Linda (Harrison’s mom), and Helen were chatting and laughing, when they heard David and Harrison arguing about something.

"Man you have to calm down and talk to me I told you she wasn’t your type" Harrison said.
David inhale and slowly exhale before responding.
"I want her, every woman I have met, loves me for my money, fame or for my looks, but none of this seems to move that lady.
She’s just the one i have been looking for"

When David and Harrison finally reach the living room, Helen could tell David was troubled.
“Mom I need to talk to you now” he ordered
“ are you ok David”
Helen tried to confirm as she followed him to his chambers
"I am not fine.
I saw a lady, I love her and I want to marry her.
I want you to get her for me.
I don’t know how you are going to do that, just get her for me"
He said looking at his mom with his eyes as cold as death itself.

"David calm down and talk to me, whatever it is we can handle it.
So have you talk to her about your intentions yet?
I mean have you told her that you love her and does she feel the same for you?
“Yes I have...”
"Then we got no problem at all, any woman would kill for an opportunity like this" Helen said smiling hoping that would help David relax.

“She doesn’t love me. I just saw her yesterday and
she already has someone she wants to get married to”
Helen smiles faded when she heard that.
“You mean she is in love with another person”? Helen asked

"Yes, that’s what she told me, but I don’t give a dam about that.
I want you to get her for me, I want her to be my wife that all that matters.
she’s the only one I think I want to marry, if it’s not her then it would be no one,  so if you ever want me to get marry, grab this opportunity" David said.

Helen was speechless for a while then she moved close to him and looked straight in his eyes.
"David look at me, I don’t want what happened to your father to happened to you at all.
Remember it was you, who always told me you were going to marry a woman whom you love and love you in return.
This was the same mistake your father made dear, and I don't want you to make same.
David you are making a wrong decision, you just saw this lady yesterday at the wedding and then today
And all of a sudden you want to marry her? This is not like the one night passions you are used to, this is more complex.
what if she ends up like your mom?

"My mum was a model, who never wanted to give up her dreams for anything, she never wanted to be a mother but a beauty queen.
Mom this girl looks different, she is going to make a good mother and a good wife.
She even told me she is engaged that means she wants to have a family. She's just the right one " 
  "David I know you are wiser than the way you are thinking now.
you should marry a woman who loves you, a woman like Lois" Helen said gently touching his cheeks "not someone who will hurt you"
"I grew knowing just one mother and that is you
If you are afraid she might turn out to be like that woman you called my Mother then she would end up becoming like you.
Because you’re the only mother I know" I want to be left alone David said calmly. 

“Ok David what is her name” Helen finally asked knowing she was never going to win. Once David's mind was set to do something nothing changes it.

“Jessica, that’s all I know about her nothing more” you may leave... Please mom. He added because he didn't want to hurt her feelings

Helen left the room, went back to meet Linda and explained the situation to her. About David meeting a girl he likes, who happened not to like him in return but wanted to have her at all cost...

  Few day after,
Jessica was at the restaurant with her mother when they suddenly saw queen linda and another woman who also looked like a queen and the prince Harrison.
Immediately Jessica saw them she became scared and started talling her mum what had happened between her and the prince’s friend
"I insulted the prince friend some days back because he was behaving like someone who was insane.
When I went to see jenny off, he met me and said he wanted to marry me.
I told him I was in love and engaged to Samson already but he totally refuse to listen to me.
Maybe they have come to take me so I can punish" Jessica said fearfully.  

"Don't worry my dear we would take care of whatever it is okay?
Rose assured her daughter with a smile . Let's go and talk to them.

Helen, Linda and Harrison walked to the main house The bodyguard who was with them  knocked at the door. After the third knock,
Jessica Dad came out and saw the royal standing close to his door step.
He greeted them respectfully with a surprised look and ask them to come inside. Jessica's house was small, the furnitures were cheap but it was always neat and comfortable.

“What have we done to deserve this surprise visit”? He asked respectfully in fear.
“You have done nothing wrong, we have come to talk to you about something Important. You are Jessica's father I guess"
"yes" Jessica's father nodded.

