Chapter 23

Jessica Hemsworth

“So, will you sell the design to Paragon fashion house?”

I nodded, not thinking twice about it. If this really clicks, then it'll be my first ever sales.

“I'm offering a million dollars for it. Is that fine with you?”

I froze, and my eyes widened. A million fucking what?

I pinched the skin under my dress, perhaps this was a dream, but I felt the sting. A reminder that this was no dream. This was a damn reality.

“I know you are new to this, so I will put you through…” he paused. “We pay our artist for each design that they sketch, and this depends on the market value. We pay royalties to the artist as long as the pay keeps coming in, but this will be a one-time payment, since it's an exclusive wedding dress for my client.”

He explained, and I could only mouthed a ‘wow’.

The artist must be wealthy. I mean, Paragon fashion house is one of the top fashion companies, making at least fifty million in a month.

“So, what do you say?” He leaned close, hands on

    Chapter 42 Jessica Hemsworth Susanne's glare welcomed me as I returned with just a cup of coffee. She stood in front of me, blocking my way. “Where is my coffee?” “Go get it yourself, Susanne.” I walked past her, brushing shoulders with her. “You are so rude for an ordinary errand girl. Don't you think so?” I paused, glanced back at her, and without another word, proceeded into the office. I met Mr. Hall on call as I walked inside, so I waited for him. He turned to me once he was done, dropped his phone, and said. “We are starting the interview in five minutes…” he paused, picking up a note. “The HR is currently not on seat, so you have to take on the role of interviewing the contestants.” I blinked my eyes rapidly. “I've not briefed you yet about it…” he paused, picking up his phone. He pressed it for a few seconds, then turned the screen to me. A picture of a dress displayed on the screen. “We need to recruit a perfect model to wear this dress. It's not a big project, s

    Chapter 40 Jessica Hemsworth I arrived home after a long day at the office, and as I stepped inside the living room, Viktor rose to his feet. “Jess… you are home.” He faced me, a smile displayed on his face. “I've been waiting for you.” I paused and looked at him. “Why?” He sighed, closing the distance between us. “Come on, Jess. It's been two days since the incident, and I've apologised to you already.” I scoffed. “I don't need your apology, Viktor… excuse me.” And without another word, I proceeded to my room. I slumped on the bed once I walked inside the room. Finally! I could leave this marriage without worries. ‘Aunt Lucy, you are going to regret everything. I will fight you with everything I have’ After I showered, I sat on the bed, scrolling through the internet in a bid to get a house agent, and after being on it for what seemed like forever, I finally saw one. ‘Hi! I got your number from your agency site. I need an apartment, please. Please call this number when y

    Chapter 39Jessica Hemsworth “Over here…” Alicia waved at me the moment I stepped inside the cafe. She sat close to the window. “Hey, sweetie. I'm sorry I'm late.” I apologised, hugging her.“It's fine.” She paused, tapping the chair beside her for me to sit. “The attorney will be here in a few minutes.”“Oh, that's fine.”“Coffee or tea?” She raised her brows.“I'm fine, Alicia.” I smiled.She blinked her eyes rapidly. “You look nervous. Is everything alright?”I rubbed my sweaty palms together, nodding my head. But I was really worried. What if the attorney could not do anything about it? Will I be stuck with Viktor for God knows how long?“Hmm. I'm fine.”“Let's talk about you and your hot boss while we're waiting for the attorney.” She propped her face with her hand underneath her chin, and I scoffed.“What about my boss?” “Is there anything you might want to tell me about him?” She winked at me, biting her lip.Heat crept up my chest, and my cheeks burned hot as I turned my fa

    Chapter 38Jessica Hemsworth The walls felt like they were closing in on me as I dragged my feet down the hallway to my office, heart pounding hard, legs almost trembling, fingers tightened around my bag.I dragged in a deep breath as I stood in front of Mr. Hall's office, before stepping inside.Mr. Hall sat behind his desk, his eyes glued to the computer screen.After Viktor caused a scene at the party days ago, everything became awkward until we left.“Good morning, Mr. Hall.”Heat crept up my chest as his eyes met mine. “Good morning.” He glanced at his wristwatch and back at me. “You are late.”“I'm sorry, Mr. Hall. I was stuck in a traffic jam.”He nodded, taking his gaze back to the computer.A heavy silence crept into the atmosphere and lingered for long before I spoke up.“I'm sorry about last time, Mr. Hall. I didn't—”“It's fine, Ms. Hemsworth.” He cut me off, without sparing me a glance.“You are coming with me to the board meeting.” He stood and grabbed his coat, turnin

    Chapter 37 Viktor Holt I tightened my jaw as my eyes scanned the room. Except for one of them that I didn't recognise, I knew the others to be very reputable people. Susanne! This is all her fault! “Do you know him?” All of them, except Mr. Hall whose eyes were locked on me, his jaw tightened, asked. My eyes diverted to Jess as she rose to her feet, and with her eyes on me, she said those words that made my body go cold. “No… I don't know him.” I scoffed silently, my nails curled into my palm. Denying me, her husband, in front of everyone? “I'm sorry about this. Excuse me.” And without another word, I turned around and dashed out of the lounge, closing the door behind me. “How did it go? Who is she with?” Susanne's eyes searched mine for answers the moment I stepped outside. For a second, I thought of lashing out at her, but held back. She was just looking out for me, to be sure Jessica wasn't cheating on me. And without saying a word to her, I walked away. “Viktor! Wait
