In Love With You 29. Thoughts on it
In Amber's hotel room."What are you going to ask her for?" Amber said falling to the bed as soon as they returned."What?" Victoria asked absentmindedly, taking off her flats."She said she was willing to do anything, what do you want her to do before you accept her proposal.""Gosh Amber, I already told you I'll decline it," Victoria said going into the bathroom."You also told her you'd think about it," Amber said in a louder tone so Victoria could hear her in the bathroom."That was due to your influence, I will call tomorrow and say no to her." Victoria wiped her hand with a towel, coming out of the bathroom."Come look at this." "What is it?" Victoria joined Amber in bed to see what she was looking at.It was pictures of a teenager who looked 19 or so. "When she said his picture was not on the internet, I knew it was impossible," Amber said."Is that her son?" Victoria took the phone from her."His old photos, I think.""No recent ones?" Victoria asked again scrolling through

MorningJake closed his eyes, his head thrown back as he sat in his home office. This wasn't the first time Drew was seeing him do what he just did. He knew his boss was often tired and didn't get just enough sleep to complement the times he stayed up working.Sitting back up, Jake rubbed his eyes with his thumb and index finger. He clicked through the emails on the laptop in front of him, where he didn't receive work-related emails. Drew was busy sorting out the files from last night on the table.Jake stopped scrolling and he noticed. He also noticed Jake contract his left fingers into a fist and then release them repeatedly. "Is the president here?" He heard Jake ask if Gemma was at the mansion."Yes, I think so." Jake closed the laptop and left the office. Drew followed immediately but not because he needed to, he just wanted to see what Jake was angry about, to know what he saw in the email."What did you do?!" Jake walked up to the opposite end of the table where his mother wa

Later, early evening.Jake had Drew cancel their plans and appointment for the rest of the day, because of Victoria's call.He knew a driver had gone to get Victoria and he was unusually nervous. He didn't know how he was going to face her again after their first time meeting. He did something he would never do that day and that was why he had left before she woke up, he couldn't face her, but he had to now, he needed to.He would apologize for that night and hope she didn't hate him for it.Gemma looked at her son who sat at the other end of the car, thinking while he stared at nothing in particular. He normally would not ride in the same car with her but he didn't mind today, it made her happy. Victoria was the one, she finally found someone her son didn't want to push away. Many times, she had arranged a date with one of her colleague's daughter but he only got angry about it and never went. She had even set him up with someone on one of his business trips, but it was all void.Wh

Tn mansion.Gemma walked up the stairs, Drew behind her. She needed to talk to Jake. He was probably angry with her, probably? She was sure he was more saddened than angry, not about Victoria slapping him, but the fact that she thought he was a pervert.She had talked with Victoria after he left and she explained what had happened the first time she met her son. It made her more sure that she had done the right thing by asking her to marry Jake. He almost had sex with her, for all she knew, Jake had never been that close to any woman. Drew stopped when they got to Jake's office, he was going to wait outside. Gemma knocked inaudibly before entering inside."Jake?" She called but he didn't look up from what he was reading even though he heard her.She walked to his desk, where he sat, and closed the laptop. He looked away, he didn't want to look at her."Look at me, Jake." She started. "You should learn to trust me more son." She walked to the other side of the table, where she could f

Victoria put down the box on the bed and sat by it, sighing disappointedly. Amber hopped on the bed wearing her night clothes."Who's it from?" She asked but then noticed Victoria's long face." What's the matter baby?" "I've been replaced as the lead for the advertisement." "What?!" Amber was surprised. "Why will be they do that?! How can they do that even?"Victoria didn't say anything more, she just sat there trying not to cry. ' they shouldn't have chosen me if they were gonna do this.' She thought."Come here." Amber hugged her."This people are mean." Victoria started."From the judges to the directors, they just...." Victoria sniffed, leaving her words hanging. Amber rubber her back, sighing.Time had passed with them both just laying in bed, watching TV. They weren't actually watching, the TV was just turned on, so it wasn't quiet. Victoria still being cuddled by Amber, was in her own thoughts while just staring at the TV, she wondered if the universe was giving her a sign or

"Maybe because you are a billionaire?" She tilted her head a little with a smirk on her face. He smiled, lightly and unnoticeably at first, and then it became visible to her. She smiled too because she knew she just amused him. The waiter came back with an open bottle of wine, he poured it in both of their wine glasses and left."No, I don't think so.""You don't? Really?" He nodded to her question but now with a lighter smile. "Do you know how many girls, ladies, women even men out there, who would be willing to be your partner, they will marry you today, if you ask them to." "They are not you." He stopped smiling, talking with seriousness now."So you think I don't like money." She picked up her wine glass, smirking more as she shook the wine in the glass that was in her hand." I know You do, everyone does, but you're uninterested in my wealth.""And how would you know that, how are you sure I'm not doing this for your wealth." She drank from the glass.He smiled again, his eyes o

