Breathing out deeply again for the umpteenth time tonight, I nervously rubbed my tummy soothingly, everything about tonight was just off and I didn't want to be here at all.
Turning my head to look at Jason who stood next to me with a hard look on his face, I squeezed his hand letting him know I was here too, experiencing it all with him.
He looked down at me smiling instantly and brought our interlaced fingers to his lips. Leaning my shoulder into him, he quickly wrapped his left arm around my shoulder.
"I don't have a good feeling about tonight," I said looking up at him and he clenched his jaw, shrugging his shoulders carelessly.
"Nothing with your dad is ever good," he said and to a great extent I agreed, but feeling the need to lighten the mood
Rosie I stood in the far corner lurking in the shadows watching Amelie throw herself at Jason. Even at a function she still wanted his attention... pathetic. I watched them talk and laugh around together, I wanted to know why but I didn't need them to know that I was also here, that I was also invited. I've wanted Jason ever since I met him, I remember the first day we crossed paths and it's been burnt inside my memory. I had just gotten my job at his house, and the senior maid told me that they were hiring extra staff in preparation for his return. I had always wondered who my boss was and one day I finally got to meet him.
Amelia I stared at my dad in shock as I registered everything he just said. What the fuck! When was this decision made and why wasn't I informed of it. Oh my gosh, Jason! Turning my head to look at him, I saw his jaw clench and I immediately grabbed his hand. "I swear I didn't know of this," I whispered and he looked down at me shaking his head, does he not believe me? "We'll talk about it later," he whispered back slowly, removing his hand from mine and clapping his hands while he gave me a hard look...he didn't believe me, again. "Beyond that, I am honoured," Rick continued. "I've been given the privilege to announce my only daughter's engagement to a man that I trained, to a man that went on and opened his own business and became successfu
Jason and I sat together on the right of Rick who was sitting at the head of the bedroom table. Today was the day of the press release and I was still dancing on my toes in anticipation. Due to the surprise last night and all the exhaustion, I decided to go home with Jason, I seriously wanted to figure out what my dad's plan was but I was tired. I never saw Marlene again last night but I didn't miss Rick's smirks filled with pride. I watched as the room filled with the important people of the board and with reporters, so many of them it made my head ache, I was ready to go home and sleep the rest of this nightmare away. Rick stood up from his seat pushing his left hand in his pocket, he unbuttoned his jacket obviously had done this process so many times, he cleared his throat and the room silenced.
I stood in Jason's kitchen waiting for my food to warm up. I woke up starving not that it was anything new. I sent Ora a few texts before pushing myself off the counter once I heard the ding telling me my food was ready. I opened the microwave and I was attacked with sweet satisfying smells that made my stomach growl. I grabbed my bowl and instantly dug into my food walking out the kitchen and almost bumped into Jason, luckily my food was safe. "Hi," he whispered and I nodded my head taking another spoonful of food, a smile made its way on his face and I shrugged in question. "You must've been hungry." "I woke up hungry," I said softly as I took another spoon. "It's quite normal," I said walking away to the living room.
I had finally decided to have lunch with Marlene because under all this stress and shit that was currently happening, I thought I should at least get to know something about my brother's. I rushed into the restaurant after talking to Jason who wouldn't stop calling every two hours. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting long?" I said to her and she shook her head, getting up and giving me a hug which I didn't expect at all. "It's alright, thank you for agreeing to meet me," she said excitedly and I smiled while taking my seat. "So how have you been? Your engagement and new position caught us all by surprise." "You can thank Rick for that," I mumbled under my breath and she gasped leaning forward. "The engagement too?" she ask
Jason I sat in my home office sorting out files and making necessary adjustments to the documents before leaning back on my chair and releasing a heavy sigh. I read through the files I had just compiled together and I could feel the frown between my eyebrows deepen. I felt soft hands release the tension on my shoulders as they applied enough pressure, her lips made contact with my ear and I felt a pleasurable shiver run down my skin. "You're so tense, daddy. You should relax," I released a groan and held her hand to bring her around so that she could stand in front of me. My breath hitched as soon as I saw what she was wearing. "Do you like it, daddy?"
"Amelia Adams, will you do me the honours of becoming my wife, Mrs Daniels?" I stared at Jason feeling many emotions pass through me. Excitement and joy because I was really happy he proposed to me, I never thought the day would come but it's finally here! Confusion because I never really thought the day would be here. I stared into his eyes as the hopefulness turned into worry, was he worried about what my response would be? I swear when I woke up today I didn't think it would be filled with double exciting news despite the current circumstances which by the way were about to change. "Amelia?" he choked out standing up and I realized I hadn't answered him yet. "Get back on your knee!" I quickly said, pushing him back down and nodding my head rapidly. "Yes, I'd love
I walked into Rick's and Kiara's house feeling extremely nervous and I was just about ready to vomit all of my anxiety out, but I was willing to stay strong, for my new family I had to stay strong. Where there's a will, there's a way. I cringed at my corny thought but it was a truthful thought that I'm not about to repeat! And of course, there is never a time I enter madam's house and she's not there, I wonder what it will be today. "Hey there, Ms CEO!" She chirped, waving her hands showing me she had just changed her nails, to a mustard colour and they were coffin-shaped, they weren't bad at all but for her skin colour, they didn't really compliment her pretty fingers, she did have pretty fingers. "Hey Kiara, how are you doing?" I asked clutchin
