CHAPTER 58
THE GOOD NEWS
Jessica had promised herself that she was not going to let go of Vincent so soon, yes! not without a fight and after she had failed to get back into Vincent’s life through his mother’s plan, she was going to do things her way.
She was determined to make use of any scheme possible as long as she ended up with Vincent, she had thought hard about her new plan and had made up her mind to execute it.
“Why do you look so pale?” Mrs storm questioned as she watched Jessica walked into her office sluggishly.
She was surprised by this action because Jessica was always a lively person and everyone knew her for her magneficent entrance that always seem to cause a stir.
“I am tired Aunty!” Jessica declared as she slumped into one of the chairs that was in the office, “Tired, are you okay?” Mrs storm questioned her expression filled with curiosity and worries.
“I am not okay!”Jessica replied abruptly as she started to shed hot tears, leaving Mrs storm in a moment of disarray.
“What is wrong?” Mrs storm inquired as she got up from her seat and walked closed to where Jessica was sitting and tried to console her.
“What have I done to myself!” Jessica lamented as she continued in her pretentious sobs,”I do not think i want to do this anymore!” she lamented again.
She was going to play the victim instead of trying to fight her way into Vincent’s life, that was he new plan and the best way to accomplish it was to let his mother do the fight.
“What have I done to Vincent to be treated this way?” She continued crying uncontrollably, it was not a surprise that by this time she had the full attention of Mrs storm on her after we all know she was good at acting.
“Please tell me what is wrong Jessica.” Mrs storm pleaded, she was already attached to Jessica and was not happy to see her in this state, she had thought that she would be bringing her good news after their last plan.
She had taught Jessica how to prepare Vincent favorite dish and even given her the new passcode to the house and now she was dumbfounded Jessica’s sudden outburst.
“I am pregnant for Vincent!” Jessica announced her tears flowing down like stream, “Oh my God!” Mrs Storm exclaimed excitedly as she gave Jessica a big hug.
“This is good news!” Vincent’s mother continued as she walked happily to seat and asked her secretary to bring in her favorite wine.
“But why are you not happy?” Mrs storm questioned turning back to Jessica, who was still gloomy, seeing how Vincent’s mother was happy with the news Jessica was now even more sure about the positvity of her plan.
“Vincent!” Jessica asserted as she carefully began to lay down her plan, “Why?” Mrs Storm inquired, trying to know what she meant.
“Vincent was not happy about my pregnancy,” Jessica complained as she waited for Mrs storm’s reply, her every move depended on her voice and reaction.
“What! How can he do that?” Mrs Storm questioned angrily but Jessica decided to add to the list, “He said he is not responsible for it but he knows otherwise!” MeJessica asserted.
“I do not want you to worry about anything else, I know my son would come around.” Mrs storm assured Jessica but she wanted more, she wanted not just words but actions and she wanted them as soon as possible.
“But Vincent has boldly said I should not come near him anymore and I do not think that he would come around not while he is thinking solely about Isabella!” Jessica noted.
“Vincent knows better than to leave you to cater for that good for nothing girl who has brought nothing but chaos to his father’s name!” Mrs Storm declared.
“I hope you are right mother but from his reaction to the news of my pregnancy, I could see clearly that he wanted no part in it.” Jessica acknowledged.
“Really?” Mrs Storm asked as she looked at Jessica with pity, she could see from her expression that Jessica was actually not happy with the whole pregnancy situation and she understood why, but she was going to make sure that changed.
After all she has always wanted Jessica for a daughter in law instead of that Isabella girl and being pregnant for Vincent was just the perfect news for her.
“I am very sure Vincent was just anxious about the news that was why he did that but you do not have to think too much about it, I know he would be calm by now.” Mrs storm assured Jessica.
But Jessica was still not satisfied with Vincent mother’s reply, she should know better that her son was a very stubborn and rigid person and would not be easily swayed.
“I do not think so, I know for a fact that Vincent is still dogmatic about his reaction to me being pregnant and that is why i am worried!” Jessica declared.
“You do not need to be,” Mrs storm replied as she tried to assure Jessica but she could see that it was not working, she knew everything that Jessica had said may be true because even when she had instructed her son to leave Isabela he had blatantly refused.
“Ok fine, just so you would be at peace i want you to give Vincent a call right now, i am sure you would see that he is calm by now.” Mrs Storm declared.
And immediately Jessica brought out her phone and dialed Vincent’s number repeatedly but he refused to pickup, even while it rang multiple times.
“I told you Vincent was rigid, this is how he treats me now, i am sure he just do not want to talk to me.” Jessica noted.
“You do not have to worry, as long as you are truly pregnant for Vincent he would not have a choice than to come back to you, he is in our trap already, so be rest assured.” Mrs Storm noted.
“But Isabella is also pregnant for Vincent!” Jessica acknowledged, “You do not need to worry about her, you know she is of no importance to our family.” Mrs Storm confirmed.
“I know what the do about Vincent!”She declared as the secretary walked in with her wine, “Yes this good news!” She proclaimed.
