Chapter 61

Jessica Hemsworth

I stared silently, my lips hanging open in shock.

Maybe this was a bad idea.

I wore a smile, yanking his hand off. “Your jokes are always expensive, Mr. Liam…” I chuckled dryly, lifting a glass of water to my lips.

“I'm not joking.”

I almost choked on the water… almost.

I bit down into my lip, fondling my fingers, unsure what to say to him.

Then my phone rang, cutting through the moment.

Mr. Hall.

“Excuse me, please.” I muttered, reaching for my phone.

“Hello!” My voice cracked as I spoke on the phone, heart thudding loudly in my chest.

“Hey! Jess… where are you? I came home but you were not here.”

I glanced at Mr. Liam, my grip tightening around the phone.

Maybe I could get away from him using this opportunity.

I chuckled softly. “Oh… Is it urgent, Mr. Hall?... I'll be there right away if it is.”

“What are you…” Mr. Hall was still speaking when I ended the call, then turned to Mr. Liam with an apologetic smile. “I'm sorry, Mr. Liam, but

    Chapter 68Viktor Holt ‘Where are you?’My eyes were glued to my phone, reading my last text to Jessica. It was still left unanswered.Was she not throwing tantrums? Was she serious about the divorce shit?I let out a scoff. For a second, I almost considered calling her… Almost. But I didn't. She will come crawling back to me soon, begging me to forgive her for making that silly mistake.“Yes, she will.” I muttered, letting out a sigh.“Hey, Viktor.” I lifted my gaze. Susanne stood before me.For a second, my eyes swept around her body. She had only a baggy shirt on. One that stopped just below her butt. Her hair fell freely down her shoulders.My brows knitted together when I recognised the shirt she was wearing. Wait! Isn't that the shirt Jess got for me on my last birthday?I shot to my feet, locking eyes with her. “Where'd you get that?”I wanted to believe that it was just identical to the cloth.I had kept the cloth for one year. Not even once did I wear it after Jess gifted

    Chapter 67Jessica Hemsworth I sat in the backseat of the cab, my fingers tightened on the divorce papers as if it'd disappear if I didn't hold it tightly.I checked out the file again, a smile stretching around my lips.My phone rang, disrupting my thoughts.Alicia.“Hey, bestie. Congratulations! Tim said he delivered the divorce agreement already.” Alicia's cheerful voice echoed through the phone. I could feel the excitement in her voice. “Yes, babes.”“I'm so happy for you, sweetheart. You can finally leave that hellhole of a marriage…” I smiled. “Thank you, sweet.”“Let me know if you need me to go with you to go give the papers to him. You need someone to protect you should he try shit with you.”I chuckled. “Yes, ma. I'll do just that.”“Let's meet and discuss over lunch tomorrow.”“Sure, darling. See you around.”I let out a sigh after the call, resting my head on the headrest while staring out through the window.We reached the company, and I headed to my office.I was welc

    Chapter 66Susanne 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 65Oliver Hall Liam:'I confessed my feelings to Jess yesterday'.I tightened my jaw, eyes locked on my phone, as I read the message again.What was her response? Did she agree to date him?I was curious to know, but I held back. I didn't ask Liam. It's better to find out for myself, or just let it go.'Good for you'.Just as I was about to send the message, I paused, letting out a sigh. "Forget it." I muttered, tossing my phone on the bed.I tried to brush it off. To distract myself by getting ready for work, but the message kept creeping into my head. A gentle knock on the door drew my attention, then Jess's voice followed."Good morning, Mr. Hall."My breath caught in my throat as I pulled the door open.She stood before me, cladded in a breathtaking gorgeous sleeveless short gown, her lengthy hair cascading down her shoulders, a sweet smile plastered on her face."Is everything alright, Sir? You don't look fine." Her voice tore through my thoughts, drawing my attention

    Chapter 64Susanne‘For breaching the contract, you are to pay the sum of five hundred thousand dollars’I batted my lashes, heat crept up my chest, my grip tightened around my phone, eyes scanning through the contract termination that my agency sent to me.“This doesn't make sense. They can't do this to me!” Tears blurred my vision.For a second, I thought of going to them. To confront them, but I knew better than anyone that it wasn't a good idea.‘If you mention a word of what happened today to anyone, I will hunt you down’.I felt chills run down my spine as his words echoed in my head. I guess I can't screw Jess over with that.I let out a sigh, dragging my fingers through my hair, frustrated. I can't be stuck in this mess, please. There has to be a way out.My phone rang. Phill. Right… Phill… I hadn't heard from him since the morning of the incident.Maybe he can help me out of this mess.I grabbed my phone, pressing it to my ear as I lay on the bed.“Phill?” I tried to sound

    Chapter 63 Oliver's room Oliver Hall ‘I'm divorcing Viktor’ A smile spread across my lips as those words replayed in my head. I didn't mean to be like this, but I had suddenly lost control over my mind. My attention was drawn to the thunder rumbling outside, and I reached for my phone. 7 P.M. Jess was not home yet, and it'll start raining anytime soon. “Is she okay?” Just as I was about to dial her number, her call came in. “Hey, Jess… Where are you?” “I'm fine. I can go home by myself.” I rose to my feet as Jess's voice sounded in the background. “Hello! The owner of this phone is wasted here. Can you come get her?” My jaw tightened as a masculine voice sounded through the phone. “Where is she? Who are you?” “I'll send you the address.” Then silence followed. Shit! I grabbed my car key, phone in my grip as I stormed out of my room. My phone screen lit up with a text as I approached the parking lot, the bar’s address popping on the screen. I drove straight t
