The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“I knew my brother is the one sponsoring his education, his sister nor his Mum could have afford Ivy Royals, they are wretched and everyone knows that” Jessica said after Javad told her Mr Ethan is the one sponsoring Arusha in Ivy Royals.

“And you can just tell the whole school, your brother is the one sponsoring Arusha” Javad suggested.

“Of course I’m going to do just that, I’m going to embarrass him so much that he’ll regret ever calling me an opportunist” Jessica smiled, she’s glad she finally has something to use against Arusha.

“There’s another thing also” Javad said.

“What?” Jessica asked.

“Remember you promised not to mention to Mr Ethan that i came to you. Please do not let Mr Ethan know of this.” Javad said.

“I won’t, trust me” Jessica said.

“Arusha and Irish’s Mum had an accident and her legs were broken, she was on wheelchair. I think Irish talked Mr Ethan into it cause he paid the surgery bills and every other expenses that came along with it and it was a whole lot of money, he also rented a new apartment for them and furnished it immensely” Javad said.

“What!” Jessica screamed as she got to her feet.

“They are the real opportunists here Jessy, you can use those things i told you against them. Ifelt sorry for you when that opportunist called you an opportunist cause i know you’re not, you’re Mr Ethan’s younger sister. You need to do something Jessy…” Javad was saying but Jessica already flee out of the room.

He laughed hard “This is gonna be fun”

He quickly got to his feet and walked out of Jessica’s room. He needed to go see what drama she’ll perform.

Irish descended the stairs, She just left Arin’s room, she was headed to the living room to join Ethan when she heard Jessica screamed.

She limped towards her and Irish wondered what was going on.

“You and your brother are the real opportunists here!! You made my brother pay for your mum’s surgery bills and also made him rent an apartment for you, you took advantage of his weak spot for y…”

“Shut up!!!” Irish shouted at her for the first time.

Ethan and Mrs Harlow who were seated in the living room, rushed towards the stairs and Mrs Gabrielle also left what she was doing in the kitchen to see what’s going on.

Jessica looked shocked, she hadn’t expected Irish to shut her up.

“I never for once used Ethan’s weak spot for me as an advantage, he’s here. You can ask him that. And about the surgery bills, I’m working so hard to pay him back, he never rented an apartment for me, i rented it myself, with my money! Jessica you’re just a little rude girl whoneeds serious counselling, I’m done tolerating your insensitive behavior and if you get on my nerves one more time, i’ll have to teach you some lessons and trust me my lessons are not as calm as i am, you definitely won’t like to taste my venom. Be warned Jessica. ” Irish said angrily.

She walked out of the scene and Javad was disappointed from where he was watching.

“Who told you all that Jessica?” Ethan asked angrily.

“Who!” He yelled at her for the first time and she shifted back in fear.

“I.. i…” She stammered, her eyes heavy with tears.

She never thought Ethan would ever yell at her, she was more furious at Irish cause she had caused this.

“Speak up! Cause there’s no way you would ever know that i handled Mrs Helen’s surgerybills, you weren’t even around at the time. Who told you huh?” Ethan asked and Jessica kept mute.

She couldn’t betray Javad, no matter what.

She had promised him and she won’t want him to lose his job.

He told her that because he cared for her.

Javad broke into cold sweat and his legs shook.

The look in Jessica’s eyes felt like she’s ready to say the truth.

Who wouldn’t spill the truth with the way Ethan was glaring hard at her.

Jessica started crying and looked over to her mum for help and Mrs Gabrielle sighed.

She was fed up with the whole thing!

Things keep sprouting from different directions and it has Jessica involved in it.

“I told her, Ethan” Mrs Gabrielle broke the seemingly endless silence.

“And i didn’t mean it the way she confronted Irish over it. It wasn’t even today i told her, it was a day after she returned from Paris. I told her how kind you were to pay Mrs Helen’s surgery bills.” Mrs Gabrielle lied to Ethan, for the first time in years.

She won’t want her daughter to get into Ethan’s bad book, she still wondered who told Jessica though .. she’s going to find out from her later.

Javad sighed in relief from the top of stairs.

He smiled and wiped out the sweat off his face.

Ethan stared at Mrs Gabrielle, searching her eyes.

“You should know this Jessica… it is my money! And i would do whatever i want with it. Do never question whatever i use my money for again!” Ethan warned and also walked out of the scene.

“Jessica, it’s time you stopped all these. Do not make your hatred for Irish and her family get you into Ethan’s bad book, believe me, you’re not going to find it funny. Just quit troubling Irish, she’s not who we think she is, she’s far different, Jessica”, Mrs Harlow said and Jessi stared at her indisbelief .

Mrs Harlow walked back to the living room to continue the movie she was watching with Ethan.

Jessica can’t believe Mrs Harlow is starting to take Irish’s side too.

‘She must have enchanted her too’ Jessica thought and broke into another round of tears . She’s not as strong as she behaves, she breaks down easily.

“Come with me to the kitchen. Now” Mrs Gabrielle said sternly and Jessica limped after her.

She was still battling with the shock of Irene talking back at her.

She’s so gonna humiliate her brother tomorrow.

“There you are! Limping! But causing trouble all over the house” Mrs Gabrielle obviously in disapproval of Jessica behavior.

“Sit down and tell me who the hell told you about Mrs Helen” Mrs Gabrielle said and Jessica reluctantly sat down.

The aroma of the soup she was preparing waft through Jessica’s nostrils and she sniffed it, with her eyes closed.

“I’m waiting” Mrs Gabrielle said, resting her back on the kitchen counter, with her arms folded beneath her breasts.

Jessica stared at her mum mutely, seeing the determined look on Mrs Gabrielle’s face, she knows she can’t escape explaining. This is one of the few times Mrs Gabrielle is being strict on her.

“Thank you for covering up for me mummy” Jessica said, her voice sounding like that of a kid . She totally acts like a baby whenever she’s alone with her Mum.

“If you don’t tell me who told you, I’ll go back to Ethan and tell him i wasn’t the one who told you about Mrs Helen and trust me, you’ll have so much fun telling him who did” Mrs Gabrielle threatened.

“Mum!” Jessica pouted.

“Speak up Jessica” Mrs Gabrielle said and quickly checked on the soup she was preparing.

She had promised Javad not to tell Ethan, so telling her Mum does not mean she broke the promise.

Her mum wasn’t Ethan after all.

“Javad did” Jessica finally said.

“Ethan’s personal bodyguard?” Mrs Gabrielle was stunned and Jessica nodded.

“He did that because he cared about me, he was pained when i was called an opportunist cause im not, he wanted to make me see they are the real opportunists, not me” Jessica said.

All she said fell on Gabrielle deaf ears.

She wondered what was going on.

What is Javad trying to do?

She remembered when Irish told her there’s something fishy about Javad but she had denied then.

Now, it seems Irish is right.

Why had he told Jessica that, knowing Jessica and Irish are not in good terms.

He wants to create enmity?

And he almost made Jessica fall into Ethan’s bad book!

She really needs to keep a close eye on him from now just like Irish had suggested then. There’s definitely something wrong somewhere.

“Do not listen to whatever Javad tell you from now on okay?” She said to Jessica.

“Okay Mum” Jessica nodded.

“And whatever he tells you, come to me first before doing anything okay?”
