It was started with a harmless request, "Jessica, clear out a room for Zoey, she'll be moving in with us for the time being." Jessica's marriage soon ended when that 'guest' climbed up the ladder, from a guest room downstairs, to Jessica's bedroom, and then, her husband's bed. After losing in the fight for her husband's attention and love, Jessica realized it was time to wear back her garment of dignity and respect. She signed the divorce papers and left the country. Two years later, she returned as the heiress to a conglomerate, but her husband was at the airport, waiting to welcome her home. "When did I say I didn't love you, Jessica?" he asked.
Jessica's POV
I frowned, taken aback by the sudden change in topic. "What? What has he got to do with any of this?"
Liam's face darkened. "You're rejecting me because of him? Is that so?"
I rolled my eyes. "And so? What if he's the reason? After all, he's my boyfriend."
Liam's expression twisted into a sneer. "You're mine, Jessica. If you insist on him, then you won't be having any of us in your life."
I laughed, incredulous. "What are you talking about? You're threatening me?"
Liam's voice dropped to a menacing tone. "You heard me. I can turn a blind eye to you dating other men for the time being, until your anger is satiated, but if you insist it's Kristen, then...don't blame me for murdering him."
My eyes widened in horror. "You've lost your damn mind!" I gasped.
Liam's face was cold, calculating. "I'll do whatever it takes to keep him away from you, Jessica. Whatever it takes."
