2024-08-19 19:26:57As Jessica returned back to her family estate house after filling for divorce she was received with the warmest of hugs. She had been gone for a few hours to file the divorce papers and was just happy to be in their loving arms at last. Joseph Johnson, her father, released a breath of relief as he hugged her the most like a bear to its prey. He wasn’t going to let her stay in a marriage where she was used as a house wife while a side chic ruled over her. Such humiliation wasn’t going to be hers to bear.
Jessica was the first child of two children, causing her to be child saddled with the responsibility of taking care of her younger one and setting a good example. Her parents, Joseph and Janet, had raised her and her brother to never have a reason to beg or worry. Everything they wanted was provided as quickly as possible, so they never knew lack. But the one rule they both shared as parents was to never raise over pampered and spoilt children as they knew one day they would they’d hold positions of authority in future. Apart from raising them in the ways of God like every Christian family would, they ensured that their kids were also trained to be kind to members of society, whether poor or rich. It was for this reason that they accepted their daughter back home even when things went downhill in her marriage. “You’re finally free, Jessica Johnson” her mother said calling her by her birth name as she pulled her cheeks, welcoming her daughter back home. She knew she had pushed for their wedding but was appalled by what was going on in their marriage. Jessica’s family had always known that their daughter had always had a space for Ethan, her first love, which was why the idea of a wedding to strengthen the bonds between their families wasn’t a far fetched idea. It was every parent’s wish to watch their child’s dreams become a reality. They had come to regret this decision after the disturbing phone call from their daughter telling them how Ethan had been with another woman to find a way out of their marriage. As her parents, they regretted not seeing how Ethan was a wrong partner for their daughter. Jessica was the happiest woman in the world when she walked down the aisle to meet and get married to supposed prince charming but everything changed when it started to seem like she was a furniture in her home. Never receiving any form of affection or love in form of gifts or words. This shattered her parents heart when her call came in to announce to them that she was ending things with Ethan Mitchell once and for all. “A man who would get another woman pregnant just to chase my daughter away doesn’t deserve her and never will” her father, Joseph, said as he ushered his daughter into her childhood home. “You’ll find someone who will love you for who you are. I’m sure the boy is doing all this so he can start a life with his London assistant.” Janet Johnson added as tears of happiness rolled down her chin. Jessica wiped her mum’s tears as she knew more was going to pour down like rain when she finally reveals that she is with child. Deep down she was glad that she hadn’t let Ethan know he was going to be a father before he dropped his news of Olivia’s pregnancy. She and her child her dodged a bullet and this warmed her heart. This was the season to heal, love herself, learn to become a mum from the best mum in the world and maybe also meet someone who she’d fall in love with and settle down happily. “Pick a place darling and go there for vacation or self-healing retreat. You really need it.” her mother said as all three of them walked into the mansion that Jessica had lived all her life. She approached her childhood home wondering if this was the right time to let her parents know that she was pregnant with Ethan’s child or wait until she returned her trip with a huge baby bump to speak for itself. She couldn’t hold any longer and decided it was better late than never even when she knew how angry her dad would get knowing that Ethan sent a pregnant woman into the streets with his child in her womb. “Guys, I’m pregnant and Ethan’s the father.” Jessica announced as she rubbed her teeth against each other watching her parent’s react. “What? You are pregnant and he made you leave his house for another woman?” her mother growled angrily. “What a monster Ethan is!” her said furiously as he pulled out his phone to make a call to Ethan’s father. “Hold on, dad. He doesn’t know because I haven’t told him. I couldn’t.” Jessica replied as she placed both their hands on her belly to feel the child that was developing inside of her. “I totally understand why you would hesitate to do that. You have us and that’s all that matters.” Her mother said reassuring her of the support they would provide for her and the child. Her father, Joseph, was angry and furious with Ethan as he knew his friend, Ethan’s father, wasn’t a man that lived his life promiscuously. His was only happy that his daughter was free from the hands of that beast. “We need to leave to where no one can find us for a few months or even years. Come back when the child is now part of us on this earth.” Joseph urged his daughter, making her see it as another way of healing away from the city of Los Angeles. Her father saw this as the only for his daughter to heal and bring a child into this world without any chaos or crisis. He knew how much love his daughter had for Ethan and wasn’t to let her strong girl look deceive him into thinking that she would try to reach Ethan soon. If Ethan was to ever find out the truth and return asking for forgiveness, he was aware of how fast Jessica would return back to his arms. “If that makes you then I’ll oblige. Can we go inside now?” Jessica spoke with a calm voice and a big smile as she placed both hands around her parents. Her family was one of the richest families in Los Angeles, so moving the entire family to a different country was no hassle at all. Jessica smiled as she had finally taken a huge burden off of her chest and couldn’t to relax and catch up with her family. The truth being revealed was no longer of any concern to her as she was at peace now. Her joy was finally complete.

