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
