Chapter 1
Jake stood on the soft sand of the Silver Planet island with a cold breeze fanning him as his brown eyes searched around for Sonya. He rushed to the suite with concern etched on his face only to find his friend sitting on the couch with a gamepad in his hand. “Did you see her? We're supposed to meet today for our anniversary.” “You can just call her.” his friend said his attention towards the screen while tapping on the pad in his hands “Did she forget?” Jake whispered to himself trying to shake off the creeping doubt. With a heavy heart, he dialled her number, his fingers trembling with every press. He pulled out his shirt as he was met with a sweaty body after the silence on the other end. He walked dejectedly into their small room. They were on friend vacation and Jake shared the same room with his friend but not today. He wanted to check if she was in the room and if she had intentionally left his call ringing. He entered the room without struggling, he walked around the room eased by the privilege to explore his wife's room filled with her flowery scent. He wandered along her silky silver dress on the counter arranged with the shoes, he smiled as his heart pounded in his chest with beautiful illusions of his wife looking for their dinner. “She got a nice dress for our anniversary, Sonya won't stop surprising me.” he whispered to himself. While drinking the sight of the silver dress his eyes stumbled to an envelope on the table beside the bed, the envelope was so attractive with the flowery embodiment on it. What is in the envelope? He wondered as he fought the urge not to peep but finally did. His eyes were brimming with shock, surprises and emotions as he read the note in the envelope. “I am three weeks late… you might not understand that is why I attached the pregnancy strip. I am pregnant.” Jake held his hand to his mouth as he looked at the pregnancy strip by the bed, excitement reeled in his stomach. He held his hand into a fist with excitement, his throat rippling with veins and he couldn't wait to hear the news from her tonight on their anniversary day. He looked around and brought out his phone as he walked out and nudged his friend on the shoulder. “Let's organize a party in Soho house, it will be on me. My wife has made me proud. In fact I'm the most happiest man on the Silver Planet.” — With excitement Jake dressed in the best suit he had come along with, his friend called him regarding the boarding of the exquisite Soho House but he could get the commoner suite because the exquisite suite had been chartered and most of it because of Jake money but he didn't mind. He dropped his phone with a sweaty palm. The surprise he had for her couldn't wait to unveil as he rubbed them together to keep his hand warm. He told Sonya in his text that he would meet her in the park with the car he rented but she hasn't showed up. “Did she forget?” Jake whispered to himself trying to shake off the creeping doubt. “She wouldn't, besides the gown must cost a fortune for her to forget, especially with the good news at hand.” With concern he pressed the phone again, his fingers trembling with each press, especially now that she's pregnant. Jake muttered to himself. “Is she alright?” He gathered himself together and dialed her number again, this time he was lucky she answered his call. “Sonya, Sonya where are you? Are you alright?” he paused to hear her talk when she's quiet he proceeded. “I have been waiting for you.” Instead of the usual calm soft voice he was expecting to hear, he was met with a raging voice. “Jake! You're blowing my phone off with your unending calls and texts. Take breaks!” “I thought something was wrong, today is our anniversary. And I wanted us to spend the moment together. Surprising you.” Sonya laughed hysterically over the phone. “With what?” she hissed then ended the call before Jake could utter a word. Jake had emptied his pocket to collect the Soho house for their anniversary, and that was because he saw Sonya was already with the dress on her bed. He thought something was wrong somewhere staring at the phone screen for Sonya to call back but she didn't. He calmed down and texted her one more time as he thought she must be acting out of hormones then a call rang into his phone, he was so quick to answer it. “Sonya I understand why you're anxious…” “Honestly Jake, don't you get tired? You're so poor and you disgust me, what can you possibly organize, if not for a breadcrumb party. Stop trying to act romantic, you should be more practical like focusing on making a decent living.” The word struck Jake like a fist to heart leaving him in frustration and confusion. How could she say something like that when he saw clearly that they were good all this while and even went on trip with their friends and the pregnancy. He thought all these things were to bring them closer together. “Sonya, I love you and I promise you won't regret the time you spent with me. Don't throw what we have away.” Jake said with a shaking voice. “Love? Hahaha, you're funny Jake. Love won't put food on my table. Love won't give me the kind of life I want.” Sonya