Chapter 2: Avoiding Jessica

Jessica entered their bedroom still holding the divorce papers in her hands and saw Dylan stripping off his suit, standing naked and preparing to take a bath.

She gulped hard as her blue eyes met her husband's hard body. He might look as if he isn't aging at all, but he had matured and was not the same man she initially married five years ago.

Jessica remembered how her father had rejected Dylan, as her family had a personal hatred for poor people. She had to beg her family on his behalf and act mad with her parents just so they would approve of Dylan and accept him as her husband.

She had supported his business to grow, and now that he was already successful and a billionaire, and they were blessed with two beautiful kids, Dylan was now speaking to her about divorce and beginning to have a double mindset about their five years of marriage.

Jessica knew that marriage wasn't 'a do-or-die affair.' But she had tried to be the best wife she could be to Dylan. She would wake up very early in the morning to prepare his breakfast herself, as well as for their kids. She had to prepare them very early in the morning to take them to school every day and still go back to their school after closing hours to bring them home.

Jessica knew she had paused her life to help Dylan build his own life and their family by training their two kids at home and becoming a full-time housewife. Now Dylan was telling her about a divorce and that their five years of marriage were over.

“Dylan,” Jessica called her husband to gain his attention. He turned around to face her as he had taken off all his clothes.

“What is it? Have you signed the divorce papers now?” Dylan asked as he stared at Jessica's face coldly.

“No, Dylan. We cannot divorce. I cannot agree to divorce you, and you know that I love you very much,” Jessica replied, hoping that her husband had previously spoken to her about divorce out of his drunken state.

She walked up to him and tried to embrace him where he stood in the middle of their bedroom, naked. She tried to touch his hard, bronze, chiseled chest, but Dylan quickly pushed her hand away before she could feel his hardness.

He shoved her hand down beside her and told her, “You have no right to my body again, Jessica! The earlier you sign those divorce papers and leave, the better for you to return home to your father's house and get another man who will marry you.”

“Dylan!” Jessica looked puzzled and heartbroken by her husband's statement as her blue eyes immediately turned red and welled up with hot tears.

She questioned him, “So you're cheating on me now, Dylan, that you can confidently tell me to leave and go back home to my parents' house, and get another man who will marry me. Is that how much hatred you have for me now?”

Dylan ignored Jessica's question, feeling her eyes all over his bare body and his member.

He walked away into the bathroom to bathe, while Jessica stood speechless in their bedroom, still holding the divorce papers in her hands.

She missed her husband and really wanted him to make love to her. She had hoped that when Dylan returned home, he would apologize for where he had been for the past two days. But instead, he was speaking to her about a divorce and telling her that she had no access to his body anymore, depriving her of her conjugal rights.

Jessica looked at the divorce papers in her hands again under the light of their bedroom, which was painted white.

She walked up to their bed's headboard and placed the divorce papers there, safely on the headboard of their magnificent bed.

She stripped off her clothes and decided to join Dylan in the bath, believing that Dylan was still joking and doing all this out of alcohol intake.

Jessica stripped herself naked and finally walked into the bathroom to join her husband, intending to torture him with the same level of frustration he had just given her.

She was a thick, full-figured woman with a pointed nose, blue sparkling eyes, and long golden hair.

Jessica knew she had a very nice curvy shape even after giving birth to two beautiful children. She still looked cute and sexy, and plenty of mature men out there still wooed her and asked her out on dates. But she was a faithful woman who loved Dylan very much and couldn't cheat on him.

She never looked down on Dylan, not even when he was poor and struggling.

She loved Dylan very much, supported him, made love to him however he wanted, as Dylan was a sex freak, and they were already blessed with two beautiful children.

Jessica remembered meeting Dylan at a fuel station where he worked as a fuel attendant. He had sold fuel to her car on the first day they met. She quickly walked into the bathroom to join her husband before Dylan finished his bath or stepped out of the bathroom.

Dylan was standing under the shower tap as he didn't usually use the white bathtub. He saw Jessica walking into the bathroom to join him, and her sexy body made him hard immediately.

Dylan quickly looked away from Jessica, hastening his shower and rinsing off his soapy body even though he wasn't yet done with his bath.

He rushed out of the bathroom, knowing he didn't want to spend any more minutes there with Jessica. He would end up making love to her in the bathroom and wouldn't be able to resist her either.

Jessica stood speechless in the bathroom and shook her head in sadness as she saw Dylan run out.

She murmured, “What's wrong with him? Why is he behaving like that?”

Jessica saw how Dylan had rushed out of the bathroom and walked up to the white bathtub to have her bath, as she usually used the white bathtub instead.

She entered the bathtub and started scrubbing her body.

Dylan walked out to the master bedroom, knowing he wanted to divorce Jessica simply because his first love, Rosie Andrew, was back in the country.

Rosie had visited him in his company, inside his office, where she cried to him and said, “Why, Dylan? Why didn't you wait for me to return home first before you went ahead and married another woman, after ten years of knowing me and proposing to marry me first?”

Dylan knew he had first made a promise to Rosie in the past that he would marry her when he initially deflowered her. He was the first man to deflower Rosie, but he wasn't the first man to deflower Jessica. However, Jessica was still a kind-hearted woman to him and the most genuine lady he had ever met.

Regardless of what he had done to annoy Jessica or break up with him, Jessica never got angry. She mostly overlooked everything.

He had told Jessica before that she couldn't go to work and ignore taking care of him and their two children at home, leaving all the work to their maid. Did she also want the maid to warm his bed?

Jessica happily dumped her job as a banker at a big bank and became a full-time housewife just to please him.

Jessica's car also got faulty in the third year of their marriage, after Nina's birth. The car couldn't work properly without a proper mechanical engineer to repair it. But Dylan refused to repair her car or replace it with a new one, even though he was a billionaire.

He rather bought a new car for himself to irritate Jessica and see if she would get annoyed and leave his house by divorcing him. But Jessica ignored him and managed her old car or used public transportation instead since he refused to buy a new car for her.

Jessica refused to leave his home, and she went to repair her car. He reduced the amount of money he usually gave her weekly to take care of their home and their two kids. He remembered telling Jessica, “You are too fat now, Jessica, and you should be eating only once a day so that you can lose weight. This money will be enough for you and our two kids, as you manage it. Don't you watch your weight at all? Just two kids, and you're already looking like my mother's age-mate.”

Jessica smiled at him and replied, “But I'm still beautiful, Dylan, and you don't expect me to remain the same 22-year-old Jessica Albert that you met and married. I am 27 years old now, and it is expected for me to have changed, as change is always constant. Even you, my love, have changed. You look more mature and handsome than when we initially got married. So you're also changing, my love.”

Dylan frowned, knowing Jessica knew how to smile past every difficult situation with him. She never got annoyed with him, nagged at him, looked down on him, or compared him with other top-notch billionaires in their state. She mostly encouraged him to never give up in life, and he got frustrated about how to divorce the kind-hearted woman he had married as his wife.
