Chapter 101

The dolphin scare from a while back had seemed like the perfect escape sent from above to run away from the anxiety that was quickly crawling up my skin. I knew deep down from the first moment I had laid my eyes on Charlotte that I wanted her to be with me until we were old and ugly, but the thought of saying the right words in the right way at the right time seemed to be choking me. Unlike the wish I had to get swallowed by a Caribbean reef shark before I messed things up, all we got is an adorable dolphin to welcome us to the island.I had planned what seemed like the perfect engagement ceremony for Charlotte, something I hoped she would appreciate. I had received help from our families and friends, and out of all of us, Jacque had done the most in ensuring all the people were in the right places at the right time.Jacque had contacted the best chef in George Town who happened to be his friend from culinary school in France and had him prepare exotic dishes for us to use while at th

Chapter 102

“Bitch!” I shouted at Rita when I entered the room she had chosen for the staycation at George Town. “You couldn’t give me a heads up that you were coming to the States?” I asked, my surprised voice laced with immense enthusiasm and a bunch of indescribable emotions.“Okay, first of all, honey, surprises don’t work that way. If I had told you about me coming back, I am pretty sure you would have connected the dots pretty fast, you and your incredibly smart brain cells,” she said as she hooked her swimwear on the cloth hangers.“And secondly, Lucas bribed us all with first-class seats and the joy of zucchini tart and fine whiskey made me forget to contact you. I am sorry boo, but have you slept in the Emirates’ silk pajamas? You will never dream of reaching home,” Rita said, her eyes lighting up as though she was reliving the moment once again.“So much for nothing will ever keep us apart,” I said sarcastically as I helped her arrange her skin care products in the bathroom.“Babe! Don’

Chapter 103

“How do you feel now, soon-to-be Mrs. Benjamin?” Lucas asked Charlotte as they walked down the coastline towards the other end of the island. Their hands remained interlocked throughout the entire walk, and they barely stayed two feet away from each other.“Well, Mr. Benjamin, I already love it here,” Charlotte responded with an enthusiastic tone. “This must be the first surprise I am actually in love with.”“Yeah, Jenny warned me severally,” Lucas said with a chuckle. “Well, you have always been the woman my heart is in love with, so I had to make everything perfect for you. I will always try to make everything perfect for you,” he added.Lucas pulled Charlotte closer so that his arm was on her shoulders. Charlotte snaked her arm around Lucas’s waist and they walked that way until the ocean calmed. Then they turned to go back home.“Where would you like to have our wedding?” Charlotte asked. She felt Lucas’s body stiffen in her touch as a light gasp escaped his lips.“Oh, wow! Well,

Chapter 104

“Take a picture!” Rita pleaded with me. I gave her a stern look through my Bvlgari sunglasses, clearly not willing to update a world of strangers on my newly unlocked level of love and ecstasy.“No!”“Why not? Don’t you want to preserve the memories?” she asked. My face had a quizzical look on as I listened to her. To me, Rita was not making any sense. I looked over at Jenny and Abby, seeking backup, but it was no use as the two were busy online watching different birth procedures. Abby had disclosed her wish for a homebirth which Jenny was skeptical about.“I don’t need the whole world to know that I am engaged. It will be of no benefit to either party,” I insisted as I returned my gaze to the fashion magazine in my hands.“Not true! Think about all the ladies that would kill themselves to become you,” Rita added. I shot her another sharp look, surprised at the words she was trying to frame positively only to fall headfirst.“I don’t want to motivate anyone to be suicidal, Rita. I ha

Cahpter 105

Spending time with Mark and Anthony was all I needed to exhale all the stress I had been feeling lately. We had created a brotherly bond over the past few days that we spent playing on the beach and scuba diving early in the morning, and I could not wait to see how the next two days would unfold for us.I watched as Charlotte ran back to join the rest of us in the ocean. She swam all the way to where I was and devoured my lips hungrily. I could sense something was wrong, and as we kissed; I swam back, farther from the rest of the group.“Are you okay?” I asked her, concerned. She opened her mouth but no words left her lips, leaving her to only nod in response.“Baby? I need to hear you say it. I need to know you mean it.” I told her. Charlotte had often before suppressed her emotions, preferring rather fight her demons all alone. Now that we were together, for an indefinitely long time, I needed her to let me in, fully. I wanted to be there for her more than anything else. I watched a

