Jessica’s POV
I was sleeping so peacefully till I heard stealthily footsteps, I was alarmed, the maids and cooks weren’t around, so it’s safe to say am the only one at home, I wondered if it was Xavier but I know he would have come to the room first and he wouldn’t be walking about sneakily like that, I slowly crept out from the bed and took the metal rod, (don’t ask me why it’s there because it’s obvious I don’t know )
I went closer to the door, switched off the light and listened, I was right someone is inside the house, he passed my room and headed to Xavier’s study, once the door opened and he entered I called 911 and was asking quiet as possible, I opened my door quietly holding the rod firmly in my hand and luckily the study door was open, I saw the guy, he was wearing a black hoodie with a small torchlight in his hand, he was trying to open Xavier’s safe, I sneak up behind him, raised the rod and let it fall on his body, he groaned and swing his hand and hit my thighs, I fell down, he rushed at me and raised his hands to punch me, I hit his jewels,
“Owhh, y… y .. you fucking bi…”
I didn’t give him the time to finish, I hit him again,
“You are the son of a bitch”
He groaned and screamed , I walked away turning my back on him which by the way was a terrible mistake, he jumped on me, pulling me down with his body weight, gosh, was is he made of, he straddled me and started strangling me with the intent to kill,
“Die you fucking bitch, how dare you hit, die, just die….”
The siren started barring and the door was pushed open, seizing his momentary distraction I hit him in the head as hard as I could, he fall just as the police was coming in, I immediately inhaled oxygen as much as I can, my eyes watered and I started seeing black, my throat was hurting like hell,
“Ma’am, are you okay, ma’am?, someone called the ambulance, she is losing consciousness ”
That was the last thing I heard before I let myself go.
XAVIER’S POV (few hours before that time)
I finished my work and sent the files to my secretary and arched my back, I looked at my grandfather as he sleeps, the doctors has already checked and given him drugs before he slept off, I looked at the time and it was 10:30 pm, I decided to go home and apologize to Jessica when my phone rang,
“Hello, Mr Xavier, it’s me Henry from the police department ”
“Oh Henry longest time”
“This is time for pleasantries, a distress call was made from your house, we are going there now”
“What? A distress call?”
“Yes, is your wife there with you, I think the call was from a female voice ”
“Shit, she is the only one at home now, am coming, you guys please hurry up”
I ended the call and took my car keys with me, I nearly crashed into another car as I drove off the parking lot, I was on high speed, I didn’t care about anything, all my mind is on is about Jessica and how scared she might be.
I reached the house in a record time just to see the ambulance also there.
“Jessica!!”
I was really bothered so many thought ran through my mind.
What would have happened?
is she going to die?
Will i lose her just like this?
I was really losing it, I muttered a little prayer pls save her dear Lord.
I really love jessica I don’t want to lose her
