"Good morning Aunt." June and Anna chorused."Hmm, good morning Lawyers." Bridget replied and turned back to her room seeing that the sitting room was occupied.Once out of sight, June turned to Anna. "You never told me we have Bridget Tacha with us L.a.w.y.e.r." She stressed, shaking her head to the side as she mimicked Bridget. This caused an uproar of laughter amongst the two sisters."She should be the least of your problems now. You need to speak to Simon about Gracia's presence in the house before he comes downstairs. You know he'll tear the whole place down seeing an outsider in the house. So, you'd better go tell him now than later." Anna suggested."And how am I going to do that?" June asked, looking confused."I don't know, by telling him maybe. How else do you want to do it.""Where is Emily and Paige anyway?" June asked, recalling that she has seen neither of them since her arrival at the Mansion."Both are inside their respective rooms. Emily doesn't want to see or meet Br

"The cardiac center is not entirely free Baby." He said. "It's open to the general public as well. The medical personnels working over there are extremely qualified. So, people who are financially capable are allowed to pay. While the ones who cannot afford the bill are given ted talks, their information is gathered and they will be picked at random. Our yearly target for charity cases at the Cardiac center is a total of twenty cases. I also have some farmer's children at Galvile whom I assist with scholarships and their tuition fees." He told her.Listening to Simon speak, Paige felt nothing but admiration for the man seated beside her. She wished she had met someone like him when she lost her father. Maybe life wouldn't have been so hard for her. She imagined the gratitude these families he helped would have for him. It will be an endless flow of appreciation from them for the rest of their lives. Even without being in their shoes, she was extremely grateful to him for being so kind

"You made the soup?" Gracia asked, finally speaking for the first time at the table. She turned her gaze towards Paige and gave her a cold stare."I did." Bridget replied."It tastes so good. You should teach me how to make it." She added."I sure will. We will make time to teach you." Bridget replied.Simon cleared his throat, pausing the ongoing conversation. "Aunt Bridget, the food is tasty, thank you." He praised Bridget, who beamed with smiles. "Now can we make a toast to the soon to be bride, June Kentley." He said, raising a glass. Everybody followed suit with their glasses, except June who was blushing happily."Thank you brother." She mouthed smiling happily."Cheers to the bride to be." Simon announced."Happy married life in advance." Everybody said as they clicked their glasses together. June picked up her own glass and joined them. Once they were done, everybody settled down happily."I'm so happy for you June." Gracia said to June who nodded and mouthed her thank you's.

The whole scene that just played out took her back to that shit hole she was in, a few years ago after everything she went through with Franklin. If only there was a way to get this man and keep him all to herself, she would have done that. But there was nothing she could do, his heart was with someone else and as terrible as that sounded, she had to accept that reality.She walked down to the room she was sharing with her mother and met the older woman in a not so good mood."It's a good thing you came." Martha said to her daughter.Gracia sighed and sank into her bed. "Mum, I know I messed up this morning and if it's any consolation, I'm so sorry. I don't even know what came over me. I... I was carried away by the fact that I want Simon and he's not seeing me at all. But I've apologized to most of the people I've wronged this morning." She said, rubbing her face with her palms."I really don't want you to give me a long epistle of how I messed up. I've owned up to it, if you say som

Just as she had always wished for, June Kentley had her dream wedding. She got married to her dream man right in the heart of Yardstin.A garden setting for their exchange of vows. At the entrance of the three hotels that their guests were lodged in; the Yorkshire, Charoll and Salton hotels, stood more than a hundred security personnel guarding and ensuring the safety of their guests.On one side of the garden, several elevated seats were already prepared for June's fans from Social Media and her popular Television show that was focused on the challenges of a young lawyer.Just outside the Yorkshire Hotel, the site for June and Alfred's big wedding, stood prominent journalists and media stations covering the event from all angles.At the center of the garden, a made-up and well decorated tent became the center of every media's attention. The tall, draping curtains from the steel frames suddenly opened, revealing a calm and handsome Alfred with his best man. Slowly, they stepped out in
