Husband For Hire Chapter Thirty Six
Two weeks laterJesse sat at the bar in the club waiting for his friends while nursing a beer. He was supposed to be heading home but he needed to unwind after a hectic day at work. He had to be well prepared for the business summit that was coming up which was why he stayed longer at the office but thankfully Bella understood the difficulties that came with owning a company as big as Standard Flour Mills. She was after all the president of her own company."Hey honey." Helena joined him at the bar. "I'm surprised to see you alone without your bodyguards." She sneered.Jesse glanced at her and sighed. "My God Helena, please leave." He pleaded. "We'll chat next year.""Very funny." She chuckled. "Buy me a drink.""Order what you want." He grumbled.Helena waved the bartender over. "Two shots of vodka. Neat." She told him."Planning to get wild tonight?". Jesse asked."Hmmm hmmm." She nodded. "And I'll also like to get down and dirty with you." She winked seductively at him.Jesse roll

Jesse woke up to a head splitting hangover and loud music. He slowly opened one eye then the other groggily and wondered if Paul had a death wish for playing such loud music.He turned his head to look at his alarm clock and frowned when he didn't see it. He sat up in bed and clutched his head in his hands groaning in pain. It felt as if his head wanted to fall off and holding it was the only way to save it from doing just that. "Hey sweetheart, you're finally awake." Helena smiled as she walked into the room from the bathroom. "Did you sleep well?".Jesse lifted his head sharply and winced as a sharp pain sliced through his head but he couldn't take his eyes off Helena's towel clad body. His heart stopped beating for a nanosecond as he slowly looked down at himself and realized that he was... freaking naked underneath the sheets and he paled."Are you okay? You look pale."Jesse began to breathe heavily as his fogged up brain began to think. He was naked in Helena's bed and she was

"What do you have to say for yourself young man?". Vincenzo leveled him with a look. "Nothing sir." Jesse replied. "Except that... I'm sorry for hurting your daughter. It was never my intention to.""I would like to tell you that my daughter will get over this and forgive you but... I don't think so." Vincenzo informed him. "There's so much heart break her heart can take.""I understand sir." He nodded."The woman in the video... where can I find her?". Vincenzo asked."She lives across sir." Jesse answered in the same monotone voice. "Oh really?". Vince raised a brow. "You were in her house then?"."She... took me to a guest house. It's owned by Harrison Allen.""Hmm." Vince nodded. "Can I tell you a secret Jesse?"."Yes sir.""I had a thought on the plane that... I'll put a bullet in your brain immediately I set my eyes on you but... I realized that it was too extreme so I settled for another thought." Vince got comfortable on the swivel chair. "I'm going to take back everything I

A week later"Miss Johnson, Mr Arroyo is here to see you." Helena's house keeper informed her.Helena looked up from her phone to the woman in surprise. "Mr Arroyo? Mr Vincenzo Arroyo?". She breathed."Yes ma'am.""Um... Let him in." She cleared her throat. She patted her hair and straightened her gown before Vincenzo was ushered into the living room and her house keeper walked away.Helena stood up to greet Vincenzo and held out her hand for a shake but Vincenzo ignored her outstretched hand and took a seat on the single high back chair then crossed his legs. "Would you like anything to drink sir?". She asked."No. Thank you." He said."How can I help you sir?". Helena sat down after taking a deep breath to calm herself."You can't help me but I came here to help you." Vincenzo told her. "How so?". She looked confused."I know you uploaded that sex tape on the internet to break up my daughter's relationship with Jesse Billion." Vincenzo said. "You seem to think that you've won now

Two days laterJesse just stepped out of the en suite bathroom in his office when the door to his office was opened and Helena walked in looking very furious and totally ignored the frustrated secretary behind her."What the hell Jesse?!". She bit out. "You ordered security not to let me in?"."I'm really very sorry sir." Eucharia apologized. "I couldn't stop her in time.""Don't worry about it." He told her. "Just get a security personnel to stand outside. She's going to be escorted out soon.""Okay sir." Eucharia eyed Helena balefully and exited the office closing the door behind her.Jesse ignored Helena and went to sit down behind his desk. If he continued ignoring her, she'd get tired and leave."You know very well that I always win this game Jesse. Ignore me however long you want but I'm not leaving until you hear what I have to tell you and I think it's really childish of you to change your number." She chastised him as she took a seat."Say your piece and leave then." He said.

