When she got home she was too tired and went to her room instantly not bothering to wake her family up.
As the sun rose once more, Jeslyn awoke to the gentle rustle of the wind through the trees and the sweet melody of the birds' morning song. She stretched her limbs and smiled, relishing the peaceful moment. The day promised to be a beautiful one, and Jeslyn was eager to embrace it with open arms.
She got on her feet and walked to the bath took her bath brushed up her hair and got dressed, she came downstairs when she was done.
"Good morning, Mom!" Jeslyn chirped, her voice bright and cheery. Her smile was as warm as the sun's rays, reflecting the happiness she felt to be spending time with her beloved mother.
Her mother also smiled at her. "Morning dear, how was the party did you enjoy yourself?".
"Yes Mom" she replied and embraced her from the back.
Mrs Murphy noticed that her daughter had been snuggling lately but she did not say anything, she just left it like that because she also loved it.
She patted her back. "Come on and eat".
"Mom I have something to tell you, will you believe me" She sat her mother down and massaged her shoulder, her mother thoughts that she wanted to ask for something but instead she said something different. "Mom please don't overwork yourself, go to the spa sometimes, and enjoy yourself with others I will do the hard work leave it to me, I don't want to lose you mom, I care and miss you so much".
Mrs. Murphy grins, her daughter is now mature, she is no more arrogant, and she loves this new daughter of hers. "It hurts me to hear you say that, don't over work yourself ok, get some rest sometimes, or else Mom is going to be sad".
She nodded and hugged her again, both of them were happy.
"Why are you two hugging should I also join in the group hug". Andrew said and hugged them.
Jeslyn smiles, she is surely going to protect her family, and if anybody should get hurt it should be her and not her precious family. 'I love you' she murmurs to herself and kisses Andrew's cheek.
"Uh, that's disgusting". He wipes his cheek.
She giggled, she had missed this behavior of her naughty brother.
She leaves for work with her father.
"Jeslyn let me see you for a second".
"Ok Dad". She responds and follows him to his office. Both of them sit across each other, and jeslyn knows that her Dad wants to have a very serious discussion with her.
"I have arranged for a date for both of you, although your happiness is what matters, but in other to make everybody accept you, you need a very strong backing".
Back then when her father told her this she thought that he wanted to sell her out since she was useless, but now she knows better than that, that he was trying to help her instead.
"OK Dad, tell me the time and the location I will be there".
Her father smiled and sent her the location before she went to her office. Holly came in and bowed. "I am sorry madam".
"Do your job better next time, I hate mistakes". She replied coldly not giving her face, she would have been reprimanded if she had not seen the email on time so she had to scold her.
Holly left the office and back to work. As jeslyn was working on she received a message from Camilla, she sighed and looked at it.
'jeslyn I am sorry please can we meet up'.
She chuckled as she read the message and replied instantly 'Sure meet me in...' She sent the location of where she was going to meet Franklin.
'let me help you two so that you can meet each other quickly so that I can ruin you together '.
She continues with her work.
******
In Nathan's office.
"Mr McDonald's here is all the information about her". His assistant Theo said putting the file down.
Nathan picked up the file and smirked as he read every piece of information about her. "So interesting ". He put the file down and looked at his assistant. "Is there anything you are not telling me". He notices the trouble in his eyes
"She is meeting up with a man today.... I think that it is a date".
"Which time and the location". He picks up his jacket and walks out of the office before he can talk. Theo ran after him and drove him to the place.
Nathan waited in the corner, his heart beating faster with each passing moment. He couldn't wait to see her again, to be in her presence and bask in her radiant smile. His mind was filled with memories of last night her gorgeous body and a red lip, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness as he anticipated her arrival. He had been imagining her naked and begging her to stop, he did not know whether it was lust or he liked her because he had not felt like this about any girl.
....
As Jeslyn made her grand entrance, Franklin's breath caught in his chest. She walked in majestically, her chest held high and her full breasts swaying with each confident step. Her presence was nothing short of captivating, and Franklin found himself completely enraptured by her allure. It was clear that Jeslyn knew how to make an impression, and Franklin was utterly smitten.
