Jessie's Pov"What?!"I couldn't help myself from the outburst. He doesn't mean that right. As he shut the door, I looked over at the kids to see them chuckling and at the same time with red cheeks. I never knew they can be this bratty all because of a damned truth and dare game. However, as my mind reminisced back to the kiss; my index finger trailed up my lips. I really can't believe I was kissed all of a sudden by Xander and not only that, the fact that my kids had intentionally did it caused a knot to twist right down my stomach. "Incase you want just another kiss, you're free to ask or you do it yourself." A voice trails down my neck and I slightly flinched back at his bluntness. Realizing all out of the blue that I had my finger on my lips this whole time, I took it away and heard an earsplitting chuckle from him. Why's he this close? Oh right, he's seated beside me now. "Dad, you're going go act on the first dare right? Cause you still need to marry our Mummy." Jayden chime
Jessie's Pov"I will throw her out." As if reading my mind, he intoned forcing me to an abrupt halt. Almost getting a whiplash, I turned towards him, greatly horrified. He doesn't know what he's talking about right? I shook my head, the expression on my face holding disbelieve whilst his is so stoic with seriousness. "Me being the owner of this abode, I have the full right to throw her out. It doesn't take me more than the snap of a finger. She won't be the one to dictate for me whereas you can. If you want her out, that can be done within the twinkle of your eye." He spoke, his voice laced with toxicity. I don't know why but I bobbed my head up and then down.I believe him. I really did even though I shouldn't. I stepped aside as he approached me, his hand tucked inside his pocket as he strolled towards the door."I can't-" Watching his retreating figure, I almost made the outburst when he turned around and whistled, pressing his index finger against his lips. "No objection. You'r
Jessie's Pov I want to get out of the car. Well, that's what I thought until I still can't find my body inching away from the seat. Each bits of his words kept taking me aback and currently, my jaw is slacked, finding it hard to believe he's truly taking me out on a date. One in which I wasn't informed of.As much as I wanted to protest, my mouth stayed clamped shut and I was unable to form a word. Totally speechless till he came to an halt at a magnificent restaurant and turned off the car's engine. Restraining myself, I feebly shook my head. Negatively."C'mon, let's get in." I heard him say as he got out of the car, rounding it till he reached me side and yanked the door open. Staring ahead of me, I stayed still on the seat like like a statue. Is this right? Going out on a date with him all out of the blue. Isn't it too soon behaving all lovey-dovey with each other?"Jessie." He called, his voice barely above a whisper as he urged. Meanwhile I shook my head yet again. "No. I'm no
Jessie's Pov"No way!" I slammed my hand on the table, so hard it boomed to everyone's hearing, causing dozens of eyes on me but I cared less. His demand wasn't only unexpected but also what stocks to the bone. All in return for a fucking job, he wants us to get married this week. I resisted the urge to laugh to his face and tell him the proper place to shove his ego. He folded his arms over his chest while staring at me with a huge fraction of smirk on his face. He obviously wasn't expecting me to react the way I just did. I shook my head and scoot further in my seat, knowing I'd rather wander about the whole of New York than accept the marriage deal from him."Fine then, seems you don't need the job anyways." He shrugged indifferently, focusing on his phone and scrolling through it, an indication that he's done eating and was waiting for me. "Tell me, is there anything have done? How on earth are you after my life?" I queried, staring pointedly at him as a strand of hair pulls up
Jessie's Pov Running my hands through my hair and then packing it into a ponytail, I hopped each one of them up and tucked them into bed. "Nightie night, lovelies." I pressed kisses over their foreheads before straightening up. After flickering the side lamp off, I made my way out of their room as I shut the door behind me. Not heading to my room yet, I used the backdoor and sat there at the balcony. My eyes fixated up the sky, I reclined into the seat nearby. After plopping down on it, I exhaled as all of today's activity roams back to my mind.Including how Mrs Tiffany had agreed to the wedding back then when Xander had forced me out of bed. As it left me with no choice, I couldn't decline. Though the day hasn't been picked yet, Melanie surely won't take it lightly with me that very day. I received reassurances from Mrs Tiffany but yet, that still wasn't enough.I shifted comfortably in my seat when I began hearing the sounds of approaching footsteps. Knowing that's possibly Xande
