"I gave you the advice to buy your property at the same time I was buying mine but you decided against it because you are proud and narcissistic," Jessica said. She rarely loses her cool but when she did she always found it hard to control herself. How dare he demand money from her when she had the true right and ownership of the building? She was glad she was yet to put the building in his name. She has said she would do so after the wedding but he had shamelessly left her at the altar and cheated on her with her friend. "I can't believe you are so selfish. You are living in a mansion and you can't leave an ordinary two-bedroom apartment for me?" Burke asked. Jessica had not noticed until this moment how narcissistic he was. And to think he was also trying to gaslight her into giving him the building. Jessica opened her mouth to speak before the phone was yanked from her hand. She turned startled because she thought she was alone in the room. It was Xavier there who collected t

Emma walked into the room. She had gone for a medical check-up. She was shocked that she had gotten pregnant within the space of a month. She had been using protection but it seemed ineffective."Burke, have you gotten the money for the venue?" Emma said putting her bag down on the bed. Emma had told Burke that he had to marry her or she would get rid of the baby. Burke felt subjected to making Emma feel comfortable and good about herself. When they both learned of Jessica's marriage to the billionaire Burke promised to work hard and give Emma her dream wedding. Emma told Burke that there was no way that she would have a baby without getting married. He was to propose and then plan a wedding that would cost millions. "Baby I told you that if we do not pay for the venue this week then we have to be put on a waitlist for two months," Emma said going to hold his shoulders. She had chosen the ballroom of the Braxton Hotel. The hotel was the best one and it belonged to the Delgado fami

Xavier lifted his eyes to see Jessica staring hard at him. He felt his face flush with embarrassment. How could she be openly staring at him like that? "Can I give you a call after dinner?" Xavier said his voice firm and enticing. Jessica could not make out the words he said but she knew they drew her in. She looked at his well-chiseled body while hearing that voice did something funny to her tummy. Something she could not explain well. "You give quite a stare," Xavier said walking towards her. Jessica only snapped out of the trance when she noticed his body was moving and it was moving towards her. She uncomfortably shifted her gaze and her eyes wandered the room. "Errm, I came to call you for dinner," she said in a loud tone which made him stop in his tracks. He looked at her long as she gulped hardly and used her hands as a fan to fight back the beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "Be down soon" she said and turned back to go to Dawson's room without giving him a chance

"I already did what you asked me to do. You asked for a wide and I gave one to you. I would do nothing further" Xavier said. How could his grandfather suggest such a thing? Anger built in his mind towards Jessica and Genevieve. While Genevieve was the one who started the conversation, Jessica was quietly eating her meal. Was she also of the opinion that they should have a child? "Jessica, do you agree with what he said?" Dawson asked angrily. Jessica wished they would spare her from having to be a part of the conversation. What did they want her to say? Did she accept his terms? Yes, she did. Was she supposed to force him to give her a child? She was sure he was silently marking down his calendar preparing for the day their divorce would be finalized and he can live a free man. "If you both refuse to try for a child then I would leave the Braxton Industries to a management specialist and kick you both out of the house," Dawson said aggressively banging his hand to the table befor

Jessica successfully convinced the male staff to leave which he did. She sat on the longest couch in the living room. She switched on the television and switched off the sound. She watched the pictures move and tears fell from her eyes. How did it come to this? Why was she treated so badly? How did it become so bad for her? Was she too nice? Was she too open to accept anyone? All these thoughts flooded her mind as the tears fell rapidly. She has been embarrassed and gaslighted by her ex and her husband by the law did not in a single way respect her. Was she a bad guy in her previous life? She laid down and fell her nose clog up. She started breathing with her mouth and did not know when sleep overwhelmed her. Meanwhile, Xavier was still stunned that Jessica had the guts to also him and then storm out. Was he wrong? Did she not plan it? Seeing how she reacted it was most likely she was unaware of it. Did he successfully offend her? Was he a human or just a robot designed to offend
