"Mom, I'm carrying his child.""What?" Her mother remarked slowly. She never lost sight of Jessie. "You are pregnant?" "Mom. Mom. Okay, so you can't be mad at me. Please, don't hate me?" "I don't hate you. I am just shocked.'' She continued to rub Jessie's hands. Oh Lordy, what a struggle her daughter has had to endure just to secure her future. "How old is the pregnancy?" "About a week and a half." Jessie nodded. "I didn't know until recently." "And he disapproved of the child? Was that why you were crying?" Jessie shook her head. "No. No mom. Din is unaware that I am expecting his child. I'm sobbing because I feel like my hard-earned future is about to crumble. I'll lose my future because of this kid. I can't let that happen. I can't let my future be ruined." Her mom heaved a sigh. "What are you going to do? Why did you not inform him? Do you worry that he'll reject your child?"Jessie was about to start crying again. If she knew Din well enough, he would tell her to keep the
Jessie nodded and flashed a quick grin. "I also don't want to do this, but I think it's best if we follow through on our commitments. I think it's best if we go our separate ways as planned. We're getting divorced in a week, so please let's keep things simple for both of us." He did nothing to halt her as she headed for her room. She didn't seem irate about the envelope at all. Her reaction wasn't going in that direction. If only she had spoken to him, he would have understood what he had done wrong to arouse her ire in this way.He heard the loud bang on Jessie's door and found his way to his room. Jessie sat down on the ground and sobbed, covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud. She was leaning her back against the door. She continued to cry. Din Cooper is the man she loves, but she is unable to tell him. Her mother was wrong. She would be unable to resolve this issue in any way. She would not be able to obtain Din Cooper in any way. He was never truly hers. Ev
"I'm amazed, Mrs. Cooper. You will give birth to twins." Jessie was left in the middle of confusion and questions as the sonographer's voice resounded in her ears.Jessie continued to blink. She was still unable to process what she had just heard. Twins? Two infants instead of one? "What did you just say?" Jessie questioned. "Mrs. Cooper, you are going to have twins." Jessie's heartbeat picked up speed. "You should be happy, Mrs. Cooper. This is complete joy." What knowledge does the sonographer have regarding her happiness? Jessie's hands started to tremble. She is still trying her best to love one baby, and now there are two. How will she do it? "Would you like me to print the picture?" The sonographer asked. Jessie was lost in her thoughts. "Mrs. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper?" On Jessie's shoulder, the sonographer put her hand. Jessie let out a gasp, jolting herself out of her reverie. She gave the sonographer a glance. "Would you like me to print the picture?" Again, the sonographer e
"So, Miss Walker, who is the lucky man?" Marco smirked. With her arms crossed, Jessie grinned. He shouldn't be asking about her personal affairs. He has no right to know her condition or the identity of the person who impregnated her. "Seriously?" She gave him a look. "Look, Marco. Although I am grateful that you saved me, don't you feel as though you are meddling in too much of my personal affairs?" "I am just trying to…" Jessie interrupted and shook her head. "No. Marco, you shouldn't do this. The moment you left me at the restaurant without turning around, our story came to an end." She was furious. Really enraged, but has their tale really come to an end? There was a spark Jessie felt the minute she saw Marco when he saved her. It was the feeling she had when they were still together. "You made it happen, Jessie. If you had listened to me, I…" "No. Stop." Once more, she cut him off and laughed. "Can we not get into this, Marco? Marco, I'm content with my new life. I am a marr
Jessie noticed a strange aura surrounding her as soon as she entered the house. Strangely, Din Cooper wasn't in the living room waiting for her. She went to his room and slightly opened the door. She looked into the gloom with the light turned off. As Din slept, she could hear his breathing. Jessie locked the door before returning to her bedroom. She was concerned for Din. Normally, he would have waited for her to arrive and inquired as to her delay, but this time he didn't. It had never happened before, but he fell asleep before her. She looked at the photo she had taken from the doctor one last time, then opened her cupboard and put it inside. Regarding what had happened today, Jessie felt uneasy. The meeting with Marco and the sudden love she felt. She adjusted the curtain that was set up to cover her window and walked back to her bed to sit down. After giving it some thought, she suddenly started crying. Nothing seemed to be getting any simpler. She talked to her kids while res
Before Din headed to his company, he went to pay his lawyer a visit. "Thank you, Barrister. I am glad you had the time to meet with me today." "Since you already informed me of it, I have prepared your file." He handed Din a document that he had brought out of his bag. "You'll be a free man once your wife signs the divorce papers," the lawyer said. He is not interested in being a free man. He still wants Jessie to stay as his wife. "Thank you, Barrister." Din reached for the file with trembling hands. He was still struggling to accept that his relationship with Jessie had come to an end. "Let her sign it tonight, then send the file back once she has." Din rose to his feet and reached out to shake the attorney's hand. After saying "thank you," he departed for work. Taking the papers out of the envelope, he sat down in his chair. He reached for a pen and hesitated before signing. Jessie doesn't love him. Those words would not leave his mind. Khalid's claim that Jessie had gotten
"Mr. Anderson, thank you for the purse." From her chair, Jessie got up. Taylor had a point. Marco continued to be a jerk. "Jessie, calm down. Why are you rushing to leave?" "Because my husband, Din Cooper, is waiting for me." With her head held high, she spoke. "I have to hurry back home to meet my husband." "But I just got here. Can't we at least have a brief discussion while you have your seat?" "Marco, I have nothing more to say. You have my sincere gratitude for both saving my life and returning my purse to me. Is there a way I can pay you in exchange for your kindness?" While Marco remained silent, Jessie opened her bag and pulled out a large amount of cash. She placed the cash on the table and asked, "Will this do?" Marco turned to face her. She has a sizable fortune to pay back Marco for the cash he has spent on her and her family over the years. Jessie was grateful for what had transpired for her over the previous six months. She was thankful she met Din Cooper. She had
When Jessie noticed that it was already seven o'clock, she jumped out of bed. She put on one of the simplest dresses she could find in her closet and went to take a bath. She needed someone to talk to, and her mother was the only person who came to mind. To get some advice, she would return to her mother's home. She let her hair hang loosely on her shoulders and picked up her bag to leave before Din woke up. Jessie realized she had forgotten something crucial as she approached the door. She went back to her room to pick up the document and reached for a paper. Before completely leaving the house, Jessie wrote a letter to Din and set the envelope on the table. Din found it odd that Jessie wasn't at the dinner table when he awoke. Prior to her departure, he really wanted to enjoy one last breakfast together. He sighted the document that sat on the table and picked it up. When a piece of paper dropped from the envelope, Din bent down to pick it up and noticed Jessie's writing. Before
