Chapter Nineteen

It's not so flowery

As they say,

It's painful

It hurts.

Love isn't those sweet words

Jessica POV

"Jesse!" I cried. He sighed, taking a deep breath.

"I know Nathaniel gave up on the search for Mirabella." I nodded my head. We have to find someone else I thought to myself.

"No Jessie, we won't," He said softly, " We can't hire anyone to search for Mirabella."

"What?" I shouted in anger, how can he give up on our sister? Who knows what is happening to her?

"What do you mean Jesse," I inquired. How can he say something like that? "We should just forget that we have a sister who is out there all by herself," I asked in outrage. I could have felt my face heating.

"What if!" I was about to ask, what if something bad happens to her? When Jesse slammed his hand on the table.

"I don't care if anything happens to her, okay," He yelled in anger. He was just angry. I knew he didn't mean what he had said.

"Why!" I cried softly.

"Father knows, and he is angry." He took a deep breath, "we will find her but not now okay."

"Okay!" I agreed with him. We will find her. Not now but we will.

My rightful name is Jessica Simpson, but they all know me as Jessica Anna Jacobson, the billionaire spoiled daughter. Jesse and I were adopted by Jenny Jacobson and Maryam Jacobson. They are very lovely and caring sometimes, but most of the time they are never at home, they are always busy. Jesse and I are twins. We were ten years old when they took us under their wings. It's nine years since we haven't seen our sister Mirabella. I hope she is okay, she has to be okay for us, for our parents.

Madelyn POV

"Where are you going," He asked when he had woken up.

"I am going to class. I have six more months to complete my study." I answered softly, rubbing the lip liner on my lips.

"You can't go to college, baby," he said softly, turning me to face him. He can't be serious, can he? I have been studying for years now. So, I can't let it all go to waste. My goal was to complete my studies, then find a good job, then search for my little brother and sister. "Jesse and Jessica," Their birthday was a few days back. They turned 19 on February 22. I can never forget that day. Finding them was my only goal in life. But, Kai comes along. Yes! He is the only reason I am alive. I can't give it all up. I must complete my studies and then find my little brother and sister.

People say life goes on. But, Mine hasn't just can't. All I could remember was their tears, they shouted my name. Thinking I will save them. I was useless, I couldn't save them from being taken away. That woman could but she gave them away to that man and his wife. I don't know their name but they were Italian. It was so cruel of her. Then she sent me away to foster care. I was lucky that the Moore family took me under their wings.

"Babe," Kai's voice brings me back to reality, "what?" I inquired.

"Did you hear what I said just now," He inquired in a gentle voice?

"Yes," I lied. I didn't hear a thing he said before I was too lost in my thoughts.

He nodded his head, "Okay, so you agreed not to go to college in person you will be taking online classes, yeah?"

"What?" If you were to cut me you won't find any blood in me. "I can't take online classes and I won't."

"Too bad you have to?" He said. What? Is he out of his mind, I am not a bird in a cage. I am not his so-called maid to order me around. I am his wife, and, more importantly, I am Madelyn. Nobody tells me what to do. I will do anything but stay in the house all day by myself. No, not going to happen.

"No, not going to happen," I said with a shake of my head, "Never, ever?"

"Fuck!" He let out in wrath, he ran his hands through his hair in frustration. How dare he yell at me, I am not his child. I am no one to him. Who does he think he is? He isn't my boss.

"Don't yell at me," I tried to hold myself but I broke away, " I am not a bird in a cage." I cried out letting the tears fall to show how weak, how stupid I am. I hate myself for being weak, for not being able to protect myself, for not being able to choose what I want to do. For being so weak that I fell in love with the devil.

"Baby," He let out a deep breath hugging me tightly, "I am sorry, I am sorry, baby."

"Okay,"

"It's just that I have a lot of rivals, baby, they won't think twice before hurting you, baby." He explained softly.

He is a dangerous man, I knew he would have a lot of enemies but that doesn't mean that I have to be locked away. I can't be kept in a house all my life, I have friends I want to be with, and I need to talk with my friends.

"But I can't be locked away in a room forever, Kai," I said.

He took a deep breath letting it out slowly, "I know baby, I will let Matt and Jack be your bodyguard when you are out."

I don't want a bodyguard but I know that he only wants me to be safe. I want to tell him, No! I don't need a bodyguard but I won't push my luck, and it does feel good to know that someone cares for you.

"Thank you," I said softly.
