STEPHEN

“I don’t think we should do this,” Jessie said with her head hung low as she fiddled with her fingers. Her sagging shoulder made my heart ache.

I didn't get married to her to put her in this situation. This was strategic, a contract marriage to keep our families out. That was the reason I married her, that and the fact I couldn't shake her off my mind, no matter what I tried.

I raised my hand to her shoulder, a cold feeling running from my palm to the rest of my body. She raised her h

    JESSIE “A wheelchair is overkill, Jessie." Stephen refused to get into the wheelchair. I was worried about him. And he was treating it like it was really nothing. He could have been seriously hurt. “I can walk," he said again. The nurse who was holding the wheelchair was staring at us. Her look was saying everything she was holding back from saying. “Are you still in need of the chair or…” ‘No, thank you,' Stephen spoke up before I could. “I can walk in by myself." “Then go to room three… the doctor would be in to see you shortly," she said, turning on her heels and leaving us alone in the hallway. “Why did you send her off?” “Because I don't need a wheelchair," he said. He led me to the room while I was overborne with worry for him. I knew I had to think rationally, but I couldn't stop my mind. The thought that he could have been seriously hurt couldn't leave my mind, not even for a second. The doctor was not even trying to hide his sarcastic expression when he saw the wou

  • THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE: YOU CAN'T WIN

    JESSIE“You win, and I win.” “We all win." I stared at her. At this point, all I can feel for her is pity. Somehow, even as the mastermind, she was strung along by the elders, and now she was forced to face the consequences all by herself. “You don't have the right to negotiate." Stephen took a step forward so he was in her face. His hand dropped from mine, and cold air replaced the warmth I had been feeling. “Finding evidence against Mateo is easier than you think…” he trailed off. His back was hunched over and tight enough to show the anger surging through his veins. “And her mother? She might not have grown up with her, but still, she is family after all."“She is family, and trust me, finding her would be a piece of cake." Stephen’s phone began to ring almost immediately. He drew a breath and took a step back. “See?”He answered the call and put it on speaker between us. “Tell me…” “Mrs Moore has been found. She is currently on her way to the hospital, escorted by the polic

  • THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR: AN UNFAIR TRADE. 

    JESSIEIsabella had sent the address. It was a private room in a clubhouse. I had barely slept at all. All I could think about was what kind of trick she would have up her sleeve. I had seen how witless she could be with things like this. I didn't want to fall again. Stephen had promised we would walk hand in hand and face her. Whatever she had to say, he wanted to hear. “We never really had the chance to go on our honeymoon." I felt Stephen's hands close on mine. I looked at the driver who was trying his best to hide the hidden smile on his face.I leaned in closer and lowered my voice. “Are you asking me out on a date?” “No, I am saying we should go on our honeymoon," he said slowly, turning my hand and intertwining our fingers. ‘How could he even talk about honeymoons and dates now? When my heart was beating out of my chest, and my mind was making up all the scenarios that had not happened yet. "What's the difference?” “One is me asking… the other is mandated." “I never he

  • THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE: PEACE BEFORE THE STORM. 

    JESSIE“We have to go find her." “Not tonight." Stephen meant what he said. He pulled me into the bed and wrapped his arms around me. I knew it would be foolish of me to try to resist. After being kidnapped and detained. Running into danger now was foolish. I shifted, and Stephen's eyes were firmly shut. “Stephen…” He looked down at me. Kissed both my eyes, his lips lingering against each eyelid for a while before he pulled away. “Go to bed, Jessie." I closed my eyes and allowed myself to be lulled to sleep. I deserved to rest. After the crazy couple of months of trying to attain peace. I woke up the next morning feeling lighter than I had slept. For the first time in days, I didn't wake up to panic calls or fear. Stephen was already up, staring at me. “Why are you looking at me like that? ” I murmured. He brushed the hair sprawled against my face behind my head and grabbed my neck, pulling me closer. His eyes darted around my face. “I want to frame this moment so I can kee

  • THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-TWO: LIKE HOME. 

    JESSIE“You lied to me. " Mateo’s voice was louder than normal. He was screaming and struggling, but with both hefty bodyguards on both his sides, his chances of escaping were next to none. I ignored his tantrum and got up. I helped Stephen to his feet and dusted his side. He grabbed my hand to stop me, but I pulled away, dusting him again and again. “Take him away," Stephen commanded. The men dragged Mateo away. With all of the evidence presented, there was no way he could ever escape prison at this point. “She belongs to me," Mateo screamed as he was being pulled away. We all froze, and the men holding him frowned in response. Stephen wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me flush to his side. “She was never yours," he said slowly. I spun in his hands and pressed my forehead to his chest. Tears dropped from my eyes; I sniffed, trying to stop it, but it just kept flowing down my cheeks. Stephen’s hands shakily touched the back of my head, and he began to caress it slig

    JESSIE“You said you loved me." Mateo was busy tying my hands because he believed that was going to be his control over me. The toothpick in between his lips fell out, and he raised his head slowly to me. “You won't understand how much I gave up for you." “But you never knew me. How can…” “The moment I laid my eyes on you, Jessie…" He raised his hand to my face and ran the back of it across the side. I shuddered in response, and he frowned. “I already knew you were the one for me." "Impossible" I was trying to get him riled up. Because once he loses his cool, he is more prone to mistakes. Even his perfectly curated plan couldn't stand the test of anger. He gripped my chin and laughed toothily. “I would show you what is impossible." He pulled me up and checked on the rope once more. He nodded to himself and dragged me to the door. "You have a unique way of showing love," I muttered. “I am glad you see it." “I don't…" I took a deep breath to stop myself. He was the one who w

    JESSIE“Okay, but you need to be careful; I still want my wife in one piece at the end of this.” The word 'wife' lingered in the air. I was his wife, but still, it made me feel conscious that I had taken the Harrington name somewhat overnight. “I can take care of myself,” I replied. “You don’t ha

I bit my lower lip and tried to take a step back, but his grip tightened, and he intertwined my fingers. “Remember what we discussed today," he said,

I did want to hear what he had to say; I was curious, but I didn't want to hear the answer at the same time. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to bear it. After listening to Matthew talk yesterday, I knew i

The whites were standing now with shock on their faces. “You…you…what are you doing here?” Matthew stammered. Stephen turned to me, holding my hand and pulling me forward. "I told you I would hand
