In Love With You 35. The date 3
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

"You are still doing the advert?" Amber asked after the photoshoot. She had been in the training hall all day while her best friend was busy with her shoot."Somehow yes, but the video shoot was cancelled, it's just pictures now. You know Brown looked so angry when I was late this morning and the director too, I made him wait.""Don't look at me, it wasn't my fault, I woke you up.""I didn't say it was....""Urghh, I don't want to go in the bus with Brie and the others." Amber said when they both got to the reception and saw the bus waiting."Why?""Why? Are you seriously asking me why?""Wait, did you avoid them all day?" Victoria asked even though she thought she knew the answer to what she just asked."We could use an online map to return to the hotel?""Please Amber, let's just go with the bus.""Fine." She agreed. "Orrrrr?...." Amber said when Victoria thought she had agreed."Nope. When you say orrrr like that, I get worried.""Come on, hear me first." Amber begged."What?" "Or

"So that what?" Amber cut her again."Stop doing that, don't stop my words.""I have to, you are saying something I don't expect you to be saying.""What did I say?""I don't know, you are the one person I know that believes in love and now it's like you don't anymore, what happened?" Victoria didn't say anything after her for a while, she just pouted."So it's okay that you don't believe in love but it isn't now that I don't." She said in a sad tone."Tori." Amber called when she realized that they just had an argument for no good reason and even though they weren't mad at each other, she had just made her best friend sad. "I guess mine's okay because I always haven't believed in love but you, you are Tori, lovely Tori, who fucking loves love and it's disappointing that you don't love love anymore." She said watching Tori look at the paper in her hands like she was reading them but she obviously wasn't."I'm sorry." Amber said when Victoria wasn't still saying anything. "Tori? I sai
Last Updated : 2023-12-06In Love With You 39. D-Day
A day had gone by with Victoria preparing her mind for the D-Day with every passing moment. She could have sworn, back in highschool with Ken still around that her marriage was going to be special with a not so big but not so small wedding party but now she didn't mind at all.She was going to marry this billionaire and not ken but it didn't make a difference to her. She wanted to wear a long flowing White dress for her wedding in the presence of her grandma and Amber's mother but that wasn't happening,now she didn't even want her grandma to know of it. The only thing that wasn't changing was Amber's presence today, she was going to be her chief and only maid of honor. Checking how she looked in the mirror, she smiled, Amber had suggested the right dress when they went shopping yesterday. It was a simple but classy knee length white dress."You. Look. Amazing!" Amber complimented her when she came back from getting her shoes."Too amazing? Attention seeking amazing?""Nouuu, no no,

"I'm fine, I want to get married to you." She said noticing it was less sunny now than it was."You don't look convincing enough about that.""It's my first time getting married, I'm allowed to look as unconvincing and nervous as I can be." She said going back inside. When he came in, he saw that she was signing the paper. "Good, now I need you both to go out and take some pictures, there should be a photographer there. I want one of you both separately and one with you two together." He said computing some things into the computer in front of her."He should have just asked you guys to take those photos before starting the signing process." Amber said when they headed outside. "Where did he take you when you both left?""We just talked outside the door, nothing romantic Amber.""So he just tapped your shoulder and you went with him?""There's nothing romantic about that, is there?""Well...""O godddd." Victoria rolled her eyes.Jake was the first to take his picture, with his hands
Last Updated : 2023-12-06In Love With You 41. A long long drive
The drive was quiet as the car went on a casual speed. Victoria looked out through the window and watched the city to try and act like he wasn't there, seating on the other side of the car with her. She had tried so long through their drive to overcome the temptation of looking in his direction to know if he was looking at her or looking outside the window just like her but it didn't look like the car was stopping soon.They had been driving for more than an hour now and it looked darker outside. She checked the time on her phone and it was thirty eight minutes past six. She finally didn't care and turned to look at him. He was sitting still with his eyes closed, she couldn't tell if he was sleeping because he wasn't making a noise but she was glad he couldn't see her stare at him. His lips were pressed tightly against each other as he stayed in that position with his head resting on the car's headrest. Victoria thought he looked tired but handsome still and his jaws and chin were nea

