"Haven't I told you to try wearing a shirt to work ?” Silas nagged that morning, frowning at Jaxon as they went to work in Jaxon's car. They had on the same pair of suits as Jaxon except he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath and Silas wearing a shirt as he adjusted it.

"I just didn't want to wear a shirt,” Jaxon knitted his brows at Silas.

"You didn't want to wear a shirt…well, your employees want to avoid working, but there's nothing they can do about it, same goes for you, you're the CEO for God's sake,”

"Okay, okay, I'll change, just stop nagging at me already,”

Silas rolled his eyes.

“What's my schedule like today?”

He brought out the tab where he stored Jaxon's activities for the day and started listing them out, "You have a meeting with the tech department by 10, another one with the finance department by 2, and you have to review the contract between the company and Mr. Garcia's, Alva's father, he awaits your reply,” Silas informed him.

"Oh, I'll do that once I settle down,”

"Ok

    Alva, on the other hand, sat at the dining table feeling lonely and alone. She had a box of chocolate beside her which she ate one after the other, and she sighed. She wondered why Jaxon hadn't come back home yet, could he be stuck in traffic, could he be working late?Likewise, she considered calling Silas but changed her mind, why was she concerned about him, he could stay out for all she cared.Her heart said differently, but she ignored it, standing up to pack the food she had prepared for him and placing it in the fridge. She would warm it for him when he came around, and he could warm it too, whatever.She walked up to her room, picked up the box of chocolate on the table, and she entered the room which was just as white and empty as when she had first arrived. She lay on the bed. It was soft and warm, different from the cold feeling the room gave off. She picked up her phone to call Jessie, and the line rang three times before she picked up.“Hello, Jessie,”“What's up babe, wh

    Alva wondered what she was supposed to wear to her first meeting with her father-in-law. She had no idea, as she had never been in such a scenario before.She wondered if she should look casual, corporate, or normal, or… She just didn't know. Then there was the hair and the jewelry to wear and the makeup to do.She sighed in frustration and lay down on her bed.There was one person she could call though at that moment, and she hoped that person was free. She picked up her phone to call Jessie,“Hey Alva, what's up?”“I have an emergency crisis right now,”She could see her friend sitting up and getting alert at that sentence, “What is it, tell me, is that bastard treating wrong?”She sighed, “No, I just don't know what to wear…”“Uhn?”“I have a dinner meeting with Jaxon's dad and I absolutely have no idea what to wear or how to look, what should I do?”“I'm coming over right now, wait for me,”“Okay,”She cut the call and stayed on the bed, hoping Jessie would arrive there on time, a

    Jaxon looked at the woman who was beside him, her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly apart, and he smiled, “Is it that delicious?”She blinked, “U-uh?”“The food is that delicious, you have sauce all over your mouth,”“Uh huh,”She tried to wipe off her mouth again looking sideways for a minute, but he stopped her, placing his hand on her cheek and wiping the sauce off for her, “You are so cute,”She choked on her food staring wide-eyed at him while he gave her one of his charming smiles, “U-uh?”What the hell is wrong with him?“Just eat gently, okay,”He patted her hair and went back to his food.“Aww…look at you both acting all lovey-dovey, you make me miss my wife,” His father beamed at them, but all the while Alva knew that Jaxon was only putting on an act.Jaxon smirked. He knew what he was doing, and he was glad that it was working.He wanted his father to believe he was giving her a chance to enter his heart, when all he wanted was to divorce her and marry the woman after h

    A few weeks passed after that, and Alva tried not to think about what had happened in Jaxon's family house that day. She kept thinking about it though and couldn't help wondering why she had the flash.She hadn't had it since she visited her therapist last in Texas ten years ago, and then she had just been a young girl trying to figure out what had happened to her one night. Her family had been with her and each session had just produced this particular flash, making her conclude that she could never get that part of her memory again.So, why was it coming back now and in a more detailed form?Could it be that the memory was trying to come to the surface now that she was older, or could it have been triggered by the picture?She attempted to think but couldn't figure it out, she sighed.“Hey!”She was startled awake from her thoughts and looked at Jessie who was beside her decorating a cake, “What?”“Stop sighing for god's sake, I'm trying to put this particular decoration on the cake

    Alva served the food she had prepared for Jaxon that evening, a luxurious meal of rice and chicken veggie stir-fry, and she sat down opposite him nervous. She had a cup of chocolate in her hand with lots of milk inside, and she placed it on the table, strangling her fingers around it.“You have something to tell me?”She looked up startled, “Uhm?”“You've been acting all edgy and nervous around me, I think you might be hiding something and with the way, you're wrapping your fingers around that cup, I think it might break soon,”She looked down at the said hands and removed them from the cup immediately. She hadn't known she was being so obvious about how nervous she was.Furthermore, she cleared her throat, “I do have a favor to ask you,”He stopped in the food he was eating, “You have a favor to ask me?”“Yes,”“What is it?” He continued eating.“I need you to uhm… lend me some money, I want to start up a career of mine and I need cash,”He scoffed, “You need cash, why not ask your f

