CHAPTER 37:DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY
“In love with two men? This I had to see for myself,” Leslie shouted over the phone. She had placed a video call to Jess immediately after she saw her call. Jess had just taken a nap after the most relaxing massage, when she was woken up by Leslie’s call.
“Why are you so excited? It was a hypothetical question,” she said.
“And you suddenly hypothesized about being in love with two men? Girl please. This is Leslie you are talking to,” Leslie said. They both giggled and then Jess sat up.
“Tell me about him,” Leslie asked.
“There is nothing to tell. He is just a good friend who told me that he has feelings for me. I kinda like him too but I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t be feeling this way,” Jes

Jess opened the door to her apartment and the silence was too loud. This was the 12th day in a row that she had gone without seeing Pete and she missed him. He called her once in a while and they had met once at work but he claimed that he was too busy with work. She had asked him if things would be easier if she came to the penthouse but he had refused. He said that he was barely there as well because work took him everywhere. She took out her phone and talked with a few friends then she video called William. They talked for almost half an hour as had become their habit and then she went to make dinner. When she had showered and eaten, she decided to call Pete before she went to sleep. His phone rang a few times but he didn't pick up. She got into bed and watched a movie for a few minutes before she tried again but this time the phone was switched off. This was unusual for Pete because he rarely ignored her. Jess began to think back to the last month
Jessica's Love Triangle CHAPTER 39: WAS THE HEART MADE TO BE BROKEN?
Ella and Pete remained frozen as they watched Jess walk away. Pete was feeling like his whole world was crumbling in front of his eyes. All the issues with his parents and the trouble this was posing in the business and now this. The common denominator in all the problems in his life was Ella. He looked at her standing there innocently, as though she had not just cost him his relationship. He now hated her more than ever before. Ella saw the look in Pete’s eyes and she knew she had made a huge mistake. She tripped and fell on the floor, as she tried to walk away from him but he caught up with her in a few quick steps. He kicked her painfully in the stomach and then he pulled her up so that she was standing. He slapped her twice and then he drew her close because another resident was passing by and he didn’t want any trouble. He nodded to the passerby and then whispered in Ella’s ear before he pushed her away. “Thank Amanda the

Pete had spent yet another sleepless night thinking about what Pam had told him. He had gone to Jess’s apartment and turned everything upside down looking for a single clue that would give credibility to Pam’s claim. He had found nothing. He then spent a good part of the night going through the secret camera’s he had installed in William’s office. He had previously installed surveillance cameras in all of the managerial offices at NextGen. He intended to use this for his own blackmail if things ever turned against him. He opened William’s file which had been relatively harmless so far. Pete scrolled through footage quickly, concentrating on the clips where Jess was involved. He was surprised when all he could come up with was one hug. He then hacked into Jess's phone and went through the many messages they had exchanged with William. All he could find was back and forth correspondence about Williams' social me

William had sat in his car for a few minutes after he left Jess’s apartment. He had desperately wanted to go back and talk some sense into her but he knew she needed time. As he finally convinced himself to leave, he saw Pete walking towards the lift carrying a shopping bag. He couldn't hide his disgust as he remembered how vicious this man could get. He had seen photos of him beating up people who had stolen from him, and he was rumored to be even more cruel to anyone who crossed him. Jess had assured William that they had separated, but she was not ready to be with him because she feared his family. William watched Pete enter the lift and he felt a sinking feeling enveloping him. He hoped that Pete would not convince Jess to forgive him and rekindle their relationship. Unfortunately there was nothing William could do. The decision was hers and hers alone.The following morning, William went t

Jess in a wheelchair or the old man lying in the bed covered by all sorts of tubes and hooked to monitors. Neither acknowledged his presence and he entered unnoticed.“What happened?” William asked. A startled Jess looked up to find William looking down at her. He looked shocked but also extremely stressed.

He was determined to put on an ordinary front because he intended to make the most of this day. His colleagues at the IT department realized how up beat he was and they all commented on it. He kept telling them how excited he was because things were going really well with his girlfriend. The guys made jokes about how that was a coded message about a wild night in the bedroom and they all had a good laugh about it.

Donald Garcia was one of the most respected and feared businessmen in the city. His empire spread far into the different parts of the country and even his most vicious critics were unaware of the magnitude of his wealth. Donald had properties in all the major cities in the country. He also had some properties outside the country. NextGen was a brand name he had built when he was a young man and he was quite fond of it. The group allowed him to include many properties into his umbrella without having to account for their ownership and management.

He owned many pieces of real estate that were leased to private companies, individuals and even subleased to other real estate managers. His income w