"My son the king of Oulu kingdom want to marry your daughter Jessica.
That’s why we are here to make our intension known to her family because it is the right thing to do.
we would like the marriage to take place as fast as possible if you accept.
I promise you one thing you won't regret this.
If your daughter agrees to get marry to my son your family's is going to favoured in every aspect " Helen said.

Jessica father showed respect before responding,
“In as much as my daughter agrees, there would be no need for time wasting” he turned and looked at his daughter who was standing beside her mom and then he ask her if she accepts the king's offer.
Jessica slowly shake her head in disapproval and that got her father real angry but he tried not show it so the royal family won't notice.

Jessica’s mom was asked by the queen Linda to convince her daughter and tell her the important of accepting the king.
The bodyguard off loaded the gifts they royal family had came with and kept them in the center of the living room.
The gift covered almost all the available space in the living room.
Jessica's couldn't wait for the royal family to leave so he could check out the gifts.

When the royal family got home, David who was standing, restlessly waiting for them to come back
Asked them if she has agreed to marry him. He wanted her to say yes to him herself, he didn't want her to be forced to do so, but if that didn't work out the way he intends he would have to force her. He thought.

Helen told David not to worry, she assured him she would  make sure things wors out smoothly.

Later that evening in Harrison's chambers "Man that girl is beautiful,
But who would have ever thought the almighty king David of Oulu kingdom would end up with a normal maiden from my humble kingdom, that such an honor " Harrison said teasing David

“Harrison that girl don’t even like me at all she dislikes me with passion I could see that in her eyes she can murder me if she has the chance to so”
"No David, she didn’t know you were a king, now that she knows you are a king and not just any king but the richest and the most powerful king from the most  greatest kingdom, trust ladies
She will fall at your knee and worship you" Harrison assured him.
"No lady would let this opportunity pass her way without her grabbing it with full force"

This lady, speaks with no fear in her, to crown it all she told me she is already engaged to be married to someone else.
I know I am been wicked and selfish, but I want her,  I want to marry her.
I don’t care what the hell happens to her fiancé all I care is that I want her for a wife and I will achieve that which ever way"

"Don’t worry my friend, no woman will choose a wood instead of a diamond when she is given the opportunity to choose.
She is going to be yours, I promise you that. I would make sure I help you out at cost" Harrison assured him.

Few Days later, Jessica tried to talk to her mom concerning everything that was happening so fast
“Mom I can’t marry him, I can’t marry someone I don’t know or love.
I love Samson and want to spend the rest of my life with him.
You know that we are just waiting for money, he would soon come for me" Jessica said weeping hoping her mom will help her.
Ruth draw her daughter close to her and tried to comfort her.
Jessica I am so sorry but you know this is an opportunity we must grab if you marry him, you are going to be the queen of OULU kingdom
A very young queen at twenty, Remember you had always wanted to be very rich. This is going to be our only chance, your only chance to save us especially me and you siblings from all this suffering.
Please my dear, think about this, her mom spoke calmly this time.
Mom, Samson and I have good plans, we are going to get rich together we are already walking towards it" Jessica said then her father walked in.
You are going to marry the king and that is final am not going to allow you drag the name of this family to the pit no more complains" he spoke with authority.

"Daddy please don’t allow me marry that man, if you do I am going to die" Jessica pleaded
“I would be glad to come to your funeral at the Palace. just do the right thing ” her dad said and left her crying with more force.

There was nothing more to do, Jessica knew she was totally alone no help from anywhere.
She wanted to hate her mom but she couldn't she knew her mom if she could would have help her out.
But it was her dad she was mad at,  he never did anything for her and now because of money he wanted to sell her out to that what ever he was.

"Jessica this won't happen "
I am not going to allow you marry that dog. Who does he think he his?
Because he is the king, he thinks he can take what belongs to me and go scot free.
I swear I’m going to kill him"
Samson said angrily when Jessica told him all that was happening.
"Calm down my love, take it easy. I’m not going to get married to him, it’s you I love and want to get married to " Jessica said trying to calm him.
We have to do something about this before it’s late, you know he his rich, Samson suggested.
Don’t worry, trust me I got this, Jessica replied.

