Chapter 20
As her mother's words breezed her ears, she just smiled. Truly love can mend a broken heart even if it's broken into a million pieces. Who ever told her that she would find happiness after being broken by the people she loved the most, she slapped the person hard. It was not easy to shut herself from the world and her family but she had to do it in other to heal fast. Now she won't be guarded anymore, she won't feel left out even if she bump into those brats again.
As she kept eating and drowning in thought with smiles on her face but when she remembered something sadness enveloped her. What will become of her if Davis ever find out that she lied to him about her identity? What if her past repeats itself when he found out what she did?
" What happened?" Davis's voice brought her out of her trance.
" Nothing. Just trying figure out why you're suddenly being good to me" Jessica lied which was obvious to Davis but he decides not to go deep into it.
" Because am bringing to feel something that I haven't felt in years" he said and kissed her, licking off the coffee stain on her lips.
The kiss was magical, which made to stop for time some minutes. Jessica closed her enjoying the kiss until he broke with a smile.
" You won't be end of me" he mumbled, smiling foolishly before walking out of the room. Jessica touched her lips feeling it's wetness, she giggled like a teenager in love for the first time. Maybe this was her destiny, to be betrayed by her fiancee for her to find her life partner. A man who has always respected her from the beginning even if she hated him with everything with her but now she found herself in a pool of new emotions.
The thought of them filled her hunger. She packed the leftovers and left the room. She walked into the kitchen and met Davis doing the dishes.
" Hey!! You should have told me and I would have done instead of you" she said, startling him abit.
" No problem at all. I do it when the maids are on break" he smiled, he tried wiping off his sweat with the back of his Palm but applied soap scum on his forehead making him look like a dinosaur. Jessica let a hysterical laugh.
" You look like a huge dinosaur" she laughed to the point of where tears let her eyes.
" You look cute when laugh like that" Davis said.
" Check your face put in the mirror" she laughed again.
" Okay" he rolled his eyes and checked himself out in the mirror of kitchen cabinets. He laughed when he was his expression. He wiped it off before turning towards Jessica.
" You've told me instead of laughing at me like that. If I catch you, I will skin you alive" he threatened running after her with full speed. Jessica took her heels laughing at him even further.
Their warm smile, sincerity and goodness filled the atmosphere. Only If they knew what's about to hit them. Their love and trust for each other is about to be tested, will there love be strong enough to over come the huge obstacle coming there way? Or will fall apart before there love officially began?
★★★UNKNOWN PLACE★★★
The man was sitting in his office, a dingy place with a single desk lamp and a few filing cabinets. There are piles of dusty paperwork and his hat is hanging off a hook on the back of the door. There’s a framed picture on the desk of Jessica in it. As he puffs on his cigarette, the smoke curls up into the air, getting caught in the beams of light that come through the dirty window. Eventually, the room starts to fill with thick smoke, the scent of burning tobacco taking over the space. The air is hazy, making the light from the lamp dim and give the room an eerie, shadowy look. This man - was lost in his thoughts, brooding on the case of Jessica sudden disappearance.
The quiet knock on the door startles him out of his reverie. He blinks, trying to clear his head of the mental fog that had descended upon him, and stands up, dusting the ash from his pants. He takes a deep breath and calls out in a gruff voice,
“Come in" The door opens slowly, revealing one of his men.
" What do you want Scar?" He asked.
Scar who stepped into the office was tall and thin, with a long, scarred face that gave him an almost skeletal appearance. He wore a black suit and a fedora, and as he entered the room, a exuding an aura of menace and malice filled the air. He was known for dangerous adversary. He's of his best men.
" I found Jessica" he said with a deep voice, which was cold scary. Everyone will run away at the sight of him but he won't that's he employed him to his best man.
" Tell me everything you know about her" he ordered.
" She ran away after she found out that Carlos and Veronica betrayed her but got married to some Davis Miller in another town and changed her name from Jessica Winters to Jessica Tyler. And with the look of things, it seems like they are inlove with one another" Scar explained placing a pink file on the table containing the pictures of Davis and Jessica together.
" What did you find about Davis Miller?" He asked with his eyes glued to the Pictures.
" He's the CEO of Mercyland Hotel and also owns an Automobile industry which his identity was kept a secret for some strange reasons I couldn't find. He's a divorcee. His wife left him because he wasn't ready for marriage, so does people think but his wife left him for some rich man. Leaving him to raise their son alone. So he married Jessica to give his son the love of a mother, but it looks like they are becoming found of each other" Scar explained further.
" I want Jessica for myself. Do anything to Jessica here, I don't mind kidnaping her and enslave her just to be my lover" he said.
Scar bowed before walking out. Scar is not like other man, he doesn't have a human heart or feel bad about anything. All he does is to carry out his orders ever if it means endangering his life Scar would do it. He picked up the file and began checking out the pictures one after the other and clenched his fist tightly. Who does Davis think he is to take his woman away from him? He was saw first and he would have get First. He was there when she was growing up but now she seemed to have forgotten about him.
" It's time to remind you who I am darling. Just wait a little longer and we WI be together" he vowed and throw the file into the trashcan. He gently picked up his lighter, he lit it and threw it into the trashcan burning down the file and pictures immediately. The light from shawn at his face for a second before he turned his back facing the darkness. The scar in his face was revealed but his face was still dark. His red shirt and black trousers was shown but his face remained a secret.
