Jessica took the kids to see their father. The moment of reunion was bliss for her. Although they didn't stay long, the warmth from their presence lasted till the day he was discharged.It was two weeks later. Jessica had informed Angela and her parents about the discharge. She wanted Angela to bring the kids to the hospital so that they could all go to Edwin's house straight.Angela was happy for her. She knew that it was a huge step toward their coming back together.Jessica was at the pharmacy, collecting his drugs and their prescription. Edwin refused to remain in bed. Although he couldn't move his shoulder or raise his left arm, he could actually walk very well. So while Jessica was busy downstairs, he packed their stuff with his one hand and went down to meet her, pulling the bag behind him.Once she sighted him coming, she quickly went to collect the bag from him."I told you to wait!" She scolded. "Why so stubborn?"Edwin chuckled. "I can walk. I'm not crippled. And, I'm too e
Edwin was recovering really fast, and Jessica was happy being around him. Being around him and the kids together made her feel like a wife.She would prepare breakfast in the morning, bathe the kids, feed them, and prepare them for school. Sometimes, Angela came to pick them up. Sometimes, she took them herself.Levi had been discharged but he was still recovering from the internal injuries. Jessica continued paying him because he had only entered that state because of the kids.Friday before the weekend, Edwin watched Jessica perform all her duties and his heart fluttered. He couldn't take his mind off the fact that she cared about him enough to stay beside him in the hospital, refusing to let him be touched by anyone else except her. She even learned to clean his wounds just so that she could take complete care of him."Why are you staring at me?" Jessica inquired. They were alone at home. "Isn't it time to change my bandages? I've bathed and they have not changed for three days al
Angela came out from nowhere to congratulate her for being engaged to Edwin. She hugged her tightly."Girl! You're getting married!" Angela squealed. "You know, I totally knew about the engagement and I shipped you guys! I gave him all the assurance he needed! You should have seen him. He was a sorry mess." Jessica glared playfully at her. "Oh so you knew and you refused to tell me? I knew something was fishy about the sudden request to go out."Edwin laughed and pulled her closer to his side. Before she could refute it, he turned her and kissed her deeply. Jessica's face went a very dark shade of red and she didn't know where to keep her face after being kissed like that in public."Pervert." She muttered."Baby, your husband to be? You call me a pervert? Do you know what this pervert can do to you?" He whispered. "I could make you scream, and in a good way.""Ahhh!" Jessica screamed and pushed him away, only to have him pull her back. Edwin held her tightly as if she was going to d
Everyone was in a frenzy! It was the day of the wedding and Jessica's dress wasn't delivered yet. They didn't know if it was going to fit.Angela kept making calls and calls. She was in charge of the preparation. She was the one who chose the venue and the event planner.Jessica's mother had been around her as well. Edwin's mother was also around but she was a little wary around Jessica. They had apologized and Jessica had forgiven them but they still didn't know how to get along fully with her. Abby was even closer to Jessica during the period of the wedding. Seeing all the clothes that had been brought into the house, she totally assumed she and her mother were going to play a massive dress up game that involved Angela and her grand mums.By the eve of the wedding, the dress finally came. Jessica tested it and it was perfect."This is the only reason I'm giving a three star rating to your company!" Angela deadpanned. The tailors were very apologetic. No one knew that Edwin had call
On a couch in an extravagant living room, a girl with flowing golden hair covered her face with a thick book and a laptop on her lap. Her slender yet well-manicured fingers were moving in an irregular pattern. She was busy typing furiously, all her attention on the screen before her. Her whole body oozes elegance and style for a nineteen-year-old girl.Her neck was covered in a thin rudded diamond necklace. Her wrist was holding a simple yet attractive watch and those luscious lips were squeezed into a pout as her focus was on what she was doing.Tapping away on the laptop, she looked like a serious student studying for her upcoming exams but the reality was different."Damn it! Why can't I get past their walls? This is so damn frustrating! Haa! Just a little more, Jessy! You hate to lose!" The girl murmured to herself in determination. A glance at her will draw you straight to those emerald green eyes that looked piercing yet strikingly alluring and those brows were so thick that i
Jessica stared at the person beside her father. Wasn't that Uncle Lincoln, the head of her father's laboratory company? Why was he with her father?She looked at her father and it looked like he was a little pale. Was something wrong? And why would this man come to their house? She remembered her father having a heated argument with him some months back. "Jessy, won't you say hi to your uncle?" Mr Graves said to his stupefied daughter."Hi, Uncle Lincoln!" Jessica said, dryly. There was something odd about this man that Jessica doesn't like but his father seems to trust him so much."Jessy, you are growing into a fine woman. How are your studies? I heard from your father you would be graduating soon. Good luck! " Uncle Lincoln said, smiling.Jessica simply forced a smile out before continuing what she was doing. Her mind was feeling uneasy but she can't tell what it is.As she was in deep thought, her father returned from escorting Uncle Lincoln out. She adjusted her mood and smiled
Groaning loudly yet sleepily, Jessy tried to switch off the alarm ringing continuously for some time now."I just want to sleep a little! Let me sleep, Mr alarm! Why can't you just cooperate with me this once?" She murmured, covering her ears with her pillow.She wants to sleep more! Last night she stayed up late trying to break the walls of the bank and after trying relentlessly for five hours, she finally did it at exactly 11:55. The crash lasted till exactly midnight. There was a light tap on her door. She knew who it was but she was just too sleepy to care."Miss, your bath is ready. You have less than an hour to get to college" A cheerful voice said."Yeah. But Aunty Maya, I just need five minutes to get there. Why can't I just use the helicopter? Dad isn't going on any business trip out of town" Jessica said, covering herself with a thick blanket." Just twenty minutes to sleep and I will be in school in less than five minutes""Miss, your father left early this morning and the
Two Years Later"I need an iced coffee!""Jessy, table two needs two iced coffees and an Americano""Two lattes and an Americano for table four"Jessica's head was filled with different orders. She wondered why her second hadn't signed in yet. She was supposed to drop an application at a company that was recruiting workers in an hour. She had to leave early to arrive on time.Jessica tried her best to satisfy every customer so she won't be scolded by her grumpy boss. That man would bring down the roof on her if any of the customers complained. He was too stingy to hire more workers even when he knew they required more hands. Jessica had taken up several jobs so far and now she was working at a coffee shop just down the street. She prefers working there because there is no need for transportation. After all, it was just down the street. During lunch, she could simply skip over to the house to have her lunch. All in a bid to save money. The twin's education had to be taken care of in
