After Five Years Of Marriage

2| Avoiding Jessica

Jessica was grateful that her two children were fast asleep in their separate bedrooms. They had been questioning her about where their father went and why he wasn't usually around in the morning when they were preparing for school.

Jessica could not believe that she had to lie to her two innocent kids that their father traveled for a business meeting. Meanwhile, Dylan didn't pick up her calls at all, and she didn't know where he went either.

Jessica entered their bedroom and was still holding the divorce papers in her hands. She saw Dylan stripping off his suit as he stood naked in their bedroom, wanting to take his bath.

Jessica gulped hard as her blue eyes came in contact with her husband's hard body. He might look like he isn't aging at all, but he has matured and is not the same man that she initially married five years ago.

Jessica remembered how her father had rejected Dylan. Her family had a personal hatred for poor people, and she had begged her family on his behalf and acted mad with her own parents just so they could approve of Dylan and accept him as her husband.

To support his business to grow, and now that he was already made—a billionaire too—they were blessed with two beautiful kids. Dylan was now talking to her about divorce and beginning to have a double mindset about their five years of marriage.

Jessica knew that marriage wasn't "a do or die affair." But she had tried to be the good wife that she could be to Dylan by waking up very early in the morning and preparing his breakfast by herself, as well as their kids. She had to prepare them very early in the morning to take them to school every day and to also go back to their school after closing hours to bring them home.

Jessica knew that she had paused her own life to help Dylan build his own life and their family, by training their two kids at home and becoming a full-time housewife. Now Dylan was telling her about a divorce and that their five years of marriage was over.

"Dylan," Jessica called her husband to gain his attention, and he turned around to face her after taking off all his clothes.

"What is it? Have you signed the divorce papers now?" Dylan asked as he stared at Jessica's face coldly.

"No, Dylan. We cannot divorce. I cannot agree to divorce you, and you know that I love you very much," Jessica replied, wanting to believe that her husband had previously spoken to her about divorce out of his drunken state.

She walked up to meet her husband and embraced him where he stood in the middle of their bedroom, trying to touch his hard, bronze-chiseled chest. But Dylan quickly caught her hand away before she could feel his hardness.

He shoved her hand down beside herself and told her, "You have no right to my body again, Jessica! The sooner you sign that divorce paper and leave, the better for you to return home to your father's house and find another man who will marry you."

"Dylan!" Jessica looked puzzled and heartbroken by her husband's statement as her blue eyes immediately turned red and welled up with hot tears.

She questioned him, "So you're cheating on me now, Dylan? That you can confidently tell me to leave and go back home to my parent's house and find another man who will marry me? Is that how much hatred you have for me now?"

Dylan ignored his wife's questions as he stood naked, aware of her eyes roaming over his bare body.

Dylan immediately walked away into the bathroom to bathe while Jessica stood speechless in their bedroom, still holding the divorce papers in her hands.

She missed her husband and really wanted him to make love to her, hoping that when Dylan returned home, he would apologize to her for where he had gone for two days. But instead, he was speaking to her about a divorce and telling her that she had no access to his body again, thereby depriving her of her conjugal rights.

Jessica looked at the divorce papers in her hands again as the bedroom bulb was still on and the room was painted white.

She walked up to their white bed headboard and kept the divorce papers there, safely on the headboard of their magnificent bed.

She stripped off her clothes and decided to join Dylan in bathing together, believing that Dylan was still joking and acting all this way because of his alcohol intake.

Jessica stripped herself naked and finally walked into the bathroom to join her husband in bathing, intending to torture him with the same level of torture he had just given her.

She was a thick yellow woman with a sharp pointed nose, blue sparkling eyes, and long golden hair on her head.

Jessica knew she had a very nice curvy shape even after birthing two beautiful children. She still looked cute and sexy curvy, as many mature men out there still wooed her and asked her out on dates, but she was a faithful woman who loved Dylan very much and couldn't cheat on him.

She had never looked down on Dylan before—not even when he was poor and managing himself.

She loved Dylan very much, supported him, and made love to him however he wanted it, as Dylan was a s*x freak, and they were already blessed with two beautiful children.

Jessica remembered that she had met Dylan at a fuel station where he worked as a fuel attendant. He sold fuel into her car on the first day they met. She quickly walked into the bathroom to join her husband before Dylan would finish his bath or step out from their bathroom.

Dylan was standing under the shower tap as he didn't usually use the white bathtub for bathing. When he saw Jessica walk into the bathroom to join him, her sexy body made him hard immediately.

Dylan quickly turned away from Jessica, hastening his bath and switching on the shower tap to rinse off his soapy body, even though he wasn't finished bathing.

Dylan rushed out of the bathroom as he didn't want to spend any more minutes there with Jessica, knowing that he would end up having s*x with her hard in the bathroom and wouldn't be able to resist her.

Jessica stood speechless in the bathroom and shook her head in sadness as she saw Dylan run out.

She murmured, "What's wrong with him? Why is he behaving like that?"

Jessica saw how Dylan had rushed out of the bathroom, and she walked up to the white bathtub to bathe instead, as she mostly used the white bathtub.

She entered the bathtub and started scrubbing her body.

Dylan walked out to the master bedroom and knew that he wanted to divorce Jessica simply because his first love, Rosie Andrew, was back in the country.

Rosie had visited him in his company, inside his office too, where she cried to him and said, "Why, Dylan? Why didn't you wait for me to return home first before you went ahead and married another woman after ten years of knowing me and proposing to marry me first?"

Dylan remembered that he had made a promise to Rosie in the past that he would marry her when he initially deflowered her. He was the first man to deflower Rosie, but he wasn't the first man to deflower Jessica either. However, Jessica was still a kind-hearted woman and the most genuine lady he had ever met.

No matter what he had done to make Jessica angry or to break up with him, she never got annoyed; she mostly overlooked everything.

He had told Jessica before that she couldn't keep going to work and ignoring taking care of him and their two children at home while leaving all the work to their maid. Did she want the maid to warm his bed too?

Jessica happily quit her job as a banker at a big bank to please him and became a full-time housewife.

Jessica's car got faulty in the third year of their marriage, after Nina's birth. The car couldn't work properly without a proper mechanical engineer to repair it. But Dylan refused to repair her car or replace it with a new one, even as he was a billionaire.

Instead, he bought a new car for himself to irritate Jessica and see if she would get annoyed and leave his house by divorcing him. But Jessica ignored him and managed her old car or used public transportation instead since he refused to buy a new car for her.

Jessica refused to leave his home; she went to repair her car. He reduced the amount of food money he usually gave her weekly to take care of their home and their two kids. He even told Jessica, "You are too fat now, Jessica. You should only eat once a day so you can lose weight. This money will be enough for you and our two kids; manage it. Don’t you watch your weight at all? Just two kids, and you're already looking like my mother's age mate."

Jessica smiled at him and replied, "But I'm still beautiful, Dylan, and you don't expect me to remain the same 22-year-old Jessica Albert you met before and married. I am 27 years old now, and it's expected that I have changed. Change is always constant. And even you too, my love, have changed; you look more mature and handsome now than when we initially got married. So you're also changing, my love."

Dylan frowned, knowing that Jessica knew how to smile through every difficult situation with him. She never got annoyed with him or nagged at him or looked down on him, nor did she compare him with other top-notch billionaires in their state. She mostly encouraged him never to give up in life, and he got frustrated trying to divorce the kind-hearted woman he had married.
