last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Jessica woke up with a throbbing headache. Her head ached, her foot ached. Her body ached. Everything just ached. She sat up slowly trying not to strain her foot. As her thoughts flooded into her mind with the events of last night, she felt nauseas. She remembered going to the hospital and then everything was blank.Jessica was blank. She really could not remember anything after the hospital and this made her panic. She could feel an anxiety attack rising within her. Her chest tightened. She felt as if she was suffocating. She cupped her hands over her mouth taking a few deep, quick breathes. A technique she learnes when she was a child. It was something she lived with most of her life. Whenever she got stressed out, even by the most slightest things, she would freak out drastically, leading to a panic attack.

As she calmed down and started to massage her temples her daughter jumped on the bed next to her. " Hey mom, what happened to your foot?" she asked, her eyebrows now furrowed. She hugged her mom gently. Jessica felt warm and comforted. She kissed the top of her daughter's head and smiled. Her little girl was such an angel. She was grateful that her daughter had inherited her traits. All good qualities from her side of the family.Her looks, her intelligence, her wit and her strength. Her husband is a douche bag, she would never want her daughter to learn his bad habits or accept it from any man like she did. She was just vulnerable to him. She always fantasized about him dropping dead. He drank so much beer, she always wondered when he would just have a heart attack. She knew it was ill of her to think such a thing, but she didn't see any other way out of this torturous marriage. It wasn't even a marriage. She felt like a slave.

*Bang*

The door swung open. "Jessica, you rotten whore, go partying, sleeping around with men and have them leave you home. Look at your state. So much of fun, you sprained your ankle. Call yourself a mother. You are a slut", her husband's screamed at the top of his voice. He knew what he had done, he had made sure the neighbour's heard his curses.

Jessica blocked Jamies ears," how dare you speak such filth in front of our daughter? ".

"Filth? Filth? Do you really think I speak filth? I am speaking the truth. She should know by now what type of a woman you are!!! Cheap! Selling your body for money!!!!!! A prostitute!!!!! A whore!!!! You shameless woman!!!" he shouted rudely, saliva spraying.

Jessica could smell the alcohol from his breath.

Jessica's eyes were red with unshed tears, " selling my body? I go to work! Something you haven't done in years! You pathetic excuse for a man".

"Well my dear wife, I gave your new toy boy a peice of my mind,I doubt he will call you to his bed again".

"How dare you do such a thing? My job is our bread and butter!!! And he is not a toy boy. He is my work colleague. " Jessica's tears now began to slide down her cheeks. Her lips trembled from the anger she felt inside. Jamie placed her head in her mother's lap. She was scared. She witnessed such episodes quite often. She was already twelve and understood everything clearly. She knew her mother was not a whore. She knew her father was a good for nothing drunk. He sat at home drinking and watching TV. Waiting for her mother to come home to clean up behind him. Cooking meals and helping her do her homework. To her, her mother was superwoman. She was her role model. She wished she had a functioning family like everyone else but she didn't. Some days she wished her father would drop dead. He made no difference in her life. He is just taking up space and air on the earth.

Jessica's heart pounded in her chest. The tears spilled down her red cheeks soaking her shirt. " How could he embarrass her this way. She had just started this job. Although she was the least liked in the firm, it was still a paycheck",Jessica thought, " How do I face Charlie when I go back? Would the whole office know? Would Mark know? I am ruined. "

Jessica asked Jamie to bring her laptop. She opened it and typed in her password, going straight into her emails. She had to resolve this issue now.

She looked for the HR email address, scrolling up and down, through her inbox, outbox, spam and sent. Nothing came up. She searched for it. Still nothing.

She once again strolled up and down only to realise the only person's email address in the firm that she did have was Mark. MARK MOLT. Her boss. It was her work laptop after all.

She began to type.

Dear Mark,

I trust you are well.

I regret to inform you that this mail serves as an immediate notification of my resignation. Due to personal reasons, I am unable to attend work at your company going forward. I will hand in all company possessions once I am able to.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,

Jessica Brown.

Jessica read it twice. Her heart ached just thinking about resigning. But she knew she could no longer work there after the scene Rudy had caused. She knew it would have been horrible. She clicked the send button and inhaled sharply. She sent her heart clenching email. She blamed herself for going to the party. If she had just stayed at home. And on top of going to a party, she tried her best to look hot which was disastrous.

It's back to the job hunting. She was lucky to even land this job. Now she had to let it go. Her husband was like a curse in her life.

She looked at the sent box, her mail was sent. She held her head in her hands. Another new stress she has added to her life. She never knew she could turn her life upside down by just attending a party.

There was no turning back now.

