"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
"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
"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

This free Chapter is for you."Joshua we would be late" Aletta screamed from the bottom of the stairs. "Honey are we using our government names now?" Joshua screamed back at her. "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
"What do you possibly mean by that?" Jessica asked. She has been arguing in front of the courthouse over the phone for the last ten minutes. Today was her wedding day. She and her high school sweetheart Burke were supposed to meet up here by ten thirty am to have their wedding. "Burke it is ten forty-five am, where are you?" she asked her voice shaky. "Jessica I won't be coming today," Burke said. "What do you mean by that? We are to get married today" she said again. This time she felt something got trickling down her eyes. She sniffled to drive away the tears so her makeup doesn't get ruined. "Jessica I don't think I love you enough to want to get married to you and live together in the same house," he said. She felt her heart sank. They had been planning the wedding together ever since he popped the question. He knew of her dream to get married and live in a house that had a yard for the kids to play in. He had no house with a yard but they planned to get one. "I won't force
"I thought you said she would be here on time?" Xavier shouted over the phone to his assistant Brian. The doctors had told him that his grandfather had barely two weeks left. Xavier had lied to his grandfather that he had a girlfriend. His grandfather had said that the girlfriend be wedded and presented to him before he dies so he transfer the company out of a management specialist to his name. His grandfather knew what a responsible man Xavier was but he feared that if he left the world Xavier would be all alone and later the company will leave the Delgado household. Dawson (Xavier's grandfather) decides that instead of Xavier giving up the company in the long run, he would be the one to leave the company in the hands of those who can manage. It would make him roll on his grave if Xavier gives up on his hard work and sweat. He rather does it for himself. Xavier knew he owed it to his grandfather. When his parents died in a ghastly motor accident that claimed their life, he had b
"What?" Xavier said dropping the phone from his ears to look at this girl. How could she just think to get married to him when she knew nothing about him? "Are you from the marriage service?" he asked. His question threw Jessica off balance. "No," she said biting her lips. She was sure that her makeup was now ruined by all the crying she had done. The conversation she overheard made her decide to make sure she got married before leaving the courthouse and since this man was in desperate need of a wife she decided to step up to the task. "You need a wife don't you?" she asked sniffling. Her crying had left her nose running. "Yes, I am" Xavier answered. It just occurred to him that she could be an answer to his solution. "I was dumped on my wedding day. I don't want to bore you with all the details but I see you need a wife. I could be your wife" She said. Xavier looked at her carefully. She looked sane after the ruined makeup on her face. He put back the phone to his ear."Ensure
Jessica blinked multiple times. She could not believe she just got married. Under normal circumstances, she was supposed to give her husband a big kiss on his lips. Looking beside her at the stranger who she just found was Xavier Delgado, she still couldn't believe she was married. "Would you like to take pictures?" one of the witnesses asked them. "Yes," Xavier answered collecting the marriage certificate from the judge. "Thank you for today," he said addressing the judge. "Let's go take our picture," he said standing up and leaving. Jessica could barely comprehend what was going on but it seemed as if Xavier had come to terms with the fact that he had married a stranger. He seemed comfortable with it. Jessica goes outside and sees him standing in front of the courthouse holding the certificate. She approached him and stood close to him. "If we are taking a picture, we better make it believable that we just got married," Xavier said "You didn't ask me if I am okay with taking
