TWO YEAR LATER. It was Joshua's second year birthday and Xavier wanted a lavishly extravagant party for him. Jessica was of the opinion that they make it something small with family and friends but Xavier wanted to brag about his son to his partners. Jessica did not see the need to have a lavish birthday for a two-year-old child. They had a lavish party at his first party and it seemed like Xavier was willing to make it a yearly thing. They had a long discussion which almost led to an argument between them. In the end, Jessica succumbed to him to allow peace to reign. It was not going to affect her in any way so she could allow for the party. Xavier had gone through long lengths and given the party planning process to a specialist. The party was too lavish to be called a one year old birthday. It was almost as lavish as the parties that Alicia and Jason threw once in a year now. They said they would make it a thing because they became an item after a party and they might help othe
The party ended when the children could not keep their eyes open for the rest. Brain and Leslie took their children and called it a night while Alicia and Jason promised to continue their party at a bar. The rest of the partners and high-class people who were invited took their children home after making meaningful connections at the party. "You can put Joshua to bed while I go have a rest," Jessica said as she turned back to her husband carrying the boy. "I always have to put him to bed why don't you do so today?" "For many reasons," she told him. "Like?" "For starters, he likes it when you put him to bed and also you are the one who organized this party to tire him out, and then he looks too much like you" she stated. "That's not true" he protested. "It is and the only reason you refuse to admit is because you know it is true""Okay okay, but I am not accepting because I agree. I only want you to go freshen up and wait for me" he said with a wink. "Xavier," Jessica said in a

The dim light in the club made Aletta uncomfortable. She wanted to run out of the place as soon as possible. She looked to the right of her where Joshua sat in the VIP boot. He too looked uncomfortable. She thought to herself once again. 'Why was she here? Why did the person who brought her here seem as uncomfortable as her?' She saw one of the girls bend over and whisper something into Joshua's ears. She did not like the closeness between them. She looked around her and snatched the bottle off the table, opened it up, and took a huge chug of it. She winced as if she were bitten by an insect as the bitter hot drink burnt through her throat. She was here for an official assignment so she should not be drinking but the thought of what those girls were doing to Joshua sent a strange feeling down her spine. What if he needed help? What was she going to do? Hell, she always thought that she had overcome her long-standing crush on him. Who did not have a crush on Joshua Delgado? He was a
Joshua steadied Aletta. She laid her head on his chest and mumbled a few words he could not make out before she proceeded to chew on something in her mouth. He heard her make a sound as if she was about to throw up. "Ms. Brunswick," he said slowly as if he was warning her not to go through with her plans. There was no way he would be getting his designer soiled by her dinner. The sound she made earlier was now lost in the sound of the club. He searched his pocket with one hand while the other hand was holding her firmly to his chest. It would be a disaster if she fell. He pulled out his phone and a sort of triumphant smile crossed his lips. He was good at everything after all. He put a call through to his bodyguard and driver. There was no way he would be the one to carry out Aletta all by himself. What would the world say if they saw him doing that? There would be a commotion which would take the legal and PR team a little more effort than needed. When he sensed it might take a lit
Joshua was shocked at the confession. He was always the center of attraction but coming from someone who he thought spared him no glance, it was a bit overwhelming. He shuffled on his feet in embarrassment not knowing how to handle the situation. "What?" he found the words leaving his mouth in confusion. Jack gasped in fear. He did not know if he heard right or if his imagination was playing tricks on him. It was quite rare for him to see Aletta act like this and now she was confessing love for Joshua? "Ms. Aletta, I will help you out," Jack said pulling her backward and holding on to her firmly. "I will take her down and get a cab. You can take your time before coming out sir" Jack said. He knew that she would be embarrassed if she remembered by morning. He needed to save her before she made any further mistakes. "Don't do that" Joshua's voice that started high at the start of the sentence ended low as if he was losing battery power. "What?" Jack said turning to face him with sh
Light rays hit Aletta's eyes and she groaned in frustration. Unlike how the movies make it seem, there was nothing magical about waking up to the sun hitting your face especially when you have a throbbing headache. She shifted but noticed that her bed was smaller than usual. Why was her bed smaller? Why could she not move as she would like? Her eyes flickered open like the light bulb on the rusty walkway that would reek of blood. She noticed she was on the couch and not the luxury bed that she worked so hard to get. Her open eyes sent a headache surging through her entire being. "What the hell?" she groaned in pain. "That is what serves you right," Alethea said as she walked into the living room with a tumbler in hand. She sipped out of it before sitting on the sofa beside the couch where she was lying. "What?" Aletta said with so much difficulty. "So tell me when did you get a boyfriend? I thought you were going to devote your entire life to working for money so you can be stink
Hello Guys this is the final chapter. I want to first appreciate everyone who has read this book, who had supported, commented, voted and called me order when I did not update for such a long time. Thank you so much for being such a support in these times. As this work comes to an end I hope you support me in upcoming works. 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
