Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It was 7a.m at the Garcia household. Donald was both angry and frustrated. He had been informed that Jess had been abducted by armed and masked gunmen who had taken her to a different location. What made him angry was that Jess had been taken to his country home that was on the outskirts of the town. Donald had tolerated many of Amanda’s excesses but this time she had gone too far. Donald did not understand why Amanda had kidnapped this girl or what her mission was. Additionally, Donald was made to understand that Pete had been injured in the whole fracas. Donald had lost all sense of respect for Amanda because she did not seem to have the heart of a mother any more. Donald had intended to keep investigating the circumstances but he was overwhelmed by anxiety. He had spent the night in the office trying to collect more information. Now he was back home and Amanda was at the breakfast table. She acted innocent as though nothing was going on, and

Jess was tossing and turning on the bed as she thought of the information she had just shared with Donald. He had left Jess alone in the room after they had talked.she knew that she had not incriminated Pete in any way because there was no way to link him to the business she had described. Besides, she did not have any information that could be considered actionable for a business rival or for the law enforcement authorities. Despite this, she still felt like she had betrayed Pete in some way. She was thinking back to the early days in their relationship when he presented her to everyone as his girlfriend. She smiled when she remembered how difficult Pete had been and how he insisted on being affectionate in public. Later when they started dating genuinely, Pete would continue this habit more brazenly. He made fun of this when Jess complained, by calling himself an alpha wolf who was marking his territory.

Margaret had been having a terrible day. She had been looking for Adam Harris for three days and she was distraught. She had tried calling his daughter but all her calls were not answered. She did not know where Jess worked or lived so she did not have any other way to contact her. It was late afternoon and she had just got back from searching for Adam in several hospitals. All these activities had been unsuccessful and she was exhausted and frustrated. She was sitting in the yard while pondering her next move when a car pulled into her driveway. She recognized the young man who walked towards her as Jess’s boyfriend but Jess was not with her. This heightened her curiosity although she felt a bit nervous.“Good day madam,” he said.“Good day young man,” she said.“Jess was n

He had taken on many shifts at work so that his young family could enjoy the basic pleasures in life. He had scaled down on these tasks when Jess’s mother passed away so that he could spend enough time with his child. He had been a doting father who had attended all her school events without fail. He had also been determined to be a part of his daughter’s life by being close to her emotionally. Although Adam did not consider himself his daughter’s best friend, he knew that she could always come to him with anything. This had not changed even when she had become their sole breadwinner. She had asked him for advice about work ethic, taxes, managing her payslip and many other issues.As Jess be

Four months had passed since Jess had buried her father. She had returned to work and she was dealing with her grief by filling all her time with extra work. Luckily for her, she had not physically met with William since their last discussion at the graveyard. Jess had also made up with Pete and they were on really good terms. She had not fully moved into the penthouse although she spent every night there. Her apartment was regularly cleaned although Jess had carried the gift box from her father. She often looked at the box sadly but she had never gathered the courage to open it. Jess had just arrived at the penthouse and taken a shower when the phone rang. She was thrilled when the caller ID read Leslie and she answered immediately.“Leslie, I’m so happy to hear from you,” Jess said happily.
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 53: SCHEMERS PARADISE
A pleasant aroma wafted through the penthouse. The aroma was rich in vanilla and cinnamon along with the typical smell of freshly baked cake. Jess was home alone baking cookies after a long exhausting week. She had spent days working, and evenings helping Leslie to find the most suitable nanny for her baby. Leslie had enjoyed her first few days of motherhood and she was in love with her baby. She enjoyed holding him and breast feeding him, although she hated changing his diapers. After interviewing six nannies, Leslie finally settled on one nanny who seemed most suitable. The nanny kept coming to see them at the hospital for the next two days before she finally relocated to Leslie’s house. Leslie had chosen to move back to her parent’s house instead of getting another house. She had already informed the maids about the changes and the house had been set up accordingly. Leslie’s room had been adjusted to accommodate the baby and to ma
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 54: THE SINS OF THE FATHERS
William Garcia had always been a spoiled rich boy in the eyes of society. However, those who were close to him knew that nothing could be further from the truth. William had enjoyed the typical upbringing of any rich boy. He had attended exclusive schools with other rich kids and he had received quality education from the best universities money could buy. He also had access to large amounts of cash, which he could use in the name of a monthly allowance. Over the years, William’s allowances had grown. While the allowances would afford him fancy clothes and attendance to any entertainment spots in the past, the allowances had now leveled up. His father was now giving him enough money to lease property or even buy a new car at the slightest whim.Unlike his peers from the institutions of the rich and famous, William had never been one to waste money on frivolous activities. He had his share of wild parties and alcoholism during his te
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 55: TEMPORARY REUNION
The weekend had flown by and it was Monday. Pete and Jess were getting ready to head out when Pete’s phone began to ring. Pete looked at the caller ID and ignored it before putting the phone back into his pocket. It continued ringing as they were in the lift and then when they got into the parking lot. They were taking different cars because Jess was heading to NextGen while Pete was heading out to one of his businesses.“Who is bothering you so early?” Jess asked.“It’s mum. We haven;t talked in a while and maybe she wants to work things out. I’m not sure I’m ready,” Pete said.“Then tell her that or your phone won’t stop ringing,” Jess said, as she kissed Pete goodbye and got into her car. As she drove to work, Pete sat in his car and called his mot