Jessica was sitting with her face down not wanting to look at Helen.
“Jessica, look at me don’t be afraid I am not here to harm you, I want you to look at me like your mom, feel free to talk to me about anything” Helen said calmly  

"The truth your majesty, is that I don’t love your son,
Plus I have a boyfriend whom I have known all my life and I want to get married to him. I don’t know your son anywhere and I don’t wish to know him" Jessica said sincerely.

Jessica, I understand your resistance, but I want to assure you that when you get to know the king, you will love him, he is a great man.
You are still very young, soon you would forget about your boyfriend and discover you made the right choice.
I decided to talk to you today before we come with the king and all the royals .
Don’t try anything stupid everything that is needed has been handled.
Consider your family in whatever decision you are going to make it’s very important" Helen said and then she left.

Jessica sat thinking, she didn't like the condition her family was in but she was not ready to sacrifice her love for Samson.  If only her family would wait just for sometime, she will make sure things work out.

Jessica called Joelle and told her all that was happening Joelle was the only one that understood her but even with she could help her.
Jessica decided to marry the king  because of her mother and siblings but she was not going to be faithful to him in anyway she vowed.

some days after, David was starring at himself in the mirror, now dressed as a majesty he was
When the door opened, Helen stood and looked at David who was looking so handsome.
“Son, are you sure about this?
We can still end this if you decide to change your mind”

"yes mother, I am very sure. I just know I would be worse than my father, but I can’t quit.
She’s the woman I want to marry.
Now I can feel what my father felt,
I now know what led him to marry mom, I never knew till now.
I never understood until now" David said not wanting to look at Helen
"Don’t worry son, she’s still very young, it’s not going to take her much time to love you, you are just the best"
“You think so mother I want her to love me just the way I love her”

" I am sure she will" Now hurry your majesty, your people and all the royals await their king, they arrived very early.

"Wow Jessica, blessed is you among women, you look so beautiful, I wish I was you
You are so lucky girl, you are marrying the most handsome and youngest king of the great Oulu land.
Please her majesty, don’t forget me when you get to your kingdom
Please don’t forget your friend" jenny said smiling joyfully.
" Jessica, are you ok" jenny asked when she noticed tears dropping from Jessica’s eyes.
"I am not fine"
even though Jenny and her had become close since Joelle has left, 
Jessica wouldn't say they had that bond she as Joelle shares.
"I an not"  She replied wishing Joelle was here she would have understood and feel what she was feeling right now unlike Jenny who seems not to understand anything.

"I don’t want to get married to him I don’t love him jenny I don’t know what to do I wish I can just run away"
Jessica said but before she could finish her statement,
Her mom walked in.
“Jessica hope you are set, the royals have all arrived.
Wow, you look beautiful my baby don’t worry you would be ok I know he is going to make you happy you need to see just how handsome he looks”  Ruth said covering her eyes to stop her tears

Jessica stood in the window and immediately saw the King coming out from one of the might car that was pack in her compound.
She looked at him with angry despise, and wish she could murder him that moment.
“I don’t care if he is handsome or rich or the king, all I know is that I hate him” she said in her mind.

David had his seat, so did the king of Harris kingdom and the kingsmen. Harrison sat close to his friend David.
the queen, Helen and Harrison's new bride Judith all had their seat.
And then the bride was called upon
“it is time dear ” Jessica mother said to her...

Jessica come out looking more beautiful than she had been when David had first saw her, and David couldn’t help but fall deeper for her.
Jessica did the entire thing that the tradition demanded in sadness and anger.
After that The king and her were pronounced husband and wife. Jessica the queen of Oulu kingdom.

                       ***
“Make sure you finish all you have to do here we shall be leaving to my kingdom tomorrow” David said to Jessica who hadn't say a word through out the drive to the palace.

When they got to the palace, Helen took Jessica to the most beautiful room she had ever seen. A room which Jessica knew she would have to share with the devil that was now called her husband.
Helen told her to call any maid if you needed to locate anything in the room.
Jessica couldn’t say a word, all she could do was just to nod she had never felt the way she did at that particular moment.