Jesse walked into the hospital after wasting five minutes talking himself out of going in to see Bella but the other part of him that really wanted to see her won and he found himself going inside the building. He took the stairs to the second floor and stopped short when he saw Bella's parents, Paul and Gwen sitting on recliners probably waiting for news about her. Gwen turned her head and her eyes widened when she saw her father standing in the corner looking uncertain and she stood up. "Daddy!". She called out but didn't run to meet him like she wanted to. She'd missed him so much these past weeks and wondered when he'd finally come home. Aviva, Vincenzo and Paul turned their heads to look at Jesse as well but Paul turned away immediately and stood up. "Um... I'll go across the road to that restaurant and get something for Gwen to eat. Are you hungry Gwen?". He asked her. "Yes." "Let's go together then." Paul held out his hand. Gwen placed her hand in his and followed Paul w

"You're not?". Aviva was shocked. "Why? Having a baby is every woman's dream.""Yes mom but that's if she's married or in a relationship and I'm single." Bella told her. "It's not like I can't raise this baby on my own because I have the money... it's just the father of the baby that is the problem.""Princesa, can I say something?". Vincenzo spoke up."Sure daddy." She replied."I don't mean to impose but you know very well that your Abuela won't be very happy to find out that you're pregnant and not married right?". He asked her. "It is forbidden as far as I can remember for a woman in our family to be pregnant and not married. It's a no no.""It's the twenty first century dad." Bella said. "Surely that doesn't count anymore.""It does, mi bebe." Aviva chimed in. "I know you love your grandmother very much and you wouldn't do anything to make her sad.""So... What both of you are trying to say is that I should get married against my will?". She frowned. "Of course not. It's all up

Jesse walked into his office and shut the door then leaned against it tiredly. He was physically and emotionally exhausted and he just wanted to end everything.He pushed away from the door and walked over to take a seat behind his desk, hitting his head against the head rest repeatedly as Bella's words ran rampant in his mind."You're so very unfortunate, aren't you Jesse Billion." He thought. "The first one played you like a violin and now this one... like a piano. You're the most pathetic man in the whole world."He shook his head and rubbed his hands over his face. He had work to do so he was going to focus on that instead and took out his laptop from the bag, opened it and turned it on.Halfway through the second document he was going through, he remembered the package and opened the drawer, took it out and closed the drawer."What are you hiding package?". He muttered. "More suffering. That's what Uncle Vince said right?". He tore the seal of the envelope and poured out the cont

Jesse opened the door to Bella's hospital room and poked his head in to see if she was awake and found her sleeping so he walked in and closed the door. He walked up to her bed and took a seat on the chair in front of her bed and just watched her sleep with a smile on his face. She looked even more beautiful than she was yesterday and he guessed it probably was because she was a new mom and… "You're staring." Bella said. Jesse blinked. "You're awake?". She opened her eyes and turned her head to look at him and frowned when she saw his red eyes. "Have you been crying?". She asked. "Uh... Well, not really." He shook his head. "I got to see the babies and uh... I couldn't help myself." "They're okay?". She asked. "Very okay." He replied. "We have three boys and a girl." "Three boys? Oh well." She smiled. "This means that I won't have to get pregnant again just to get a boy. I have three girls and three boys now." "Um..." He cleared his throat. "Do you know you just totally agreed

Months laterA phone ringing woke Jesse from his sleep and he reached out to pick it up from the bedside table, swiped the screen to answer the call and put the phone to his ear."Hello." He said groggily."Jesse! It's time!". Aviva exclaimed.Jesse's eyes flew open and he sat up in bed. "What's time?". He asked."Bella! The babies!". She said. "We're on our way to the hospital so meet us there.""Um... Okay. I'm on my way." He hung up, jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower then came out and hurried to his closet to dress up.He was in the process of putting on his wristwatch when his bedroom door opened causing him to look up and saw Jessica standing there with an ashen look on her face."What's wrong?". He stood up.Jessica pointed towards Gwen's room but couldn't say anything."Jess? What's wrong?". He walked up to her."Gwen... Gwen..." She gasped leaning against the door frame as tears poured down her face. "She's... She's not waking up.""What?". He

"Jesse." Bella called. Jesse looked up at Bella in surprise. He'd not told anyone else except his mother and sister about Maitta's accident so he guessed that his mother must have called Aviva. "How's she?." Bella asked joining him on the sofa. "I don't know yet." He replied. "Gwen told me what happened." Bella said. "She didn't mean to do it." Jesse scoffed and said nothing. "She's not someone like that. You raised her." Bella reminded him. "Yes." He agreed. "But I didn't expect her to be so heartless that she'd hurt her own sister. I saw her smiling Bella." "Jesse... She's just a little girl." "Which is why I'm not raving mad right now." He said. "Everything will be fine." Bella told him. "You shouldn't have come. You need to be resting." He chided. "I'm pregnant, not an invalid." She said. Jesse chuckled and took her hand in his. "I'm glad you're here." He told her. "Family of Maitta Deacon?". The doctor approached them. "Yes. We're her parents." Jesse stood up. "

