The sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the bustling city below. Jessica had always held a special fondness for sunny days-perhaps it was the way they made her skin shimmer like a diamond, or the feeling of warmth that enveloped her, boosting her confidence and charm.


    As she entered thepany building, Jessica exuded her usual air of prideful dominance, drawing admiring nces from the workers. She thrived on attention, basking in the mour that apanied her every move.


    With a regal stride, Jessica made her way towards Lady Storm’s office. She shed a dazzling smile as she greeted her, engaging in polite conversation as they exchanged pleasantries.


    “Good morning, Lady Storm,” Jessica said, her voice smooth and self-assured. “You look radiant today. How are you?”


    Lady Storm returned the smile, gesturing for Jessica to take a seat. “I’m doing well, Jessica. Thank you for asking. And you, my dear, always bring such a delightful energy to the office.”


    “Mrs Storm,” Jessica said sending two huge kisses down her cheeks. “You sent for me!” she confirmed her voice calcted as she waited for her next move.


    Mrs Victoria Storm was one of the most influentialdies in their country and as much she wore the position with so much pride and prestige wanting nothing short of the best for her and her family.


    “Aunty Vikky!” she corrected, motioning for Jessica to sit.


    “Tea?” Mrs Storm asked, picking up her telephone to make a request.


    “I’m fine Aunty,” Jessica replied her tone calm and stylish.


    “I sent for you because I am truly disappointed at your failure to get my son into bing yours,” Lady Storm sneered at Jessica her voice firm with a hint of frustration.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    “I tried but you know just how imprable Vincent could be,” Jessica replied in her defense her voice pitiable as she looked at Vincent’s Mom, “I love Vincent,” she added her eyes evident of grief.


    “I am sure you do but you just had to fail at getting him for yourself instead of the girl living in his house right now,” Lady Storm protested looking at Jessica in frustration.


    “You know I would prefer to have you as my daughter instead of her, she just doesn’t fit in,” she continued, her expression suddenly turning sour as the image of how pitiable Isabe looked lingered through her mind.


    “I would love that too but Vincent had tantly refused me after all I need to win him over,” Jessica asserted her eyes filled with pain at the Vincent in another’s arm making her heart bleed.


    “I don’t even know what he saw in her!” Lady Storm inquired her eyes searching for answers in the unknown.


    “Yeah! I wondered,” Jessica added biting down her lips in curiosity, ever since she got to know about Vincent’s marriage, the thought of knowing why Vincent had chosen Isabe over her always haunted her.


    She had sent for her information but was futile, as he couldn’t get her identity. “An who isdy?” Jessica inquired her tone evident of curiosity as she waited patiently for Lady Storm’s reply.


    “Her name is Isabe Casey, she is an uing actress.” Lady Storm announced, handing a sheet of paper to Jessica.


    “What! you mean Vincent left me for this!” she fumed pointing a the photo of Isabe. ” I just can’t believe Vincent chose an uing actress who acts in local movies instead of me,” she added as she red with fury.


    “I find it hard to believe myself,” Lady Storm attested her expression devoid of happiness.


    “This the worst level of humiliation, I have ever received in my life!” Jessica confessed her voice breaking as she felt a lump rise in her throat, she had been curious to know who her rival was and was not pleased, d, especially with the fact that he had turned her down so many times.


    “And even had to get married to her,” she continued, her expression a mixture of anger and pain as her voice disyed the anguish that rose deep within her.


    “Yes, they are,” Vincent’s mother admitted a hint of displeasure in her tone. “And they n on having a big wedding soon,” she confessed as she looked at Jessica in disagreement with what she had just said.


    “So do you want me to do?” Jessica asked her voice firm and unwavering as looked at Vincent’s mother with a wave of inquisitiveness in her eyes.


    “I want you to ruin their rtionship!” Lady Storm announced her voice evidence of desperation as she turned to Jessica.


    “But they are already married,” Jessica replied thinking of how best to carry out her newfound mission.


    “It doesn’t matter! you just toe in between them just like a shadow and ruin everything,” Vincent’s mother suggested as she looked at Jessica in approvement.


    “Or is that too difficult for you to do? I thought you loved my son?” she questioned suddenly bing irritated by Jessica’s withdrawal.


    “I just can’t let my only son get married to a nobody, Vincent is all I have got. I certainly can’t allow everything I and my husband had worked hard for to go to a lowlife nobody!” Lady Storm asserted her voice hard and rming as it etched with his frustration.


    She looked at Jessica frustrated. Carried away by her affection she stood from her seat suddenly disappointed


    “She is not fit to be my daughter-inw,” Lady Storm finally admitted as she stumbled back into her executive chair, now calm and collected as she nced a final look at Jessica who had been taken aback by her sudden disy.


    “Fine, then count me in!” Jessica announced, in a calm but firm voice as she let out a weird grin.


    “We have to be cautious, Vincent isn’t foolish. If we’re not careful, he’ll uncover our n, and he won’t go easy on us,” Lady Storm warned, knowing that her son was not someone to be taken lightly.


    “You don’t need to remind me,” Jessica replied, her tone confident and determined. “I know him well. If he were easy to obtain, I’d be his wife by now.” Jessica was prepared to face the challenge of winning Vincent’s heart, no matter the obstacles they might encounter.


    Lady Storm nodded, acknowledging Jessica’s resolve. “We must be strategic in our approach,” she advised. “Vincent is not only smart, but he’s also stubborn. If he senses any sort of maniption, he’ll shut us outpletely.”


    Jessica’s eyes sparkled with determination. “I’m well aware of his stubbornness, but I’ve waited long enough. It’s time for me to take the reins and steer our fate in the right direction. I have a n that will ensure Vincent sees me as the perfect partner, both in business and in life.”


    Intrigued by Jessica’s confidence, Lady Storm leaned in, eager to hear the details of her n. “Go on, Jessica. What do you have in mind?”


    With a sly smile, Jessica began to reveal her borate scheme, weaving a web of deception that would ensnare Vincent and bring him closer to her than ever before. As the n unfolded, Lady Storm listened intently, her own mind racing with the possibilities and the potential pitfalls they might face along the way.


    As their conversation continued, it became clear that their bond was strengthened by their mutual desire to see Jessica and Vincent together. But the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, and only time would tell if their efforts would bear fruit or leave them both in the wake of Vincent’s unforgiving nature.
