Dinner was a light spread but was filling as much as Xavier would not admit out loud with his own mouth, Jessica was actually a very good cook. The meals blended with one another and the taste was exquisite that he almost complimented her but be it far from his nature. The silence at the table was deafening. Jessica tried to start a conversation about two times but he killed it off with his one worded answers that she just had to give up. "Thank you for the meal," Jessica said wiping her mouth with the napkin. She was not a heavy eater but she are when necessary. Having this meal as the first with him will forever remain with her because she was a sentimental person. "Thank you too," he said. Jessica had thanked him not because he was responsible for preparing the good but because she was eating from his sweat and she ought to thank him. The orphanage at least taught her that much manners. She stood up to clear the table but he stopped her and called on Roselle to either clean i

Xavier moved to the bedroom and saw Jessica sleeping soundly. If only she knew what the entire city was saying about her now. She turned in her sleep and rubbed her most lightly while muttering incoherent words. Xavier freshened up and then put up the pillow wall before sliding into bed. The headlines and comments played in his mind over and over again. This was the first time his family was caught in the entertainment news. Who knew that the marriage hr dreaded so much would be what would put the family up in the spotlight the wrong way? The Delgado family were business tycoons and appearing in the business news was no big deal at all. That was his specialty. He lived a quiet life and that made the blogs and tabloids avoid him as he was the boring young handsome rich boy. His looks were good enough but the story around his life was just not interesting enough. Somewhere between two to three am Xavier finally drifted into a light slumber. As Xavier was just getting to go to slee

Brian sighed in annoyance. He had been on the phone all morning with the lawyers. After Xavier had given him a call at an ungodly hour that had pissed off his sleepy wife, he still had to leave home early to ensure he cleared off the horrible news of his boss and wife off the internet. "What is the first traceable source of this information?" Brian says throwing the question to the group of lawyers and advertising agents. The group was created for damage control but Xavier being the dream entrepreneur and creating no drama the team had been practically useless. Give it up to the mystery wife to use the group for what it was meant for. "It is traced to one mini blog owner who goes by the name Max," one of the advertisers said. "What can we do to those who carried on the news without verification," Brian asked. His boss would soon be coming in and he knew him well, all he would be interested in would be the solution. No briefing, no stammering, no long processes. Just the solution s

Jessica didn't understand why Xavier would want to go out in this situation. The only logical thing she would do would be to hide out from the news and press till all is settled and they are talking about something new. "Go put on something nice," Xavier said again. "I don't feel like going anywhere," Jessica said folding her arms. "Yes, you are. You would stand up now and go put on something nice that would make every girl in the city jealous and you would meet me here and we would go out together" Xavier said. His voice sounded very commanding. He was staring at her daring her to challenge him and not obey him. "I will do no such thing," Jessica said standing up and putting her foot down. Who did he think he was? Who did he think he was to command her like that? Did he think she would just give up and obey him? He must be high on something. "Oh yes you would," Xavier said pulling her hands and making his way towards the staircase. "What are you trying to pull?" Jessica asked

The car came to a complete stop in front of Hyshoo restaurant where they would be dining. "Arguing won't help us get the impression that we are going for," Xavier said taking a deep breath. Jessica's phone had gone off the hoot ringing nonstop and she had refused to get it even with Xavier urging her to get it to prove her innocence. He just wanted to know if she truly was not cheating on him. Jessica on the other hand was greatly uninterested in speaking to her aunt even as Xavier was hounding in on her like a wild dog. "I never wanted to argue. You started it" Jessica replied taking off her seat belts. The valets watch the car not sure if they should go up to it. The tinted window glass makes it difficult for them to know who is in it as this gives the couple the liberty to argue about it as much as they want. "Let's not argue. Let us have a fun late lunch and have something everyone can see a call as a date. Okay?" Xavier said. To him, it felt like going in circles. He was ex