There was a painting of a horse in black and white, hanging at the head of the bed, it added a classic touch to the room because it matched the white bottom sheet and black duvet which was spread on the bed .Opening one of the doors there, she was happy to discover that it was a bathroom, but it was so spacious she stood there looking around for a moment. The tall tiled walls were shiny and light reflective, there was a round giant bathtub enough for two persons to fit in it comfortably situated in the middle of the bathroom from where she stood.There was also a shower cubicle at the left corner of the bathroom, far from the bathtub, with a translucent glass around it. She hoped there was a towel waiting on the towel rack like the hotel because she wanted to have a shower and her bag which she packed back at the hotel wasn't here yet. After she checked around she couldn't sight a rack so she looked through few of the cabinets which she could reach, she finally saw one with folded w

In Love With You 62. Cooking with him
"Do you think you can use any of these?" Felix asked when she came to where he stood and looked into the pan full of vegetables."Is there any reason I can't use them?" She asked still peering into the pan because they all looked fresh and okay."Not really, it's just that we don't use these things after they become a day old, the chefs get new and fresh vegetables every day.""Every day? It doesn't look bad?" Victoria took one of the red and round tomatoes, looking at it."Maybe I could ask someone to go get you fresh ones...""No," She refused immediately."they look pretty fresh to me. Thanks." She said and Felix smiled, happy that he had tried his best to please her before he left.When he walked out of the kitchen he saw Jake arrive downstairs. Jake was about to retire to bed after his extra time spent at his home office when he noticed that the kitchen lights were on and someone had to be there, it was the only place with bright light downstairs."Why are you still awake?" Jake a
In Love With You 61. Disrespecting his dish
"Dinner is ready, Mrs Topher." He said to her."Is Jake downstairs?" "Yes, Mrs Topher.""He is, huh?" Felix nodded to the second question."He was the one who had me come get you, after the helper I sent returned without you.""I see," She said, her mind thinking of what to do, she needed to show Jake that she was angry about what happened so he didn't repeat it."I'll be there soon."Going down the stairs, she saw Jake seated at the head of the table and as usual, she went all the way to the other end and took a seat, his eyes on her the whole time. He saw that she wasn't all smiley with the helpers when her dinner was brought, it was obvious she was displeased with what he did earlier, she wasn't even looking at him.Don't look, Tori. Don't look. She told herself as she forked some salad into her mouth, she suddenly didn't want to be angry anymore now that she was here seated at the same table with him. She was avoiding looking at him, hoping she could pull it off; pretending like
In Love With You 60.His Kiss 2
Taking her lower lip first, he kissed her, pecking her chin region right below her lips before kissing her full lips again. He had closed his eyes the moment his lips touched hers and so couldn't see the bewilderment on Victoria's face. She wouldn't admit it to herself but it felt good, maybe it was because she hadn't kissed someone for a long time but she had kissed him before and she was feeling like she felt back then. He was a good kisser, he took his time to explore every part of her lips and his tongue wasn't rough in her mouth, he was so gentle that she didn't know when she had her eyes closed too. She wasn't kissing back but she let him continue. He would have stopped but when he noticed that she wasn't stopping him, he continued, stealing her breath as he kissed her more. When he finally separated his lips from hers, he met her eyes again they still looked confused. "Am I gay?" He asked her in his usual low deep voice and she shook her head slowly. She was lookin
In Love With You 59. His kiss
Victoria watched Amber smile weirdly when she saw Jake. She hoped her friend didn't say anything embarrassing as they walked towards where he stood.Jake left the garden before they could get to him, he didn't want to be close to Amber by any means so he left. He came back early, he planned to still return to the office but he thought to get some rest first. He could do that at the office but he most importantly wanted to see Victoria, that was his primary reason for returning home not to rest. When he asked of Victoria, Felix informed him that she was in the garden with a friend and he knew it was Amber, her blonde-haired friend, it had to be her, she was the only person he knew Victoria trusted with their secret marriage.Victoria didn't see him when she walked out of the garden with Amber, it was like he disappeared because he just left when they were about to get to where he was so they should have seen him when they left the garden. ‘he must have gone inside.’ Victoria thought
In Love With You 58. Amber's visit
