~JESSICA~
Clinton said before he jumped on the men and landed another punch to the man's face. “Clinton stop! Please!” I panicked, and then the security men ran and separated them. Jack was not even defending himself; he just kept cursing. “Fuck, bro. What the fuck? Shit,” he cleaned his blood. “What is going on here? Jessie to my office now!” My boss ordered. I was surely going to lose my job now, as Jack was his biggest client. “No, my wife is coming home with me,” Clinton said and held my wrist tight, I felt pain. "Well, if I’m not spending time with her, then I would like a refund,” Jack said. From his voice, you could tell he was angry. "No, no, no, Jessie is not the only companion we have; we have a lot; you can even choose to have five at the same time.” My boss begged, knowing him, I knew he would never give a refund, especially because the money was a lot. “I’m not interested in any other girl; as I told you, she is the reason I came here; it’s either she stays with me and finishes the night or I leave with my refund,” he threatened. I could see my boss panicking. "Fine, you finish the night with her,” he said and turned to me. “Get back to work, Jessie.” “She’s not getting back to anything; I said she’s leaving with me right this instant; in fact, she quit.” “What?” Both my boss and I said in unison, “Jessie?” My boss sounded shocked. “I’m so sorry, boss. I’ll sort this out and get back to you right now,” I said as I turned my attention to Jack. Clinton was still holding my hand. “Mr. Jack, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but I won't be working today; I’ll continue tomorrow,” I apologized. “You don’t need to go with him; I can give you whatever you want; just stay,” Jack pleaded. Jack was a lonely man. He was single as his wife slept with his best friend, and now they were getting divorced. That’s what I’ve learned from talking to him. "Jack, please, we will sort this out,” I pleaded. “Alright,” he sighed, and he walked toward me in an attempt to hug me, but Clinton blocked his way. What have I gotten myself into? “I’ll see you around, and you can keep the money,” he said, and my boss thanked him. I could see how relieved he was to see that Jack asked him to keep the money. When Jack disappeared, I followed my boss to the office after calmly asking Clinton to wait for me; he gave me ten minutes. *** “When did you get married?” My boss sounded angry. “I don’t know; I mean, I’m not sure if I’m even married to him,” I stuttered. “Listen, you’re a potential here; most clients come here because of you, but I’ll not have people fighting in my club for you; it could ruin my business. If you don’t sort this out, then I’ll have to let you go.” “It will not happen again, sir.” “Good, now I’m giving you a day off to go fix whatever issue with that man. With your job, marriage is not advisable, but if he’s willing, then there's no problem as long as you don’t come with a ring on your finger. You'll resume work tomorrow,” he said. I thanked him, then went to the dressing room and changed into comfortable clothes. Going back to the bar, I was shocked to see Loren sitting on Clinton’s lap. She was entertaining him, and he seemed to be enjoying it. Don’t get me wrong; I wasn’t jealous, just shocked by her behavior. I know this was her job, but I told her I was married to him. I cleared my throat to get their attention, which worked as they both pulled away. “Jessie will give you my number,” Loren shamelessly said, and he nodded. What the hell? I pulled Loren aside and whispered in her ear. “What are you doing?” “Getting a chance, isn’t he sexy?” “What? No, he’s not.” “Then let me be the judge of it,” she said. Knowing Loren, I knew she could make him fall for her; she had the skills to do so, as I learned from her. “He’s my husband,” I said, not meaning it—just trying to get her reaction. “But you don’t want him; please, if he asks for my number, give it to him,” she said. “You don’t know how lucky you are,” she added before hugging me to say goodbye. “You’re crazy. You have a boyfriend,” I reminded her. She just smiled as she pulled away, then winked at Clinton. “See you around, gorgeous,” she said before she walked away—she was flirting with him. Clinton and I walked out of the club with his hand tight on my wrist; his grip increased when we passed by men. I was shocked that they didn’t try to approach me or do funny things. They feared him. When we got to his car, I was shocked to realize that he did not have guards; most billionaires move with bodyguards. “So how did this happen? I mean, the marriage thing,” I asked as soon as we were both in the car. “Really?” He asked in disbelief. “Yes really? I mean, you just showed up here as my husband…” “You didn’t see the marriage certificate, and where’s your ring?” He was unbelievable. “Listen, whatever happened was a mistake; I was drunk or something.” “I don’t believe in mistakes.” I could feel his stare, so I slowly looked at him to confirm, and that’s when our eyes met. “I believe this is destiny; we are destined to be together,” he said and moved his lips close to mine. Now they were just inches from each other as he leaned in closer. I closed my eyes and my lips were ready only for him to pull away right