Chapter Thirty-Four
Her mind telling her that Lucas would have informed her if something bad happened but there was no harm in check by herself to make sure everything was good even if she dreaded to hear the news.
Jessica went through the channels on the TV switching from channel to another but nothing.
The news was all about other matters, not a single station talked about the huge scandal that happened few days ago. She pressed her lips before turning off the TV and tossing the remote away. Picking up on her nails again she walked towards the small table fetching a paper but she couldn’t find any.
Lucas must have ordered his man not to leave a single paper around. After over thinking and walking in circles for almost an hour, she gave up and went to the kitchen.
Contemplating some leftovers she decided to wait for Lucas and not dine alone. So she made her way upstairs and tossed her bo
Chapter Thirty-Five“Lucas...”“You know the word doll”“Please…” with a movement he ripped off the lace panties and run his fingers on her wetness“Shit, Jessica you’re so wet!” “Are you ready to take me?”“Yes!”“Do you want me inside you?”“Yes, please!”“Part your thighs for me, let me taste you…” Jessica opened her eyes with a gasp; she perceived the ceiling and mindfully realized that she was dreaming, unlike her blistering body. Her awareness shifted to her dampened panties and she closed her eyes ashamed of having such sinful wet dreams about Lucas“Good morning beautiful&rd
Chapter Thirty-SixThe air around felt heavier than what Jessica’s lungs could handle; witnessing the fight before her eyes. She felt the ground crumble under her feet. She wished for it to crumble so that she would disappear from the surfaceThis must be a nightmare, and she needed someone to pinch her cheek so she could wake up and find herself lying in her bed inside her apartment.But it was impossible, she was aware of it, she was aware that she was caught up in this storm and nothing seemed promising of a happy ending.She couldn’t help but wonder how the hell her life turned upside down in the matter of a week.“Something isn’t right!” Lucas’ voice brought her back from the whirlwind of thoughts she almost lost her sanity to. But she remained muted as no words were to leave her sour throat.“Glad you noticed!” Jack scoffed Lucas spared him a death threaten
Chapter Thirty-SevenIn her distress Jessica followed Lucas and hopped inside the car with him; leaving Jack behind in company of Brant. Luckily they were able to leave the property through the back exit.She had never imagined her life caught up in such tsunami of events. Throughout the ride Lucas tried to reassure her but she slid to the extremity of the vehicle away from him as she refused to talk or look at him. Her gaze was focused to the rearview mirror in attempt to spot anyone who might have followed them. Lucas kept silent and didn’t press the matter further.A lot on his mind he steamed inside his head.His suspicions about Rose weren’t confirmed yet but he was almost sure that someone had paid her off to leave Jack and cause the first scandal. And when he hired Jessica and presented her as Rose he was hoping to get to the bottom of it.But he didn’t have the
Chapter Thirty-Eight Two weeks later… “I can’t believe I’m saying this but Jess you look amazing!” Lilly expressed her excitement while looking at her best friend “Really? You know I wasn’t sure about it at first but..” “No but! I don’t accept any buts! You, Look, Gorgeous, Honey! Look at you!” Lilly articulated each word before pulling Jessica in a hug and squealed. Jessica took a minute before pulling away and looking at her reflection in the mirror hanged on the side wall brushing a hand over her hair coming to hug her neck line in a perfect bob cut. The auburn highlight she had disappeared into bleached silver blond; making her emerald eyes pop. “I had my hair long for years” she said shaking her head feeling the lightness of her new hair “I know right! But girl, let me tell ya; this new haircut is fire!” Jessica giggled and they both laughed It was the fir
Chapter Thirty-NineJessica decided to cut her hair short and dye it a different color because she needed a fresh start and what’s best than to rock a short blond bob cut to get to the next chapter of her life ?A new beginning with Adrian, if she dared to say?After telling her best friend Jessica looked at her hoping she could get her insight and she never failed to give her a memorable input like always“You know how they say ‘the best way to get over a man is to get under another’ right?” Lilly giggled at her own suggestion Jessica rolled her eyes and walked towards the kitchen“I don’t know” she glanced at the window and let out a tired breath“The wall-sized are still down there?” Lilly asked –the wall sized being a reference to Emilio and Brant – Jessica nodde
Chapter Forty“Wow!” Lilly observed when Jessica walked out of the room slightly adjusting her dress“I’m not so sure I can do this Lil” she bit on her lower lip nervously“What? Are you for real right now?”Jessica looked at her all the more nervous“We’ve been through this Jess; the only way to move on is to actually move on “she said stressing the word actually.“What if he doesn’t like my hair… or my dress?”“Don’t ruin my makeup please? “ Lilly let out in a breath Jessica nodded and shook her head.Lilly was kind to help her get her makeup done just so she could relax because from the moment Lilly came home after work, she found her best friend on the verge of crying again so she helped her out to take her mind off her worries“Sorry but if he doesn’t like you
Chapter Forty-One “Mister Grant! What a pleasure to have you here… with someone” a woman at the reception trailed as she eyed Jessica from head to toe her lips slightly pressed in discontent. Jessica felt self conscious but her discomfort soon vanished when Adrian’s hand grazed her back and his gaze fell on her. “Yes, I have a reservation for two” he said unfazed his eyes on Jessica lingered for a while before the woman walked them to their table. Adrian was handsome and he had this charisma around him he wasn’t the man you spot in the middle of the crowd a mile away but if you come across him it’s impossible not to notice his good looks and bright smile that reached his eyes especially when he looked at Jessica Adrian pulled her seat and sat across from her. Jessica put her purse aside taking in the decor of the place The diner was daintily decorated, the off white table cloths and gold
Chapter Forty-TwoAs soon as Jessica stepped inside the building she practically ran up the stairs since the elevator had been out of order for a couple of days. Since she only resided at the third floor opposite from Lilly’s apartment and three stores weren’t much for her to climb so she arrived in a matter of few minutes. As soon as she reached the door to her apartment; Jessica made a beeline to her bed and fell on it, her heart thudding inside her chest and her breath uneven.She stared at the ceiling for a while before closing her eyes and inhaling sharply; Adrian’s fresh and minty scent lingered on his suite jacket that she was still wearing. Jessica’s lips curled into a smile before she lightly bit on her lower lip and covered her head with her hands.Adrian kissed her and oh how she loved his kiss…
