Thea POV
After spending almost ten hours on the jet, we finally arrive safely in London.
The private Jet directly goes to land on the jet pad on top of our mansion in an area which I am told is Notting Hill.
Deciding to move to a different place was not easy for me at all but I know it is an essential step for me to take.
I know all my sacrifices will not be in vain, that I am very sure of.
I mean, Miami has always been my home for ages and I never for a moment thought I would ever in my life decide to leave Miami for another home.
But I also know it is a very good idea that I decided to come here with Jessa.
Ever since my brother and that bitch of a wife betrayed Jessa, she has been acting tough but the empty look in her eyes makes me want to always be there for her.
I want her to know that there is still someone who will always be there for her, I want to be that someone whom she can always lean on when she is broken, that someone whom she can walk with when she is too afraid to walk alone.
I want to be that sister she has never had and I want to play the role of the elder sister she has always seen me to be.
Now that I am here with her, I will make sure to help her get back on her feet again. I will always be there for her in her darkest moments, this I promise with my hand on my chest.
Jessa’s POV
We arrive at Notting Hill exactly thirty minutes later and I decide to have a nap, the jet lag getting to me.
~
We are now currently been toured in the house by the maid whom I learnt was previously working for the former owners of the mansion and has also agreed to work with us.
I think looking for another maid will be a long process so I tell Thea and Brian that it is only reasonable we keep her.
Looking at her, I can see clearly that she is in her late forties.
She is really beautiful and she has been nothing but kind and hospitable towards us since we arrived, plus she has a very friendly aura around her.
She starts the tour from the living room.
She talks about some of the arts in the living room and their great values.
The living room is decorated with gray sofas, a nice modern glass coffee table and a Samsung five inch curved LED television.
White pillows are placed in each of the sofas, a wide bronze frame clear crystal chandelier is also placed in the middle of the room and a black modern book shelf placed beside the t.v.
I fall in love instantly with the living room at first sight. It is not very luxurious nor is it of low quality things.
It is simple and modern, just as I like my things.
She later take us to the kitchen too.
The kitchen is already filled with all kinds of dishes, dish washing machine and utensils, as well as every home appliance that we would need in a kitchen.
It is painted in white, making it look more spacious and nice.
Coffee maker,mixer, paper towels,tools,veggies and fruit baskets are also placed neatly on the kitchen counters.
A nice modern kitchen island is also situated in the middle and a gray colored refrigerator is also placed at a sport, some what far beside the kitchen island.
Three pendant lights are also been placed at the top.
From the kitchen, we are taken to the dining hall which is also neat and very nice.
We are then taken to other places like the pool side, the garden, bedrooms and the garage which already has a black maybach, white masarati and a red Ferrari in it.
Brian bought these cars for himself, Thea and I. Nice of him right?
He bought it with the help of one of his employees in London when we were still in Miami.
It is already Five in the evening when we finish with the tour.
We have all chosen are rooms and since it is already dinner, the maid who toured us whom I have now discovered is called miss Jackson tells us to go to our rooms to have a rest whiles she prepares diner.
Since she is the only maid in the house, I request to help her. I can’t possibly watch a woman old enough to be my grandma to do all that work alone.
Even though she hesitates for a while, she agrees to let me help her.
'~time skip~
We are done with dinner and Jennifer has asked me to go call Brian and Thea who are both sharing a room and my grandma whom I told her more about.
After all what I have told her about my grandma, she is more than eager to see her.
At least now that we have another lovely old lady in our house, my grandma will not feel that lonely.
Thea and Brian's room is just opposite mine and my granny's room is also just beside mine so it is not difficult calling all of them.
Whiles cooking, Jennifer and I got to know each other very well.
The way she looks at me when she talks makes me think of how my grandma always looks at me.
She seems like a trustworthy person so I tell her everything about myself and how my bestfriend and my fiancé betrayed me on our wedding day.
I know that, that part of my life is supposed to be personal but I do not really care right now.
I have been so hurt to the extent that whenever someone shows some sort of kindness towards me, I feel like I should tell them what Halley and Randel did to me for some comforts, I feel like I should let everybody hate them for what they did to me.
I also tell her how Thea and Brian have been so good to me and I as well tell her all about my granny and how she is the only family I have.
After I tell her everything, she sheds some light tears and then tells me she will always be there for me and that if I want someone to talk to, I can always approach her.
I did not even know she is the emotional kind of person.
I mean, she is very intense on her emotions.
To be honest, I did not expect her to shed a tear for me. I do not want people to think I am weak.
I also get to know she is a widow with two twins, a boy and a girl.
I also discover that she lost all her family members in a plane crush when they went on a family trip.
She told me she is still alive because she could not go on that trip since she and her twins had gone to see a great friend of her's who had lost her daughter and son-inlaw, leaving her with only her grand daughter who was just six at the time.
After talking with her, I feel that there are still good people in the world who cares about others and I am now more than determined to work hard and accomplish my mission to take revenge on Halley and Randel.
They have to get punished for putting me through all these emotional stress, making me think all people are fake.

May I know how you like your coffee please?’ Jessa ask in a friendly yet professional voice.'I want it black.

Edmond's POVJessa has been sleeping soundly for about I think thirty minutes now and the atmosphere in the officeis very serene until a loud scream cut through the air, which makes me run into the lounge immediately.And the view I am met with is not one I was expecting .There on the bed is a very sweaty Jessa. Her white shirt is so wet, it seems she just had a shower with her clothes on.Not only is she wet but she is also sweating even more profusely and looking at her, I have no doubts that she is having a nightmare.'No, no I have nothing to give you. Leave me alone please.. I have nothing with meee.’ she screams as she thrash about in the bed, moving from left to right.'Hey sweetie, no one is here to take anything from you. It is just you and me. I am here with you and I am not going to let any harm befall you in my presence.’ I say as I rub her ar