She smiles and sits down. "Did I make you wait for too long I am so sorry".
Franklin is short of words with the scenes he saw earlier he is so impressed by her.
While Nathan who was in the corner still did not have a clear mind his heart skipped a beat as Jeslyn made her grand entrance. Her beauty and grace were captivating, and Nathan knew at that moment that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. His determination was unwavering, and he was ready to do whatever it took to make Jeslyn his wife. As he watched her glide into the room, his mind raced with possibilities and his heart overflowed with love.
"Not a problem, Would you like to make your orders I ordered some food before you came, but I don't know if it is to your taste". Franklin said like a gentleman that he was trying hard to be.
Jeslyn picked up the menu the cute smile did not leave her face as she took her orders.
"You are so stunning" he complimented her Franklin couldn't help but be struck by her breathtaking beauty. he breathed, his words were sincere and genuine. The way she held herself, the sparkle in her eyes, the radiant smile that lit up her face—Franklin was completely enamored. He knew that Jeslyn was a rare gem, a woman of grace and elegance.
"Thank you". She replied calmly and did not say anything or make any attempt to compliment him back.
He smiles awkwardly. "I saw the way you were looking at me the day we first met, and I know that, you should have known your father by now, let just get married and get back at your father. Let's ruin him completely, I promise to take care of you and give you everything that you will need". He makes all kinds of promises just like did in her precious life, it is like he remembers every word.
She chuckled. "You are still the same man than I know".
"What did you mean Miss Murphy".
Jeslyn did not say a word and picked up a juice and threw it at him. "Don't you dare talk about my Dad like that again".
Camilla who was at the door looking at them waiting for jeslyn to do this, found the right moment to come in and hold jeslyn hand. "Jeslyn I thought that you had changed and I wanted to apologize to you so much I did not know that you are still the same jeslyn that I know". She acts like a heroine coming to save the prince, we have heard about the prince saving the princess, not the villain saving the prince.
Camilla put up a lot of thoughts before coming to save Franklin, Camilla's heart skipped a beat as she laid eyes on Franklin from afar. His broad shoulders, chiseled jawline, and piercing gaze left her mesmerized. She knew that climbing into his bed could be the beginning of something life-changing, and the thought sent a thrill through her body. So she comes to his rescue.
Franklin pushed Camilla away and jeslyn burst into laughter. "This is so fun".
"Woman doesn't come here and act as if we are lovers, I know people like you".
Jeslyn can't help but laugh again. "Camilla is your lover? Let her help you".
"Jeslyn stop it you can't treat the man that loves you like this". Camilla said in his defense again.
"This is no more fun, just hug each other and get away from my face". Jeslyn knows Camilla very well, she knows that she is not going to leave Franklin now that she has met him, and she will stick to him.
Nathan watched Jeslyn from afar, a proud smile curving his lips. He couldn't help but chuckle at her cunning ways, mesmerized by her beauty and charm. Jeslyn had a way of capturing hearts and minds, and Nathan was no exception. He knew that she was the one for him, and his determination to make her his wife only grew stronger as he witnessed her enchanting Franklin with her grace and allure. It was clear that Jeslyn was a force to be reckoned with, and Nathan was more than willing to embark on this journey with her. he was sure that she is playing games with them and that is also what he loved the most.
Franklin can't be patient again, he hates the way jeslyn is making fun of him he holds her wrist. "Did you think that I am a joke to you, I want to be with you, don't you see how your father is treating you, I promise that I am going to help you to gain your respect back". These are the words that he used to win her heart then but now it mean nothing to her again she is no more a lost child that yawns for love and care.
Nathan also stood up and pulled her to himself. "Marry me instead I promise to give you more than that.
Jeslyn fell into Franklin's embrace, she felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over her. His strong arms wrapped around her, cocooning her in warmth and safety, as if she had finally found her true home. She was completely captured by his handsome features, unable to tear her gaze away from the ruggedly handsome man before her. She was confused 'Why did this man keep crossing my path'
