"Holy shit, this is where Otis lives?" I said. Jasper seemed just as surprised when the gates to an expansive luxury-mega mansion opened up to let us through. The driveway, which was lined with marble statues, carried up to a house with three wings that overlooked a lake, which had a yacht and another small boat bobbing in the waves. I could see a helicopter on the roof, and I could just tell that there was a pool house around the back. Maybe even a tennis court. One man was out front trimming the edges, while a few security guards were milling around to keep any intruders out and another man was cleaning the fountain that was in the middle at the end of the driveway. "And I thought the house yesterday was too much." Jasper laughed "Hmm. I think I need to splurge more." Someone came to open the door of the Audi for us, then asked for the key. I glanced at Jasper, who was smiling. Obviously loving all this. We got to the front door, and were greeted by a butler and two maids.
"That went over better than I thought," I said to Jasper as we drove back."It did, but I had no doubts.""Really?""None."Pulling up inside the garage, I saw Cooper along with Andy waiting by the elevator, pressing the call button."Where are they?" I heard Cooper groan."Here," I said after getting out of the car."Thank God. Jordan, your sister has gone bat shit crazy," he said as I walked over to him."What do you mean?"Cooper showed me the live video on his phone. It was of Jenna sitting in a dimly lit room crying and saying that she was going to kill herself. "Honestly, since no one believes me and I can't be with the one I love. I might just end this. At least I'll be with my mother. If not, then I'll be happy."No one seemed to be taking her seriously, because it was nothing but laughing emojis."I should call her." I pulled out my phone and dialled her number.On the video, she looked at the screen and sighed. "What do you want, Jordan? To tell me to go ahead and take my l
‘’Why are you looking at me like that?" Jasper only smiled, shaking his head. "Seriously, it's creeping me out.""You are beautiful." He kissed me, then kissed my stomach. That was starting to show now that I was almost at five months. I put my bra on, then moved to sit on the bed. Jasper was still staring at my half naked body and smiling."See something that you like?" I teased. "Actually, I do." Jasper kissed me again. He stood up and stepped back a bit, then went down on one knee."Jordan Sanders, I don't want to lose you-""Yes." I nod, cutting him off."You didn't have to let me finish." He laughed."You don't have to. I love you Jasper and I don't want to lose you either. You gave me love despite all that I have done. You stood by my side with all that I have been through. I couldn't have asked for anyone better."He smiled, then placed a large diamond ring on my finger.I gazed at it for a while."Is this an engagement ring or a wedding ring?"He kissed my lips instead of
"I need to make a stop by the bank first, then we can go shopping. And then the party," I told Jasper."Why do you need to go to the bank?" Cooper narrowed his eyes.I looked away from him.''Are you going to send Jenna money?" He asked.I nod once. "Coop, she is my sister. I can't just leave her like this."He rested a hand on my shoulder. "I know. I'm not mad at you."When we got to the bank, everyone was staring at me. Someone even snapped a picture. "Well, look at you. Engaged, a baby on the way, and a celebrity all in the same year." Cooper whispered. "Don't forget Otis daughter and Jasper's girlfriend." I whispered back.I went up to the smiling teller."Good morning," she chirped."Moring. I would like to transfer some money to an account. It is under the name Jenna Eva Sanders."The teller took the slip that I wrote the amount on.Her mouth formed an O. "Jordan Sanders, can you give me a minute, please?" She held up a finger before moving to the brown desk behind her. "Sir,
After getting dressed in a light green dress, Jasper and I made our way stairs to where everyone was milling around, wondering what was going on.Jasper stopped on the third step before addressing our guests."Thank you all for coming. I know everything was short noticed and you all must be wondering why I called you here. So let me just welcome everyone to my new home, one that I will be sharing with my fiance. My soon to be wife, Jordan Sanders, and our baby."There were collective gasps and low murmurs."That is right, I have asked this beautiful woman to be my wife, and she said yes."Even though there were confused faces, they all applauded. But I could see a few faces that didn't seem too happy about our announcement. One I particular was Mariana, leaving me to wonder why Jasper invited her. The other was from a man who had a deep frown, not hiding his displeasure. People came over to congratulate us."Welcome to the family, sis." Alice came up to me and pulled me into a hug."
"Cooper, can you put your phone down and help me with this dress? I can't get it over my stomach." I complained. He fanned me off. "One second, they are about to pass the verdict. I want to hear if he will get a life sentence or what."I rolled my eyes, then continued to struggle without his help.Copper glanced up at me and laughed. "Look at you with that planet before you.""Shut up and help me.""No one told you to get married with your damn eight months belly. You better pray that this dress doesn't rip.""That's why I bought two.""Has the jury reached a verdict?" A stern voice asked from the top pocket of Cooper's jacket."Yes, your honour. In the case of people against Cameron. We find Cameron Carter guilty on ten counts of fraud. Guilty on five counts of rape, one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of conspiracy to murder. And guilty on three counts of child abuse and pornography."There was an uproar, but whatever Cooper was watching the month long sa
"Jordan Sanders." I heard my name being announced. I shook my head to purge the fogginess that obscured my mind, now lamenting going to that party last night. "Right this way." The beaming blonde led me to a closed door. "Good luck." She grinned, then sauntered away. I fixed my dark brown curly mane, so that it was not too much in my chocolate brown eyes. Then attempted to pass my short 5’2 frame as taller, before entering the office. The man at the desk had a bottle of water at his temple, while a tablet dissolved in it. I struggled to examine his face, but his head was low as he gawked at the desk. "Good morning?
I quicken my pace after seeing two security guards coming my way. "You have 10 minutes to leave the premises." One with a bold head tapped his watch. "That's what I'm doing," I responded. "Just letting you know that we have strict orders to call the authorities if you don't." "Shit, shit, shit," I said to myself as I made my way to my old Volkswagen Beetles. I stared at the peeling blue paint of the beat-up car before getting inside. I rest my head on the staring wheel, not believing what just happened. "Cameron freaking Carter," I said aloud, hitting my head on the horn, scaring a few people that were around. "He is such a prick." I decided. (How was I supposed to know that it was him? It wasn't even like he stopped me and he was under the influence as well.) I pulled into the light traffic, driving carefully as to not hit anyone or lose control of my car. Because, 1, I don't have insurance. 2, my car doesn't have seat belts and tend to have
