Chapter 10

The driver drove her to her house. She picked up her already packed suitcase. She has suggested that she and Burke move there after marriage since her place was bigger but Burke had suggested they put up the place for rent for extra cash. The extra cash was going to her alone now.

She went to her real estate agent to list her house for rent. Her agent had celebrated with her for moving out. Jessica had skipped over the details but told her that she had gotten married and decided to leave the place.

Her phone vibrated in her bag again and she picked it up and put it to her ears.

"Hello, Jessica" Burke's voice rang through the phone. His voice still sent shivers down her spine.

"Hello Burke" she replied feeling the tears coming back again. The driver was going back to the house. She had decided to go rest and then get whatever she needed the following day. She was exhausted.

"Why does it say you got married to Xavier Delgado?" Burke asked.

Jessica was disappointed by his question. She thought he was calling to beg her back but it dawned on her that the reason he called was because he heard that she had gotten married.

"How do you know?" Jessica asked him angrily.

"Your name and picture are plastered over the internet and news" Burke answered.

"Since you moved on with my friend Emma. I decided to move on and get married to him" Jessica said.

She felt her blood boiling. Why was she even wasting her time answering his questions?

"And my question is how you met him?" Burke asked.

"How is that any of your business you playboy" Jessica answered allowing her annoyance to get the best of her.

"I just wanted to know" he answered his voice low.

"You cheated on me and dumped me so don't you ever call me again," Jessica said angrily before cutting off the call and blocking the number.

She hated herself that she still had leftover feelings for that man. She has seen the signs ever since she introduced Emma to Burke. They had been getting together but her need for companionship made her ignore the signs.

She hated herself for settling for less. She was married to a stranger and she had just the bare minimum of interaction with him but he has treated her better than the seven years she spent with Burke.

The drive to the mansion ended and one of the boys who ran errands helped her with her bags.

She entered the room and took a warm shower before coming downstairs to make herself dinner. She wanted to call Xavier to ask if he like to have dinner with her but she discovered that she didn't have his number.

She decided to make it for herself only. After a light dinner and the cook fussing over her every movement in the kitchen, she went back to the room. She wanted to wait up for Xavier but the bed called her and she slept off before she could say A.