Jessica sat by her family’s poolside, watching the beautiful sunset dip down into the horizon far away from her. The orange glow of its fading light moved on the surface of the water. Her mother, Janet, joined her over at the poolside, a cup of warm tea in her hands. There was a moment of silence between them as both women took in the jaw dropping view in front of them.“You haven’t spoken to him about the baby, have you?”“C’mon mum. You’ve ruined the moment.” Jess sighed, taking off her sun shades to look at her mum with a sad look on her face.“I saw no use in telling him because he had made it clear to me where I stand in his life. There is really no need dragging him back into my life and that of my unborn child.” She finished, picking up her mum’s cup of tea and taking a sip as revenge for ruining the mood.“But you know he has a right to know, Jess. He is the father of the child.” Janet insisted, placing her hand on her daughter’s chin and turning her face to hers.“That still

Jessica sat in her bed room, staring at her suitcase which was packed only half way. Italy was going to be her escape, the fresh start she needed, far away from every chaos that came with her life in Los Angeles. But the battle for divorce, Ethan’s cheating, and the secret that was growing within her made things feel even more heavier for her.She placed her right on her belly, feeling the slightest flutter under her fingers. A bittersweet smile formed on her face as this happened. In a few months, she was going to be the mother of a child and the child would automatically become a part of Ethan’s life forever even though it would know him. “Jess, are you ready? Your father and the Thomas are waiting in the car.” Janet called out to her from the hallway.“Yeah, I’ll be there with in a few minutes.” Jessica replied, taking in a deep breath before pushing all those disturbing thoughts aside.They were headed to one last meeting with the lawyers to finalize everything about the divo

Jessica had been dreading the moment where she would have to meet up with Ethan again. She had stayed up all night wondering what he could probably want at a time like this, when the only thing they needed to finalize their divorce was his signature. It was obvious that they was no form of love between them, so why pretend when the truth was known. Yet here she was, sitting at a café that they man who had just destroyed her life had chosen.Her parents had tried their best to convince her that they was no need in going to see him, but nothing worked.“What’s the point of this meeting? He is a grown man who has made his choice to be with that woman so let him be, Jess.” He had said when she announced to them that she would be going over to meet with Ethan.“I know, dad.

Jessica sat in her family’s spacious living room, one of the many that they owned in their family estate. She was lost in thought, absentmindedly drawing out the outline of her tea cup while she sat. She had returned from the café a few hours ago, but her mind was still replaying all the events that had happened in there. It had gone worse than she had prepared for mentally and emotionally.Her parents both walked into the room, returning from an errand they had to run. They watched as their daughter sat unaware that they had walked into the room as she held her tea cup tightly. Janet, her mother. quickly took a seat which was opposite to where Jessica sat while Joseph chose his comfy armchair, watching their daughter entirely before she recognized their presence.“Earth to Jessica!”“We’ve been watching you for a few minutes and you didn’t realize that we had come into the room.” Janet finally spoke, breaking the silence and making Jessica conscious of her surroundings.

Jessica, sitting with both hands crossed at the back of her father’s G-wagon, could feel the ominous sensation in the air as they arrived.

It has been too long.” Mr Mitchell greeted, shaking the hands of his long time friend.“It has. I was so happy when I got the invitation.” Joseph lied, trying his best to not act angry at what his son had done to his daughter.

Jessica stood at the airport terminal, her heart beating in her chest as her parents stood by her in the midst of the active individuals who were either returning or traveling to their destinations. Her father, Joseph Johnson, held her on her suitcase, a part of him unwilling to let her go. Her mother, Janet, kept fussing about the coat she had picked out to wear for this trip. The chilly in the airport sipped into the terminal from the automatic doors that had placed been at different locations. “So are you ready? Italy will be a great start for you, Jess.” Janet said, smoothing the invisible creases on Jessica’s coat. Jessica let out a smile, though her heart was heavy with this decision to move to Italy. It was supposed to be an escape for her, the fresh start that she needed for her life. Five years in a loveless marriage where she was never recognized was enough to make her want to take retreat.“Yes, mum. I know and I’ll ensure that you both are able to visit as soon as possib

