Family~
A small word but it held so much power over Jes. A few people that have so much control over her. Jes was master at pretending that she was fine and somewhere in pretending, she had started to believe that she was really fine.
She can spend months in her happy and chill mode but sometimes she felt everything a little too much.
Dear Mom,
Do you miss me? I have left my childhood behind. . .
Shake it off!
A few times at her work Jes had lashed out on her fellows. One minute she was joking and in the next minute, she burst into tears for no specific reason. It mostly happens when she kept her feelings locked within herself.
It took her two years to shape herself into a strong person or to act like one.
It was the time when she stopped
Fighting
Crying
Trying
For others. . . For her loved ones only to find the lost Jes. Somewhere in loving them, Jes had totally lost herself.
It was the time when she found herself. . .
Jes was a shitty person who just pretended to be strong all the time. A girl who did crazy things to take her mind off her problems. A girl whose fault was that she was looking out for her family. . .
When Jes started her job she was so scared. She used to think that why would anyone want to be her companion when her own family didn't want her in their lives.
An ugly girl. . .
An outcast in the society filled with beautiful girls. . .
Jes was a cancer survivor and appearance means a lot to her.
After chemotherapy she lost her hair, confidence, weight, her attitude, in short, she lost everything but her family was always there for her.
Her brothers were there for her. She was always pampered like a princess that was why she was not used to people talking to her rudely.
Or more like she was not used before but now she can dish as much shit as much someone throws her way.
In the past, Jes had no social life. Actually, I didn't even have a life outside her family because she never wished for one but now she didn't have a family in her life. And to overcome that loss she had built her own social circle.
Jes had made an independent life for herself where people didn't know about her possessive brothers and billionaire fathers... Where no one knew that she came from a filthy rich background.
Jes look at herself in the mirror. Her blue eyes were hidden by green contact lenses. Her appearance had changed a lot since she left home.
Her once blonde hairs were now brown and their length was up to her shoulders but thanks to the extensions that they fall just above her hips. She wearing a micro mini skirt with a backless black blouse that left nothing for imaginations.
"Julie are you sure you want to do this?" Maddy asked nervously.
"Jeez Maddy, stop being a pussy and if it helps, you can think that I'm just going to have premarital sex." Jes tried to lighten his mood.
"Julie it can't be premarital sex if you have no intention of getting married. Tell me would you feel proud while telling your future husband about your wild sex life?" Maddy gritted.
Jes turned towards him fully. "Maddy some of the best moments of life are those who you can't tell anyone about. So calm your tits because I'm not searching for a husband nor I ever will. I like my freedom. And STOP CALLING ME JULIE!!!" She shouted the last part while fetching her clutch.
"Now you are talking nonsense. You know girls like you fall hard for someone and then they can't fall out of love. I just want you to be careful Julie. I don't want you to end up hurting yourself." Maddy sighed while calling Jes by my birth name. She didn't know what will it take for him to stop using that name.
"Maddy it's nothing more than burning some steam off. No one's gonna hurt me in the club and you don't have to come if you're so scared."
"Yeah! As if I have an option. Either we go together or no ones going. Now let's go and if Emily found about this then the blame is all yours."
"Fine." Jes snapped.
Sometimes Maddy was such a pussy but a sweetheart. A sweetheart who was more worried about Jes than his own self.

It took them almost an hour to reach the club but after entering the VIP section it felt like the ride wasn't even worth it.
Maddy the pussy has convinced Jes to come to his friend's club. She shouldn't have listened to him.
Damn it!!
Outside the VIP section the club reeks of alcohol, sweat with a suffocating environment but inside the VIP section, everything was calm. Ed Sheeran's Shape Of You was being played in the background and it looks more like a damn office party than a club.
Fuck you Maddy!
Jes glanced towards Maddy and gave him a 'I'll kill you' look. He was currently sulking in the corner of the VIP room far away from Jes while she was sipping on her neat whiskey.
She should have realized when he suggested this club that he was not going to let her get laid tonight. She should have waited for Emily and his departure before coming to a club. Jes was really in a sour mood and on her second drink.
Rule number one of getting laid: GET DRUNK!!
But tonight Jes was only getting drunk. No libido for tonight. . . But there was still a little chance of stating her libido between these rich brutes who loved to show off their money maybe someone will approach her.
Jes scanned the dimly lit club, waiting for someone to approach her. It was not a bad thing for a woman to approach a man but it won't give you the satisfaction that someone had taken an interest in you and they have approached you first. It was like a process to boost your ego, more specifically Jes's Ego.
The music in the background and the whiskey in her system was really soothing. Jes closed her eyes to relish the feel of being free, of being in control of her life.
But never in a million years, she was ready for the sight that greeted her when she opened her eyes.
There in front of her was standing 'Anonymous'. The man she never thought that I will ever meet in her life again.
