Drake had already started preparing the house for Jessica's sake. He wanted everything to be picture perfect for her before she moved in with him. He doesn't want her to dislike anything that she will set her eyes on in the house, but instead to be drawn closer to it. Even though she will be moving in with him next week, he saw it as tomorrow.
As he sat in his office going through some documents, his phone lit up and he saw an unknown number calling. He became anxious of who it might be, but as an endowed man, it could be a threat. He called Santo into his office and handed the phone to him to answer the call. He waited patiently as Santo kept objecting to the other number and kept yelling "WHO THE HELL IS THIS". but was just hanged up at the end. Drake noticed some sort of fret and anger on Santo's face then frowned. "Who was it". ".I don't know Boss, all he kept doing was laughing". he said silently. "Hahaha, I doJessica was about to embrace herself for what Amanda was about to say when she got a notification from her phone. She took it to check what it was when her eyes widened at what she saw. She couldn't believe it. Her eyes are playing tricks on her now. She became infuriated and wondered what Drake was doing with her. She had noticed how the woman gawked at him when they met at the mall, and that alone made her stomach turn. "Jess, what's wrong? What's with that look". Amanda asked perturbedly. Standing up, she said "Nothing, I need to make a call". she quickly dashed out of the room without waiting for Amanda's reply. She had to know what was going on. She knew she was getting jealous, but she didn't care about that if her man was about to be stolen. Drake was fuming with anger as they drove home. Deep down, he knew that if Victoria continued with this drama, it would not end well with him and Jessica. And the last thing that he wants
Drake couldn't control the happiness he was feeling. How vigilance Jessica was towards him made his heart explode with joy. He remembered back years ago when no one could even look at him. Though he was a piece of beauty, he had nothing in his pocket to provide for someone. His heart, though as soft as cloud, went through so much pain and agony. Any smile that lit up his face, later turned into sorrow. He was laughed at, he was mocked and he was tortured. But who could blame him, growing up without not knowing what a motherly love was. Living and being raised by a man was all he knew of, but nature seemed to have smiled at him. He had met someone who could remove the pain out of him. Someone who would want to share his pain, his sorrow. Jessica, this woman who took his breath away, who sealed the hole in his heart and gave him the contentment he could ever wish for, was about to become the mother of his child , what more cou
From her father's office, Jessica went to Drake's house to surprise him, and indeed, he was taken aback when he saw her and began his scolding. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at home resting". he said, leading her to a seat. Jessica looked at him in a funny way and then smiled. "What?". Drake asked. "What?". *Why are you smiling that way?.*Drake looked at her confused. "I just came over to surprise you, but you seem to be disappointed to see me". She pretended to be sad and let a tear fall down her cheek which broke Drake's heart into a million pieces. He swiftly got down on his knees in front of her and began begging. "Oh no, please don't cry. Look, I didn't mean to scold you. I was only worried why you left home without not calling me to pick you up. I was thinking of what could have happened to you if someone tried to attack the guards, which made me annoyed. Am sorry love, I promise I won't do that again o
Jessica reached up and gently touched his cheeks as he deepened the kiss, letting his fingers rest at the back of her neck and the other on her hips. She kissed him back slowly at first, then gradually with more need and passion. She tasted him and it ignited a fire in her soul. When she prayed the kiss should last forever despite the shock she was still in, he broke the kiss but didn't release her. Instead, he embraced her and she laid her head on his chest. She smiled at his sudden behaviour but when the thought of maybe because he was drunk which made him get turned on like this popped into her head, the smile disappeared. She broke the hug and decided to help him upstairs to take a rest. Whatever happened that made him dash out of the house and come back drunk will be discussed tomorrow. She called her mother to inform her that she would not be coming home tonight and will spend the night at Drake's place."" Within five years of the establishment of Solar Light Organizations L
He continuously trailed his fingers through her hair. And after some few minutes of sobs, she redrew back and looked into his eyes. She could see shame in them, but what could she do, someone had given false allegations which she hadn't done or planned to do. Just as he was about to apologise, the sudden ring of his phone sounded like gunshots, causing him to turn around. Light from the screen of the phone lit up the entire room. It took a moment for him to regain his equilibrium. He was fuming as he gritted his teeth in anger. Who could be ruining this moment. Why couldn't they wait till now. He looked at the caller and noticed it was Victoria. He raised his head up and looked at Jessica. She looked cute and innocent. To him, she was exotic and everything about her was languorous. From that, he rejected the call and switched off his phone, not wanting to be disturbed anymore. "Who was that?"She asked. "I don't think it
Later the minute turned into minutes and almost an hour when the door opened and there came in the lady he had been looking all across the country for. She gasped in surprise and they just stood there staring at each other till he broke the silence. "Hi." "Hello." "What are you doing here?" she asked. "I've been looking for you," he answered. "Well then, here I am." Eduardo stared at her for a while not understanding why she was acting this way towards him. He had thought she would be nervous if Belinda was around, that's why he sent her away but was rather being treated coldly. "Do I annoy you?" He desperately asked. "Yes." she replied. "Do you feel disgusted by me?" "Very much." "Do I look dirty to you?" "More than you could imagine." "Do you hate me?" "Y.."she stopped. She could hear disappointment in his voice, so decided to stop lying and tell the truth "..No... I love you, and always will." she confessed not feeling the least embarrassed. The
Sighing with relief, Eduardo crossed the part between them and enveloped her in a hug. He could feel her flinching but ignored it anyway.While he stared at her quietly before, Eduardo couldn't say that he was not hurt by her actions. He was astonished at her behaviour and to be frank, was very annoyed. He had thought he did something that annoyed her earlier before? Was it the money he offered to her and her guardian that had offended her. It took him time to assemble all he gave her before finally relying on the fact that, indeed, it was the money he gave them that made him receive these cold questions from her. But now thinking of what she had just confessed, all his worries had been washed away. Breaking the hug, she asked "What are you doing here? How did you find me." "Let's just say I followed where my heart led me to," he replied. "And your heart leads you here." she said with a smile forming on her face. "What can I say, you stole my heart." he said, giving
"I will pay you handsomely if the job is done well." he offered. "I don't need your money, I am interested in the guy anyway. All I need is for you to pave a way for me into his life, nothing else, get it." Victoria said, seeming derogated. Raphael was astonished at Victoria's authoritative voice. He had never met a woman this brave and wicked before. Now that it had been made clear, it seems he was not the only one interested in ending the relationship between his sister and Dracardo. And while he thought he had the most wicked heart of destroying one's life, this woman had proven she had the baddest. He had to give all the credit to Ruffy, for tracing her to him. Finally, he is now feeling some little bit of glamour building up in him. Oh, how long it has been since he felt that feeling. The feeling of seeing his sister suffer. The feeling of seeing tears in her eyes. The feeling of seeing her heart break into pieces. He thought of all the times he had failed to