“Benevento, signora Jessica.” The driver at the airport terminal greeted her with a smile on his face as he got her suitcase and put them in his vehicle. His sleek black uniform and cap shone brightly against the beautiful morning sky in Italy. “Ahh, my bad. I am your Carlo, your personal driver in the city of Florence.”“Grazie” Jessica answered, remembering the word she had learned during her flight to Italy. It was still shaky but she had put in a lot of effort to practice for this new phase of her life. The long flight to Italy had been exhausting and draining but the beautiful landscape in the city of Italy took it all away as she watched her spirits begin lifted.“Long flight?” Carlo asked with another smile on his face because he recognized the tired look on her face. It was the same with the numerous passengers he worked with everyday outside the airport.“Yes, Carlo. Very long if I must say.” Jessica said, still taking the wonderful structures in front of her in the city of

The beautiful rays of the morning sun waltzed right into Jessica’s apartment, majestically taking over the entire space which welcomed it in through the large widows placed strategically in the apartment. She opened her eyes and studied the entire room since it was her first time waking up in her new apartment in Florence, Italy. Jessica stretched lazily in her medium sized bed, taking in the cool breeze that accompanied the sun like a partner in crime. Florence was going to be her haven for the next few years of her life, a place where would start her life all over, away from the memories in Los Angeles. Here, she could make a name for herself in whatever industry she chose and she would do this while raising a child.Jessica glanced at her clock on her bedside table. “Gosh, it’s already 9:30am. What time did I finally get to fall asleep last night?” She wondered, placing her feet into the comfy shoes that had already been placed by the side of her bed.Her antenatal check-up was in

The screen on Ricky’s phone dimmed, but the words from the text had been seared into his mind; Jessica curled up against Ethan, her hand resting on his; the intimacy he saw was impossible to ignore.He had come to the hospital with his heart racing, fear on every step he took, worried about Avery even though he and Jessica had just had an argument.Now, all he could feel was cold.The burn of betrayal wasn’t loud or fiery. It was still, quiet and creeping. Like a crack beneath the surface of something he’d convinced himself to forget. Deep down, he’d always known. But tonight made it real to him.His feet moved before he made the conscious decision to step back into the hospital.The door stood slightly ajar. Beyond it, the soft sound from Avery’s heart monitor pulsed like a clock to king down.Jessica stirred when the door creaked. Her eyes opened up slowly, then they widened as they landed on Ricky. She sat up fast, pushing herself out of the chair. “Ricky,” she whispered, alr

The rhythmic beep of the monitor was the only sound coming from the hospital room for a long while. Jessica sat next to Avery, her fingers brushing back the damp strands of her hair. She’d been humming, soft, quiet, just enough to soothe her little girl. The tune wavered here and there like her voice was on the edge of breaking forever.Ethan stood near the window, arms folded, watching both women.“She’s holding steady,” the doctor said to both parents, stepping into the room. “Her fever’s under control for now, but we want to keep her for observation. Her blood work shows signs of a viral infection, most likely the flu, but we won’t know more until the test results come back.”Jessica nodded, barely looking up at the doctor. “How many days?”“Two to three, minimum. She’ll need rest and fluids going into her. We’ll monitor for any secondary infections, just to be safe, so she doesn’t have to come back here.”“She’s going to be okay?” Ethan asked, his voice sounding tight.The

“Come on, Jess,” Ethan’s voice was tight with panic as he yanked open the car door. Jessica didn’t need to be told twice. Her heels barely even hit the floor before she was inside his car, slamming the door behind her. Ethan was already behind the wheel, his jaw locked, eyes cold and focused like a missile locked on a target as he reversed with a sharp turn.Her heart was already racing, but it slipped entirely when he blew through a stop sign on the road without slowing down.“Ethan!” She gaped, grabbing the dashboard.“Sorry, I’ve got this.” He said voice clipped. “I’m not wasting a damn second of our time.”Jessica twisted in her seat, fingers brushing Avery’s cheek. Her daughter’s head lolled in her arms like a doll, her skin flushed, her breath shallow and fast. Just as fast as they had returned to the house to get Avery.“Avery, baby, can you hear me?” she whispered, moving a strand of her daughter’s hair behind her ear. “It’s Mommy. I’m here for you, sweetheart.”Avery’

FEW WEEKS LATER“You can’t be serious.”Jessica sighed, placing the phone on her other ear. “Dad, I know this looks right, but Avery wants me to be there.”She heard her father’s disapproving silence stretched for a moment before he finally spoke up. “Jessica, this is Ethan’s family we are talking about here. They will use every opportunity to remind you that you lost custody of your daughter. Even though it’s only temporary.”“I know,” she admitted, rubbing her eyes. “But this isn’t about me. It’s about Avery.”“She’s an only child. She doesn’t understand what this is doing to you.”Jessica swallowed the lump in her throat. She understood what her father was talking about. Every moment spent around Ethan, his world, and his family took something away from her, leaving her exposed.But her little girl wanted her to be present. That was all that mattered.A soft knock at her apartment door made her come back to reality. “I have to go, Dad. I’ll call you soon.”She hung up and pulled op