She sat down and laid her head on the king-size bed that was close to her, trying to forget all that has happened.

Later that evening after so much disturbances by Helen and Harrison’s new wife Judith, about her joining them for dinner,
Jessica went down stair she looked around and was happy when she didn’t see any trace of David or Harrison though she would have preferred to left alone and not disturb by anyone.

After the dinner, Jessica and Judith were left alone while Helen and Linda went for a brief walk.
Judith introduced herself to Jessica as Harrison’s wife,  Jessica didn't want to listen because she felt it was at Judith wedding her misfortune had started.
“Don’t worry you would soon get to know the king he is really a nice person” Judith told Jessica 
Jessica who didn’t want to sound rude just said thanks and wished her a good night rest.
When Jessica got to the room, she discovered her so called husband was still not in the room
“Thank God he is not here! I wish he would just die were ever he is and never return” Jessica said as she lay on the bed without changing her dress she was too tired and annoyed to do so.

Minute later, David opened the door and walked in,
He kept the things he was holding and went straight to the shower he knew his wonderful wife was not yet asleep but was just pretending.

When he was done he came out put on his briefs and lay down without saying a word to her David knew his presence was making her uncomfortable, so he decided to talk to her
“Are you okay” he asked and there was no response for a while. Then the answer came "As you can see, I am not fine..
I swear to God if you try anything stupid i am going to murder you. Just stick to your side.
                                                               
Jessica sat on the car and watched as Helen and Linda say their good byes
And also Harrison and David who were having their finial discussion that Jessica had  tagged a evil one.
Jessica was trying to wipe the tears of loneliness that was already dropping from her eyes when Judith came and waved her good bye she quickly clean her eyes and pretend to fine. 

Few minute later, David joined her and Helen entered another car that was waiting.

Finally in the OULU kingdom, the people welcomed the king and his wife with a great feast and the wedding was concluded in the kingdom.

Close to the late hours of that day
Jessica was lead to her room by a maid, she was very tired and needed to rest.

As she entered through the chambers she saw some pictures of a little boy smiling with his missing tooth Jessica could not help but smile even in her sorrows she stop and was looking at the pictures when
she felt the presence of someone behind her
“That’s David when he was nine he was such a sweet child.
You look more beautiful when you smile the way you just did” Helen said and then walked away. 

Helen was a nice woman Jessica thought the only evil person among them was King David
"I am going to make life miserable for him just as he had made mine” Jessica said silently
Then she went with the maid to be shown her room.

When she entered the room she was surprised to see David inside. 
He was standing close to a desk that was directly faceing the window as if he was playing some kind of game.
she couldn't really tell  what kind of game it was,  but he looked as if he was enjoying himself.
she ignored him and sat at the edge of the bed.
The room was too beautiful and large to be called a bedroom the bed was soft and smooth she wanted nothing more than to lay on it and sleep her life out.

After the maid had left.
David turned and was now facing Jessica who was at the bed calmly he began to speak.
She had heard him speak before but she really didn't pay attention to the sound of his voice.
His voice was like that of an angel calm and smooth he spoke calmly as if talking would hurt it mouth. She thought but that didn't change anything he was still the badman

"Jessica you are now my wife, I own you now and I think it’s right time you start acknowledging me as your husband, not an enemy"
"You want me to start seeing you as my husband?
You remember what I said to you the other day?
That you were in sane? Do you remember?
I was actually right I can see you have lost your mind.
You are not my husband.
I don’t love you, I don’t even like you the earlier you realize it and send me back to my parent and to my boyfriend, the better it would be you.
You think money is everything? Your majesty i am sorry but you are wrong. I don't even know what I am doing here"

David looked at Jessi and move forward to her.
When Jessica saw him coming closer to her she became scared, she wanted to call for help...
When David got the Jessica he discovered she was already shaking.
He bent down in front of her and lifted her chin up to face him.
"you will say no nonsense in my house.
From now hence fort, You will to do everything a wife is suppose to do with no complain and this is finial.
If you try to disobey me in any way , I promise you are going to get it the hard way"
 
"I don’t love you, just let me go please I don’t like it here please" Jessica said using her hand to plead hoping he would understand.
"Learn to like it here, this is now your home, you are my wife and there is nothing you can do to change it" David replied, and left her weeping silently. He never returned to the bed room till the next day in the evening.

