Branch Eight

The couple left the hospital room after much pleasantries and goodbyes.

Jessica decided that she liked Dawson. He was a likable old man. She began to see where Xavier got his looks from. His aloofness and coldness she guessed came from his parents.

The ride was to the house where she would be staying. She knew that she couldn't return to her house so she followed him home.

He entered the gate of a huge mansion and parked his car at the entrance of the house. A man came to collect the key to re-park the car.

He coiled in shock at seeing a strange woman there. She came down and followed after his boss.

Since he had been working here he had never seen Xavier interested in women. Some of the household staff even thought he was gay.

"Gather the staff," Xavier said to the women they met at the door. She looked like she was in her mid-forties.

"Yes young master" she replied and turned to enter the house.

Jessica pinched herself and was shocked she felt the pain. She was convinced this was a dream because how did it happen that she was married to a billionaire all of a sudden?

"Come with me," Xavier said turning back when he noticed she had stopped in the doorway.

Jessica carefully studied the house and was convinced that the house could pass a castle. It was too majestic and beautiful.

Xavier walked into the waiting room and sat. He needed to introduce his wife to the household staff. They may have been married at first sight without getting to know each other but he was a gentleman and he was going to make sure she lived comfortably at least for the year they stayed together.

"Welcome Young master," they said one by one as they entered the waiting room.

Xavier didn't bother to reply. Instead, he nodded at them.

They all could hardly hide the shock of seeing a woman sit side by side with Xavier. It was not something they had ever seen. The woman in her mid-forties had been working at the Delgado mansion ever since she was a teenager and this was the first time she had seen the young master with a woman.

"Is this all of them?" Xavier asked when the woman they met at the door entered too.

"Yes young master" she replied.

Jessica did a quick head count and counted fourteen household staff.

That was a whole football team and extras. The size of the house from the outside was big enough for the number of staff she thought. It was strange to her that she went from almost being a house wife to a billionaire in less than a day. She didn't plan for that but that was her luck.

She felt her phone vibrate in her bag but ignored it.

"This is Roselle and she is the head of the housekeeper," Xavier said pointing to the woman in her mid-forties.

"And this is my wife," Xavier said.

The whole house staff gasped in shock. The young master was married.
