Chap 29
YOU ARE MY SHADOW
Jessica’s phone rang. He grabbed the phone on the table and immediately stopped the alarm. Didn’t want to wake Lexi up.
Jessica slowly moved her husband’s hand away that hugged her waist. After that Jessica immediately got up and walked to the balcony. She did not receive a phone call from Chelsea.
There must be something important about why Chelsea contacted him. Jessica nimbly swiped her phone screen looking for Chelsea’s number and immediately called her.
” Hello, ” Chelsea greeted after picking up her phone.
“Hello, sorry that last night I could not receive a phone call!”Jessica kept her voice down because she didn’t want Lexi to wake up.
“Yes, I just want to tell you, Beryl is coming home next week, can you see her?” Chelsea asked. She couldn’t help much, including asking Jessica to always reply to messages from Beryl. She also did not want to become an intermediary between Beryl and Jessica.
“Beryl, is home?” Jessica so remembered the fate of the pendant given by her friend. Last night Lexi threw it just any, replacing it with a nicer pendant necklace according to his version.
“Yes, Beryl is home and wants to see you!”Chelsea said firmly. Jessica should have been strict and immediately told Beryl if she was married. No matter if it was a real or fake marriage, Jessica must tell the truth so that Beryl didn’t wait for her anymore.
“I’m afraid, Mr. Lexi will definitely not allow me!”Jessica edged. She was afraid that she would have to lie to her husband.
“Please, Jess, I will help you. If necessary I will take you to the main house so that Mr. Lexi believes,” Chelsea was persuading, she did not want Jessica to give up.
“Well, when was Beryl coming home?” Jessica had the idea that she could meet her friend without Lexi knowing.
” Sunday, ” Chelsea’s voice sounded very clear. There was an emphasis, hoping Jessica could see Beryl.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Good! I’ll let you know!”Jessica ended the phone call and turned around. It turned out that Lexi was already standing behind her.
“Who are you calling so early?” Lexi asked. His eyes were curious. He could see the fear on Jessica’s face.
“Chelsea,” Jessica answered honestly.
“Come here!” Lexi asked. He reached out his hand.
Jessica did not hurry, she was still standing and reluctantly complied with Lexi’s request.
“Are you just silent, Jess! Don’t you want to come closer and do sexual things with me?” Lexi was full of energy. Last night he was very tired, and this morning he wanted Jessica.
“What should I do?”Jessica swallowed. She couldn’t run away. If she stepped back, she could fall.
“To the room! Have you forgotten your duties and obligations!” Lexi continued to break forward. His right hand moved swiftly to reach Jessica’s waist. Then, he carried her inside his room. He put her on the bed.
“My husband, it’s almost morning!” Jessica said softly. She didn’t dare move as she took a breath.
“What’s wrong! I have the right to request it at any time! Morning, noon, evening or even midnight!” Both Lexi’s eyes were still looking at the wife. The look in his eyes was very sharp, as if he could strip her naked.
“But it’s already morning, we can be late for a meal together!” Jessica said. Honestly, their night and Lexi’s treatment made her reluctant. She would definitely be exhausted.
“It’s okay, I rarely even eat together with them!” Lexi said strictly. He spread his lips to the right, grinning.
“Then I will help maid cook!” Jessica slowly moved her body away from Lexi.
“There are many maids who can cook Jessica!” Lexi almost shouted.
“But,,”
“I do not like but,”
“It’s already noon, I’m ashamed of the sun!” Jessica bit her lower lip because she felt that the reason she said was absurd.
“You’re my wife Jessica!” Lexi embraced her wife’s tiny body. He kissed Jessica’s lips, slowly, softly, and deeply.
Lexi unlinked her lips. “Next time, I don’t want to hear any more rejection of Jessica! Do I have to remind you again about the fate of the orphanage? It’s all in your hands!” Lexi was furious.
Jessica was stunned again. The look on Lexi’s face looked angry, but the kiss on her lips was very gentle and able to make her float.
“Do not be silent! Do it!” he ordered.
Jessica didn’t know what Lexi meant.
“Take off my pants!”
Jessica couldn’t resist! She continued to follow Lexi’s instructions and orders! Until, on this beautiful morning, the newlyweds returned to their sweat bath, exchanging sweats.
Lexi was on top of Jessica’s body and hugged her tightly. He put your face on your wife’s chest.

At seven o clock, Lexi and Jessica went down to the dining room. There were two different faces visible and seemed clear.
Lexi smiled and was satisfied, he was very enthusiastic today. It was undeniable that Jessica’s presence brings a different color to her. He became more eager to do anything.
They were starting to get up in the morning. He went to work, innovated, and forged new profitable partnerships for the Ricardo Group and one of the things that made it so exciting. He was alone with Jessica in the room. Lexi widened her lips and smiled back.
Jessica looked gloomy. Until now, it still had not ceased to argue with itself. Even he still didn’t understand how to be willing to do this.
“Jessica, are you okay?” Mrs. Anna asked. She looked happy to see Lexi holding Jessica’s hand toward the dining room.
“Sure, ma!”Jessica said quickly as she sat next to Lexi.
“Mama seems to have to tell Cassandra about your marriage!” Mrs. Anna suggested. She did not like Cassandra who always called and often asked about Lexi’s condition. That sucked.
“No, Ma!” Lexi stopped.
“That’s why! It doesn’t hurt that people know about your and Jessica’s wedding!” Mom said obviously while enjoying dishes on her plate.
“I’m not ready, and Jessica is not ready either! I haven’t even talked about this to Anita’s family yet!” Lexi said, forced to carry the name of his former in-laws.
“If you’re upset, I don’t know what to say! You talk to Cassandra alone!” Mrs. Anna was breathing. This morning alone, Cassandra had already contacted him twice.
“What did he say, mom?” Lexi showed her attention. She wanted to make Jessica jealous.
“Tomorrow Sunday she asks mama and you to vacation together in Bali!” Her mom looked at Mr. Samuel, then lowered her head. He refused Cassandra’s invitation obviously because it would definitely hurt Jessica.
“Let’s go to Bali!” Lexi was excited. By taking Jessica to Bali he could prevent his wife from meeting Beryl.
“I’m at home mom! Cassandra would have suspected I was coming!”Jessica seemed to get a breath of fresh air. Even if it was a day and a night, at least she could be free from Lexi. She could meet with Chelsea and Beryl freely.
“Who let you in this house alone? You’re my wife, you’re my shadow! You, you’re supposed to come with me wherever I go!” Lexi said gently, grabbing Jessica’s fingers. He performed the play in front of his parents. He told her that he loved Jessica.
‘Mr. Lexi, you seem to be very good at acting!’
“Okay Jessica and Lexi, we are going to Bali and mama will make sure Cassandra doesn’t find out about your relationship, and you can vacation there too. Got it?” Mrs. Anna was trying to be a good friend to Jessica and Lexi. He did it because he wanted to have grandchildren. If it could, Jessica would get two lines as soon as possible.
“But,” Jessica remembered her promise to Chelsea. She got to explain everything to Beryl.
“I don’t like rejection!”
Lexi brushed aside Jessica’s hand, starting to wonder about a man named Beryl? How far is Jessica related to the pendant given?
“We are on holiday in Bali. Okay?!”
Mrs. Anna glanced at Jessica, seeing disappointment on her daughter-in-law’s face.
“Didn’t you ask for your honeymoon last night, my wife? Let’s just say our holiday to Bali this time is our honeymoon? How?” Lexi said quickly.
Jessica just nodded. Lexi didn’t allow her to talk.