    Charlie Knocked at the door reluctantly. Mrs Blunder had already informed him of his bosses bad mood. It was the only suitable thing to do. Just as she adored Mark, she also adored Charlie. ''Come in'', was Marks cold voice.He stared daggers into Charlie. Charlie had goosebumps just looking at his boss. There was all sorts off assumptions running through his head about last night when he asked Charlie to attend to her. ''Hey bro, you called?, Whatsup?'' Charlie asked nervously, eyeing out his bosses face. It was grim. '' Did he do something wrong?, he could not think of anything. He always double checked his work'' ,Charlie thought,'' is it even work related??? Still I do not remember doing anything wrong. We had the bro code, I would never divulge his life, to anyone, not even his own wife'' '' Charlie, did something happen between you and Jessica last night'', Mark held a questioning look, it was almost frightening if you did not know him.

    Mark sat frozen. He would have never guessed the incident that had happened. It was as if he had heard about a movie scene and he wanted to make it into a real life movie. He wanted to make it exciting and spicy. A smile spread across his thin lips and there was a hint of mischief in his eyes. '' Well Charlie, If he thinks his wife has the standards of having an affair, lets give him his dream that he is holding on to'' Mark smirked. ''First I am going to give her the option of coming back to work, with a lucrative package. Once she is back, I am going to enjoy moulding and sculpting her. Mr Brown is going to wish he never treated her like a doormat''. ''Bro, no offence but please do not get too carried away. Remember you have a family of your own, the last time you did this, you bedded the woman for almost two whole years. I had to pay her a fortune to get lost'' Charlie spoke out of concern,"We cannot keep altering the books for the tax man. You need to get your shit in order. Th

    *Ping* One email received. Jessica opened her mail. Her jaw dropped open in surprise. She could not believe her eyes. She could not believe what she was reading on her screen. She read through eagerly. "$ 15000, oh my freaking gosh" She wanted to scream out in excitement but she didn't want to alert her husband. Jessica was totally freaking out. Her brain was scattered in her head like a scrambled egg. She thought her eyes were deceiving her. " 3 times my salary", she thought. " He must really want me!!!" " After last nights appearance. I must have left a lasting impression in his heart". "I need to have him, I must have him". " He is everything a woman could want, and he will be mine. All mine". Her thoughts were running wild in her head. If he could give her this much now, he was going to be hers to give her the extravagant life that she thought she deserved. She will extort it from him. She will make him fall deeply in love with her. She will be everything he has dreamed

She pictured herself looking like a glamorous model. "Ahhh, a well deserved shopping spree and pamper day", Jessica exhaled. She spent the last three days secretly practicing in her bedroom. Walking on tiptoes before trying on a pair of heels. Soon she was skipping around effortlessly around the room. She had mastered the art of walking with elegance and poise. She smiled at herself. She was going to be the next Mrs Molt.With her tripple salary she could now dress like one of New Yorks finest. In coco Chanel and Gucci. The finest brands. A lady of class.

    Jessica walked in at the usual time she did every day. Every man in the building had their eyes on her. This was the first time ever in her life that people paid attention to her. They looked at her as if she was freshly cooked meat, their hungry eyes fell on her sensuous curves which were in perfect view from the silk pencil skirt and her white tight blouse that she had worn this morning. She had purposely bought one size smaller in her blouse. She wanted her breasts to look full and plump. Her cleavage to slightly pop out from the top of her blouse. She wanted to look professional yet classy. She wanted attention but not to be obviously bold. However, she did stand out now. She was the main dish of the cuisine. She didn't expect to be in the spotlight. She was definitely making a bold statement. She could here whispers between men and woman in the building. The security guard stopped her at the lift.

    Mark entered his office as usual, late morning when everyone was settled in.Being the ceo came with perks. He was well known for being fashionably late every morning. He was the boss after all and no one could question him. He greeted Mrs Blunder who was sitting at her desk going through her daily task schedule and her duties for the day. He checked if he had any appointments scheduled before slipping into his office, closing the door behind him. Sitting on his plush leather chair he flipped open his laptop,when a red gift bag that lay on the corner of his table, caught his eye. He wondered who could have sent him a gift today.''Mrs blunder,do you know anything about the gift bag on my desk?'', He picked up the phone and dialed her extention.''What gift bag, sir?'', She asked in he raspy voice. She had not seen anyone go into his office. She also wondered who could have placed it there and when did they place it. She was confused. She came into the office at her usual time,before ev

  • Cheated by the CEO   Chapter 12. Wow, is that Jessica?

    Mark walked to the lift, he pressed the button with his elbow and stepped into the elevator when it opened.Holding the two cups of coffee he went to the third floor. He wanted to thank Jessica for the tie she had gifted him. Although he knew he would never take it home. His wife would throw a tantrum if she knew another woman was gifting her husband. He did not want to stir up any trouble in his marriage. He did not want to raise any red flags again after the last incident or more like the last few hundred incidents in their ten year marriage. He tucked it right in the back of his top drawer, placing his stationary at the front to hide it. It was too expensive to just throw out or give away and he liked it very much. Jessica had good taste,he could not deny that fact. It was a really exquisite tie to add to his collection. Looking around at the deserted office, he wondered if everyone was on leave . He could not remember granting any leave for this month. It was only Jessica that ha
