By the time Xavier got into the room, he was startled by a strange figure laying on his bed and that was when it dawned on him that he got married to a stranger today. He felt exhausted from the day's activities and decided to go to bed and have a talk over concerning the contract tomorrow. He took a quick shower and jumped into bed. He used some pillows as a wall between them to keep her out. There was no way he was going to be allowing this woman to touch him. He barely knew her. He would ask his assistant to do a background check on her. Jessica's body clock never failed and by five am on the dot, her eyes were wide open and ready for the day's activity. She had taken her annual leave from work when she was to get married so she didn't have to go to work. Although they had no honeymoon planned Jessica still took the leave to spend time with her husband when she got married. She stood up and decided to arrange her things. Yesterday after dinner she wanted to arrange them but she

"Would you like some breakfast?" Jessica asked now feeling good. It would be a bad thing if she was to be avoiding him. Their being friends could put her mind at ease. "I don't eat breakfast," Xavier said sharply. "Come on. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" Jessica said kind of playfully. She was carefree and even though her mind was not fully pulled off from Burke she was doing all sorts to distract herself from the fact that she was dumped and married within a day. "I don't have breakfast," Xavier said coldly and more sharply than before. "I'm a good book. Remember that I'm a chef" Jessica said convincingly. "Drop it," Xavier said and began to walk away. "Maybe he doesn't like breakfast" She murmured to herself and shrugged before leaving the room. She went back to her room and discovered that the clothes she put out had been taken away. She went back down and made a simple breakfast of oats for herself. She had it before going back up to freshen up for the da

Jessica stepped out of the elevator on the hospital's private VIP floor and made her way to Dawson's room. She was healthy and never had the chance of going to hospitals talk less climbing up to the private floor. Marrying a billionaire overnight has its perks. She pushes open the door and sees Dawson eating cut-up apples while watching the television absentmindedly. "Hell sir," Jessica said trying to get his attention on her. "I've told you that you can call me Dawson," he said as his face lit up. Dawson was bored at the hospital. His grandson had to run things around since he had been hospitalized for almost six months. He had a caregiver but she was mostly rigid and afraid and refused to talk probably because it was not in her job contract. "How are feeling today?" Jessica asked ignoring his statement. She felt weird calling him by his name. He was old after all. "Waiting to die," Dawson said joking. Since the doctor had told him that he would definitely die he had been makin

Xavier knew that his grandfather would badger him into saying sorry to Jessica. Although he saw nothing wrong in what he did, he decided to apologize to save himself the trouble. He stepped out of the room and met Jessica sitting on one of the waiting chairs munching on the burger while sipping the coke. Her eyes caught him as he took long strides toward her. She rolled her eyes at him hoping that he saw her and turned her face the other way. Xavier sat quietly beside her. He had grown up living a luxurious life. He had never needed to say sorry to anyone before because he was always right even when he was wrong. Learning at a young age that money fixes everything he decided to go with that approach to life. He cleared his throat multiple times. "Got something stuck in your throat?" Jessica asked ensuring that her annoyance is felt in her voice. He shook his head and cleared his throat again. Apologizing was harder than he thought. "If you have something to say, say it now," Jes

Jessica had made herself a full lunch. The house helps saw her cooking, she even offered to make something for them to which Roselle declined. After her filling lunch, she went ahead to fill up the things she bought into the side of the closet that Xavier had cleared out for her. She had gone to a thrift store and gotten the clothes she needed. She wished she had a little extra money with her so she didn't have to spend from her husband's limitless card. Although what she spent was not so much she still felt bad and decided to wire him back the money as soon as she started working again. She had pulled up her savings and used them to furnish Burke's house because she thought she would be living there after the wedding. She wanted to get her money back from him since he cheated on her but she was afraid she would embarrass herself in his presence when she gets there. She knew her heart was still too fragile to handle seeing him with another woman and her best friend at that. She
