...Well, Mrs. Isabella, Mr. Harry will be fine, don't worry. I'm going to take off this dress and take a bath. You see it's stained with blood. I'll be right back, I'll stay up all night watching over him...
...Jessica left the room and Harry watched her go. He didn't understand how this woman, who just a few days ago had pushed him to the limit, was now so compassionate....
...Son, you couldn't have chosen a better wife. Jessica is one of a kind. Did you see how quickly she acted? She wasn't even scared of the bullets. She's so different from that Margaret...
...Mother, don't talk about Margaret. It makes me angry just hearing her name...
...Tell me something, Harry, do you still love that wretch? Look, Jessica doesn't deserve to be hurt. She is a real woman, not a treacherous fox...
..."No, Mother, I don't love her anymore, the woman who occupies my heart now is my wife," Harry said that to reassure his mother, but deep down he still had feelings for Margaret....
...Harry left his father's room and went to his study....
...He poured himself a glass of whiskey and decided to call Margaret. The time had come to execute the other part of his plan....
...📲 Hello Margaret....
...📲 Hi Harry, I knew you still loved me....
...📲 Margaret, I want to know what you would be willing to do for me to forgive you....
...📲 Whatever you ask, I swear....
...📲 Perfect. I'll see you tomorrow at the apartment we used when we were dating. I'll be there at 10:00 sharp....
...Harry hung up the phone with satisfaction. He would use Margaret just like she used him, and for that he also needed to use Jessica. When he finished the call, he called Mario into the study....
...Tell me, sir...
...Mario, were you able to find out who was behind the attack?...
...Yes sir, we caught one of the shooters and he said they were Mr. Oliver Thompson's people...
...😠😠😠😠 Damn dog, he'll never give up, my father almost died. I'm sure Margaret knew about the attack, that's why tomorrow I'll start the second part of my plan...
...Are you sure, sir?...
...More than sure. I'm going to make her fall in love with me just like she did with me. I'm going to make her betray Oliver Thompson, and after I've killed him, I'm going to leave her like she left me....
...And what's going to happen to Mrs. Jessica?...
...She will serve me to continue hurting Margaret, and after the contract is over I will set her free as I promised....
...Do you really feel nothing for her?...
...Why do you insist on that?...
...Because I've noticed a change in you since you married her....
...Right now I feel admiration for how brave she is. It amazes me that she's so strong, that she's not the typical woman who cries over everything. She treated my father like a professional doctor and I'll always be indebted to her for that, but that's all I can feel; besides, even if I felt something more, she hates me. Mario, I don't want to talk about this again. Jessica is my fake wife and she always will be....
...As you command, sir...
...One more thing, tell Jessica that she can't go out for a few days. She'd be an easy target for Thompson...
...I'll tell her, although you already know her, she doesn't like to be locked up. It will put her in a bad mood...
...Jessica took her computer to Mr. Harry's, her father-in-law's, room and started doing her homework....
...Mrs. Isabella, go and rest. I'll stay and look after Mr. Harry....
...Jessica, thank you so much for what you did. I'll be indebted to you. I hope my son will always value what a great woman you are....
...It's nothing, ma'am. I was just doing my duty....
...Thank you anyway, dear. I'm going to get some rest....
...At one o'clock in the morning, Harry left the study, for he did not want to sleep. His father's situation had affected him, although he pretended to be strong. His parents and grandparents were the most important thing to him, and to feel that he almost lost his father affected him; but he never allowed himself to appear weak. He always maintained his cold and cruel demeanor. He preferred to inspire fear rather than pity....
...When he arrived at the room, his nose was flooded with the scent of Jessica's perfume. He liked that smell. He had noticed that Jessica, although bad-tempered and bad-charactered, was a very neat, organized, and very feminine woman. She was always well-groomed and smelled very good....
...He decided to go into his father's room, and there she was, sitting on the sofa with her computer and a cup of coffee.....
...How's my father?...
...Good, he's stable. He's a strong man despite his age. If you have so many enemies they should be careful. This time they were lucky, but the impact could have been fatal...
...Jessica, how did you discover you liked medicine?...
...When my mother got sick, I saw how Jack's father took care of her and treated her with such dedication, let's say he was my inspiration....
...I see, so you and Jack have been friends for many years....
...Yes, since I was a little girl. Well, I'm sorry I can't continue the conversation but I have a lot of homework. In reality, she said that because she didn't want to talk anymore, especially not about her personal life, with Harry....
...Harry noticed how curt she was when talking to him and it made him uncomfortable. He went to his room and lay down to sleep....
...Early the next morning Jessica sent a driver for Jack....
..."Hey Jess," Jack said, giving Jessica a big hug, something Harry noticed and clenched his fists. He felt jealous, but didn't want to acknowledge it....
...Jack came in and confirmed that everything Jessica had done was fine and Mr. Harry was progressing very well....
...Jess, you did a great job. I'm very proud of you....
...Thanks, Jack....
...Jess, I have to go, I'm on duty at the hospital....
...Don't worry, I'll walk you to the door....
...Once outside, near the car, Jack stopped to talk to Jessica while Harry watched them through the study window....
...Jess, tell me something, were you there when they hurt that man?...
...Yes, it was at a casino, there was a shooting....
...And you were scared?...
...To be honest, yes, very much so, but I didn't show it to anyone....
...Jess, I'm worried about you, your husband doesn't have a good reputation and I don't want you to end up paying for his crimes....
...Don't worry, I'll be fine. It won't be long now until this blissful contract is over...
...Jess, it's only been 4 months since you got married, there's still a long way to go....
...Well, but time will fly by. Thanks for worrying about me, I love you very much...
...I love you too, Jess. You know you're like a little sister to me....
...Jack and Jess hugged for a long time, and this greatly annoyed Harry, who was still watching them.....