Amanda drove home with shaky hands as she imagined the mess she had created. All sorts of scenarios run through her mind as she considered the magnitude of this problem. She had a throbbing headache and she was feeling light headed. It was time for her medication but she couldn’t take it until she had a meal. However, Amanda was in no condition to eat or even think clearly. She was so scared of how Don would react to the situation.as she drove down the driveway of the Garcia household, Amanda wished she could turn back time. She should have been content with building a relationship with her son, instead of being obsessed with giving him an inheritance. She would never have imagined that he was much wealthier than she was and he. Too bad that she couldn’t protect him from the other criminal elements in the world. Amanda walked into the house wobbling a bit. She needed to sit down but she couldn’t stop until she talked to Don. She aske

Jess's house sat in a compound of eight houses. The houses shared a front yard and main gate although each house had a separate backyard. Jess liked it because it was close to her place of business, but it was convenient and affordable. She had just come home from work and walked into the house. She was startled to hear soft music playing. The windows were open and the curtain swayed gently in response to the breeze. An aroma of meat cooking wafted into the living room as she walked towards the kitchen. She was pleasantly surprised to find William slicing some tomatoes. “Welcome home,” he said as she stood and smiled at him. “I thought someone had broken in,” Jess said, as she walked to William. “What kind of a thief breaks in and starts cooking?” he asked. He pulled her in for a gentle hug a
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 72: BACK TO BASICS
The afternoon was looking good for Jess after she drove away from the apartment. She had driven around for a few minutes and then she had decided to stop somewhere and collect her thoughts. It was then that she realized that she didn’t have much money and she needed somewhere to spend the night. She decided to drive to her bank and withdraw a substantial amount of money to get her through the week. Once she had done this, she drove to a small guest house on the outskirts of town. She remembered this place from many years ago when she was looking for a cleaning job. The receptionist had been really kind to her although she hadn’t given her a job. Jess had chosen this place because she wanted somewhere safe to park her car which currently held all her belongings. She also needed somewhere without a check out time like in a hotel, because she wanted to spend some time thinking through her next move. She was panicking at the thou

Back at the office, everyone was wondering where Jess had gone. Everyone in her department had seen her being summoned to the MD’s office and then they had seen her pack her things and leave. They all assumed that she had been fired for some grave error. However, none of them could understand why she had not said anything to them. She had left as casually as though she was going to the washroom, only that she was carrying all her belongings. It was therefore a surprise when William came downstairs looking for Jess. He looked round her desk and was surprised to find that her pictures had been taken down.“Where is Jessica Harris?” William asked the person at the next desk.“She left before lunch,” the girl said.“Where did she go?” he asked.

