A beautiful little girl checked her phone, 'the time is right she must be here anytime.'
"Amy?!" a sweet voice was heard. The girl named Amy turned towards the voice source, and with her misty eyes, she engulfed the person in her arms.
"I missed you so much, Jessica! "The girl called Jessica was Amy's childhood friend and the beautiful and talented young miss of Han family. Jessica was not her birth name. She changed her name to Jessica when she left for States.
"Amy, it's been so long. I missed you too," said Jessica.
"Liar! If you had missed me you would have at least texted me over these years?" Amy said almost choking on her tears which flowed without any warning when she met her long-gone best friend. She would always miss her when she visited the places, where she once went with Jessica when all was going well.
"You only called me when you needed me. Humph..... Is this how you treat your friend?" Amy complained.
"Oh….. By the way, did you get the thing I asked for, your highness?" exclaimed Jessica.
"Now you are back to normal. Yeah, I got the thing you asked it's in the car. Now let's go, mom has prepared a huge feast in the happiness of you coming back." They both went out chatting about Jessica's life abroad.
There was a fancy black-colored Bugatti parked outside. As soon as both the friends exited the airport and reached the car, a driver walked out from the driver's seat and opened the back door for the ladies.
In the car, Amy handed over a folder with the information of all the major or minor things happening in the Han family, after Jessica left. "I know you were very hurt after your mom's sudden death but you need to forget the past and lead a peaceful life."
On the mention of her mother's death, Jessica's face darkened and the temperature around her dropped. "After you left, your father was very heartbroken-".
"Hah. My father, that also heartbroken?! Not possible, how could his heartbreak when he has no heart at all?"
There was dead silence in the car. "Why do you want to ruin the mood with mentioning those useless people?" It was Amy who spoke.
"Those useless people called me back. Don't know what new tricks do they have this time up their sleeves." Jessica said after a while, controlling hard not to cry. 'You need to be strong. Those scums are not worthy of even your tears or time.' Jessica clenched her hands and finally calmed down.
Soon they reached Amy's house. Amy belonged to the Fang family, who owned the leading company in the entertainment industry. Amy's mother was very caring towards Jessica and treated Jessica as her own daughter.
"Oh, dear! Jessica! Why did you take so long to come back? I have missed you so much. Did you forget your family?" Mother Fang rushed to squeeze Jessica in her motherly warmth. "You have grown thinner. Come in, I have made a whole feast for you. I will definitely make you thicker before you return."
"She has just returned and you already want her to leave. Jessica does not mind the words of this old lady." Said father Fang' walking down the stairs. "Yes, yes. Don't believe the words of this old man also. Ok, Jessica." And the both of them started arguing. They both had a very special bond and loved each other dearly.
"Let's go to my room and fresh up. They will be fine after a while." Amy whispered. Jessica nodded.
Without making a noise, they both went upstairs into Amy's room. Amy had designed her room herself, keeping the theme of a typical girlish color- pink. Her whole room was pink. Her bed, curtains, walls, dressing table, wardrobe, and every single thing that was present there.
Jessica remembered this design from the time she last visited this place that was about 5 years back. "Your room…has not changed a single bit. "Jessica said, her eyes almost popping out. Amy gave a small chuckle and sat down on the bed patting to the chair next to her. Jessica understood her gesture and sat on the chair.
"Jessica, I have a serious matter to discuss with you." In return, Jessica nodded, feeling tensed 'cause Amy was always cheerful and had never been so serious, not even when she had her college entrance. "Don't get angry. I heard something when I went to my father's study and he was discussing something with Mr. George the other day. Mr. George said that your family called you back so they could marry you to Steve Smith, the leading industrialist and the owner of the Kayano Company."
Hearing this Jessica was stunned. After a while, her expressions changed and her face turned icy cold. Amy who was noting the change in her expression felt a chill down her spine and sat straight.
The temperature was cold enough to turn a person into a block of ice. The source of this coldness was none other than Jessica. There was a sudden change in these conditions when someone knocked at the door.
Amy, rooted on her spot, jumped in terror with the sudden sound in the extremely cold and soundless room.