Jessie's Pov As soon as I flung the door open, I hightailed it inside and I was shocked to the narrow bone when my eyes at first came in contact with Melanie and then what the heck she's doing inside my kids' room. Before me was a scene in display- she's going about the room ransacking through their things why they kept running after her. Currently, Jake was holding unto one of her legs."What's going on here?" I voiced out, deciding I can't just stay mute and watch them. All at once, they all snapped their heads towards my direction whilst I crossed my arms over my chest, dubious at the act I caught them in. Most especially her - what on earth is she here for, and why's she looking this desperate stalking my kids' room. "Mum!" Jaxon grumbled, stomping his feet down on the ground as the rest pointed towards Melanie who scoffed, slamming their closet closed. " Tell your sons to bring my necklace out of wherever it is they'd it buried. Cause am not so sure I'll be taking it lightly wi

Jessie's Pov"Xander, stop!" Breathless, I dug my foot against the door and watched it as if flung open.His eyes snapped to my direction, as mine trailed up his arm to see him holding unto Kimberly's neck. He looks so furious that I began to wonder how Kimberly had the nerves to come right into his room and challenge him. I marched into the room, and pointed my index finger at my sister's neck while having my gaze fixated on him. Kimberly snarled, causing my gaze to waver and flip back to her."Can you just tell this scumbag to-" before she could end her words, I pressed my palm over her mouth and hushed her up. I looked straight at Xander, "Please, pardon her.""Next time, teach her to stay in her lane!" He spat, pushing himself off her and releasing her neck. She almost slumped down on the floor but I was quick to grab her, removing my hand from her mouth.Annoyed, I grabbed her forearm and stalked out of the room with her. Entering my room, I jabbed the door shut and shoved her i

Third Person's povTwo weeks later, the day of the wedding had finally arrived. Jessie stood in front of the mirror, dressed in a stunning white gown, her hair and makeup done to perfection. She looked radiant, like a princess out of a fairy tale. Outside, the guests were already gathered, and Xander was waiting at the altar, his eyes shining with happiness. As the music began, Jessie took a deep breath and started down the aisle. It was the moment she had been waiting for her entire life.As Jessie and Xander exchanged their vows, the words felt like a promise of a lifetime of happiness.

They had found their happily ever after.As t
Third Person's povThe hospital room was filled with police officers, all asking questions and taking notes. Scott stood in the corner, his heart racing. He had called them as soon as they had gotten to the hospital, hoping they would be able to help. But now, he wasn't sure if he had made the right decision. What if they couldn't find the person responsible? What if they couldn't make Jessie better? He felt like the world was crashing down around him, and he didn't know how to make it stop.As the police filed out of the room, one of the officers turned to Scott. "We'll be in touch," he said, his voice solemn. "We'll do everything we can to find out what happened and who's responsible." Scott nodded, trying to quell the panic that was rising within him. He knew he had to stay strong for the kids, but it was so hard. He felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders, and he didn't know if he could carry it any longer.As the police questioned Melanie and Sarah, the girls were
Third person's pov"But I'm glad you did it." She paused, looking at him carefully. "And I agree, I'd love to be your girlfriend." Fred couldn't believe it. He had only just met this woman, and yet he already felt a connection like no other. He felt as if he had known her forever, and he knew that this was the start of something special.Melanie stared at Sarah in disbelief. "Are you serious?" she asked, her voice trembling. "I can't believe you would even suggest such a thing. That's...that's crazy!" Sarah's face hardened, and her voice was icy. "Oh, so it's crazy to want to get rid of that gold digger who's stealing your boyfriend away from you?" Melanie felt like she had been punched in the gut. She had never imagined that Sarah would feel this way about her. She shook her head, her mind reeling. "You're wrong, Sarah," she said, her voice breaking."I know you're upset," Sarah said, her voice softening. "But I just want what's best for you. You deserve better than this. You des
