2023-05-13 09:40:11"What?" Xavier said dropping the phone from his ears to look at this girl. How could she just think to get married to him when she knew nothing about him?
"Are you from the marriage service?" he asked. His question threw Jessica off balance."No," she said biting her lips. She was sure that her makeup was now ruined by all the crying she had done. The conversation she overheard made her decide to make sure she got married before leaving the courthouse and since this man was in desperate need of a wife she decided to step up to the task."You need a wife don't you?" she asked sniffling. Her crying had left her nose running."Yes, I am" Xavier answered. It just occurred to him that she could be an answer to his solution."I was dumped on my wedding day. I don't want to bore you with all the details but I see you need a wife. I could be your wife" She said.Xavier looked at her carefully. She looked sane after the ruined makeup on her face. He put back the phone to his ear."Ensure to get back the money from the agency. I would sort myself out. See you back at the office" he said cutting the phone and putting it in his pocket."Let's get married. I'm in desperate need of a wife so I need not be picky" he said and she nodded.She was dumped after all and it sounded well like Burke was not ready to get back together seeing that he had blocked her number. She wondered where the relationship began to go south and why he cheated on her."Are you going to go in like that?" Xavier asked pointing to her face."Give me a minute to fix up my face. Let's meet inside" Jessica responded turning on her heel and going to find the nearest restroom.It took her less time than she thought to wipe off her makeup. She had no tools to retouch the makeup so cleaning it off was the best option for her.She came back and met Xavier standing there. She looked him up and down and thought to herself that at least she wasn't going to marry an eyesore.He was pleasant to look at at least. Immediately he saw her he turned and started walking towards the reserved room. His wealth had allowed him to reserve a private room so he entered. Jessica followed him in and they both sat facing the judge."No witnesses?" the judge asked smiling at Xavier.Jessica caught a whiff immediately that Xavier was influential since the judge knew him and he was able to reserve a private room."I'll call two people to stand as witnesses then" he added before calling two people. A male and a female.The male was going to stand as a witness for Xavier and the female for Jessica.The process was shorter than she thought and soon she was legally married to a stranger."I now pronounce you husband and wife"

Jessica blinked multiple times. She could not believe she just got married. Under normal circumstances, she was supposed to give her husband a big kiss on his lips. Looking beside her at the stranger who she just found was Xavier Delgado, she still couldn't believe she was married. "Would you like to take pictures?" one of the witnesses asked them. "Yes," Xavier answered collecting the marriage certificate from the judge. "Thank you for today," he said addressing the judge. "Let's go take our picture," he said standing up and leaving. Jessica could barely comprehend what was going on but it seemed as if Xavier had come to terms with the fact that he had married a stranger. He seemed comfortable with it. Jessica goes outside and sees him standing in front of the courthouse holding the certificate. She approached him and stood close to him. "If we are taking a picture, we better make it believable that we just got married," Xavier said "You didn't ask me if I am okay with taking

Xavier was used to driving in silence but he needed to let her in on some secrets. "As you heard before my name is Xavier Delgado" Xavier started. Jessica was retained back to reality by his voice from her chain of thoughts. She turned to face him to take in all that he had to say. Since he needed a wife there must be a backstory. "My grandfather is sick and in the hospital and he had been hugging me to get married. I was to going to get married to a girl from a wedding agency but she didn't show up so I got married to you.""I had told my grandfather that we have been dating for a year now and that's why we got married""Okay," Jessica responded. "What do you do?" Xavier asked her when he saw that she responded. "I'm an assistant chef at L'Verine restaurant" Jessica answered. Xavier knew the place he had dined there quite several times. He wondered if she had seen him. The thought of her approaching him purposely since she knew that he was rich crossed his mind but he did not b

