"Jessica?" Xavier spat her name like it was some poison.

Why did she need to come up when they were discussing work matters?

"Yes, Jessica. If I go there then Ethan would have no problem giving me the contract because he knows that I am married and my wife died early but then in your case, he does not know you or if you are married" Dawson said wheeling himself closer to Xavier.

"Why do I need to take her? I am just telling him that I am married with evidence" Xavier said.

"He would not sign until he sees you are a happy young couple"

"Do I really need to take her?" Xavier continued in questioning.

He hated mixing pleasure and business. He looked up from his grandfather and his eyes locked with Jessica standing there with her hair nearly packed. She cleared her throat when their eyes jammed.

"I did not mean to eavesdrop," she said making Dawson turn and Gilbert turn his head. He had heard of the woman who married the spoilt little grandson of the Delgado family but he had not s

    "I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I have no interest in going with you to Aurora Haven. I even have to stay back to set up my restaurant so...." Jessica trailed off when she saw his expression. She did not want him assuming as he had done before that she was plotting with Dawson for any reason he thought. She hated traveling probably because she did not have the chance to travel but she would not want to go especially since she had seen his reaction earlier. "Let's go convince him that we would go," Xavier said ignoring her first statement. He did not want her to go but if that was what it took for Dawson to rest back then he would have to do it. "Aren't you listening to me?" Jessica said stopping him in his tracks. "Does what we want matter now? Are we going to allow him to travel six hours across because of us?" Xavier asked his voice almost in a shout. Jessica then remembered the reason why she should not like this man in front of her. Why did she even think that they

    Having him help out with her zipper was strange to both of them. Jessica stood stiff like a monument that was put in place. "All done," Xavier said as he took some steps backward. "Thank you," she said awkwardly and moved a step forward before turning to him. "I would quickly take a shower and change up and then we can go," Xavier told her. "Okay," she nodded in agreement. She did not have anything against it. If not she had promised Alicia maybe she would have escaped the whole scene and stayed home all day laying down. "I would go downstairs and ensure that a meal is prepared for Dawson's dinner" she called after him. She went downstairs and entered the kitchen. Angel's eyes fell on her and she whistled unconsciously. "How rude of you" Roselle chastised her. "What did she do that was so rude, that you had to scold her so much?" Jessica asked. She liked that at least someone in the house had appreciated her beauty even though Xavier was the first to see her in that dress all

    The makeup was done with a lot of complaints from Jessica. She found the style of the artist a bit too much than she could handle. "I don't intend to steal the show," Jessica said when Leslie tried to convince her to have heavy makeup. "You are married to a Delgado, you would always stake the show even if you did not mean to," Leslie told her. "Oh I see you are preparing for an event," Genevieve said as she entered inside. "Oh, my God. Lady Genevieve" Leslie said when she saw her walk in. Since she knew Xavier quite well she also knew of his family issues too. She knew what Genevieve did and why she did them. She has not seen her in a long while. She liked the woman for some very weird reason which seemed only appropriate to her. "Oh my Leslie," Genevieve said going in for a hug. "I have missed you and all the fun things you do," Leslie said tightening the hug. "I never thought I would see you again when Xavier refused you and you got married," Genevieve said touching her face

    Genevieve had left the room because of the tension. She could not take the deep stares going on between both parties. She decided Tobago Roselle out in the kitchen to prepare the meal for dinner. Jessica stood looking at Xavier hoping he would say something to ease the tension she currently felt. She felt her stomach knot together and found it hard to control her rapid breathing. Xavier stares at her deeply and intently. He wanted to compliment her but it was hard for him seeing that he had never had a reason to do so to a woman before. "Let's go," he said shortly after he saw her shuffle on her feet. "Okay," she said trying her best to steady her voice. She knew she looked beautiful. Leslie and Genevieve had told her how beautiful she looked. She has seen that the makeup artist did a fantastic job in making her shine. But how was it that he could not say a single word about how she looked? It was not like she was seeking his validation or any sort of thing like that. A simple c

    As the Lino came to a half and the chauffeur opened the door Jessica climbed out immediately. She has been in complete silence it was uncomfortable. Was he the same one who comforted less than forty eight hours ago? Was it just pity from his end? She hated herself for thinking of giving him a chance. She thought that maybe if she became close to him they could keep in touch after the divorce. Now she had to go on a trip she did not know how long with him. How was she going to survive being with him? "Jessica wait" She heard him call her. She wanted to turn back immediately.'But what if it's my subconscious mind that is playing tricks on me' she thought. She did not hesitate to keep walking ahead. Taking gentle and calculated steps because of the heels she wore. She felt his hand on her shoulders and although there was a thin net separating her shoulder blades from his hands she felt a jolt of cold current pass through her shoulders all over her body. "Wait" he whispered close to

    Jessica found herself enjoying the company of Xavier. "We have to go around like this for a moment to greet the majority of the people here," Xavier said in a whisper. "Do I have to?" she asked. As much as she was enjoying the company she was reminded of the tale of the toad in a pot of water that was set to boil. The frog did not know he was being boiled to death but enjoyed the warmth and subtle changes in the water temperature. "This is your first official event since we got married. It's the least you could do" Xavier said. "It's the least I could do. It's a contract. It's just a contract" she whispered as they went. Xavier heard her but what could he say? Assure her that it was more than a contract at this point. Or should he tell her that the money she would get in the end was more than she needed to do? They entered inside and the first person they met was Marcus. Xavier had noticed the not-so-subtle glances he threw her way when they signed the contract. It was obvious

    "What?" Marcus asked with a slight stammer that portrayed his confusion. Was there anything wrong in addressing her by her first name? He wanted to be a part of her life and he knew that calling her on a first name basis would make them seem close to each other. "Why did you call my wife by her first name?" Xavier repeated. Jessica tugged at Xavier's hand. She has no problems with him addressing her with her first name. It was her name after all. Xavier saw into the tactics of Marcus. He saw interest in Jessica in his eyes and he knew that he could move in at any time. There was no way he would let him have Jessica."Is there anything wrong in addressing each other by first names?" Gold asked with a small chuckle at the end of her statement. She thought he was being silly for asking such a question with a serious expression. "Yes, there is," Xavier said. His gaze was strong and uncomfortable on both parties as they stood there. "Xavier," Jessica said in a whisper. Xavier ignored

    Jessica stared at his hand. She was confused about what to do. Seeing that he had called Xavier by name that must mean he was close to him. She did not want another unsuspecting and innocent man to feel inferior and embarrassed because Xavier decided to do so. "Aren't you going to accept my handshake?" Jason said with a smile. He wasn't pissed that she was not taking his hand. Wasn't it normal for a girl to feel uncomfortable shaking the hand of a man she just met for the first time? Jessica slid her hand into his only halfway and removed it within a split second. A laugh escaped Jason's lips. "Hasn't your husband told you about me?" Jason asked. "Why would I need to talk to her about you?" Xavier asked his eyebrow going up. "Because I am your best of friends and business partner. I have helped you make a lot of money here in Chiachester and also in Crescent Bay""You aren't my best friend. I don't have friends" Xavier said squaring his jaw. "Oh you hurt me deeply," Jason said

"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
