His uncle's sweetheart Chapter 40
The ride back to the apartment was dead silent, tension hanging thick in the air. Bernice's mind reeled with what to say-how could she explain all this? She had this dread inside her, knowing this might just be it, where everything fell apart between them.No sooner were they inside than Rafael whirled to her; his face was grave. "You don't have to say anything, Bernice. I know.Bernice widened her eyes in surprise. "What? "Ethan's my nephew, I know how he can be when he wants to get back at someone," Rafael said, his tone even but a thread of anger underscoring it. "He wanted me to doubt you, to push you away. But for some reason ,I knew he was lying."Bernice's heart stuttered in her chest. "Why didn't you say anything?"Rafael leaned back an inch or so to peer at her. "Let's just forget about Ethan tonight, and let's focus on us. We've been through enough."Bernice nodded, her lips curling into a faint smile. "I'd like that."Bernice stared out the window and smiled, the street li

“Ethan, we need to talk, now!” Olivia’s voice was very tense when she burst into the apartment, breathless. Dropping her purse on the couch, she narrowed her gaze upon Ethan at his usual spot by the dining table working away in front of his laptop.Ethan looked up, surprised at the fire in her voice. “What is it, Olivia? You look like its the end of the world.“It might as well be!” Her hands were shaking, and she snapped at Ethan. “ I will sooner or later get a bump. We need to get married now.”Ethan sighed, shut the screen of his laptop and leaned back. He knew that at some point he had to have this conversation, but it always seemed so far off, and now the time is here. Olivia, I realize you are being driven by nerves and a physical need for the rocking part of marriage; that if we get married all these problems will vanish. We need to be sensible about this.“Don't even think about it, Ethan,” His outrage carried Olivia's excited tones to shrill wavelengths. “People are going t

“You're putting Bernice in charge of the wedding?” Olivia's voice barely concealed her frustration as she aimed at Rafael, trying to keep her emotions in check. They were in Rafael's large living room, where they had just taken a unanimous decision. Olivia would have liked for Rafael to foot the bill without Bernice's help but things went from bad to worse.Rafael leaned back on his chair, his face holding an inscrutable look almost devoid of emotion as he assessed Olivia. “Yeah, Bernice will be doing the wedding preparations. She's got a good eye for these things, and I'm paying for it so her call works out.” Instant discomfort washed over Ethan, who was sitting next to Olivia. He could feel the tension among the women and had no interest in falling victim to friendly fire. He also knew that disagreeing with Rafael was not an option if he wanted to remain in the good books of his uncle. “That is kind of you, uncle,” he said as earnestly as possible. "We appreciate it."Bernice rem
His uncle's sweetheart Chapter 43
"White roses? How utterly predictable." Bernice practically snarled in disgust, reaching automatically for the sample book that the wedding planner now thrust across her, “But we want something more classic than this. Olivia, don’t you agree?"Olivia clenched her teeth, hoping to keep her voice steady. White roses are the classic ones. They are elegant and timeless.It just made Bernice raise an eyebrow, unimpressed. “Timeless, yes; but also boring. We can do so much better. Perhaps orchids or peonies."Madam Alice has been watching the exchange silently, she agrees with Bernice “Orchids would be luxury indeed, they are not as common and conventional as roses.”The wedding planner, a well-groomed woman who appeared in her early forties with an air of professionalism, added "Oh orchids are a very beautiful choice and you can get different types of arrangements to match the style. But if the bride insists on roses…”The bride," Bernice interjected caustically, "is mega stressed and not
His uncle's sweetheart Chapter 1: hurt
"What is happening here?" she asked in a very low voice which was barely above a whisper.Bernice's eyes darted from left to right then she began to shake from so much pain, the betrayal she felt was second to none,it cut through her like a very hot knife.Hot tears spring from her eyes as she watches the scene before her.This was unbelievable. Never in a million years will she believe that Ethan will do something like this to her. She could have forgiven him right here and now if only he had done it with someone else then it might be better but it was with nobody but her best friend Olivia.The shock was still plastered on her face as more tears streamed down her eyes.He was the same person who had called her just a few hours ago that he had running temperature and he needed some money for drugs but here he was groaning and moaning with her best friend beneath him,both of them entangled in ceaseless ecstasy.And to even think that she had turned down a marriage proposal from Italy
His uncle's sweetheart Chapter 2: Sebastian Fernandez
With shaky steps she got out of the cab and walked into the restaurant. It was already evening, the wind was so chilling and she hated herself more for not putting on something warm.She got into the most expensive restaurant in Italy. She had given the P.A a call and he had sent the address to her after making her wait for 30 minutes. But it really didn't matter now she was there already.She needed to act as soon as possible, her rent had expired and she had sacrificed lots of sleepless nights to make sure she was not a dropout."You must be Ms Francisco ."A waiter impeccably dressed came up to her, staring at her closely. Her hands tightened on her little bag and she nodded numbly."All right then, this way."He motioned with his hand and she followed him to a private lodge which was more beautiful and magnificent than the rest of the restaurant, so large and strikingly beautiful that it was only befitting for the rich. "Mr Fernandez will be with you shortly." the waiter said to
His uncle's sweetheart Chapter 3: surprised
She wanted to say something but the words were stuck in her throat and immediately a knot tightened in her stomach. She felt so suddenly hot and didn't know how to continue with the discussion. She only stared at him. "Are you okay?" he said ."You are turning red already, what's the problem?"It's nothing, she stuttered ."I'm just having a mad headache. ""Anyways, I would like you to meet me at my Mansion tomorrow so that we can discuss this further and introduce you to some of my family members ."before she would nod or comprehend what he was saying he had already gotten up and was out of the door. Taking a cab back to her apartment brought back memories which didn't want to have She thought about what Raphael had said to her when she pushed the door open and got in She was greeted by silence which she already knew was waiting for her. She avoided dinner, climbed into bed and as soon as her head touched the pillows she fell asleep.It was the chirping of the bird early the n
His uncle's sweetheart Chapter 4: wedding bells
"You look beautiful.'' The lady doing her makeup said to her and Bernice smiled as she swirled before the mirror. Her mermaid style wedding dress made her look so beautiful. Days ago she was trying to make ends meet, a poor and struggling waitress and now the bride to the richest man in all of Italy. The woman before her in the mirror was nothing like her. She was so beautiful and could even pass out for an Empress. Who says that luck can't shine on anyone it wants to. "On a scale of 1 to 10 rate my wedding dress," she said to the waitress."I will give it a 100 over 10." The beautician said and Bernice threw her head back and laughed at what she had done to both Ethan and Olivia.Taking the glass of vodka, she took a sip."Ma'am I think we should start getting you ready because the driver will come and pick you up soon.""Yes I know ."she said, giving herself one last look in the mirror and smiled .She was still admiring herself in the mirror when there was a knock on the door a