"Any other thing I need to know before meeting your grandfather?" Jessica said as they pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. "He is always tired because of the liver cancer so he can barely talk. Let's just greet him for today and that would be all" He replied. He hoped that getting to the hospital room would at least get him to stop talking at last. "Okay then," Jessica said pulling out a small mirror in her bag. She checked her image and practiced smiling. If they were dating she had to make it believable that she was happy being married to a stranger. Xavier stared at her as she did so. There was something very different about her. She has this aura surrounding her that he could not explain. "Shall we?" Xavier asked unclasping his seat belt and opening the door. Jessica did the same and they both came down. "Here is the ring. I hope it fits" Xavier said pulling out two rings from his picket. One has a diamond head crested inside a gold band the other had little diamond

"And who is this" Dawson said pointing to Jessica. "This is Jessica and she is my wife," Xavier said taking Jessica's hand and putting her forward.Jessica came forward and looked at the grandfather. He looked healthier than she thought. Was Xavier sure that his grandfather had last-stage liver cancer? "Good afternoon Mr. Delgado," Jessica said giving him a slight bow. How could she ever think she would stand before a self made billionaire not less than talking to him? She felt her feet sweating in her shoes. "Good afternoon Jessica" Dawson said smiling. For some reason best unknown to him, he liked Jessica. "Please call me Dawson" He added. "Oh, can I?" Jessica asked somewhat afraid. Dawson could tell that Jessica was not quite comfortable. "Did Xavier just tell you this morning that he was a Delgado?" Dawson asked to Jessica's surprise. "....hmm..." she stuttered not knowing what to say. "Papa," Xavier said. "I'm just asking your lovely wife here why she feels so uncomfort

The couple left the hospital room after much pleasantries and goodbyes. Jessica decided that she liked Dawson. He was a likable old man. She began to see where Xavier got his looks from. His aloofness and coldness she guessed came from his parents. The ride was to the house where she would be staying. She knew that she couldn't return to her house so she followed him home. He entered the gate of a huge mansion and parked his car at the entrance of the house. A man came to collect the key to re-park the car. He coiled in shock at seeing a strange woman there. She came down and followed after his boss. Since he had been working here he had never seen Xavier interested in women. Some of the household staff even thought he was gay. "Gather the staff," Xavier said to the women they met at the door. She looked like she was in her mid-forties. "Yes young master" she replied and turned to enter the house. Jessica pinched herself and was shocked she felt the pain. She was convinced thi

The introduction to the staff was short as Xavier decide to only introduce Roselle. He believed that she would learn their names with time. "Come with me," he said standing up. The whole staff bowed as he left the room. Sure they were itching to gossip but they wanted to wait till he left the house. Silently with looks that said talk to you later they all fled the scene. Xavier pushes his room door open and entered. Jessica followed, she noticed that the room was occupied but very neat. Looking at the picture frame on the table she could tell it was his room. "We will use this room together," Xavier said to which Jessica gasped in shock. "What, why how?" Jessica asked putting her hands up to her breast."I thought you would give me my room?" she asked him. "My grandfather has eyes watching us and in no time he would know that we are not together," he said, and although Jessica knew that he saying the truth she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. "Don't worry, I would not do any

The extra cash was going to her alone now. She went to her real estate agent to list her house for rent. Her agent had celebrated with her for moving out. Jessica had skipped over the details but told her that she had gotten married and decided to leave the place. Her phone vibrated in her bag again and she picked it up and put it to her ears. "Hello, Jessica" Burke's voice rang through the phone. His voice still sent shivers down her spine. "Hello Burke" she replied feeling the tears coming back again. The driver was going back to the house. She had decided to go rest and then get whatever she needed the following day. She was exhausted. "Why does it say you got married to Xavier Delgado?" Burke asked. Jessica was disappointed by his question.

By the time Xavier got into the room, he was startled by a strange figure laying on his bed and that was when it dawned on him that he got married to a stranger today. He felt exhausted from the day's activities and decided to go to bed and have a talk over concerning the contract tomorrow. He took a quick shower and jumped into bed. He used some pillows as a wall between them to keep her out. There was no way he was going to be allowing this woman to touch him. He barely knew her. He would ask his assistant to do a background check on her. Jessica's body clock never failed and by five am on the dot, her eyes were wide open and ready for the day's activity.

"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.

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
