"I'm shocked you're staying for dinner." Sierra shook her head, her gaze falling on Kelvin, who was occupied with his phone. "James and brother both left earlier, so I don't think you must stay." She stated her case."Don't worry, Sierra; I'll steer clear of you." His hands were still sliding along the length of his phone, and his gaze was locked on it."I think I know why you've come here, Kelvin. Don't get cheesy with me because I know the actual reason. I'm sure you're up to something new.""Cuz, I'm not sure what you're talking about."Sierra yelled, "Jessie!""How about her?""She is the reason you are here. You are the most stubborn after Henry and you don't do what granddad tells you to do so my theory is right. I observed you have a crush on her that day. I also took images of you."Kelvin instantly put down the phone and turned his attention to Sierra. He inquired, "What photo?"Sierra pulled out her phone and showed it to him. After she zoomed in and Jessie was reflected in
"Mrs. Cooper." Din called. After his eyes left Bev, his gaze returned to Jessie. "Are you aware of how much I hate you?" He nodded and laughed a little before returning to a serious expression with a frown. "You're putting in a lot of effort, which is exhausting," he said, pointing to the food on the table. "You're trying so hard to win my favor, but it'll never work.""All right, that's enough." Bev stepped over to Jessie and said. "Is that the reason you've come to this house? To be treated like this by this man?" She made a gesture at Din. "If you're not happy, Jessie, let's get out of here. Marco has already been cruel to you. You can't put up with this because of mom and me." She grasped Jessie's hand in hers, but Jessie snatched it back and went away, crying.Din felt awful because of what he said. Sierra sat back down in the chair. She raised her eyes to his. "Are you content now?" She asked. "You've made her cry.""Which side do you think you should be on? You don't even know
Both of them shook their heads as Jessie smiled. They were puzzled as to what was going on. Din and Jessie seemed to be getting along, which was unusual for them. Bev had assumed Jessie had put a potion or something on him to make him nicer because they had fought just the night before. He had insulted her, and now they were behaving as if they were friends?"How was your night, Jessie?" Bev had asked. Her mouth popped with a strange question she had never asked her sister before. They were both close, but not to that extreme. Bev was the type of person who didn't express emotion or care. When she gets butterflies or hugs, she hates them."My night?" Jessie asked, smiling as she exhaled. Her gaze met Din's and she said, "Splendid." After she had served Din, she handed the food to Sierra."Is it something good? You appear to be in good spirits." Sierra had asked, and Jessie had nodded.She lied, saying, "I just had a really lovely dream and I have a feeling today will be a terrific day
"That is why," He pointed to the book on the table. "It is against our policy for couples to use two different rooms— Come on!" He yelled. "You both are here for your honeymoon so enjoy it. Make babies." He teased them."Can he talk to people in that manner?" Din whispered to Jessie and Jessie gave him a face not to fight.The man brought his hand towards Din and handed him a wristband to their room. "There," He said.The Resort keeper pointing a bony finger to a set of steps in the corner of the room. "The first floor on the left. There's no keys, so you'll have to deal with that." He referred to the wristband after seeing the confusion on their faces.They walked up the staircase and emerged into a large corridor, with a set of doors on each side. Din placed the band where it was supposed to be and opened the door. The room was beautiful and painted in white, with a king sized bed laid carefully in the middle and also a convertible sofa bed was on the side.Din face fell. "I can't b
Jessie stepped up to him, placing her foot on the ground. As he lay there shaking, he was drenched in sweat and muttering in an unintelligible speech.She tried to wake him up, but he became loud. He was crying for help, and she noticed he was having a nightmare.Was it about his parents, or something else entirely? She had assumed this because she knew it was his only childhood trauma.She sat next to him and tried to comfort him by cradling him in her arms. Din's eyes sprung open, he was drenched in cold sweat, shivering, and his heart was racing. Suspicious and worried that the terror had followed him here, he looked about the room. He shivers as he rises, rubs his head and eyes, and tries to completely awaken then he notices Jessie next to him.He frowned and pushed her away from him before stumbling to the bathroom and carefully gazing in the mirror. He couldn't believe she had witnessed his ordeal. That wasn't what he wanted. He didn't want Jessie to see him in this state of ter
"So now he's approved of both of you and wants you to marry each other?" Jessie asked."Yes, and I'd appreciate it if both of you could attend my wedding." She gave a friendly smile to Din, who looked Jessie in the eyes.He got a nod from Jessie. At the very least, Kim would stop bringing up the topic.Kim and Din continued to talk after breakfast, while Jessie sat quietly and listened to their past. "Do you mind if I borrow your wife for a few hours?" She inquired as she rose from her seat. She looked down at her wristwatch to see what time it was. "It is time, Jessie." Her gaze fell on Jessie as she spoke."You certainly can," Din remarked. He also requires his own alone time, and Jessie's departure would encourage him to get more rest and return to work."Come on, Jessie." Kim took her hand. "Your husband has released you to me." She grinned at Din. "Don't miss your wife too much.""I will try not to." He smiled at Jessie. "Be safe and call me if you need anything." He watched Jess
It's too late! He'd overheard her. Why had she screamed in the first place? She had squandered precious seconds and attracted unfavorable energies to herself."Well, well," a confident voice droned.His posture exuded strength. His big shoulders were raised to the sky. He loomed ominously in Jessie's face, his Doc Martens legs astride."Who are you?" She cried. " Why have you brought me here?" She inquired.There was no response."I'm talking to you!" Jessie said angrily, raising her arms. His arm swung like steel and collided with hers in an instant. He grabbed both of her hands and lifted her up, her eyes bulging with fear. Her feet were dangling in mid-air."Don't irritate me, Lady. People who make me angry irritate me." He tossed her to the ground like a sack. As her damaged knee crashed to the concrete floor, Jessie winced, a white light of pain flashed across her face. He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her behind him, her hair stiff in his vice grip, like a hunter dragging
The man did everything he could to escape Jessie's eyes. He would lose a significant sum of money if he freed her. In that case, how would he feed? He wasn't taught to be kind. "If you're kind, you'll get killed." When he was taken in by the guy who had turned him into the person he was today, those were the first rules he had learned.His family was murdered because they were unable to repay the loan they had obtained in a timely manner. He had wandered aimlessly along the street and was discovered by the most vicious man who had raised him. He'd put him through his paces and turned him into a serial killer. He had no alternative but to exact revenge on the man who had killed his family, even if he didn't want to. He'd been taught to do precisely that. To kill so that he could survive, and so the lady he was with would have to die as well, as he was informed."Bring it in," As he turned to peer across the open door, his deep voice called out to someone. Jessie had assumed she would b
