Jessica had the food to her fill and then she left to the house. She entered the house and went straight upstairs since she already had a hearty dinner. As she pushed the door open she met Xavier sitting on the bed in casual wear. Her eyes went to the wristwatch on her wrist. It was barely past seven pm but Xavier was around. "You are home early?" she asked entering the room and closing the door behind her. She dropped her bag on the table and went over to the can't table removing her earrings and putting them into her jewelry box. "Yes, I thought we could have dinner together like you suggested," Xavier said looking everywhere in the room apart from her. Jessica stared at Xavier through the mirror in her front. She could sense his discomfort when he said that. He took all the courage to ask her to dinner. If she said no or turned him down he might take it the wrong way. She would just have to suck it up and have two dinners. She could not possibly die from overeating. Or could s
Jessica got cooking and cooked something minimal. Since she did not have the time and she was slightly exhausted she only cooked spicy pasta with cream sauce. When Xavier say down to eat at the table he was somewhat disappointed with the light spread as compared to the morning. He did not take it to heart since she had short notice and she was also exhausted from the day's activity. He thought it thoughtful of her to prepare a meal for him regardless. He had always had an extremely hard time eating meals. He skipped breakfast because it reminded him of his mom. His lunch time was usually occupied with lunch meetings which he would barely touch not to talk of eating. He usually had salad or any other light thing for dinner which was usually not enough. He was working so hard yet getting little meals. Something about Jessica's meals made him at peace when he ate them. He liked them but he was not going to admit it to her face. "Would I be seeing you for dinner tomorrow Mr. Delgado?"
"Stop what?" Jessica asked her eyebrow going up. He saw the expression on her face. As much as he wanted to be on a first name basis with her he was feeling kind of intimidated. It was a strange feeling for him and he did not know what to do with the feeling. "That thing you do," Xavier asked. Jessica was truly confused by his words. He had not made any sense. He told her to stop but omitted the important part of what she should stop doing. After she visited Dawson's hospital room today when concluded that if his grandfather was looking out for him so much there was no reason for her to frustrate him. She was not going to play the role of a dotting wife and neither was she going to throw herself at him hoping for a change in life. She was simply going to live in peace with him. What she truly understood by living in peace was being considerate of each other's emotions. She was not thinking about big emotions but just the tiny things like what exactly at this moment was making him
Before Jessica could fit herself properly into the rich cycle the first month was coming to an end. Eleven more months to go for her before she amicably divorces Xavier. The month had been uneventful. She visited Dawson at the hospital almost every day and he had asked her if she considered the honeymoon any time she brought up the matter of him coming home. Jessica has sometimes overheard Roselle pester Xavier into taking her on honeymoon. She assumed that both Roselle and Dawson were in on the plan. Xavier had evaded her successfully putting her off. When Jessica woke up that morning she felt a little funny. She knew what was coming up was her menstrual cycle. She has for a month forgotten how serious her cramps could get. She had landed in the hospital and even triggered a fever because of menstrual cramps before. Her eyes were open but she could not make it out of bed. She felt very weak as she felt her body losing blood. She forced herself up so she doesn't stain the bedspre
As Xavier let go of her hand for a moment she felt her leg give way as she felt weak and then fell to the ground with a long thud. Xavier who was worried looked at her on the floor not moving or saying anything. He put his finger next to her nose to feel if she was still breathing. Her breathing was slow but it was still there. She was still alive. Xavier helped her back up and did not let go of her hand until he was able to put her back on the bed. "Jessica what's wrong?" he asked worried. He had never had the chance to experience something as such. His hand grazes over her bare skin as he tried to drop her to the bed. He felt her fever coming up. She was burning hotter than freshly brewed coffee. Jessica mumbled incoherent words to him. She did not know how to explain to him that it was just her menstrual cycle that was acting up and causing her to hang to life by a thread. "Stay here, let me ask Roselle for help," Xavier said going out of the room. Jessica's eyes opened sligh
Xavier rushed back up and picked up Jessica in bridal style. He felt at that moment that she was light as a feather. He carried her and rushed down the stairs. "Angel, we would be back soon," Roselle told Angel who was coming out of the kitchen to see a rare sight of Xabier carrying a woman and Roselle rushing after him. It dawned on Angel that something could be wrong with the new young lady of the house. Before Angel could process to respond, both parties were out of the house and far from hearing what she had to say. She moved back to the kitchen to resume her duties. Xavier was getting worried. How did this woman sleep on the same bed and he did not notice that she was sick up to this extent? "Please drive faster," Xavier told the driver. He felt like the driver was taking his time and that Jessica was slowly slipping from in between his fingers. "He is well between the speed limits" Roselle answered from beside the driver. "Do not fear it would not be long before we get the
The doctor moved Jessica to a private VIP ward as directed by Xavier. She did not know how long she had been sleeping when she opened her eyes. She felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen as she looked around. She sat up gently and looked around she saw Xavier sitting on the sofa in the far corner of the room. "Stay down," he said walking up to her. "What of work?" she asked blinking multiple times like an innocent child. "I'm the next Chairman," Xavier said with so much pride dripping from each word. He already assumed the role of the chairman but since his grandfather was still alive everyone still address Dawson as the chairman. Jessica wondered bow she had already forgotten to who she got married. "I said lie down, the doctor said you needed all the rest you could get," Xavier said with the fear that was reflected in his eyes in the morning still lingering. "How long have I slept for?" Jessica asked ignoring his order to sleep. "It's past two pm so it's been about five hours

This free Chapter is for you."Joshua we would be late" Aletta screamed from the bottom of the stairs. "Honey are we using our government names now?" Joshua screamed back at her. "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
