CHAPTER 53: SCHEMERS PARADISE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A 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

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

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

The NextGen office at lunch time was always so noisy. Jess had never gotten used to how loud the staff got when this break hour. She put her phone in her bag and decided to head out when one of her colleagues stopped her. “Are you heading out?” the girl from another department asked. “Sure. I love that new cafe at the corner,” Jess said. “Me too,” the girl said. They went downstairs talking casually and then the girl asked something unusual. “You were friends with Pam right?” “Not exactly friends but we worked closely together,” Jess said. “So do you have any idea why she quit? I heard she is moving back home which is miles away,” the girl said. “I didn’t even know that she quit or she was movi

“You are going too slow,” Luther said to Amanda.“She’s heavy,” Amanda said. She was out of breath at taking Ella downstairs. Both Luther and her were holding her arms on either side of their shoulders. They were almost next to Luther’s car but Amanda was lagging behind.“Let me just carry her,” Luther said. He picked up Ella and carried her while asking Amanda to open the back door. She opened it and he placed Ella on the back seat. After strapping her to the seat with the seat belt, then Luther closed the door. He found Amanda leaning against the car. She was sweating profusely and she looked like she would be unconscious in the next minute.“Are you sure you are ok?” Luther asked.
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 59:GOOD PETE
Pete had a very long day after listening to Jess and William chatting like old friends. To the best of his knowledge, Jess and William had not been in touch since he saw them chatting at her father’s burial. In the past, he had never had such worries because he had always made sure that he did not form any attachments. Ella had been his first girlfriend and she had broken his trust in women completely. After that, he used women and paid them off as though they were retail objects. However, everything was different with Jess. It wasn’t just because she was attractive or smart. Not even her old washed up clothes could have been enough to hide her beauty. He had wanted to kiss her even when she was just wearing flat shoes and a maid’s uniform. It wasn’t her intelligence either. He loved her witty conversation enough but it was more than that. It was her genuineness. She did not care whether she was talking to the ric
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 60: WHERE IS TODD?
Ever since baby Beaver had been born, he had turned the Scott residence into his throne. Everyone was at his beck and call and he was only unattended when he was asleep. He had noticed how he would get attention with a single cry, and he capitalized on it. He managed to wrap everyone around his cute chubby fingers with his sweet smile and warmness when he was held and given the attention he demanded. The workers in the house were always willing and ready to take care of him and Leslie was not as overwhelmed as most new mums. However, she was still recovering from the pregnancy and childbirth, so she occasionally experienced periods of loneliness. This Saturday was one of those days. Jess had come over to visit her and she had found her curled up in bed with the baby sleeping next to heray“Hi,” Jess whispered.“Hey. Come in
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 61: HOW DO YOU MOURN IN SECRET?
“What do you mean Todd is dead? You promised me that you let him live,” Jess cried in dismay.“After I left him alone, several members of the other gang got to him. He didn’t leave town fast enough and they finished him,” Pete said. He knew he had to lie in order to maintain his relationship with Jess. Besides, she had no way of verifying the truth.“ What I’m I going to tell Leslie?” Jess asked with tears rolling down her face.“There is nothing to tell. Just stick to the story I told her,” Pete said as he took Jess into his arms to comfort her.“When did you find out?” Jess asked as she lay her head on Pete’s chest.“When

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
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 71: THE MONSTER CALLED LESLIE
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.
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 70: HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL
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
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 69: MOURN WITH THOSE WHO MOURN
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
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 68: SURPRISE SURPRISE
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
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 67: THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
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
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 66: TOGETHER AT LAST
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
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 65: ALL BY MYSELF
“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
