KACE’S POV“ What the hell do you think you are doing Drake? “ I asked Drake as I angrily rushed to where he was.“ I'm taking Tess for us to go get our marriage certificate whether you all like it or not, “ Drake said to us.“ Well sorry to disappoint you, Drake, I'm now married to Kace, “ Tessa said for the first time I have seen her today with a broad smile on her face.“ Babe, come over here, we need to rest before dinner time, I’m tired, “ Tessa said to me to everyone's surprise.Dad, Mom, Tessa’s mom and I were all looking at her like she wasn't okay. Did she just call me babe? And did I just like the fact that she did? What's wrong with me?But then again why the sudden change in attitude towards Drake, this is someone she has always loved. This convinced me beyond doubt that something happened between them that Tess doesn't want to spill out.“ Babe? “ Tess called again bringing me back from my train of thoughts as she stretched her hands forward to me to hold.I walked to her
TESSA’S POVWhen I heard the clicking of heels, I thought maybe Mrs. Crawford invited one of her friends but when I raised my head I saw Triss walking over to our table with a long strapless dress that showed her cleavage's and had a slit at the front of the dress which exposed her thighs a lot.Looking at her walking to us at the table, I wanted to tell her to get out of our house but decided against it since it wasn't my house.The dress she wore was made her body way too exposed and then it dawned on me that the poor girl might have come to seduce Kace. Seeing her tonight made me sure of the amount of hatred I have developed for her.But the most important question is who invited her over?“ Thank you, Mrs. Crawford, for inviting me over for dinner, “ Triss said with a smile trying to look innocent and likable but that didn't work on me anymore.“ Triss my darling you are welcome to have a seat, “Kace's mom said beaming with smiles as she gestured for Triss to have a seat. That's o
TESSA’S POV“ Who's she? “ I asked him and he looked at me confused.“ Who's who? “ he asked back with creased brows.“ The lady you were talking to on the phone, “ I asked with a straight face.“ Did the deal also include us prying into each other's private life? “ He asked with one of his brows raised. I should have known, why didn't I even think about it?It's impossible for someone as handsome as Kace not to be in a relationship. I felt a tinge of jealousy at the thought.“ I'm now your wife even though we aren't in love, I still have the right to know. However, since you have a mistress outside, I hope you won't complain if I have a lover too. “ I answered trying to clarify but saw his expression darken when I mentioned having a lover outside our marriage.“ Read your books and focus on your study Tessa, “ He said and left the room. From the way he called me Tessa, I knew he was upset.I sighed and tried to get my mind away from what happened. I read for the exams I would be havi
TESSA’S POV“ Baby please take me home, I’m having a headache, “ I said to Kace. Not knowing I was going to meet another big and shocking discovery.“ Alright Love, but I need to say something to Triss “ He answered as we stood up from our wanting to leave Principal Sanders's Office.“ Next time you try this kind of thing with my wife, you'll have me to contend with. I didn't say anything today because I wanted to warn you first “ He said with a deadly look on his face that I began to think if he was acting like we agreed to or if he was being real.“ Do you understand me, Miss Lincoln? “ He asked“ Yes, Kace I do “ Triss replied not being able to look Kace in the face.“ You’ll address me as Mr. Crawford. I can't remember being on a first-name basis with you “ He answered with a straight face.Triss was speechless as she looked away totally embarrassed and Kace walked out of the Office. But before I followed behind him, I smirked at Triss before closing the door.When we entered Kace
KACE POV“ Where is Drake Crawford!!! “ Triss’s Dad thundered with a deadly look on his face. I stood watching the man wondering what they were doing here asking after Drake with such anger.This is the first time seeing them come to our home. Something must be amiss. They looked like they came here prepared for trouble.“ Where is that boy!! “ The mother angrily butted in while Triss stood with her head bowed, was it out of shame?“ I'm here Sir, hope there is no problem, “ Drake said standing behind them. Looks like he just came from the garden. Just then my parents come out of the Manor to talk to Triss’s parents. I guess they were informed about the commotion happening outside by the maids or security men.“ Good day Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln, to what do we owe this special visit? “ my mom asked, smiling so much that I thought her mouth might tear apart.“ Keep your greetings to yourself young man “ Triss’s dad retorted and turned to my parents with a deadly expression on his face.“P
TESSA POV“ Why Triss? Drake why? “ I angrily asked as I looked at both of them.When I saw Triss smirking at me I knew that there was something fishy about this pregnant lady and when I looked at her, she looked very familiar.“ What did we do? “ They asked in unison but the guilt was written all over their faces.I glared at them angrily and decided to reserve all I have to say till they get back from signing the marriage certificate.“ You all should go sign the marriage certificate first, my husband and I would sit here with this lady and wait for you guys so that we can address this issue because I won't accept this. If we don't address this issue I'll pack back to my father's house “ I threatened.“ No, my daughter, there must be a mix-up somewhere. My son Kace is a very good boy and he needs a good girl like you to support him. Wait for us, we'll be back soon “ Kaces dad pleaded. But his mom didn't look like she cared at all. She had changed so much since after Kace and I got ma
TESSA POV“ Tess, What's going on here? “ Kace asked curiously. Liana and pulled away from each other and she sat beside me not wanting to go back to her sit any longer.She hadn’t changed a bit. Always wanting to be close to me. I guess she was the nearest person Drake could use to do his dirty work and I’m sure he didn’t tell her that I was one she would do this to.I’m very sure she would have refused if she knew it was me from the onset.“ Eliana here was my classmate from high school, she was on scholarship so the rich kids loved to bully her a lot “ I began to explain.“ I used to admire Tess a lot back then because she didn’t allow her rich background to influence her character. She wasn’t as rude and pompous as the other rich kids “ Eliana said looking at her with a smile.“ One day the cheerleader Kim and her clique took me to the female toilet and began to bully me. They poured water on my clothes, and hair and began pulling my hair. They brought out a pink liquid in was tube
TESSA’S POV“ What did you just say? “ My mother-in-law asked the woman.“ All the young lady has said is true except one part, “ The feminine voice said, and when we turned to look at the person I could see that Kace, Drake, their mom, and dad looked surprised. “ Who is she? “ I was not able to hold back my curiosity any longer. It was a beautiful elderly woman who wore the same uniform as the maids who interfered. I haven't seen her since I came.“ Nanny Agatha, what do you mean? “ Kace asked her and secretly mouthed for her not to say what she was about to say.I guess she overheard us and wanted Drake to pay for his actions. She saw what Kace mouthed to her and the others didn't see because Kace had his back to them.“ Well, what I was trying to say was that she didn't say the part where I recognized her when she walked into the gate and asked her to go back home to her grandmother. Telling her I'll help her plead to your family to assist her “ The nanny ended up saying. I secret
