"Welcome to the best culinary school there ever was in this great city. Many applied, few were chosen. You happened to be one of the lucky ones. That is why you are standing here with me today. I hope you all will acknowledge that and put in your best because that is all we offer here. The best." A middle aged man, who is probably in his early fifties, dressed in a chef's uniform spoke. 'I never applied to this institution or to any institution. Jace only gave me the admission later when he came home last week.' Eliana thought to herself. 'He must have applied without my knowledge.' Eliana concluded on her thoughts."I am chef Alejandro Sainz, the head chef of this school. I have been doing this since I came to this wonderful country when I was just a teenager. From one restaurant to another, until I became what I am today.""I will be your chef for the week. You are going to meet other chefs throughout your lessons. With that, you will learn different techniques. From that, you can

"They have figured out the person responsible for trying to make the business go bankrupt." Luke said again."I will be there in ten." Jace said with a frown and ended the call."Babe, Where are you going? Is something wrong?"Eliana asked, her face laced with worry. She was already out of the car and decided to wait for Jace so that they could walk in together. "Not really, love. They finally found the person stealing from me. I have to go now." Jace said while walking to her."Oh that is great. It's good news, right?" She asked.Jace chuckled and said, "yes. It is." He pecked her on the lips and said, "I love you. I will be back as soon as I can. I promised Amelia to read her a bedtime story tonight." Jace explained as he walked to the car.Eliana nodded and waved at him. "Good luck. I love you too." She called after him.Jace also returned the smile before driving off.***Moments later, Jace arrived at the building he left Luke earlier. It's the same place they once had a private

Although Jace has known Mr Nicholas to be his father's good friend, he didn't know anymore than that."Your father and I went way back. We attended the same high school and college. Although we had different interests. While he was into football, I was more into art." Mr Nicholas said."Art?" Jace asked. Wondering how he then ended up being the CFO of his father's company.Mr Nicholas gave a dry laugh before responding. "Yes, art. It didn't turn out well for me there. Your father was the one who advised me then to take business management as a minor, since I majored in art." Jace nodded in understanding. "How long have you been working for my dad?" Jace asked after taking another swing of his drink."For as long as I could remember. After I became a failure in my own field. My daughter died and my wife left me," Mr Nicholas's expression turned sad. "I almost checked out on life. Somehow, your father still believed in me." He smiled, looked nowhere in particular."I started working w

That was the last straw. Jace thought there might be something wrong. Which made him do what he was doing. He also gave him enough time to come clean, but he didn't. 'I should have listened to Luke.' Jace thought."Mr Bratkowski, can you hear me?" Mr Wyatt asked when the silence stretched for a long time."Where are you now?" Jace asked, standing up from the couch.Mr Wyatt replied, saying, "I am In the office, about to leave-" "Don't, I will be there." Jace ended the call immediately after saying that."What is it?" Eliana asked, looking worried."I made a mistake. I will go and fix it now." He said and pecked her lips, then went to Amelia and pecked her forehead. "Don't wait up." He said to Eliana before getting into the elevator.He called Luke and asked him to call the cops immediately.Moments later, Jace arrived at the office building, he went straight to Mr Wyatt's office."What did he do this time?" Jace asked, through gritted teeth.Mr Wyatt went through some papers on his d

"Jace, will you come? I will tell you the whole truth." Mr Nicholas assured, when he noticed Jace was too quiet. Which means he was contemplating whether to go or not.After a long silence, Jace rubbed his temples and said, "I will be there tomorrow -""No. Please today. In Fact, now if you can make it -" Mr Nicholas seems to have run out of the time he had to make one call. He hoped Jace would show up that same day. With the hope Jace could also get him out of this hell hole, before he gets killed there.***"Why do you want to see me?" Jace asked, sternly. They are sitting in a room on opposite sides of a table.Mr Nicholas really looked like a sacred little girl."I am so sorry for what I did. I didn't have much choice. My family's life was at stake. I just had to do it to save them." Mr Nicholas said, sniffing back his tears.With a grimace face, Jace asked, "Is your wife or one of your daughter's sick?" Jace asked. "You didn't have to steal from me for your family's sake, I would

"I have evidence to prove I am innocent." Mr Nicholas said again.Jace only thought then that he could use that against his uncle. "Where is the evidence?" He asked.Mr Nicholas started to explain to Jace, saying, "On my phone. I kept a record of all our conversations. The way he kept threatening me and how he planned out the way i should go about getting the funds to a private account -""That is all I need. I will take your phone with me." Jace cuts him off and stands up."Wait Jace, when are you getting me out of here?-" Mr Nicholas asked after Jace, who rushed out of the room.From all indications, he did not hear what Nicholas was saying. He was already gone.***The next day, Jace's uncle, Owen, was arrested. Mr Nicholas was telling the truth. All the evidence was there and that was used against Owen.Jace was grateful to Mr Nicholas for the evidence he had. However, he also had to serve some time in Jail for cooperating with a criminal. Instead of reporting to the police."No!