He was standing proudly with a group of three men surrounding him. In his tailored suit, he looked like a powerful man, far away from the man Jes had seen in ripped jeans, hoodie and wild hairs.
It was like someone has dumped a cold bucket of water over Jes.
The sole sight of him was enough for her to come out of her relaxed and dazed state.
Her brain was on fight or flight mode and guess what. .?
She chose the latter option but luck was not on her side and she was knocked on her ass by the same bastard who knocked her in the theater a few hours ago.
The glass of whiskey that she was holding fell on the floor.
The crash echoed in the room~
Blue eyes of that cute Demi-God were regarding Jes with shock and horror. His eyes were flickering from her face to her lean stomach that was round with her food baby the last time she met him and that was only a few hours ago.
Everyone present in the VIP section had their eyes set on them. And "Anonymous" was looking straight at Jes. . .
Busted...!!!
Jes opened her eyes slowly and then closed them again. Her eyes felt so heavy and her head felt like someone had hit the back of her head with a hammer.Jes rolled on her extremely soft bed.Wait! Soft?This didn’t feel like her bed, it was too comfortable to be her bed. Abruptly Jes opened her eyes to look around. She wasn’t in her room, this room with an elegant yet dry black and white theme wasn’t her room.Jes raised the blanket from her body and gasped when her eyes fell on a men’s t-shirt. She patted her body, good thing she was still wearing her bra and panties, and the bad thing, she had no idea how she ended up here.The last thing she remembered was drinking with Sage.Where the hell was Sage?Getting up from the bed Jes’s eyes fell on a man’s slippers. She didn’t waste any time in putting them on. She grabbed her cell phone and bag from the si

Getting up from the bed Jes’s eyes fell on a man’s slippers. She didn’t waste any time in putting them on. She grabbed her cell phone and bag from the side table but before she could leave her eyes fell on something below the pillow. She lifted the pillow, 'HER' by Pierre Alex Jeanty
There in the middle of the dance floor were standing Sage and Jes wearing micro-mini skirts paired with tops that left a little to nothing for imaginations. With their wild hair, they perfectly fit the description of wild women the waiter had described.Raphael, Aidan, and Lucas watched them with an open mouth~Sage was hooting while Jes was scaring guards with the raccoon that she was holding in her hands.The first thing that came into Raphael's mind was that from where in hell she had gotten that thing?When Jes's eyes fell on a girl who was recording her, she staggered towards the girl. "You should have taken his permission before filming him. Look now he is angry." Jes exclaimed drunkenly before holding the raccoon close to the girl's face.The girl screamed in horror before stumbling away from Jes. Jes, the woman Raphael had admitted of being in love with in front of his friends not even ten minutes ago.
Lucas grimaced when Raphael placed his glass of whiskey back on the table with a thud.Raphael shot Lucas a look, clearly telling him to suck it up. It was the first time Raphael had gotten a taste of rejection, rejection from a woman he had waited for so long. He never knew that rejection tasted this bitter.All of his life Raphael had been wary of the people who were friendly to him but you can't really blame him, if you had gone through what he had survived then you would be paranoid too.It was normal for Raphael to be annoyed or feel paranoid when someone approached him but that was not the scene with this woman.This certain woman whom he can't get out of his mind.For the first time in his life, Raphael was feeling annoyed because a woman had rejected him. Firstly Raphael had thought that Jes might be uncomfortable after knowing that he was among the top 10 most eligible Billionaire Bac
"And there she is the mastermind I was telling you about." Jes's eyes fell on Lucas who was talking to Sage in the hallway not very far from Raphael's office. From where Jes was thrown out not even two minutes ago.Why the hell was Lucas talking to Sage?Then it clicked.Lucas was the man Sage had told her about, the boss's friend who had helped her once when she fucked up with the invitation cards."She is the crazy food lady." Lucas pointed his finger at Jes and in return, she narrowed her eyes at him.God!! He was asking for it.When Sage looked in Jes's direction her eyes widened. Jes walked straight to them.Aidan was standing with them too but he was busy with his phone, ignoring the commotion around him."Jes what happened?" Sage asked and then winced when she realized that she had used Jes's nickname instead of calling her Emily."Jes? So she told you too that her name is
Jes gulped when she saw the burning intensity in Raphael's eyes.She felt like a deer trapped in a lion's cage."Sneaking food in the theaters, faking a pregnancy, partying in the club, approaching strangers for one night stand, you have got quite hobbies besides running away from me Miss Emily." Raphael said in his husky voice while crossing his arms over his chest. His eyes shining with amusement. It looked like he was trying very hard not to burst into a fit of laughter.At that moment Jes realized that she can't run away from this situation. She had to face the consequences of her actions.But that doesn't mean that she had to face them now. Especially after the humiliating encounter with the Demi-GodTurning around when Jes tried to open the door Raphael's hand banged against the door keeping it close. He was extremely close. Jes can feel the heat coming out of his body. Her breath hitched when Raphael's warm breath f
