"Oh my God!. You look... Absolutely gorgeous." Jenifer said, fanning her face. She walked into the hotel suite, where Eliana is getting ready for her big day, with the help of Clara and Chelsea.It is the new nine star hotel that belongs to Chelsea's husband. It is new, classy and that talk of the town. It is ranked to be one of the best already in the small time it has been launched."I know, right!? I did a great job." Chelsea praised her handwork.Chelsea did Eliana's makeup beautifully. While Clara, as the elderly woman among them, gave her some words of advice to a happy marriage. It was later that Clara figured who Eliana looked like and she approached her husband, Coach Grayson about it. He confessed and apologized to his wife for keeping it from her at the beginning.Janifer was the last to arrive. Both Chelsea and Janifer had the same outfit on. It is a peach colored dress that was decided for the bridesmaids. Amelia is already dressed up in her cute white gown and ready. S
The officiant began with the ceremony. "We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two souls as one. Jace Bratkowski and Eliana Parker." The officiant said. He started by advising the couple on what marriage is all about. He then gave more words of wisdom to the general guest before going into the ceremony proper.It's time for the officiant to confirm the intention of the couple. He began. "Jace Bratkowski. Do you take Eliana Parker to be your wedded wife from this day onwards and for the rest of your lives you both shall leave?""I do." Jace said with a continuous nod.The crowd chuckled at that.The officiant turned to Eliana and asked. "Eliana Parker. Do you take Jace to be your wedded husband from this day onwards and for the rest of your lives you both shall leave?""I do." Eliana said with a smile.When it reached the to exchange their individual vows, Jace is the one that went first."Eliana Parker Bratkowski, I love you. I know I am the luckiest person ali
The couple later sat down after dancing through a whole song. Although they only used the song to talk between themselves . When it was almost over, that was when Amelia joined in. She also had a change of outfit, from a white little dress, to a beige one, the same color as her mother's.Amelia joined in the dance and the three danced all together. Amelia was grinning all through, showing off her front gums that had no teeth in them.The host encouraged an applause for the three as they walked to their designated seat. Jace wrapped his hand around Eliana's small back and Amelia on his otherside, holding her hand.The host then announced the groom has a few words to say to his wife and then he will gill the opening remarks.Jace kissed his wife on the lips before walking to the middle of the floor, where he would be seen by most of the guests. Those that were far away could see him on the LED screen that was fixed in the hall.Eliana wondered if this was the surprise he was referring t
"Eliana dear. Eliana." A voice called out to her. She turned in the direction and saw the woman calling her. Eliana was on a mission, but she could spare a few minutes for the woman. With a smile she walked to the woman. "Hello, Mr Bratkowski. How are you and the kids?" Eliana said when she got to the table."Please, stop with the formalities already. Call me Clara. We are a family now." Clara said with a smile. "Charlie, Wesley, say hello to your aunt, Aunt Eliana." She spoke to her two children, who were sitting next to her and enjoying their desert."Hello, Aunt Eliana." The two said at the same time. They flashed a smile at her before they continued with their desert."Congratulations and welcome to the family." Clara said, in a way that she was not sure if she should even be in the position to say that to Eliana."Thank you, Clara. Enjoy the party."Eliana said, putting a hand on her chest and smiling, showing her appreciation. The way Eliana responded made her feel less awkward.
Axel walked out the exit of the hall. He looked left and right to locate the lady, but she was nowhere to be found. He couldn't decide which direction to go, left or right. He then decided to follow the right wing."I know a distant relationship is not easy, but if I am trying to make it work, why couldn't you do the same?" Axel heard a female voice that came out a bit harsh. He walked in the direction of the voice. It came from a corner of the hallway. Axel followed the voice.Axel kept his fingers crossed. He hoped it was the same lady he saw in the hall that is now breaking up with her cheating boyfriend. 'That will be in my favor.' he thought to himself. "You could at least find someone else to cheat on me with, not my best friend. And then you are trying to make it look like it was my fault!?" She continued.Axel walked past the corner Maya was pacing in. He looked her way. He recognised the same color of outfit the lady was wearing is the same with that of the lady he was lookin
Jace removed the blind fold from Eliana's face. She squinted her eyes because of the sharpness of the light. But gradually, her eyes adjusted to the brightness. They landed on her husband, who is grinning from ear to ear."Surprise!" Jace said, raising his hands in the air.Eliana looked around and registered her environment. That was when her eyes grew round in utter disbelief."Is - is this - are we -" Eliana could not find herself making a sentence. "Oh my God. Is - is this for real?" She finally asked.Jace, who stood there smirking at his wife's reaction. She is standing in her idol cook's kitchen, Julia_Child. The actual kitchen, where she carried out her shows on french cuisines.He knew she liked to watch Julia's cooking show. Long time ago he asked her about the cooking show, and she told him alot. Her eyes sparkled as she did. Now that she has joined culinary school, she also bought cookbooks of her idol."I never knew this kitchen still existed. This is wonderful. I neve
"seriously! Jace. You are still on with the surprises?" Eliana asked. They are back to their city. They only spent two nights in DC. Where the first day was for the newly wedded. While the second day was for the father and daughter day out. As Jace has promised Amelia.Eliana also had another special class with the Chef. Where they finally prepared the Boeuf Bourguignon. After that, she spent the rest of the day exploring the city."Yes, wifey. You deserve more. I will keep reminding you of that." Jace defended as he put the blindfold on her.Eliana sighed in defeat. At that moment, all she could think of was how her husband had been showering her with gifts. As for her, she has not given him anything as her wedding gift to him."No peeking, Mummy." Amelia warns.Eliana sighed. "I can't believe you two are in this together. How do I keep missing what is happening around me?" She complained, while both Jace and Amelia led her in a direction. She could tell they were heading to the eleva
Jace locked his lips with Eliana's when she lay on his body after he came. He could still taste the saltiness from his soldiers released in her mouth. There was also a hint of strawberry.Jace took a break from the kiss to inquire. "Wifey, is that a strawberry I tasted?" "It is. It's a strawberry flavored gel." Eliana explained. "It was a wedding gift from the girls." She explained further. She stretched her hand and picked it up from under the sheets. She handed it to Jace.There were different flavors of the gel. Jace decided to try banana flavor next. That resulted in Eliana to chuckle and she watched him. He tried the gel on her next. Mostly her breasts, after he easily gets rid of her sexy underwear. He licked them off in a gentle manner. At the same time, he gently squeezed them."Oh, Jace." Eliana exclaimed. Grabbing a first full of Jace's hair as she watched him suck on her nipples. "Ahhh.""Mmm. This tastes good on you." Jace took a second break to speak. He then went back t
**A day earlier, before the opening of the new hotel.**Maya came out of a spa, her phone on her ear with the support of her shoulder. When she exited the place, she then held the phone with her hand."I am on my way home now. I will be home in ten minutes -" Maya was speaking to Axel on the phone when she sighted Noah exiting his car. He then got into another car that was parked In Front of his car."Maya? Can you hear me?" Axel asked when Maya went silent while talking to him."Make that twenty. Twenty minutes. Something just came up." Maya quickly said and ended the call and got out of her car to hail a taxi."Go straight, " Maya ordered after getting into a taxi. They came in sight of the car in no time. She then told the taxi driver to follow the car but he should be careful not to be caught by the car In Front of them.They continued to follow the car low-key for another fifteen minutes. They arrived at a motel.maya was confused. "Stop here." She told the taxi driver before he w
"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. Both families seemed happy as they sat and ate cheerfully around the table.Liam, the little one was on his highchair as well, having his own version of dinner.
"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
