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
When she was finished, Jessie went over to Din's bed. And when she leaned in to look at him, he was still sleeping and already sweaty. She returned to him after increasing the Air conditioner. She sat down next to him to take his temperature once more. She no longer hates him, and all she could see was a wealthy guy in pain, alone and without support or affection. The more she looked at him, the more he appeared to be alone.She removed the blanket off his body because of the heat it was causing him, and as she was about to get out of bed, she was pulled back. Din had her in his arms now, and Jessie was struggling to get free. He had pinned her down with too much force."Din." She called. Still struggling. "Mr. Cooper?" He grumbled as he turned to the other side after she called again. She breathed a sigh of relief as she let go of his hold. How much alcohol did he consume that he was oblivious to the fact that someone was beneath him?"Jessie," he moaned as he called her name, startl
"Are you certain you have no recollection of what happened last night?" She inquired. Her eyes were wide as she awaited the response."Is there anything I should remember?" He let out his narrowed face and walked up to the door to open it.Jessie trailed him. "Mr. Cooper, no, no. I'm just curious."Din sucked his bottom teeth and turned to face her. "Now that I think about it, I believe I recall something.""You do? What exactly is it?""I had the impression that you did something to me while I was sleeping..." He bent and sought to align his features with hers. Jessie's heart began to rush, and Din began to laugh, leaving Jessie perplexed. He smirked as he lifted his head. "You should've seen your expression. This was how your eyes looked." He laughed again after demonstrating how her eyes were. "Someone would have thought you'd done something, Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure Will was the one who drove me home."Jessie gave a slow nod. "He was the one,""Just make sure you're ready for to
"When we talked yesterday night after he took Din home, he seemed like a decent guy." Jessie said.Taylor got up from the couch and stood in front of Jessie, who was looking up at her. "I've said enough about myself. I'd like to hear your story.""It's not a big deal. It was just that I was thinking about where I wanted to travel on my honeymoon with Din then something came to mind.""Honeymoon? What am I missing out on?""His grandfather had made up his mind to retire from the business.""I think that's a wonderful thing. "You are finally going to be rid of him" Taylor was able to see Jessie's reaction once she finished speaking. "Or don't you want to?""It isn't that simple."Taylor moved back in her seat. "Please don't tell me you've already fallen in love with him. Keep in mind that this is a business thing, and he is in love with another woman.""Nonsense. I'm not in love with him." She wasn't, of course; she merely feels sympathy for him, not love."Then why are you taking so lo
Beth leaped to her feet. She was dissatisfied with everything. How much longer must she wait? How much longer must she keep up with Jessie? Or his grandfather to finally get her own happy ending? "Can't you see what he's doing to you?" When she yelled, Din looked up at her. "He's playing games with you because he hates me.""That isn't true." Din was adamant that Beth was not the reason his grandfather was going too far with everything."He wants you to fall in love with her on your honeymoon. And that is his plan, babe, and that woman? Jessie! I'm very convinced she set it all up so she could have you."Din rose to his feet and took Beth's hands in his. "My love, it's all in your head." He spoke to her calmly. "Grandfather won't stoop that low.""And how did you know that? He has used you in the past to get you to do a lot of things, so you won't be with me. Do you recall your blind date with Mandy? Camilla? Gloria? I'm not even going to disclose names because it's just too much. He
"But..." Bev pondered for a bit. "That makes a lot of sense." She finally agreed. "So I'm the odd one , and Jessie isn't?" She scoffed. "I'll just have to refer to her as weird.""And why is that?""Because she is a weirdo. She is unpredictable, and no one knew about her and Marco's breakup. So, certainly, she's a weirdo."Sierra locked her focus on Bev. "Perhaps she doesn't want to tell anyone about it. That doesn't make her a freak.""I'm going to the pouch," Jessie said as she left the room. "I'm in desperate need of some fresh air.""Do you see what I mean? Weirdo." She looked at Sierra."But, if you join us, it will be a lot of fun." Sierra shook her head and tossed the pad to the couch."If you don't concentrate, you will die." Bev screamed as she focused back on the game."I need some fresh air, and I'm not interested in your games.""All right, Jessie. Do what you want." Sierra then returned her attention to her game.Jessie walked away from them, hugging her huge sweater over
