The next morning, Jessie awoke quite early. She was already back to her old self and able to function normally. Her illness had already passed. When she was finished cleaning herself up, she went to the kitchen and cleaned all the dishes. She made sure she had breakfast ready before seven o'clock.Din awoke at that hour and prepared for work. He was used to seeing Beth on his bed every Monday morning when he woke up, but he didn't see her this time. He had stopped calling her since she had refused to pick up his call the last time, and he had decided to give her some space.He got out of the restroom and dried off before putting on his shirt and pants. He went with blue for his shirt and pants and suit, light blue for the top and navy blue for the pants and suit. Before leaving the room, he fixed his tie and checked himself out in the mirror again.He was the type of man who doesn't eat breakfast before going to work, and the maids in the house were well aware of this, so they didn't
Sierra had called the head maids after breakfast and asked them to return home before she went to see Abby. Bev had gone out to meet up with her friends at a neighboring coffee shop along the estate, while Jessie returned to her Telemundo. Sierra had denied Jessie's request to accompany her to the clothing store to get a dress for Abby. She checked the clock while pausing the movie she was watching. She exclaimed, realizing she had lost track of time while watching a marathon of episodes. She had no idea if Sierra had finished shopping for Abby's outfit or if Bev was still having fun at her friend's house. Jessie went to get some clothes from her closet. She might erupt if she remains in this house much longer. Her mind and body might disintegrate. She'd been staring at the screen for hours, and Taylor had always warned her about the dangers of staring at a screen for hours without going for a walk or doing any exercise, both of which she had missed that morning due to Din Cooper's
Jessie coughed and pointed to the door. "It could be Sierra or Bev," she laughed nervously. "I'll go get it." She returned to the door and pushed it open. A woman with blond hair stood in front of the door, her gaze falling on Jessie. She was slim and stunning, but Jessie had never seen her before. Din's friend, most likely even though she was too pretty to be one.Immediately, Jessie has a negative impression of her."You must be Jessie," she said softly with a dangerous smile on her face."You know who I am?" Jessie inquired of the woman, who nodded. "I've come to see Din Cooper. Is he back from his work?" Jessie opened the door wide enough for Din to see who it was from where he was sitting after the lady asked. Din quickly stood up as she looked across at him. As he approached the door, Jessie exited and went to her room. "Beth?" Din called the lady's name. He was surprised to see her. After ignoring his calls for days, she suddenly showed up. Jessie could hear him. He wasn
Jessie reconsidered her previous decision. 'For her mum and sister alone.' She spoke quietly. She'd be free of this pain in a matter of months. Her hands moved slowly to her lips as she felt them. Din Cooper's kiss was all she could think about and was all she could feel and she doesn't think she'll be able to forget it for the rest of her time in the mansion."I advise that you stay the night." As she led Din into the house, Beth linked her hand through his. He'd remained at the doorway, motioning her to enter earlier, but she'd hesitated until the rain began to fall."This is unbelievable." Din walked into the house. "There was no indication from the weather that it might rain tonight." "I'll prepare you a cup of hot tea. Make yourself at ease." After taking off her heels and slipping into her slippers, Beth dashed into the kitchen. Din had gone into the house before, but this time something felt different. When he checked the time on his watch, he was feeling worried. Something
The voice suddenly came back to her and instructed her to leave the room, and she realized she shouldn't have been there in the first place. What if she was discovered? What would she say she came to Din Cooper's room for, or what if Din Cooper himself met her there? What would she say to him to justify herself? Jessie immediately placed the album in the cabinet and exited the room very fast, but she also didn't notice the framed portrait had dropped to the floor and broken.Jessie was panicking on her bed at 6:11 a.m. when she heard the door open. Her blanket was slung over her head, and she prayed while clutching it closely. Din wouldn't notice anyone in his room while he was gone, she hoped. She had set up and left his room just as she had seen it. She hasn't gotten much sleep since she awoke at five a.m. to get some water and also entered Din's room. Din had entered the house discreetly, closing the door behind him. He doesn't want to wake anyone up with his presence. He'd been
Sierra lowered her shoulders after lifting them. "Jessie, it's obvious." As she walked away, she said, "I think you did something wrong."Jessie breathed deeply. If he did discover she was in his room, why wouldn't he scold her? Din Cooper always constantly came up with new ways to torture her, but this time was different. He has to be up to something new.After her talk with Sierra that morning, Jessie's phone rang the moment she walked into her room. When she checked to see whether she could pick it up, it was an unknown number. She paused before answering the phone, and when she did, she heard an old, sluggish voice speak. She recognized it and was perplexed as to why Din's granddad had contacted her. He'd expressed an interest in seeing her and asked if she could see him in his mansion right away to spend some time with him.Jessie sniffed as soon as she set the phone down on the table. She had agreed to pay him a visit when she finished her chores. Bev wouldn't find it difficult
She shook her head. No way, she's not going to let that happen. She needs to be selfish and also think about her family. "Granddad, I don't believe that's a smart idea. He's only recently married, so entrusting him with such a large responsibility isn't the best option." she said immediately.He smiled and nodded. With what she was saying, she was making sense. "What do you think we should do?" His attention was fixed on her. Waiting for her to speak. "How about arranging for both of us to go on a honeymoon?"When she proposed, Jessie's side lips curled. She'd be confident that he'd agree with her. "Honey moon?" Din's grandfather inquired. Jessie smiled and nodded. "You mentioned that he needs a vacation and that you wanted him to be happy again. right?" He gave a slow nod. "But how can we compel him to leave? And, in your opinion, where is the best place to go?" Jessie came to a halt in her chair "Granddad, you can leave that to me. I'll get back to you as soon as I have more in
Din sniffed once more. "I know this seems insane, but what if I told you that I've been losing my mind since the day I had her kiss me?""What?""Since Jessie arrived at the mansion, a lot has transpired, and I was furious with her for disrespecting me, so I retaliated with a kiss. I was sure it was the only thing that would irritate her.""Then you did it,""Then I did it and It felt great annoying her." Din's phone buzzed that minute and he picked it up to check who had texted him. He grimaced as he quickly tossed it down.Will was able to tell who it was from. "Your grandfather?" He asked.Din frowned and nodded. "He wants to meet up with me and Jessie,"***Around 10:30 p.m., Jessie received a call from Din. She had waited for him to return home and had slept off on the long couch. She took up the phone and answered it with her tired voice, but she wasn't expecting to hear the voice of someone else. Williams had introduced himself and informed her that he had Din with him and the
