31: A Savior

JESSICA’S POV Bishop walked into the office, his eyes etched on the tab in his hands as he dropped it before me. With arched brows, I picked it up but my eyes went wide as I saw the news. Brian was arrested?! I blinked twice to see if I was seeing correctly or not. “When was this?” I asked him. “Yesterday.” He responded. “Why was he arrested?” I dropped the tab, not bothering to look at the content because I knew whoever released his arrest to the public would have put a very misleading content. “I had agent Lee investigate it and he said that he met De’Royals.” my ears perked up at that name. De’Royals. He was our potential competitor in the market but I have never met him once since I became the CEO. “And how did that lead to his arrest?” “He was said to have lost control and punched him across the face. He just has broken two to three of his cheekbones and probably his plastic nose.” He grimaced as he said the last part. I quickly googled De’Royals and his face appear

32: A Debt

BRIAN’S POV I let out a groan as I walked out of the prison, scrunching my nose at the pungent smell of urine and excreta. I gave the cop that has come to call me out a hard look as Angela’s shriek snatched my attention. She didn't rush to me as she would have done which made me sort of relax. I definitely cannot be stressed over her right now. I walked over to her and she smiled lightly at me before leading me out. I wanted to ask her if she was the one who helped me to get out or Royals did but it was unnecessary. I was out and that was all that mattered. Entering the car and settling inside, I allowed myself to be carried away by the scenarios outside through the window as Angela’s breathing became audible. I glanced over at her and then looked away. She would be fine. We soon reached the house and she was the first to step out though she waited for me. As we arrived at the doorstep, I caught her hand she let out a gasp, a scared look in her eyes as she looked into mine. My e

33: A Date

JESSICA’S POV Staring at the glittering necklace inside the box, I contemplated once again if I should wear it. I lifted my gaze to the stunning reflection of myself in the mirror and a tentative smile took over my lips. Freddy had invited me over for a date at his place and since we were married, I just needed the publicity of this. He had said that he would use this to our advantage and I guess that was what he was doing. Finally picking up the necklace, I wore it around my neck, and the fake wedding ring Freddy had bought for me was glinting on my finger. It itched me to take it off but I knew that I was bound by contract and I needed to uphold my part of the deal. Putting the final touches to my face, I stood to my feet and admired the beautiful gown my business associate, Loren, had sent to me. Loren was one of the few people who had taken it upon himself to make sure I looked like the heiress that I was. Bishop had introduced me to him that year and I had felt really wear

Chapter 34"You would have to go to the school. You were invited," Yvonne told me, giving me a pleading look. I didn't want to. The last one I went to, I regretted it but it was for the best. I knew that. I wanted to shake my head but agreed later. The event had to do with encouraging younger generations to have ambitions and aim higher. I knew this was helping my reputation but it was hectic and strategic, not manipulative. Finishing up the files that needed attention, I rose to my feet and exited the office. Making my way to the car, Yvonne had already settled at the front. I entered, exhaling deeply as I pulled out my phone to check the stock exchange rate and also go through the news. Yvonne tried to fill me in on the issues with other clients but I stopped her mid way. I needed to focus on the script I would reading to the kids even though she had taken care of it. I needed to make sure it was proper and not excess. Finally, we reached the entrance and we were let in. One of t

35: Indiffrent to Me

JESSICA’S POV “Good morning,” Brian greeted the moment he stepped into the office. I glanced up at him and took note of his dressing pattern. If there was one thing to always adore about Brian Knox, it was his style of dressing. It was always distinct and HIM. I schooled my face into indifference and didn't bother standing to take his hand. He stopped before my desk, staring at me with... Cold eyes? I blanched but caught myself. “You have your seat.” At least he knew proper etiquette. He sat, splaying his arms on his thighs as he looked up at me. “I'm sorry the notice came late to meet. Bishop has been busy with taking care of some things and I didn't get the time to talk to you.” I apologized first. It has been two weeks since our meeting at the party and he must have thought that I was avoiding him because of what had happened. I didn't blame him. He shouldn't have lost control like that. “I understand. I've also been busy with other things. Let us get straight to the po

