"Ms Alethea I must say you are a very good cook" Joshua commented as he took the last bite out of his toast and eggs. He took the cup of coffee to his mouth and downed the whole cup in a go.

"As good as your mom?" Alethea asked.

" Alethea" Aletta said in a scolding voice before she turned to Joshua. "Sorry about that she likes to joke about everything"

"Of course, I was just joking," Alethea said with an eye roll.

"Well I guess you might be able to give her a run for her money" Joshua said and it brought a smile to Alethea's face.

"I must say I like you more than Aletta" she said and Joshua felt delighted. With the two sisters, he seemed relaxed and comfortable it was so strange for him.

"I do appreciate that Ms. Alethea"

"Wait why do you call me miss?" Alethea asked her eyebrow going up to her hairline.

"Aren't you a miss?" he asked and she opened her mouth and closed it multiple times. She did not know how well to tackle that.

"You also call Aletta miss don't you?" she finally sai

    Aletta had suddenly become the third wheel and Alethea and Joshua were now busy sharing interest and discussion. Aletta had washed down the whole dishes and pots used by her sister in making the breakfast while both of them moved to the living room to continue with their supposed important discussion. Aletta had also cleaned up the kitchen. Doing the house chores made her feel a bit happy because it had been a while since she did tasks like that."Aren't you going to go home?" Aletta asked pulling out the throw pillow away from his buttock making him shake a little and throw her an uncomfortable look."Can't you see that I am discussing with him?" Alethea asked crossing her hand across her chest annoyed that her conversation was being interrupted."I can see that but I am sure he might have a lot of personal things to do today and he needs to go home. He hasn't been there since last night" he said pushing him to his feet from the couch."Why are you so eager to see me go?" he asked s

    Aletta had not expected those words from his mouth and to be honest they did ignite a few butterflies in her stomach. She cleared her throat and pushed him off of her."Time to go" she said pushing him out the door. The can she had called for him was already waiting outside the door so he hurried into it and then slipped into it. So as not to expose himself further he told the car to drop him somewhere around his house and Jack was going to get him up from there."I can not believe you actually spent the night out of the house. You were always such a good and model example." Jeanne said shaking her head as her brother walked into the kitchen."Why? I like it. It seems like my son is finally growing up" Jessica said closing the refrigerator and turning to face him. "So when are you going to introduce her to us?" Jessica followed up with the question."Whenever she is ready" Joshua said taking up a glass from the counter and walking to the refrigerator. "I wonder what she is like?" Je

    Aletta took a deep breath as she closed the door. She put her hand across her chest as she tried her best to steady her breathing. She had been so greatly moved by his actions and words all morning that she knew the reason she had not still jumped him was because she tried her best to self-control. "So a trip hun?" Alethea said out of nowhere."A business trip" Aletta corrected her with much emphasis on business. "Yeah but I heard something about a wedding" she said in a teasing voice."Stop speaking in that tone and no matter what you think, it won't happen" she said dismissing her and walking to her room. "I have to get prepared for the trip, it's a week-long" she muttered to herself as she walked away."I will help you pick out all the outfits you need" Alethea said skipping up to her until she was within arms reach. She clasped her hand around the shoulder as they both entered the room."So why is this wedding a week long?" Alethea asked as she settled herself into the bed while

    "Oh poor you, does Joshua have to make you work when you should be resting?" Jeanne asked as she caught up with Aletta as they walked to the plane.Everyone assumed that she was there for work and she did not have the luxury to correct them."I don't mind" she murmured giving the girl a small smile."These are the things that give him the power, you should mind and resist him whenever he tries to make you work extra hours. You could even report him to the Ministry of Works and Labour" Jeanne said.Aletta was unable to pick up the sarcasm in her voice. Was she being serious? Could she report her brother to the ministry? "For real, I am good, I don't mind" she said instead of allowing herself to ask the numerous questions in her head."You might be fine but I am not" Jeanne said again.Now Aletta could see what it was that Joshua saw. Jeanne really reminded her of her sister. She had this carefree attitude that was hard to have in this time and age and also she was so unashamed of airi

    As the plane touched down at the airport Jeanne was giddy."I can't remember the last time I had a cause to visit Aurora Hills" she said with joy hidden in her voice."I have never been here before" Aletta said and Jeanne's head whipped to her."I will make sure you have the best time ever," Jeanne said with joy. "Take this as your vacation, don't even think of trying to work for Joshua" she said and Aletta nodded.She knew she was here for the party but she had to pretend to be working so as not to be caught by his family. "I doubt that would work but I look forward to it" Aletta lied. She needed to try her best to keep up the facade or else she would be discovered before the end of the day.They left the terminal and got to the arrival hall where different security personnel were ready to take them to their accommodations for the week."I will take Aletta with me" Jeanne screamed to no one in particular. Since Jessica had taken Anette's side Jeanne went quiet through the entire tri

    Aletta and Jeanne entered the house they were to stay at while they were having dinner."Have you had dinner?" Jessica asked Jeanne as they passed by."Yes," Jeanne answered without looking back."Aren't you going to say Hello to Alicia and Jason?" Jessica asked again.Jeanne stopped in her tracks and cleared her throat. "Hello Aunty Alicia and Uncle Jason" she said turning back to face them. She had had a long day and was feeling very exhausted.Both of them acted like tourists in a new place and tried their best to have as much fun as they could. "Jeanne looking as beautiful as always" Alicia commented with a smile. "Thank you, Aunty," Jeanne said returning the smile. "What about Joseph?" she asked trying to make small talk."He is out with his wife," Jason said. "I guess being haughty runs in the family" he added and the whole table fell into laughter.Aletta could almost plead with Joshua to stop staring so intently at her with her eyes. His eyes were asking so many questions sh

    Aletta and Joshua spent the next two hours outside talking. Aletta was at rest knowing that Jeanne would likely not look for her because it was nothing weird to work for two hours.None of them would have been able to pinpoint exactly what it was that they were talking about. They seemed to be able to put themselves out there as they spoke about everything and anything."It's getting late," Aletta said with a yawn."It's not getting late, it's already late" Joshua said showing her the time on his phone."Oh my god, we have spent two hours already?" Aletta gasped holding his forearms so tightly in a squeeze."Yes, we have" Joshua replied amused by her expression."We better get in so we can get some sleep" Aletta said with a yawn again."I guess you do need sleep, you have been yawning nonstop since" he commented and she became so self-conscious. "I wish we could spend a little more time out here" he added and she glared at him."What?" he asked his hands going up as if he was surrende

    Joshua held his cheeks as he watched her run into the house. He smiled brightly. Oh well, he was asking for a hug but even got something better instead. He stood up and dusted his trousers before walking into the house.He climbed the stairs ever so slowly, he knew the week was about to become a long one. Joseph was very much like his father Jason and did ever in his power to have fun. Andrew and Joshua were always very exhausted whenever they had to spend time with him."Where were you?" Joshua heard a voice from behind him as he pushed the door to his room open. He turned back to see a bright smile on Joesph's face with Andrew and Anette beside him. "Outside working with my secretary" he replied."So why is that huge ass smile on your face and why didn't you work inside?" Joseph asked. "What smile?" Joshua asked trying his best to keep a straight face but it was impossible considering what he had gone through today."Is work fun these days?" Anette asked trying to get answers out

"Joshua you know I do not like being late for any of these events" Aletta screamed back at him. Altetta paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
