James got ready for work when it was seven o'clock in the morning. His sleep duration was only a few hours. He eagerly anticipated seeing the finished photograph. He still needs to go see the higher ups to get the go-ahead for taking on Don Sage's case. As he was leaving, his phone buzzed. It was a member of his staff. "Go on." "Sir. The result is out. I have it with me." "All right. I'm heading to work right now." A sigh of relief escaped his chest as soon as he hung up the phone. He was relieved that the offender would eventually be apprehended and that Jessie would be free to move around without fear of being attacked. When his car came to a stop in the parking lot, he turned off the engine and went inside the station. James motioned for the officer to come over when he saw the one who had earlier called. "Sir. Here it is." An envelope was given to James by the officer. "Inside are the pictures.""Thank you." As he made his way to his front door, James said. As soon as he unlo
It was already 12:30 when Din arrived at the entrance to Williams' bar. Jessie had recently gone to the record label to sing, and he had just dropped her off at home. He had enticed her to kiss him two nights prior, and he felt bad about it because he could see Jessie's expression when he pulled away and lied about the cord. Din got out of his car and entered William's pub. He waved and came over to Williams when he saw his friend in front of the bartender. "I had no idea you would be here," he said. Din received a drink that Williams had just ordered. "You didn't notify me that you were coming, so…" Williams paid close attention to Din as he took a seat. "What? Is there something on my face?" When Din realized the long stare was continuing, he asked. "No. I'm just relieved that everything is over and that you are here. We haven't met in this way recently. How is your wife doing?" "She is coping." Din sighed. Three months ago, if Williams had referred to Jessie as his wife, the
The car came to a stop in front of a sizable house. James spent some time looking around the house while the window was open. The image he was holding was an exact replica of the structure he was staring at. "This building looks familiar." One officer spoke. James gave him a quick look. "Have you seen something like this before?" "Yes, sir." The policeman pulled out his phone and started looking up Megan Lewis. Her information was revealed as a result. She managed a clothing company. a well-known fashion label. "Bingo. We found her.""Who is she?" "Well, she has a daughter and owns a fashion company. Beth is the name of her daughter.""Beth?" When James inquired, the officer nodded. "Beth Lewis." There was only one Beth Lewis, he knew. Now it all makes sense. It was her mother, not Beth, who completed the task. James became enraged at the thought of that. He frowned as he told the driver to turn the car back to the station. He took a seat when he returned to his office. Megan was
It was already Saturday. While watching Din prepare for the wedding, Jessie remained in front of the mirror. She was disappointed that she couldn't go.Sierra had requested Jessie's company on Thursday so she could try on her custom dress at the store. Jessie felt sad as she watched Sierra get dressed. Sierra had picked up on Jessie's actions as well. She had to inquire as to what was bothering her. When the salesgirl helped her zip up her dress, she gave herself a once-over in the mirror and asked, "Did you offend my brother?" She moved from her current position and went over to talk to Jessie. "If you had done that, you should talk it out with him or apologize. I know my brother has been a dick, but I feel like he is punishing you. I would like to know the reason, so I can help you talk to him so he can change his mind. How do I look?" Jessie gave a nod. "You look really pretty in that color. Being the bridesmaid, all eyes will be on you." She couldn't tell Sierra that the reason
Din patiently awaited Sierra outside the church. When she stepped outside, she turned to look behind Din and saw that Jessie would be at the wedding, but covertly. "The program is about to start. Why did you call me out here?" Din sighed. "I worry about you, Sierra. I'm aware that you haven't been speaking to me, and I'd like to know what went wrong." "Can we discuss this later?""Well, the fact that my sister isn't speaking to me bothers me." Sierra scoffed. "Brother, I've been busy. After the wedding is over, we can talk more about this. Come on, now." She didn't want to bring up Jessie in conversation. If she started talking to Din about Jessie, he would be wary.Din followed as she made a U-turn toward the door. Both of them sat down in the middle row. He could not believe that his grandfather would tie the knot for a third time. Even though he is getting older, he still enjoys marrying young women. Din noticed some family members sitting across from them. He gave Sierra a li
"Jessie?" As Din emerged from the bathroom, he was startled to see her and his face was also starting to look fuzzy. "What are you doing here, Jessie?" Jessie swallowed. She was still in awe of what she was seeing. She was facing Din Cooper, who she had been trying to avoid since she had walked into the church. Which made her think of Las Vegas. "This reminds me of something, you know. We've experienced a similar situation before." He sat on the bed. "In Las Vegas. I remember. You were so angry and I was so angry that you thought I was going to be your bride for money. Which reminds me how crazy you sounded that day." She walked up to him. "Din, I am so sorry that I broke the rules and came here. I shouldn't have done that. Now you will tell everyone my secret and…" He didn't let her finish. " I was just joking, Jessie. When have you ever listened to me? I knew you wouldn't listen to me. I know you will always do what you want. You are that stubborn." "But why? Why did you threat
Jessie's hips were above his face now, moving... slightly, oh-so slightly... his face straining towards her.Tighter, her hips lowered into his face, over his chest, and just below his navel. There, at the very center of her femininity, he touched her. Wet. Hot. Ready.She moaned as he stroked her, rocking her hips against his hand.He absolutely had to be inside her. And she was reaching for him. He took her mouth again and below, he touched her some more, seeking the center of her pleasure. He found it. She cried out. He took the sound into himself. "Please." The word passed from her into him. And again. "Please." She reached down between them, found him, wrapped her fingers around him and guided him home.At the last possible second before he buried himself in her, an all_important word appeared in his reeling brain: condom. He jerked his hips back with an excruciating groan. She protested by groaning and made another attempt to yank him close. "Wait. Condom." He was able to inf
"Will her daughter be present?" Jessie gave Din's question a quick glance. "No, Jessie. That's not what I meant. I mean, Abby's child. I think she is seven. And yesterday, I met her. She is a bit sassy, so I'm not sure I want to go to breakfast with her there." Jessie started giggling. A kid frightened Din Cooper. "Grace is a darling. She can be a little sassy, but you'll grow to like her.""You're not getting it, Jessie. This girl is…" "I know." Jessie rolled her eyes. "She told you how lovely you are and how she hopes you will wed her. When she learned that you were Din Cooper, she was astounded as well." Jessie paused. "And then she fled after giving you a peck." She added. Din gasped. "How did you know that happened?" "That girl was once me. I'm familiar with grace. She is a fairytale kind of girl. Prince Charming and a Happy Ending." Once more, she looked at Sierra. "We can't go outside like this. Before we can go to breakfast, we will need to change. Is there any way you can
