"I would leave you now," Ross said.

He knew it was his cue to leave hearing the anger in Xavier's voice. Everyone knew that he had quite a temper and no one was interested in cutting limes with him. Ross silently leaves the room.

"What did I do so wrong this time?" Jessica asked resting her back to the bed frame and rolling her eyes.

She was only looking out for Dawson she wondered why Xavier would be angry to come home and meet an empty house while his grandfather stays in boredom at the hospital.

If he was at home she would keep him company before she starts her business and take him on nice dates, cook for him, and keep him company throughout the day.

"He is my grandfather and I would be the one to make decisions concerning him," Xavier said his teeth gritted.

He already felt abandoned by his grandfather preferring Jessica over him. Now Jessica wants to keep her nose in their business.

"I thought I was a part of the Delgado family?" Jessica asked throwing back to what he had

    Xavier left in a hurry because he could not stand the judging eyes of his grandfather. He told the driver to be the one to bring Jessica back home as he went back to work. Jessica had made it clear she did not want to be called a part of the family if they were going to go through with the divorce and there was no turning back for him as he had his mind set on the divorce. Dawson who was uninterested before going home decided to go home after seeing the way Xavier reacted to Jessica today. Maybe if he were home he could monitor more things than putting Roselle in charge. She has promised she would get them together on a honeymoon but had failed the whole first month of their wedding. "I am glad you decided to come home with me," Jessica said. If Dawson had insisted that he was not going to go back home with her she would have looked like a fool in the eyes of Xavier and she would have felt terrible. If she had somewhere else to go she would have gone to hide there. Since Xavier kn

    Dawson had no special request so Jessica made a pan pizza and they both had it over light conversation. Dawson was exhausted from the move and change of environment so he went to bed early. Jessica waited up for Xavier because she had a lot to discuss with him. She was going to iron out all the details of her remaining time in the house. Her business, sleeping arrangement, and his meals. She had been glad to share her cooking with him but he had been too rigid to accept her. He had proven that he was just as closed off as chose to be and she was not putting herself up for heartbreak. If she continued to see him in good light she might end up falling for him and she would be hurting once again by the time she had to leave the Delgado house. She was only Delgado by paper and name. She has no relationship with them. Xavier came in as Jessica was cleaning up the table. He had been coming in early these days to eat dinner with Jessica. Seeing her clean the table sent a shock down his s

    When Xavier heard that she wanted to talk about the business he felt relieved. Although the was calm, she might have been still very pissed at him. "Yes about that, I had been waiting for a new month. I would ask the realtor to come over this week and show you some properties. Choose a high-end one in a good neighborhood" Xavier said. The sigh of relief could be heard from afar. He had been vindicated. He was not in trouble at all. "Okay, I think that is fine. I would handle the interior decoration and staff hiring myself then" Jessica responded. "Let me know if you need any money or help. You can use the card I gave you for purchases" Xavier said. "I will" Jessica responded. Since she was seeing it as an investment that she would pay back she did not find it difficult to collect his money she would give the business her all and pay him back within the year. "Another thing I want to discuss is our sleeping arrangement," Jessica said. She was going to settle them all that night

    Xavier had never known what it meant to be played before but he felt like he was experiencing it right hand. It felt like a betrayal. He could not believe that the first meal he seemed to enjoy she was going to take away from her. "If this concerns me shouting at you at the hospital. I already said I'm sorry" Xavier said sulking. It was the first time that Jessica saw Xavier display another emotion apart from aloofness and natural anger. "When?" she asked confused. From all she could remember she couldn't remember Xavier saying as much as a simple sorry. "You never said you were sorry" she defended. "I did not?" Xavier asked his face flushed. "Yes, you did not" Jessica responded. Maybe if she was not as angry as she was she would have not suggested having different rooms or even to scrap her making dinner for him. She loved with all her might cooking for others. "I barely apologize," Xavier said murmuring. "Very obvious," Jessica said. "You heard me?" Xavier asked shocked.

    Since it has to be the next day before the decorator could come to decorate one of the rooms Jessica still had to sleep in the same room as Xavier. Xavier felt the temptation to ask her to reconsider changing her room. After all, they had settled their differences now. Xavier lay down waiting for Jessica to join him as she was freshening up. Jessica came out holding a towel to dry out her hair. "Ms. Gates is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony and we have both been invited," Xavier said as soon as he got a sight of her. "Ms Gates?" Jessica asked confused. "The CEO of Couture Corner," Xavier said like it was common knowledge. She was a girl after all and it was the dream of every young girl of Chiachester City to own one of the pieces from the Couture Corner. Jessica has no idea who she was and tried to hide her embarrassment. "Anyways so Ms. Gates is doing a groundbreaking ceremony the day after tomorrow for one of their new stores and she has asked that you come along," Xavier sai

    "What is she doing here?" Xavier asked voting out his thoughts. "She did not say but she specifically asked for you," Roselle said. When Jessica heard the name she was curious but she did not want to be seen as a gossip so she laid back down on the bed. "Couldn't she sleep the night and wait till the morning?" Xavier asked grumbling as he went down the stairs. "Nephew" Genevieve said as her eyes fell on Xavier coming down the stairs. Genevieve Sullivan was his mother's sister and she was the definition of the worst. When his mother was still alive she often showed up out of the blue to extort his mom and get money out of it. One of the things that Xavier vowed not to forget as regards his mother and father's death was how his aunt stormed in to get a share of the insurance claiming to be the only family of his mother. Genevieve and his mother had shared the same womb for nine months yet they were nothing alike. Their parents had shared the family wealth between both girls. While

    Jessica had slept soundly afterward forgetting that there was just a huge commotion outside. By six am her body clock woke her up to get ready to get breakfast. She felt more exhausted than usual and did not want to go out of bed. The only fact that made her stand up was that Xavier only begged her for forgiveness when he realized that she was going to cut his meal plan off and also Dawson had complimented her so very well. 'Get up Jessica Penelope......' her thoughts trailed off when she was going to call her name. Was she still to address herself with her maiden name or her husband's name? 'Get a grip now' She screamed internally at herself. Her eyes fell on the peaceful sleeping boy beside her. It was one of two things, either he did not care at all about his surrounding because how can he sleep after the distressing calls last night, or he was faking to be strong enough to sleep through the storm. 'Only Jesus did that' Jessica thought again as she entered her closet to change

    Jessica blinked multiple times at the woman in her front claiming to be somehow related to the family. Was she the cause of the commotion last night? "You don't know how to talk? I clearly heard you speak just now" Genevieve said going to the kitchen island to take a banana which she peeled to eat. Jessica was unsure of the protocol. She has been scolded for suggesting that Dawson came home. Was she supposed to treat this woman with joy or disdain? She did not know what to do. She searched Roselle's face for answers but they were blank as usual. "Hello, good morning. I was not aware that someone joined us last night which was what made me startled" Jessica said immediately covering up her lapses. "It's okay. I had to make an impromptu trip down here from Las Vegas the most beautiful city in the world" Genevieve said giggling a little. "Would you like to join us for breakfast?" Jessica asked. Since she was unsure of the protocol. She might as well do what she wanted to do because

"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