Maitta's sleep was disturbed as she kept inhaling smoke wondering sleepily where it was coming from until she opened her eyes and let out a scream when she saw the fire licking at her door. Her room was already so filled with smoke that she could hardly breathe so she took her robe and covered her nose with it and called out to Trisha tearfully. "Mommy!". She didn't want to get up from her bed. "Mommy!". She screamed. It was like a very horrible nightmare that she couldn't wake up from. She got out of bed when she saw that Trisha wasn't answering or banging on her door and ran to her window. She drew back the curtains and opened the shutters and was grateful for the breeze that was blowing in until she heard her bedroom door give way to the intense heat of the fire and fall to the carpeted floor then she really got to see how unsafe she was in the house from the fire raging in the hallway. "Daddy." She sobbed. "Daddy please save me." She couldn't climb out of her window because it

A week later "Can we talk Bella?". Jesse asked. Bella looked up from her laptop to him, surprised to see him but she only nodded and continued with her work. Jesse pulled back a chair and took a seat. He didn't say anything for a long while and just stared at her causing her to look up and raise a questioning brow. "Well? Are you going to say something or you are just going to watch me all day?". She inquired. "I'm sorry." He apologized. "For what?". She looked irritated. "For everything." "Okay?". She sounded bored. "I'm also sorry that I lied to you last week." He said. "You lied about so many things. What exactly are you sorry for?". Jesse took a deep breath. "I told you three weeks ago that I couldn't love you... well that was a big fat lie." He looked contrite. "I realized how much of a loser I was when I heard the news about your supposed death and all I could think of... was that I'd take everything back if I could get another chance with you." "Oh." Bella said. "So

Two weeks later "Daddy!". Gwen shook Jesse awake. "Wake up!". Jesse stirred and forced one eye open to stare at Gwen. He was hung over and felt like his head would come off if he attempted to lift it. He'd drank himself to stupor the night before after he and Aviva dropped Bella off at the airport. She'd insisted on taking a commercial flight back to Mexico and there was no talking her out of it so they'd let her and Aviva had cried on his shoulder making him feel like a horrible human being. He'd gone to the bar from the airport without inviting his friends but when he realized he'd drank too much, he called Olly who came to meet him and brought him home. "Daddy! Mommy is dead!". Gwen shook him. "Mommy is dead!". "Yes I know." He muttered. "Helena died months ago." "No! Aunt Bella!". Gwen exclaimed tearfully. Jesse's eyes flew open and he propped himself up on his elbow. "What?". "It's on the news." Gwen pointed to his TV. She grabbed the remote and turned it on, waited a fe

A few days laterBella sat in the gazebo working on her laptop when she heard the horn of a car that sounded very much like Jesse's and she suddenly lost interest in what she was doing and set her laptop aside.Jesse drove into the compound and pulled up in front of the house, alighted from the car and shut the door. He rounded the hood to open the door for someone and Bella saw a little girl get out of the car and her breath hitched in her throat when she locked gazes with Jesse and she wondered if he was going to come over but he steered the girl towards the house and they went inside.By the time Bella got inside the house and walked into the sitting room, she met her mother having an animated conversation with Jesse's daughter while he just watched them with an amused smile on his face.Jesse turned his head to look at Bella and his smile faded. He wondered why she was still around when she'd told him just two days ago that she was leaving and he'd told her goodbye but he really d

Gwen opened the door to Jesse's bedroom and slammed it shut when she saw Maitta sitting on his bed watching something on his laptop and laughing out loud but the door slam caused Maitta to look up at her in surprise."Oh, hi." Maitta said. "Want to watch Merlin with me?"."I don't like the movie." Gwen said. "What are you doing in my father's room?"."He told me I could stay. We were watching it together but he left to take a call." Maitta replied."I see." Gwen muttered."What do you like to watch then?". Maitta inquired."I watch movies like high school musical, Hannah Montana, Frozen and others." Gwen answered. "Merlin is an adult movie.""Daddy likes it." Maitta said.Gwen walked over to the bed and stopped in front of her. "Listen to me, I don't like you at all." Gwen informed her. "And just because you're his real daughter doesn't mean you'll take my father away from me with your miss perfect attitude."Maitta looked stunned. "But... I'm not trying to take daddy away from you."

"Maitta, this is the moment you've been waiting for." Trisha spoke up. "You've always wanted to meet your father and here he is. Say hello.""Hello." She waved shyly."Hi." Jesse said. He looked at the bear. "This is for you." He set the bear on the sofa.Maitta's eyes widened. "Really? It's huge!". She rushed to hug the bear."What do you say when someone gives you a gift?". Trisha asked her, frowning at her."Thank you." She said and blushed looking embarrassed."It's fine." Jesse said. "Can I take her now?"."Um... Sure." Trisha nodded. "She's eaten so she's good to go."Jesse smiled at Maitta and held out his hand. "Let's go?"."Okay." She shyly placed her hand in his and butterflies erupted in her stomach when Jesse's hand tightened around hers. "Bye mommy.""Have fun darling." Trisha bent and kissed her forehead. "Don't miss me too much okay.""Okay." Maitta nodded and left with Jesse.Trisha blinked back the tears that threatened to fall as she walked back to the kitchen to cle
