"I already told you I won't do anything and you would have to be the one to beg me" Joshua said as she lifted Aletta in her hand.She felt truly embarrassed by the situation so she pretended to feel a cough coming on. "I need a glass of water" "We can get that" Joshua said walking to the room instead of the mini fridge for her to take water."But water," Aletta said when he dropped her to the bed."I will get that my queen" he said walking out and emerging a while later with a bottle of water in hand. He opened it and gave it to her. "Here you go" Aletta took the open bottle and gulped out of it. "Thank you" she said setting aside the bottle to the nightstand beside her. "Aren't you coming to bed?" she asked when she noticed him standing there watching her."I am" he said hurriedly getting into bed. Aletta cleared her throat and lay down in the bed. Joshua snuck his hands underneath her body and pulled her close to him."What are you doing?" Aletta asked."Nothing, just holding my g
"Your brother seems to be spending a lot of time out of the city," Thiago said to Jeanne."And we should be happy about it, at least he is not here to bully me or nitpick at my relationship," Jeanne said with a smile on her face."You sound so much like someone who is missing him" "Oh my god, how dare you say that?" Jeanne shrieked like she had been given terrible news. "You know siblings are more alike than they think" Thiago started."So you are like your sister Nichole" "Oh no, that rule does not apply to us," "Hmm" Jeanne said nodding her head mockingly. "Come closer let me tell you a secret" he said beckoning to her. Jeanne bent her head a bit so she could hear what he could possibly have to say."She was adopted so there is no way we are alike" he said and Jeanne shook her head."I believe that it's so true" Jeanne's tone was sarcastic enough that anyone could hear it from a mile away. "Enough about my brother, when do I get to meet your sister?" "You still want to meet he
"I can't believe we are already going back" Joshua whined as they made their way to the airport."You are the CEO of the company and you gave duties to attend to" "Hey, what did you do to my girlfriend," Joshua said glancing at her from the driver's seat."Hmm?" Aletta was confused. What was he saying?"My fun girlfriend, who had been the life of the entire trip, what did you do to her?" Joshua asked again.Aletta saw that he was joking about the situation so she laughed. "I am sorry but your assistant has to step in and your girlfriend takes the back seat" Aletta said playing along with his jokes."Yeah, I don't want that, our trip is not over until we get back to Chiachester City" "So you want me to be fun?" She asked and he nodded."Our flight leaves in three hours what fun thing can we do?" She asked looking out the window."I know," he said causing him to look at him. He tapped his mouth and then pouted."Joshua" she called in surprise. "You are driving" she added in a scolding
"Hello Jeanne""I know you are in the arrival hall and my brother seems to be all over you like a child" Jeanne replied.Aletta looked around wondering how she knew that, her eyes landed on Jeanne and Thiago walking towards them. Aletta had enjoyed her trip so much that she did not want to leave but now that she was seeing familiar faces she could not help but be grateful to be back. "What are you doing here?" she screamed jumping on her."Here to pick you," Jeanne said patting her back and giving her brother a weird look before sticking out her tongue. "I will take you while Joshua has to learn a lesson by taking public transport" Jeanne added and both of them began a stare down."Really? You both are going to do this right here in the middle of the airport arrival terminal?" Thiago asked when neither of them moved. "Joshua" Aletta said shaking him. He looked at her and Jeanne clapped her hands in the air."I won" she sang triumphantly. Joshua gave Aletta a hard look and she threw
"So I thought I was meeting my brother and his girlfriend. I did not expect to see him with three other people" Nichole said as they sat at the table in the restaurant of the hotel that she was staying at.Ever since they sat down Jeanne could not hide her surprise. She sat on her hand to avoid anyone from seeing how nervous she was."Be nice" Thiago cautioned and Nichole rolled her eyes."I haven't even said anything yet. I prepared to meet two people but here I am meeting two more. What is this a fan meeting?" "Not everyone is your fan, I don't even think they have the liberty to know who you are" "I know who you are" Jeanne blurted and then her face went up in fear. She was not supposed to be all over her that way. She was supposed to be cool, composed and oh no she was freaking out. "Oh you do see that brother, your girlfriend knows me," Nichole said flashing her smile."You know me?" "Of course" Nichole leaned in and whispered. "I have seen your pictures and heard so much abo
"How do you know us well?" Joshua was curious as to how she knew their business so well. it would have been understandable that Thiago showed her pictures of Jeanne but why would he share his rumour with her?"The Delgado is much more popular than you think, the news of your girlfriend spread like wildfire" Nichole said."That makes sense" Aletta murmured with a nod.The news had so surrounded Delgado that the scandal still popped up once in a while and even showed on related news whenever there was a search. "And since Thiago told me his girlfriend was a Delgado I had to find out more about her" Nichole explained.The waiter came to their table a few moments later to take their orders, after a serious contemplation and back and forth between Thiago and Nichole they finally settled.They ordered and had the waiter bring out their meals. They spoke lightly over dinner and Aletta yawned a few times."I have never thought anyone would yawn while I speak" Nichole said with her mouth hang
"I feel so exhausted," Aletta said as she stood at her door."Why did you agree to go for dinner if you knew how you felt?" Joshua asked."I don't know, Jeanne has not really asked me for anything before so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do something for her" Aletta replied."Now you feel so exhausted you can barely keep your eyes open, let me be on my way so you can rest up" He went in for a hug and planted kisses on her hair. He was going to miss waking up to her every morning like he had done for the past few days. "I miss you already" "But I am still here" Aletta replied."Do you want to go to my house" "As much as I'd love to, I need to go home now, my mom and sister must be waiting for me. Maybe next time" she said and he frowned but he understood. "Okay then, I would only let you go if I got a kiss" he pouted and she did not hesitate before she planted a kiss on it. He kissed back and only pulled away when she did."I better get in before it's too late" she sai
TIME LEAP: TWO WEEKS Anette woke up with a pain in her guts, she had the same recurring pain for a week now and she had just about enough of it and gone ahead to book an appointment.She maybe thought she had contacted something for Richard. After the news broke of her and him she still somehow found herself going back to him time and time again.Her mother had been so worried but there was nothing she was doing about it. Leslie could not believe that her daughter was so fickle minded that she could easily give up her dream just because of one man."You should see a doctor" "I already made an appointment" Anette responded coldly.Since the news broke out and Anette had decided to go back and forth with Richard the relationship between her and her mother became strained. Anette always believed that her mom was just a big supporter of her goals but it turned out that all she wanted was to get into the Delgado family by all means.It seemed as though she was trying to recover the lost