He was a handsome man, she had to admit. She was too angry earlier at the other restaurant where she slapped him to observe. She knew he was a good looking person from the few pictures of him she could find the night she stayed up, but looking at him now he was more than that."Satisfied?" He asked, after the waiter was back to clear the table."Yeah, it was really nice." She smiled but it occurred to her that he was asking if she was satisfied now he had drunk his wine." I didn't necessarily want you to drink it, you know what, let's forget that. Your mum, she said it wouldn't be a bad idea if we had this whole thing finalized this week, and I didn't wanna ask her but why they rush?"He didn't know how to answer her question at first but he figured that if she was ygoing to be his wife soon, whether it was an act or a real thing, she would have to know why the president was rushing all of this."In the whole of the Tn group, there has be one head, currently the head of the empire and

"It wasn't a date Amber." Victoria thought she should clarify that.She looked at the dress Jake had sent for her again. It was a dinner gown, it had a V-cut design and a silky lustre, she felt it when she touched it.There was also a pair of black shoes with a glassy heel, inside the box. Amber took them out looking at the size number written on one of them."Check if it fits you, I want to know if he somehow got the right size for you." She gave Victoria the shoes."What number is written on it?" Victoria asked collecting them."I don't see where it's written."Victoria tried them on and they fitted just perfectly. She stood and walked in them."It fits." She told Amber like she couldn't see her walking in them."Try the dress." Amber smiled excitedly."No, I'm too tired for that." Victoria was back on the bed. Taking off the black heels and putting them back in the box, Amber gave her the dress to keep too. "Maybe he's not that bad a person, like I thought.""And when did you ever

In Love With You 80. Can I Kiss You?
"I'm desperate Vee, I won't lie I am." He touched her forehead with his,"I just want it to be how it used to be, except that we are older now and I don't need to hide before I can spend time with you. I just want you and your love, I just want you to love me as much as I love you." Victoria didn't interrupt him while he spoke. She was confused just as much as he was drunk. When he said he wanted it to be how it used to be, she felt like he couldn't be lying or saying rubbish like she initially thought. She wished she could just remember the things he was speaking of and be sure he wasn't just saying those things because he was drunk.While she was still in thoughts, she felt his lips on her forehead. Jake kissed her lightly on her forehead and left his lips lingering over her head, wanting to kiss her in more places than just her forehead but he also was trying to control himself. He hugged her in hopes that it would calm him down from losing himself. He hugged her tight, his nose re

While Jake returned to where Victoria lay to check on her, Hale got a call from Felix and went and handed the phone over to Gemma."Felix," he mentioned who it was calling after she took the phone from him."The guests are beginning to notice young Mr Topher's absence, Mrs Topher." He informed her."Sir Gregory gave a cheer speech to his nephew's new age and asked for him to come clink a glass of wine with him and now everyone's wondering where he is.""Keep everything under control, we will be on our way back very soon." She told him and went to Jake."We have to go back...""She needs to be taken to the hospital." Jake couldn't believe her. He wasn't going to leave Victoria till she got to the hospital safely."Someone will take her," he noticed how his mother was back to being autocratic now that Victoria wasn't dead anymore."I will go with her to this hospital and be with her.""Jake!" Gemma got angrier than she could contain."Do you have any idea how bad things will get if you don
In Love With You 78. Years Ago: Saving Her
Jake got to the beach of the sea and stopped the car. He quickly got out and went to where a car was parked. There was no one in the car so he looked around the water and saw the people he was looking for. They were on a yacht so he ran towards the water."Stop!" He yelled out but they didn't seem to hear him so he yelled louder."Stop! Don't do it!" He waved as he yelled."Can't you hear me?!" He screamed out but the yacht only went farther on the water till it stopped going. He stopped screaming, thinking they finally heard him and that was why the yacht was stopped but that wasn't why.He saw them throw a person into the water, he could see the water around there splash. He immediately took off his suit jacket and dived into the water.Gemma and Hale got there just in time to see him jump into the wavy water. Gemma got out of the car immediately and ran to the shore of the water."Jake!" She panicked when she saw him swimming further into the water. "Hale, do something!" She turned

