"Mr. Delgado, I don't think the terms you listed would be in your favor," Mr. Marcus said. He had been the family lawyer. He was the son of the owner of Gates and Sons law firm at the moment and was in charge of the Delgado legal business. Anyone could say that the Gates and Sons law firm is what it is today because of the Delgado family and other influential wealthy people of Chiachester City. "Just put it that way" Xavier responded. He saw right through Jessica that she was neither interested nor moved by his money. He had tried to flaunt it all over her face since day one. He gave her an unlimited card to use for shopping but she only used barely two hundred bucks and she started paying back by trying to send the money to his phone. He had rejected each attempt. He clearly thought that since they were going to be divorced in a year's time she would ask for compensation she did not instead she asked for investment which she would pay back. He guessed all young women of the pre

Roselle felt a little closer to Jessica. She promised herself that if Jessica could show care for the men of the Delgado family then she would support her wholeheartedly. Jessica was fast and efficient in the kitchen and for the first time since Roselle's eyes were not covered by prejudice, she could see what a darling of a person she was. Soon Jessica was done cooking the breakfast, she made extra for Roselle to have to thank her for the help. Roselle had a little of the meal left for her and she was content with the outcome. Roselle never tasted what the young master's mother's pancakes tasted like but she could say that Jessica made a good feast. Jessica glanced at the walk clock on her way out of the kitchen and noticed it was almost eight am. She was going to have her birth and then come back down to wait for Xavier so they could have breakfast before the signing of their contract. Jessica pushed the door knob and entered the room. She noticed an empty bed and heard the showe

Angel helped Jessica to set the table. Jessica entered the living room where she had fallen asleep the other day to meet Xavier a man who looked around the same age as him. "Hello, Mrs. Delgado, I am Marcus Gates and the family lawyer," the strange man said as his gaze landed on the woman. "Hello Mr. Marcus," Jessica said taking the hand of the man. Marcus scanned Jessica. She was in casual wear and had no makeup on. She was different from all the young ladies of the city. Most young ladies who married into big families were almost extravagant and dressed too exquisitely even when they had to stay at home all day. Despite the simplicity of Jessica's dress and makeup, she surpassed most of the Chiachester City ladies in beauty. The best part about Marcus was that she wore a smile since she got there. Marcus was enchanted immediately. He knew that his parents would fight tooth and nail if he ever decided to marry someone like Jessica but he wished that he found her before Xavier di

"Good morning chairman," Roselle said pushing the door of the hospital room. The day before Dawson had called her to tell her to be there before Jessica came in. Dawson's plan was simply to get Roselle to play a matchmaker. He was very worried about what would become of Xavier once he left Earth. The doctor's job every day was a simple reminder about how he was going to die soon and should probably live every day to the fullest. Dawson was sure that if he went today to be at peace with his ancestors Xavier might easily divorce Jessica and live alone for the rest of his life. Dawson knew that it was only over his dead body that the Delgado line would end would Xavier. Hence he had to call someone he knew would do a good job. Unknown to Dawson his grandson and granddaughter-in-law just signed a contract binding them for a year before the amicable divorce. "I never thought I would get to see your face before I die," Dawson said in a tone that denoted a bit of dark humor. "Why are yo

Roselle stayed for a few minutes and chatted with Dawson before she decided to leave. She left for the market and a few minutes later Jessica came in with all smiles. Dawson was not going to be bored today at least. As they got talking Jessica suddenly asked a question. "Do you want to come home for a while?" She asked him. He was confused. Ever since he was diagnosed he had been living on this hospital bed. Jessica on the other hand was worried he might be bored from not seeing others. She believes if he was home he would feel better seeing others around. "Come home?" he asked. He liked that she called it home but he did not know if it was the right choice to go home. If he was going to die soon why did he have to be a nuisance before his death? "I think I'll very much like waking up to see you every morning and bidding you good night every day," Jessica said. She was being honest with him. To she grew up in an orphanage. A full house is the best kind. "You don't think I'll b
