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
Jessie's povMy eyes went round a huge fraction when I looked down right on the bed to see nothing but a piece of small clothing. Looking over at the maid for confirmation whether it's her handiwork or not, she looked sideway when she sensed I was about to speak." Why's it that you saw no other thing for me to wear but this? This looks all slutty." I almost screamed my lungs out out while I tried keeping my voice below an octave. Her silence meant something was up somewhere and I don't mind anyways, she must speak up or take her clothes back with her. "Ma'am, I was ordered to." Turning and facing me instantly, she cocked her head but I still wasn't that satisfied. Don't get me wrong, the cloth is actually not that small but hell, without trying it on yet, I know just how much like a kid's own it would be. No doubt, my cleavage is sure to be out to the open which I won't like considering the fact that she's here all of a sudden to pick a dress for me. "By who?" I asked even further
Jessie's povLooking out the window, I checked the wall clock only to grow even more pressured. It's almost 11pm and yet, Xander is yet to be back with the kids. Yes, I do know he went to pick them up from school but I can't help the budging suspicion. Tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, I opened the window even more wider and sighed into my palms as I brought both together.Had something happened with them or they left for somewhere else instead of coming home right away? Had they missed the way oe6- Oh no, that's not possible. Xander has been living here for only God knows so he can't suddenly miss his way, just like that. That's not possible.All of a sudden, my phone began to ring and I turned around a little, grabbing it in my hand before turning back to on the window and swiping at the receiver. It's an unknown number and even know I shouldn't have answered the call, my instincts screamed out the otherwise to me and I couldn't help it. Throwing my head back, I said into
Jessie's povThe moment I raced out of my room, I almost stumbled forward as I hijacked a random car key of Xander's from his driver. "Give me the damn key and instead of standing there aimlessly, I will be grateful if you use that second to open the fucking gate up for me!" I screamed, my voice so much aloof to my shock but then I didn't show and just dashed over to the car. Opening it and stepping inside of it, I flicked the key into the ignition and ignited it. I reversed out of the parking lot immediately the car's engine roared to life. "Opened, ma'am." When I heard an affirmative response from the driver, I bobbed my head up and down in a nod and gladly sped the car out of the mansion and unto the tarred road. I feel like a police official right now but the only difference is that am not capable of apprehending the culprit. I know of what am getting myself into and I know not to throw all caution in the wind. Because who knows, my life would be in a greater risk that this. I
