Alva met with Helen the next day and they finalized the building buying before going to the city's mall to get some painting materials. She had told Helen what she had in mind and she was helping her diligently herself, "thank you for meeting up with me today,"

"Of course, it's not like I have anything better to do, my daughter is at school, and life can get pretty boring easily,"

"Okay, I called Jessie to meet us too but she's not picking up, I wonder why..."

"Maybe she's busy with a boyfriend..."

"No...if she was she would have told me and she's not someone who can keep a secret very well, she's always obvious,"

"Okay then, maybe it's work,"

"That's the only explanation,"

They smiled.

"So you want to get a canvas right?"

"Yes, a lot of them and paint brushes, also frames if they're possible,"

We had a beneficial relationship,""A beneficial what?... Wait! you didn't do what I'm thinking right?""I don't know what you're thinking about...""Hey," her manager hit her on the arm and glared playfully, "...you know what I'm thinking, I told you not to do anything scandalous but you just went ahead to do that didn't you, you should be grateful that it didn't come out then,""Yeah... but there are some good comments...""That doesn't matter, you should be even more grateful that you're not under an agency, it would have been more complicated,""Yeah right,""But your girlfriend is pretty and that's okay, people are loving her, I'm sure she'll be having a hard time now,""That's right, her picture is out in the open and she'll be getting a lot of attention...

I didn't know which one you'll like so bought everything ...""That's fair,"They kept on playing the game trying to outdo one another and Jessie won, "so you're better than me at this,""Yeah... that's because I spent a lot of time playing this level,""So what do you want to do next, play another game, drink another bottle of wine?""I want to talk...

    The meeting came quicker than Jaxon expected making him feel prepared and he sat among the other shareholders that morning, "welcome to the annual shareholder's meeting of JS communications", the chairperson announced and everyone adjusted in their seats."We have quite a lot to discuss today and a lot of decisions to make so we better get started, for those who are not around... Their votes would be cast by proxy and that's that, let's start..."The only person who was not around was his uncle and he didn't care if he came, he had been the one to jeopardize the company and even if he hadn't had any evidence, he still knew it.He turned into what the man was saying, "The first topic on the agenda is discussing the merger of the subsidiary to our target company. As it is, we have two subsidiary companies and need one to acquire the company, what do you think?""I say we use the KS wiring...", A shareholder spoke up."Why?""Because it is much related to the target company we want to bu

    Alva stood in front of the fridge later that evening and took a pack of beer. She had read through the note that Jackson left for Jaxon and knew that he was remorseful but why had he acted like a jerk that night? He had just been smug acting like he didn't care but she knew it was the alcohol.He hadn't sounded like that when he told her that he wanted to apologize.She took the pack of beer and went upstairs entering Jaxon's room. She had followed him back home hoping that she couldn't help him with the trauma but she didn't know if he would let her.He hadn't said a word since she dragged him out of there and she wondered if he would say anything.She passed him a beer and sat beside him drinking a beer herself, "You know you can let it outright, you don't need to bottle your feelings up..."He sniffed and she noticed he was melancholic, "Jaxon?""He had killed my parents... I spent the past years trying to get past the fact that someone had tried to kill us, actually succeeded in k

    "What!... Jackson was the villain?""Yes,""And he's just coming out about it... Why?""I don't know too but probably because he feels remorse,""He feels remorse... That's debatable,"The three of them mostly Silas, Jessie, and Jordan sat in Alva's kitchen as she told them what had been happening for the past couple of days and looked at her.She had called them after she had managed to convince Jaxon to let her go from the house and she sat by the kitchen island sipping her drink."Are you okay though... You look calm?" Jessie asked Alva and she nodded."I knew before he told Jaxon that he was the person, I had hypnosis with my therapist and I remembered that night but I didn't confirm it until he told me in Germany,""He met with you?""Yes... To apologize...""And did you forgive him?""Kind of... I mean I already kind of forgave the person since it won't do me any good to keep grudges but Jaxon isn't taking it so lightly... He's having nightmares and the alcohol in the house is 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 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.

    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 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.

    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!"

    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.

    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