Jake snuck out of the party like he did the first time and made sure no one was following him, especially his nanny. He knew she wouldn't let him into the room again after letting him the first time. His mother had instructed her to make sure he didn't talk to or meet Victoria but she risked her job when she let him; she might not let him again. Looking left and right to ensure that no one was around, he opened the door to Nanny Therese's room and went it. He was surprised that the lights were turned off because it wasn't when he was here earlier. He wondered if she had fallen asleep for the lights to be turned off. He went to where he knew the switch would be and turned on the light. Victoria wasn't on the bed sleeping like he thought. He picked up his neck chain and went to the bathroom door to knock."Vee?" He called out to her, strangely feeling worried. Victoria didn't respond to his call after he called out two more times so he opened the bathroom door and looked around.
In Love With You 76. Tears Ago
"Jake?" He was called back just when he was about to go into Victoria's room. It was his eighteenth birthday and his mother had prepared a big party he did not ask for. After meeting many business men and women and thanking them for coming like his mother asked him to, he snuck out of the party which was holding in their large, hall-like living room.He hadn't seen Victoria since morning that day so he went straight to where he knew she would be, her and Nanny Therese's room."Jake?" It was Nanny Therese."What are you doing here? Do you want your mother to get angry at you on your birthday too?""I just want to see her," he explained to her."No. Your mother prohibits you.""Why is she in the room alone, I want her to be at the party.""No.""Did mum ask you not to let her?""Jake, please, just return to your party before the president notices you are gone." Nanny Therese worried that his mother might find out he left the party and she knew she wouldn't be happy to know that he came

"I would do that," she gave a reply to his question."I would drink a glass of wine so suddenly like that." "Why? You don't like me that much?" He asked and she didn't know what to answer so she opted for the only thing to avoid that question."It's not your turn to ask. It's my turn.""I'm waiting." He complied."Why don't you like your brother?" She asked something he didn't know if he could answer or not. He was starting to realize that she had lots of questions he wouldn't want to answer and he could end up drinking more than he could handle."You really want me to get drunk, don't you?" He asked and Victoria's eyes widened."Me? Get you drunk? No. Of course not." She swallowed and started to use her hand as a fan even if the air conditioning was working well."I make stupid decisions when it's you involved. I shouldn't have agreed to this, I'm surely getting drunk tonight.""You don't have to play the game if you feel like that." Victoria said to sound innocent and hoped he didn'

Victoria sat in the car while the helpers put in suitcases in two of the cars. She couldn't believe she actually did agree and was about to go to the airport and take a flight to the renowned Katar beach in M-city. She had always wanted to go there so she picked that place. At least, there would be an advantage to her agreeing to go on a honeymoon trip with him.She had spoken to him after her call with Amber yesterday and he assured her that they will be back two weeks before the preplanned fashion show so she can return to practicing with the other models.*****M-city."Wowww," Victoria let her eyes wander around her when she got out of the car that just stopped in front of the beach's resort."Do you like it?" Jake came up behind her."I love it. The place is beautiful. Much more beautiful than I thought." She had the biggest smile on and it made Jake happy."Your room," the hotel manager showed them to an executive suite and waited for Jake's comment but Victoria spoke first."It

"So, how's my brother-in-law doing?" "O my god, Amber, it's just for some months," Victoria told her friend and heard her laugh out loud over the phone."Mark my words, it's gonna be longer than that, way longer. I know love when I see it.""Here we go again.""You know I have a way to detect love when I see it.""And is that because he's billionaire Jake Topher?" Victoria laughed back before getting a knock on the door."Who is it?! Cora? Emily?" She asked, but when she didn't get a response, she decided to go for the door, leaving her phone on the bed."Give me a second, Amber,""Alright..." Amber replied to Victoria who was already by the door."Emily, I told you already, I eat all the types of fruits, so anyone you use to make my fruit salad is okay." Victoria started to talk before opening the door."Please don't come up to ask me again," She said on opening the door but saw that it wasn't Emily and neither was it Cora."Are you busy right now?" Jake asked her when she stood for s

"How did I? I guess I have a superpower, like you do" he reminded her of what she told him yesterday when they were alone in the kitchen.She laughed shortly."Okay, let's do this..." She had an idea to get him to tell her more of the things she wanted to know about him."How about I tell you about my grandma and our not-so-good relationship and then you tell me about you and your mother, and maybe your brother too?"Jake nodded. He didn't need her to tell him about her grandma because he knew her well, he knew about her relationship with her grandma but yet he nodded, anything to please her."Okay, I'll start." Victoria smiled. "My grandma is a nice woman, the nicest, I love my nana but...I haven't been on good terms with her since I turned eighteen, I mean there were a lot of things that led up to that but when I became eighteen, it kinda got out of hand." She paused and looked up from fiddling with her dish. After seeing that he was listening, she continued."I was in my Nana's roo
