Jessica saw the car leave as she hid behind the window next to the gate. She had a sweet smile resembling a teen who just saw her crush. She turned around and walked into the elevator when the car left her sight.
On reaching her apartment she took a quick shower and was scrolling through the web when her screen blacked out… The screen showed some characters and soon it returned to normal. Jessica’s face turned dark and she exited the web to open her messaging app. She went to the contact named ‘FRIEND’ and send a message with two simple words. ‘NO’.
She got up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen to get herself a glass of cold milk when her phone vibrated showing a new notification. She looked at the lit-up screen and her face started brimming with happiness. It was a cute emoji message from Steve. It read ‘Goodnight, dear…’ with two heart emojis. She smiled to herself before r
The next day,Amy was extremely happy as she entered the store. Her eyes searched for Jessica and on spotting her she ran and stood in front of Jessica.Jessica was busy reading her designs when she noticed someone in front of her. She raised her head unhurriedly and looked at the brimming smile, Amy."What happened? Why so happy?" Jessica asked with a small smile on her face."You know what? Today my ex called me and asked me to come to the hospital. I went there and he was there on his death bed… His whole body was filled with injuries. He apologized to me and said that he would never believe anyone… Haha… I also met his girlfriend who was injured on her head and had gone mad….. You should have been there… They looked like a perfect couple. Hahaha." Amy said trying hard to control her laughter and the urge to lie down and laugh.Jessica stared at her friend and smiled. "Okay….. Let's get bac
Within twenty minutes Steve reached the store and walked towards Jessica’s office. He lightly knocked on the door and heard a soft come in from the other side. He went into the room and his eyes immediately softened at the sight of his beloved.On feeling the stare on her Jessica looked up to meet his sparkling blue eyes. They were so deep. She smiled and he smiled back.“Are you done? Shall we go for lunch?” Steve asked as he came close to her desk. he quickly glanced at the designs scattered on her desk. They were simply breathtaking.Jessica smiled and got up from her desk as she arranged her drafts in a file. “Yeah, we should get going. I am hungry.” She smiled at him as she walked towards him and winded her arm around his. Steve looked at the intertwined arms a beautiful smile broke onto his lips as they walked out of the office.Amy stood in front of Je
The Next DayJessica got up early to get ready for the opening ceremony that would take place. She was kinda nervous but also relieved that Steve would be beside her the whole time. He was her support pillar, a strong one over that.Jessica got ready in her royal blue long dress. She tied her hair in a bun and wore a sapphire jewelry set. She looked stunning. Putting on light makeup she moved out of her room to the living room. She was wearing her heels when the doorbell rang. She opened the door to reveal Steve in a royal blue suit, looking sharp as always. His eyes trailed at his gorgeous wife.“You look wonderful, sweetheart,” He said as a small blush crept up her cheeks.“You yourself look like a prince Mr. Smith,” Jessica complimented him.“Then,” he bowed down in front of her offering her his hand, “prin
Jessica sat in her car which was parked by the road. She was feeling extremely terrible. ‘Mom… I miss you a lot… I hope you could be here.’ Her facing the ceiling of the car a tear dropped from her eye. This was the first time after coming back that she cried.After a few minutes, the girl in the car stepped out and walked to the edge of the road. Inhaling the air she closed her eyes and let the breeze play with her hair as it touched her face. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at the stunning view.She had driven aimlessly after she left the Han Mansion. She had landed in an isolated place with some hills surrounding it. The place she was standing on was a perfect place to admire the place. Seeing the mountains a thought came to the mind of Jessica, ‘Life is like a mountain, hard to climb, but the climb is worth the amazing view from the top.’When Jessica was abroad sh
The Han Mansion.The living room completely perished. All the valuable vases and showpieces lied on the floor broken into a thousand parts. Mrs. Han stood in the middle of the mess in her angry state. She had pulled many strings to get into this rich family but now everything was ruined. She felt desolated and wasted.After a while, the door opened and a petite figure walked in. Jia stopped in her tracks as she saw the messed-up living room. She spotted a person who was curled into a ball in a corner. She carefully walked into the room with the fear of getting hurt by the small glass fragments. She stood in front of her mother and looked into her reddened eyes. It looked like she had cried for a long time.“Mom….” Jia said as she felt sympathetic for the woman. The woman raised her head to trace out t
It was a stormy night with heavy rain falling outside. Jia sat on the couch as she watched her favorite show on the television well protected from the cold storm. She had just returned from her vacation from school. Suddenly she heard a shriek cry from the living room. Her heart pounded at a high rate. She felt extreme pain as if something was forced inside her heart. She ran downstairs not minding wearing her slippers.She felt weak in her knees even before reaching the room when she saw a body covered in blood on the floor. It was the body of a woman. The face was totally pale and out of color. Her whole body was filled with blood and her beautiful eyes were closed as if the person was in a deep slumber.The dead body was of the same lady who had bought her home, loved her unconditionally, and also cared for her when she was sick. Seeing the person dead she was not able to contain herself. She
