"So sorry for barging in here and disrupting your breakfast time" Eunice said as she stood awkwardly at the table waiting as Jessica went back and forth between the table and the kitchen.

"What do you mean barging in? We are practically becoming a family" Jessica replied with glee. "Oh please do make yourself comfortable and feel at home" Jessica said before she turned back to the kitchen door.

When Jeanne had told her that Aletta's mom and sister were coming over, she had so spontaneously changed her breakfast plan and had mandated that everyone attended including Joshua who just wanted to get to work on time.

She cooked up a storm and with her movement back and forth from the kitchen to the dining table she was yet to get out the entirety of what she had cooked.

"Are you sure you don't need help from me?" Eunice asked feeling awkward that all she was doing was standing there.

"I would be done in a few seconds," Jessica said dismissingly.

    Alethea squealed in excitement as she held her friend's hand in joy. "The good news," she said with teary eyes. "Does this mean I get to be a maid of honour twice?" she asked holding her breath before adding quickly. "Only if you want to" she added wondering if she had just pushed her luck. Jeanne would have thousands of people she might want to ask."Of course, you have to be my maid of honour, I would not have any other person do it" Jeanne responded in joy."And what about me?" Aletta asked as she walked into the dining room hand in hand with Joshua."How do you expect me to have a married woman be my maid of honour?" Jeanne asked rolling her eyes playfully."Wait you think we would get married before you?" Aletta asked tilting her head."I actually do not mind the order but I am not interested in getting married in the cold" Jeanne said. Joshua chuckled and shook his head. "Of course, I was almost deceived that you cared about your brother for a moment there" "And of course, my

    Everyone turned around to see Anette standing there, She tilted her head as she saw faces she did not recognize. "What are you doing here so early in the morning" Jeanne was trying her absolute best to not sound bitter. She had forgiven Anette but she knew that the pain she caused her could not just go away overnight. She needed a little more time to heal. "I am so sorry for showing up unannounced but I brought invitation cards" Anette said cautiously as she approached the table. She had apologized but she was sure it would not be that easy to forgive her. "I hope I am not intruding on anything?" she asked as she stopped at the table. The silence in the room was so bad that anyone could tell that there was something wrong in that place. "Of course not" Aletta finally said stretching her hand to get the invitation from her. Anette blessed Aletta in her heart for breaking the dead silence they had just experienced. "Oh yeah," Anette fidgeted with the card in her hand as she hand

    "You seem like you have a lot to say," Jessica said after they had been sitting for a while. She had waited for her to stop crying before she spoke. The full bawling had become stifled sounds and Jessica knew it was the right time to press her. "I do, I just don't know how to start" Anette let out in tears. It was as if as she opened her mouth the tears were opened once again so the bawling began and Jessica went into a full consoling mode. "I know you hate me, I would hate me too" she added in between sobs. "Hate you? Honey, why would you think that?" Jessica was now disturbed because such a lovely girl was saying such things. "Why would I hate you?" she added. Anette took a deep breath to steady herself before she continued to speak. "I only did those things because my mom told me that you promised I would be the one to get married to Joshua. I indeed developed a crush on Joshua while growing up, who won't? He had always been such a gentleman." Anette said before pausing once mor

    Anette joined them for breakfast and after that, she left to go home. Somehow everyone dispersed and left. Joshua and Thiago left for work even though Jeanne whined on reasons they should not go, both men were adamant about keeping their perfect record like they were marking attendance at work.Jessica, Xavier and Eunice took to the living room to discuss the wedding while Aletta, Alethea and Jeanne went ahead to discuss their plans. Jeanne began to show suggestions to Aletta on wedding gowns and decor."Are you going to use a planner? Want me to suggest one to you?" Jeanne asked when Aletta looked overwhelmed by the variety of options and the long list of things to do as well."Yes please" Aletta said letting out a sound of relief.Jeanne laughed as she took up her phone to tap away, finally, she stopped and then dialled a number before putting it on her ear. The first w=ring was barely done before the call was connected as if the receiver was waiting so earnestly for the call."Hell

    TIME JUMP TWO WEEKSAnette's wedding was in two days and Leslie had not found any opportunity to carry out her plan she had taken time to plan. She had diclofenac that would cause her daughter to bleed out the baby. She was going to do all within her power to ensure that the wedding did not hold, there was no way her daughter would marry that man. Leslie stood at Anette's door and stared intently at the drugs in her hand. "This is all for you my dear daughter" she murmured looking down before raising her head with a sinister smile lining her face. She knocked and pushed the door open, Anette was sitting on the bed with a happy smile across her phone as her eyes darted from one end of the phone to the other. "Anette?" Leslie said trying to catch her daughter's attention."Oh Mom, I did not hear you come in," Anette said pressing the power button of her phone to shut it off before she placed it on the bed and shifted in her seat. She rubbed her belly lightly, in a few days she would s

    Hello Everyone I am not a medical practitioner so I don't know the way these things work. I have only written from my research and experience. Thank you for reading (Inserts Heart emoji) Andrew was pacing up and down outside the emergency room, the doctors had told him to excuse them while they tried to save his sister. His mom was nowhere to be seen as she did not come with them to the hospital. His mind roamed back to what she said when he asked her to call an ambulance. She refused with a violent head shake and stood back watching her daughter groan in pain while she bled away. When the ambulance arrived she had refused to get in and he could not help but suspect that she had something to do with what was happening to Anette. He wanted to dig into it but he had to make sure his sister was okay first. It had been well over an hour and yet he had not heard anything from the doctors. He was hoping she and the baby were fine. "Where is she?" Richard asked storming in. Andrew ha

    "Why are you apologizing?" Richard asked as he approached her as she sobbed in the bed. She was shaky so uncontrollably. Richard reached out to her and wrapped his arms around her her body now lost in his. "I did this, how was I so careless?" she said in between sobs. The baby was one of the most important things to her at the moment and she could not believe she had somehow managed to allow it to slip out her hand. "You did not do anything, I am sure we will get to the bottom of this soon" he said trying to console her. He was distraught but he was sure it could be nothing compared to how she felt at that time. He turned back to see that Andrew had left the room. "Hello Dad" Andrew mumbled over the phone. After seeing his mom's reaction he knew the only thing he could do was to call his Dad. "Hey bud, what brings you to call me" "It's about Anette, she is in the hospital after she lost her baby and I think mom has something to do with it" "To do with what?" Brian asked feeli

    "Can you explain everything you witnessed?" Andrew raised his head as he dragged his hands along his trousers. He wanted to speak with his mom first but Richard was not having any excuses. The cops were going to interrogate him first before they went on to do the same for both Anette and Leslie. "Please in detail" the cop added. Andrew angled his neck back a bit to see his father standing there. He motioned to encourage him to talk. Andrew took a large gulp before nodding. "So I got back home from work and I noticed that something was being cooked but as soon as I entered the kitchen I realised that it was already done. It was strange to me because no one had cooked anything in that house in the past three weeks?" "And why is that?" the cop asked cutting him off from saying anything further. The man wanted to get a clear picture of the situation. "That's a private family matter that is irrelevant to the case" Andrew jumped to defend his family, he would not be the one to air his f

"Joshua you know I do not like being late for any of these events" Aletta screamed back at him. Altetta paced back and forth at the bottom of the stairs. "You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
