The movie credits scrolled on the extra large TV screen, announcing the end of the movie. Jessica had kicked her heels and rested he feet on the couch snuggling to Adrian at some point after her forth glass of wine whereas he had a hand wrapped around her waist and his head rested on hers.
“Though you were a light weight” He tilted his head to look at her Jessica looked at his smirk
“Oh , you know nothing about me” she purred.
Jessica was in fact a light weight that wouldn’t remember what would happen after her second glass of wine.

Chapter Forty-EightJessica was curled up in bed looking at the rain as it hit the window glass and trickled down; the weather was as gloomy as her mood and she let out a heavy breath.A week had passed since she and Adrian broke up, after telling him about her previous side job as an escort and the fact that she got involved with a client; he said that he couldn’t deal with it. Well; at least he’s been honest about it but Jessica might have had her hopes held a bit high.She only told him that the man was powerful and the guards were to protect her and didn’t go into details about everything because she preferred to keep Lucas’ identity unknown.After all it had been a huge scandal and maybe even Adrian heard of it which would only make things worse. But as their conversation went on she didn’t need to tell him more because as soon as she said the word escort, Adrian’s eyes looked

Lucas was sitting in his office, when Annabelle made an appearance with few papers for him to sign.Although he didn’t have to work a regular shifts he had been spending the most of the previous week in his office. He usually came earlier than most of the people working at his building and he only went home to sleep.Ever since he left Jessica’s apartment he hadn’t been himself. When Emilio reported to him that Jessica was only home the next morning he felt daggered in the chest.He assumed that Jessica was done with him despite the visible chemistry they had and his desperate attempt at convincing her not to go didn’t work. Well he was aware that he didn’t say the words that he should have said to her but his ego was too self sufficient and he couldn’t tell her not go out with the ad exec so instead of telling her not to go or at least that he had missed her, he made it look like he didn’t care and didn’t ev

Chapter Fifty“Lucas, please leave” Jessica pleaded extending her hand between the two men who seemed on some quest to show who was the most dominant Alpha male; she was lost between their death stares and sneering words to one another but was sure if it was a competition Lucas would step on Jimmy like a bulldozer“Why don’t you ask him to leave?” “I was here first!”“Enough! Both of you” she scolded“Jess please I need your help” Jimmy said“Why do you expect me to help you when you slept with my sister and told my parents and made it look I was the one who cheated?” Jessica huffed; whileLucas fell silent, trying to comprehend the situation before hitting him, finding more reasons to hate him.“Jess look, I know I cheated on you but Amanda and I were in lo

Chapter Fifty-One“I’m sorry miss” the receptionist said with a hint of compassion before picking up the phone and getting back to doing her workJessica’s vision blurred and the tears she’s been holding for hours burst out trickling in stream on her cheeks.Lucas arrived at the waiting area looking for her before his eyes spotted his suit jacket around her shoulders she was standing before the reception desk. His heart flinched when he saw that she was crying, he rushed to where she was holding her by the shoulder“Everything’s okay?” he inquired; Jessica shook her head, tears trickling on her cheeks “Talk to me Jessie” Lucas said but all Jessica’s done was burry her face in his chest as her sobs took the best of her.His hands wrapped instinctively around her, his

Chapter Fifty-TwoJessica stood in front of the clerk; a pen in her hand. Lucas had signed his name first and she looked at how easy he did that not an ounce of hesitation in his hands or eyes. Was he really that desperate? She couldn’t help but think to herself.He was wearing a midnight suite that fit him to perfection; his ebony hair was back combed just like the first time they’d met and a light stubble giving his chin a rougher edge, Jessica couldn’t deny the feelings stirring in her belly for him.Despite everything he had done she couldn’t find it in her to hate him, yesterday when he had dropped that bomb on her when the nurse came she thought he would wait until she said yes but he rushed in to make sure Amanda had her surgery covered even before she said the word.When she confronted him about it, Lucas simply said that he knew she would say yes and trusted her to get the other end of the barg

Chapter Fifty-Three Lucas stepped inside his father’s room; the old man was resting his back against a couple of pillows while talking to Michael his attorney. The man has been their advisor for so many years. Lucas made his way towards the bed greeting them“Give us a minute” The old man addressed his attorney to give him some privacy while talking to his son. Michael excused himself out; leaving the two aloneLucas held out the marriage license and rested it on the bed without a word. Raymond picked it up and adjusted his pair of glasses bringing the paper closer to his face so he could read it. When he did he nodded lightly“You’re officially a married man”“Such was your wish”“I wish you did the right choice son, Miss Sanders was quite the catch actually” he said humored“This should be the least of your concerns, father

Chapter Fifty-FourWhile both enjoyed their meal in silence their eyes met more than once and Jessica was unsure of what was going through Lucas’ mind as she could feel his gaze on her even when they severed the eye contact. Earlier when he said that she didn’t eat in two days she noticed concern in his eyes and couldn’t help the small smile that stretched her lips.So much had happened between them it felt awkward to some extent. and Jessica expected him to be the self sufficient man he was but he seemed different or so she wondered briefly before brushing off the thought.“Have you talked to your friend Lilly” Lucas said breaking the silence at long last.“Uh huh” Jessica nodded in surprise; he remembered her best friend’s name.“Did you tell her about us?”“She’s more than just my friend, she’s more like a sister

Chapter Fifty-FiveJessica looked away avoiding him, her cheeks blushing for some unknown reason it wasn’t like the first time she’d seen him but it remained somehow disturbing.“Would you like me to run you a bubble bath?” he suggested humored Jessica shook her head“A shower would be just fine” she said trying not to look his way, because he was still as smoking hot as ever and she still had those stirring tingled in her belly when she saw his chest“I don’t get it, would you like me to join you?” he deadpanned ; her eyes shot towards where he stood and to her surprise he was two step away from her now reddened face, a cocky grin on his lips.“N…No” she shook her head a little too fast as he stepped closer to her,“What is that you want then?” he asked his voice huskier, almost came as seductively as when he talke