Chapter 106

“Hey lovely Kent family, welcome once again to my I*******m live. I am excited to host you here once again with the newest and juiciest news in my life. Aww, thank you @mrharry for your sweet comment, sending love and light back to your darling,” Vivian Kent bubbled in her I*******m live. “@vivreignsforever, I see you! To answer your question, yes, my fashion company is doing great! Couldn’t be any better honestly. We are thriving until the end because that’s the only way Kents do their work. I shall send you a free package from Red Kent just because you sound like a sweetheart. Mwah! “So, I came on here to inform y’all that I have moved on from my last breakup. It was quite embarrassing for me, to be honest. I had dumped Lucas a while back but I could not understand why he would go for someone lower than me. I mean,” Vivian laughs, “everyone knows that when you break up, you are meant to do better. That’s the only way to hurt your ex. But it seems your favorite billionaire did the o

Chapter 107

The rest of the time on the island went by smoothly, and before we could create enough memories to last us a lifetime, it was time for each one of us to go back to the real world. “Did you have a great time?” I asked Charlotte while we were still in bed. It was half past eight in the morning, and the ship captain was scheduled to come to pick us all up at noon. “I had the best time of my life, Lucas. Thank you for everything,” she responded. “You don’t need to keep thanking me for doing the minimal things for you. you deserve so much more,” I told her. I kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly under the sheets, not willing to let go of her anytime soon. She smiled warmly. “We did not discuss how this works from now on. Kerrington Publishers had just launched earlier this year, and hence we don’t have any branches in New York, or anywhere else for that matter. And it would be selfish of me to ask you to live with me in Atlanta since you are mostly based in New York. I don’t want

Chapter 108

One week laterJenny, Rita, and I were all together in my apartment, surfing through the internet to find the best event planners for her upcoming wedding. Jenny seemed calmer than I imagined she would be. However, as her support system, we still insisted on being by her side just in case that changed abruptly. The anxiety of being both married and a mother was bound to spill out from her soon, and we did not want her to go through it all alone.“Do you think I should invite Terrence?” Jenny asked. I looked up stunned, noticing how all the eyes were fixated on me in wait for my response.“I don’t know, do you want to invite him?” I turned the focus around.“I don’t know. He was once a part of this family at some point, so I just thought it might be cordial to have him around,” Jenny said.“Mh,” I sighed and immediately returned my attention to the tablet screen in front of me. I did not want to dictate her audience, but I knew agreeing to her question meant that I was the one inviting

Chaprer 109

But I just need to make sure that as we move forward, we won’t end up regretting anything from the past…Charlotte’s words kept ringing in my ears as I sat through a meeting with Korean investors in the afternoon. The three men all dressed in matte black suits were interested in investing in the petroleum company that Mark and I ran. As they discussed business and partnership matters, my mind revolved around my past which seemed to follow me everywhere I went.I knew Charlotte did not mean to force me to meet Noah, but deep down, I knew I needed to shed off the skin, and that meant meeting him even if it was for the last time.“Thank you, Mr. Benjamin. We look forward to our next meeting,” one of the investors said as he stretched out his hand to shake mine. They were all standing up, which stopped my train of thought and brought me back to the four-cornered office.“Yes, thank you all too. Let me show you out,” I said to them as I walked around my table and opened the door for them.

Chapter 110

The dress that Rita had designed for Jenny fit her like a glove. Clearly, it had been tailored just for her. She stood in front of the mirror for a while, her eyes filling up with tears as she stared at her reflection in utter disbelief. It was still taking a while for her to come to terms with the fact that she was about to become Anthony’s wife.“You… you are so beautiful, my baby,” her mother cried out from her bed. Jenny watched her reflection in the mirror, forcing a smile on her face as she nodded. The beauty before her had left her dumbfounded. Jenny had never fancied a big white wedding like her sister Charlotte did when they were young, but she always hoped to find a good man to settle down for as long as life allowed. And here she was, getting what she prayed for and more.Charlotte stood up from the seat in the corner and walked over to her sister, standing bedazzled by her side. She put her arms on her shoulder and looked into the mirror. Her face was wet with tears of joy
