CHAPTER 17MARRIED SOONJessica just finished taking a shower. She wore cute pajamas, then she leaned her head on the wall. She looked towards the wall clock that already showed seven o'clock at night.Jessica's eyes were closed. She was remembering that misfortune has followed her since this morning. Starting from being scolded by the head chef, cause it had been three days she didn't come to work. She was given a warning letter by his manager. Finally, she had to go home from work on foot because she got no money.She didn't know where her phone was. To be honest, she needed that communication device to contact Chelsea, Beryl, and Mrs. Grace. Perhaps, after getting a salary, Jessica would immediately buy it.Jessica got used to it, not having a penny, even before the end of the month. Complaining was useless, she needed learn to bear of her own life.She could have asked Lexi or Mrs. Anna for money. However, Jessica didn't want to lower her self-esteem anymore. Sleeping and eating
CHAPTER 18MARRIAGE CONTRACTKnock…Knock…Knock…Lexi knocked his parents’s bedroom. He knocked hardly. He couldn't wait to tell the good news about Jessica who was ready to marry him."Mom! Dad!” he didn't stop knocking on the door.“Wait a minute," his mom said from inside. Three seconds later, the door opened and his mother stood behind the door. She looked at Lexi questioningly. “What?”"Jessica is willing to marry me, Mom. We have to prepare for the wedding as soon as possible!” Lexi told her."Really?” Mrs. Anna wasn't convinced by her son's words."Right! If you don't believe me, then ask Jessica!” Lexi looked into Jessica's room, then passed to his room.Entering at his room, Lexi ran a little and lied his body on the bed. He smiled to himself as he was feeling so happy. However, he didn't want to admit that his reason for wanting to marry Jessica."Yes, Yes, Yes!" Lexi clenched the fingers of his right hand, feeling so happy.Lexi intended to sleep. He closed his eyes and t

He continued to give a kiss on that girl's neck repeatedly.Knock…Knock…Knock…The door was knocked by someone."Lexi," his mother called his name. She was knocking harder than ever.Lexi quickly removed his hand from Jessica, it could be bad if his mother knew Jessica was in her room."Hide," Lexi pleaded. he opened his bathroom and closed that door, leaving Jessica to hide there.Then, he walked towards room door and opened it.“What is it?" Lexi asked, he rubbed sweat on his forehead.“It's about your marriage to Jessica," she said, pushing the door wide open.Lexi snorted resentfully because his mom got into his room. “What does that mean, Mom?” He stopped mom's steps."Give me three days, I'll at least prepare a party for your wedding,” she said.“No Mom, I don't need a party, I just need to marry
CHAPTER 20THE DAY BEFORE WEDDINGThis afternoon, the sun looked so bright. Sunlight felt so hot. Lexi's patience was starting to wane. He was mad cause he didn't know where Jessica was.Although, he tried to be patient. However, he was really curious where his mother was hiding Jessica.Yeah, since finding out that his son snuck into Jessica’s room that night, Mrs. Anna decided to put Jessica’s in a secret place, out of Lexi could reach. That middle-aged woman didn't want Lexi doing something with his lust to Jessica. No!"Huft!" He sighed resentfully, his mind and heart always thought about Jessica. Every time he tried to focus on the reports and graphs on his laptop screen, Jessica's shadow soon flashed through his mind.“Arsene, do you really not know where Jessica is?" he asked. He was looking towards Arsene focused on checking the financial reports of the company's branches."Lexi, you're not kidding, are you? Next month we have to win the city park development project, we have
CHAPTER 21THE WEDDING DAYIn the living room of the Ricardo family residence is decorated simply according to Lexi's wishes. As if this wedding was not a special occasion, there were only a few people there.A man who stood up in the altar would make the bride and groom marry. There were also both of Lexi's parents, Mrs. Grace, two people of Ricardo family, and Arsene.It was really like an unexposed secret wedding, their marriages were covered from the public, no media or people from outside knew. This is for the sake of Jessica and Lexi.As Lexi's wishes, he only wanted Jessica halal to be a wife for him. The girl was under his control, binding as a wife without the intention of loving and having children. He didn't want to live happily with her.Yes, Lexi only wanted to vent his lust. If not for the coercion of his parents, Lexi could have just made Jessica her bedmate without intending to marry the girl.Jessica lowered her head. Her expression on her face was tense, with spikel
CHAPTER 22INDIFFERENT OR FOOLAll along the way Alex was silent. He focused forward and never looked at Jessica.His patience was really being tested. During these three days he held back and patiently waited for the wedding day. However, when the night after the wedding was in sight, it coincided with the first day of Jessica's period. That meant Lexi must be patient until Jessica her period's over.Lexi's indifferent made Jessica wonder since she went to the supermarket until now. Almost to the basement of the apartment, there wasn't a word that came out of Lexi's lips.Jessica looked at her husband every now then she played thumb in confusion. Could it be that Lexi was so angry that her car seat was stained?Although hesitant, Jessica decided to ask later when their arrival at the apartment.Lexi got out of the car. He didn't want to talk to Jessica. The girl followed in Lexi's footsteps, got out of the car and ran small following the husband's wide and fast footsteps.“Wait for
CHAPTER 23SEXY TIPS FROM MOMThe sound of a cell phone buzzed, waking Jessica up. She blinked both eyelids. Her hands are stretched out on the table that is next to the sofa. She groped her phone.Jessica was surprised when she saw the phone screen that already showed eight in the morning. She woke up late.Then, she immediately got out of bed. She ran to Lexi's room. She was sure if the man would be very angry because she hadn't prepared food for breakfast.Jessica didn't see Lexi there but she saw two maids who were cleaning the room.“Where is Mr. Lexi?"Jessica asked as she walked towards the two maids."This morning Mr. Lexi told us to come here, he had just left for work,” the one of the maids answered.Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Lexi was not angry because he had already left for work."Miss, I have prepared a breakfast menu, you have to immediately take a shower cause Mrs. Anna will come here soon," One of the maids said and left the room. Jessica went
CHAPTER 24MISUNDERSTANDING The day before noon, Jessica was sitting on the balcony of her room. She was looking down to the crowded highway from the top of this apartment.It had been a week, Lexi hadn't been home. That morning, at night Jessica carried out sexy tips from her mother. In the morning, Lexi left for work very early and she didn't come home until now.Without any news via message or by phone. Not only that, Lexi had never contacted him until recently. Lexi also didn't send message to any of the maids.Jessica kept guessing what would have made Lexi mad at her."Hello," Lexi's voice was quiet."Hello It's me Jessica,” Jessica said.“Yes, what?" Lexi asked. He said with no expression."I ask permission, Iwant to go out to meet with Chelsea," Jessica asked hopefully. "May I?”"Just tell Chelsea to come to the apartment. I let your friend come but I don't want you to leave the apartment!" Lexi told her.“What if Chelsea don't want to?” Jessica at least wanted to feel the o