Jess had expected herself to cry after seeing all she had seen today, but it seemed her tears had been exhausted in the chapel. She walked to her car and sat for a minute while she tried to gather her thoughts. She did not want to go to William’s house because his mood had frightened her. However, after a few minutes, she convinced herself to go there so that she could pick up her stuff and then leave. Maybe she could get a chance to ask William what he was talking about and why he was so angry at her. When she got to his house, it was quiet as it had been this morning. Jess packed her things slowly as she was buying time for William to come home. When it got too late, Jess tried to call William but he didn’t respond. She looked around the apartment and felt like she needed to engrave it in her memory. She had been happy here for the time when she had been with William. She was going to miss him but her relationship with Pete

Jess hugged William for a long time and she let him cry on her shoulder. It seemed like he had been crying for hours when he finally calmed down. He lay on her chest as she rubbed his head and gently kissed him. He was tired from all the crying so he simply held her and didn’t say a word. His phone began to ring again while they sat in silence and William picked it up. It was his father asking him to come home. He thought to reject this request but then he thought that his father was the only person who could share in his loss. He told Jess what the plan was and they showered in separate bathrooms. William was not in the state of mind to drive, so Jess drove him home. One of the drivers from the hotel drove her car to the Garcia mansion. When they got there, William asked her to come in for a while but she declined. He hugged her warmly as he took over his car and then they went their separate ways. Jess dropped the driver at the h

Don was having a confused morning. He had been informed that his wife’s condition was deteriorating and there was nothing he could do for her. She allowed him to visit her occasionally although she had adamantly refused to move back home. William also visited her often but he made sure that Pete was not present. It was becoming difficult to achieve this because Pete had moved into the house and he only left when he had other issues to deal with. Don was having a hard time trying to avoid both William and Pete while managing to spend some time with Amanda. She was fading away in front of his eyes so he needed to do as much as possible to help her.However, this morning’s news had caught him by surprise. He had not bothered to check on the updates about Jess recently because her days were rather predictable. She went to work and then home to Pete’s penthouse. Occasionall

Jess woke up to the sound of a trolley being wheeled. She looked around the huge bedroom and noticed that it was just starting to get bright outside. The sun was just rising and Jess smiled as she remembered her night with William. If she had thought that Pete was the most passionate man, then she was wrong. William was a tiger in bed. He had never ending energy and he was eager to please. Jess had enjoyed every minute of their love making. She walked to the shower as she looked around for her clothes. She could only raise a few items, so she showered and put on a bathrobe. When she got out of the shower, William was just walking into the bedroom. He was already fully dressed in his usual immaculate suits.“Good morning,” he said smiling.“Good morning,” she said, smiling back at him. “You are ready so early.&rd

Warning! Sexual content coming upJess had one of the longest days she had ever had at NextGen. She had tried to get the afternoon off immediately she got in but as luck would have it she was chosen for a project. The briefing would be taking place in the afternoon and she didn’t have much of a choice. It was either she forfeits the project by missing the briefing or she takes the afternoon off and plans her move. She decided to take the project and sleep at the apartment until the weekend when she could find time to look for an apartment. Jess went through the day without much contact with her phone because of the busy schedule. By the time it was time to leave the office, she realized that she hadn’t spoken to anyone on the phone all day. As she scrolled through the notifications, she saw two missed calls. One was from Leslie and the other was from Pete. She called back Leslie who wanted her to come

“Good morning,” Jess said when she walked out of the bathroom. Pete was standing by the bed scrolling through his phone. He had just come home and he looked tired.“Good morning,” he said. He looked briefly at her and then looked away. Jess walked to the dressing table and began applying her cosmetics. Pete sat on the bed and was watching Jess from the corner of his eyes. He looked worried like there was something on his mind.“How was work?” Jess asked as she finished at the dressing table. She was taking out clothes from the wardrobe and putting on her underwear.“I wasn’t at work. I was at mum’s house,” Pete said. Jess raised her eyebrows in surprise.“Is everything
