"Can't you see the time?" Aletta cried out over the phone."What time is it?" Joshua asked peeling the phone off his ear and checking the time. He had just left the living room where his mom had just finished planning her mini-party.Xavier was not comfortable with the idea from the get-go but he had no choice but to accept it when he saw the way his eyes were twinkling with so much excitement.Jessica had hosted her fair share of parties back in the day and had stopped after a while. Although her parties mainly consisted of those closest to her she still used the time to have a little fun."It's so late, are you sleeping?" Joshua asked putting the phone back to his ears."No but I was about to get into bed" Aletta said lifting the covers and slipping into the bed before dropping the covers on herself."Sorry, I called this late," Joshua said sitting on his bed."There is no problem" she murmured followed by a yawn. "I just wanted to let you know that you would be attending my mom's

Joshua was giddy he had somehow convinced Aletta to agree to tell everyone about their relationship. She had been so hesitant that she almost refused to attend the party but he had sent a driver who showed up at her door a few minutes before the party time and was ready to take her to the mansion. Jeanne on the other hand had managed to successfully invite Thiago to the party. She had tried to skip over the details of why he was to be at the party and made it sound like a friendly gesture."You must be Thaigo" Jessica said stretching her hand to him as Jeanne entered with him."Yes, I am and you are the famous Mrs Delgado" Thiago said taking her hands."Famous? I rather not call myself that" Jessica said beaming with joy."It is just that your story is quite popular with the people""Oh really? I was not aware of that fact, I don't concern myself with the outside world" Jessica replied.She gestured to the staff going around the back garden which they were using for the party with a

"An announcement?" Everyone murmured.Everyone knew that Joshua avoided parties like this. He always stayed away so it was a wonder to everyone that he stayed at the party and even had an announcement to make."What do you think he wants to announce?" Anette asked her mom who was sipping from a cup."Who knows?" Leslie said slipping her hand through her daughter's hand."I don't mean to steal the spotlight from my amazing mother who singlehandedly planned this party just to verify an already known fact" Joshua began causing the crowd to rumble into laughter."We can all agree with me that she has been a wonderful host don't we?" Joshua added and everyone murmured in agreement."What's your announcement?" One of the women screamed at him."I am getting to that now," Joshua said. "There was a rumour a few days back about my girlfriend. It's true and I don't deny having a girlfriend because she is so beautiful it would be a crime to deny her" Joshua said.Anette felt her stomach clench.

Jessica came to stand beside Aletta. She held her hands in hers and smiled. "We thought Joshua was trying to improve his image by claiming to have a girlfriend we did not know that you were real," Jessica said in a confession."Huh," Aletta did not know what to say."I mean I always thought that Joshua was very similar to Xavier, Xavier did the same back in the day. He married me because he wanted to inherit the company" Jessica leaned in as if she was trying to tell her a secret that no one else was supposed to know. "He fell for me and we got married for real" she whispered.Aletta was confused so she blinked rapidly. Why was Jessica telling her so many random things? She could not understand no matter how much she tried to wrap her mind around it."I mean, he has been so interested in the family business that I always thought that might do something funny like what Xavier did when he was younger. Something drastic because of the company although we as his parents do not have intent

"Oh come on say hello, this is Joshua's girlfriend but you probably know her as his assistant" Jessica said sitting beside her husband and acting like she was introducing them to each other for the first time. "I know her darling," Xavier said brushing Jessica's hair from her face to the back of her ears. "Did you drink a lot? Your cheeks are bright red" Xavier said dropping his glass to the table and rubbing his palms together.He placed his hands on her face and she shuddered underneath his touch. "You were cold weren't you?" Xavier asked and Jessica nodded.Aletta did not know if she should give them some privacy or wait till she could say a proper hello to Xavier. "I told you to take a scarf along" Xavier said taking his hands off her face and rubbing his hands together again to generate heat. It was as if he knew her so well.He dropped his hands from her face after a while and unwrapped the muffler on his neck. It was not necessarily cold but there was a lot of night breeze th

"So you decide to steal my spotlight to announce your girlfriend?" Jeanne asked taking a step closer to her brother.She had taken him away from the crowd to the kitchen just so she could tease him very well. "Your spotlight? What do you mean?" Joshua asked confused at the allegations that were coming from her at that time."Yes, Mom threw this party just so she could meet Thaigo but you had to announce your girlfriend here too?" Joshua scrunched up his face in a disapproving look."Seeing Thaigo was just an excuse for Mom to throw a party, I guess she had not done one in a while and she needed a reason" "I know right and it's not like she really enjoys these parties, she only throws them so that others can enjoy them. She is such a saint" Jeanne said.Her eyes widened in shock as she covered her mouth with her hand. "How did you do that?" she asked pointing to him."I need you to ask specific questions so I can know how and when to answer. Also, I should be able to tell if the ques

"Congratulations" Anette said stretching her hand to Aletta.She had cried a river before deciding not to give up. Her mom had told her that since they were not yet married she still had a chance to accomplish whatever it was that she wanted to have."Thank you" Aletta replied taking the tip of her fingers briefly before letting go of them quickly."I guess you must have thought I was a fool when I was busy planning a future with Joshua when you already had him in the palm of your hand. Aletta gritted her teeth which caused her jaws to be squared. She wondered what Anette was trying to do. Knowing what she had done in the past few days she knew that announcing their relationship was not going to keep her away."I hope you can make him happy, as long as Joshua is happy I am happy" Anette lied.She wondered how the lies did not get stuck in her throat as the words left her mouth. She was not giving up if he was not hers at the end."I can assure you that he is happy now and I hope to b

"You look so happy it's kind of creeping me out" Aletta said as she and Joshua finally sat down at the table."Of course I am happy" he said turning to her and giving her the best smile. "Why?" she asked pursing her lips together."It feels like a weight has been finally lifted off my shoulder since I told everyone about us, and see no one really cares about us and are going on with their life as usual" Joshua said and Aletta nodded in agreement.She did not know what she had been so worried about. They all congratulated her but it ended there without any further comment. She wondered if it was because of the status of most of the people there. Maybe the wealthy did not like to be involved in gossip. Maybe people in general did not have time for frivolous gossip. Maybe she was just being paranoid and there was nothing much to it. "And now" Joshua's hand fished her hand out and he intertwined their hands together."Joshua," she said in a hushed whisper as her eyes darted to the party