The next day at dinner, Helen notice something was wrong. David has never looked this upset she thought.
David ate little of his and left without saying a word.

“What happened to your husband?” Helen asked after David had left.
"my husband?
“I don’t know” Jessica replied innocently.
" You should know what is wrong with him, he is your responsibility, he is your husband.
Did you two argure about something?
"Yes we had a little argument" Jessica looking down at her plate.

"Jessica. you are now a different person, you are now a woman. you are different from whom you were two week ago.
You are now married with responsibilities, you have to learn how to please the man who is now call your husband.
Even if you don’t love him, he  your husband now you have to learn to love him you have no other choice" Helen said

All Jessica could do was to nod. But couldn't do all the things Helen had said. If it was for Samson yes she would, but for David she wouldn't .

Jessica was scared of entering the bed room David would have just remain where he was last night. She thought.
She had locked the door slept peacefully alone in the nice bed without worrying about him coming in without her consent.

She was so scared he might want to do those things married people were supposed to do to her.
their bed room was always lonely and free of people she could shout and no one would hear her, she thought.

After so much struggle with herself, Jessica took the courage and entered inside the room.
David was already in bed but she know he was not sleeping yet.
She took her pj and went inside the bathroom to change, when she heard a voice she didn't hear the door open.

“You need some help with that?” David asked and immediately, Jessica turned and tried to cover herself
“You are trespassing” she said with unsteady voice.
"No, I am with my wife not trespassing, he said and then
Moved closer to touch her but she was already shaking, he cupped her face with his hand and kissed her
Jessica began struggling trying to pull away from David with tears in her eyes flowing like a river.
“Please don’t do this please am begging you” Jessica pleaded.
David could not stand her tears anymore, it hurt him real bad that he had to pull away “I am so sorry u wasn't planning on doing anything.
I promise I won’t touch you again, not when you don’t want me to”. He stretched his hand and picked his toothbrush then he walk away from her living her still standing like a statue.

After David was done brushing his teeth and left,  Jessica finished dressing and came to the bed chamber.
she lay down close to the edge of the bed and pull the cover to her body. She tried to sleep but she couldn't she later gave up trying to sleep and began praying silently that David keep to his promise.
This continued for a month most night David slept in his study room.

                             ***
David was concentrated with what he was doing in his laptop Jessica on the other hand was on the bed pretending to be sleeping, when her phone rang.
David check his watch and discovered it was 11: 54pm. Few minutes to 12:am who is calling her at this moment David ask himself and decide want and find out.

Jessica quickly silent the the phone and waited for a while.
When she was certain David's attention was still focused in his work, she got up from the bed and stretch as if she had been sleeping, then went to the bathroom and call the number which had called her.

“Hello my love, how are you doing it’s me your sweetheart” Samson spoke
"I am good I was thinking you have forgotten about me.
you don’t know how much I have waited for your call" Jessica whispered
"I am so sorry sweetheart, you know I can never forget about you, I can’t live without you, you that.
I was handling something that would be of help to  us that’s why. I am around, I am in Oulu kingdom, and I want to see you my love"
“Just tell me were to meet Sweetheart , and I will be there” Jessica said joyfully. 
"Pam’s hotels at two pm tomorrow it's not difficult to locate"
“Ok I would be there” Jessica said.
"Hope that dog won't harm you if he sees you leaving" Samson asked concerned.
"No, I know how to handle him just trust me"she assured him.

After the call, Jessica went back to the bedroom looking happy, even though she tried not to make it known.

The next day, Jessica knew if she goes out alone they would suspect her where about so she asked her personal her maid to accompany her for a stroll.
She was putting on just a simple gown that made her look more younger.
The maid  was scared, because her majesty was not suppose to leave the palace without guard but Jessica asked her not to worry.
The maid was forced to do as her mistress command.

Few kilometers to her destination Jessica  asked the maid to wait for her, when the maid tried to protest again, Jessica shut her up.
The maid nodded to the instruction and then Jessica left.