"The black or red dress?" Eliana stood in front of the mirror in their bedroom. She has two dresses held in both hands. Her phone is also set in front of the mirror with her best friend Zia's face on the screen. They were on a video call.Zia on the other end moved forward and then backwards from where she sat. It looks like she also couldn't decide. "They both honestly look good on you." Zia finally said. "I still can't decide. Let me see the red on you again." Elian did as she was asked. She put the red dress over herself and looked up at her friend, waiting for her comment."Uhmm." Zia squinted her face. As she tapped her lips with a finger. "This makes you look way too sexy for a birthday party. Maybe you should go with the black dress. It makes you look just the right amount of sexy." She added with a smirk.Eliana laughed at her friend's words. "Alright then. Thanks a lot, you are a lifesaver.'' She blew a kiss to her. "How is my godson doing?" She asked while trying to put th

"coach Grayson. Happy birthday and happy retirement as well." Jace said with a smile. His hand wrapped around Eliana. He could not miss the strange look his coach was sending in the direction of Eliana. He did not acknowledge it. Instead, he went ahead to introduce her to the coach."This is Eliana Parker. The lady I told you about."Jace said. "She was my girlfriend when we spoke, but she is now my fiance." He added with excitement. A huge grin evident on his face."Eliana Parker." Grayson repeated the name. He never removed his gaze from her. He stretched out his hand to her. "Nice to see you Eliana." He added.It looked like Grayson was not blinking with the way his gaze was fixed on her.Eliana, who is starting to get worried returned the gesture by giving the man her hand and said, "Nice to meet you too Mr -." "Please, Grayson will be just fine." He said, still not averting his gaze. Neither was he letting go of her hand.The awkwardness was getting to Jace. He moved two steps for

"Wifey, Where have you been?" Jace spoke with a sleepy voice. He stared in his sleep and felt the other side of the bed empty. Almost immediately, the door opened and Eliana walked in. Jace's attention turned to her. Her phone in her hand and her face looked determined."I was making up my mind on what you asked of me last night." Eliana replied as she walked to Jace.Jace sat up on the bed. "Yes?" His face was hopeful of a positive answer from his wife.Eliana bit her lips nervously before saying, "I decided to take on the job -""Really!? That is wonderful news. I know you are going to do great." Jace said, holding her hand, excitedly.Eliana chuckled. "You didn't let me finish." She reasoned."Oh.. what else?" Jace asked."I will take the job on one condition." Eliana said, raising one finger up."Whatever you want, my love." Jace confirmed."I want Zia by my side in the kitchen." Eliana said. "She would act like the strength with authority there." She added."Done. Anything else?

Eliana walked into the bedroom and her husband was on a call. She could easily make up what he was discussing on the phone. It was about the new hotel that was about to be launched. They haven't decided the date yet but everything was ready. It took Jace and his good friend Jayden to get the hotel done. Even though it was an expansion not completely a new project."Hey, beautiful." Jace said after ending the call. Walking towards Eliana, who was also walking to her husband."Hey, Babe." Eliana replied.They hugged each other after sharing a kiss."I love you so much. Today was just amazing." Eliana said."Anything to make my wife happy. Besides, you deserve it all." Jace said. Putting his chin on her head. "I love you even more.""Even Zia and her entire family!" Eliana said. Her hands still wrapped around his torso as they swayed gently in the silence of the night. "You are just so amazing. When did you have time to pull that off?" Eliana probed, looking up at him."Quite some time a

