped down from the bed and raced to Angela's room.Jessica could hear her muffled but excited voice as she shouted for Angela to wake up. Jessica shook her head. The kids were always a handful."Mom, c'mon. Let's get ready. The plane is waiting too!" She announced excitedly. Gabby rolled off the bed to the floor. That was all it took to have him wide awake."We are traveling today?" He asked again. "Oh, mom. You didn't repack our bags?"Jessica scowled at him. "So you do know you scattered it? Well, go and repack it yourself!""Come on, come on! Gabby, let's go and pack it all again." Abby squealed excitedly. She pulled her brother along to the closet. They carefully packed the clothes th

Jessica took her children to meet her parents. The kids were very excited to be there. Gabby especially couldn't keep calm at all. He was too energetic, and Jessica was almost frightened for her parents."Gabby, keep calm." She scolded lightly. "If you don't, I will tell the cab man to turn back."The threat had the little boy calm down immediately. He zipped his lips. Jessica's relaxed in her seat. Only for him to get excited again, and not even up to five minutes later. This time, Jessica ignored him.When they arrived, she helped them get down from the cab, and before she could turn, they were already running towards the entrance. Mrs. Graves was there. She had come to grab something from a shelf by the corner when she noticed a vehicle parked before the yard. She stopped to see who it was, and when she saw Jessica alight, a smile spread across her face. "Honey!" She called. "Jessica is here with the twins." The news had Mr. Graves running down in an instant. He was equally excite

The following morning, Jessica called Gary to inform him of the kids' entrance examination. Gary was parked outside their apartment early enough. Jessica prepared the kids for school."Mom, is school really that necessary?" Gabby asked. Abby rolled her eyes at him."Gabby, you should grow up already! This is so lame and so old!""You're so lame and so old." Gabby returned. Abby gasped. Began to pull Jessica's sleeve to get her attention."Ignore him, Abby. You're so young and beautiful and interesting!" Jessica said. Abby snorted at Gabby victoriously."Mom," Gabby called again. He tugged Jessica's sleeve just like Abby and was done. "You didn't answer my question."Jessica sighed as she brushed Abby's hair. "What question, Gabby?""Is it necessary to go to school?"Jessica still kept mute. She finished brushing Abby's hair and then turned to brush Gabby's hair as well. Gabby moved his head away. Jessica paused in her movements, this boy was too troublesome."Gabriel." She called firm

She is the one who would be seen everywhere, representing the company while her father would remain as the chairman of the company. After dressing, she took a cab to her father's company. Getting in, she found out that some workers had resumed. They still needed more workers to fill in the spaces to ensure the company ran very smoothly. She made a mental note to work on the vacancies for the positions needed.After setting up her new office, she was just about to sit and begin work when her door went open and closed. She turned around to see who dared to just get in like that. It was her father. Her wary expression

At past three pm, her phone began to ring incessantly. Annoyed, she answered the call. It was Gary."Hello, I've been calling Jess. Where did you keep your phone?" He demanded. Then as if checking his tone, he calmed a bit. "It's time to get the kids. The driver is waiting for you at the company.""Oh. Alright, I was busy." Jessica said, saving her work. "I'll just round up and go down.""Okay. His name is Levi.""Alright, thanks, Gary."Jessica finished her work and went down to meet the man. They exchanged pleasantries. He drove them to the school, and Jessica registered him as the legal transporter for the kids. The kids filled the atmosphere in the car, making the entire place lively.

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

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.

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
