"You can put me down now" Jessica murmured into Xavier's chest.

"What?" Xavier asked stopping in his tracks as he looked down at her.

"What are you thinking?"

"Nothing" he jumped to defend himself even though he had been deep in thought about what had happened some moments ago.

"Nothing?" she asked tilting her head the best way it could go.

"It's about Leslie, Did she not seem off to you?" he asked. He was disgusted and disappointed by her behaviour but overall he was surprised and worried.

"I know right, I always thought she was the sweetest. I mean she was always there" Jessica said.

"Maybe something is up?" As much as Xavier hated her attitude, he wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Yeah," Jessica trailed off as she nestled in his hands. "You know I can walk, right? There is nothing wrong with me" she added after a moment.

"Are you sure you aren't shaken up by her attitude?" he asked.

"You sneaky man" she said narrowing her eyes at him.

    "Let's talk" "I have said this countless times and I can not believe that you are somehow making me repeat myself again, I don't want to talk to you" Leslie said with a tone of disdain. "You have to" he said snatching her hand and pulling her with him towards his car. Brian opened up the front passenger side and shoved her inside before closing the door and walking over to the driver's side. He began to drive out with silence in the car. "If you want to talk then do so and let me out immediately" she murmured as she felt the tense air in the car. She was sulking that her plan had failed but she could not believe that he had somehow caught her in the act. Her full plan was to get Joshua and Anette married and then go back to her husband. She was aware of how head over heels he was for her and that he would come running back if she shed a few tears. She wondered if her tears would be of any use to her at all or if she had to devise a stronger plan to get him back. Jessica had

    "A divorce?" Leslie murmured to herself before letting out a sinister laugh. "You want a divorce?" she asked trailing off when she noticed that he was not laughing with her and the serious expression on his face. "Are you for real?" she asked and he nodded. "I thought for a split second that I would have been able to speak some sense with you but it's obvious that you are stuck on her past and you have intentions of moving on and being honest with me" he said looking out the windshield. "Brian I have always been honest with you" Leslie let out in a panic. The situation was not under her control as she had thought earlier, he was being serious and if she was not careful she would have to lose him forever. "You never loved me, you still had fantasies about Xavier and I wonder why it took me this long to figure that out" he continued. "Why the hell would you say that?" she asked trying to sound humble. "After all the things you have said and done in the past weeks I would be

    Aletta stood outside the office door as she wondered if her decision was good enough. After encountering Leslie and the craze she had thought long and hard about her relationship with Joshua. Even though she had not been interested in getting married, the thought that his parents might want grandkids and a married daughter-in-law and that might ultimately lead to them breaking up crossed her mind a whole lot. The scenario of them separating and she being heartbroken could not for a second leave her mind and it kept her from getting any work done. She was also concerned he might have to marry a rich woman and she would be left with our memories of him. She had made up her mind but for many reasons, she kept rethinking it. She was about to push the door open when it yanked from inside and Joshua stood in the door frame tilting his head and blinking. "What are you doing there?" she let out without thinking. "I think I should be asking you that," he said leaning into the frame m

    Aletta was flustered by his actions as she watched him go. Joshua turned back briefly and sent her a cocky smile before entering into the elevator, he held her gaze as the doors shut. Thaigo's assistant stumbled to her feet as she saw Joshua approaching. She tried to search her memory as to why he was there but there was no answer. "Mr Delgado..." She could barely get the statement from her mouth because he flagged her down with a wave of his hands."I am here to see Thiago, you don't need to announce my arrival, it's a personal meeting," Joshua told her and she never added."Do I need to bring anything to drink?" she asked. He stopped in his tracks and nodded before proceeding to the closed door in front of him. He tapped on the door to Thiago's office and then pushed it open. Thiago looked up from his desk and then smiled at him before standing up. "You asked to see me?" Joshua asked entering the office. "Yes I did, let me just save this" he said tapping his keyboard rapidly an

    "You finally agreed to come to a fancy place" Joshua said and Aletta nodded. She has made a reservation using her influence as his assistant and it was a piece of cake for her. She has noticed that Joshua has been a bit absent-minded as they came to the restaurant and she had tried to get answers out of him but he had not said anything and just avoided the situation totally. "Yes, you have been asking for a fancy date and I decided it would be a good time to come here" "A good time?" Joshua asked slipping his hand into hers and the other hand into his pocket. A man began to approach them with a huge smile on his face. Aletta could see that the man recognized Joshua it was obvious he did, and this was part of the reason she avoided fancy places like this. Everyone would know who he was and try to stick their nose in his business. "Mr Delgado," the man said with so much glee it was obvious from a distance. "Hello, John" Joshua said. Aletta made a sound in the back of her thr

    "What would you have?" Aletta asked flipping through the page. She understood the menu because she had to book in advance what Joshua would eat whenever he visited this place but she had never had a taste of it before so she was confused about what to pick. "What do you want to have?" Joshua asked back. "What's good here?" "Everything, the chef here is excellent" "Then I would have whatever the waiter recommends" she replied closing the menu and dropping it to the table before taking the cup to her mouth. "Is something wrong?" "No, why would you ask that?" Aletta's answer was a strong defence. Nothing was wrong but she was not sure of what she was about to it and if she should be doing it. She wondered if she was acting on impulse. She wondered what his reaction would be. She wondered if it would make her look and sound desperate. Her mind was running around the whole place but she made up her mind and there was no going back for her. "Your face looks tense, your grip on that

    "What?" Joshua asked his cup in hand and in the air still waiting for her glass to clink with his. "Let's toast to me asking you to marry me," she said again. It was as though the confidence she had lost she suddenly regained. She sat up straight and stared at him in the eyes. Joshua stared at her continuously without moving as he was unable to properly process what was going on at that time. "Joshua? So?" she urged waiting for his response. "But you said...you said that.." he let out in a stutter unable to correctly articulate all the words. "I know what I said before but I am saying this now, are you not going to respond" Now she was panicking, she dropped the cup to the table and pressed her fingers to the table while staring at him. "Of course, you know I have always wanted to marry you but you had been against it for such a long time I don't know how you want me to react but this is shocking," Joshua said making no sense to her. She laughed and then held his hands tha

    "Where are we going? What about our food? Are we just going to leave like this?" she asked as he pulled her out of her seat. "We have somewhere important to go" "But the food" she whined, she was hungry and was really looking forward to eating everything they had been served. "I would get you something better" he said taking up her bag that was hanging on the chair. He began to walk toward the exit and Aletta followed behind him. "Where are we going?" Aletta asked as they approached the car. He was not saying anything and it was killing her. She wanted to know why they were just leaving in the middle of their meal. She was struggling to keep up with his long strides. "You'll see" he said looking back at her. "Wait up then" she said trying to catch up, he slowed down till she was beside him and then they began waking but at a fast pace. They got to the car and both got in before Joshua began to drive away. "Are you really not going to tell me why we left our meal unto

"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
