Jessica got home, forcing herself to smile and keep conversations with her son. Jeremy was a lot more chatty than she thought. Opening the door, she stood there frozen like a statue. The first face she saw, reaching for the door knob from the inside was her husband, Chris. He stood there too, frozen for a second, eyes looking her up and down. She felt her heart skip a beat, the man she had forced another man's child on. What would he do to her if he found out the truth about Jeremy? Would he finally kill her? He had always threatened to do so for reasons that were nothing compared to huge secret. Did she love him enough to fear losing him to the truth? No. She did not care about that. She just did not want to get embarrassed and she was afraid of what he might to do her. Obviously something worse than a divorce. "What are you doing just standing there?" Chris' voice was a little relaxed compared to his usual sternness whenever he spoke with her. His voice cut her out from her th
Jessica sat there, watching Cara leave the place. She had never felt like a bigger fool. "How am i supposed to stand up to him when he threatens to reveal the truth about Jeremy to the world?" Tears stung at her eyes. She could not help but to wonder, why were things not going her way at all these days? Her husband had filed for a secret divorce, her son's real father had emerged and threatened to reveal the truth, she had lost her job and now she was on the verge of losing everything. "Why the f*ck am I stuck in such a level?!" She spat out angrily. "Mummy," Jeremy called her name softly. "My hand." He raised his tiny hand to her face, ice cream had stained his little palm. She had totally forgotten that her son was on her lap. She immediately wiped her tears, "huh? Oh!" A soft chuckle left her mouth. "You are so clumsy. Let mummy feed you, you still insist on feeding yourself, now look.""Mmn mmn," he shook his head. "I feed myself. I not a baby anymore."She let out a soft chuc
Jessica was taken aback by Cara's wit. How could she have found out so easily even though she did not give off any signal pointing towards that? But she refused to give in. At least not so easily. She cleared her throat, stumbling over her words. "What?! What an absurd thing to say... I mean pff! How stupid do you think I am? Letting such a scoundrel blackmail me for money? I mean come on!" She could hear the lies through her tone. She did not sound believable at all. Cara gave a roll of her eyes. "Go ahead," she said softly. "Tell me. What kind of information does he have about you? What does he have against you to demand such an absurd amount of money from you?" Jessica's face hardened to match her tone. "It's none of your business. I don't wish to tell you so I don't have to tell you because it is my personal business but i will tell you this, it is something worth the amount. That is why I did not argue with him on this!" She spat out angrily. Cara scoffed a laugh. "It is none
Jessica sat by a table, Jeremy on her lap. He played with the napkin on the table while she nervously waited for Cara to arrive. Cara, on the other hand, stood by the entrance, thinking if she should really be meeting her at all. But she was there already so why not just go in?With a soft sigh, she walked into the coffee place and spotted Jessica with her son. Her perfectly shaped brow arched, wondering what kind of trick Jessica was trying to pull by bringing Jeremy with her. Well she would find out after sitting with Jessica. Walking up to her, she sat down with a stern expression on her face. Jeremy looked up at her and smiled but she pretended not to notice. "I'm here, get straight to the point." Cara did not give room for any act nonchalance from Jessica. Her voice made it known that she was there not willingly and she did not have any time to waste. Jessica swallowed, choking on her pride. "Firstly, about what you saw earlier with me and Jayden--""Did I not tell you that
Cara laid with her back on the bed, she felt awkward just laying there while Abigail searched her insides with a transducer. The ultrasound gel was cold and enjoyed the feel of that on her stomach but now she need to pee from all the water Abigail had forced down her throat. "It is for the ultrasound!" She had insisted. Cara wanted to wiggle her leg out of boredom but Abigail ordered her not to move. Not even by an inch. "Your little nugget is doing just fine." There was a soft smile on her lips. "I can't wait for the day this baby comes out to the real world!""Well it's still months away so..." Cara responded, not sounding as excited as Abigail had expected her to be. Abigail's brow went up in question. "What is with such a response? Are you not excited to be a mom?""Well I am excited to have a baby." Cara responded, her left leg finally wiggling. "Not the same thing." Abigail proclaimed. She took off the transducer from Cara's stomach and wiped the gel off of her still invisi
Clearing her throat, she brought herself back to reality, her smile returning to her face. "Well... Jeremy is only closing two, still very small and needing of his mother's love. Even if his father is not around to give it, I can be around for him. I will be around for him. I choose to be."Thankfully, he is too small now to remember that I once neglected him when he gets older. It is not too late for me to fix our relationship but you... Oh it is too late to fix anything. Your son has even lost his grip on sanity. Tch tch tch... I can only wonder who is to blame for such a thing." She started out of the dining room and asked Sarah when she got close to her ear. "Aren't you getting late for your business meeting?" With a smile, she walked away. Sarah stood there, awkwardness flowing like blood inside of her. She felt so confused, her emotions were a mess. She could not understand exactly what she was feeling at that moment and why she was feeling that way. "Oh..." She batted her la
