The Secret Liaison by Jessie Marie Read Free Book Online

envelope with her name on it.  Jessica quickly pulled the envelope out and ripped it open; she silently cursed herself for waiting so long to go through her father’s things.  Inside was a bank statement from an account in the Grand Cayman Islands that was in her father’s name but listed her as the co owner.  Three years ago the balance in the account was a little over three million dollars. Jessica just stared at the paper in awe; she couldn’t believe that she had that type of money. 
    She didn’t understand why this money wasn’t covered in the will which already left her a significant amount of money and property.  Still holding on to the statement that solidified that she was rich Jessica pulled more papers out of the envelope.  There was a letter addressed to her that read
    My lil Jess
    If you are reading this than that means your old man has lost the great fight; I’m sorry darling.  I hate that we have both left you by yourself, but I hope that we have equipped you with the skills and assets to continue on without us.  I know you have now seen that you are a very wealthy lady. I didn’t include this money in the will because it is untraceable.  That is why it is in a Cayman account; keep your money over there safe from government scrutiny and the grasp of anyone whom you might marry in the future.
    I want you to know that your mother and I love you so much and I know you have a lot of questions that I refused to answer in life, but I will now answer in death.  I am not proud to say that I fell in love with another woman while I was married to your mother.  I loved this woman with everything that was in me.  At the same time I was very much in love with your mother as well.  My heart was split in two separate directions, but I would have never left Roberta. 
    What your mother told you was true, she could not have children so you are not her biological daughter, but you were the light that brightened her heart everyday; I’m sure you know this. I never wanted to hurt Roberta, but after she realized that she couldn’t have children she entered a level of depression that no matter what I did I couldn’t help her overcome it.  So I sought out affection in other places, namely Julia Brent.  At the end of the day Julia got pregnant by me and Joshua made her get rid of our baby.  She knew how much I wanted a baby but she didn’t care; it was more important to save her already damaged marriage. So you can see why I want you to steer clear of that family.  They don’t care about anyone but themselves.  I want you to live a happy and healthy life. Find a nice young man and settle down and get married.  But please know that your parents loved you with everything that they had in them and nothing else matters.  I love you my lil Jess.
    You Father
    Finishing up the letter Jessica felt more confused than when she was before.  She was feeling like the Brent’s and Dublin’s were keeping things about her life from her that she deserved to know.  Tears rolled down her face as she thought about her mother telling her the story about her father coming home with a baby.  Where did that baby come from? Who were her parents?  At thirty three some people could probably let this go, the millions of dollars are a huge incentive, but Jessica was tired of everyone else having a say so over her life. 
    She was gonna start fucking with their lives and see how they liked that.  Stuffing the papers in her purse Jessica decided she had seen enough.  Her mind was spinning a mile a minute and she truly had some decisions to make.  Some people were going to suffer if she didn’t get some answers.

That Political Life
