JEWEL'S POV
It was Saturday. Not just any other Saturday, it was the third Saturday of the month. A very important Saturday in my family. Why, you may want to ask? Don't worry, I'll tell you exactly why.
The third Saturday of every month is the day all of us will come together as a family to have a luncheon at my parent's house. Everyone was invited and by everyone I mean Tayo and Pearl's husband, Kelvin and her children.
I was still wary about the things happening with Pearl. I didn't confront her about seeing Kelvin at the mall even though I had caught her several times on phone calls with Kelvin and she was yelling at him over the phone about not coming home till she wants to. I only asked her to tell me again when she said Kelvin would be back but that didn't really turn out well because she snapped at me and chided me for asking so many questions. I quickly
Third Person POV"Laura, it's so good to see you." Jewel smiled as she opened the door of the house. When Laura came in, they hugged. "Mehn! This your house gets me every time I come here. It's so massive." Laura looked around and sat down. Jewel chuckled as she struggled to sit down. "As if your house is not bigger. Abeg, what will you eat?" Jewel asked as she called on the maid. "I'm not hungry, let me just drink something," Laura replied and Jewel gave instructions to the maid who rushed back to do as instructed."How is work though, Henry will not let me come," Jewel whined and rolled her eyes"He cares about you jhoor. When you are carrying his baby, of course he won't let you stress yourself." Laura teased. "Working is not stressing myself Please," Jewel whined. "That's by the way sha." Laura waved the topic aside with
JEWEL'S POVIt took a while before my husband and I got alone time.My husband. I chuckled. It does have a nice ring to it. I couldn't help but smile as I started at my wedding ring. I was official his. No more obstacles."Why is my wife smiling all to herself." Henry's voice came behind me as he dropped his blazer on the chair. He had gone to see his family off. I looked at him, the smile not for once leaving my face. He walked towards be slowly, a glint in his eyes."I can't believe I'm finally yours." I muttered softy as he wrapped his hands against my mid rib, pulling me gently against his hard body."You had better believe you. You are mine...and I'm all yours." He said in a low and husky voice, his breath fanning my skin as he kissed my neck. My eyes fluttered close and I bit back against my lips to stop me from moaning out loud."I have so
Third Person POV"Marry me, Jewel," Henry said, on his knees with his hand stretching the jewelry box forward. Jewel gasped again and looked at the ring. It was a real diamond silver ring that reflected rainbow colors on the wall as soon as the sun fell on it. It was beautiful. Everything was beautiful. This was what she wanted. This was what she needed. "Henry..." She was utterly speechless. She didn't know how to bring her words out. On the other hand, Hakeem was scared that she might not be ready. That he might have read the signals too fast. That she was going to say no. "I love you so much, Jewel. I've loved you right from the day I met you ten years ago and I fell in love with you over again the second you walked into my office. I've never felt this way for any woman and though it's exciting, it's also very scary." He chuckled and Jewel joined him too, through her tears. Henry cleared hi
HENRY'S POVMy parents were having an annual get-together that coincidentally fell on my father's sixty-fifth birthday but I didn't want to go. Jewel was making me go anyway because she knew I couldn't say no to her. She came into my room to see me still seated, not dressed up. She wasn't dressed either but unlike me, she wanted to go to this party so she can dress up at any time."Baby, why are you not dressed?" She asked me, sitting in the bed beside me."I don't want to..." I started and she frowned at me, causing my words to cut short."You have started again, Henry. Why would you even say that?" She stated, looking at me with concern."I just don't wish to be among stuck politicians and business tycoons. I already have a lot on my plate as much as I can remember." I looked at her and she exhaled, bringing her hand to my face and stroking it gently."H
Recap from previous chapterOn cue Ademola came out of the theatre and walked towards them, removing the bloody glove and disposing them. Everyone sitting down, stood up immediately they sighted her."Ademola, how is my son ?" Taju asked even before Jewel could. Jewel could feel him trying to be calm but there was an edge in his tone."He is stable now, but he is unconscious. So, we have wheeled him to his private Ward and we just see what happens." Ademola said."Were there any complications. Is he going to be perfectly fine?" Jewel asked her and Ademola smiled."He is in shape. We were able to remove the bullet before it when deeper into the abdomen. It was so close to damaging his liver but we got there in time to remove it." Ademola explained and everyone heaved a sigh of relief."Can we see him?" Jewel made to move but Ademola stopped her.
Recap from last chapter. We were lying in each other's arms, naked. My fingers ran through Jewel's hair, combing through it."You don't have to do it tomorrow." I whispered, turning to look at her. She was staring at the ceiling."I want to." She replied, turning to look at me."It's time I teach that asshole some Manners."________________________________________Third Person POV"I'm so happy to see you made it." Tayo said, a sinister smirk spread across his lips and Jewel scoffed. "I fulfilled my own end of the bargain. You will do the same." Jewel replied snarkily and Tayo ch
