"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

Axel arrived at coach Grayson's house when the party was already halfway through. He came bearing an expensive looking wine, Which he handed to the coach and said a happy birthday to him."Thank you Taylor. I wasn't expecting you to show up. You hardly show up at such events." Grayson said, after accepting the wine bottle.Axel scratched the back of his head nervously before saying, "I am sorry coach. I am trying to change my ways now." "You did nothing wrong boy. Do what you feel more comfortable doing." Grayson said, his hand on Axel's shoulder. "Have fun. I have to go check on someone." He added, already looking around trying to find whoever it was he wanted to see. "I hope she has not left yet." He said more to himself, while walking away."I have to talk to your coach before we leave." Eliana voiced out to Jace. He asked her if they should leave already because he noticed she was down. He felt she was getting bored of the party. He didn't know she just had a lot to ask Coach Gra

"She was a good person, soft hearted and kind." Grayson continued. "She was a highschool sweetheart. We had plans of attending college together and later on getting married and starting a family," He said with a smile. 'Why does that sound familiar?' Eliana asked herself. 'Oh, of course it will, it is the same kind of plan she had with Axel.' Grayson's voice cut Eliana's thoughts. "It turns out nature had other plans for us both. Her family decided to move to a different town, while we were still in highschool. We never gave up then. We continued writing to each other. Until I left for college too. That was when I realized it would be very hard for our relationship to work that way." Grayson let out a breath. "We eventually grew apart." He added. He turned his attention to Eliana and said, "I didn't learn of your mother's passing. I am so sorry for your loss." He put a hand on her shoulder. That resulted in Jace faking a cough."Thank you Sir." Eliana said. They shunned Jace's p

"Your face really looks familiar, I just can't recall where I have seen you before." Clara tried getting her brain to work, to see if she could figure where she knew her before but nothing was coming."Honey, doesn't she look familiar?" Carla asked her husband. Her eyes still glued on Eliana.Grayson gave a nervous chuckle, walking closer to his wife. "Sweetheart, you are scaring the poor girl. I doubt that. She is new in the city. Isn't that right, Jace?" Grayson added, he turned his attention to Jace. Jace nodded in response. Holding back the laugh that was threatening to escape. "Um Hmm." Was all he said and nodded his head.Clara had her mouth in "O" she thought maybe Eliana just looks like someone she knew in the city.***Two weeks later."The Boss is on his way. I hope you are ready to meet him?" Luke said to the new employee he finally found. He had to look over the affairs of that branch for a week, before he finally found a suitable replacement, last week. What surprised hi

"Hey babe. How did it go with the doctor? What did they say?" Eliana's voice came through Jace's phone. He is sitting in a strange office that looks like a hospital, because of the nature of frames hanging on the wall. From the look of things, the owner of the office is not around because his seat is empty."I don't know, love. The doctor is not back yet. Still waiting." Jace said. "How is the practical going?" Jace asked, relaxing on the chair he is sitting on."Great. I just finished. I think the chef loves what I did there. He has been giving examples to others with mine." Eliana replied with excitement. I will be going home soon."I hope everything turns out ok." She added."I hope so too." Jace replied. The door to the office opened again and a man dressed in a doctor's White outfit walked in with some papers in his hand. "I have to go now, love. I will see you in a few hours. I Love you." Jace said. "Ok. I love you too. See you soon."Eliana replied before hanging up."Mr Bratko

"Where are you, love?" Jace asked on the phone, while driving at full speed."I am about to leave for home now. Why?" Eliana said, while walking out of the culinary building."Is everything alright, babe?" She asked because she could hear worry in his voice."I just really need to talk to you. Wait there. I am almost there." Jace said and hung up.When he called Maya and asked after her uncle, Grayson, she told him he went on a cruise with his wife. They have been away for a week now. It made sense now because he said something about spending more time with his wife.Coach Grayson was the one that would understand his situation. His absence means Jace has to fall back to his other option, his fiance. She is the person who understands him the most. Jace was utterly confused and couldn't get himself to think.Heartbeats later, Jace arrived at Eliana school. She was already waiting for him outside the building. Immediately she saw and recognised his car parked in front of the building, s

After her minor prepping of herself, she then walked into the hospital room. She was immediately met with four pairs of eyes glued on her. Axel smiled her way, while his mother's face remained sad. Alice tried getting up from her laying position but her son stopped her."No, mother. You don't have to do that. You don't have that energy." Axel explained. "I will help raise the bed for you instead.""Hello, Alice." Eliana said, after she walked close to the bed and stopped in her tracks.Alice never broke their eye contact. Axel did as he suggested and raised the bed for his mother. After that, he excused himself to give them some privacy and went to where his daughter was. Alice stretched her hand to Eliana. In a shaky voice, she said, "Eliana. Oh my God. You have grown into a very beautiful woman." Eliana walked to her and took the old lady's shaky hand."After so many years, it's nice to see you again." Alice added."How are you feeling?" Eliana asked."I am holding up quite well.

"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

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.

"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