On their way to the hospital, the driver raised the volume of the radio in order to listen to the evening news.After some weather reports the radio reporter came up with the latest news of the bankruptcy of the Han business. After a few minutes, there was a long pause on the news before the voice of a man came out. The news told by the reporter not only shook the listeners but also the tough-heated policemen.“According to the news from our reporters we just came to know that there was an accident on the highway which has taken away the life of President Han. Till now it is said to be an accident the car slid down the gorge leading to on the spot death of President Han.” After a long pause, the reporter said, “It is suspected to be a suicide.”The woman on the back seat shook vigorously as a stream of tears flowed down her pale cheek. She felt as if her heart was stung by thousands of be
After a long shower, Jessica stepped out of the bathroom and walked to the kitchen. She never knew cooking because she was never allowed to step in the kitchen as she was the pampered young miss. But some circumstances so happened that she learned to cook for herself as all the dishes tasted awful after her mom who used to coo for her left her.As she was about to get some eggs from the fridge her eyes fell on a covered plate with an eye-catching note on it. From her distance, the note had the same handwriting.She walked to the table and picked up the note.‘Eat your breakfast sweetie… Don’t starve yourself. Warm the food up before eating.’ It had a smiling emoji at the end.Her heart filled with warmth. The warmth she had long forgotten. Deep in her heart, she was happy that someone cared but she also had another feeling that was… Fear. She was afraid of
The next day Steve had already left when Jessica woke up. She found her breakfast on the table with a note on it which read; ‘Good morning sweetheart, I had some business to attend. Have your breakfast made with all my love. ~Steve, your love’ The post-it was dripped with love and her eyes were filled with it too. She sat down and gobbled the sweetly prepared food. It was in no way less than the top qualities food she had had in her lifetime. He deserved a gift for his efforts now. Jessica did the dishes and got ready to move to her studio with a big bright smile plastered on her face. ……………………………………………………….. Amy greeted the cheerful Jessica as she moved to her office. “May I ask the reason of your lovely smile, your highness?” Amy asked amused by the smile on the night owl’s face. Jess
The girl on the floor was a crying mess. Her face had a red hand mark. While the girl on the sofa had an evil smirk on her face. “Why is your boss still not here. Don’t tell me she is scared.” Ms. Kim shouted at the girl at her feet. “Ms. Kim, I am here.” Jessica walked gracefully down the stairs. She was surrounded by a cold aura. Ms. Kim got up from her seat as she came face-to-face with Jessica. “You must be Jessica Han, owner of this store. I am Kim Lee.” She raised her hand for a handshake but Jessica ignored her and bend down to pick up the girl on the floor. “Are you fine? Amy get her wounds treated.” Jessica said as she looked over at Amy behind her. Ms. Kim was pissed off. ‘how dare she ignore me.’ Handing over the injured girl to Amy Jessica turned to look at the fuming little miss. “You sure don’t know me to be ignoring me this way. Well let me introduce myself again, I’m Kim Lee, the heir of Kim corporations.” Lee’s face was arrogant and challenging. “Oh, my bad, I f
Jessica and Mrs. Smith rode Smith’s family car to the largest mall in the city. Along the way, Mrs. Smith kept on blabbering about the stuff they needed to purchase for the wedding, the guests they had to invite, the place for the wedding, and what not. Jessica also participates in her talks as a smile lit her face. ‘Finally, I am getting married… Mom are you watching over me? are you happy?’ Jessica glanced outside the window with her teary eyes. “What happened Jessica? Are you not happy to go shopping with mom?” Mrs, Smith looked worriedly towards Jessica. “No mom. I love it. I am super excited to shop with you.” Jessica smiled sweetly at her. Mrs. Smith sighed and then continued with her talks about the upcoming wedding. Soon they arrived at the mall. Mrs. Smith could no longer contain her happiness as she entered the mall along with Jessica. The mall had five floors. The top floor
The next day Jessica was again the first one to wake up. She prepared the breakfast. After all the dishes that included a egg toast, a bowl of rice porridge and a cup of milk were set up on a the dining table she was all ready to go call Steve, when she noticed him walking down the stairs. She smiled at him and he smiled back. He walked to the dining table and sat down next to Jessica. He satisfactorily looked at the breakfast on the table and started to gracefully eat it.Jessica glanced at him as she sipped on her cup of milk. Her mind was filled with this man who sat in front of her. Their wedding was now just a few weeks away and it all felt like a dream to her. Thinking of all the time she spent with him her face bloomed with a enchanting smile.Her trail of thoughts broke when her phone’s screen lit up and a notification from her mother-in-law popped up on the screen. She picked up her phone and looked at the notification.
