Accidentally Married

Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned to face Roselle who stood with hands on her waist. What was she going to say led her into the room in the first place? What was she searching for in the drawers and then in the closet? She knew she was going to get caught today.

It was her first time doing something of such and she was caught? And then some would say bad luck was nonexistent.

“What are you doing in here?” Roselle said again.

“Erm, I came in here to get something from Jessica that was originally one but I did not find it,” she said as she tried to walk past the woman who had used her whole frame to block the doorway.

“Please next time just ask the young lady to give it to you,” Roselle said.

“What do you mean by that?” Olivia said pretending to be angry. She was glad that her lie was bought but she needed to play the part to the end.

“Jessica is my niece. So are you insisting that I can not get something that is mine from my niece?” she asked as she prayed within herself that she was not doing too much and that she would be caught.

“That is not what I said,” Roselle said quietly. “The young master is a very conservative person and he hates it when people enter his room uninvited”

“But, you are in here aren’t you?”

“I am in here on my duties. I didn’t come in here to ransack the whole room looking for some imaginary thing” Roselle said letting her know that she did not buy her lie.

“Imaginary thing?” Olivia asked in a scoff.

“I will make sure that the young master does not know about your visit to his room today but as long as you make sure you never try to come in here when they are both away,” Roselle said.

For Olivia, it was a fair deal since she knew that Roselle could press further to know why she had come in there or she could access Xavier and tell him what she had done.

“I will ask Jessica when she gets back” Olivia added pretending to be unmoved by the fact that she was caught.

“Can I pass through?” she asked when Roselle made no move to leave the doorway. Roselle shifted her body a little so the woman could slip away.

Olivia hastened her footsteps before Roselle changed her mind about the situation. She wanted to put her trust in Roselle because if not she would be done for. There would be no way that Xavier would let her remain when she had acted like a thief.

“Now I have to start all over again” Roselle mumbled losing the closet door.

“That was close” Olivia said as she closed the door behind her and walked straight to her bed. Her plan to act as a thief and get what it was she wanted had fallen through and Jessica was not going to give her the money.

Whether she liked it or not she had to steal some clothes from their wardrobe to sell or else she was done for.

Jessica left the restaurant extra early because she could barely concentrate on what she was doing and she knew that Xavier would be there to pick her up even though she protested against it so vehemently.

She went straight to the grocery store. She was going to make a special dinner tonight to substitute for the missed lunch with Xavier today. She went ahead to get extra fancy seafood as she was going to be making a seafood platter and pasta.

When she had gotten the seafood she unfortunately ran into Emma at the checkpoint. Unlike the other times she had met Emma where she had this high-defense today, she was looking low and even smiled at her.

“Hey Jessica,” she said as she walked closer to her.

“Hey Emma” Jessica replied. She did not want to talk to her but she did not want to be rude either.

“Did Xavier tell him that I ran into him? It was when I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my little one was not stable so I had to get rid of it” she said trying to gain sympathy but something about the way her words were phrased gave Jessica an off feeling about the situation.

“So sorry about that,” Jessica said hoping that she could be done with the check out and walk out of their soonest.

The conversation was already getting too personal for her and she did not want that kind of relationship with Emma.

“I had to say good but without actually getting to meet it”

The way Emma kept referring to her baby as it made her feel the unkindness of the woman. How can a person be this way?

“Can you ring this up faster?” Jessica asked facing the attendant.

Emma felt her tummy twist but she had to keep on the show to win in the long run. “What about Xavier?”

“You will address Xavier as Mr. Delgado because he is not your friend and I don’t like you addressing my husband in such casual tones”

Emma wanted to scream out loud at her and tell her that she did not deserve whatever it was that she seemed to enjoy and that she would take it away from her soon enough.

“I am so sorry, I did not mean to offend you, I just wanted to make small talk since we were friends” Jessica could get the way her voice changed and how fake it was. The cashier could hear the fake, the men in the camping section could probably hear it too.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“I would not consider the relationship we share a friend kind of relationship and I hope you do so as well,” Jessica said pulling io the bags the cashier had prepared before she walked away.

She gave herself a mental head pat because she knew that Emma was boiling on the inside of her while she watched her walk away. She had done well and she knew it.
