Jessica stirred in the bed continuously. Her body was waking her up but her mind wanted to rest since she was on something that seemed like a vacation. For what they would eat she can whip something up quickly before Xavier goes for the business deal.

They would most likely be leaving the premises by the next day so she was going to sleep in and then take a walk around later that day. Her body alarm did not fail her as she felt the urge to stand up. Frustrated she sighed and opened her eyes.

Her eyes flickered open for a moment and she saw Xavier's face so close to hers. She admired his features. She agreed that if she had been approached by such a competent and handsome man she would have agreed to marry him.

"So beautiful" she murmured trying to stand up.

She was pulled back to the bed by a strong hand. Startled by the turn of events her eyes widened and met with Xavier's eyes that came open.

"Whhh...aa...aa.. ttt are you doing?" she said when she found her voice.

    "What what what?" Jessica said rushing back to stand by his side. "Ethan just said he has to travel out of the city for an urgent meeting and would be back by the weekend meaning we can't leave until he comes back," Xavier said in a groan. "So we are stuck here for a week?" Jessica asked as her mind began to comprehend what was going on. For some reason, she had a feeling that everything was preplanned. The way Dawson had the sudden urge to visit Ethan and the way he acted at the airport. Bringing them to this little vacation house that looked like a cottage instead of housing them in his mansion or a hotel. It was as if the house was small on purpose and the whole scenery too. Dawson was the one who put everything together. A laugh escaped her lips and Xavier turned to face her. Was the current situation funny? Was it funny to her that he would need to leave his work for a while a week just to get a major investor to reinvest in their business? "Oh don't get me wrong," Jessica

    "Oh Hello Dawson," Jessica said cheerfully over the phone. "Jessica how I miss you""And I miss you too," Jessica said. She did miss him if she was being honest. His sarcastic comments and remarks flew all over the place. "Is the phone on speaker?" he whispered like he was ready to reveal the world's dangerous secret. "No" "Okay then, I know what Xavier called to complain about. Ethan is not around and you might have to stay there for a few more days" Dawson said. Jessica found herself howling inside. She recalls Dawson telling her to go on honeymoon a while back. She did not know he would take the matters into his own hands. "Do you have a special assignment for me?" she asked him with a smile on her face. "Oh yes, I do. It is a honeymoon for you so utilize it very well and maybe you can bring home a great-grandchild for me" she added. "And don't you dare say you can't do it" he added stopping her protest before she could get it on. "I can't do it" she said. She could not do

    "Are you ever going to come see me in Crescent Bay?" Jason asked Alicia who had escorted him to the airport. After the launching party, Jason had helped Alicia wrap up and then they had spent the next couple of days with Jason trying to throw his charm around hoping that she would fall for him. She had decided to give him a ride to the airport since his business partner and friend were not in town at the moment and Jason blessed Xavier in his heart for taking the trip at the moment. "Well maybe if I get the opportunity to partner with someone there I might be visiting soon," Alicia said.Of course, she wanted to go to Crescent Bay and not because of business but she wanted him to invite her over. She wondered how he was yet to ask her out. She sensed his growing affection for her and the way he threw his charm around. Even if he were not doing anything intentionally to make her fall she had already fallen deeply for him and all she waited for was the question from him and she was

    "Oh well, would you look at that?" Xavier commented holding his phone and looking down while walking to the kitchen. He had gotten off the phone with his grandfather and he was currently scrolling through the trending news. At least one thing he was grateful for was that the place still had good reception. "See this," he said tapping Jessica on the shoulder. She sighed and turned to him. "Yeah?" she said her eyebrow young up. He eyes fell on the phone screen and a scream escaped her lips when she saw it. "Has this been going on or is this a recent development?" she asked. "Recent" Xavier answered promptly. "I saw the sparks fly during the launch but I never thought they would get together so soon," Jessica said. "We all knew that Jason had a crush on Alicia but who would think that Alicia too?" Xavier said in amusement. "I guess people do not like to show you different sides to them and if you look hard enough you might see it," she said looking up at his face. His eyes came u

    "Haaa" Jessica screamed as she stood to her feet. The plate in her hand dropped to the floor and shattered. She took a couple of steps backward and stood as she watched him in amusement. "What?" he asked as he stood up watching her stand there with extreme shock on her face. She turned to move when he shouted for her to wait. "Wait, you don't want to get injured by the glass," he said walking cautiously toward her. "Stop!" she screamed when he was barely three more feet away from her. "I'll clean this mess and get a new plate" she added. She was going to act like nothing happened because it did not. His mouth just barely grazed hers and she knew it was a mistake. As much as she would have lived for it to be true. She knew there was no way he was attracted to her. "Let me handle it," he said not giving her a chance to respond before he moved to the kitchen. He came back armed with a broom and a dustpan in hand. He dropped them to the ground and lifted Jessica. As she felt her leg

    "Yes you did," Jessica said her voice going up several octaves. She felt as if Xavier was trying to play the victim when she had been kissed with her consent. "I apologize," Xavier said suddenly. "For?" she asked. At that point, Xavier just wanted to know how her life felt and hence what he did but from the expression on her face and the tone of her voice, it was obvious that she did not like it neither did she take it lightly. "Kissing you," he said. Ever since he had taken her to the beach he wanted to spend more time with her and since they had this holiday they did not plan for it would be easier for them to get closer. He did not need to ruin the atmosphere by doing anything like that again. "It's just that we were talking about kissing and I was reminded that I hadn't had my first kiss too" he added. 'It was his first kiss. Chill Jessica. There is no need to be so mad and upset about it' she told herself. Seeing him look so vulnerable like a child made her just wave it o

    Xavier stood on the porch outside as he watched a man dressed in a black suit come out of a white convertible. He bowed to him and walked towards another car that was waiting for him. "Who is there?" Jessica asked as she pushed her way out and to where Xavier was standing. "No one," he said coming down and towards the parked car. He went to the passenger side and opened the door. "Let's go," he said gesturing to her to get in. "I have to get my things," Jessica said rushing back in. If she was going to leave this comfort then she needed a few things. She put all she needed into the bag and went out. "Where are we going?" she asked as she entered. Xavier did not answer instead he closed the door gently and jogged to the driver's seat. He entered and put on his seatbelt. "Your belt," he said when he saw Jessica make no move to put on hers. "Where are we going?" she asked again. "I told you already. Aurora Haven is the perfect place to try out new meals and not worry about a thing

    Jessica certainly did not expect that question and was too stunned to answer. "I am sorry if I offended you. I was just curious" Xavier said in a haste. "No, it is not that you offended me. It's a question I have never gotten before" he told her. "Do you want to share?" he asked because it seemed like there was a story behind it. "Well at first when my mom died she left me with my alcoholic and debt breeding aunt who used up all the insurance money and then she put me in an orphanage home" Jessica began. She loved how attentive he was and how he looked at her. "Well in the home we were mostly maltreated and our punishment for any misbehavior was us going days without any food," she told him. She was sure that Xavier had never heard of anything like before. "And then after a while, I grew accustomed to not having food daily which resulted in an eating disorder for me. I had a hard time recovering. That made me take an interest in the cooking line" "All that happened to you?" Xav

"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.

    "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
