A Deal With The Billionaire

EPISODE HUNDRED AND NINE

THEME: Jessica’s Confession

Tiana moved past Benjamin to see the shattered glasses on the floor. “Are you okay Chris?” she asked.

“I am fine!” Christopher responded still not taking his eyes off Jessica.

“Oh that’s the bitch?!” Tiana queried as she made an attempt to run at Jessica. Benjamin caught her midway and held her in place.

“Behave yourself.” He purred into her ears as his hands was weaved perfectly around her waist.

“Okay. Fine. Let me go.” Tiana gritted.

Jessica stared at the room as she wondered what was going on. “Chris, did you ask your friends to come gang up against me?” She let out a snort. “Wow. I am so disappointed. You know we could sort this out on our own.”

Christopher ignored her as he took a seat on one of the couches. Tiana copied his movement and only Benjamin walked towards Jessica handing her the documents he had previously shown Christopher.

“You might want to see this.” He told her with a smirk in his face.

Jessica’s hands were beginning to shake as it all came back to her again. Like a dejavu, Dolores had also kept evidences to show how insincere she was in a brown file like this one. If the documents were about her then it was all over. She had nothing to argue about anymore.

Benjamin and Tiana watched in amusement as she took her time pulling out the papers. Christopher tried hard to keep the tears from stinging his eyes away.

Staring at the pictures of her, Jessica gasped out lightly. Dolores had betrayed her. “That bitch!” She muttered under her breath. Her shock mounted when she was staring right at her pregnancy test. Jessica unconsciously face palmed herself.

Obviously, the results could be gotten. She had run a test when she had been feeling sick at the exact hospital Antonio did most of his checkup. She had not envisioned things going south.

“What did I ever do to deserve this?” Christopher queried in a soft tone.

Sitting on the couch slowly, Jessica stared into space. It was all over for her. “Listen Christopher… I had no intention to… drag you into my mess.” She stuttered.

“Of course you didn’t, you two faced bitch!” Tiana snorted.

“Why did you have to show up now that my life was doing absolutely fine without you in it?” Christopher demanded.

Jessica sniffed feeling mortified. She was exhausted. “It’s true that I cheated on you while we dated. But all I wanted was to get to the top of my career and I didn’t care who I had to use or hurt. I did like you for real Christopher, but it wasn’t enough to keep me at your side. I loved the idea of having a boyfriend and being able to do all that I wanted. It was good until you proposed so I didn’t see any reason to keep you any longer. I kept up with my life and it was all turning out well until I got pregnant.” Tears dropped from her face.

“You really should cry, I wonder how you sleep at night. So scary.” Benjamin cringed as he watched the tears dropping down her face. Jessica Campbell was the devil herself.

Cleaning her face, Jessica continued. “I was planning to move out of Idaho and begin a new life. I had no intention of returning to you because I knew there was no way you would take me back. But then I got several messages from your sister Ashley.” She stopped never daring to look up at any of their faces.

“What?!” The other three in the room exclaimed.

“What do you mean Ashley texted you?” Christopher asked. He was finding it unbelievable.

“Yes… I swear it. You have to believe me that your sister texted me. Ashley told me that you got married but she didn’t like Raven because she saw her as a gold digger. She told me to return to you saying that she believed you still loved me and we could sort out our differences.” Jessica recounted all the messages she had read on her phone.

“That’s a fucking joke right?” Benjamin asked.

Picking up her phone from the couch, Jessica searched for the messages on her instagram and held her phone out without meeting anyone’s eye contact. Tiana stood up from the couch she sat on and snatched the phone from her. Her eyes scanned through all the messages.

“What the hell! Chris, she did send lots of messages! That fucking bitch!” She grimaced in anger.

“Let me see that.” Benjamin walked closer to Tiana and took the phone from her.

“Wow. Ashley did a great job. I never knew she had this in her.” Benjamin muttered after he affirmed her confession.

“Yeah. She never liked Raven.” Tiana added.

He tried to give it to Christopher but he held his hand up refusing to see it.

“You could have stayed back and refuse to make a fool of me but you were too selfish to hold yourself back. If you could fool me for four years; It would be easy to fool me for another couple of years. I had hated you but when you showed up apologizing I thought you were being sincere and was beginning to love you again. But now I really despise you and your face irks me!” Christopher fumed as he was already up from the couch. He glared at her. “Get the hell out of my house now Jessica before I do something really bad.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Not waiting for the instruction to be repeated twice, Jessica scampered upstairs to get her things. Tiana followed her to ensure she wouldn’t do anything stupid. Christopher headed to the bar slouching as he walked. Benjamin followed suit. Grabbing a bottle of whiskey he poured the content into two glasses and handed one to his friend.

“What do you intend to do now?” Benjamin asked.

“I guess it’s time to tell the whole family.” Christopher replied as he gulped down the content. He shut his eyes tightly. He was feeling so tired. There was no telling how he felt exactly. Jessica had really drained him.

Benjamin turned to look at the stairs when he heard footsteps. “That’s fast.” He commented looking towards Tiana.

Tiana snickered in response. “Well I couldn’t let her waste too much time than she had already used.”

“You should leave a good life from now on if not for your sake but for the sake of your unborn child.” Benjamin advised Jessica.

“I am so sorry. Please forgive me, Chris-” Jessica began to apologized. She looked dejected.

Christopher cut her off. “Just get the hell out of my house Jessica and don’t even try to show your face ever again. If you do then I might not be able to control myself.”

Seeing she had lost face, Jessica dragged her things out with Tiana behind her. “I hope you raise your unborn child well so he or she wouldn’t end up like you.” Tiana said in a spiteful tone.

Just as Jessica stepped out, Tiana banged the door shut and did a victory dance.

Benjamin shook his head in disappointment. “You dance really awful.”

“Like you would ever be able to match that.” Tiana scoffed.

Christopher couldn’t help the chuckle. “I can’t thank you both enough. Thanks so much for being here. Thank you Tiana. I know you hate me right now but just wait till I find Raven and I promise to make it all right.”

Tiana almost revealed she knew where Raven was before biting her tongue. “I hope you both get back together soon.”

“Me too. You and Raven look great together.” Benjamin stated.

“Do you always have to copy me?” Tiana glared at him.

Benjamin snorted. “You must really think of yourself as brilliant.”

Standing up, Christopher shook his head. “I think I have had enough of you both for today. You should be on your way now.”

Rather than respond the two of them kept faulting each other as they left the house. Christopher felt all alone as he looked around the house. Matilda came in shortly after.

“Goodness me!” Matilda exclaimed as she sighted the broken table. “What happened here?”

“It’s a long story, Tilda. A very long one.” Christopher replied as he retired to his room.
