The Mayor's Second Wife A New Secretary
Elijah watched with a fascinated expression as Jennifer scurried around the house, getting ready to accompany him to the site.For him, work has always been more of a distraction, and an obligation. He immersed himself so deeply in it, and put in everything he had, to the extent that he didn't even know if he liked it anymore.He never felt particularly nice and giddy about going to work. Or had any thing special to look forward to.Today however, he felt different. Her excitement was contagious and he felt good about going to the office."I am ready." She said to him. Her hair was falling on both sides of her shoulders and it made him smile."Give me a minute." He told her, then searched for a hair band. "Stay still."He slowly went behind her, then put her hair together, piling it together in his hand. With one swift motion, he put the hair in to the band, making a high ponytail. It wasn't perfect, and some of her hair was loose."I don't think that's right." He said, trying to remov
The Mayor's Second Wife What is This I Am Starting To Feel?
They worked in silence, Elijah sneaking small glances towards Jennifer who was completely focused. She worked so passionately, and maybe because it was because she felt directly affected, but he found it weirdly attractive.The way she slightly parted her lips as she went over the names, the way her hands scribbled quickly over the paper, and the subtle curve of her lashes as she lifted up from the notepad to the file she had propped up against the back of his laptop.They had opted to sit on the floor on each side of the center table. She propped up the files against the back of his laptop, and crossed he legs under her. Elijah did the same, and he found it comfortable."Anything?" He asked, trying to bring himself out of his own reverie.She looked up, her face solemn. "There is a pattern. And from the pattern, I think we can realize the method used to lure them. I don't think it was forceful abduction, from the pattern I am seeing, I am starting to believe they were lured using fak

Jennifer suddenly opened her eyes, and Elijah moved away from her, awkwardly tucking his hands into his pockets."Were you about to wake me up? Do you need something?" She asked, straightening to a sitting position on the couch.He shook his head. "No, not really. I just...uh...I am going to wrap up here, and then take you home. I will see the Governor over tea later." "Okay. You can just finish up and I'll wait."Relieved, he took in a deep breath and nodded. "I will be quick."He went back to his laptop while she stretched, then stood up to put the pen back in it's case. "You are using the notepad, right?" She asked, and he nodded."I asked Ivan to check it.""Okay, then. Glad I was of help."She waited for him till he wrapped up all the reports he was making, took a few phone calls, and they were set to go."Are you hungry? All you had was breakfast."She shrugged. "I am going home soon, anyway. I think I will be fine."He looked at her and sighed. "Let's go." He said to the drive
The Mayor's Second Wife Elijah Hugs Jennifer
Elijah put Jennifer gently to bed, and tucked her in, then went back to the desk to continue with his work. He has a few cards to check into, and he was going to check the phone number on the cards.There were only five, and he put the numbers into a call search site on his laptop. All five brought up the same name, Williams.He checked the cards. They were all slightly different. But not that he saw it, some had "Mr.Hugh." While others had "Liam Hugh."It rang a bell in his mind, and he put a call across to Ivan."Hello.""Yes sir?""The name of the contractor for the suburban area residential homes...what is his name again?"Ivan took a second before he answered. "Mr. Williams hugh. He was brought back and is still in jail awaiting evidence.""He is? Alright then. Thank you." He hung up and looked at it. No matter how he tried to check, Mr. Williams hugh was definitely connected to glory bar and the missing girls. All evidence and even circumstances pointed to him.He had built the
The Mayor's Second Wife The Alert
"Hey! Inmate 605. You have a letter." The jailer came to the door and threw in the wrapped envelope.Mr. Williams who looked way older than he actually was looked up at him and his brows furrowed."A letter?"The jailer only gave him a scowl as he turned his back to the door.He scowled back, even though the jailer wouldn't see it, and walked to the letter. He stood by the door which was the only source of light and opened the letter."The Mayor is investigating. X." That was the only content of the letter, but Mr. Williams knew exactly what it meant.He shook the remaining contents of the letter, and thousand dollar bills rolled off unto the floor.Going to his knees, he immediately packed them up and pushed them into the envelope, his eyes scanning around. There was no one.He knew he had to inform Lucky, Glory bar head immediately. If the Mayor finds anything on them, he wouldn't be the only one to go down. After all, some of his illegal activities have already come to light and he
The Mayor's Second Wife The Gift
Jennifer found herself left alone throughout, with Susan taking a lot of bed rest and Lilian tending to her. For some reason, it felt to Jennifer like Lilian didn't want to talk to her anymore, but she tried to keep the thought aside.She hadn't offended her, that she was sure of, so she just attributed it to her having so much on her hands."What are you thinking of?" Stephanie suddenly said, as she occupied the dining seat next to Jennifer's."Uh..not much." Jennifer said. It was surprising how Stephanie was now a lot calmer while talking to her, and she was kinder."You just don't want to share it?" She asked with a chuckle. "I understand." Stephanie stood, a slightly hurt expression on her face, but Jennifer called her back."I was just thinking of Elijah. He seems occupied."Stephanie giggled and sat next to her again. "Do you really like him? I mean, I thought of you as a gold digger, but...you don't even seem to wear any expensive stuff. You married him because you like him?""N
The Mayor's Second Wife Preparing for the Event
Jennifer ate calmly, occasionally stealing glances at Elijah. He tried hard to focus on his food, and excused himself once he finished.Jennifer stalled for a minute or two, before excusing herself too and went after him, holding the box close to her chest.Elijah was removing his coat when she came in, and she stood by the door."What is wrong?" Elijah asked, then turned to her."Uh...I wanted to give you your privacy. That's why."He smiled and unbuttoned his cuffs, then pulled the sleeve upwards and walked to her slowly."You can come in. I am just going to freshen up." "Uhm, Elijah? You, uhm..got me this gift..."He nodded. "Yes?""I mean, there is no occasion and it must have been expensive."He looked at her for a minute, wondering if he heard it correctly."I just..." He let his voice trail off as he took in a deep breath. "I just thought of you the moment I saw it. And they said I could customize it and that's why I did that." He threw his hands up in defeat, lacking proper wo
The Mayor's Second Wife Date
Mariah held her forehead, her other hand going to her waist. She couldn't lose control of her temper right now, or she would arouse too much suspicion and lack of trust."I am sorry, mother." She started to say, but Mrs.Morrison did not look like she was about to be calm. "I just thought it would be better if he went with me because I know my way around. It is fine." She turned and left the dining hall, even before Mrs.Morrison could say a word.Mrs. Morrison sat back down, her eyes filling up. "Did you hear Elijah? I bet he has felt so neglected over the years. This is all my fault, really. I pushed him into this marriage so he would establish himself as a family man. He never looked happy or even in love. I should have known." She took in a deep breath and held her head with both hands. Stephanie put a comforting hand on her shoulder as Jennifer stood up."Let me check on Elijah, mother. I wil be back.""No," Mrs. Morrison said. "Just stay with him, I will be fine."Jennifer gave her
