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 TWO Jake had just woken up from sleep, although not willingly. Someone had disturbed his peaceful sleep and he felt like cursing at whoever just did it,but he stopped himself, as he had a very good idea of who it was and he lived the disturbance more than the sleep. He and Kate's marriage had been a peaceful one and he had to admit, everyday had been a different episode of relaxation and he wanted to know what today held for them. He squinted his eyes from the bright light coming into the room. He used his hands to rub his eyes as he got up from the bed, heading towards the door. Immediately he opened the door,he sensed the way she observed him from head to toe. He almost smacked his head, Gosh,he had forgotten to check if there were signs of sleep on his face. Well, he knew he looked good tho. Kate was taken by his morning face. She had always known that he was handsome, but he looked more masculine with this untouched face of his. She almost had a nosebl
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 FOUR Daniel had been on tenterhooks for some time now. Ever since the kidnap, Owen had not done or said anything and this kept both him and Tamara ok the edge. They thought he would retaliate immediately he managed to go free but he proved them wrong. Danile knew he had failed his mother. He didn't get Owen to sign the documents of the house transfer, he didn't get him to transfer the properties to him either. He had underestimated Owen and his forces. Had he known, be would have hired more men. Their company was at the verge of bankruptcy, he and his mother had withdrew most of their saving and put them into the company, but it seemed as if, whatever they did, inky made it more worse. Tamara had given up on it already and he knew she would sell it out to any available buyer if she would see one now, but he knew it would be hard to see buyer because it is very obvious that no one would willingly jump into a sinking boat, unless someone who was insane. Current
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 76Jake and Kate’s one day love life dateKate brought out from her wardrobe a cute sparkly blue dinner dress that she had bought for a professional outing, but from the looks of it today was the day which this gown had found a remarkable purpose. It was a knee-length gown with slight ruffles in the front, small straps running across her shoulders , a low neck V-line, and an open back with a small slit by the side. She put on a pair of silver heels to match.She combed her out and did a side swoop for a cute but chic effect to finish up the look and adorned herself with some jewelry comprising of a glittery pair of silver ear-rings, bracelets, a Louis Vuitton necklace and her wedding ring. Staring at it still made her feel surreal. And her black bag was the last item needed. She contemplated between a purse and a bag and she settled for the bag to give class.Kate was all smiles in her room as she admired herself in the mirror. She sprayed some perfume and she was out the door
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 78 “Imagine the police coming into our wedding, just to come take you out for questioning and investigation, that would be… gross” as she said this, the expression on Jake's face made her burst into laughter. He was too damn serious. She knew the police wouldn't do something like that, for courtesy reasons, and Jake's mother would not allow them to. She was that powerful. “Well, after listening to your POV, I've come to a very simple conclusion, which is…” Jake paused for a while and Kate could hear her heartbeat in her ears. She couldn't admit her fears. “I won't cancel the wedding.it was my decision to go with it in the first place, and the Riverdales never go back on their words” Kate was beyond joyed when she heard his words. She had almost fainted when she thought he would cancel the wedding. It had been on her mind the whole day, and when he got shot, she had lost hope, her joy knew no boundaries as she ran into his arms and Jake felt the air knocked out of his l
