As they all sat down to dinner smiles flew around effortlessly. Jessica was for once to be a part of whatever it was that was going on in there.

Jessica felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She removed and turned off the call before dropping it to the table.

"You can get that," Dawson said gesturing to her.

"Oh don't worry, I will call them back after dinner" She knew that there was no way she would pick up the call of her aunt in the presence of everyone there. She did not even want to affiliate herself with the woman.

The phone went off a couple of more times before she stopped calling. Jessica knew that she was going to call back. She did this funny thing where she called nonstop for a short period and then went around to rest for a couple of minutes before she called back in full voice.

"It must be urgent if they keep calling you so much," Genevieve said.

Jessica hated that she had decided to bring her phone to the dining room today. She usually left it upstairs.

    "Thank you" she said as she pushed herself in. She pressed down her hair and smoothened her skirt before walking towards them. "Jessica, why did you treat me that way?" Olivia began but Jessica walked out on her. "How dare you? When did you become so rude?" she screamed at her retreating figure. "Oh so sorry about that," she said when she saw the expression on Xavier and Dawson's faces. Three of them said no word and walked inside. "Is everyone here just rude or what?" she murmured to herself and followed them. Jessica had angrily climbed up the stairs. Was this the way everyone would be aware of the kind of horrible background she came from? She felt so ashamed that a plan to escape in the dead of the night brewed in her mind. If she was leaving she had to take Olivia along with her or else the woman would suck dry the Delgado family. She began to feel her blood pressure rise. "We have not finished eating dinner so why are you here?" Jessica turned around to see Xavier standin

    The rest of the dinner was Olivia passing unnecessary comments randomly and the whole table keeping her silent all through. She did not take the hint but kept going on and on about whatever she deemed fit to talk about. "Who would take me up?" Dawson asked. He was hoping Jessica would volunteer. He needed to speak with her. "I will," she said standing up. She wanted to do anything to make sure she escaped that woman. She cared less about where it was that she would sleep that night."Okay, good night everyone" Dawson called as Jessica rolled his chair away. "Oh, Son inlaw" Olivia called in a sing-song voice. "The staff will show you to a room where you can stay for the time being," Xavier said standing up and leaving. "Rude much" she called after him. He did not turn back to acknowledge her but kept on walking. "I guess that the rich have to be rude," she said as she stood up. She walked around the house running her hand over anything that looked expensive. "How annoying of Jess

    Jessica hurriedly closed the door and went to her room. She met Xavier on the way back to the room. They almost bumped into each other but stopped before they could hit heads with each other. "What are you doing here?" she asked "Errmm...... I wanted to see Dawson, yeah to see him. I have not been able to see him since I got back from Aurora Haven" he rambled on. "Okay then be on your way and I'll be on my way," Jessica said turning to the side so he could go through. "I guess it's late, I'll see him tomorrow," Xavier said turning on his heels to go back to his room. "Wait where are you looking for me?" She asked chasing after his long strides. "No I wasn't" he denied strongly. "They always say strong denial is acceptance," she said walking side by side with him. "I was not" he repeated. "I think you were" she murmured gently. "I was not" he murmured too. "I guess you were," she said before she doubled her speed to the door. She tried to open the door when a hand covered he

    "It is so late at night, what is so urgent that could not wait till the next morning?" Xavier asked as he stood up to sit on one of the chairs. "I am aware of that but it was so urgent I had to call immediately" he explained. "So many companies are pulling out investment in the new company because of a scandalous rumor referring to the top model we used. "What?" Xavier could not wrap his mind around it. It was a bit too rare to have their models have scandals. The Braxton enterprise always stuck with models they had used before and for the first time, they decided to use a model who was new so they could appeal to the younger generations they had a serious crisis on their hands. "What is it? The scandal?" he asked sighing. "Scarlett who we used committed a series of crimes that the investors could not overlook""Such as?" Xavier barked. "Abortions, drunk driving, bullying amongst many others" he replied. "The investors are not too pleased and are asking why we used such a person.

    Jessica felt her heart drop when she heard him say he would get changed. Yes, she asked him to go but only because she wanted to sound good. She wanted him around so he would comfort her. His presence was enough. "What's that expression?" "What expression?" "How do you expect me to go if you have that expression on your face?" he asked as he walked towards her. He stood feet apart and she shuffled on her feet. "I did not make any expression. I know how important your work is so how can I keep you away from it?" she asked looking down and not looking up. "Don't you worry I would be going nowhere. I am sure the situation can wait till morning. Our legal team would do what they can do before the morning to get it all under control" he said assuring her. "I'll go get changed for bed," she told him as she passed his side to the closet. She felt her stomach leap got joy knowing he was not going to leave her alone. She changed quickly and came to the room. She met him sitting on the c

    Jessica had left the house with Genevieve. She has spoken to James' wife Lily who sounded like an absolute sweetheart. After Jessica had prepared breakfast after what felt like an excruciating long workout session, she had a one-on-one session with her aunt. Her aunt claimed she was not maximizing the potential of being married to a billionaire. Jessica advised her aunt to leave because she was not planning on extorting the Delgados so she would live a life she did not deserve. Olivia had made a big scene out of it and called Jessica ungrateful. She claimed to have taken care of her and she did not like how Jessica refused to repay. Jessica threatened to kick her out if she found her still in the house if she came back. "I can only imagine if this was how much pressure I made Dawson and Xavier feel when I did things like this" Genevieve commented silently as they drove. Jessica wanted to apologize but Genevieve kept rambling on. "I mean when I was a nuisance and making my family p

    Xavier was in the middle of a serious conversation about the termination of Scarlet's contract when Jessica's call came in. "Hello, Jessica I am in the middle of a business meeting. I will call you back later" Xavier said cutting off the call. The men in the room stared at him as if he were an alien that descended into their midst. "Let's get back to work," Xavier said in an ordering voice. "Boss, did you just stop the meeting to take a call?" Brian asked. The rest of the men wanted to know what just happened but it was only Brian who was brave enough to go head-on with the CEO. "Yes I did my wife called" the men exclaimed when they heard his response. He was not the kind of person to disrupt the meeting to take a call and he did not expect less from any of them. They had all heard of the woman who married their boss. Most of them thought of the woman as a superstar because how could she handle him at home? Most of them had a hard time coping with him for the little time they sp

    "What are you saying?" Xavier's voice came from behind them. "She got married to me so how is it that you are her only family?" he asked going to hold Jessica by the shoulders. "It's just that" Olivia started but trailed off when she could not defend herself. At that moment she felt like it was a wrong idea for her to have tried to extort them it seemed like they were not going to be moved by her ridiculous tactics. "Jessica can you take Papa upstairs I would like to have a conversation with your aunt here" "But..." "Oh don't worry and just take him upstairs. It is nothing serious and I can assure you that I will be up soon" he said cutting her off. Jessica nodded and went to stand behind Dawson's chair she turned in the direction. To be honest with herself she was greatly uninterested in being in her aunt's presence. She had had enough of her for a week and she had spent just a day. Jessica could not deny that Olivia was very exhausting to deal with. "I guess I better go to my

"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