"Sister! Come down quickly! Mom has set up the feast and is not allowing anyone to even glance at the food. Bring Sister Jessica along. Hey! Give me a reply" a childish yet sweet voice was heard from the door.
This voice belonged to none other than Amy's youngest brother who was just in his early teens. Amy would usually fight with him as she was the second-youngest after him and before his birth she received all the pampering from her older brothers as well as her other relatives. But after he was born all her limelight of a pampered child was snatched from her and all the people around her gave their attention to the little beast- a name by Amy to her younger brother.
Amy always thought her brother to be a useless person who would just lazily moved around. Perhaps for the first time in her lifetime, she wanted to hug him and even change her attitude towards him. "Come in!" Amy exclaimed happily, moving towards the door to open it.
Jessica regained her composure and looked towards the new guest. The door flew open and a cute little teenager with dark brown hair entered the room. Jessica instantly recognized the familiar face of Ron, Amy’s brother. Her face lit up with a happy smile.
The next day Steve had already left when Jessica woke up. She found her breakfast on the table with a note on it which read; ‘Good morning sweetheart, I had some business to attend. Have your breakfast made with all my love. ~Steve, your love’ The post-it was dripped with love and her eyes were filled with it too. She sat down and gobbled the sweetly prepared food. It was in no way less than the top qualities food she had had in her lifetime. He deserved a gift for his efforts now. Jessica did the dishes and got ready to move to her studio with a big bright smile plastered on her face. ……………………………………………………….. Amy greeted the cheerful Jessica as she moved to her office. “May I ask the reason of your lovely smile, your highness?” Amy asked amused by the smile on the night owl’s face. Jess
The girl on the floor was a crying mess. Her face had a red hand mark. While the girl on the sofa had an evil smirk on her face. “Why is your boss still not here. Don’t tell me she is scared.” Ms. Kim shouted at the girl at her feet. “Ms. Kim, I am here.” Jessica walked gracefully down the stairs. She was surrounded by a cold aura. Ms. Kim got up from her seat as she came face-to-face with Jessica. “You must be Jessica Han, owner of this store. I am Kim Lee.” She raised her hand for a handshake but Jessica ignored her and bend down to pick up the girl on the floor. “Are you fine? Amy get her wounds treated.” Jessica said as she looked over at Amy behind her. Ms. Kim was pissed off. ‘how dare she ignore me.’ Handing over the injured girl to Amy Jessica turned to look at the fuming little miss. “You sure don’t know me to be ignoring me this way. Well let me introduce myself again, I’m Kim Lee, the heir of Kim corporations.” Lee’s face was arrogant and challenging. “Oh, my bad, I f
Jessica and Mrs. Smith rode Smith’s family car to the largest mall in the city. Along the way, Mrs. Smith kept on blabbering about the stuff they needed to purchase for the wedding, the guests they had to invite, the place for the wedding, and what not. Jessica also participates in her talks as a smile lit her face. ‘Finally, I am getting married… Mom are you watching over me? are you happy?’ Jessica glanced outside the window with her teary eyes. “What happened Jessica? Are you not happy to go shopping with mom?” Mrs, Smith looked worriedly towards Jessica. “No mom. I love it. I am super excited to shop with you.” Jessica smiled sweetly at her. Mrs. Smith sighed and then continued with her talks about the upcoming wedding. Soon they arrived at the mall. Mrs. Smith could no longer contain her happiness as she entered the mall along with Jessica. The mall had five floors. The top floor
The next day Jessica was again the first one to wake up. She prepared the breakfast. After all the dishes that included a egg toast, a bowl of rice porridge and a cup of milk were set up on a the dining table she was all ready to go call Steve, when she noticed him walking down the stairs. She smiled at him and he smiled back. He walked to the dining table and sat down next to Jessica. He satisfactorily looked at the breakfast on the table and started to gracefully eat it.Jessica glanced at him as she sipped on her cup of milk. Her mind was filled with this man who sat in front of her. Their wedding was now just a few weeks away and it all felt like a dream to her. Thinking of all the time she spent with him her face bloomed with a enchanting smile.Her trail of thoughts broke when her phone’s screen lit up and a notification from her mother-in-law popped up on the screen. She picked up her phone and looked at the notification.