at that moment. “We are going home,” he said. “What no. I have a life. You need to drop me off at my apartment, or I can order for a cab.” "Love, we are going home; we are married, remember,” he reminded her, and he started the car. There was nothing much I could do, as I knew men; I just had to wait for him to calm down, but I was still not able to control my mouth. Words slipped out: “I don’t want to be married to you; I’ll file for a divorce,” I said, but he didn’t respond. Now that Jade was back in my life, I didn’t want to complicate it by adding his uncle. I remained calm and made notes in my head about how I was going to explain that I had a fiancé. Just when I thought he was not going to respond, he started talking. “You know you’re really funny; you walked to me and told me you were ready to even marry me. I asked that we get to know each other, but you refused; you said you wanted to do what your ex did, and now after marriage, you think you can just toss me aside; I’m not your fucking toy.” He sounded angry, and I didn’t respond as he was driving. “You’re stuck with me now,” he added before he sped up. Finally, the car came to a halt, signaling our arrival back at his penthouse. “Welcome home, love,” he said, really getting on my nerves. As we got out, I had no choice but to follow him behind, as the main gate was locked. "Listen, I’m just 21. I can’t be married to you; you’re probably my father's mate,” I argued as we walked up the stairs. “I’m not that old,” he said with an evil smile on his face. “I know there’s a woman out there who wants a man like you, but that woman is not me.” “Who? Your friend and I must tell you, she’s quite boring compared to you; do you even know why I married you?” Now there, he caught my attention. “Why?” I asked curious as to why he married me, and he just chuckled and unlocked the door. He let me go in first and followed behind me. I was about to say something when he suddenly pinned me against the wall, his nose sniffed my neck while his hands explored my waist. “You have a sexy body, just perfect,” he said against my ear. He brought his face to mine, our lips were just inches from each other. He was breathing so heavily that his breath fanned my lips. “I have a boyfriend,” I said out loud, hoping he would pull away, but he didn't; instead, he leaned in even closer, and our noses were kissing. I looked away but couldn’t move, as not only was he holding me, but he trapped me; he stood in a position where I couldn't escape. The worst part was my legs; they betrayed me because I couldn’t feel them.~JESSICA~ I don’t know why but I closed my eyes as my lips waited for him. That's when he suddenly pulled away and I shot my eyes open. “I have to make a call, you know the bedroom. Make yourself comfortable, I’ll join you in a bit,” he said as he gave me his back. I knew where the bedroom was so I seized the opportunity and rushed to his bedroom. As I locked the door behind me, I caught some breaths. Exhaling out loud. “Shit!” I cursed as I made my way to the bed and took my phone from my purse. “Hi what’s up?” Loren said as she picked up. “Hey!” I was panting. “Jess, are you okay? What’s wrong?” “No, he kidnapped me.” “What? How can your own husband kidnap you?” She joked, but I was not in the mood. “Hey, did you give him my number?” “I’m kidnapped and you’re here asking for his number?” She was truly shameless. “You don’t want him, let me try my luck now.” “Okay talk to you tomorrow,” I said and hung up, ignoring her request. I sat on the bed still catching my breath
~JESSICA~ “Clinton, how did you get in here?” I asked as I removed my coat. “Is that how you greet your husband?” He sounded serious. “What’s that smell?” I asked as I made my way to the kitchen. “I tried to cook but it didn't turn out well,” he followed behind me, and it turned out the smell was from burnt eggs. I couldn’t hold my laughter. “So you’re telling me you can’t even fry eggs?” “Yes, why are you laughing?” He looked so innocent. “You never learned to cook?” I asked, “Why learn when you can just employ someone to do it? The thing is I didn’t know I would one day wake up married or I could have learned,” He confessed, no matter how angry I was with him I just couldn’t help but feel butterflies in my stomach, Jade had never even for once tried to cook for me. “Let’s eat out.” He invited me. “Of course, let me just put on a clean dress,” I said as I left the kitchen awkwardly, I couldn’t afford to start feeling something for this man. He was my fiancé's uncle. I c
She pushed me aside as she got in and I landed on the floor on my butt. “Jade! where the fuck are you?” She screamed. Jade came running with his pants between his legs.“Babe, I'm so sorry.” He started apologizing to her, I was still seated on the floor now watching them.“She seduced me, you know I'm a man.. I don't even know how I got…”“Get to the car. Now!” She ordered him and he went running. It really surprised me how he accused me of seducing him.“And you listen to me carefully.” She turned to me, I was still on the floor now looking at her, her confidence made me think maybe this was more than just a contract.“This is my second warning, I know you and Jade had some things going on but that's the past now I'm his wife, the sooner you accept that the better for both of us.” It was like a warning.“You don't want me to rest on you, trust me.” She warned before finally exiting my apartment. I didn't have the energy to even stand up and close my door, I just remained on the floo
