Tyler"Tyler, it's supposed to be a relaxing week. What are you doing?"Jessica was in my shirt, undoubtedly naked underneath. We were giving our all last night, and yet she was already looking beautiful in the morning, a bit pale but permanently beautiful in my eyes. I'm sure I was biased but I still need to get a ring on her finger."I'm delegating my work to Larry, and his assistant is working from Kayleigh's desk at the moment. Let's just say he's not very happy with that.""Really? this is your brother Larry we're talking about? I thought he hated Gemma, the last time I saw him he was criticizing her work. Also, I have a feeling they've known each other in another lifetime before. I mean the hate they have for each other is too astronomical for them to have in this time alone." She let out her small laugh while I watched her as he poured coffee on her cup, adding some milk then gently

KayleighAfter all these years, I was finally admitted again. I looked at my surroundings. The whitewashed walls, the door with a window, and a lock system from the other side. The standard living furniture was an indication of more depressing thoughts ahead.I remembered I was there before, right after my dad died. Mom said she killed him, that it was self-defense. But what if I did it? I still couldn't recollect the exact details up to this date. My psychiatrist said I might never will, and I've made my peace with that fact.Maybe all the abuse and rape I underwent made me finally crack and kill him. That was what I kept saying to myself, surely mom didn't do anything knowing her daughter was being molested. But she said she protected me, that she finally killed him for me. And her words had been the glue, it was making me stay with her after dad was gone.In a way, I was thanking my mom

TylerA couple of days ago, I was more than a bit shocked when I find Jessica was having lunch and laughing freely with Elsie."I'm not sure I like you making friends with my ex," kissing the nape of her neck, I pulled her back flat to my front."What, why? I'm having coffee with her later this afternoon." She turned to face me and wrapped her arms around my shoulder pulling me lower for a deep sexy kiss. Jessica was looking beautiful in my t-shirt and her lacy panties and nothing else. It was our lazy Saturday morning thing, I love spending hours cozying up with her in the penthouse, and sharing my weekend time with someone else was a thing that I'm not willing to part. I'd have her locked in my basement if have one, that's how possessive I was of my fiancée."Seriously? but this is our weekend, I even move mom's thing to Monday. You know she hated that, and

JessicaA month after Kayleigh was admitted to the hospital I told Tyler that I wanted to see her again."Remember the last time you were there?" Tyler was being straight protective of me and didn't like where our conversation was going."I do, but she was my best friend for years and she did somehow help me cope with the aftereffect from my abusive brother. I just need to see her, even if it might be my last time. I need to close that chapter of my life,"He knows my implication by saying my past as the dark chapter, the memories that I don't want to revisit. He knows I needed the closure."Let me call her doctor, your meeting will be supervised. I'm not risking you being hurt again.""Thank you,""Jess, you know I'll do anything for you. Now eat, we'll leave in half an hour."I smiled at him and continue eating my omelet

Tyler"So how was the visit?" mom asked the moment Jessica was busy talking to dad about one of her clients who turn out to be one of his friends from college."Pretty bad, but as expected. That was why we postponed this dinner.""It's okay, I understand. Hopefully, it'll be all happy experience from now on. You better treat her right, Tyler. She had enough bad ones already." Mom hugged me and told me to go keep her company while she finishes up with the dinner preparation."I will mom, you know I will." I kissed her cheek before leaving mom so she can go back to instructing the chef and his little crew back in the kitchen area.My feet brought me to dad's side where I join in on their conversation. "Son... Jessica here is a keeper. I told you, didn't I? have you thought about the little Tuscany villa I mentioned last week?""Dad, not now..." I whispered h
