Chapter 91 Jessica Hemsworth “Hey… Are you okay?” A smile spread across my face the moment I opened my eyes and was welcomed by Oliver. “Jess? Are you awake?” He squeezed my palm gently. “Hmm. I'm awake.” My eyes roamed his body, and I noticed that he was still wearing the hospital's garment. “How are you feeling now? Are you okay? Did the doctor say you would be fine?” I groaned, sitting up on the bed, and Emma quickly came to help me up. He smiled. “I'm fine, Jess.” “I told you to get some rest. You almost hurt yourself.” Emma complained, and I smiled. “I'm fine, Emma. You don't have to be worried about me.” She rolled her eyes. “That is what you kept telling me, but you collapsed in my arms. Do you know how hard it was for me? Oliver was here, fighting for his life, and—” “I'm sorry, Emma.” She sighed. “I'm glad you are fine…” She looked between us, a soft smile creeping up her face. “I'll excuse you two.” Then she stepped out. “Are you hurting anywhere? Should I ca

Chapter 92 Three days later Jessica Hemsworth Back home, Jonathan carefully laid Oliver to the bed, while I stood behind him, holding on tightly to the plastic bag containing his medicines. “Thank you, Jonathan.” Oliver said, smiling at him. “It's nothing. I'm glad I could help…” Jonathan paused, turning to me. “Please take good care of him. Tend to the wound as the doctor advised, and please, get some rest too.” “I will… Thank you so much, Jonathan. I really appreciate this.” He smiled. “It's nothing.” He then turned to Oliver and said, “I'm working on finding Phillips. Investigations are going on now, and I hope he is found soon. Until then, please be careful so as not to be harmed by him again.” “Sure. I will.” Jonathan bowed slightly before leaving, and I let out a sigh. Oliver groaned as he tried to sit up, and I rushed to his side, helping him up. “Ask me to help you when you need to sit up. The doctor said you shouldn't stress yourself.” I said, as I helped him res

Chapter 93 Jessica Hemsworth I stared at Viktor as he sat before me in the cafe. “Are you here to whine to me about Susanne again?” A smirk stretched around my lips as I stared at Viktor. He tightened his jaw. I sighed, leaning close, my hands on the table, and eyes locked on him. “My answer still remains the same, Viktor. I won't drop the lawsuit.” He let out a scoff, and the next second, he tossed pictures in front of me on the table, his eyes burning with fury. “Explain what the fuck is happening there!” My brows knitted together as I reached for one of the pictures, then my face softened, a smile stretching around my lips. They were pictures of myself and Oliver, but only my face was captured by the camera. “Is that the reason you want to divorce me? Because you found another man?” He slammed his hands on the table, his tone sharp and dripping with rage. I raised a brow, reclining on the chair. “You are married for fuck’s sake, Jessica! How could you be hanging out wit

Chapter 94 Susanne My blood boiled beneath my skin, my fingers tightened on my phone, and eyes glued to it, staring at a picture of Jessica and Viktor sitting in a restaurant. For fuck’s sake, why can't Viktor let her go already? My phone started to ring, and my brows knitted together. Phill? I picked up hesitantly, pressing the phone to my ear. “Thank goodness you picked…” His voice was low, and dripping with fear. “Phill? Is everything alright?” “I got into trouble, Susanne. Can you lend me some money? I need to travel immediately.” I rolled my eyes, throwing myself on my bed. Seriously? Calling me out of the blue to lend him money? Who does that? “I don't have money, Phill.” “I know you have money, Susanne. I don't have time for this bullshit! Send me some money.” “Don't be an entitled jerk, Phill. What's wrong with you?” I heard him groan, then his voice came on again. “Look, I can't talk much right now. You got me into this mess in the first place. You made me los

Chapter 95 Jessica Hemsworth My inside bubbled with excitement as I sat before my desktop in my office, eyes glued to the screen. “Is this a dream?” I blinked again, pinching the skin under my dress, and it stung… It wasn't a dream. I am really a Paragon Couture artist now. For days now, I have been immersed in studying how to use computer to design dresses, and thankfully, I'm getting better at it. “Mr. Hall, I can…” my voice trailed off, and my smile faded once I realised that I was no longer in the same space as Mr. Hall. I let out a sigh. Right… I need to focus on my job as a professional artist now. I can't let other things disturb me at the moment, especially now that I need to prove my competence to the board members. I grabbed my sketchbook and made a rough sketch of a crazy baggy shirt, a satisfactory smile crept up my face once I was done. “Perfect!” I spent the next few hours before lunchtime, designing, and as lunchtime approached, Oliver texted me, ask

