REASONABLE DOUBT.
CHAPTER 16: REASONABLE DOUBT.Jessica drove her car and parked in the parking lot of the complex. She turned off the ignition and sat back in the car for a while. She was exhausted and hungry. It was already nine in the morning, and she desired to satisfy her hunger. But a lot weighed on her mind. She took her phone from her purse and scrolled through it randomly, checking to see if she had any calls from Michael. There was not a single call though, to her disappointment. She sighed as she went deep in her thoughts. But she shoved those thoughts aside. She didn't want to entertain them. She grabbed her purse, got out of the car, and took the elevator up to her penthouse. Alone in the elevator, she spoke to herself. 'I need to know what he was doing there. I can't assume and jump to conclusions. No.'As the elevator dinged open, she hurried out and walked straight to her apartment. As she was about to unlock the door with her fingerprint, she saw the logo of the company that produce
DIFFERENT CONTEXTS.
CHAPTER 15: DIFFERENT CONTEXTS.Gasping, Jessica jerked awake. She was still feeling a bit disoriented as she looked around, gaining some level of cognizance as to where she was. She was still at Samantha's house. They had fallen asleep in the living room, lying on the couch. She heard an alarm system going off. The twins, or one of them had woken up."Hey," Jessica greeted yawning."Good morning," Samantha smiled as she got up. "Sorry you had to wake up in this manner." "Nah. It's no big deal. When they call, we must answer, right?" she replied, smiling. "Oh, we have to. We know what happens when we don't," Samantha chuckled, heading upstairs to check on the kids. Jessica sat on the couch as she watched her friend leave. It made her wonder.'How can she even muster the strength to smile after all that happened some hours ago?'It finally dawned on her that Samantha was really good at hiding her feelings. And she did so for quite a while.Consoling her friend for something she hers
DISCUSSIONS AT THE TABLE.
CHAPTER 14: DISCUSSIONS AT THE TABLE.JACK'S POV.I woke up the next morning refreshed, revitalized, and re-energized. The previous night was one I really needed. Additionally, I was famished. I got up and washed my face in the bathroom before I headed downstairs to the kitchen, just wearing my bathrobe. As I got there, some of the house staff were already working on breakfast. The delectable aroma filled the atmosphere. Noticing my presence, they quickly bowed."Good morning, sir," they greeted."Hello," I replied smiling mildly. Then I went ahead to open the fridge to see what I could find. "Let us help with whatever it is you want sir," one of the staff said, walking toward me. "It's alright. I've got it," I responded and continued. I made myself some oats with milk, topping it with some nuts, banana, almond, and strawberry. Tasting it, I nodded and headed to my room with it. I could help but begin to scoop from it while I walked. I used to make this when I was still married,
A FRIEND IN NEED.
CHAPTER 13: A FRIEND IN NEED.JESSICA'S POV.Still caught up in my dilemma, I stood there confused. "Argh!" I grunted and impulsively walked to the restaurant instead. My friend needed me. I made a mental note to ask Michael later what took him to that hotel. Walking in, I saw that the diners' attention was on the arguing couple."You're supposed to be home with the kids, Malcolm. Yet you're here with her, again?" 'Again?' I asked myself, furrowing my brow. So Sam had been keeping this to herself all along. "Honey, it's not what you think. She's a client. We had to uh- We had to meet to discuss a few things in person. It's nothing more than that," he replied, visibly tensed. Sam scoffed, shaking her in disbelief while he spoke. "Who is this, Malcolm? Why is she interrupting us?" the woman Malcolm was with asked, looking pissed with a frown on her face. Malcolm glared at her, speaking through gritted teeth, "Let me handle this!" "Who the hell is she Malcolm?" she continued. "Ar
AT A FIX.
CHAPTER 12: AT A FIX.JESSICA'S POV. Stretching as I yawned exhaustedly, I found out it was already past ten at night. And Michael wasn't back home yet. Samantha was still around though. How fortunate for me. I really needed her around more than I cared to admit. "Hey. Don't you think you should be heading home? It's quite late," I said. "It's okay. I already spoke with my husband about it, and I asked the babysitter to watch the twins. I already paid her for the extra hours, so I can stay for as long as I want," Samantha replied. "And what about Julie and Sallie? I'm sure they're missing their mom.""Well, someone else needs my attention. They've had me all day," she replied, making me chuckle softly."I'm truly grateful that you're here. It really means a lot.""What are friends for?" Samantha responded, smiling as she took hold of my hand and patted it. "Remember how we used to pull all-nighters back in college?" Samantha asked. "And what we did mostly was binge on rom-coms r
THE DISTRACTION I THOUGHT I NEEDED.
CHAPTER 11: THE DISTRACTION I THOUGHT I NEEDED.JACK'S POV.The maid got down on her knees as she picked up the plates that had fallen, clattering upon impact with the floor. I was stunned to see that part of her left boob had slid out of her maid's uniform. I gulped as I glanced at it. Why the heck was I not looking away? Was it because it was perky and firm? Was it because I hadn't had sex in a really long while? I froze, staring at the maid's boob. 'But wait a minute. Why were they out in the first place? Her uniform is supposed to be buttoned to the collar.' This thought helped snap me out of my momentary daze as I looked away, clearing my throat. But I had observed a mild smile creep up her face briefly."Oh my! I'm so sorry, sir. I was so clumsy," she said as she picked up the broken pieces. "It's alright," I replied, lacking the boldness to look in her direction. "Please, let me go get something to clean up this mess I've made," she said as she quickly headed out of my room
