"Where's Jessica?"

Mom asked the moment I walked into the house with our lunch.

"She's at mine I dropped her off after picking up our lunch, she said I should be with you until Larry got here and said to bring lunch."

"I'm not hungry,"

"That's what she said to, that's why she sent me here to make sure you eat your lunch."

Mom smiled at me and sit on the dining chair while I plated our lunch and she was telling me that dad was resting in their room, still woozy from the painkiller.

"Jessica, she's nice, so it's official? You're her boyfriend now?"

I stopped and looked at her then nodded plastering a big grin on my face.

"Yeah, I'm lucky that she would have me as hers."

"Right, so...I talked to that nurse Maggie back in the hospital, the one who was with that handsome doctor," she expl

Relax, we have employees paid for doing their jobs.""But you're a control freak." I rolled my eyes at him, I learned about his work ethic when I looked into his company for the buy-out.His workaholic attitude was one of the reasons why I chose to be bought out by his company.

    TylerWe just got back from having dinner with my parents, where I was also checking up on dad knowing that mom might push him over the edge with the constant care while he's still being in an arm cast.There was a look in her eyes right after Jessica had a conversation with mom, she seemed uncomfortable because of it. But instead of talking to me about it, she told me that she's tired when we arrived at my place.I decided to let her go knowing that I need to talk to Larry. There were several miscalls from him, and usually, he texted if it's really urgent, so I gave him a call back while putting Jess's issue on the back of my mind."... her client, Brodie MacMillan, he's adamant that he wanted their account to be handled by Jessica instead of me, us.

    JessicaIt was the awaited day, the relaunched of the Robinson Finance. It was supposed to be a business relaunched, but somehow the marketing department decided to change it into a gala with a special orchestra performance, extra publicity, and a whole lot of guests.Tyler said we're showing people that the company was coming back with a bang. But they surely throw a lot of money into it that I was not comfortable with at some stage."I still think it's too much, and you wouldn't even let me peek at the cost, and... even Kayleigh couldn't get your finance to show her the rundown."Tyler looked at me smugly, he looked too damn handsome that I melt in his arms the second he pulled me in."The Richardson needs to show off their support, we are taking over what used to be one of the best financial companies in the country.

    TylerIt was Sunday, and I was getting agitated already, we haven't had a clue on who was responsible for the placement of the photos. The CCTV was conveniently unavailable in that part of the area. There was no way of knowing who actually put the envelope there."So, has Bruce reported anything? any leads?" Larry was coming over to my place, he would visit and chill on some random Sunday afternoon for a lazy time. But since Jessica, it's been a while since he'd come over to my place.He took the beer from my hand and sits his ass on the sofa, Jess was having her afternoon nap, while I have just finished a meeting with our security head Bruce Steward."Bruce said that it's most likely a woman's doing. It looked personal. He had cleared Brodie and some of her employees that she had to fire when the company had money issues. Even Elsie was cleared, now he's going on for another route, lookin

    Jessica"Boss, seriously, you should tell him. He's going to freak out when he finds out from his security guy."Kayleigh was waving the note in front of my face while she kept on reminding me of the danger of the situation."Kay, I'm perfectly safe, I'm staying at his place anyway and working beside his office. What could go wrong? Bruce's men are scattered around us and he even has a couple of them stationed outside the office.I was actually kind of surprised when Bruce laid out his security plan with Tyler and me. I didn't think so much manpower was going to be involved just to keep me unharmed. But obviously, Tyler would lock me in a glass cage if he could, he actually said it and I believed him one hundred percent.With that thought I was back to my loyal assistant who looked at me, giving me her judgemental face."...but he's in a freaking meeting a

I thought she was abused, and now you're saying she loves him and wanted revenge?""She was his longest assistant before everything else happened and she was under the assumption that he was practicing BDSM stuff with her. She was covering the tracks really well, and if my guy didn't find out that she was a patient at a psychiatric hospital when she was still in high school, we wouldn't dig deeper.""But she said Troy had another assistant that she was hired by her?""Kayleigh lied, or in this case, she was telling her version of the truth.

Tyler will be worried, let me give him a call, I can't believe I left my phone."My feelings were a bit strange, I know I'm safe with Kayleigh. But I also know I put my phone in my purse, she said I probably dropped it and her phone battery was dead so for the next couple of hours I won't be able to contact Tyler."...he's going to be so pissed at me.""Yeah, well we'll call him once we get there. He loves you, you'll get away with anything."I know she was joking but for a second she sounded a bit sarcastic.

