3RD POV:A WEEK LATER:It had been a week since Iris gave birth to her beautiful set of twins and she had stayed at the hospital longer, to just be monitored and healed after passing out immediately after due to exhaustion. She however had her two twins, a boy and a girl, in the same room as hers being that her hospital room was large and luxurious.Meanwhile, Jonathan was currently at his best friend Tristan's marriage ceremony to Veronica. He had been appointed as best man and about three of Veronica's friends who were her bridesmaid, all gushed at the sight of Jonathan looking as handsome as ever in black tuxedo, with his nicely trimmed beards and hair. He was oblivious to their crushing which made him seem even cooler in their eyes.Soft music was playing in the reception hall in the evening time. Tristan's family owned chains of hotels making them extremely wealthy, so all the elite, business tycoons, family, cousins all gathered to celebrate with him. The hall was adorned with g
3RD POV:AT THE AFTER PARTY:Veronica had told Tristan, it would be wonderful to have an after party with just their friends and younger guests at another location without parents and older people there and Tristan agreed setting it up.So they were all at the new location where they had rented out a club/bar out for the night. Loud music was blasting through the speakers, everyone had changed to a more casual outfit, all the ladies wore shorter gowns and everyone was loose and ready to party. Bottle girls walked towards them with them with lights and drinks and a sign board which read, Congratulations Tristan and Vee. All Veronica's friends danced and behaved like they were outside at a club for the first time. The guys were just looking at them and picking out who they would be hitting on and dancing with tonight.Jonathan, on the other hand, didn't like this time of scenes, so he sat down a few distance away from them and literally began to read on a new recipe he was dying to try
JONATHAN'S POV:A YEAR LATER:“One year anniversary! Thank you my brother for doing this.” Tristan hugged me and I forced a smile in response, pushing him off making everyone else laugh.It was currently their one year anniversary and I had gotten MY private jet to fly us out to Kemela, a beautiful country with a beautiful beach. Carl and I were happy for Tristan for making it this far in his marriage. I was however going there for work, I had been paid over millions to cook one of the dishes I had curated myself. It sounded crazy at first to a lot of people, especially after an interview with one of the greatest media personality in the world, Lima Terry.I hated having to prove myself, but my team had begged and gotten my mother to convince me. So I prepared the dish I called Chef's Ris in honor of the lady imprinted on my heart, body and mind. I had prepared the meal at various restaurants and no other Chef could ever make it like I did.I am just too awesome.In the plane consiste
“Please….Please…Pretty please….For the love you have for me…..And I don't want to be stuck in that place with these people.” She continued begging in a child-like tone and I shook my head.“No, Quit acting like a child. I'm going to be working and you know you have to get along with them at the end of the day.” She pushed my arm in anger making my phone almost crash to the floor as she always loved to hit something when she was mad.I sucked my teeth in frustration and stood up and left. She was such a child.**********THREE DAYS LATER:It had been a hectic 72 hours. After landing I immediately took a nap and got acquainted with the assistants and the kitchen where the magic was going to take place. I had made it known, I would not be needing anyone in the kitchen with me. They obliged to every wish of mine and it had been going well. Until earlier tonight, I had stumbled upon a lady my mother had gotten me to go to a blind date with. Her name was Melody and she was a pretty lady ex
IRIS'S POV:It was a beautiful sunny day. I was so excited, in fact I was excited everyday since I had my kids. After I had passed out after pushing my twins, my parents had informed me on how scared they were that they believed that I had died. My father often joked that my mother was simply terrified at the thought that she would raise twins at her old age. The first time I held my two babies, a beautiful baby boy and a gorgeous baby girl, I had instantly fallen in love and a single tear rolled down my cheek thanking the heavens that I was given such cuteness. I smiled at my baby boy who was being fussy while my baby girl was sleeping.“Congratulations Miss Fletcher! Have you decided on their names?” The nurse questioned, my parents and Mariana who were seated instantly shot up from their seats and Mariana grabbed her video camera yet again.“Iris, name one of them, Diamond pretty please.” Mariana begged as she recorded and I thought that was such a cute middle name.I waited for m
IRIS'S POV:“There was no emergency. It was simply an appointment, and I had been given the second chief executive of operations. My father had said it was to prepare me to run the company. And you know what? I'm happy. I'm happy I'm not just starting as the CEO, and I'm super excited, people at the company seemed pleased. I'm also grateful, its operations because I'm truly interested in that. My parents know me so well and I finally have another job, another taking care of my babies.” I explained and Mariana grinned from ear to ear.“Get up, let me hug you.” She instructed and I stood up hugging her tightly. I smiled and appreciated as she muttered, “I'm so proud of you, my baby.”“I'm going to take you shopping later on, but tell me, is the Chief operation officer handsome?” She inquired and I shrugged.“His name is Oscar, and he seems like he's in his early forties. He is cute.” I didn't really care much to look at him, it was business.“Why are you even asking, aren't you busy wit
7 YEARS LATER:AT THE FLETCHER MANSION:“Just add a little bit of salt.” Jamie instructed, and reversed back while my mother recorded the two, like the proud grandmother that she was.It was a beautiful Friday evening and I had stopped by the kids and I's favorite store and grabbed a box of doughnuts containing jelly and glazed chocolate. I had a successful meeting with an investor, I don't know if he was truly interested in the project or interested in me. Rather than asking questions about the company and project, he was trying to get to know me. It was disgusting being that he was as old as my father, so I let him know right we were here for business.That was the hardships that came with being a thriving woman in an industry popularly dominated by men.I stood by the door watching Jason cook like a professional. Since he was as young as five which stunned us all, especially my parents who could barely cook and I was the same as well. I could make simple breakfasts but my son cooke
IRIS'S POV:A WEEK LATER:“We look so beautiful, let's make sure we get a couple pictures.” Emily announced fixing her short tight-fitted cream lace gown as all three of us exited out of the black limousine sent specially for us.Emily was one of our friends from college, who was an amazing fashion designer and a very enthusiastic girl. We only reconnected about five years ago, when she returned after training under a fashion icon in Riparis, a city of love. I have been wanting to travel there but haven't gotten the chance to. So for my honeymoon when I get married, I plan to spend at least a month there having a good time and enjoying the view. We were currently attending a silent auction for Miguel, Mariana's boyfriend, who was a talented artist. A lawyer and an artist was a combination I had never seen before but they made it work, though they had a couple of ups and downs. However, unbeknownst to Mariana, Miguel had met with my parents, Sophie, Emily and I to announce that he wa
