Jessica sat up straight and felt her head pounding. How did she get there? Last she remembered she was downing a cup of a very expensive red wine that she did not bother to learn the name.She looked around the room and realized that she was back in the same room that she swore never to come back to. She looked down and saw that she was alone.As she tried to stand up she felt a sharp pain course through her whole head. Why did she drink so much when she was unsure if she could handle it? She had always been a conservative girl so she did not know what her tolerance level was like. She hated the pain she felt in her head and body. "Oh shit" she murmured as her hand went to her head. Her eyes darted to the clock on the wall and it read past 10. How long did she sleep for her to be waking up way past the time for breakfast? If she would be making anything she would only be able to meet up for lunch. Although she woke up very late she still wanted to lay back down and have a bit more
Dawson was on the phone with Ethan. He knew that shipping them both there would not do the trick of bringing them together. His grandson was stubborn and closed off. His granddaughter-in-law would not make a move because of the distance that Xavier had put between them. They needed a push and Ethan was the perfect man for the job. "You only call me when it is time for investments. I thought we were friends Dawson?" Ethan says with a teasing voice. "And you answer every time" Dawson continued. Silence ensued on the phone before both men burst out laughing. They were the ones who took the small companies or their grandparents to greater heights. They were buddies and confidants. "Do you feel better? Are you coming to Aurora Haven? I hated that I had to interact with your secretary the last time" Ethan expresses with a gruff in his voice. "I am afraid I can't make it this time also. It is a bit difficult for me to travel such a distance in this state" Dawson explained. "So you are
"Ahhhh" Burke heard a scream from the kitchen. He hurried out of the room to the kitchen where Emma was seated on the small dining table in the kitchen. Her phone was on the table and her hair was all over the place with tears in her eyes. "What is it?" Burke asked worried as he walked in haste to her. "What is it?" he asked again which led to began a full-on sobbing. She did not respond but cried as if her life depended on it. "Why are you crying?" he asked again holding her close to him. His eyes shifted to the phone on the table and saw a picture of Jessica and her husband smiling for the camera. "How is it that I settled for you?" she asked in between sobs. "How is it that I lost Jessica?" he asked in a murmur. "What?" Emma asked when she caught a whiff of what she said. "How is it that I lost Jessica to a jerk like him?" he repeated. She was the one who assured him that Jessica would always be there for him. She assured him that she would forgive him even if he did not
"We will be going on the trip tomorrow," Xavier said as he came out of the closet to meet Jessica in the room. Jessica suddenly remembered that she had promised Dawson that she would accompany Xavier on his business trip. "Oh, how many days are we spending there?" she asked. She had to ask so she could pack accordingly she did not want to over pack or under pack. "What is the weather like too?" she asked. She did not want to be careless. She was supposed to be the wife of the richest man in the city she would at least act like one once. "In Aurora Haven, it is cool this time of the year and we should spend three days at most," he said. She nodded and moved to the closet. She could have her bags ready so she doesn't delay him. It's not like she wanted to go but she would try her best not to get on his nerves. As she passed by him she remembered her interaction with him on Friday. It was Sunday and she had not seen him since the party. She turned to face him and his eyebrows wen
"It was James," she said when she saw his judging eyes. "James the Realtor" she added when he did not move. "I know who James is. Haven't you signed the papers?" he asked. "I have," she said turning back to pick out a dress from none of the racks. "So why were you on the phone for that long then?" he asked. "Di I need to report to you who and who I am talking to?" she asked feeling a sense of annoyance. It's not like he had apologized for what he did but now he was here asking her questions to which she did not understand. "If you have nothing to hide then you would not be angry about the question," he said pressing his lips tightly together. "I have nothing to hide from you and I do not owe you an explanation," she said facing him. How dare he try to act like a person who cares when he had been doing the opposite of it all this while. "You should answer the question so I don't misunderstand," he said calmly. "You can misunderstand for all I care. There is no way I am spilli
Jessica had never had the opportunity to visit the very popular Chiachester International Airport before and she marveled in awe at what she saw. The only way she could have seen an airport before was if watched it on the television or the internet and those things were not her interest. "Mr. Delgado, I am glad to see you again. You haven't gone on any business trips in the last four months" a man with the name tag of Jack spoke to Xavier as he entered the waiting area. "Is the plane ready?" Xavier asked not returning the extensive greeting made by Jack. "Yes, Mr. Delgado we have fueled and are currently prepared for take off. Let me take you to the waiting room" Jack said leading them. He led them past the normal boarding center which was very rowdy and full of people. The announcer's voice echoed through the whole room as they passed by. Jack stopped at a door that had a tag with the letter body written, VIP BOARDING AREA. "You can go in. If you need anything do not hesitate t
The wait at the room was not all that long soon Jack was back and escorted them to a plane. As soon as Jessica entered inside she realized it was a private plane. 'You did marry a billionaire' she said to herself inwardly. She knew she married a billionaire but moments like the limo on Friday and the restaurant he bought without thinking about it and now the private plane made her realize that she was truly not on the same level as he was. If they did not meet at the court house she might have had no way to ever meet him to enter his cycle. Xavier went in and sat on one of the chairs in the plane and put on his seat belt. There was a seat opposite his and Jessica walked slowly to him. She cleared his throat to grab his attention. "Eem can I sit here?" she asked shuffling between her feet. Since she had never flown before she was nervous and since it seemed like he was the only one to be on the flight with her she had no choice but to ask for his help. "Sure," he said gesturing
"Wake up," Xavier said shaking her a little. Jessica stirred in her sleep and then suddenly her eyes shot open. "Where am I?" she asked wiping the drool that had now consumed her face. "Aurora Haven," Xavier said looking outside. The plane had come to a complete stop almost thirty minutes ago but Xavier had quietly dismissed the crew as he then proceeded to watch her sleep peacefully. "Oh we are here?" she asked with a sense of excitement. At first, she thought of leaving Chiachester City after the divorce. She knew that that might be the only way she would survive the criticism. But after she got the restaurant the thought of leaving her dream behind because of a little criticism was hard to bear. She knew that she might not be able to see any other place outside Chiachester if not for such an opportunity and hence her excitement. "You're happy?" Xavier asked like her emotions were something strange. "Although I do not want to impose on your business meeting, it still feels ni