Third person's pov When Xander got home, he found Jessie waiting for him, her eyes wide with worry. "What happened?" she asked, her voice full of concern. Xander took a deep breath, and then he told her everything. He told her about his conversation with Fred, and about the changes he had seen in his brother. When he finished, Jessie's eyes were shining with tears. "I'm so proud of you," she said, reaching out to take his hand. "You've done something truly amazing."In the weeks that followed, Fred and Xander began to rebuild their relationship. It wasn't easy, and there were times when the old anger and resentment would bubble to the surface. But they worked through it, and slowly but surely, they found a new understanding. For the first time, they saw each other as brothers, not as rivals. And as time went on, they began to rebuild their lives. It was a long and difficult process, but they never gave up. They knew that they were stronger together than they ever could be apart.T
Third person's povIt was a dark and stormy night when the gang met at their usual hideout. They gathered around the table, each of them eager to make their mark on the world. "We need to pull off the perfect heist," Fred said, his voice full of determination. "We need to rob someone who's rich and powerful. Someone who won't be able to fight back." The others nodded, their eyes glittering with excitement. But little did they know, their plan was about to go horribly wrong.The gang had their sights set on the fourth richest billionaire in New York, a man who had made his fortune in real estate. They studied his security, looking for any weaknesses. But as they were plotting their heist, they didn't realize that their plan was about to fall apart. Unknown to them, their scheme had been uncovered, and the FBI was on their trail. The net was closing in, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught.Fred sprinted down the street, his heart pounding in his chest. He turned d
Third person's povAs Jessie was getting ready, Xander knocked on the bedroom door. "I've got your car ready," he said, his tone upbeat. "My driver will take you to the party, since you said Melanie didn't want me there." Jessie felt grateful for Xander's understanding. "Thank you," she said, giving him a quick hug. "I know this is a little outside your comfort zone, so I appreciate you being so supportive." Xander gave her a smile. "It's no problem," he said, his voice full of reassurance. "Have fun tonight!"Jessie stepped out of the car and made her way to the front door of the mansion where the party was being held. As she rang the doorbell, she felt her heart pounding in her chest. The door opened, and there stood Melanie and Sarah, both of them smiling brightly. "Jessie!" Melanie exclaimed, her voice dripping with insincerity. "We're so glad you could make it!" Sarah gave Jessie a hug, and then they both ushered her inside. But as they did, Jessie couldn't help but feel a
Third Person's pov "Jessie, we need to talk about this," Xander said, his voice calm but firm. "Your jealousy is getting out of hand. You can't keep throwing things at people just because you're feeling insecure." Jessie's eyes widened as she suddenly remembered the food she had been cooking. "Oh no!" she exclaimed, running to the kitchen. Sure enough, smoke was billowing from the stovetop, and the pot of pasta was starting to burn.The maids hurried into the kitchen, ready to put out the fire. But when they saw Jessie standing there, they froze. They had heard the yelling and seen the pillow fly across the room, and they were afraid of getting caught in the middle of whatever was going on. "Um, we can take care of this," one of the maids said, her voice trembling. "You don't need to worry about it." But Jessie simply waved them away. "It's fine," she said, her voice shaky. "I've got it under control."As Jessie reached for the pot, her fingers brushed against the hot metal and
Third person pov The next day, Jessie's phone rang, and she saw that it was Melanie calling. "What does she want?" she thought, feeling a mixture of annoyance and curiosity. She let the call go to voicemail, not wanting to talk to Melanie right away. A few minutes later, she received a text from Melanie asking to meet for coffee. Jessie hesitated, unsure of what to do. On the one hand, she didn't want to see Melanie, but on the other hand, she was curious about what she wanted to talk about.Jessie took a deep breath and answered the call. "What's up, Melanie?" she asked, trying to sound casual. "I really need to talk to you," Melanie said, her voice desperate. "It's important. Can we meet for coffee?" Jessie reluctantly agreed, and they set a time and place to meet. As she hung up the phone, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Melanie's desperation was unsettling, and she had a bad feeling about what she might have to say.Meanwhile, Melanie met up with her friend, Sarah, who was