killed the call before Jake could say another word. A heavy weight settled in his stomach, weighing him down to the earth, he was shattered, the baby name list as well as the red roses in his hand fell and smashed on the floor. He couldn't believe his ears, he hit his head on the steering wheel when his phone buzzed with a text. “Hey man, you need to come over. This instant something is not right!” Jake drove the car straight to Soho house to meet his friend. “What happened? Did you use the money on something else because it's all about Sonya, she would get mad when she comes and think i'm tricking her. Don't ruin today for me man.” He warned Trent. Trent reared back pointing his finger ahead of Jake. “Look man. You’re still bothered about Sonya? Strange enough she just passed with a man.” Jake heart skipped a beat as he saw the same silky dress from this morning on his wife and she stood laughing alongside a man. Everyone walked up to them. “It was you guys that rented the Soho House, and gave everyone a free treat.” The man laughed charmingly and replied. “I rented it out to surprise my lovely woman over here.” Sonya gazes up at him, her eyes brimming with affection. “It must be a strong relationship for a man as busy and reputable as him to celebrate with you today. Is it your birthday? Your anniversary? What are we celebrating?” They guests were eager to find out and Sonya smiled lightly with a second glance at the guy, he nudged her to go ahead. “We’re celebrating our anniversary.” Jake felt a bang of thunder in his head. “That can’t be Sonya, she won’t hurt me and disgrace me in public.” Trent squeezed him on the shoulder assuredly. “So you guys have been together for a year and the love is still brimming. We’re so impressed to learn this.” “And the baby?” Jake asked silently, “he can’t be responsible for the pregnancy.” He whispered to himself. “They're acting right. Trent.” Trent shook his head to snap Jake back into reality. He felt his hand trembling, his phone almost slipping from his hand, confusion and betrayal drowned out the sound of the crowd cheering for the two couples. “You must be ready to propose to her tonight, I can see you’re not yet married.” “We will be getting married in a month, and we’re already expecting a baby.” Sonya quickly replied, her voice laced with sweetness and she hugged the man tight.Chapter 2 Jake stuttered forward, his heart ripping in his chest at the realization of everything unfolding before him. Then Sonya's eyes meet two glaring eyes from the crowd that gets her to stutter backwards, it was Jake who welled out of the crowd absentmindedly.“What is happening here?” Sonya rolled her eyes and fell into her boyfriend's arms.“What do you think? I shouldn’t feel bad for you, get lost.” She hissed and hugged her boyfriend passionately.“I was going to divorce you Jake, I’m tired of putting up with your crazy attitude.”Jake felt a hammer to his chest, the crowd started murmuring and bringing out their phone to video the scandal unravelling before their eyes.“I took care of your father, made sure I worked hard to provide the life you want. Is it a crime to love you?”Sonya was dead silent for a while. “You owe that to my father because you put him in that situation and the petty money you give me cannot provide the life I want. Better watch that mouth of yours!
Jake pulled away from the man and then adjusted his clothes from swinging away, the man looked at him. And Jake smashed in his masculine tone. “Is it my father that sends you or my sister?”Jake inquired and the man cleared his throat. “Both of them, young madam saw the video circulating,”Jake clenched his jaw, this was in Silver Planet, he chuckled bitterly at his brother's thoughtfulness. “What about you tell him yourself? That would be the better, young master.” Jake, folding his arm by his side in hesitation, gazed down the road. “Are you going to defy me? Taking advantage of my current situation to get me back that is so much like him.” Jake unlocked the door but found out it was still locked despite his protest. “I'm sorry young master, but you have to come with us.” The car engine started and they revved onto the highway. Jake, surprised by the stubbornness of the bodyguards, scoffed and focused his attention on the streetlights. Memories wafted to him swallowing the l
Sonya, was more than shocked by the confidence in Jake's words, she stared at Jake, her mind stitching every piece of the word together. “Jake, you must be out of your mind asking for divorce.” Interrupting her Jake voice was sharp and emotionless. “Is that not what you wanted, why are you acting like I betrayed you. I was there Sonya. If I was told you'd cheat on me I would deny it but I witnessed it firsthand.”Panic seized Sonya, all this while Jake stayed at home and tended to her ill father, now that he's divorcing her who will take on the role.“You want a divorce! After everything I have done for you. You're so shameless.”“I have made up my mind, I can't bear being made a fool while you claim to be single with your lover.”Sonya stepped forward and slapped her hand across Jake's face, “I will divorce you whenever I want. It was just a show, I haven’t made up my mind.”Jake's anger pushed him forward with glaring anger and he grabbed Sonya by the arm. “Look Sonya, I treated
