Jessica's heart stopped beating briefly on hearing Cade's question. She was so sure she'd never heard him talk this angrily but thinking about his situation at the moment, she agreed this was the least he could do. "Cade, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. If I had just listened to you and kept my promise, all this wouldn't have happened." Jessica accepted her fault but it seemed like Cade wasn't interested in that. "So? Does that change anything now? Everyone is talking about how I will be a much better Playboy than my brother. What will we do about that? Like I said, just pretend like we never met. If we meet in class on Monday, I will only be as normal as everyone else so don't expect more from me." Cade cautioned and before Jessica could say another word, he ended the call. Jessica continued grimacing in pain and even when Leah tried to get into her room, she refused to let her in and also refused to go outside for the rest of the day. Night came and she ended up sleeping off

"I'm not that cheap. I just called to check up on you. How are you taking the blow this time?" Frank mocked indirectly. "Just like I did when you tried to rape me and also defamed me online." She replied, biting her lower lip in a bid to suppress her anger but Frank laughed at her statement. "You've never given me a listening ear after the incident but do you seriously think I will stoop that low like your new boyfriend?" He asked, confusing Jessica. "I agree you're pretty which is why you will always get into trouble with men but I must say, Mr. Westham, played his game and scored pretty well too. You always act like some smart saint when you're just a dumb pretentious swore. It's such a shame you deprived me of sex just to give it free of charge to that player. Anyways, he was right and definitely kept his word." He ranted further which confused and angered Jessica even more. "What the f*ck are you talking about?" She asked curiously. "What do I have to gain by posting those

"What is he doing here now?" Cade wondered as he looked worriedly at Jessica's distraught face. "It must have been because of the fight. I advise you…open the door and go with him." Jessica suggested as she turned around and walked to her seat. "I stopped talking to him and I don't live in his house as well. Do you mind going with me to the proprietor's office?" Cade requested as politely and calmly as he could. "But he is still your brother and current guardian. I don't want to…" "If I get into a fight with him…I won't be able to concentrate on my exams afterward and I'm sure you wouldn't want that." Cade complained, indirectly emotionally blackmailing her into agreeing with him. "Jessica Vegas! You better let go of my brother and open this door already!" Cruz threatened. Cade looked apologetically at Jessica and she had no other choice than to agree to his demands. "Ok! But you're brother…""I will handle him." Cade interrupted before going to open the door. "Cade, what has

"Cade, you're misunderstand…" "You didn't expect me to hear your conversation that night right?" Cade interrupted Cruz. "I had actually fallen asleep that night but…I woke up later that night for a cup of milk and then I saw that you had come to pick me up. I would have voluntarily left with you the next day but after seeing that picture the next day, I realized what you meant when you said those words." He explained while Cruz stared at him with blood shot eyes. "Cade, don't worry about anything else and just focus on your exams. There will be no court cases." Jessica reassured and walked towards Leah's car but Leah was not satisfied with that decision. "What are you saying Jessica? Cade is willing to help and I'm sure you know what his testimony would mean. Even if we can't send behind bars, his image should be tainted a bit and his and his pride should be broken. He will have to pay some fines too but I'm sure he'd be very okay with that since he has so much to spare." Leah exp

"What? Cruz hasn't been to the hospital, that's impossible. Cruz loves his work so…Cade don't panic, I will call his office again." Jason tried to comfort Cade who quickly came out of the hospital and ran into the house."Brother!" He called out as he ran to his room with Jason running after him. "Brother, where are you?" He asked as he checked Cruz's home office and every other part of the house including his own room."Do you think something bad happened to Cruz?" Cade asked in a panic and pulled him into a comforting hug. "Cruz is not a kid. I'm sure nothing bad has happened to him." Jason reassured but Cade just couldn't bring himself to believe it."He had been missing for two weeks and no one even realized it…not even me! I wonder how disheartened and lonely he must feel now!" He complained bitterly before he quickly pulled himself away from Jason. "Do you think he was kidnapped again?" He asked, his eyes wild with fear. "Cade! Be calm! I told you Cruz would be fine. If he w