    TylerI let Dale and Bruce deal with Kayleigh. She was alive, crazy, but alive. Unfortunately. I would lock her up for good myself if I could, but I know Jessica would feel guilty when she found out the real reason why Kayleigh did it.It was a sickness, a deranged twisted sickness.Going through her phone, I called her doctor friend Rebecca while Jessica was still staring at the blank TV screen sitting on the sofa with a blanket draped over her body."Hello, Rebecca? this is Tyler's Jessica's boyfriend...yeah, we need you here right now, bring your doctor kit. I'll explain everything later...no, just superficial wounds. I know she doesn't like going to the hospital...and I might need your opinion should she have other bruises...good, thank you.

I shouldn't have taken Larry's invitation for a late hour drink with him saying that it's my last night as a bachelor and that we should at least drink to that.Knowing Larry, he was having another fight with Gemma, I couldn't say no to him. But come morning I was still a bit light-headed and mom had been asking me if I was having second thoughts."What? no! don't be ridiculous mom, of course, I'm not, I love her.""Okay, but you need to sober up, she doesn't need you hangover on her wedding day," she said as she patted my tux and make sure I look presentable."Oh, Tyler...I'm so proud of you.

We can start from down under, the best way I always say," the CEO looked at me with a smug smile on his face which only accentuates his handsomeness making my heart beats just a little bit faster as he said down under.Damn the man..."You can't be serious? we can't just take one year off work?"

That was why we postponed this dinner.""It's okay, I understand. Hopefully, it'll be all happy experience from now on. You better treat her right, Tyler. She had enough bad ones already." Mom hugged me and told me to go keep her company while she finishes up with the dinner preparation."I will mom, you know I will." I kissed her cheek before leaving mom so she can go back to instructing the chef and his little crew back in the kitchen area.My feet brought me to dad's side where I join in on their conversation. "Son... Jessica here is a keeper. I told you, didn't I? have you thought about the little Tuscany villa I mentioned last week?""Dad, not now..." I whispered h

I thought it'll be easy, but I didn't expect the pounding in my chest as we reached the lobby of the psychiatric hospital.His driver opened the door for me, and Tyler hold out his hand and helped me out of the car."Your hands are cold, you're feeling nervous?" his voice soft as he took my hand to the crook of his arm."A bit," I laced my fingers with his, trying to take in the warmth, the comfort of his love then I decided to take off my ring and give it to him right there and then."Just in case I forget."Tyler nodded and kissed my temple softly, whispering that it'll all be okay and that he'll be there for me.It didn't take long before the man I recognized as Kayleigh's doctor walk towards us then greeted us, saying that Kayleigh has been expecting me.

Tyler was being straight protective of me and didn't like where our conversation was going."I do, but she was my best friend for years and she did somehow help me cope with the aftereffect from my abusive brother. I just need to see her, even if it might be my last time. I need to close that chapter of my life,"He knows my implication by saying my past as the dark chapter, the memories that I don't want to revisit. He knows I needed the closure."Let me call her doctor, your meeting will be supervised. I'm not risking you being hurt again.""Thank you,""Jess, you know I'll do anything for you.

    TylerA couple of days ago, I was more than a bit shocked when I find Jessica was having lunch and laughing freely with Elsie."I'm not sure I like you making friends with my ex," kissing the nape of her neck, I pulled her back flat to my front."What, why? I'm having coffee with her later this afternoon." She turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my shoulder pulling me lower for a deep sexy kiss. Jessica was looking beautiful in my t-shirt and her lacy panties and nothing else.It was our lazy Saturday morning thing, I love spending hours cozying up with her in the penthouse, and sharing my weekend time with someone else was a thing that I'm not willing to part. I'd have her locked in my basement if have one, that's how possessive I was of my fiancée."Seriously? but this is our weekend, I even move mom's thing to Monday. You know she hated that, and

The voluptuous assistant said as she kept her eyes on my engagement ring."Elsie, thank you for helping me out."It was one of that mid-week office madness. My new PA decided that it's a good time for him to have a meltdown and be the drama queen and leave me to my office affairs. He was my third PA after Kayleigh, and I'm not sure I'll be getting her replacement anytime soon.That morning Elsie had been helping me out because Tyler was out on a meeting across town and won't be coming in until later that afternoon. He was attending another big emergency after Larry decided to have a day off probably having his sexual adventures with one of his women."Thank you again, for helping me out.""It's the least I can do after what happened to you."
