SIX MONTHS LATERJordan's POVI get out of the Ferrari after parking in the driveway.It is past 9 pm already and I am damn tired. I left work early today because I feel I need to rest so I won't end up sick.I have been working hard these past few days and I am already considering a vacation soon, with my baby Lily. She is two months old.I take long strides toward the house with my briefcase while losing my tie with my right hand. I exhale deeply when the tie is off and my phone rings Immediately.It is Richard and I wonder why he is calling me thislate."Congratulations to the jack of all trades", he screams."Jack of all trade?" I furrow my brows in confusion.I have no idea what the idiot is talking about. He always call at the wrong time, either when I am too tired of his drama or when he wants to tease me about something and I will end up telling him to shut the f**k up."Yeah, master of none", he chuckles. I feel like punching him for making such a silly joke. I am tempted to
Damien's POVI flutter my eyes open when I feel the sudden seeping of sunlight into my room. The flash is directly on my face and I know someone is behind it. As soon as I adjust my eyes to the bright light, Paige drops a large file on my bed, almost slapping my face.I glare at her as she stands with arms akimbo. I yawn loudly and sit upright, laying my head on the headboard. I wonder what is wrong now. Last week, we fought because of the girl I had sex with in the club.We fight almost every week, she is either accusing me of being unfaithful or complaining that I am not giving her enough attention. She loves nagging and I have threatened her with a divorce when she does that again.I married her for a reason, not because I really wanted a wife and now that I have achieved my aim, I don't even like her no matter how sexy she tries to look. I am tired of her and getting pleasure from some other woman is what I want."Why did you wake me up?" I question her with eyes closed and my he
Tessa's POVThis new lifestyle of mine is beginning to bore me to death. Being a good girl for more than 6 months and not having the time to sneak out to parties with Zoe is frustrating but I feel it is time to break free from my father's hold and watchful eyes.I hate corporate outfits but I find myself wearing them for more than 5 months now.I find myself going to work with dad every morning, just so I can appease him. It wasn't fun at first until I stumbled upon Williams and one other guy who is a new intake. Williams and I became really close and I began to feel coming to work is worth it as far as he keeps admiring my sexy dresses and shapes.I now barely remember how depressed I was months ago about the humiliation that befell me but I guess I was able to get out of it because of how fast the videos and pictures about that night went off the media. I don't know if my father is the one responsible for doing that or Jordan but I am grateful to whoever did it. I don't know if I
Cassie’s POVI am in deep shit, I mutter inwardly, as I increase my pace, trying to run away from the bitch. I thought she had gone into hiding when I didn't see her after the award night but I got to know I was wrong when she came to the mansion to look for me after Lily's birth.I didn't allow the maids to let her in and here she is again.I never knew she works here too, I wouldn't have come looking for Tony. He asked me to come so we could grab lunch together. Since Lily was asleep in the nanny's room and I was bored being at home, I decided to come over to his work so we could talk and eat at the company's cafeteria.Something beautiful is already springing up between Tony and me and I am damn scared this bitch will ruin it. I am less concerned about Jordan getting to know, my fear is Tony.I haven't been able to summon up the courage to tell him I am married to a man I don't love. I haven't been able to tell him about my baby. He hasn't asked me either and I hope he doesn't ever
Jordan's POVThe knock on the door makes me raise my head from the paperwork in front of me. I didn't go home last night and I wonder if it is Cassie. I am used to her show of concern, even though I keep telling her it is unnecessary.At first, anytime I see her waiting up for me whenever I close from work late, it puts me off but now I like the fact that she waits up for me sometimes. But these past few days, she barely does that and I think it's because of the baby. My precious gem, Lily.It felt like a dream the day she came to the world.Even though I was expecting her to give me a male child, I fell in love with Lily at first sight. She has my blue ocean-sharp eyes and I love everything about her. I made a vow to protect her with everything in my power.That day, I felt a soft spot for Cassie and I appreciated her for giving me Lily, one of the best gifts ever.To show her my gratitude, I accompanied her to the graduation ceremony the second day after Lily's birth. I stayed in th
Chapter 71Jordan's POVIt's been so long since I came to a bar. Richard rarely comes out these days as he used to in the past. I really have no idea if what I discussed with Pamela on my birthday is what is making Richard serious now or if it is because Richard has decided to become a responsible man.I sit silently, sipping my drink and thinking about the information I got from Tessa. I wish I didn't see the picture, it keeps flashing in my mind, even when I close my eyes. I don't want to be angry but I can't help it.I was distracted and I had to leave work so I could calm my nerves. I wish Richard is here with me. I tried his number but It wasn't connecting.It's been so long since I last felt this disturbed. This disturbance is stopping me from working and I don't want it.I wonder who the guy is and where they know each other from. Is he her ex-boyfriend? Are they back together? Does he know about me and her baby?I can't find answers to the questions. I sigh and take a gulp fro
CHAPTER 72( Tessa's POV ) The ringing sound of my phone wakes me up from my deep slumber. I groan and stretch my hand to pick my phone from the side drawer with my eyes still closed.When the phone is in front of me, I open my eyes to take a peek at who it is. Trevor's name flashes across the screen and my eyes open wide.Trevor and I haven't talked ever since he called me before I left for the award night. I felt used and didn't bother to call him and he hasn't called either until now.What the hell does he want? I ask myself.This is the same person I gave my body to, who promised me heaven and earth if I gave him what he needed so I can get what I also need in return. He only used me. I was so stupid to have let him have his way with me.Father will definitely disown me if he gets to know I had sex with Trevor. He was mad at the sex with Damien and he refused to talk to me for days but I know if he knows about what happened betweenTrevor and me, he won't hesitate to disown me, j
(Jordan's POV )I would have gone back to the bar I was at last night if only I wasn't this tired and hungry. I remember I ate nothing last night and this morning too, I only ate a few snacks as lunch and the sex with that blonde was something else.She reminded me of Tessa, she was wild in bed, just like Tessa. She wouldn't let me be. But this morning when she requested money, I remembered her instantly. She was the whore I brought into this same house months ago before Cassie and I got married.I gave her some money and told her never to come back. I was glad I used protection, I wouldn't have brought her in if only I knew she was a slut. I don't like girls like that. Knowing who they are turns me off.I swing my briefcase tiredly and drag my feet to the door, the moment I came out of the car. I am pretty tired and I want to go to bed after having dinner.I just hope Cassie isn't waiting for me like she did yesterday. I was surprised to see her in the living room. I figured out th