    She looked around the room again, surprised at how they had ended up in his house. She remembered entering the car with him but nothing else after that, “Why are we in your house?”“Because you begged me not to take you to his villa and I couldn't get her address out of her,” he pointed to Jessie.“Oh, I must have been drunk,” She grimaced.“You both should come to the kitchen, I made some hangover soup and breakfast,”“Oh my God, you're such a lifesaver!” Jessie exclaimed after him and went out the door.“Uhm…” Silas started beside her.“Uh?”“You might have to change your outfit, it reeks of vomit”,She sniffed her cloth and nearly gagged, “Oh my God, what happened?”He gave her this look that said really, and she blushed, “oh I must have done that to myself, well, is there anywhere I can take care of myself”,He pointed to the bathroom, “There, put your clothes in the laundry and take a shower, I'll give you a cloth to change into,”She nodded shyly and went into the bathroom, hitti

    Jaxon sat in his office the next day going through some documents when Silas walked in through their connected door, “Hey Silas, how was your meeting with Sandsons communications, did it go well?”“Of course, I signed the document with them already, and we are to start giving them access tomorrow. We are to create some email packages for them and manage the websites too,”“Oh okay, pass me the copy of the document when they're ready”“Sure,”“Also get me a file of the other documents we need, and I'll go through them,”“Sure,”He kept silent and expected Silas to go to his office, but he didn't, “A-aren't you going to your office?”He sat down on the edge of Jaxon's table, “I will but care to tell me why Erin was at your house yesterday morning and, if I heard right, the other night too?”He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, “You don't need to look that serious,”“Jaxon!”“Fine, fine, she just came to pay me a visit and that was all, she also stayed over for the night,”“Oh God Jaxon

    The water was cool against her body entering the pores of her skin and making her calm and she still couldn't believe that she was going out on a date with her husband. Yes, he was her husband, but she could have never expected him to ask her that considering all he had done since they were married.She was just so speechless.She turned off the water, leaning against the wall and sighing all her worries out. Likewise, she would just go to the dinner and pretend that everything was okay. Maybe it was just an act too, like the one they had put on for his family dinner, and it would all be over by the time they were back home.She picked up her towel, wrapping it around her body and stepped out into the room with a towel around her hair too. She had her hair wiped off first before moving onto her body which was just as wet and when she was done, she went to her wardrobe to find a dress to wear.She was so engrossed in looking for a dress, she d

    Alva went to Jaxon's house the next day her heart beating fast and she found them fooling around in the kitchen, "what are you guys doing?""Cooking,""Mama!" He rushed into her hands even though he was already a little past three years old and she caught him in her hands."Why are you doing that when you know you can't handle him?""Who told you that?""Look at his hands..." She pointed to his hands that were stained with sauce and he looked away guilty, "Okay, maybe I did indulge him a little,""So what are you guys cooking?" She dropped Jay on his feet and went to the counter where he was finishing up a spaghetti sauce, "spaghetti and meatballs,""Hmm, it looks so good,”"I know right,""Well, I have something to tell you when we're done eating...""Not before I show you something I've been preparing,""Oh really?""Yes, I hope you like it,""Okay, I'm curious now,"He served them the pasta and they ate before getting ready for wherever Jaxon was taking them to, "won't you tell me n

    They were back at the house two days later and Alva was taking a bath in the shower. She had had a brief period of cooking and she thought she should take a bath. She was feeling different though she couldn't explain and she had vomited, she wasn't sure if it was what she thought.Pushing the thought back from her mind, she picked up a towel and wrapped it around her before going into the room that was theirs. Jaxon wasn't there, she wondered where he was.She cleaned off her body and when she had dried off her hair, she went to the closet to decide what to wear. Jaxon's clothes were there and so also hers but something in her decision to pick up Jaxon's shirt and she put it on.She would like to see how much he could resist her or maybe she just wanted to turn him on.She flipped back her hair and went into the sitting room.****Jaxon was finishing up a call when she walked in. He stopped talking for a moment and stared at her, "Jaxon?" Silas said on the phone, "... what's wrong, is

    The next few weeks were used planning the opening of Alva's gallery and Madison was busy with the fashion week. It was hectic as usual and Madison was trying to put on her shoes as it was her turn to walk the runway.She had walked a lot of shows that night and she was tired. She had this last show to run and that was all."Okay give Madison over there a touch of her makeup," the designer they were modeling for directed a makeup artist to her and she got her look touched up."Okay then, you're ready," the man said. She stood in front of the cover to the backstage as she waited for the other model to come in and she went onstage. All eyes were on her or maybe it was the design she wore, she had the looks of everybody on her, she just wished she could smile but she couldn't.She made her turn as she got to the end of the runway and walked back."Okay finally, the group walk," the designer directed.They arranged themselves as they waited for their cue to go onstage and all the models

