THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: CUT-OFF FAMILY
JESSIE“Jessie, I can explain." “You don't need to." I stopped Stephen before he could try. 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 it was best for me to treat all my relationships as what they were – professional and contract-based. He might not want me because of my status, but I had to do all I could to save his reputation. After all, he would be in this mess purely because of me. “Jessie…” I picked an apple and took a bite of it before hurrying to the door, the laptop bag straining against my shoulders. “I will be late for work," I said with a full mouth and fled. With Stephen, when things seemed to be getting serious, it ended up this way. I had to know when to stop expectations, or in the end, I would be the one always getting hurt. 'Remember, Sister, just six days now.' I stared at Matthew’s message that ende
THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO: TICK TOCK
JESSIEI stared at my phone and at the message on my screen. I wanted to just run away from Stephen, who was preparing tea in the kitchen, but I had to stop running from things. I had to sit with him and have a conversation about what things were between us. I knew I was married to get his mother off his back, and that was not really working at the moment, but what else was I supposed to do? He walked in with tea in his hand and dropped it on the table. “Have this; it should help after the fright you had today." His voice screamed that he cared, but I couldn't understand him. What was the real truth? Was he helping buy off the Whites because he was scared they would ruin his reputation, or was this because of me? “Jessie?” He grabbed my hand. I gulped, feeling my throat bob with intensity as I turned to him slightly. “What are you thinking? You know you can tell me." ‘Just talk to him now, Jessie. Talk to him and clear all the misunderstandings,’ I told myself, hoping he wouldn
THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE: IN DEBT TO
JESSIEWade and Matthew walked up to me. Wade had too many grey hairs now, more than the last time I saw him, which was not that long ago. They both looked like life had dealt them a losing hand. I guess the tension of racking up debts while gambling was getting to them these days. Matthew stood in front of me with a smirk that made me shiver. His hair was messed up as if he had run his hand through it multiple times, and the clothes they had on were so dirty I doubt they had changed out of them in days. "Sister," Matthew said with a sinister smile, taking a step forward as he ran the back of his hand along the side of his face. “What are you doing here?” I asked, holding my breath while my entire body shook. Among the three of them, Angela was still bearable to deal with. She was ruthless but still much more bearable. These men didn't care at all; all they cared about was making sure they benefited. If they could, they might have sold me a thousand times to write off their debt
THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY: ONE MOMENT OF PEACE
JESSIE“I want all their debts settled." I was not supposed to be eavesdropping on his conversation, and I knew that, but I was curious after what I heard. “I don't care how much it is; settle it all," he said again. At this point, I was wondering whose debt was so important that it had to be settled. Could it be Isabella? Did he still care for her even after everything she had done? I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Of course he did. They practically grew up together, and I was the reason he was not married to her. My grip on the paper bag tightened so that I felt like my veins were going to pop out. I knew the truth, but still I couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal.Helping the Rockefellers shouldn't be a big deal, except I knew what Isabella would do. Maybe he was still very blind to the truth after all. If I were taken out of the equation, they might be the happiest couple ever to exist. “Once it is all settled, then I will own them." His tone sent a shiver dow
THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE: BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND.
JESSIEThere was a smile plastered on my face when I got out of bed the next morning. The phantom feeling of Stephen's hands carrying me up didn't leave even after a long, hot shower. I also couldn't shake off the embarrassment of being caught pretending to be asleep by him. There was a thermal water bottle with a note on it. ‘For your nerves –'The bottle had piping hot chamomile tea that did great things to my system when I had it. I was still freaking out about Angela, but his reassurance had me less worried. “Jess! Are you in there?” Tina's voice filled my room before she pushed my door open and basically stormed in. "Hi," I said, not turning away from the mirror where I was trying to get perfect eyeliner. “You left all of a sudden yesterday…is everything okay?” she asked, plopping onto the bed and making herself comfortable. "Yeah, it is," I said, contemplating whether I should tell her about the Whites. I knew how much she liked to go off her rails about things like this.
THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT: THE WEIGHT OF YOU
JESSIE“Oh, Jessie, ever so naive. Why wouldn't I be able to reach you? You are my daughter, and in reality, you owe me your life."“Owe you my life? What did you give me that I owe to you? “For sixteen years, I took care of you; your rich mother abandoned you to take in a poor girl." Her words cut deeper than any knife. The reality was that Lauren had taken in Tiffany and taken care of her more than me. The reality was that Lauren, even though I was back, didn't acknowledge me as her daughter but as a splinter in her side that she desperately wanted to get rid of. “And what did you do? I adopted you from the orphanage, and you repaid me by having your billionaire husband come after me?” She continued speaking even though I was not responding. “You have to pay rent and living expenses, Jessie. For years, I took care of you even when your mother didn't want you. “You can't…" My shaky voice stopped when my phone was forcefully yanked out of my hand. I could tell that my face was d
