Leslie and Alicia told Jessica to tell them everything that had happened and how it happened. She went ahead to explain how her aunt suddenly disappeared and how she was kidnapped out of the blues too. Alicia was so furious that she made Jessica swear to allow the woman to serve the maximum term. Both ladies were outraged by the situation. After a little comforting here and there they both left. Jessica wondered where Xavier was, they had come in together but he had left her to have a private time with the girls. She climbed up the stairs and entered the room. She saw Xavier sleeping on the bed peacefully, his chest rose and fell so rhythmically that she felt like lying on it. She walked to the bed sat on it and inched closer to him. She watched his features as they sat on his face. When he first met him she said to herself that he was not that fine but now she knows she was just deceiving herself. He was the most handsome man he had met and to crown it all he had a smoking hot bo
Jessica had insisted that they see Dawson before they go on the trip they had planned. They had planned a spontaneous trip and since Xavier was the originator of the trip she had no complaints about it. Her restaurant was still unopened but she just had a few things to put in place before the opening. She has even hired a few more staff. Dawson was elated when they said they were going on a trip. He had whispered subtly into the ears of Jessica to make sure that Xavier got her pregnant using the excuse of him being close to death's door and wanting to see his great-grandchild. Since it was at Aurora Haven that Xavier got to know that he liked her he decided to go back there. After all, it was a honeymoon destination for many people because of the lively cities and people in it. This time they used the private plane they had since Dawson was so happy about the trip he permitted them to use it for the trip. Brian had helped Xavier organize everything. He wanted the trip to be perfect
Xavier was amused that the same woman who said she was afraid was now sound asleep. He chuckled to himself and pulled out his laptop to catch up on work. He had enough people to help him out with the work and he was more afraid of leaving the company to them for a few days. He just needed to do his part of the work. He gently woke her up when he got there and she was amazed by the usual sight of Aurora Haven which was breathtaking. The car that Xavier and Brian had prepared was ready to pick them up at the hotel. "Xavier" Jessica began as they entered the room. "Thank you it's so beautiful" she completed turning back to face him. He stood with the door closed behind them and winked at her. "You love winking don't you?" she said with a smirk on her lips. "Are you going to continue calling me Xavier like my comrade in the army?" he asked and she was amused at what he was thinking by asking her that. "What do you mean? Xavier is your name is it not?" she asked him and he nodded. "I
Jessica had insisted that they go on a food tour around the city because she really wanted to check out the local foods again. Xavier was okay with the idea because the idea of seeing her eyes sparkle as she did the food tasting was a warm feeling in his soul. "What do you think about going on a shopping spree tomorrow?" as they sat down in one of the road by stalls. Jessica was the one who wanted the food tour but she was beginning to feel so self-conscious about the environment since everyone was either pointing and whispering about them or trying to take pictures secretly. "Jessica" Xavier said snapping his fingers in her face when she did not respond to him. "Yeah," she said snapping out of the worried trance she was in. "You do not feel comfortable do you?" "No, it's okay" she replied. Xavier must be used to the attention he was getting because he did not seem to be bothered about it. The thought that her husband was not only Chiachester City's finest bothered her a bit an
The giggles of the girls and the other women who were around the food truck lingered in Jessica's mind. Xavier found it strange that she was so quiet during their ride back to their hotel room. She gave short answers that seemed like they were laced with annoyance but not quite so too. When they pulled up to the front of the hotel she barged out of the car without waiting for the valet or Xavier to open the door for her. She walked straight to the elevator keeping a straight face. She was fuming but she knew the reason who not supposed to be a good one but it did not change her mind either way. "Wait up" she heard Xavier call out to her as the door to the elevator closed shut. She watched as his face turned sad. He wondered what could have changed her mood in an instant. What could it be exactly that got her that way? He waited for the next one and got to the room. When he entered she was taking off her clothes and unlike how she was usually she would have been startled to hear hi
"I am sorry, I did not know how to turn them down since they were all so nice," he said when she pouted and looked away. "You could not say no to them? I thought you were the master of saying no" she replied crossing her hand across her chest. "I was?" "You always had a way of turning me down when we first met. You did not know those women but you could not turn them down?" she asked not knowing how to add up what he was saying. "I am sorry, there is no justification for what I have done, I am wrong," he said using one hand to turn her head to face him. "I am sorry okay?" he said again. "Why do you have to be stupidly handsome?" she murmured and dropped her hands from her chest. "I am sorry about that too" he added and then she smiled sarcastically. "Am I forgiven" "I will think about it while I freshen up, you go and try to think of the wright way to apologize to me" she added shaking again this time his hands falling to his side. She turned and walked around him almost reac
Jessica froze, what did she just hear? She pulled her lips away from his and lifted her head. She could see his face since her legs were curled around his waist and he was lifting her. "I love you," he said again when he noticed the shock on her face. She was surprised he said it. She wanted to be the first to say it but he beat her to it. "Why now?" she murmured as he smiled at her. "What?" "I mean I wanted to say it first," she said in a whining tone. "You did?" "Yes but now everything is ruined because you just had to say it first" she continued whining. "You can still say it and I will pretend like you said it first" She dropped her head to his shoulders and whined. A laugh was threatening to escape his lips. Why was she being so emotional about everything today? He knew better than to ask her that. "Jessica?" he said and she suddenly raised her head from his shoulders. She bent her head and began to kiss him. Her action took Xavier by surprise but he did not complain bu
Hello Reading Family. I know this chapter is supposed to be explicit but the book is rated 16+and I am really bad at writing such scenes so I would pick it up and leave your imagination to do the rest. Thank you💜Xavier felt his hand trailing the whole exposed area of her body. His hand went around her pant line as he kissed her senselessly. He raised his head to get her consent again. It had not been that long since they had agreed to be together he would not be angry if she decided she did not want to go through with it. She pulled him by the collar down to her head level and began to plant little kisses all over his face. He lifted her again, it felt like she was eager and ready to accept him to herself. He began to walk backward until a part of his legs touched the bed frame. He turned around and gently placed her down on the mattress before falling on her. He continued kissing her, this was his first time and he knew it was the same for her, he did not know how well to do it

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
