CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE A week had passed, the wedding had come and gone, they celebrated it in a small way, inviting only their family members and close friends. Owen and Rina were in attendance, as they had also been invited to the wedding. They had done the preparations and the celebration really fast, almost like a shotgun wedding. The police had come for questioning, thankfully after their wedding vows. Kate had noticed that Esme was not really concerned when she heard what had happened. It seemed like she was even coercing her not to go with the wedding plans, and she was surprised with her behavior. She had been the one who wanted the wedding to go through in the first place, now she was acting weird. Maria was fully in support of the wedding, well, why wouldn't she? She knew what she stood to gain as an inlaw of the Riverdales. Kate had left home to settle with Jake in his own apartment, she had really been a helping hand to him and Jake couldn't thank her enough. Maria

CHAPTER SEVENTY THREE Rina had just woken up from sleep, she stretched her body as she could still feel the sensations from their last night's activity. Owen was still asleep beside her, and she took that opportunity to adore him. His skin was flawless, unblemished,and this made her feel a little conscious of hers. She looked at his well carved eyebrows and his high cheekbones, down to his pointed nose. She traced her fingers through his face, with her eyes closed. She looked like she was carving his features into her mind, she trailed her finger from his forehead down to his nose and from there to his lips. She felt the softness of his lips in her fingertips and she smiled. His skin felt soft below her palms, but his lips felt more soft. She took her hand off his lips and trailed it back up to his hair, massaging his scalp. She took her head off when she had gotten her satisfaction. A small smile played at the corner of her lips as she opened her eyes and she almost fell f

CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE Maria was having a celebration in her house, as she was marking one week of a successful marriage between her daughter and her son in law. She had invited many people, Maria had always been an outdoor person, the hall was full to the brim, both male and female, young and old, friends and foes too. She had personally invited all of them, she knew those who were happy about the marriage and those who weren't. She just wanted to rub it all in their faces. The solo music was the only sound heard, as the rich never had the time to shake and dance at parties. Their parties were always calm and well planned, quiet even. She walked to and fro one place to another, as she made sure that everything was in place. She didn't want those whom she had invited, especially her enemies to laugh at her due to some unwanted and unnecessary happenings. She picked up a glass as it was obvious she wanted to make a toast. She climbed up the podium and their gazes fell on

CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN Rina had gone to work against all odds. He shouldn't have let Owen bathe with her in the toilet. She knew he would surely try something funny with her and he had done it, not just once, many times and she was beyond tired. Owen’s libido was just too much to handle for her and she could swear that he was corrupting her i o becoming like him. She was in her office, a cup of coffee in her hand and she droopd it as she used her hand to massage her shoulder blade, she could still feel the impact of their bedroom activities both yesterday and earlier combined together. She stretched her body on the seat and was about to stand up from her seat when her Assistant came in. “Learn to knock Haley” she chided and th girl chuckled. “I never learn” “Yeah, you never do, cause if you do, you would have learned by now, because I have been saying this for the past two years but you still haven't listened to me for a day” Haley smiled “That aside, someone is here to

CHAPTER 79 “What were you doing here, with him?” Owen asked Rina who was also surprised to see him there, although she didn't let it show, as she didn't want to rouse any more doubts within him. She knew fear or anxiety was the first thing someone who has already been suspicious of you, would look for whenever they see you in a compromising situation. She maintained her composure as she turned back to him with a small smile at the corner of her lips. “Owen, what are you doing here? I thought you went to work” she said as she drew near to him, acting like a concerned wife and although Owen was suspicious at first, he didn't see through her facade. He found it weird to understand her relationship with Jake in the past week, he felt as if something was going on between them. But he knew that the reasoning was totally illogical, because they wouldn't do such, when they can just settle with themselves if they please. Jake could divorce Kate if he wanted, and he was not yet married
