All Chapters of After One Night : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Jordan’s POV I walked through the crowd, my head held up high as I collected the champagne Rob handed to me. Attending a party wasn’t what I planned on doing after series of meetings, but here I was anyways. I arrived in London the previous day and attended all the business meetings I had. Rob had called me up since he knew I was in London and invited me to the birthday party of Mr Hart’s daughter. Mr Hart had always been someone I looked forward to working with in the near future. The old man was filthy rich and had an aura I desired. Rob knew how much I adored him and so brought me along for the party. “Bro, I can’t believe we missed the introduction of his daughter. I heard rumors she’s really hot. Maybe I just might ask her to be my girlfriend.” Rob teased. “Come on Rob, who’s Angel to you?” I asked, clearly pointing out the fact he already had a girlfriend. “Angel’s someone I love. I still have rights to admire this Jessica chick, you know. We can just get laid one or t

Jordan’s POV “We commend your servant to you, O Lord. Receive her into your arms of mercy and grant her eternal rest.” The priest said the last prayers as the surrounding sobs grew louder. I watched my mum being wheeled 6feet underground. The strongest woman I knew but yet she fell in the hands of death. I clenched my teeth and fought the tears that struggled to roll down my eyes as I threw a rose on her coffin, saying my last goodbyes. Fiona cried so much I felt sorry for her because she was so close to my mum. One could think Fiona was her daughter and I could feel the pain she felt. Auntie Maggie as well lost her best friend, and I lost my mother, the woman who raised me with so much pride, giving me everything I could ever ask of, but now death took her away and I wasn’t there to protect her. The cemetery grew empty as Attorney Dimitri walked up to me with sadness in his eyes. “I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum, child. She was an exceptional woman and a warrior indeed.”

Third Person’s POV It had been two days since Fiona and Jordan got back to their place at Evergreen. Jordan had resumed his work and Fiona had not done so much. She had woken up from bed to find out Jordan left as usual without offering a word to her. The feeling something was off about him kept taunting her mind, but she shrugged the feeling away and carried on with her plans for the day. Fiona got a call earlier from Jake saying their dad needed to see her, so she got into her car and drove to Jake’s condo. In no time, she got there and let herself inside. “Oh, baby sis, you made it. I thought we needed to kidnap your husband so you can leave the house,” Jim welcomed her sarcastically, like he always does. “You’re crazy Jim. Where’s Dad?” she asked, paying no heed to his statements. “Right this way, ma’am.” He said as they made their way to the dining table. “Ahh, right on time for a meal, dear.” Dave said as he saw his daughter he hadn’t seen in almost two years approach

Jordan’s POV “Baby, I and Jake aren’t that close. All I know is he used to be friends with my late father.” Fiona said, looking me straight in the eye. “Why? Is something wrong?” I ignored her question and continued typing the message I wanted to send to Rob. He’ll be flying in tomorrow. “Baby, hello, talk to me. Is there a problem? You’ve just been ignoring me lately and I know something is wrong, so spill.” Fiona snapped her fingers in my face. I had received a letter from Attorney Dimitri earlier and what he wrote left me feeling like an idiot for not giving a listening ear to John. So I tried reaching to the number John used to get to me, then I realized he must have left the country like he said he would. Jake Baxter had threatened Dimitri to have me sign a fraudulent document that would benefit his family’s business, and there was only one person who knows how I operate with documents. My witch of a wife. Fiona must be working with Jake and from what Dimitri explained,

Jordan’s POV My headaches were becoming worse by the minute, but I had to make sure Jane was safe from her hostile boyfriend. Earlier, I had him locked up and found Jane a new apartment to stay in. I told her to take some time off work as well. Once she got in to the apartment and I was sure everything was okay, I left. I had told Jerome to set up an appointment with the investigator tomorrow, but I was eager to hear what he had to say, so we rescheduled. It was 5pm now and we were headed to a not so popular café out of Evergreen. We stopped in front of a small building in a lonely alley that smelled of sex and cheap weed. The cafe was tucked away on a narrow side street, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city “Jerome, are you sure this place is safe?” I asked, trying to ensure I could trust this investigator. “Boss, this place is safe. It’s my neighborhood and nothing can happen to you here, I assure you.” He nodded and smiled. Indeed, it was his neighborhood. I cou
