Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 132: No, it can’t happen...

Jessica quickly slid into the waiting car parked in front of the house. But before the door shut completely, she turned her head and looked up at the window of their bedroom. As expected, Davis was sitting there, watching her leave. A smile tugged at her lips. She raised her hand and blew him a kiss, her heart swelling with warmth.

It felt really good. This sense of being cared for, of knowing someone was waiting for her to return. She had been alone for so long that even the smallest act of affection from Davis touched her deeply.

Just as the car began to move, her phone vibrated with a message. She opened it and saw Davis’s name pop up on the screen.

"Babe, have a nice day and come home quick. The house feels so empty without you."

Jessica shook her head lightly, her heart fluttered at his words and she let out a soft sigh. She could already imagine his serious face when he typed out the message. A smiled crept up her lips.

She clicked off the screen and placed the phone beside her. Her gaze turned to the driver, who seemed completely focused on the road ahead. He nodded at her through the mirror.

"Ma’am, we’ll take the regular route today unless there are any changes. Security has been notified and a backup team is on standby," he said.

"Alright. Just keep it smooth and don’t stop unnecessarily," Jessica replied calmly.

She leaned back into the seat, suddenly feeling drained. Reaching for her backpack beside her, she unzipped it and searched for an already prepared face mask.

She wouldn’t want to take chances so it better to have mask on. She had always gone on the incognito not attracting unnecessary attention and the same it is for today.

With the mask on, she turned her eyes to the window and watched the passing buildings, sceneries and the early morning bustle. Her mind slowly drifting far away as a tidal wave of anxiety washed over her.
