Jessie's Pov The day went by pretty fast. When it locks 8PM, I went to tuck the quintuplets into bed. I made sure to lock all the windows and left the side lamp on, knowing they wouldn't want to sleep in the dark. It's their first time innm here and they might get scared."Mom, you can put off the light." Jaxon purred just as I was about stepping out of the room. "Are you guys sure?" Twirling around to meet their eyes, I asked and there was no hesitation before they bobbed their heads up and down. Great, and here I was thinking sleepping in here while the light is off will set them off.Doing as per their request, I turned off the light before climbing up their big bed."Goodnight sweeties. As you sleep tight, have sweet dreams about momma. Okay?" I flipped my eyes over each one of them, my face beholding a big smile."And papa too." Jake buttressed, causing the smile on my face to practically drop unto the ground.And of course, I found myself nodding my head positively at them. I
Jessie's PovWith eyes closed, I await my death. Which never came as even before I knew it, a hand shoot out all a sudden and wrapped around my waist. I gasped, taken aback when the certain figure jerked me closer into his chest.Titling my head up, I was met with a pair of eyes gazing right down at me. "Damn it!" I heard Melanie cuss right by the stairs but I was too lost in Xander's eyes to cast a glance. All I knew was the fact that she stomped off right after, her heels giving away the clue.Realizing our bodies is etched closer to each other; leaving no space, I snapped into complete awareness before backing away from his touch."Who gave you the permission to touch me?" I asked him, keeping a poker face. He creased his forehead with his palm before letting out a sigh of distress, as though he wants to be anywhere but here."Had I not caught and held you in place, you would have fell unto the floor and break your bones." He responded and even I knew he was right, I crossed my ar
Jessie's Pov"I want to kiss you."Immediately he said that, my face drained of all colours. What the hell?! Has he gone nuts right up his skull or what?"Get away from me!" I lashed out at him, my hands pressing down on his arms in attempt to push him off of me but he was still standing there lushed against me like a statue. Now, what the hell had I just gotten myself into?"I know. I know it's mandatory for ladies to act this way at first with guy but I must have you know that I won't be backing away, not even anytime soon until you understand how it feels to be really wanted. By then, you'll be the one begging me to do to you all your desires." As he spoke, I wanted to swipe off the sly smirk on his face.What gave him the impression I'll ever be into him, huh? He'd better snap his head out of his daydream and get his filthy hands away from or around me."You know what? Return your silly offer back into your skull and make way for me before I scream out. You wouldn't want your secr
Jessie's Pov Frantically dabbing at the streak of tear with my index finger, I swirled around and turned my back on them. I made to walk off from the scene when I heard what made me stop. Turning back around, I was met with startled Melanie."Get off me, I want to sleep." Xander grumbled, slumping right on the floor when does as per his instruction and rose up to her feet.And that was when I realized he had came home drunk and she must have took that advantage on him. My footwear made a soft plush, causing Melanie to look side way, taking in my presence."How long have you been standing there?" She asked, not expecting to find me here. "Long enough to see how cheap you are." I replied, shrugging nonchalantly. Her face flared red immediately and without having to crosscheck, I know I just managed to get under her skin. At that, I mentally patted myself on the back."How dare you say that to me?" She scowled, angered. She must be feeling guilty just because I caught her in the act.
Jessie's Pov His hand- The way it held my wrist, his thumb unconsciously trailing over it, caused my breath to hitch. Briefly shutting my eyes, I opened it and snapped right back to my senses, realizing and wondering what the hell is wrong with me. Yanking my hand out of his loosened grip, his arm fell flat beside him. I ran a hand through my hair, glancing at the face towel in my hand. I begrudgingly went over to the window and clipped it shut before going back to him and pressing the towel back on his forehead. Knowing he's still fast asleep, I didn't spare him a single glance before walking out of his room.An hour later, everybody all except Xander who's still drubk to stupor in his room and Melanie who probably wasn't done because of the embarrassment from earlier.I seriously don't understand how a person can be that cruel. She poisoned Mrs Tiffany just so I would be alleged for the crime. Like, who does that? A matter of marriage is not worth taking a precious life all becau
Jessie's Pov"What the fuck are you doing here?" I yelped on the top of my voice, quickly snapping the towel from the floor and wrapping it around my chest. His eyes widened, realizing what the hell he had just done. Can't he fucking knock before coming in, huh?"Gosh, am sorry. I'm so sorry." He quickly muttered and then the door slammed shut. He was gone but I can't help palming my face in embarrassment. He saw me unclad. I should have fucking locked the door. I should have held the towel so tight. I shouldn't have even thought of rubbing lotion over my body. I should have just wore the robe like that. Heck, I shouldn't even have taken a bath.But hell, the deed is done. He had to come in while am nothing but freaking naked!I dashed towards the door and flipped it open, a frown on my face when I still found him there. "What are you even doing here?" As I spoke, I tried to keep my voice down as I looked sideways at the hallway. I wouldn't want any other person to know about this, w
Jessie's Pov Walking back into the penthouse, I was surprised when the dinning table hasn't been set. Seeing as the maids kept wandering about without doing anything, my suspicion arose and before I could help it, I was venturing into the kitchen.Just as I'd assumed the maids weren't doing anything, each of them were currently lazing around. "What happening here?" I spoke up, gaining their attention. They all turned towards me and one even shrugged, not knowing what to say."Ms Melanie told us not to cook anything till she's back. She went to the grocery store with about two maids to buy new stuffs. According to her, that's what she wants us to prepare this morning." One of them mustered up the courage and told me.Wait a minute, what's with Melanie and new recipes? And then, so one would eat until she's back, huh?"You know what? When she's back you can call me over." With that said, I left kitchen.I glanced at the wall clock that marks it's past eifgt. No doubt, she's going to m
Jessie's Pov Days later…I found myself checking up on Mrs Tiffany for the past two days more than I always have. Even my kids, have been going over to their room often and the one more thing- have been maintaining my lane. Ever since the discussion with Mrs Tiffany two days ago, have been staying on my lane and am really glad Melanie has been staying on hers too.That emotions moment with Mrs Tiffany two days ago has taught me a lot. I really have to keep staying on my way and go myself. I don't even want to cross path with Melanie again. Even though I know that's close to impossible since we are living under the same roof, I really hope there will be no collision between both of us again.Not like am scared or something, but I think it's better to stay away from her completely. Nobody knows remains therein her sleeves that she's still yet to pull.I don't even bother to go to the kitchen anymore. The dishes, meal and everything should be tend to by the maids. I won't want a situati
