Confinement

There's a new picture in the lobby.

It was big and it's impossible for anyone not to see it.

It's Seth and sitting on the chair with his gray tux and Jessica wearing a white dress sitting on his lap, smiling at Seth while her two hands on Seth's neck.

Seth is smiling at Jessica and feeding her a cherry so his hand is raised up and the cherry is touching Jessica's lips.

It's very romantic and sexy.

Like a picture you will put promoting a romance movie.

It was framed and displayed in the lobby. The moment you open the door, you can see it perfectly.

Jessica is resting her head on Seth's shoulder.

She is happy that her wish has been granted but she only wanted a normal sized picture frame. Not that gigantic one in the front.

But she can't complain since she was flattered that Seth will do so much for her.

"Boss, there are police officers outside."

Seth frowns.

"What?"

Jessica looks at Seth who received the call.

Jessica rubs her head on Seth's cheek.

"What is it?" She lazily asks.

Seth looks at Jessica and rubs her hair.

"Stay here." He said.

***

Seth walks to the receiving area where the police officers are waiting.

Seth has four large guards behind him.

He looks at the officers and two women.

"Sir Vastian, hello, we are police enforcers from Xx precinct. We came here after receiving a report that you are confining a woman against her will."

Seth looks at the timely wails of cries of the two women.

"You shouldn't do that just because you are rich. We are Jessica's only relatives. I am her Mother. Please let her go." The old woman said as she collapsed from exhaustion and tears.

The other woman also followed and kneeled.

"Mother, hang in there mother. We will see my older sister soon. Please….please don't give up."

Seth looks at his butler.

The butler nods and asks guards to make them stand up.

"Please do not ruin the carpet. It is very expensive." The butler said.

The mother and daughter blush in embarrassment.

The two police officers also told them to stay civil.

"So you came here for Jessica?"

Seth lips twitch.

The two police officers look at the enormous picture of Seth and a beautiful woman.

They are obviously happy and in love.

Seth points at the picture.

"That's her."

The two police officers already doubted if this abduction is real from the start but they can't just dismiss and ignore a report of kidnapping just because they personally think it's impossible.

Now they feel even more sure that this is only a plot of these two women.

"What…." the mother looks at the picture.

They didn't recognize Jessica at first.

She looks so elegant and lovely.

How could she wear such a beautiful dress and she can wear those diamonds and gems as if she has the right?

The two women whose lives have been turned upside down because of her disappearance felt anger and jealousy.

Seth is watching the two women from the start.

It is easy to counter and charge the two women with lots of charges but he still gave them a chance. If they show even a small compassion or guilt while looking at Jessica, he will consider helping them out.

For that woman upstairs, he is being too generous but his generosity has limitations.

"Jessica is with me. I think you are mistaken." Seth said and he sits down.

He also told everyone to sit down.

The two officers can see how calm Seth is.

The two women felt a bit strange that the scenario they are planning inside their head didn't happen.

Still, if they see Jessica, that sucker will surely give in if she sees them suffering.

"Please, let me see my daughter. I need to know if she is safe. If she is healthy. I am worried everyday." Sob*** sob***

Seth raised a brow.

"Jessica has been hospitalized but you never visited her."

He reminds them

.

"That is because we are not around. We only heard of her disappearance recently and thought she has been captive. You will know if you ask my sister."

"Hoh. Jessica is injured so she can't walk well."

"We have to see her!" The little sister said in a panic. Her mother nods hurriedly.

The two officers look at each other.

"Sir Vastian, I know we are imposing too much and we don't have a warrant on our hand. But for the mother's piece of mind, I hope we can see Miss Catigba personally to also check her statement about the complaint against you."

Seth clicked his tongue showing his displeasure.

He rarely lost his temper.

And he never shows discourtesy so easily.

But Seth is angry right now.

"I told you she is injured and can't walk. Yet you don't ask what injury she has."

He stands up

"That….That is why we want to see her so badly…..cause we are concerned!" The mother said.

"Wait here. I will carry her down."

"Can't you just ask someone else to get her?" Little sister asks since Seth is very rich and has so many tough looking guards why is he personally going to fetch her sister?

Seth looks at the two officers.

"I will be back." He said and walk up.

***

"Seth!" Jessica happily throws her phone away seeing Seth's back.

She raised her two arms asking to be carried.

Seth takes her to his arms.

"Your mother and sister are here."

Jessica paused, no, she froze.

"...why?" She asks, looking at Seth's eyes asking if she will be thrown away.

Seth kisses her nose.

"Don't worry. The police will just ask you a few questions."

"Police?" She is more confused.

Then her lips were sealed by Seth's lips.

Then he pressed his forehead to hers.

Jessica is speechless.

Her face is red.

Staring at Seth's face.

Seth grins

"You can't be anywhere but my side."

Jessica felt warm.

She hugs him tighter.

"Hmm."
