All Chapters of Husband For Hire : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

A wave of nostalgia swept over Jesse as he stepped into the lobby of Standard Flour Mills Limited. Years ago, he'd been the general manager of this company but Helena had taken that position from him out of spite and left him with nothing but now... Well, now he couldn't exactly say why he was here or what he was here for but he was keeping his fingers crossed that the surprise would be a dream come true."Good morning Mrs Arroyo, Miss Arroyo and Mr Billion." The receptionist greeted them. "Mr Allen awaits your presence in the conference room.""Good. Lead the way dear." Aviva smiled at the lady.The receptionist led them to the elevator and they got in. She pressed the button for the top floor and the elevator began its ascent."Rebecca." Jesse called."Yes sir?"."Is... Helena in the building?"."Yes sir. She arrived not quite long." Becca replied."Thank you." He sighed."What's wrong?". Bella asked him."I was hoping I wouldn't have to see her face." He muttered. "But wishes aren'

Over the next few days, Alexa fully began her mission to seduce Jesse into noticing her. She sent him text messages, pictures and even began to dress more provocatively. Bella noticed this new attitude of Alexa's but didn't think anything of it and let it slide. It wasn't her place to tell Alexa what to wear and what not to since she was an adult and even gave Alexa some fashion tips which pleased Alexa immensely.Jesse however was ticked off but didn't know what to do. He definitely couldn't tell Bella that he was the reason for the sudden change in Alexa's fashion sense or that she was into him - although he was yet to confirm from Alexa if it was true but putting two plus two together from her text messages was enough evidence to prove that Abby was right.He could fire Alexa but then he'd have to explain to Aviva and Bella why he fired her and he didn't have it in him to tell them the reason.Friday came around and Jesse invited his friends out for a drink and to hang out since i

Two weeks laterJesse sat at the bar in the club waiting for his friends while nursing a beer. He was supposed to be heading home but he needed to unwind after a hectic day at work. He had to be well prepared for the business summit that was coming up which was why he stayed longer at the office but thankfully Bella understood the difficulties that came with owning a company as big as Standard Flour Mills. She was after all the president of her own company."Hey honey." Helena joined him at the bar. "I'm surprised to see you alone without your bodyguards." She sneered.Jesse glanced at her and sighed. "My God Helena, please leave." He pleaded. "We'll chat next year.""Very funny." She chuckled. "Buy me a drink.""Order what you want." He grumbled.Helena waved the bartender over. "Two shots of vodka. Neat." She told him."Planning to get wild tonight?". Jesse asked."Hmmm hmmm." She nodded. "And I'll also like to get down and dirty with you." She winked seductively at him.Jesse roll

"What do you have to say for yourself young man?". Vincenzo leveled him with a look. "Nothing sir." Jesse replied. "Except that... I'm sorry for hurting your daughter. It was never my intention to.""I would like to tell you that my daughter will get over this and forgive you but... I don't think so." Vincenzo informed him. "There's so much heart break her heart can take.""I understand sir." He nodded."The woman in the video... where can I find her?". Vincenzo asked."She lives across sir." Jesse answered in the same monotone voice. "Oh really?". Vince raised a brow. "You were in her house then?"."She... took me to a guest house. It's owned by Harrison Allen.""Hmm." Vince nodded. "Can I tell you a secret Jesse?"."Yes sir.""I had a thought on the plane that... I'll put a bullet in your brain immediately I set my eyes on you but... I realized that it was too extreme so I settled for another thought." Vince got comfortable on the swivel chair. "I'm going to take back everything I

Two days laterJesse just stepped out of the en suite bathroom in his office when the door to his office was opened and Helena walked in looking very furious and totally ignored the frustrated secretary behind her."What the hell Jesse?!". She bit out. "You ordered security not to let me in?"."I'm really very sorry sir." Eucharia apologized. "I couldn't stop her in time.""Don't worry about it." He told her. "Just get a security personnel to stand outside. She's going to be escorted out soon.""Okay sir." Eucharia eyed Helena balefully and exited the office closing the door behind her.Jesse ignored Helena and went to sit down behind his desk. If he continued ignoring her, she'd get tired and leave."You know very well that I always win this game Jesse. Ignore me however long you want but I'm not leaving until you hear what I have to tell you and I think it's really childish of you to change your number." She chastised him as she took a seat."Say your piece and leave then." He said.