The next day Steve was woken up by the aroma of her food again. He felt hungry again as he got up and went downstairs after tidying up his room. Walking down the stairs he could hear her light humming and a song playing in the background. This scene warmed his heart and gave him a homely feeling. He slowly came downstairs and reached the kitchen counter. staring lovingly at the food and the woman he said, “Good morning, dear. Need some help?” Jessica turned around to face him and she was stunned at his smiling face which looked even more handsome. She came out of her daze and asked, “Do you not want to bath? We have an appointment today?” Steve was confused, which appointment did they have? Seeing him confused she chuckled and said, “we have to meet one of your friends.” “Ohhh… Zenifer, yeah, yeah… I will go and get ready that man is strict with timings.” Saying this he walked upstairs mumbling something to himself about forgetting everything after seeing his beauty the first thing
Jessica stopped in her tracks as she stared in the blue eyes. His eyes reminded her of her favorite place- the ocean. She took small, steady steps towards the man and made him sit on the bed before passing him a glass of water.Her eyes were fixed on him the entire time as if he would disappear the moment she blinked.After gulping the water Steve felt much more relieved. He looked up at the girl who stared at him like an owl. He giggled and asked her, “like what you see? Do I look extra good today?”She smiled and said, “no, you are just like a thought which may disappear the moment it is touched.” Hearing her words he felt a pang on his heart. ‘Did he really matter to her? Was he this important.’This kindness and care were new to him. It felt like an illusion who might be lost with a touch or even with the fear of being touched. He wanted to store t
The instant these words escaped the phone speaker Jessica lost all strength and collapsed on the ground. Tears gushed on her cheeks as she blankly stared at the floor. Amy sat down to support her and help her sit on the chair as she passed down a glass of water to her. She was sure whatever the call was for it was for no good.When Jessica was a bit calm she took Amy by hand to the parking lot. She asked her driver to drive her to the First help hospital as her heart was going mad thinking of every worse thing. On the way, she explained the situation to Amy who became equally worried.When they reached the nurse guided them to the emergency center where stood outside Steve’s assistant.Seeing Steve’s assistant the nervousness and uneasiness in Jessica’s heart grew more. She rushed to the assistant and asked, “How is he? Is he in danger? When did the surgery start?” And a whole lot
The next day Steve lay next to her as he stared at her sleeping. She looked cute to him. Her long eyelashes, cherry-like lips, and her fair cheeks. Her all features impressed him and he falls deeper for her. When she opened her eyes slowly she looked like a small kitten who wakened from her long rest. She woke up and looked into his eyes.She extended her hand to touch his god-like face. She still thought it was a dream. ‘Did he really propose to me yesterday? Is he sure? Am I truly not dreaming?’ Many such questions circled in her mind but these all vanished when her hand felt his skin.“Am I really not dreaming?” She asked nervously.“No my dear, we are as real as our love.” He took her hand in his and kissed it lightly.She blushed and withdrew her hand before getting up.“Get up and get ready in the guest room. I am going to my room to get dressed. Afterward, drive me to my office.” Yesterday they had slept on the couch. It was uncomfortable but their presence to each other was co
Jessica drove her car aimlessly. She was feeling a weird emotion that gave her endless pain. Her mind was still filled with the voices of Steve back in the office. After a crazy drive of an hour, she finally came to a stop. ‘This place…..’ She clearly knew this place it was where they had found her father’s body and claimed that he had committed suicide. She came out of the car. The sky had turned dark complementing her mood. With light and small steps, she moved towards the cliff. She moved over and glanced at the end of the cliff. It was very deep. It looked as if the cliff led to hell itself. Jessica stared as if to see the end of the cliff but all that appeared was darkness. Her chest tightened as she stepped back. She squatted down and sat on the side of the road. She looked at the moving cars with her teary eyes. After a while, she got up and went inside her car. She leaned her
