“Everything is in place; they’re waiting for you Mrs. Doyle” Mindy, one of the staff of the wedding planner agency informed Jessica who was ready to go but she felt her head spinning once she stood up and had to sit down again
“Are you okay Mrs. Doyle” Mindy worried as she stepped forward to help her.
Jessica shook her head but the spinning got worse, and she started feeling dizzy and her vision blurred
“I’m okay, just give me a minute” she said
“You didn’t eat all day” the young girl observed
“Ye.. Yeah I… think” Jessica stumbled on her words taking a seat hoping the sensation would pass
“You look pale, you need sugar, here have a bite at this, it should make you feel better” Mindy offered a piece of cake from the samples that were on the table, luckily she thought of it in
Chapter Seventy-One “I’m so sorry I ruined dinner” she told Lucas once they went back home, Jessica had recovered her voice and her energy and her state went back to normal “Don’t ever say that again” he reprimanded taking her hand in his as they walked in the bedroom “But;”she started in a protest “No but, what matters is that you’re okay, and your voice is back to normal” he said grabbing her other hand and bringing both to his lips. Jessica looked at him as he done so and smiled ruefully, “ No , don’t do that” he shook his head before adding “no sad smiles tonight doll” he told her softly grabbing her face in his hands and giving her a chaste kiss before he sat at the edge of the bed After few hours at the hospital, Lucas drove them back to the white house while the guests went to their respective homes, Lilly checked out on Jessica right before she left along with her parents, wher
Chapter Seventy-Two“Now, I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride” Lucas and Jessica shared a kiss in front of everyone.The wedding ceremony turned out to be perfect. Jessica had everything she wished for and more and Lucas couldn’t be happier.Although they’ve been married on paper for some time but the ceremony felt more; real, special and happier.Everything was perfection, from the flower sets and the decorations to the venue and how the tables were arrangedShe asked him for a dream wedding that only she dreamt about, it was nothing fancy or expensive but it was special to her, the little decks of jasmines on the tables, the hand written vows and the dance to her favorite song and he gave her everything she wantedEveryone congratulated them, most of Lucas’s friends if not all were super friendly and they were all happy
“Coffee?” “No” “Smoothie?” “Nope” “What is that you want?” “Pickles and honey” “What? What is with you and those cravings? Like seriously; what’s wrong with chocolate and ice cream?” he let out in disbelief “ How about you ask your baby boy” her reply came out irritated Jessica tried to slid out of bed but her huge bump was weighing her down and she huffed in annoyance “Come here” Lucas offered her a hand helping his six months pregnant wife off bed and rubbed a loving hand on her belly “Listen, you need to eat healthy and let your mommy have her morning coffee already, she’s scaring me” he said in a low voice as if talking to the baby through Jessica’s bump “Ouch” he protested as she poked him “Are you telling my baby that I’m scary?” she let out in disbelief pressing her hands on his chest to pushing him away but he didn’t budge , seeing her angry-like face was priceless
Chapter one She came out of the shower and wrapped a white towel around her full breasts. Jessica walked carelessly towards the door, after having her sculpted body half covered. She tiptoed to her bedroom, droplets of the hot water from her shower slid on her skin. She looked at the clock, It was half past seven. That meant she still had two hours to get ready. Soon she dried herself and walked to her wardrobe . She chose one of her red lingerie sets . As every evening she carefully wore a pair of black tights and a corset underneath another one of her knee-length body molding black dresses .She shove on the tights and the lingerie and sat to her dresser and blow dried her long auburn straight hair. Then she carefully moisturized her already flawless glowing skin , wore one of her brown colored lenses over her emerald green eyes , shaped her look with a perfect black liner and set off
" I would like to see if you're not hiding a weapon between your thighs" He said calmly in the most impassible and formal way ever existing.All of this was getting on her nerves. Jessica was furious , she would fire him with thunder if she could. "Does he have a dead wish?," She stormed soundlessly ."Please," He added coolly .Jessica swore that she could kill him there and burn his remains, but she resigned herself from doing so of course. She didn't like to be ordered around , and above all she despised being disrespected."Damn him and his perfume" She screamed inwardly and mentally rolled her eyes at the impossibly arrogant and charming man he was.Mr. Doyle kneeled at her feet and slid his hand to the inner of her thigh, Jessica trembled at his touch, as a wave of warmth transpierced her bodyShe was getting angrier at him, for humiliating her like that. What was he thinking ? that
Lucas gave her a once over and added"There are few details we have to go through before we make an appearance," Jessica nodded and he resumed." Your name for the night will still be Rose. We met during a gala in Monte Carlo and you are supposed to be friends with Jack, my step brother, that's your backup story, no details. You'll introduce yourself when I say so, Understood?""Yes,""Don't worry , you won't have to deal with everyone during the event, I'll be by your side the entire evening . no need to fear the cameras they're not allowed to take pictures unless I agree, is that okay?""Okay""One more thing, " He took out a small box from his inside pocket and opened it . It contained a couple of silver masks"May I?" without further do, Lucas helped Jessica off her black mask, and took off his own black mask as well.He took a minute studying her featu
"You just did," she replied calmly, she but knew all too well that a man like Mr. Doyle would make sure to know the identity of his escort to a masquerade ball. That was fair enough. And on the other side she trusted Elijah for protecting her true identity."Or do you prefer Jessie ?" Lucas brushed his nose against her ear once more. Swaying her to the side."Rose, is perfectly fine," she replied , starting to feel nervous. Lucas slowly moved his hand and rested it on the small of her back causing her to shiver to the heat of his hand, he guided her hand that he wasn't holding up and placed it to his neck as he stepped closer to her, And then swayed her to the left and then swayed her to the right, and she gave in to the rhythm of the waltz that was playing.Jessica followed Lucas' steps carefully , trying not to trip over her own shoes since her dress was longer than what she'd normally wear. But deep down she kne
flashes blinded her whilst a dozen of cameras surrounded them. Both Lucas and Jessica were caught inside the crowd of journalists. The reporters kept asking questions and holding microphones. Jessica was on the verge of crying right now, she wanted to scream at them and tell them to leave , she opened her mouth to say something but Lucas was faster to react."No comment!" he declared sternly, in a blink he held Jessica closer to his chest, and hugged her tight, wrapping his hand around her head, Jessica closed her eyes and fell into his embrace. her small figure quickly took refuge in his wide shielding arms. Soon security guards came in and interfered , Jessica took grip in his vest while Lucas walked securing his hand around her and went straight towards the elevator. A guard opened the door for them and they hopped inside without delay.The elevator's doors closed behind them and Jessica stood inert in Lucas' arms ,strangely
