Jessica smiled as she raised her head, gazing at her reflection in the mirror. Behind her stood a beautiful woman with long raven hair and mesmerizing blue eyes. One didn’t need to look twice to notice their striking resemblance. The woman’s hands ran gently through Jessica’s hair, combing it with care.“Mother,” Jessica whispered, her heart swelling with joy.This was a habit they used to share. When she was younger, her mother would brush her hair every night before bed. The thought brought tears to Jessica’s eyes, but she didn’t let them fall.“You’ve grown into such a strong and independent woman, sweetie. I’m so proud of who you’ve become and the achievements you’ve made so far,” her mother said, brushing her hair softly.“Thank you, Mother,” Jessica replied, closing her eyes. Everything here felt so right, so serene... so perfect.However, her mother’s next words sent a wave of panic through her.“It’s time for me to go,” Janet said, placing the brush on the table.Jessica turne

"Evan," Jessica muttered. She hadn’t expected him to come.She glanced at William before looking at Evan.Evan couldn’t contain the shock he felt seeing them together. However, he smiled and walked in fully."I brought flowers for you. They're your favorite," he said, placing them on the table."Thank you," Jessica smiled."How are you feeling? When I saw the news, I immediately called your personal assistant, who informed me you were here. It's a relief to see you're out of danger," Evan said."Yeah," Jessica muttered, glancing at William again. Surprisingly, he looked calm. Was it because of her current situation?Jessica sighed, deciding to tell Evan the truth. Besides, she had no reason to hide William from him."Evan, I don’t think I properly introduced him to you the first time you guys met," Jessica began. "So, meet William Newman, my husband."Husband? The word rang in Evan's mind. If seeing them together earlier had been shocking, this revelation was even more shocking.He ha

Silence.That was all that could be heard in the eerie room. Jennifer lay motionless on the dirty floor, unconscious. Her body was soaked in blood, and her face was so badly bruised that one could barely recognize her.With a groan, she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry, and her body ached intensely; she couldn't move a muscle. Those ruthless men had beaten her until she lost consciousness.Her vision began to clear, and the first thing she saw was a pair of legs, one crossed over the other. "Argh!!" she screamed in agony when one of the men poured a bucket of salty water onto her.The water seeped into her open wounds, stinging her terribly. Tears streamed down her face as she winced in pain.Two men came forward and lifted her up, tilting her head back. She slowly opened her eyes and locked gazes with William.Her blood immediately ran cold. What was William Newman doing here?William looked at her, his gaze cold and filled with restrained anger."So, you're the lady wh

Five days later…Jessica and Helena strolled through the spacious aisles of an upscale boutique, the soft sound of classical music playing in the background. Shelves were lined with luxurious items ranging from fine jewelry to rare collectibles, and Helena’s eyes sparkled as she browsed through the store.“I just don’t know what to get William,” Helena sighed, holding up an expensive watch before placing it back.Jessica walked beside her, observing silently. Helena had invited her along to help shop for William’s birthday, but Jessica felt oddly out of place. She hadn’t even prepared a gift for her husband yet, and the thought bothered her slightly.“What about you, Jessica?” Helena asked, glancing over her shoulder. “Have you decided what to give him?”Jessica hesitated. “I… I’m not sure,” she admitted. “I don’t even know what he likes.” she said, biting her lower lips.Helena chuckled, patting Jessica’s hand reassuringly. “Don’t overthink it. William will treasure anything you give

"Make me yours," she whispered.William stood there, gazing at her. He didn't expect this would be the second present she wanted.Taking steps to fill in the gap between them, he cupped her cheek. A smile grazed his lips as he spoke, "You don't have to feel obliged to do this. I don't want you to–""I want it, trust me." Jessica held his hand on her face, she looked down, her cheek redening even more. "I want you," she muttered.William lifted her chin to meet his gaze. Slowly, he leaned in to capture her lips. He lifted her in his arms, walking to the bed, their lips never leaving each other.He laid her gently on bed, her hands buried in his hair as they kiss. Something about him felt addictive, intoxicating.William broke the kiss and lowered his head. Jessica's breathing became uneven when his lips met with her chest, sending shivers down her spine.He peppered kisses on her body, trailing further down. When Jessica realized where he was heading to, she closed her legs, blushing.

“Let me have a taste of you.”Jessica furrowed her brow in confusion, hearing those words from the man called Oliver.“What do you mean?” she asked, even though deep down, she knew exactly what he meant.“You know what I’m talking about, Jessica. You’re not a kid. I can assure you that you’ll get what you want, and even more—” he didn’t finish his sentence, as Jessica cut him off.“I’ll have to decline. I have a boyfriend whom I love dearly. I’m not the type of woman who throws herself at a man just to get what she wants,” Jessica said through gritted teeth. She was boiling inside.Her gaze settled on the glass of wine before her. She badly wanted to pour it on his face, but offending this man would be a terrible idea.Jessica, a D-list actress whose dreams of becoming an A-list star had faltered with each rejection she received, made a living as a part-time model, using her looks and body to get by.She had thought of asking Oliver Martins, a famous actor she met two months ago durin

Earlier That Day...Rachael sat in front of the vanity table, putting the finishing touches on her makeup."Brandon, are you ready? We'll be leaving in a few minutes," Rachael called out."I'm almost ready, Mom!" Brandon replied from his room.Rachael checked the time and sighed, hurrying to finish up. Jessica must be waiting for her at the audition venue, but she still had to drop Brandon off at school first.Once she was ready, Rachael gathered her things, preparing to leave with her son. Suddenly, the door swung open with a loud thud, and a man stumbled in, staggering. He looked disheveled, badly beaten, and reeked of alcohol."Anybody home? Where the hell is everyone?" he slurred, gripping the wall for support.Brandon’s eyes lit up, and he ran toward the man. “Daddy!” he exclaimed excitedly.The man roughly shoved Brandon aside. “Get out of my way. I’m not your father,” he growled, glaring down at the boy.“Brandon!” Rachael rushed over, pulling her son into a protective hug. “Go

The next day, Jessica was seen hopping on one leg as she slipped on her shoe. Once she was done, she settled down in front of her vanity table to apply her makeup.Jessica hadn’t slept a wink the previous night; she had been busy rehearsing for the audition. As she dabbed on concealer, she made sure to cover the dark circles under her eyes, evidence of her sleepless night.Once ready, Jessica grabbed her things and left for the audition venue.Upon arrival, she was stunned by the huge number of actors and actresses present. The waiting area buzzed with activity, and Jessica could spot a few popular actresses she recognized from movies she had watched.Slowly, nervousness crept into her system. ‘If popular actresses are here, and some are likely to be rejected, what chance do I have?’ she thought.“No... Don’t think that way. Be positive, Jessica!” she muttered inwardly, taking a deep breath. She scanned the room for a seat and quietly settled in an empty chair, waiting for her turn.J
