Chapter 63 Threesome (1/2)

Jessy walked into the study room unannounced. She found the Queen reading a wedding magazine. Margaret was indeed obsessed with the wedding preparation, and the bride to be wasn't interested even a tiny bit about the wedding, Jessy thought wryly to herself.

Margaret surveyed the young woman's face.

”Jessy, you're here?” she smiled.

”M-mother, I need to talk with you regarding your son Zain,” said Jessy.

Margaret got interested. ”Nice to know that we will be talking about my son. What is it?” she set aside the magazine to give her full attention to her future daughter-in-law.

The Queen motioned Jessy to sit on the sofa beside her.

Jessy obeyed.

”So, tell me, what about my son?”

Jessy beamed with confidence. She was sure that after the Queen know of Zain and Hannah's secret tryst she will be the one to stop the wedding herself.

”Your beloved son was having an affair with his assistant. I saw them naked inside his bathroom yesterday. That is another big reason why I don't want to get married to him. If he loves his assistant then they should be the ones to get married...”

The Queen smiled suddenly amused.

”Are you jealous?” she asked.

Huh? Jessy shook her head vigorously.

”I am not jealous! In fact, I am happy that they had a relationship together so that I won't be married to him at all,” she retorted.

The Queen rose to her feet. Her cool demeanor didn't even change at all.

”Don't worry about Hannah, she's not a threat to you. Onceyou and Zain will get married she no longer appears in the picture.”

Whoaaa! Jessy sighed. This isn't the reaction she was expecting from the Queen.

”Mother, do you still want me to go on with the wedding in spite of what I had discovered between them?”

Margaret laughed.

”Why? What's wrong? Men can make mistakes and also women. We all made mistakes one way or another. How about you? You have an affair with Adam as well, right? You and Zain are now even. It's a good thing actually, you both made mistakes outside the marriage. When you get married you will be absolutely perfect for each other, no more mistakes by then.”

Aargh! Jessy can't believe what she just heard from her...

”M-mother. You are impossible!”

Margaret continues smiling, to the point of irritating the hell out of the younger woman's ire.

”Come on, Jessy. It's just a minor mistake on Zain's part. If you have been much closer to him and you didn't deny him your time then he and Hannah would not have been intimate right now. It's much as your fault as it is of my son. So, please don't be stubborn, just go on with the wedding for two years, and if nothing happens with you and Zain, then you can go free your way.”

Jessy inhaled sharply and groaned.

”Okay fine. I will go on with the wedding!” she finally said.

Margaret's face brightened up with excitement.

”Fantastic! So we're okay now, this is good!”

Jessy gritted her teeth in anger.

”On one condition...”

The Queen's smile vanished instantly.

”What is it again this time?” she's frowning.

Jessy displayed an acidic smile on her face for the Queen's benefit.

”After the wedding, I will take Hannah to live with me and Zain in our new home.”

The Queen's eyebrows rose.

”No! You can take anybody as a companion, just not Hannah! What you're up to young lady?” she finally has given up not able to comprehend the girl's intention. It's just so plain absurd.

Then Margaret was silent for a while, the silence stretched to a few more minutes...occasionally she would stare at the younger woman's face and trying to delve into her mind.

Jessy welcomes the silence that engulfed them.