*** A year later ***A maybach drove into Bratkowski's mansion in the evening. In the back seat of the car, Eliana and her husband sat. Eliana looked sad."Wifey, this is supposed to be a happy moment. Why the long face?" Jace asked, caressing her hand.Eliana sighed. "Hubby, I invited them all but no one showed up. They all had one excuse or the other. Not even Maya. She works for you, you should have forced her to show up at my certificate awarding of culinary school." Eliana said with a pout.Eliana got to meet Maya in one of her visits to Jace's office. She was so happy when she met her and realized she was the same lady Axel was drooling over at her wedding.eDestiny is what brought them together because they were destined to be together. As Eliana believed.Jace chuckled and kissed the back of her hand. "I can't force anyone, especially if it is not work related. You know that, right?" He tried to reason with her. "I know." Eliana said, still pouting."Good. Now let's go. The ki

A week has passed and Eliana decided to put one of Chelsea's advice into action. She had already planned everything before she left home that morning.At school, she quickly concluded her practical for that day early so that she can achieve her mission. She headed to the company afterwards.Walking to the front desk at the entrance, Eliana approached the receptionist."Hello." Eliana said at the receptionist. She was still nervous but tried to put on a smile. She was holding onto the lunch she packed for them from school and some things she bought on her way."Good day, how can I assist you -" the receptionist began before looking up. When she looked up, recognition flashed in her eyes. "Oh, Mrs Bratkowski, you are welcome." Eliana was a bit relieved. At least the receptionist recognised who she was. 'She must have attended our wedding.' Eliana thought to herself. That could only be the explanation, since she has never visited the office."I am here to see my husband, can you direct

"Want more sauce?" Eliana asked."Me. Me. Me." All the three little girls at the table cooed, raising their hands up with excitement. They were all savoring the dishes served to them. Eliana prepared the food with the assistance of her kitchen staff."Wifey, this is amazing." Jace said when he was done with his meal. "It is 100 times better than anything I have had that was not prepared by you " he added, while cleaning his mouth.That made the adults on the table laugh. Although they also find her cooking amazing."Thanks hubby." Eliana said with a smile. The children were served a little more of the soup that they wanted more of.Days and weeks later. In the Bratkowski's mansion sat Chelsea and her husband, Jayden, with their two girls, Reha and Myra. Then the Bratkowski's family too. They were having dinner all together.

"What are you guys not telling me?" Eliana asked. After following Jace into the closet. "After all, I was trying to play matchmaker for Axel." She added, putting her hands on her waist.Jace chuckled as he put on his pajamas pants. "I didn't know that. When did you decide to do that? Playing Cupid and all." He asked."Since our wedding." Eliana said. Picking up the towel Jace earlier had on him. "I noticed how he was gawking over a lady that was sitting at a different table. I wanted to introduce myself to her but then I was distracted for a moment. Before I could get to her again, she was nowhere to be found." Eliana explained.They both walked out of the closet. Jace first and Eliana tailing behind."It turns out he worked it out all by himself." Jace said before sitting on the bed. Eliana walked back into the bathroom. She hung the towel where it should be and then walked back into their bedroom."Yeah, it did. They would have been a perfect match though. She is beautiful and lo

"Wait! What!?" Eliana exclaimed. Her eyes grew wide at Axel's suggestion. She abruptly got up from her sitting position.Jace's eyes were wide as well. "You are joking, right? Don't get my hopes up and then you would say you are joking. Just tell me it's a joke." He blurted. Jace is still seated, but he was close to standing up as well because he was sitting by the edge of the chair.Axel looked between the two as they acted very surprised by his words. "No. I am not. I am sorry I caught you both off guard. After everything I have made you go through. This is the least I can do for her happiness and my way of feeling less guilty for the things that happened." Axel explained."Oh and Jace, that makes you the highest shareholder of the company." Axel announced with an assuring nod. "Because half of mine now goes to my daughter." He added.Alex was still at Eliana and Jace's home when he told them that he was waiting for his lawyer. A few moments later, two lawyers came to their house. T

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! You are here." Amelia cheered, running towards Axel. The butler that walked him into the house took a bow and walked away."Hey Princess." Axel said, opening his hands wide for the running Amelia. He picked her up and swung her around before hugging her close to his chest.Axel laughed and Amelia giggled at that. "Woah. My Princess is getting bigger by the day." He said, after putting her down."Yes. I am a big girl now and a big sister too." Amelia said, as she pulled her father's hand towards the living room. "Mummy, daddy is here." She announced, looking at the direction of the stairs.When Axel arrived, he called Eliana and let her know he was at the gate. The gate was then opened for him and he drove through the huge compound of the mansion.Eliana was changing Liam's diaper then. She told Amelia her father was downstairs. That made Amelia run down the stairs. She was screaming her father's name and could not hear her mother's calling. Telling her not to run
