Hey Readers. My past week had been a whole lot and I am sorry for the irregular updates. I plan to make it up to us with regular and faster updates the week as I can. Thank you for your support. Your Writer 🌻
The sun began to set and the both of them sat at the edge of the sea just starting at the sunset. "It's so beautiful out here" Jessica commented. Xavier looked at her. It was true it was beautiful and her being there made it all picture-perfect too. 'What are you thinking' he shouted inwardly at himself. Did he just think that his wife in this scene was beautiful and she was the reason everything was so bright and beautiful? He wanted to stand up but could not get himself to do so. He wanted to watch her again and not take his eyes off her. His phone suddenly rang in his pocket. The both of them were startled and they looked at each other. Xavier was lost in the trance and left the phone ringing while staring at her. "Aren't you going to get that?" Jessica asked whispering and touching his hand gently that was on the sand. "Erm," he said and jumped back to life. "Oh yeah I am having a call"He pulled out his phone from his pant pocket and looked at the name. It was Brian. Xavie
The ride back was comfortable and a flow from the earlier vibe felt by both parties. The radio was playing a slow song and both parties just sat while Xavier drove. The silence was comfortable enough that Jessica found herself sleeping already. Xavier noticed her sleeping when her head jerked as she slept. Xavier helped her move her head to a comfortable position so her neck doesn't ache. After driving for long he pulled up to the gate of the mansion. Everywhere was dark and gloom and he still needed to go out to meet Jason. He would throw a grown-man tantrum if he did not come. Xavier parked his car in front of the main entrance. He did not want to wake Jessica up as it looked like she was sleeping soundly. He quietly switched off the car and opened the door. He went to the passenger side of the car. He opened up the door and gently removed the seatbelt from her body. In his arms, he carried her bridal style and instructed the staff standing close by to bring in her bag. Jessica
Jessica sat up straight when she knew Xavier would be far away from the house. She removed the blanket from her and looked down at her dress. It was stained and she hoped she would be able to get the stain off it. She entered the closet only to discover that her clothes were no longer there. She entered back into the room and stared at her suitcase by the door. She planned to leave the room as soon as she had gotten home. Xavier's warmth today and consideration made her feel strange about leaving the room. If she did not leave it would mean she was fickle and did not have a mind of her own. If she left it would mean she did not consider him after all the help she got. She was confused. She was sure she needed an opinion that was not hers. She looked at her bag on the chair that contained her phone. She pulled it out and stared at the screen. She has multiple missed calls from Leslie, Burke, and an unknown number, and then some text messages. She got to know that the unknown numbe
"Hit me with your question," Leslie said when she heard the distress in her friend's voice. "You know how Xavier is?" Jessica asked. She wanted to justify her actions by telling herself that Xavier was at fault and she did nothing wrong. She only tried to avoid the situation but then it got worse because of his attitude."Oh boy who doesn't," Leslie said rolling her eyes. "So we argued yesterday and I decided to move out of the room we share..." "You two share a room?" Leslie asked citing her off shocked. "Yes, we do. Back to the main point" Jessica continued "And none of you have made a move on the other?" she asked. "Yes, that is correct. Can I ask my question?" she continued. "Wow, I can't believe that. The two of you are attractive so it makes no sense" Leslie continued. "Leslie, back to the main point," Jessica said with a stern voice. It was not a matter of why they did not find each other attractive. It was a matter of what she needed to do at that point. Should she hol
Jessica unpacked her suitcase and changed into something comfortable for bed. She has a rather long shower to wash away the sickness from the drink that she wore all day. As she entered back into the room she met Roselle dropping a tray of food to the table. "What is that?" Jessica asked startling the woman. "Oh my God young lady you startle me," Roselle said her hand going to her chest. "You startled me. I did not expect to see anyone in her when I came out of the bathroom" Jessica said back. "The young master asked that I deliver a meal for you tonight," Roselle said. Jessica felt her stomach feel funny when she heard the meal delivery was Xavier's idea. It was not the first time that he cared about her dinner before. If one could look past his excesses and impossible personality she was a gem underneath the rough surface. "Thank you," Jessica said as she felt a smile climb up her face. She walked to the table where the meal was placed. Roselle watched her and could not help
A huge smile climbed up Dawson's face. Ever since he left the hospital this was the first of its kind news. "What do you mean?" Dawson asked. It would be wrong for him to jump to a conclusion without knowing what it was about. "It seemed like something went wrong when they went out today but the young master came home carrying the young lady in his arms. Her dress was stained ad if something poured on it" Roselle said. She was happy to be the one to bear and deliver such great news. She would be elated if the young master finally finds someone who he can love. "What about that scene tells you it's a great time to send them both away? They need to be closer before we can send them away. Xavier was probably just extending a helping hand to her" Dawson said disappointedly. "That's not all," Roselle said. " When Xavier was leaving I saw hearts shooting out of his eyes as he spoke about the young lady. He was gentle and compassionate too" Roselle said. "Hmm!" Dawson said as he signed
"Hello Roselle, I never thought I would hear from me again. You did not reach out when I stopped coming to the house" Leslie said as soon as she picked up the call. "Hello Lady Leslie," Roselle said pulling the phone from her ears and putting it on loudspeaker. "I told you I am not a lady I am just Leslie. Can't I be just Leslie to you?" Leslie asked with a cute voice. "You are just Leslie that's for sure," Dawson said with a chuckle in his voice. Hearing her voice rose his spirit in a kind of way. Her cheerful attitude was contagious even over the phone. "Oh Dawson, the whole Delgado family abandoned me when I married Brian. Was it because I no longer loved Xavier?" Leslie asked. "Of course not. I repent I would call you more often now" Dawson said. "Can we ask you questions about today?" Roselle asked the question cutting off the long talk. "I am all ears," Leslie asked. "What happened at the cafe that made you go to the police station?" Dawson asked taking the lead. "Don't
"Oh yes the honeymoon," Dawson said calming down a bit. He was angry that a mere man dares to harass a member of the Delgado family but he could not deny that maybe that strange girl had helped put Xavier and Jessica together. "What do we do Chairman?" Roselle asked. "I think I need to send Xavier to Aurora Haven to meet Ethan Ramirez," Dawson said. "Who is the?" Roselle asked. "Ethan Ramirez is one of our greatest investors and he is keen about family. He was the one who pushed my son into an early marriage. He only works with family men and women" Dawson replied a smile climbing his face. "So if the young master wants to go see him, he has to take the young lady along too?" She asked. "Yes or else he would not invest in any of Xavier's future businesses," Dawson says giving himself a mental back pat for thinking of such an idea. "I think that's a fantastic idea, Chairman" Roselle said. "Let Xavier see me immediately after he gets back," Dawson tells her. "The earlier we set