“Jake, where did you get so much money from?” Young master Manson asked in surprise.Jake smiled generously but his eyes were slightly cold. “Don’t worry my old friend, Manson, I didn't steal them, I have found a new girlfriend, not only is she considerate but richer.”“Black diamond card?” Manson exclaimed with doubt. “Did you discover it on your way here? Or did Sonya finally settle you for being her side piece by giving you an antique?”Jake's eyes flew with disgust. “How can it be, you’re thinking too much Jake, she’s so petty.”Manson, annoyed by this fact, wore a decor on his face and smiled awkwardly. “Jake, you're surprisingly going from Sonya to a very capable woman in a week! Haha.”The black diamond gold card was issued by the Crystal Planet only and there were only a few of them, to be specific there were sixty of them and these sixty diamond cards were distributed among the top rich families. Sonya's father was one of them and so was Janet Blake.“Of course, she's very ge
At Sonya Family “Jake and I got divorced, and I will be marrying,” Sonya said with a satisfied expression.Her mother stepped closer to her. “That's my girl, that good for nothing don't deserve you. I thought I wasn't the one that gave birth to you when you decided to stay with that bastard.”Although Sonya felt bad about Jake leaving her when she thought he cowered around and begged her for a second chance, she knew that employing a house help to look after her disabled father was going to incur extra costs for her.Although Manson was around there at that moment for the homecoming party. He thought to himself, Jake has found a new patron and may not be more interested in Sonya, what he said was. “Sonya is such a beautiful and outstanding lady, I think Jake will not let go of her easily.”Ella raised her head and said arrogantly. “My sister is not someone he can covet, he's an ugly toad with nothing to offer wishing to dine with swans. Who the hell does he think he is? Serves him ri
Emma couldn't clearly understand everything that was happening. She turned to her colleague. “Why is the department head furious and doing everything to please that man?” The department manager of the Cassanova Motel was a man of high status, even when governors and other rich people could he was not so enthusiastic in serving them, when Emma saw her superior with a flattering attitude towards Jake she wondered in confusion. Anxiously she asked again. “The manager couldn't have fired me right.” Her colleague sighed and pointed out the window. “The car the person drove here is the Voidom Mercedes! The latest model of Mercedes produced by the Blake family on Crystal Planet, I heard it costs over 350 million,” Vivian said to Emma mysteriously. Emma shook her head, unable to believe Jake could afford a scooter, talking more of the latest Mercedes car produced on Crystal Planet. “Where did he get so much money?” she asked absentmindedly. Emma thought to herself Jake's family shouldn'
Jake had just hung up on Janet and another call entered, Jaje picked up the call and the image of his friend showed up. “Jake you divorced Sonya! I didn't think you'd ever do that!” His friend looked at the bed behind Jake and shot a shocking glare at Jake, “How did you get such a lavish apartment in r is that a wallpaper behind you?” Jake nodded and replied, his face stoic with no expression. “No, it's my apartment.” “There is a classmate gathering tomorrow, you must come,” he said. “Classmate gathering!” Jake asked in surprise, even when he was together with Sonya he wouldn't attend the classmate gathering, he would listen to his classmates mocking him and calling him all sorts of bad names. “Yes, it's the same date every year, you should attend this time around. It's at 6:00 pm at the Silver Planet Hotel. Many classmates are insulting you and saying Sonya divorced you because you cheated on her, they labelled you ungrateful they want you to clear the rumour. I have told them t
“Jake you're finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.” his friend Trent rushed towards him. “Did you really lodge at Silver Planet Casanova VIP room?” Jake looked at Trent and teased, “You're such a know-it-all all.” “Come on I got the news from Emma, she is here too, you first bought a luxury shuttle, then a VIP suite of 30 thousand, you're a posh now.” He said with an obvious jealous tone and thought to himself: Jake spent over 300 million on a star shuttle and 30 thousand on a one-night suite. He spent such a huge amount after his break up in total. What kind of person is his girlfriend? She is so stupid that he would give Jake that much money! "You even got a VIP suite?" As soon as Ella walked in, she heard the conversation between Jake and Trent. Jake smiled and said. “It's just a small suite, it's not even compared to the price of your daily spending my fair lady.” “Looks like you've soared higher this time.” Ella huffed in disbelief. With his shar
