Joshua heard a knock on the door, he pulled the phone slightly away from his ears to confirm if he actually heard the knock.

"Who is there?" he asked. He heard a foot shuffle before another knock followed.

"Hold on Aletta, someone's at my door"

"Call me later then," she said cutting off the call before he could say a word. He was going to call her right after he confirmed who was at the door.

The door creaked open and Jessica was standing there with a small tray in one hand and a bright smile on her face.

"Mom?" he said opening the door wider so she could come in.

"I thought you had slept already, can I come in?"

"Sure," he said. She walked in and placed the tray in hand on the table. Joshua closed the door and followed her in.

"How are you holding up?" she asked turning to face him. When she saw the expression on his face she knew that her question was somewhat invalid.

How could he be fine when he was also facing some kind of backlash? She had thought the news would fizzle out wi

    Joshua pulled away from his mother's firm grip on him. "I'm not a child you know that right?" he said blinking to send away the tears threatening to break from his eyes."You will always be my child" Jessica said peering into his eyes. A knock on the door made both of them turn to the door. "Who is it?" she asked and he shrugged."No idea," he said standing up and walking to the door to see who it could be."Hello brother" Jeanne said leaning into the door frame."Jeanne?" he was shocked to see her there. "Are you just getting home now?" he asked when it dawned on him that she was still in her work clothes and shoes."Yeah," she drew out as her eyes darted around."We closed from work five hours ago" Joshua exclaimed in surprise."I was on a date with Thiago" Jeanne responded a blush creeping up her face."Little lady, don't you think you spent way too much time outside?" Joshua asked.Jeanne's eyebrows went up in a questioning manner. Why was he acting like a concerned older brother?

    "You were worried about me? That's so cute" Joshua called after Jeanne as she kept walking."You are so annoying" Jeanne shouted as she increased her speed."Why are you teasing her so much," Jessica asked slipping out of the room."Because it's fun," Joshua said slipping out with her. "Are you leaving?" "Your dad must be waiting for me," Jessica said with a smile. "I had to slip away for a split second" she added."Speak of the devil" Joshua said and Jessica turned around to face her husband."There you are" Xavier said walking up to her, he took her hand in his and squeezed it gently."You could not wait thirty minutes?" Jessica asked pulling herself away from his grip."It's been thirty-one minutes already" Xavier replied. Jessica rolled her eyes at him as she hit him slightly on the arm. "I spend all day with you can't I spend a little time with my son?" she asked as he shook his head. "You don't spend the entire day with me, you go to work and leave me all alone" "Before you

    Anette did not know if she should be happy about the situation at hand. At first, she was mad that Joshua was the one to release the news before she and Richard could do so but she soon got better when she noticed that others bashed Aletta with her.She had created a fake account to rain down insults on Aletta, that was the best she could do. There was no way she could do that with her personal account and not get cancelled by her fans.Her group of friends that comprised of Giselle, Beverly, Harriet, Penelope and Irene had given her all the backup she needed. They had money and their family had power so they were least concerned about the cancel culture of the city. They all believed that the person who should end up with Joshua should come from one of them and so they were unrelenting in sharing their opinions about the matter on the internet."Do you guys want to meet up?" Irene asked.Since the news came out, the six of them have stuck closer together than ever before. They had v

    "Why did you want to meet up at such a fancy place?" Anette asked as Richard pulled out a seat for her."Fancy? I had to tone it down so you don't feel too pressured by it" Richard said.Anette slipped into the chair and he pushed a little before making his way to the other side and getting into his chair."Is their food here good?" Anette asked pretending like she had never been there before."You've been here before" Rochard said as she reached for the menu, her hands recoiled and she pursed a short smile across her face."Yes I have, but how do you know that?" "Your socials" he said without sparing her a glance."Oh" she said with a nod of the head. "It's not like I wanted to eat here, it was kind of a paid advert" she informed him."I know, you are very effective. This place has been popular since you ate here, maybe some more pictures would put this place on a lockdown" he said and she looked at him.His face finally came up from the menu to look into her eyes. She hated the way

    "You are drunk" Richard said eyeing Anette up and down. She had refused to eat anything much claiming that she was on a diet and she did not need to add any extra weight.She drank the champagne an unhealthy amount of it and now she was drunkenly telling the waiter that she wanted another glass of wine."We would not be needing that glass" Richard said dismissing the waiter. The waiter bowed his head before leaving their table to go check on other people's table."Why did you ask him to leave?" Anette slurred at him. "I wanted to celebrate more" she added taking up her cup and gasping at the empty cup in her hands. "It's empty," she said with a hiccup."Yes, it is" Richard reached across the table to pry out the glass from her hands."Stop it" she said slapping his hands away from hers with her empty hand. "Why are you so against my celebration" "I am not against it" Richard explained. The entire situation left a funny feeling in his gut but he did not want her to think he was not ha

    Richard knew that with the rate at which Anette was going, she might end up with Joshua. He was going to relive his fantasy with her but he knew that was not going to be enough for him. He needed her to be associated with him. If the world saw them go into a hotel room together they would naturally assume that they were together. He was going to use petty bloggers who wanted to write about anything and everything. He was a media guru who else could use the media like him? He had planted different people at the restaurant too who had taken so many images of them and posted them online. He was happy his plan was piecing together. He was going to use a series of dates to lure her out and take many more images but she helped him kill it at once.She had been drinking so excessively in the name of celebrating so she was now drunk and it was easy for them to go there. His heart leapt for joy when she suggested a private hotel room.Richard asked that they be given a suite, the bigger the

    Anette's head pounded as she opened her eyes. She shut them immediately so the light rays from the large windows don't hurt her eyes.'Wait large windows?' her mind said immediately. She did not own any large windows in her house. 'Where am I?' her eyes flew open and she sat up straight. The blanket over her body slid down to expose her naked upper chest. She hurriedly took up the blanket and held it down using her armpits. She turned around the room and she could recognise the structure since she had visited there many times because of brand deals. "It's Arlington Hotel" she murmured to herself. "How did I get here?" she asked as she looked around to scattered clothes on the ground.She recognised some as the ones she wore yesterday which included her underwear but she was certain the rest belonged to a man. Did she pick up a gigolo after she left Richard? Was she that sex deprived that she had to get it done with a strange man? She heard the shower stop and it was at that moment

    "How dare you bring me here and sleep with me? This is rape, I am going to sue for rape" she said moving away from his reach."Rape?" he scoffed at her as he watched her search fanatically for her phone."Yes rape," she said fumbling with her bag to take out her phone.He took up his phone from the table and tapped till he got the recording her wanted. He was glad he recorded everything that went on between them. He had a plan but it seemed she had not gotten any action in a long time so she was the one who initiated everything about the situation. She started kissing him first. Even though he wanted to kiss her so badly, he had to ensure that she said she wanted him to kiss back and he even did the same when she started taking off his and her clothes.Anette listened to the recording, she could not believe her ears. "I was drunk" she screamed as she turned to face him with a dangerous expression on her face."You were that drunk," he said with a smirk. He threw the phone to the bed

"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