Jessica was happy when she saw Samson, 
“Oh my love” Samson said as he kissed her the way he had never kissed her before
"Baby I’ve missed you so much, she confessed to him"
" Hope that fool has not tempered with my baby" Samson ask trying to survive
  “No not at all, trust me” Jessica assured him.
They were enjoying each other company but Jessica  had to leave because her maid was waiting.

“Promise me you would get me out of that palace” she said before she left.
“Don’t worry my love I will” Samson said kissing her for the last time.

Eve who had been waiting for more than two hour was beginning to be scared
She was about going to the palace to call for help when Jessica finally show up.

“My queen you scared me, I was worried that something bad has happened to you”
“Don’t worry I am fine”
Jessica responded happily It was already past 6 :30pm when they reached the palace.

David was inside the room when Jessica walked in. She was looking so happy and beautiful the only time he could remember her looking this way was when he had first saw her moving her body at Harrison's wedding.

“Where are you coming from”? David asked without looking at her
"eve and I went for a walk " Jessica replied
"a walk?
Why didn’t you ask the guards to accompany you? Don’t you know you are endangering your life"
I didn't think it was necessary; I will do that next time"
“That's if there is going to be a next time” David said, this time with his eyes locked to her.
Jessica opened her mouth to talk but she couldn’t find what to say, all she could do was just to look at him.
"you are never going to leave this palace again, is that okay"
Yes "she nooded"

After that day, Jessica went three more times to see Samson in secret thinking David was not aware.

David on the other hand, get a private investigator who was watching her.

The investigator told David, that his wife was seeing a man named Samson he showed him some pictures of them he had taken as prove.

After David discovered Jessica was still seeing her boyfriend, he kept it to himself and never said anything to her.
He decided to secretly follow her to her next visit to see for himself.

The next time Jessica went to see Samson, David followed her, but she didn't knew she thought David had gone for a meeting and will be returning late.

When she got to the private place she and Samson had been meeting, she sighted him coming from afar and immediately started smiling. When he got to him, she hugged and kissed him, smiling like a child.
“I have never seen her this happy” David thought to himself She was looking free and fearless unlike when she is with him.

David felt so bad, he felt like crying.
He felt like a great loser I love you so much Jessica and I can’t let you go, I can’t lose you. You are supposed to be mine, he said in his mind feeling bitter and angry...

David was standing and facing the window with anger and disappointment written all over him as he waited for his wife to return he was restless...

Jessica finally entered the room after an hour.
“Where are you coming from”? David asked Jessica immediately the shut.
"I said where are you coming from"? He asked again when Jessica refused to answer him.
“I don’t understand what you are talking about” Jessica said David who was already out of patience, moved close to her with a speed that could only be describe as the speed of light and held her shaking her with his finger dipped into her skin
“Where are you coming from you prostitute answer me”
"I an not going to explain myself to you David" she tried to pull away but she couldn't
“You are hurting me David” Jessica protested, but David didn't withdrew.

“Where i am coming from, is none of your business and don’t you dare call me that, I am not a prostitute. Now leave me alone ”

David couldn’t help but laugh out wickedly, "I don’t care if I hurt you or not you can die if you want to, he held her tightly and began to kiss her in a hard and mockery way hoping to make her suffer more than she has made him.

"David please stop this, you are hurting me, Jessica said trying to pull out from his soft but firm arms.
You promised me you were not going to hurt me, remember that David she said crying please remember your promise.

“That was when I still cared, but not anymore” he said with his eyes sparkly with unmistakable anger.
In that anger, he forcefully threw her to bed pining her down with his thigh with his leg press on the bed then began to get rid of her cloths.
Jessica  was weak and tired, she couldn't move. All she could was close her eyes in pain and shame.
He never wanted to hurt her, he had vowed not to. but now he didn't want to care what happens to her feelings
this time he was barbaric in his passion, taking what he wanted, forcing her to submit to him.