    The next few weeks were hectic for Alva, from going to the gallery to seeing the artist, she had a lot to do before her opening. She was eager to do it."Uhm... We should place that painting to the side..."The paintings were already in frames and they were hanging with other workers and Helen in view, "this is looking beautiful already,""I know right, the paintings are just a good backdrop for the whole setting,""Okay and that would be a wrap," she said after the last painting was hung."Let's take a seat,"They sat down after the workers had all left and it was in Alva's office. The pieces of furniture were already set and the designs were done, "this is all looking good, so the opening is next week right?""Yeah,""I've invited all the people you told me to invite and there are a lot more on my contact list,""Oh thank you, Helen, you're such a lie-saver,"'it's you I should be thanking,""And how is your mum?""She's good.

    They arrived at the Incheon international airport and it was bubbling. A lot of people were going in and out of the terminal and Jaxon grabbed his luggage with Alva's, "okay let's go,""Where are we going?""Just follow my lead okay,"She nodded and followed him going to the parking lot where cars and taxis were parked, "we are going to this place, can you take us there?" He gave a paper to the driver and he nodded."Sure,"They got in and he took them to the Incheon terminal in Korea. She was surprised when they got there, "we're going by ship?""You know I did tell you that I wanted us to go on a cruise together...""Yes you did but I didn't know you meant that,""Of course, I did let's go,"He led her through the rows of ships available and got on one that an attendant led them to, "Mr Jaxon Smith right?" He had asked."Yes,""We got your solo cruise ready, over here,"Thankfully it wasn't Korea he was saying so Alva understood what he was saying, "You got a solo cruise?""Hmm hmm.

    Anywhere Helena went to, she always captured people's attention because of her striking beauty even though she didn't dress all classy and gorgeous, but she always had admirers.Her long Raven hair fell to her back almost reaching her bum and enchanting emerald eyes that could put one under a spell.Clinging her fingers round the handle of the carriage, Helena squinted her gaze at the piece of paper in her left hand as she stared at the list of items, her mum had told her to buy in the medium shopping mall not too far from their house.Helena being the free-spirited girl and uhm! Well, always find herself in one trouble and another, she decided to go to big shopping mall located further in town.She hummed, darting her eyes quickly on the shelves in the grocery store as she pushed her carriage slowly.She was so happy today, well, always happy, she picked a can of corn from one of the shelves when she heard a loud voice.“I can't give it to you, old man,” A beautiful girl said firmly

    They held the after-party at Jaxon's family house and it was held in the form of a dinner party. They had changed into more comfortable clothes after coming back from the church and they all sat around the table smiling. Jay came to meet her from her sister's laptop where he had been."let's all make a toast to this remarried life and a happy one at that," her father said standing up and the rest of them stood up with their glasses raised."To a happy remarried life!" They all said and drank.They sat down, "let's get to the food then...""Okay,"The housekeeper came to Maria and served the food making sure everything was neat and delicious. It was a feast to say the least, ranging from chicken to fried rice, to steak, there was a whole variety of food and it was to celebrate her, and she was grateful."Thank you, Maria,""It was no big deal, have a nice night, okay?""Okay,"She went back to the kitchen with the assistants that had helped her with the food and they dug in."Wow, this

    The opening came sooner than it was expected and Alva had everything in motion. The food, the drinks, and the people coming in, there was a lot."Oh hi Margaret, how are you doing?" She greeted a painter that had brought her work to her."Good and you?""Good too, thank you for accepting my painting,""It's alright, it was worth the gallery,"She smiled and went in bringing into view another client that came in and so and so people started entering. Soon she saw the women that were her kind of companions, Helen, her mom, and the other women, "Oh hi...""Alva, I'm so happy to see this,""It's so nice,""My husband said I must buy one today...""Oh I'll be happy to sell to you and thank you" Alva replied to the ladies and Helen winked at her from the side.They were all wearing elegant clothes and it matched the atmosphere she had set the gallery to be, "we'll have your fill of the artworks, there are also finger foods and wine,""Okay, thank you,"They went to view the arts and Alva sa

    They finished picking the clothes and Jessie had picked this beauty of a dress for herself. It was purple, it had wide straps and the edge kind of fell off her shoulders. Josephine had concluded that she wouldn't be wearing any dress as she was okay with the jeans and shirt she always wore while Madison had picked out a black dress, typical of her.Alva on the other hand went with the slim but flay at the end dress and when she had told the attendant what she wanted to be adjusted, they left the shop."So let's go to the bar then, I made a reservation,""Is that alright though, I mean we're going to be drinking and we all brought our cars?""We can call a driver to come drive us,""Oh that's true," Jessie replied and Alva was surprised. She hadn't known she could be a voice of reasoning when they were going through drinking but it was alright."To the bar then,"They all got in their cars and drove to the address that Alva sent them.By the time they got there, they were already hyped