36: Stubborn

ANGELA’S POV My feet tapped against the floor as anxiety gnawed at me. My heart beat erratically in my chest as I stared down at the caller’s ID brightened on my phone screen. Why was he calling me? Hasn't he done enough? The pain? The torture? The torment? Is it not enough? I hated biting my nails but here I was biting them like they were the only things that ascertained the fact that I was alive and not dead. Royals was doing way too much and I was running out of time. If I didn't get what I wanted, I might have to bend to his will. The ringing stopped and relief washed through me. It was short-lived because he dialed it again and the ringing tone of my phone blared loudly. With trembling hands, I picked it up and answered, hoping my voice didn't give away how fearful I was. If he noticed, he would prey on it and that would be worse than it was already. I swallowed hard, clearing my throat. “Why are you calling me? Aren't we done already?” I asked him almost immediately. He

37: Seeing Her

BRIAN’S POV I watched the ladies who were busy clinging to stupid men who did nothing but spend their money drinking and whiling away time. I scrunched my nose in disgust as the ladies giggled and the men laughed out loud. I let out a hiss as I twirled the glass of whiskey. “You really should not have overacted in that way.” David chastised as we both sat before the counter. I knew it was just a matter of time before he would talk about it. I closed my eyes briefly, hating the fact that I was reminded again.BRIAN’S POV I watched the ladies who were busy clinging to stupid men who did nothing but spend their money drinking and whiling away time.

38: The Party

BRIAN’S POV “Brian, do you think I should wear this dress?” Angela asked for the umpteenth time, showing me a purple dress I knew that it would not fit her but I nodded a yes because I wanted to be done with all these. After she had dragged me to the boutique, all I wanted was to leave as soon as possible. A frown crossed her features and I momentarily held my breath to see whether she wanted to continue or just pick the damn gown and get out of this place. Thankfully, she took it and we headed to the receptionist. After paying, we exited the boutique and drove straight for the house. There was a business party and I was invited. I couldn't go there without a date so I asked Angela to accompany me. She went on to ramble on how she didn't have the perfect for the party. I got tired and took her to the boutique. On reaching the house, I went to my office to sort a few things before going into my room to change. The event was happening in the evening which was a few hours from

39: A Punch

Chapter 39 BRIAN’S POV Freddy stepped closer to me, holding my stare as a smirk curled on the edges of his lips. “What do I want?” He asked quietly. I arched my brow. “Yes, what do you want exactly?” “How does it feel to watch your wife hanging around my arms, huh? You must feel extremely jealous.” He clicked his tongue, shaking his head. I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to rile me up and I would not lie, he was doing a great job at it. My fist clenched tight in a grasp as my jaw hardened, glaring daggers at him. I was not going to act on impulse. This would only make Jessica weary of me. I should not… “Have you ever thought of how she moans in my bed? When I take her deep and hard? How she begs to control her? Dominate her? Ruin her?” He leaned closer as he whispered the last words. “Do you even want to know how she looks forward to sleeping at night with me? How she send me love texts every now and then at work? Guess, you missed all of that when you were

40: Uncle Nelson?

Chapter 40 JESSICA’S POV “How did the business party go last night?” Bishop asked, taking me by surprise. He never asked about things like that but then… “Met with some of father’s business associates and I asked them to support me when the need arises.” I sighed, taking off my glasses. “Those old men cannot be fully trusted. Seeing the way they turned on your father when he died, I would say you shouldn't trust anyone of them. They are all twisted.” He explained. I nodded, taking in what he said. Over the past few years, Bishop has made sure I didn't have to depend on any of them and he kept reminding me why I should not depend on them. They were nothing but wolves looking for who to prey and considering the way most of them were against my taking over the empire, I learned the hard way. At some point, I took it upon myself to prove to them that I was more than that but after Bishop lectured me. We had lost a million-dollar deal to one of them and I had been depressed, worrie
