The meal lasted quite a while with the couple trying to act romantic. With the beauty of Jessica and the air and handsome face of Xavier anyone who saw them would believe that they were just an ordinary couple who married for love. The people who took pleasure in taking pictures and videos for their socials were convinced that this couple married for love. For all everyone knows Xavier could have been in a secret relationship all this while and then finally tied the knot. The tables began to turn and everyone came to Jessica's defense. The blogs that pioneered the first news story began to get a lot of hate comments and messages about how they tried to spoil an innocent woman's name. How fickle are people? They can switch sides like it's nothing. The side with the most evidence wins. Xavier's phone began to ring on the table. He peeps to see who it was and it was Brian his assistant. It Brian was impressed at his boss's strategy and wanted to praise him. He was surprised that it w

"Can you please put Jessica back on the line?" Burke said trying to compose himself. "Anything you have to say to my wife you can say to me too" Xavier answered. He was irritated with the back-and-forth of Jessica with him. He had a faint idea that Burke was behind the news but he only confirmed the suspicions now. "It's a private matter between us" Burke answered. He did not expect to speak with him so soon. Burke was quite aware of the power and wealth that the Delgado family carried but his anger towards Jessica who had changed her status overnight by marrying into the family made him furious and he went after the family without any reason. After all, there was no way he could single out only Jessica without affecting the family. There was no direct link between the blog owner and Burke so he was calm and there was no evidence of the information transfer too. "I will call her back then" Burke responded when it was obvious that Xavier was neither going to say anything nor pass

Xavier got home quite exhausted and late. He had meetings with foreign investors as they were all interested in the life of the owner of the company they invested in. He just took over the company in paper although he had been running it ever since Dawson got sick. "Welcome young master, should I prepare dinner for you and the lady?" one of the house staff asked. She just happened to be around when he came in and she decided to ask him if she needs to prepare anything. The house staff saw the news and they were all worried about the young lady. Ever since she got here she had been friendly and made them all feel comfortable. She has not left her room to prepare dinner for herself which was quite strange since she had done so every night. The staff knew that the young master would turn any food since it was past midnight but she was worried about the young lady not having dinner. They were all worried that she was coupled up in her room crying her eyes out about the rumor. The sta

"Put it there," Xavier said moving from the doorway and pointing to the table at the corner of the room. The girl dropped it off and glanced at the young lady she was relieved when she saw that she was doing quite well. She bowed and left in a hurry. Xavier entered the walk-in closet and changed his clothes to his pajamas before coming back out. Jessica watched him in awe as he went about his nightly routine. He had not finished consoling her yet he was comfortably doing something else. "Xavier" she called his name quite absentmindedly because she was busy watching him. He was in front of the mirror. He turned to face her and she looked him in the eye. She has always seen his beauty but this time it shone through. She gulped down the question she wanted to ask him long forgotten in her memory. Maybe it was the fact that she was heartbroken and lonely or the fact that his attempt at consoling her was the worst technique she had ever seen or the fact that he looked so hot right now

Both Xavier and Jessica enter the car and the driver goes away. Xavier had hammered that Jessica should wear something exotic but she still went with her plain tee and skinny jeans. She was a simple girl like that. Her wardrobe barely spoke classy not to talk of exotic. Xavier made a mental note to call famous stylists and designers to change her entire wardrobe after the whole mess settles down. She would have to be his date to many events from now on so she should dress the part even if she can't be the part. She was after all now the Lady of the Delgado family. Soon the high-class ladies of the city especially her age range would want to start interacting with her. Xavier had all these in mind but he did not know how he would be able to convince Jessica to change her entire wardrobe, style and even join the club of high-class ladies. Xavier knew that even the older generation would such up to her because of the family she married into. He wondered if she would be able to handle
