Chapter 4: Her revelation

Dylan loved Jessica very much, but Rosie was already back in his life. Rosie was gorgeous and, most importantly, slim and simple—the way he would have preferred Jessica to be.

So, it would be easy for him to carry Jessica up to his chest and make love to her while standing in their bedroom, whenever he was making love to Jessica.

But Jessica was too heavy for him to carry up now and to do all those crazy lovemaking styles that they used to do before. Because of her chubby body now, their sexual affairs as husband and wife had reduced and become dull. He couldn’t do all those fun things that he liked doing with Jessica anymore.

Jessica was also mostly preoccupied with housework and taking care of their two kids, and Dylan didn’t like how their fun moments had died down.

He found himself bullying Jessica every day about her chubby body, but Jessica typically smiled past it, not knowing that he was serious about it. Regardless of what he did to annoy Jessica, she would only smile and never got annoyed with him. This frustrated him as he couldn’t go out of their matrimonial home and cheat on her or get any random lady to sleep with either. It would ruin his reputation and his company if anyone who knew him saw him in a clubhouse or coming out of a hotel room with a random woman who wasn’t his wife.

Jessica’s father was also a billionaire in their state, a very influential man. Dylan knew that he couldn’t just cheat on Jessica and have the wild fun he always desired. But with Rosie back in the country, they had reunited.

Dylan visited Rosie at her home, and she told him that she was still single. She even encouraged him to divorce Jessica so they could be together again.

In Rosie's words: “Dylan babe, you’re not the first man to divorce his wife, and you won’t be the last man either. So please divorce that woman you have at home so that we can marry, as you promised to marry me before, since I was 16 years old…”

Dylan remembered that he was f*cking Rosie in her home when she told him about divorcing Jessica. He actually carried Rosie up on his chest, crossing her two slender legs around his waist, in that particular sex style that he loved the most.

Dylan agreed to divorce Jessica so he wouldn’t feel guilty about cheating on her. Rosie even helped him get the divorce papers ready. He couldn’t believe he was divorcing Jessica. He didn’t go to the divorce court or speak to his lawyer about it. He only gave Rosie his full name and his wife’s full name, and he hadn’t even read the divorce papers yet that Rosie had prepared.

Dylan still loved Jessica after all that she had done for him, and a part of him would rather not divorce her. Jessica had never done anything wrong to him before, aside from the fact that she had turned fat. She truly loved him and supported him to become the billionaire that he was today.

Dylan stepped out of the guest room where he had slept the previous night. Stepping into the living room, he saw his two kids playing and running around at that early hour.

The time was already after 8 am, and Dylan wondered what Jessica was still doing upstairs in their bedroom instead of preparing their kids for school and taking them there.

“Daddy! Daddy!” Caleb and Nina both rushed up to hug his legs when they saw him step out from the guest room corridor and into the living room.

Dylan carried Caleb up to his chest with his right arm and likewise Nina with his left arm, and he asked them, “No school today?”

Nina looked so much like Jessica with her pretty yellow face and cute chubby cheeks, while Caleb resembled Dylan with his dark skin and short black hair.

Caleb shook his head and replied to his father, “I don’t know, Dad…”

“Mm, okay, wait, let me find out from your mummy. And don’t play rough with your sister, okay? I’m coming back,” Dylan said as he proceeded to climb the living room stairs. He had sacked their last maid and mandated Jessica to do all the house chores alone, including taking care of their kids, as he didn’t want her just sitting lazily at home, leaving all the work to the maid.

Dylan went upstairs and walked into the bedroom, and he saw Jessica crying out on the bed in her dreaming state, calling his name loudly and screaming on the bed.

Dylan didn’t know when he rushed up to meet Jessica. He scooped her up in his arms and tried to wake her up from her dreaming state. “Jessica babe, it’s me, Dylan. Wake up, I’m here now, babe…”

Dylan shook Jessica visibly to wake her up as she kept calling his name and crying out, “Dylan, please don’t send me away, I’m sorry, Dylan. Dylan, please…”

“I’m here, babe, I won’t send you away. Wake up now, Jessica, I’m here presently…” Dylan didn’t know if it was one of Jessica’s tricks to make him not divorce her, but he hadn’t seen her in that state before, and it worried him as he finally woke her up.

Jessica’s forehead was covered in sweat, and likewise her face, as she had been crying in her dream and begging him. Until she heard his deep masculine voice so close to her ears, her eyes finally stared awake and looked up at his handsome black face in front of her, meeting his sharp blue eyes.

“Dylan…” Jessica slowly called her husband’s name to be sure it was really him. She stretched her right hand upward to touch his chin and fine jawline to be sure it was truly him and not a dream as she had thought.

Jessica caressed Dylan’s jaw and blushed as she met his strong blue gaze. She couldn’t believe he was there with her in their bedroom, remembering that he had left their bedroom the previous night, leaving her to sleep alone on their big bed.

Dylan saw that Jessica was finally awake as he met her unique blue eyes. He carefully sat her up on the bed and moved away from her, standing up and staring at her face coldly.

Dylan raked his short black hair in frustration as he met Jessica’s gaze.

She was embarrassed to know that she had cried all through the previous night and in her sleep, even crying out in real life as a result of the nightmare.

The dream seemed so real, and she saw Dylan throw her things outside. But as she kept crying and calling his name, Dylan finally came back to his senses and didn’t send her away. He got confused about the strange woman in their home, and the woman angrily left after Dylan refused to send Jessica away.

Jessica knew she had to consult her pastor to pray against any strange woman preparing to destroy her home and marriage. She looked at Dylan’s face where he stood beside their bed, raking his short black hair as he stared away from her.

His former gentle smile had turned strict again, and Dylan finally asked her, “Aren’t the kids going to school today?”

“The kids?” Jessica looked perplexed, completely forgetting about her two kids as she still sat on the bed in her white nightgown.

She used the hem of her nightgown to wipe off her sweaty forehead and tears, sniffed, and asked Dylan, “Which kids?”

Jessica saw Dylan’s expression harden as he asked her, “Our kids, Jessica? Aren’t they going to school today?”

“Oh! I forgot! They are already late,” Jessica jumped down from the bed, about to rush out of the bedroom. She remembered she wasn’t wearing any bra or pants and quickly walked back to the wardrobe to take out her undergarments and put them on, not minding that Dylan was staring at her.

Dylan still stood beside the bed. Jessica hurriedly took her jacket and wore it over her white nightgown before finally exiting their bedroom. She rushed downstairs to the living room to meet her kids, as their rooms were also downstairs on the second side of the mansion.
