Bound by a billionaire

~JESSICA~“Damn that Albert! He's a fucking scum of a man and he's not even worth your tears. He's not even worth you. It's his loss baby girl. He lost!” Grace, my step sister, said angrily after I told her I caught my boyfriend of three years cheating on me with my best friend.“And Isabella is a snake! That snake! That sneaky bitch! I knew it, I suspected she didn't really like you. She just got close to you so she can have access to Albert. That fucking snake!” Grace lashed out at Isabella too.“I feel so broken and hurt. I thought he really loved me but he's just using me. He said it to my face that he's just using me. I shouldn't have gone to his house without his notice and I wouldn't have seen him with Isabella” I lamented.“So you prefer to keep being in the dark while they have fun and laugh at you behind your back?? Look, it's a good thing you found out already. It's time for you to move on with your life. I never liked Albert for you anyway, he's too

~JESSICA~ The rays of the sunlight entered the room and shone brightly on my face. Silently, I cussed out Grace for opening the curtains while I'm still sleeping.I opened my eyes and closed them immediately as the sunlight rays almost blinded me. Weakly, I drew the curtains close and sat up before opening my eyes again.It was then my hangover hit me hard and I quickly held my head in pain. My head was banging so bad. It's as if drummers were playing loud and hard drums on my head.“Arghhh. My head hurts” I groaned out in pain, still holding my head in my palm.I couldn't even turn my head properly without feeling pain. Grace wasn't in the room either to help out.Yes, we share a room.Thankfully, I saw a glass of clean water and some pills on the table beside the bed. Grace must have kept it there. She's such a sweetheart!I painfully drew closer and closer to the table still sitting on the bed, till my hands were finally able to reach the water

~JESSICA~ “Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr” Grace's alarm rang on a Monday morning and I groaned out loudly in frustration. It's an alarm she set to enable her to wake up early and prepare for school.I just started sleeping after staying all night applying for jobs and now, the alarm is disturbing my sleep.“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr” the alarm rang again and I felt like smashing the alarm clock to the wall. I mean, I just started sleeping and this alarm chose the right time to wake me up.Grace was still fast asleep. She's sleeping through the alarm and it got me pissed. How dare she sleep through the alarm she set herself while I can't sleep??And so, I tapped her and shook her on the bed roughly.“Get your ass off the bed and go prepare for school” I yelled. “And oh, please do well to off that alarm or else I smash it to the wall”She stuck out her tongue sleepily at me and stretched her hands to turn off the alarm, then resumed sleeping again.I sighed, she's always lik

~DANIEL~I slammed the door after Miss Adams bolted from the office, her retreating figure disappearing into the night. My hand remained on the doorknob, frozen, as I tried to process what just happened.How dare she run out like that?I strode back to my desk, every step laced with anger. I should fire her. On the spot. No one—no one—had ever walked out on me like that, not without consequences.But as I sat down and stared at the abandoned reports she was supposed to organize, I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone and make the call to HR.Something about the look on her face… something urgent. It wasn't a rebellion. It was fear and desperation.I sighed and leaned back, rubbing my temples.Then came the knock.A soft rap on the door before it creaked open. My lawyer, Edward Lane, stepped in, his salt-and-pepper hair glinting under the light. He looked like he had aged a decade in the last two days.“You should have called to let me know that you're c

~DANIEL~ Last night, before I left the company, I had called and instructed my private investigator to find out everything about Jessica Adams.And within an hour later, he had sent everything I needed to know about her to my phone.Aged twenty four.Lost her birth mom when she's ten from a critical illness.Studied business management and commerce at Minot state university.Graduated at the age of twenty two.Graduated with a first class honor.Worked in a few places after graduation but went back to being unemployed again.Lost her dad from a car accident.Has a Stepmom and stepsister.Her boyfriend of three years just ended things with her.Stepmom is gravely in and her life is in danger.I got interested in the part where I read that her stepmom is sick.Poor girl!