"I'm Max, your brother-in-law.""I figured," Victoria said."You both have look alike.""Let me apologize for what I said during the meeting, it's just that I couldn't find it true that this union between you two is genuine, I mean there hasn't been a woman with a romantic interest in his life before now and suddenly he is married, I hope you understand." Max went on despite the dangerous eyes Jake had on him while he spoke."We were actually in a...uhm, a quiet relationship before we decided to go ahead and get married," Victoria said hoping she was doing a good job at defending their sudden secret marriage but thinking about it after she spoke, it occurred to her that if what she said was actually true then he(Max) would know about her."Really, Jake didn't even bother to introduce me to the love of his life." Max sounded like he knew she just lied and he did but was only giving a snide reply."I didn't bother introducing my wife to you because I figured you already knew about her,"
In Love With You 57. The conference 2
Gemma smiled after the man spoke, she understood that he had just been calculative at that point, he was in support of her stepping down and Jake taking over. He was one of the oldest members of the board, he was there when Jack Topher was still in charge and just like every other person seated at that table he was after the position Gemma held but he was smarter than most of them were. He had long realized that trying to overrun Gemma off her position was impossible and it would be harder with Jake so he lowered his ambition, he knew that once Gemma wasn't the head anymore, Jake would become the member with the highest share and he had a chance to buy more shares to become the second highest.Gregory's plan was different, he mostly didn't care at this point, he knew Gemma didn't trust him and Jake didn't either so he was direct like Max whenever he wanted to oppose any decisions made by them(Jake and his mother).He(Gregory) has been after the position of president since Jake's fath
In Love With You 56. The conference
Drew knocked on the door before he came in, he quickly analyzed Jake's glare the moment he entered, noticing Jake was not as much in a sour mood as earlier but decided to go on with what he came to tell him to avoid bringing it back "Sir, the president is here and is on her way to your office."As soon as he finished that sentence of his, he opened the door when he heard footsteps approaching the office. Gemma walked in with Edward; her assistant holding her bag for her. Victoria saw her in a different look for the first time. She wasn't in one of her usual and similar white apparel, she looked more bossy than Victoria had seen before in the white suit she had on. T"Is she here yet?" Gemma asked Jake who still sat comfortably in his chair."Mhmnn." Jake nodded looking in Victoria's direction.Victoria stood with everyone in the office looking at her. Gemma smiled but she(Victoria) couldn't tell if she was smiling at her or just smiling after knowing she was there already."We can s
In Love With You 55. Impromptu meeting
Evan walked into the mansion and after a whispered chat with Felix, he went outside and stood waiting while Felix came up to let her know that Evan was going to be the one driving her."Mr Topher wants him to drive you." Felix said approaching the table after Victoria was done eating.Cora immediately stood up when she heard him, thinking she was in trouble for sitting with Victoria and so did Emily but Felix knew Victoria must have asked them to."Oh okay." She said getting up and waving at both helpers while she left but only Emily waved back.Sitting in the back of the car, she watched Evan drive, he caught her staring when he looked at the rear view mirror. "Any problem ma'am?" He thought he should asked because of how she was staring."No." She lied at first not really wanting to tell him that she thought he took a wrong turn but after some seconds she said her mind. "This is not the road to the studio." She told him because even if she didn't know her way around, she knew what
In Love With You 54. Emily and Cora
"Was your day shitty too?" "Yes, but I think I'm used to it, unlike you, it's obviously affecting your mood so maybe you could tell me, maybe I can help?" He started on the road."No, you can't help." She shook her head."What are you going to do, I mean she already said it, others are also going to say what they want to say, you can't stop people from saying what they want.""Who said what?""Never mind." She said not finding the need to tell him about the things Brie said."Tell me, if you do so, I'm sure you'll not think much about it anymore." She didn't say anything more concerning how her day was till after a while she asked him something she just thought about."Must we stay together?" He paused the car at the red light and turned his attention to her when she asked that, she was staring outside the window, something she did often while in the car with him. "Must we? It's a fake marriage isn't it? I don't have to stay at the mansion, I could stay at the hotel till you want me t
