Husband For Hire Chapter Fifty Four
A week laterJesse was returning from seeing his friends and was listening to music from his car stereo when a car suddenly overtook his causing him to apply the brakes fast to avoid hitting the car in front of him but he had no such luck as his car slammed into the rear bumper of the other one.He sat stock-still in the car staring at nothing in particular and even as the owner of the other car started banging on the window trying to get his attention, he didn't move. He found that he couldn't move a single muscle as a feeling of deja vu washed over him making him feel as if he'd experienced what just happened before but he wasn't very sure.He finally came out of his trance long enough to notice the person standing in front of his car and he opened the door and got out."Look at what you did!". The man barked pointing to his dented car."Me? You overtook my car without turning on your indicator light." Jesse protested. "Well you're going to repair my car." The man said. "This is a

A month laterTrisha opened the door hoping it wasn't the bank officials that had come to pay her a visit to give her a final warning to evacuate the house but her heart dropped in her stomach when she saw who was visiting and she suddenly wished for the officials instead."Hello Trisha." The man smiled. "Remember me?".She swallowed. "Jesse Billion." She choked out."Can I come in?". He asked."Sure." She answered after a moment of hesitation."Thank you." He walked into the house.Trisha closed the door with a sigh and turned to look at Jesse. "You came at the wrong time Mr Billion." She informed him tersely as she led him to the sitting room."I think I came at the right time." Jesse amended jovially. "It's been awhile.""Please sit." She said stiffly. "Can I get you something to drink?"."No thank you." He replied.Trisha sat down and crossed her legs. "What do you want then?"."What else do you have that I'd want? Certainly not your house that is about to be taken away from you."

"Are you busy Maitta?". Trisha asked standing in the doorway of her bedroom. Maitta glanced at her mother and shook her head. "I'm done." She said. "Can I come in?". "It's your house." Maitta sighed. Trisha walked into the room, walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. "It's been weeks Mai." Trisha said. "Are you still mad at me because I refused to let you see your dad?". "I'm not angry. I'm not anything." She replied. "I'll look for him myself when I grow up." Trisha chuckled. "There won't be any need for that." She told her. Maitta scowled at her. "You won't be able to tell me what to do when I grow up. I won't let you." She protested. "No, that's not what I meant." Trisha said. "You'll see your father tomorrow." Maitta was surprised. "Tomorrow? Really?". "Yes. He wants to see you." Trisha said. "He came by today but you were in school." "Really?". Her eyes widened in excitement. "You're not playing with me, are you mommy?". "Not this time." Trisha assured her. "It

He looked at the bear. "This is for you." He set the bear on the sofa.Maitta's eyes widened. "Really? It's huge!". She rushed to hug the bear."What do you say when someone gives you a gift?". Trisha asked her, frowning at her."Thank you." She said and blushed looking embarrassed."It's fine." Jesse said. "Can I take her now?"."Um... Sure." Trisha nodded. "She's eaten so she's good to go."Jesse smiled at Maitta and held out his hand. "Let's go?"."Okay." She shyly placed her hand in his and butterflies erupted in her stomach when Jesse's hand tightened around hers. "Bye mommy.""Have fun darling." Trisha bent and kissed her forehead. "Don't miss me too much okay.""Okay." Maitta nodded and left with Jesse.Trisha blinked back the tears that threatened to fall as she walked back to the kitchen to cle

Gwen opened the door to Jesse's bedroom and slammed it shut when she saw Maitta sitting on his bed watching something on his laptop and laughing out loud but the door slam caused Maitta to look up at her in surprise."Oh, hi." Maitta said. "Want to watch Merlin with me?"."I don't like the movie." Gwen said. "What are you doing in my father's room?"."He told me I could stay. We were watching it together but he left to take a call." Maitta replied."I see." Gwen muttered."What do you like to watch then?". Maitta inquired."I watch movies like high school musical, Hannah Montana, Frozen and others." Gwen answered. "Merlin is an adult movie.""Daddy likes it." Maitta said.Gwen walked over to the bed and stopped in front of her. "Listen to me, I don't like you at all." Gwen informed her. "And just because you're his real daughter doesn't mean you'll take my father away from me with your miss perfect attitude."Maitta looked stunned. "But... I'm not trying to take daddy away from you."

He rounded the hood to open the door for someone and Bella saw a little girl get out of the car and her breath hitched in her throat when she locked gazes with Jesse and she wondered if he was going to come over but he steered the girl towards the house and they went inside.By the time Bella got inside the house and walked into the sitting room, she met her mother having an animated conversation with Jesse's daughter while he just watched them with an amused smile on his face.Jesse turned his head to look at Bella and his smile faded. He wondered why she was still around when she'd told him just two days ago that she was leaving and he'd told her goodbye but he really d

Two weeks later "Daddy!". Gwen shook Jesse awake. "Wake up!". Jesse stirred and forced one eye open to stare at Gwen. He was hung over and felt like his head would come off if he attempted to lift it. He'd drank himself to stupor the night before after he and Aviva dropped Bella off at the airport. She'd insisted on taking a commercial flight back to Mexico and there was no talking her out of it so they'd let her and Aviva had cried on his shoulder making him feel like a horrible human being. He'd gone to the bar from the airport without inviting his friends but when he realized he'd drank too much, he called Olly who came to meet him and brought him home. "Daddy! Mommy is dead!". Gwen shook him. "Mommy is dead!". "Yes I know." He muttered. "Helena died months ago." "No! Aunt Bella!". Gwen exclaimed tearfully. Jesse's eyes flew open and he propped himself up on his elbow. "What?". "It's on the news." Gwen pointed to his TV. She grabbed the remote and turned it on, waited a fe

A week later "Can we talk Bella?". Jesse asked. Bella looked up from her laptop to him, surprised to see him but she only nodded and continued with her work. Jesse pulled back a chair and took a seat. He didn't say anything for a long while and just stared at her causing her to look up and raise a questioning brow. "Well? Are you going to say something or you are just going to watch me all day?". She inquired. "I'm sorry." He apologized. "For what?". She looked irritated. "For everything." "Okay?". She sounded bored. "I'm also sorry that I lied to you last week." He said. "You lied about so many things. What exactly are you sorry for?". Jesse took a deep breath. "I told you three weeks ago that I couldn't love you... well that was a big fat lie." He looked contrite. "I realized how much of a loser I was when I heard the news about your supposed death and all I could think of... was that I'd take everything back if I could get another chance with you." "Oh." Bella said. "So
