Jessica’s pov
“AHH, I wish I can stay here forever but I know that’s not possible, I have to go to work, and find out who this person is, Xavier is caring, I…. I think I like him but this message is scaring me, what if everything is true, what if he has another motive, I don’t think I….”
The buzzing of my phone brought my out, I looked at it thinking that it was the anonymous person but it wasn’t, it’s was BLAC….
My heart fell to my chest as I glanced at the name, I slowly opened the message but it wasn’t what I was expecting from him at all,
(They seem to be using a pager phone, I don’t know how to trace that, but I will still continue )
I breathed in deeply and exhaled, this is wreaking my nerves, seems like I need to tell Xavier about it, I got up and headed straight to our room where I know he will be at that time, I increased my pace as I walked to the building, i went to our room but he wasn’t there, I asked around and I found out he was at grandfather’s study, I went there but I heard something that made me pause in my footsteps,
“Grandfather, those people are involved in it”
“It’s isn’t right, they are my friends”
“Father, you know friends can betray you at any time, they targeted Jessica ”
“So the plan worked out well, I told you to get her pregnant and get an heir to secure your position ”
“Father, my heir can be killed and Jessica might be in danger too”
“Says the same person that wanted to use her as bait”
“That’s was the old plan not anymore ”
I was beyond shocked, I was so shocked that I felt dizzy, my legs trembling unable to hold my weight, I had to hold into the post there for a while, I felt and saw my eyes become blurry and cloudy before warm water droplet fell on the floor, I held my hand over my mouth to stifle the sobs that threatened to break out to the surface, I ran, I ran as fast as I could towards the forest, I didn’t mind the twigs that scratched my legs or the water splashes on the ground.
When I got tired of running, I sat down a tree stub panting and heaving, breathing became laboured and hurt, I was having a panic attack, I took deep breaths to calm myself down but it was obviously not working, more tears gushed out from my eyes hurting me and making it harder for me to breath, I tried to calm down and when I did, I burst out crying and sobbing, it hurts more than Collins heartbreak, I could have died without knowing and thinking Xavier was innocent with the way he treated me , I thought we had felt something for each other but i was the fool again.
I remained in the forest in a daze, my tear duct ran out of tears and I was just staring into the horizon, my phone buzzed but I ignored it till it started ringing instead, I took it out from my pocket and looked at it, it was the anonymous idiot again, I didn’t ignore them, I answered it,
“Hi hey dear Jessica ”
It was a male voice
“… ”
“Are you being intentionally silent or not in a good place to talk”
“What the fuck do you want?”
“Woowooow, am sorry princess, did someone make you angry?”
Okay, fine I was getting really irritated by whoever the bastard that was calling me was, I hang up on him only to get a call back immediately, I picked up again but before I could talk he said something absurd,
“Seems like you found out am saying the truth, did you go confront your husband or did you eavesdrop?”
“How is it any of your business?”
“Well, it isn’t but am just Looking out for you okay”
I snorted
“You have the nerves to lie, you are doing this to drive a wedge between I and my fucking husband and let me tell you it won’t and will never work out for you, so give up before I tell my husband and he starts chasing you”
“Am not afraid of your husband, he won’t do anything to me, I just stated facts of what he did”
“You didn’t do anything to him when you were among the people that killed his parents ”
“….”
“Cat got your tongue, you know what…..”
He hanged up on me, I said it as a test but seems like I was right, Xavier’s parents death was just an accident, it was a premeditated murder, and this anonymous person has something or involved himself in it and am going to find out before it’s my turn to go six feets under.
I called blac immediately after I have made my decision,
“Hello ma’am ”
“Investigate about the death of Mr Xavier’s parents ”
“You mean your husband?”
“Yes my husband or is there any other Mr Xavier am married to??”
“Hahaha, no ma’am ”
“Okay, call me as soon as you find anything, make it a file ”
“Okay Roger that”
I ended the call, clean my dress, removing any debris I got caught in earlier and headed back to the mansion.
The whole place was in an uproar as I came in, my guys told me am the one they were searching for, I didn’t care,
“Jessica, where the hell have you been?”
“I went out”
“And you weren’t picking your calls”
“Must I answer your calls whenever ”
“You had me worried sick about you”
“Haa, are you sure or were you scared your bait has gotten lost”
“What did you just say, what do you mean by ‘bait’ ?”
“I meant exactly what you heard me say”
