"Put your head on my shoulder, hold me in your arms…" That was the sound of Junior's phone ringing. Junior had never felt so glad to hear his ringtone, it was Elise calling him with her office number"Sorry, I need to take this" Junior said to Bianca"It's fine, go ahead" Bianca replied"Hello, what's up?" Junior asked"Hi, Junior. It's me, Elise" Elise said on the other end of the phone"Hey, I know it's you. What's up?"Junior repeated"I just realized that I forgot to remind you to sign some important documents before leaving the office.I wanted to let you know and see if you could come back soon and take care of it" Elise said"Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, those documents are crucial. It would be best if i come back to the office and sign them as soon as possible" Junior said"I apologize for the oversight. But you don't need to come right away though, I just wanted to notify you so you don't spend too much time where you are" Elise said "It's no problem, It happ
It was the D-Day Junior stood in front of his mirror to access his outfit once more. He had on a well-tailored suit that fits him perfectly, it wasn't as expensive as the Armani he had worn the other day, but it would doThe suit was a navy colored one and he had on a blazer and matching trousers. The Blazer had a structured silhouette and was buttoned up Inside, he wore a crisp, long-sleeved dress shirt made of high-quality cotton. The color of the shirt was a classic shade of light blueThe shirt was neatly tucked into his trousers, and his cuffs were fastened with cufflinks for an added touch of sophisticationJunior rearranged his tie. It was a silk-blend tie that complements the colors of his suit and shirt and was tied in a neat and professional knot, and was just the right length, reaching the top of his trousers' waistbandHe wore tailored trousers that matched his suit jacket, and was a straight fit. It was worn at his natural waist and was neither too tight or too loose.
"You know, you remind me of myself, or should I say you remind me of who I used to be" Junior said to Bianca"A hopeless romantic?" Bianca asked teasingly"Yes, that's one of the many things I was" Junior said"What changed?" Bianca asked"Life. Life happened and changed a lot of things, I was forced to see reality" Junior replied"Well, your answer is quite vague, but I won't ask for clarification. People shouldn't be judged based what their family members have done" Bianca replied"I am not judging him, I'm just trying to look out for you" Junior responded"I really appreciate that, but it's not necessary. Xavier is a hard-working young man, he's honest and he's simply trying to sort out his own path, I wish people would see past his family sins and see the potential in him" Bianca said"Well, if he's really all you say he is, I wish you both well" Junior said"Thank you" Bianca said, a smile on her beautiful face"So, when's the wedding?" Junior asked"We haven't fixed a date yet"
"Absolutely not!" Elise said"Why? She could be of assistance" Junior replied"In what way? From what you've said, it's obvious she's head over heels in love with him. She wouldn't be able to reason properly" Elise retorted"We can't be certain until we try. Bianca is probably going to end up being a victim of Xavier's scheme if we don't notify her" Junior said"We will tell her, but not just yet. We have no solid proof against Xavier" Elise said"We do. You're a living proof. Xavier has been begging you to go out with him, even if that doesn't change her mind completely, atleast, it will gain her attention" Junior said"And then what? It's going to be my word against Xavier's and we both know who to place our money onShe won't believe us. Xavier's just going to tell her I'm responsible for the downfall of his parents and now, I'm trying to bring him down too and she'll believe himAnd then, you're going to have to reveal yourself. And if Xavier finds out who you are, our whole plans
Junior stared blankly at his computer screen. It had been almost an hour since Elise left to meet up with XavierShe had promised to keep him updated and text him the address where Xavier had asked her to meet him but she hadn't sent anythingJunior felt restless. Was Elise okay? A part of him knew physically hurting Elise was something really stupid and even Xavier wouldn't be that stupid, but still, he felt really worriedHe considered calling her, but decided against it. Elise was a strong woman, she could look after herself, besides, it's just been an hour, it's possible she was yet to locate the placeMany thoughts kept flashing through Junior's mind, suddenly his phone rang, without looking at the caller ID, he answered"Elise! What happened? I've been worried sick about you. Are you okay?" Junior asked"Woah, slow down" the person on the other end of the phone replied with a light laugh"This isn't Elise. Who is this?" Junior asked"No, this is not Elise and as for your questio
"D'Miller brand?" Bianca asked"Yes" Junior simply replied"Yes, I do know where it's located but what has that brand got to do with my question?" Bianca asked"It has a lot to do with it. We need to go there, but first, let me confirm if Elise is back to the office" Junior repliedHe quickly sent a text to Elise and she confirmed that she was in the office and was waiting for him, he assured her he would be there soon"Junior, what's going on?" Bianca asked"Just drive to D'Miller brand, when we get there, I promise to explain everything" Junior said"How can you expect me to just drive off to a place I know no one? Besides, my fiance just called me and he sounded really scared, I'm supposed to be with him right now, I just need you to answer this simple question about how you know where he is" Bianca screamed"Calm down, I can assure you, your fiance does not need you running to him right now, he's safe" Junior said reassuringly"How can you be so sure?" Bianca asked"Just, trust me
"Why?" Bianca whispered"That's the same question we've been asking ourselves and we're yet to figure it out" Junior replied"I'm really sorry for springing this up on you, but you just had to be told the truthWe may not have been friends for a long time, but I know you have a good heart and I can't stand by and watch you get hurt" Junior saidBianca was trying to process everything, this was the last thing she was expecting to hearHer thought was distracted by the message sound on her phone going offShe brought out her phone and realized it was messages from Xavier, he sent her not just messages but pictures as well"Is everything okay?" Junior asked Bianca when he realized she just continued to stare at her phone for a while"Xavier sent me pictures and he's hurt. Listen, I know he may be up to no good, but I can't sit back and watch while he's in this conditionI'm not going to tell him about any of what we've discussed, but right now, I need to be by his side" Bianca said and g
"Number one" Junior started"Xavier can bring up the name; Elise Chapman" Junior saidBianca scoffed "That's not possible" Bianca said"Hold on, I'm not done yet. Xavier could bring up Elise's name and tell you about her and about his past relationship with herI believe he would also mention about how badly he had treated her and how he deeply regrets itHe could say she had an involvement in what happened to his parents and instead of resenting her, her actions awakened something he had been bottling inXavier would then confess to you he had rekindled his relationship with Elise and he realizes he's in love with herAnd then he'll claim it would be unfair to you for him to proceed with the marriage knowing fully well his heart belongs to another" Junior explained and paused"I think I get it, this is a possibility. Xavier knows you have a kind heart, he knows you would never force him to marry you, he's aware you love him deeply and rather than him being in an unhappy marriage wit
