The house owner, Jordan, gave a huge shock to Denver by refusing to kick Jessica and Derek out even though Denver offered a lot of money. Denver left as a frustrated man, thinking Jordan was just a foolish man who didn’t know the value of money.However, Denver had no idea that Jordan’s aim was not money but Jessica. He had developed so many feelings for Jessica over the years. She was the only woman he knew who never dated anybody and didn’t spread her legs for money. Everything about her made him want to bend her to his will. He wanted to make her his woman, even if it meant making life difficult for her. This was the reason he didn’t fix the broken pipeline in her house, so she would suffer. He didn’t care if she thought of him as psycho or something else. He only wanted her to come to him and obey him and bend to his demands.Right now, Jordan, who was old enough to be easily mistaken for Jessica’s grandpa, came to her house with a bag full of chocolates, biscuits, and all kinds o

Origin Casino. The oldest casino in the city.Derek had known about this casino well because it wasn’t too far from his house. Its owner Thomas Origins was a reputed gambler who would never send men after those who made good money in his casino, given no cheating was at play. And there were rumors that the cheaters would be thrown in the crocodile pool in the underground chambers of the casino.The guards stopped Derek. “Do you have more than 100 dollars?”Derek smiled and showed the cash he got. They silently moved away. He gave them a hundred dollars each, and they thanked him for it.“If I win, I’ll pay you more on my way out,” Derek’s words strengthened their smiles.At Russell’s house.The party had already started at five in the evening. Hundreds of people from the neighborhood flocked and enjoyed all the exquisite delicacies. There were more than fifty varieties of dishes to choose from. Even the most prideful eaters wouldn’t be able to taste all the dishes.Russell was made to

A couple of minutes earlier.Jessica’s eyes dazzled as she went to the food section. Just from the smells she could tell that there were more than ten different varieties of chicken dishes, and even more fish dishes. The beef roast with salt and pepper sprinkled over just made her drool. Without any shyness or hesitation, she started putting multiple varieties on her plate.Jennifer appeared out of nowhere and hissed, “You think this is your home? Eat only one or two items and leave.”Jessica’s entire mood was spoiled because of those harsh words. She didn’t even want to eat now, but she had already put some items on the plate, so she walked away without adding more items.A fat woman wearing a colorful saree joined Jessica. She was Madison. She lived in the very neighboring build and was very close to Jessica. “You shouldn’t even have let that dark-skinned woman inside. She just spoils my view.”“I would have long slapped her a hundred times, but I’ve been controlling myself because

Jessica didn’t stop, or rather, it was her heart that kept her feet in motion.Was being born poor her fault?She had worked hard in school, but she just couldn’t get the grades that would get her scholarship.She couldn’t fold her character to lick the boots of her superiors, and so she didn’t last long at any workplace.Even now, she couldn’t stay until the party finished.And again, nobody asked her to stay.“Maybe, I’m destined for this type of disastrous luck throughout this lifetime,” she told herself amid the sound of her own footsteps. But then the sound of someone else’s footsteps joined her.“Hey,” someone held her hand so strong her whole momentum was halted, and her back ended up hitting the person that just stopped her. “Ah, sorry.”His voice skipped Jessica’s heart. She straight away knew it was Russell. The only guy in the world she would give her everything away for. As she realized that he was still holding her hand, her heart melted. “R-Russell, what are you doing he

Kyra reached the rooftop in a rush, only to see Natasha in torn clothes and lying unconscious on the floor. It was a scene that surpassed her imagination.Moreover, Russell was holding what looked like a handkerchief.Kyra immediately pieced things together.“W-What the hell are you doing, Russell? Why is she…”Russell stood petrified, not just because of Natasha’s act but also because of Kyra’s timely arrival. “K-Kyra,” he tossed the handkerchief away. “It’s not what it looks like. I have done nothing to her.”Kyra looked at Russell with a disgusted look but then also took her mobile out and typed something. She was probably sending someone a text message, and that quickened Russell’s heartbeat.“K-Kyra, please trust me. I’m innocent. It’s Natasha who’s called me here,” Russell tried to explain himself.“I told you to get revenge, but not in this crooked way,” Kyra seethed. “This is the best you could think? Call her to the rooftop and tear her clothes? And then what are you planning
