Who is Jack? Paul couldn’t hold back. What’s going on here? Is Sam your daughter? Yes, Paul, forgive me. I didn’t tell you about it.
I was very scared. Let’s all calm down, interrupted Jessica a sensible Bob, and you’ll tell us everything. Then we’ll see what to do.
Grandma poured tea for her granddaughter and she began to tell what had happened a few months ago. Jessica Rose was coming home from work. She worked at the local post office.
What a meeting! She heard very close to her. She looked up. Jess often walked with her head down.
As long as she could see the road, she thought there was no need to look at anything else. She stood face to face with Jack White. W. What are you doing here? Jessica, pale, barely managed to say.
I came to visit you, my doll, the man with black hair said, bearing his teeth like a wild animal. You? Were you released? Early? Yes, baby, they reduced my sentence for good behavior. Are you happy? He roughly grabbed her hand.
Leave me alone. Jessica tried to break free, but Jack White’s hand felt like iron. No, you won’t get away that easily.
Have you forgotten what happened almost eight years ago, huh? But I haven’t forgotten. Jessica was scared. The man’s eyes were full of hatred.
It would be nothing for this man to kill her. He was probably even ready to go back behind bars just to take revenge on her. It happened almost eight years ago.
It was late July. The young people in the village loved to gather by the lake. That evening Jessica Rose was there too.
She rarely went to parties. She had no time for that. Right after school she had to get a job.
Her mother was seriously ill and her grandmother was already old. Jess didn’t know her father. Your father, my dear granddaughter, is like a male mosquito, her grandmother used to say.
Why? Little Jess asked in amazement. Because all he was good for was making you and nothing else. Jessica didn’t ask any more questions.
She didn’t want to upset her mother and she didn’t need to know. That evening her friend begged Jess to go with her to the lake. She had a crush on a visiting guy and wanted to get to know him.
For some reason silly Peggy hoped she would win his heart and he would take her to the city where they would live happily and richly. But things turned out quite differently. Yes, Peggy met the handsome Jack White, but he started paying attention not to her but to her friend Jessica Rose even though she had no interest in romantic relationships.
Girls, want some champagne? Jack asked the friends, holding a bottle of sparkling wine. I don’t mind, Peggy said sweetly. No, not for me, Jess crossed her arms.
Come on, Jess, don’t be so uptight, her friend nudged her in the side. They only drank one plastic cup each. Jessica didn’t feel much, but something strange began to happen to her friend, she literally started falling asleep on her feet.
We need to get Peggy home, Jess said worriedly. No problem, let’s take her, Jack offered to help. What’s wrong with her? Is it really the champagne? Unlikely, Jack lifted the almost asleep girl onto his shoulder and they started walking.
Peggy lived very close to the lake. Maybe she took something before? No, we came to the lake together, she didn’t drink anything. You can ask her when she wakes up, Jack smiled.
Jessie, let’s take a walk away from these idiots, Jack suggested after they took care of Peggy. You know, I’d better go home. I have to get up early tomorrow, the girl began to decline.
Come on, we won’t be long. He took her hand, Jessica felt a shiver run through her body. At 17, she still didn’t know what it was like to date a guy.
The girl really wanted to continue her studies and become a translator, but fate decided otherwise. She had to forget about her career when her mother got sick. She had to support the whole family and there was never enough money for anything.
Jack, I really have to go, Jessica said quietly. You’ll make it. Let me treat you to the best ice cream in the world.
The ice cream in our village is pretty ordinary and the kiosk is already closed. My aunt makes it herself. Come on.
It’s late. Aren’t you afraid of waking her up? Nah, she sleeps with earplugs to avoid the neighbor’s roosters, Jack laughed out loud. The ice cream was indeed incredibly tasty.
Oh, there’s mango syrup. Jack said cheerfully, taking a small bottle of orange liquid from the cabinet. Want some? Uh-huh, Jessica nodded, licking the spoon.
You’re so beautiful, Jack said softly, and the next moment he was kissing her. His kiss was passionate and demanding. Jess didn’t even have time to react to resist this persistent guy.
They lay on a mattress from the bed, thrown directly on the floor. You’re such a sweetie, Jess, I’m glad we managed to get rid of your friend. It’s great that I happen to have some sleeping powder.
What? You drugged Peggy? Jess sat up on her elbow. Well, sorry, baby, she was too pushy and I wanted to be with you. I have to go.
Jess stood up abruptly, throwing on her sundress. Where are you going? We had such a good time together. It was good for you, not for me.
It was painful and disgusting for me, the girl said. Then get out. If you don’t know how to enjoy intimacy, go read your books.
The guys were right, there’s nothing to catch with you. Jessica was choking with resentment and anger. How could she trust this arrogant city guy who only wanted one thing from her? She wished she hadn’t gone to the lake, that she had stayed home.
The next day Jessica reported Jack White. She didn’t care what people would say about her in the village, she wanted to punish this man who thought he was the king of the universe. In the end, Jack was imprisoned.
Other sins of his were uncovered, so the guy went behind bars for 11 whole years. Jessica was afraid he might come back for revenge. She hoped that by the time this scumbag was released, she would be living far away from her hometown, but that didn’t happen.
First, her mother died, and then Jess found out she was pregnant. She wanted to get rid of the baby, but at the very last moment, she changed her mind. Yes, it was Jack White’s child, this slippery guy, but the baby wasn’t to blame.
