Chapter 16

Jessica Hemsworth

My heart pounded hard in my chest as I stood in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection. I woke up as early as I could, to prepare for work. It was my first day today, and leaving a bad first impression by being late was something I didn't want.

“You got this, Jess.” I cheered myself on, took one last look at my reflection before leaving the room.

However, my smile faded at the sight of Viktor the moment I stepped out of the room. Not this morning, please.

Viktor blocked my way as I tried to ignore and walk past him. I guess I have to deal with his nagging.

“Where are you going?” One brow raised, eyes flickering with curiosity.

“Not your business.” I brushed shoulders with him as I walked past him, but he held my hand and pulled me back.

“I asked where you are going, Jessica!” He gritted out. “I deserve to know.”

“Well, I didn't ask where you were going last night, did I?” A smile curled around my lips, eyes on him, voice calm, but impatient

    Chapter 77Jessica Hemsworth A sweet aroma coming from the dining area graced my nose the moment I stepped into the house.“Hey! You are home.” My brows knitted together as Oliver came out of the dining room, wearing an apron. “Hey! Why are you wearing that?” His eyes swept over his body as if to confirm my question, and as he looked at me, he smiled. “I'm trying out dinner.”My lips parted, but no words came out. Then a smile crept up my face and I said, “You should've called me to come join you—”“I wanted to make it alone.” He shrugged. “Just trying my cooking skill. I haven't made any food by myself in a while.”“Oh…” I muttered, unsure what to say.“I will go change and join you.” I said hurriedly.“I'm done here. Just shower and come down for dinner.”Heat crept up my chest, my grip tightening on my handbag, eyes locked on him.“Sure.” I muttered before leaving.Oliver was just setting the table when I got back, so I helped him.My eyes swept over the table. “When did you sta

    Chapter 76Jessica Hemsworth Of course, I knew getting Viktor to sign the divorce agreement wasn't going to be smooth.I stepped out of Viktor's house, my fingers clenched around the papers, my jaw tightened.“That bastard!” I gritted silently, looking back over my shoulder, letting out a sigh.My phone rang as I stood along the curb.Alicia.“Hey, bestie!” Her cheerful voice echoed from the other end. “I'm heading to a seafood restaurant. Wanna join me?”My face brightened. Spicy seafood… the perfect thing I needed at this moment.“Sure. Send me the address.”I hauled a cab and jumped in as the call ended. Then five seconds later, Alicia's text came in, and I told the driver the address.I rested on the headrest with my eyes closed, breathing steady, and mine blank.We reached the restaurant, and as I walked in, I spotted Alicia. She was devouring crabs like she'd been starving for days.“Hey, babes. You are here.” She smiled. “My God! Their seafood here is so delicious.”I let out

    Chapter 75Jessica Hemsworth “We are here, Ms.” My breath caught in my throat, my fingers tightened around my handbag as the cab driver's voice slammed me back to reality.“Thank you.” A smile stretched around my lips as I paid him, then alighted from the car.My eyes scanned around the familiar neighborhood, and with a deep breath, I stepped inside the compound, and as I approached, Jeremy stepped out.His face burned with disdain, a deep frown creeping up his face.He stood firmly, blocking my way. “What are you doing here?”I scoffed silently. “Are you here to beg so dad would take you back?” He crossed his arms in front of him, a smirk touching his lips. “You are so pathetic, Jessica. I thought you weren't coming back.”I smiled softly, crouching down in front of him, eyes locked on him. “Aww poor boy… I've only been gone for barely three days and you look malnourished already… have you been feeding well without me here?”Colour drained from his face as he muttered. “Huh?”“You

    Chapter 74Jessica Hemsworth I froze, my eyes widened, heart racing, every thump heavier than the last as our lips locked.I curled my fingers into my palms beside me, squeezing my eyes shut.I lifted my hands to push him, but my body betrayed me as they wrapped around his neck instead, deepening the kiss.My body burned with desire. Maybe because he was so good at kissing that I couldn't help but want more… or because I haven't done this for some time now… Or maybe I had never been kissed this good my entire life.My body instinctively pressed hard against his, arms tightening on his neck, our tongues fighting for dominance.‘Stop this, Jess!’ A voice screamed in my head, but still, my body didn't listen… My fingers sinking into his soft silky hair, pulling it gently. This was unbelievable… My boss kissing me… Maybe when I opened my eyes, I'd realised this was nothing but a dream, or my imagination.Then a soft faint knock came on the door, and he cursed silently into my lips befo

    Chapter 73Susanne A smile spread across my face the moment I stepped into Viktor's room. He hadn't been gone for long, so the sweet scent of his familiar cologne still lingered in the room.My eyes swept over the room, lingering on his portrait hanging on the wall, and I couldn't deny the excitement I felt within me.I walked to his bed, throwing myself on it, hugging his duvet to myself. I could still feel his warmth from it.‘Why can't he learn to love me? Why can't he give us a chance when I've desperately been in love with him?’It doesn't matter how long it'll take me, but I'll make him mine one day.Even though I had been here several times over the years, Viktor had never allowed me into his room no matter how hard I tried.I rolled out of the bed as I noticed the closet standing next to Viktor's. My brows knitted together as curiosity sparked through me.“Whose closet is that?” I muttered, counting my steps toward it, my chest tightening at the thought of it belonging to Jes

    Chapter 72Jessica Hemsworth “Wow! So, you've been designing since you were a kid?” Mr. Hall senior looked at me, his face brightened with a smile, impressed by my story.I nodded.“That's beautiful…” then he turned to Oliver. “You two have something in common.”Ollie rolled his eyes, reaching for the napkin to clean his mouth. “You are not about to brag about me again, are you?”He chuckled, turning to me. “You see, Oliver has been a smart kid since he was a toddler… he has always loved fashion.”I raised a brow, adjusting on the chair. “Really?”“Yes. He had many awards back in school. I will show you later. I have them stacked up in his old room.”I glanced at Oliver. He was just rolling his eyes, but I could tell he was proud of himself… who wouldn't be?“You must've really been proud of him.”“Of course… I've always been proud of him. He is my golden boy.” He laughed.We chatted through the meal, and once we were done, I stood to clear the table.“No, Jessica. Don't bother about