The next day Steve was woken up by the aroma of her food again. He felt hungry again as he got up and went downstairs after tidying up his room. Walking down the stairs he could hear her light humming and a song playing in the background. This scene warmed his heart and gave him a homely feeling. He slowly came downstairs and reached the kitchen counter. staring lovingly at the food and the woman he said, “Good morning, dear. Need some help?” Jessica turned around to face him and she was stunned at his smiling face which looked even more handsome. She came out of her daze and asked, “Do you not want to bath? We have an appointment today?” Steve was confused, which appointment did they have? Seeing him confused she chuckled and said, “we have to meet one of your friends.” “Ohhh… Zenifer, yeah, yeah… I will go and get ready that man is strict with timings.” Saying this he walked upstairs mumbling something to himself about forgetting everything after seeing his beauty the first thing
Jessica stopped in her tracks as she stared in the blue eyes. His eyes reminded her of her favorite place- the ocean. She took small, steady steps towards the man and made him sit on the bed before passing him a glass of water.Her eyes were fixed on him the entire time as if he would disappear the moment she blinked.After gulping the water Steve felt much more relieved. He looked up at the girl who stared at him like an owl. He giggled and asked her, “like what you see? Do I look extra good today?”She smiled and said, “no, you are just like a thought which may disappear the moment it is touched.” Hearing her words he felt a pang on his heart. ‘Did he really matter to her? Was he this important.’This kindness and care were new to him. It felt like an illusion who might be lost with a touch or even with the fear of being touched. He wanted to store t
The instant these words escaped the phone speaker Jessica lost all strength and collapsed on the ground. Tears gushed on her cheeks as she blankly stared at the floor. Amy sat down to support her and help her sit on the chair as she passed down a glass of water to her. She was sure whatever the call was for it was for no good.When Jessica was a bit calm she took Amy by hand to the parking lot. She asked her driver to drive her to the First help hospital as her heart was going mad thinking of every worse thing. On the way, she explained the situation to Amy who became equally worried.When they reached the nurse guided them to the emergency center where stood outside Steve’s assistant.Seeing Steve’s assistant the nervousness and uneasiness in Jessica’s heart grew more. She rushed to the assistant and asked, “How is he? Is he in danger? When did the surgery start?” And a whole lot
The next day Steve lay next to her as he stared at her sleeping. She looked cute to him. Her long eyelashes, cherry-like lips, and her fair cheeks. Her all features impressed him and he falls deeper for her. When she opened her eyes slowly she looked like a small kitten who wakened from her long rest. She woke up and looked into his eyes.She extended her hand to touch his god-like face. She still thought it was a dream. ‘Did he really propose to me yesterday? Is he sure? Am I truly not dreaming?’ Many such questions circled in her mind but these all vanished when her hand felt his skin.“Am I really not dreaming?” She asked nervously.“No my dear, we are as real as our love.” He took her hand in his and kissed it lightly.She blushed and withdrew her hand before getting up.“Get up and get ready in the guest room. I am going to my room to get dressed. Afterward, drive me to my office.” Yesterday they had slept on the couch. It was uncomfortable but their presence to each other was co
Jessica drove her car aimlessly. She was feeling a weird emotion that gave her endless pain. Her mind was still filled with the voices of Steve back in the office. After a crazy drive of an hour, she finally came to a stop. ‘This place…..’ She clearly knew this place it was where they had found her father’s body and claimed that he had committed suicide. She came out of the car. The sky had turned dark complementing her mood. With light and small steps, she moved towards the cliff. She moved over and glanced at the end of the cliff. It was very deep. It looked as if the cliff led to hell itself. Jessica stared as if to see the end of the cliff but all that appeared was darkness. Her chest tightened as she stepped back. She squatted down and sat on the side of the road. She looked at the moving cars with her teary eyes. After a while, she got up and went inside her car. She leaned her
