knowing the truth
Jessica stared at the two blue lines of the pregnancy test in her hand. Supposedly, this would be good news if she hadn’t heard anything disturbing.
Then, she threw it in the trash with a feeling of anger that blended in the heart. Not without reason, Cassandra’s question kept ringing and made her experience a bad mood all day.
If Jessica had asked Lexi about it, she wouldn’t have admitted it. Especially for Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel, Lexi’s parents, who already want grandchildren who care about their feelings and hearts, what they care about was immediately getting a grandchild, as the heir to the Ricardo Group as soon as possible.
Jessica slowly stepped out of the room. She’s looking for the maid and was going to borrow a cell phone from one of the two men.
Jessica called out to the maid who was busy cooking dinner.
“Yes, miss, What is it?”the maid asked. She was close to Jessica because he was almost the same age. The maid was one year older than Jessica.
“Can I borrow your phone?” Jessica asked.
“Sure.” The maid took out the phone that was in her apron and gave it to Jessica. “This Is Miss,” she said as she gave her phone to Jessica.
“Oh yeah, where is mom?” Jessica asked, looking for the whereabouts of her mother-in-law.
“Mrs Anna went with Miss Cassandra. Maybe it’s dinner time!” the maid said. “You were still sleeping, so she just told me to tell you!” She didn’t want to misunderstand Jessica.
” Yes, I know, ” Jessica nodded her head. “I borrowed your phone!”
“Yes, Miss.”
Jessica entered the room. She didn’t forget to lock the door. She immediately walked to the balcony with two mobile phones. One was her and one was the maid’s. Then, she searched for secretary Arsene’s number and started making phone calls.
“Hello,” Arsene said on the other side of the phone. Unusually he received a phone call from a number that is not in his phone book.
“Hello, Secretary Ken, it’s me Jessica!” Jessica said. Yes, in this matter she trusted Arsene more than Lexi and all her family members.
Jessica was still waiting, perhaps the secretary was talking to her husband. Arsene went away so that Lexi would not hear his conversation.
“Yes, miss, what is it? Is there anything I can help you with?”Arsene said politely.
“Can we talk both! I have something to ask you!” Jessica asked in a serious tone of voice that Arsene was reluctant to refuse.
“Wait a minute miss, I’ll talk to Mr. Lexi, I’ll let you know soon!” Arsene said.
“Okay, I’ll wait.” Jessica ended the phone call. Then she sat on the balcony, waiting for news from the man she had just called.

“So how did you find out about Jessica and her parents?” Lexi asked. It remained to be hoped that Jessica had nothing to do with Daniel Kim. They may have been misinformed when looking for family members. Lexi really hoped that would happen.
“Most likely Jessica is indeed Daniel Kim’s younger sister! Twelve years ago, Daniel Kim’s parents had an accident. Three people died, one of them was the last daughter of the family named Elsa Daniar Kim. However, the body of the little six-year-old girl was not found!” Arsene’s light from his investigation so far.
“What are Jessica’s parents ‘ names?” Lexi asked. He looked down with a trembling body. Time was running backwards, he didn’t know when the Kim family would take Jessica away from him. One week more? One month more?
“Darren Kim and Marisa kim. Both had already died twelve years ago in successive accidents!” Arsene replied. He couldn’t imagine Jessica’s reaction if Jessica knew the truth. The parents he had always wanted to see were dead.
“What do you think I should do? Should I arrest Jessica or should I let her go back to her family?” The tightness in Lexi’s heart did not diminish at all.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Just when Arsene wanted to answer, he got a phone call. When he refused the phone call, Lexi told him to pick it up.
Lexi said, “Pick up the phone from your wife!”
Arsene did not want to receive a phone call. Finally, he walked away and received a phone call from an unknown number. Arsene came out of his office.
After a while he returned to his office.
“Kania asked you to come home early?” Lexi guessed. That’s usually what Kania wanted when she called her husband at work.
“Yes,” replied Arsene lying.
“Go home! Don’t forget to keep investigating everything about the accident! And don’t forget to send me my work schedule for tomorrow!” Lexi told. The work was done, and he also needed his own time.
“Really? Can I go home now?” Arsene asked.
“Yes!”
Arsene rushed to his desk. He tied up the files on the table. He didn’t forget to turn off your laptop and packed your personal belongings. He put it in a bag.
“Good sir, I will immediately send your work schedule for tomorrow! If something comes up, call me immediately!” Arsene lying to Lexi was awkward, made him misbehave.
“I will always call you!” Lexi chuckled.
“Yes, Sir!”
The man left the room. He walked towards the parking area and immediately run his four-wheeled vehicle to Ricardo’s family residence.

“Hello,” Jessica said on the other end of the phone.
“Miss, I’m on my way! Where do we meet?” Arsene asked. Lexi could be furious if he found out he was meeting Jessica secretly.
“Now, at home. Mom and dad aren’t home!” Jessica answered.
“Alright miss, I can’t longer because in less than an hour Mr. Lexi will also go home!” Arsene glanced at the watch that was on his right wrist.
“Ok, I’ll wait!”
Jessica ended the phone call. Then, she immediately returned the maid’s cell phone. Next, she waited for Arsene’s presence on the front house
In less than thirty minutes, Arsene arrived at Ricardo’s home . He rushed out of the car. He didn’t care if he lied to Lexi. He would have loved to meet Jessica but not meet secretly like this.
With quick and wide steps, he approached Jessica, who was waiting for him on the porch. Her face was clearly visible. A lot of things she was thinking about.
“Miss, What do you want to talk about? I can’t longer here, because I didn’t tell Mr. Lexi that I was coming to see you!” Arsene looked worried. Let’s see what Jessica had to say. About Daniel Kim? His family? Or both parents?
“This is about my husband, and I know only you know about it,” Jessica said.
“About what?”Arsene insisted, kept glancing at his watch.
“Is it true, Lexi just pretended to love me? Just to get a baby?” Jessica closed her eyes. She was preparing herself to hear the worst.
“Please answer honestly. I know Secretary Arsene knows everything!” she insisted.
“In the past, it was like that! However, all I know now is that Mr. Lexi loves Miss Jessica very much,” Arsene told honestly.
“Before, when was that?” Jessica asked.
“Before Miss Jessica, had an accident.” Arsene only hoped that his honesty would be good for Jessica. She couldn’t force Jessica to stay with Lexi.
Lexi. It’s in Jessica’s hands and the truth can’t be hidden no matter how much Lexi tries to hide. Jessica would know.
“Thank You, Secretary Arsene, for being honest! I won’t tell my husband!”
“Yes, miss, my pleasure.”
“Now you can go home!” Jessica got out of her seat. She went inside the house, and just pass by in front of Arsene.