Clinton drove us to his apartment. I didn't complain or say anything as he had just saved my life. I was in the bathroom cleaning up and when I was done I went to his wardrobe and searched for his pajamas. I didn't want to put on just any as I wanted to look attractive – well I need money –clearly it's only him who could help me at this point so seducing him was a great choice. I only put on his shirt which only covered my ass. I went to the living room and I spotted him in the kitchen, he had removed his shirt just in his trousers and guess what? He was holding a pan. I stood by the door with crossed legs as I watched his moves. He was humming to a song then as he turned he noticed me.“Just in time for dinner, you hungry?” He asked as he dished the food. My eyes were on his six packs, wow they were really outlined.“Maybe.” I playfully responded as I sat on the counter, he was avoiding eye contact with me.“You didn't find the pants?” He asked,“I did, let's just say I'm feeling h
WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT AHEAD! “Are you okay?” He turned and asked, realizing my uneasiness. I nodded and cleared my throat, he was now parking exactly next to Jade’s car. “Why are we here?” I asked, trying to sound normal as I didn’t want him to suspect me. “You’ll see.” He said as he got out, I didn’t even wait for him to come open the door as I followed him. “It’s a beautiful view right?” He asked as he looked around, I just nodded still uncertain of what was going on. We were now approaching Jade’s apartment, he was holding my hand and I couldn’t make any excuse to get away then luckily we entered the apartment opposite Jade's. That's when my heart settled back. “That’s my nephew's apartment,” he pointed and I just nodded, knowing well that it was – as he was my fiancé. We entered inside, it was much bigger than the rest, even bigger than Jade’s. Inside I noticed everything was new, there was a couch and a flatscreen in the living room. You could see the kitchen from the
He was looking around in disbelief.“I just got lucky okay, my boss helped me get it.” I lied and he looked relieved. “I see, so what? We're neighbors now? Jess, why did you even choose this location?”“Like I said, my boss chose it for me. Alright thanks for bringing my bag. I'm busy now.” I said dismissing him as I playfully pushed him out of the bedroom.“Alright fine, I'll go because my wife needs me, you know her condition. But I'll come by later.” He sounded like he was trying to manipulate me.“No problem, see you later.” I hoped when he comes over he finds his uncle undressing me. As he exited I did a happy dance before calling my friend.“Jess, I'm so sorry. I didn't honestly mean to.” She apologized as soon as she picked.“That’s okay Loren, I think it happened for the best.”“Wait what? Spill girl.”“Well there's a lot of tea, just come by this address.” I said,“On my way,” I hung up and sent her the address.I quickly went to the living room to wait for her because knowi
“Jade, meet my wife Jessica, Jessica my nephew, the one who stays in your neighborhood.” Clinton introduced.“Lovely to meet you.” I brought out my hand with a smile on my face. This is what I wanted, to see his face when his uncle introduces me as his wife. His face didn't disappoint me, he looked exactly like I pictured him and most importantly he looked scared. Clinton held my hand as he led me in as if he knew what was happening.“This should be Jessica.” A lady took me in a hug as soon as we walked in.“Yes,” Clinton confirmed. She pulled away and hugged Clinton while I spotted Lucy seated on a couch, she was eyeing me in a way that one might think she had something to say.“I'm Grace, Clinton's only sister. Come and meet my daughter in-law.” She said, taking my hand as she led me towards Lucy's side.“Darling, meet my sister in-law, Jessie meet Lucy.” She introduced us – and to think she was supposed to be my mother in-law was just crazy.“A pleasure to formally meet you, Jess.
“I know about you and my nephew. I know he is your ex fiancé who got married without properly breaking up with you.” He revealed, I just remained silent and ashamed. Was this the end of me?“But listen,” he said as he cupped my face. We were just alongside the road waiting for his car.“I have you now, maybe that’s how we are supposed to meet so I please request you stop talking to him and if he does, let me know. Promise?” He looked desperate, so I touched his hands from my cheeks.“I promise.” I said, meaning it, I was done with Jade. But I was not going to fall in love with Clinton —not after my experience with Jade.“I registered you this morning with a law firm, you’ll just attend for months then you can get your qualification. I don’t need to ask you to quit your job as I’ve already spoken to your boss.” “What?”“Yes, he charged me quite an amount though, he said he would come up with ways to make you quit.” He explained which made me understand why he pushed me to the bar, he
