Everyone was in a frenzy! It was the day of the wedding and Jessica's dress wasn't delivered yet. They didn't know if it was going to fit.Angela kept making calls and calls. She was in charge of the preparation. She was the one who chose the venue and the event planner.Jessica's mother had been around her as well. Edwin's mother was also around but she was a little wary around Jessica. They had apologized and Jessica had forgiven them but they still didn't know how to get along fully with her. Abby was even closer to Jessica during the period of the wedding. Seeing all the clothes that had been brought into the house, she totally assumed she and her mother were going to play a massive dress up game that involved Angela and her grand mums.By the eve of the wedding, the dress finally came. Jessica tested it and it was perfect."This is the only reason I'm giving a three star rating to your company!" Angela deadpanned. The tailors were very apologetic. No one knew that Edwin had call
On a couch in an extravagant living room, a girl with flowing golden hair covered her face with a thick book and a laptop on her lap. Her slender yet well-manicured fingers were moving in an irregular pattern. She was busy typing furiously, all her attention on the screen before her. Her whole body oozes elegance and style for a nineteen-year-old girl.Her neck was covered in a thin rudded diamond necklace. Her wrist was holding a simple yet attractive watch and those luscious lips were squeezed into a pout as her focus was on what she was doing.Tapping away on the laptop, she looked like a serious student studying for her upcoming exams but the reality was different."Damn it! Why can't I get past their walls? This is so damn frustrating! Haa! Just a little more, Jessy! You hate to lose!" The girl murmured to herself in determination. A glance at her will draw you straight to those emerald green eyes that looked piercing yet strikingly alluring and those brows were so thick that i
Jessica stared at the person beside her father. Wasn't that Uncle Lincoln, the head of her father's laboratory company? Why was he with her father?She looked at her father and it looked like he was a little pale. Was something wrong? And why would this man come to their house? She remembered her father having a heated argument with him some months back. "Jessy, won't you say hi to your uncle?" Mr Graves said to his stupefied daughter."Hi, Uncle Lincoln!" Jessica said, dryly. There was something odd about this man that Jessica doesn't like but his father seems to trust him so much."Jessy, you are growing into a fine woman. How are your studies? I heard from your father you would be graduating soon. Good luck! " Uncle Lincoln said, smiling.Jessica simply forced a smile out before continuing what she was doing. Her mind was feeling uneasy but she can't tell what it is.As she was in deep thought, her father returned from escorting Uncle Lincoln out. She adjusted her mood and smiled
Groaning loudly yet sleepily, Jessy tried to switch off the alarm ringing continuously for some time now."I just want to sleep a little! Let me sleep, Mr alarm! Why can't you just cooperate with me this once?" She murmured, covering her ears with her pillow.She wants to sleep more! Last night she stayed up late trying to break the walls of the bank and after trying relentlessly for five hours, she finally did it at exactly 11:55. The crash lasted till exactly midnight. There was a light tap on her door. She knew who it was but she was just too sleepy to care."Miss, your bath is ready. You have less than an hour to get to college" A cheerful voice said."Yeah. But Aunty Maya, I just need five minutes to get there. Why can't I just use the helicopter? Dad isn't going on any business trip out of town" Jessica said, covering herself with a thick blanket." Just twenty minutes to sleep and I will be in school in less than five minutes""Miss, your father left early this morning and the
Two Years Later"I need an iced coffee!""Jessy, table two needs two iced coffees and an Americano""Two lattes and an Americano for table four"Jessica's head was filled with different orders. She wondered why her second hadn't signed in yet. She was supposed to drop an application at a company that was recruiting workers in an hour. She had to leave early to arrive on time.Jessica tried her best to satisfy every customer so she won't be scolded by her grumpy boss. That man would bring down the roof on her if any of the customers complained. He was too stingy to hire more workers even when he knew they required more hands. Jessica had taken up several jobs so far and now she was working at a coffee shop just down the street. She prefers working there because there is no need for transportation. After all, it was just down the street. During lunch, she could simply skip over to the house to have her lunch. All in a bid to save money. The twin's education had to be taken care of in
The man's hazel eyes followed the beauty till she was out of sight. Gosh, she was so beautiful and… arrogant. How dare she call him a pervert? His eyes flashed in anger but he quickly kept it in check.She was lucky he was with another woman and he needed to clarify things with Janet or else he would have shown her the meaning of someone who is a pervert!Edwin Turner barely tore his gaze away from the gorgeous figure. He walked briskly to the end of the cafe and sat down, brooding."Edwin, is something wrong? Did that girl say something to you? I will teach her a lesson if she dares" Janet said, drawing close to Edwin. Her boobs were almost touching his chest and it seemed she didn't hear what that feisty girl just said to him."Teach her a lesson? As what…My wife? My girlfriend? My lover? Because the last time I checked we were done" Edwin told her, smiling.His face lit up the cafe with his smile and Janet couldn't help drooling all over him. She grabbed his hands and frantically h
The sight of that man sets a warning alarm in Jessica's head. She needed to get away from him as soon as she could. Turning around, she ran in short strides. Barely three strides away, she felt a hit on her head."Ouch!" Jessica muffled her hurtful groan as she bumped into someone. The files in her hands were scattered all over. She looked up to see a well-dressed young lady holding her head.Jessica immediately forgot about her pain and began to apologize, after all, she was the one that bumped into her."I am very sorry, ma. I didn't watch where I was going""It's not entirely your fault. I wasn't looking too as I was in a hurry. I am partly to blame, ``the young lady said, smiling. She looked down and saw her documents in the file scattered all over the floor.Jessica also caught a glimpse of the documents and she immediately squatted down to arrange them. The girl also helped her arrange them."You have lots of application letters in your file. Sorry, but I couldn't help myself" S
"I am sorry, Kendra. I…""Just get back to work but you owe me an hour from my work time!""Deal, Kendra. And thanks so much"Jessica didn't mind working an extra one or more hours as long as she got her pay today. She can't afford to lose her money. There was so much she need to do by tomorrow.As soon as her second left, she became busy serving the people in the bar. She had to make up for just five minutes that she was late. She was happy her second covered up for her before the manager came.It was almost her closing time and she was glad her paycheck would be handed to her in a few minutes."Jessy, manager Riel wants you to serve some guests in the private ward upstairs," One of the waitresses said."Alright, Kendra. Do you have their orders or do I get them?" Jessica asked."No, they are regulars. Just meet the bar boy or meet Kevin, tell them room 14 and he will give you their orders" Kendra replied, walking away." And remember to put on your facemask. You have been sneezing fo
