~JESSICA~

I didn’t sleep.

How could I?

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her…. perfect red lips, smug expression, and the way Daniel hesitated when she said he still wanted her.

Hesitated.

That tiny pause told me everything I needed to know, and God, it burned.

Morning sunlight filtered weakly through my curtains, but it brought no warmth.

I forced myself to get up and head to the bathroom. My eyes were puffy. My heart felt heavier than it had the night before.

I had to be strong. I wouldn’t let Crystal or Daniel….or whatever messy past they shared…tear me down.

As I stepped out into the hallway, I met an almost empty flat.

Kareem said Daniel had gone out early for a meeting.

But the strange part?

Crystal was still here.

Sitting in the living room, legs crossed, sipping espresso like she owned the place.

She looked up at me and smiled, the kind of smile that made your spine itch.

“Morning, sweetheart,” she said, patting the seat beside her. “Let’s talk. Woman

    Crystal's phone rang for the third time. She sighed deeply before answering the call.“Avoiding me, right?” The caller said at the other end of the phone.“I'm not” she lied.“What have you been up to?? I haven't gotten a positive feedback from you” the caller said.She rolled her eyes.“I've been trying but it's not easy. I have no easy access to Daniel currently” she said.“But you said you're capable of destroying Daniel and Jessica, and boasted of how you can easily access Daniel, so what's happening??” The caller almost yelled.“Oh shut it, Albert! Allow me do my thing” Crystal retorted.“You're wasting a lot of time. I need my ex, Jessica, to suffer a miserable and lonely life, and you want your ex back. It's a win-win for us, so you need to do something about that, and fast” Albert said.“Don't you worry, Albert, I'll definitely get Daniel back” Crystal said. “I'm currently in South Africa, I got an update that Daniel is currently over there. Now that he's away from

    ~JESSICA~ "What? You'll be away for five days?" I asked.Daniel just told me he'll be away on a business trip for five days after breakfast.He nodded his head."Why are you just telling me now?" I asked, keeping a neutral tone to prevent him knowing how much I dreaded the fact that he's going to be away for five days, even though I had the dogs, Elsie and Kareem to keep me company.It's almost two months now and I've gotten used to him already. Though he's still a bit cold to me, but he's beginning to slowly warm up to me, and showed me care and attention, and my stupid soft heart fell harder for him.I didn't know how I'll go back to my life without Daniel after the contract ends.He had asked us to share a room together one fateful day and I've been so surprised.I had gladly moved into his room and we've been sleeping on the same bed every night.We made love almost every night. Although our lovemaking was passionate and intense, the magic word I was hopin

  • Bound by a billionaire    Passion and sweetness

    ~DANIEL~ I kissed her again, deepening the kiss, and exploring every corner of her mouth and soon, she responded to my kiss and kissed me back with the same energy.She's a great kisser, I had to admit. I was fucking hard down there just by kissing her alone.I ran my lips down over the line of her throat. Heavenly warm skin met my lips.I inhaled the downy softness, bringing my hands up along her hips, at her waist and upward along her ribs to the front of her night wear, over her breasts.She moaned softly in approval, cupping her hands in mine as I gently removed the night robe.Her breasts came spilling into my hands after I removed it. She's now naked and was only in her panties. I filled my palm with her breasts."Fuck, I hate the things you do to me and now I want you so bad" I swore loudly, my voice laced with passion. "And I'm going to have you right here and right now" I swore to her and her eyes widened at the tone I had used. She recognized the

  • Bound by a billionaire    Angry couple

    ~JESSICA~ I didn't know whether to throw my arms round Daniel in relief or push him down the steps.I'd searched everywhere for him in that huge apartment, refusing to believe he would have left without me. I'd confronted the truth when I'd gone outside to look and Gray, his driver, who'd been waiting for us, told me gently that Daniel had chosen to walk home. That had been three hours ago.The realization that he'd abandoned me with a room full of strangers had knocked the wind out of me. I'd been too shocked to be angry. Then the time had passed while I'd waited for him to come home and the anger had built.That anger had been giving way to concern when I spotted him in the room window I'd sat myself in front of.Now I didn't know how I felt, just that I was so full of contrary emotions that I would either cry or scream.Daniel stared back at me, his features taunt, a pulse throbbing on his jaw, hands rammed in his pockets, breathing heavily. He wa

    ~DANIEL~Simeon placed his bare hands on Jessica's shoulders and kissed her cheeks in turns.That act from him triggered me, and unconsciously I found myself squeezing my palms into a ball fist.And why the hell do I feel like punching him so hard in the face??I clenched my jaw and forced myself to breathe, turning my mind away from the impulse to punch Simeon in the face."Get a grip of yourself. He's only greeting her the way he greets everyone" my inner voice said yet my fingers still itches to punch him.Simeon called his date over to our table. She's a model statue and was wearing designer clothes."This is Nora" he introduced to us. Nora gave me a flirty look and I looked away in disgust.She's beautiful, truth be told but she did not hold a candle to Jessica. No one did, no one could."Keep her company while I snatch her husband for a while," Simeon said to Nora. She nodded her head.If Jessica was bothered about me leaving her alone with Nora, she

    ~JESSICA~~ONE WEEK LATER~ "What are you reading?" Daniel asked, standing in the doorway.I was sitting cross legged on the bed with a pillow and laptop on my lap. I looked up and saw Daniel in the doorway, I smiled at him. I had been so engrossed that I hadn't heard him get back from work."I'm looking at my veterinary nurse courses I would love to take” I said, turning the laptop around to show him. "I'm trying to work out if it's feasible"He strolled over to perch next to me. "To train as a vet nurse?" He asked.I nodded. The days I spent with the dogs had reignited my love of animals and my old dream of working with them.“Growing up, I've always wanted to be a vet, but dad wanted me to go into the corporate world. He wanted to see me all dressed up in my office clothes and working in an office with important people” I told him.“So why train as a vet nurse when you've always wanted to be a vet?" He asked."It takes years to train to be a vet. Besides
