Morning

Jake 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

    "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

    "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?"

    "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

    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

    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

    "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,"

    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

    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

    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

    "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?
