Claiming Her Back novel (Jessica and Lucas) novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 

“Trissy, please don’t send any messages to Lucas late at night. He‘s my husband”

Trissy was Lucas’ first love, but she had married Lucas’ elder brother. These days, Triggy had been pestering Lucas all the time.

That troubled Jessica a lot, so she had to talk to Trissy in person, “Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don‘t have to worry. I will make him leave you” Trissy sneered, not taking what Jessica said seriously.

Today was Justin Thomas‘ 70th birthday. He was the CEO of Thomas Group, the best–known enterprise in Los Angeles.

Suddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden.

“Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell into the swimming pool!”

People hurried to the pool. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already jumped into the pool.

However, Lucas ignored his wife, Jessica, who was struggling in the water. Instead, Lucas carried Trissy to the ground and left without looking back.

People finally came to their senses too and followed Lucas to the villa.

After a long time, Jessica finally made it to the ground. People had all left. Nobody cared about her life at all.

Ever since married Lucas, Jessica had gotten used to being ignored by the Thomas family.

Jessica was about to go back to change her clothes, but she was stopped by Lucas at the stairs.

“You are so vicious! How could you push Trissy into the pool? Don‘t you know she‘s pregnant?” Lucas looked at Jessica coldly. Jessica’s whole body was drenched to the skin.

“How is Trissy? Lucas, listen to me. I didn‘t push her.” Jessica explained eagerly.

“Trissy lost her baby. Before she fainted, she said it was you that pushed her into the pool. I don‘t believe Trissy would lie.” Lucas said angrily.

“I didn‘t do that. Why don‘t you believe me?” With her eyes turning red, Jessica looked at Lucas sadly.

“Shut up! Keep your made–up story to Grandpa.” Lucas ignored the despair in Jessica’s eyes. He stood up and pulled Jessica’s arm, intending to take her to the meeting room.

Looking at Lucas’ tall figure from the back, Jessica felt she was overwhelmed by sorrow. She used to be so obsessed with Lucas, yet Lucas hated her so much.
