Chapter 31

Jessica Hemsworth

The familiar cologne of aunt Lucy's hallway welcomed me as I stepped inside.

I met her in the living room. Eyes glued to her phone as usual. Legs crossed. A glass sitting on her nose bridge.

She glanced up briefly, her face unreadable, then looked back at her phone like I was just background noise.

“You are here…” she didn't look away from her phone after, and just gestured for me to sit on the couch.

My eyes scanned the familiar living room, memories clawing into my head. This house was where my real misery began. I should've stayed in the orphanage after the death of mom. I would've been better off there. This witch right here, ruined my life.

My chest burned, and my eyes stung with tears as I clenched my phone tightly in my palm, holding back the tears. I couldn't break down in front of her.

“So…” she finally put her phone away, shifting her attention to me. “I got a call from Viktor.”

I scoffed. Silently. Yes. I should've known this meeting was about

    Chapter 44 Jessica 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

    Chapter 43 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

    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
