Mag-log in~Jacqueline’s POV~I slipped my hands into the sleeves of my pyjamas and adjusted the top at the hem. Liam had dropped by at the boutique and got me a few clothes. I couldn’t go back to the house to get my things yet. Knock!“Jacqueline?” A soft voice called, behind the closed door.I recognized whose it was.“Come in.” I answered, turned towards the door.The handle turned slowly and Ms. Cecilia peeked in. She opened the door wider and walked in. She closed it behind her halfway. She walked a few metres away from the door.“Jacqueline dear,” She said calmly, wearing a warm smile,“Dinner is ready and everyone is waiting for you at the table.”I rubbed the arm softly, avoiding eye contact.“I’m not that hungry, Ms. Cecilia.” I declined calmly.“Are you sure? Mrs Vanessa asked me to—.” She said coaxingly.I replied in a nod, indirectly cutting her off. Ms. Cecilia maintained her smile and heaved.“If you get hungry later, you have access to anything in the fridge.” She said.I looked
~Rex’s POV~The cards were laid on the table. I had a lit cigarettes in my hand and took a puff at it. Few ladies surrounded the table, giggling and caressing the men seated there. I had no interest in them. I was still trying to recover from one and not create another. “Hey, Handsome!” A feminine voice flattered me.I turned a deaf ear and had my eyes at the cards. They were more important than the attraction.“Sorry but he is kind of busy.” Jasper said on my behalf.“Not to worry. I can—.” She said cheerily, trying to get my attention.“Like I said, he is busy. Try someone else.” He told her off, in a firm voice.I turned my head round and glanced at the two. The lady wore some strands of her curly hair behind her ear. She caught a glimpse of me. She winked at me and as well, flashed a smile. She scowled at Jasper and walked away from the table. Jasper had his eyes on her until she had left completely. He shook his head and let out a sigh.“Even when you’re tied to a woman, they d
~Jacqueline’s POV~“I mean it.”Liam looked at me with his furrowed brow. He broke the hug and stood in front of me. Our eyes met each other’s. The state made me a bit edgy but I know it was for the best. I’m done being Rex’s puppet wife.“Jackie,” He called me softly, with his hands on my arm,His grip was faint.“Do you really want to do this? Are you sure you aren’t under any influence? The medicine’s maybe.” “I am definitely sure about this, Liam. I’m tired of being called Rex’s wife when he doesn’t treat me as one. I’m just his—.” I said, almost being teary again.I sniffed and broke the grip. I wiped off my tears with my palms before they leaked. Liam raised my chin up. I looked at him.“No matter the outcome, I’ll always be with you. I’m not leaving your sight. No even for a minute.” He said jovially, wearing a warm smile.I smiled faintly. I glanced through the window and turned pale. I quivered in fear. My eyes were literally at the person. The handle turned. I took a step b
~Rex’s POV~I stood beside the bed and did the buttons on my shirt. I glanced through the window as I did the ones on my cuff. The curtains had been drawn all night. I raked my fingers through my hair. Oh! What a night it was! Paula sleepily turned over towards the direction I was. The sheets revealed her chest slightly. Seeing her br*asts reminded me of the fun we had last night. My lips curled up to the side. I picked up my jacket and wore it. I tapped my pockets and felt a bit incomplete. Something was missing but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Bleep!The notification sound was familiar. My phone; that was what I was looking for. I caught a glimpse of it underneath Paula’s pillow. I let out a sigh and walked over to her side of the bed. I leant closer, collecting it without waking her up.I got hold of the phone and a surprise hug too. I looked below. Paula had her arms round my neck and wore a smile. Her wavy hair was a bit messy.“Good morning!“ She said cheerily.I hummed
~Jacqueline’s POV~I opened my eyes blearily. My eyelids felt heavy. I tilted my head to the side. I could see the people standing at the end of the door faintly. I partially could recognize Daisy because of her clothes. The other two seemed strange and unfamiliar. I tried to sit up but couldn’t. I tried again but my body was too weak to move.“Daisy.” I called softly.Huh? That bleep sound familiar. I turned to the side and caught a glimpse of the vital sign monitor. I could see the screen partially. “Oh, Jackie! You’re awake!” She said worriedly as she hurried to the bed.Daisy sat beside me and stroked my hair. I could hear sniffing and awkwardly wiping the tears in her eyes. Tears equals crying, right? “Wh-what happened? Why are you crying?” I asked curiously. I looked forward and had my eyes at the doctor. Liam had leant against the wall close to the door, with his shoe touching the wall. His eyes met mine. He looked away and heaved annoyingly. He gabbled something as he put
~Rex’s POV~I opened the door and entered my office. I closed the door without looking at it. Oh! What a day! Who would ever believe an hour meeting would eventually turn to three hours? I’m glad it’s over. I let out a sigh and walked towards the table across the room. I turned over the glass and unscrewed the top of the bottle of Hennessy. I poured in some and partially screwed back the top. I walked away from the table, towards my desk. I was almost there when I caught a glimpse of the door opening. I stopped and waited to see who it was. I took a sip of the Hennessy. Paula walked in, with her eyes at the file she was holding. I walked to my seat. I kept the glass on the table. I took off my jacket and hung it behind the chair. I sat down tiredly. “Here is the file you had asked for earlier.” She said as she walked towards the desk.Paula kept the file on the desk. She glanced the glass on the table and furrowed her brow.“What’s with the glass?” She asked airily.I had my eyes a
Jacqueline’s POVI sat down at the back of the car, with my eyes at the window. I watched the buildings and people we had driven past. I moved away from the door and leant against the soft seat. I turned to the side and glanced at the bodyguard, who was sat close to me. Though he sat at a distance
Rex’s POV“What? Cat got your tongue?” I mocked her.She stayed mute. Her body quivered at the sight of my gun. I playfully moved the gun round her face and intentionally stopped at her neck. I put out the lit cigarette.“You want an answer, don’t you?” I asked her ironically.She closed her eyes f
Jacqueline’s POVI felt the rough palms pulling me up. I had bumped into something—a smooth pillar, I guess. Though, it was just a scratch on my arm. I was forced to sit down on a chair. It felt like a wooden chair. The bag over my face was pulled up.I squinted my eyes when I saw the bright lightb
Jacqueline’s POVIt has been a week since I got married and nothing has happened. No calls, no posters of a missing person, nothing. It almost feels like I have been easily forgotten. To top it all, I don’t remember where my phone is. How can I call for help?I am certain Bianca would be worried ab