“No, no, no...” Jessica’s voice trembled as she read through the words again, her fingers holding on tightly around the document as if she would squeeze enough and the ruling would change. Her vision began to blur with tears, her entire body going numb from the shock.“Jessica?” Ricky’s voice came but cautious this time around, the argument between them had been forgotten temporarily. She took a step closer, but she shut it down.“Sorry, but I need to be alone.” She whispered, her voice barely audible to him.“What? Jessica what’s going...”“I said I need to be alone, Ricky!” she snapped at him, her grief and frustration boiling over. Without waiting for him to leave, she grabbed a coat from the rack and stormed out of the house, slamming her door behind him. When he was ready he would leave and lock up.The cold night air hit her cheeks harshly as she walked aimlessly down the street. Her mind was a field of chaos. They had finally taken her. They hadn’t finally taken Avery. The cour

“I hope you haven’t come here to waste my time, Ethan. You know I am really busy.”Ethan exhaled sharply, running his right hand down his face as he chose to sit just across from his grandfather in his office in the Mitchell building. The old man’s piercing grey eyes watched Ethan from his mahogany desk, the weight of his grandfather’s expectations pressing on him like a chain, causing him to keep drowning in a river.“I wouldn’t be here if this wasn’t important,” Ethan replied, his voice controlled but tight as he composed himself in front of his grandfather.His grandfather leaned back in his chair, giving his grandson a listening ear. “Then get straight to the point.”Ethan hesitated for a moment before speaking up. “I would like you to meet Avery.”His grandfather’s expression remained the same when he heard that statement, his eyes gave off no sign of emotions in them. “And why would I do that?”Ethan clenched his fists in disbelief that he was hearing a question like this. “Beca

Ricky waited until the door clicked shut behind Ethan before turning around to face Jessica fully. Hisneus, usually filled with charm and warmth, was cold for the first time. He tossed the bouquet of white lilies onto the kitchen counter, the flowers landing with a loud thud.“You’re sure, huh?” Ricky’s voice was low, edged with something darker than jealousy, something very possessive.Jessica crossed her arms, leaning against the door as she steadied her breath. “What exactly are you trying to imply here, Ricky?.Ricky took a step closer, his jaw closing. “I’m not implying anything, Jessica. I’m just asking why was he here?”Jessica exhaled sharply, her patience thinning. “Because he’s Avery’s father. She’s been through enough today with the court hearing, and he wanted to check on her. That’s all.”Ricky’s laugh was bitter, nothing like the easy charm she’d grown used to. “Right. Just like that? No other reason?”She moved to the living room, putting space between them as she picke

Jessica sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the darkened window. The echoes of the courtroom still replayed in her mind. Avery’s eyes ran over with tears, Lois’s sharp words, and Ethan’s fixed gaze on her. She rubbed her eyes together, trying to push it all away, but the ache was relentless, carving deep into her chest.The apartment was painfully quiet, except for the humming coming from the city beyond her window. Avery had fallen asleep hours ago, holding on tightly to her stuffed bunny with a grip that mirrored Jessica’s own desperation. She thought about pouring herself a glass of wine but couldn’t summon the strength to do so. Instead, she sat in the silence, letting it swallow her whole.A soft knock broke through the stillness of the moment, pulling her from her own thoughts. She frowned, glancing at the clock on the wall. It was past eight. Who would be here by a time like this?She walked barefoot to the door and peered through the peephole to see Ethan standing there.

The courtroom emptied, leaving behind an air of tension that seemed to live out with Jessica as she hastily made her way through the heavy double doors. Her heels hit against the cold marble floor, each step echoing the desperation screaming in her heart.Avery’s cries still rang in her ears, fueling the urgency that she felt. She spotted her daughter in the hallway, her tiny body forced against her grandmother’s tight embrace, hiccupping as the leftover tears ran down her eyes. Jessica rushed forward, her voice filled with regret.“Avery,” she whispered, kneeling. “Baby, I’m so sorry. Please don’t cry anymore.”Avery lifted her face ruined by tears, her cheeks red from the continuous crying. “Mummy...mummy, you were yelling? Did daddy do something?”Jessica’s heart clenched when she heard her daughter’s words. “No, no, my love. Not at all. Mummy wasn’t angry at Daddy. I was...I was upset at something that was happening in there.”Avery sniffled, clinging to her mother’s arm this time