Jessica’s mind rebelled furiously from the burning mastery of his hands and his mouth. she tried to stop him.
“Please don’t rape me” she cried out powerlessly pleading.
“You beast”
She moaned in a desperate attempt to deny him of what he was doing to her but she weak.
When David drew slightly away from her, to remove his own cloth her eyes fluttered open to see him looking down at her.
He was jerking of his shirt with shaking hands and his eyes alive with passion as they moved over her slim body.
She could feel his gazed burning like a fire around her body and the knowledge of that almost made her want to give up. 
 
It was some time before David forcefully heaved himself off Jessica's exhausted body swearing to himself .

Jessica refused to look at him.
her eyes tightly closed and wet from crying.
David dragged the cover that was beneath to cover her nude body before rolling to the other side of the bed and use his hand to rake his hair.

After sometime, David moved close to Jessica who was in the same position he had left her. He used his hand to gently wipe the tears her was on her cheek.
“ Jessica”
he whispered.
"you should have told me I..." he shot his eyes for a while before he could speak again, Jessica voiced out.

“I hate you so much David you are a monster.
you raped me, just go away I don't want to see you, I want to be left alone” she said weeping silently.

David was not himself after that incident,
He never wanted to hurt Jessica no matter what happen.
But that was what he had ended up doing, he had never regretted anything in his entire life like he did hurting Jessi.
Nothing would have ever make him belive his wife was untouched... even if he was to be told by a priest he wouldn't have accepted.

He wanted to hold her till she understand  how sorry he was he had judged her wrongly he was deeply sorry to have taken her the way he did.

He put on his briefs and left the bed. He look at Jessi, she was still weeping silently taking solace in the pillow.  
he put on his trousers and walked out of the room feeling sad and guilty. He didn't returned till the next morning.

Jessica open her eyes and pull the bed cover closer to her necked body. 
She didn't know how she had managed to sleep.
She was feeling different sour and tired. she wanted desperately to wash up but she didn't have the strength to get to the bathroom. and she was hungry because she didn't eat dinner.

When she couldn't stand the Hunger anymore, Jessica decided to clean up and go the kitchen for breakfast.
The floor was cold when she placed her foot on it. Her cloth was no were to found. Since she was alone she decided to walk to the bathroom the way she was. She was about taking her first step when the door knob turned and then David walked in.

Jessica sat back and drag the blanket to her body.  Then she looked away from David's direction.

"Jessica, please don’t turn your face away.
I don’t know how to say this, but I am really sorry for last night.
I love you so much, it wasn't my intention to hurt you.
I know you never loved me, but I couldn’t help it because I love you so much.
right the first time I saw you, I knew you were the only woman I wanted to be with.
I was hoping you would get to love me.

I can see how much you love your boyfriend and was faithful to him.
It pains me so much to admit that I am jealous of him because he was able to win your heart.
I have really trespassed. I know even my money can’t pay you back for what I took from you.
But I want you to know that i am ready to do whatever is going to make you happy, your happiness matters to me believe me.

I was thinking I would win your love in no time because I have never find it difficult to gain any woman's love.
now I understand my mother’s words... “You can’t force someone to love you no matter how hard you try, it won’t work, and that person would only dislike you more”

Please Jessi find a place in your heart to forgive me" David said biting his bottom lip.

Jessica couldn’t help it, she felt fresh tears running down, she couldn’t just turn to look at him. She and Samson had intended to wait till they were married.
“Just leave”
she finally said to him still not wanting to look at him.

David started sleeping in his study after that incident he hardly went to their bedroom room. They only saw each other during breakfast and dinner most time David eats in his study.
This kept happening for weeks.

Jessica was always looking for a way to talk to David but he was always avoiding her. Staying away from her was what she had wanted but she didn't want that anymore.

She became close to her personal maid and Helen.

“I have noticed your husband is not himself this days is everything ok with him” Helen asked Jessica when they were together.

Jessica wanted to tell Helen about everything that has happened between them and even about Samson but she couldn’t, she was scared.
“Yes he is fine" she said and smiled forcefully 

"David can be so secretive, you just need to draw closer to him then he will open up.  Make him feel loved, give him attention, he can kill for that.  Give him your time he will always appreciate that even if he doesn't shows it" Helen said.
Jessica just nodded.