Chapter 96 Jess Back in Liam's car, I wiped my tears with the handkerchief he gave me, then sniffled. “Thank you.” “Hmm. It's nothing.” Silence thickened in the car for a moment, then I spoke. “What are you doing here? How did you find me?” He sighed. “I found you by coincidence.” I raised a brow, then nodded. “It’s the remembrance of a close friend today. I came to pay my respect again.” “Oh…” I muttered, unsure what to say. “I don't know if this is appropriate… but I'm sorry for your loss.” I said, holding my gaze low. “Hmm. Thank you.” Our eyes met as I turned to him, and I swallowed nothing. “Your friend… has he or she been dead for long?” I asked. “Hmm. Several years, actually.” “Oh.” “She was really a good person. She was nice to me. It's unfair that she died.” He sighed, a hint of sadness in his eyes. “It must've hurt really bad. I understand how you feel…” I sighed, resting my head on the headrest. “Even after several years of losing her, I still can't move

Chapter 97Oliver “Jess? Are you there?” I knocked on her door for the third time, and when I didn't get a reply, I pushed it open, and a gasp tore through my throat once I saw her.She was fast asleep on the bed.I carefully pushed the door open, making sure not to make a noise as I walked in.“Ugh! She's going to wake up with a body ache if she sleeps like that.” I muttered, adjusting her on the bed, then pulled the duvet to cover her.I let out a sigh, sitting beside her on the bed, my eyes locked on her face, as many questions ran through my mind.What could've happened to her? Where did she go earlier? Why was her phone switched off? Why didn't she want to eat? Why was she crying?I reached for her face, carefully tucking away the hair on her face. Her face looked fine, but her eyes were swollen. As if she had been crying for so long.I should find out what happened, who she met, and where she went.As I reached the door, her phone pinged, and I paused.For a second, I hesitated

Chapter 98Oliver I glanced at Jess's seat for the umpteenth time restlessly, many thoughts lingering on my mind. Is she okay?For a second, I considered going to check on her in her new office, but just then, my phone pinged with a text, and I reached for it.‘Board meeting’Right… Jess is supposed to present her project today, where the board members will vote if she stays or not.I let out a sigh, dragging my fingers through my hair.‘Hey! Are you alright? Do you think you can handle this? If you can't, I can postpone the meet…’“Mr. Hall… I'm here.” I paused and lifted my gaze. Jess stood at the door, a smile lingering on her face.“Let's go.”“Jess?” I called surprisingly, then walked over to her, my eyes glued to her face. “Are you sure about this? If you are not ready, we can—”“I'm ready.”“You don't have to pressure yourself if you're not. We can make this work some other day.”“I'm fine, Mr. Hall. I'm well prepared for this.”I stared for at least another five seconds bef

Chapter 99Jessica Hemsworth “I thought you were not going to show up.” Alicia smiled bitterly as I pulled out a chair across from her in the cafe.She called me out of the blue to have lunch together. Though I was busy when she called, but she sounded so disturbed on the phone that I couldn't ignore her.“Are you okay? Did something happen?”She laughed dryly.. “I just found out that I'm the other woman.”I blinked. “Huh?”“Are you seeing someone?”“Yeah. I've not mentioned him to you. We just recently started dating. Like two months now. I was going to tell you soon.” She rolled her eyes, taking a sip from the iced americano she ordered. “I'm glad I didn't introduce him to you.”“I'm so sorry about that, sweetheart.”“That bastard chased me for two fucking years before I agreed to date him, only for me to realise that he's been married the whole time…” she gritted out.“Apparently, his wife attacked me at work and humiliated me for going out with her husband.” She lamented bitterl

Chapter 100Oliver “Are you sure you're okay, Jess?” I asked as I pulled up at my apartment.She looked at me, a small smile playing on her lips as she nodded. “Yeah. I'm fine.”But still, I wasn't convinced. She has been quiet the whole day, and it's been bothering me.I placed a hand on hers, eyes locked on her. “You can talk to me if anything is bothering you. I will try to help.”She smiled. One that didn't reach her eyes, as she nodded.“I'll be in my room.” And without another word, she stepped out of the car and walked away.Sighs. I wonder how I can help her mood.Just as I was about to step out of the car, something caught my attention. A brown file lying carelessly under the seat beside me.“What's that?” I muttered, knitting my brows together, then reached for it.“I didn't remember keeping this here.” “Maybe Jess dropped it.” I concluded, but something caught my attention. A paper slipped out of the file, and ‘DIVORCE AGREEMENT’ was boldly inscribed at the head of it.I
