CHAPTER SEVENTY

“How are you feeling?” Rina asked Owen. They had just come back from the hospital after the checkup. The doctors had discharged him as his injuries were not all that serious and Owen had told them that he wouldn't want to be admitted, so they had discharged him after the checkup.

I'm fine” Owen replied, pulling her into a hug which felt uncomfortable for the both, with their positions in the car. Owen drove them hoke today, as he claimed he was fit enough to drive and he had dismissed the driver.

They got down from the car and Rina held his hand as they walked into the house. He raised his hand which she was holding, and placed a kiss at the back of her palms and Rina smiled. Although he was gone for just a day, it seemed like a week to the both of them. He saw how it affected her greatly and he vowed within him to look for a way to make it up to her.

Owen could see the eye bags beneath her eyes, which signified tiredness, but she wasn't willing to show

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?

    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

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

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.

She had thought of what happened between her and her mother earlier and now, she was feeling a little bit guilty. She could clearly understand the kind of pain and confusion her mother was in, and yelling at her that way was like pouring salt on an open wound. She had to sleep over it to realize that. Mario shifted on the bed and she understood he was trying to sit up. She sat up and he did too. They sat facing each other and he gave her a look that said ‘I told you so’ . “Don't give me that look” Kate said as she bent her face. She was already having a bad day without getting out of bed. She stood up from the bed and stripped to the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned her teeth before coming out. She met him in the same position she had left him and she gave him a questioning look. “Aren't you getting out of bed?” She asked. “Hell, I am

The guards had stopped banging the door and Rose Mary surmised that they had come to a conclusion that banging it would not make her open it. She had a cunny smirk on her face. “What do you say Danny? Just a word from you and those men outside will back down. You can end this, you alone can end it” Tyla continued, hoping she could convince her even though her hope was very low. “So, I should let him go? Is that what you are trying to say” She asked, her gun still pointing at Owen where he knelt on the floor. “Yes, and we can all go home in Peace” Rose Mary replied this time. “Here you are, talking of peace and still having a gun pointed at me. How peaceful that looks” Danny taunted. Owen looked between Rose and Tyla and he gave her a slow nod. She gave Danny a thorough look before gently bringing the gun

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR Rina sat on the floor in the bathroom, she had left the shower on so she could cry and shout without anyone outside noticing even though she knew they wouldn't notice since the walls were soundproof and she had shut the door damn tight. She couldn't take Tyla's voice off her mind, the statement repeated itself severally in her ears and she tried to shut it off, but it wasn't working out. Of all the times, now that she had finally fallen for him, now that she had decided to be good, live a good life and make kids with him. She laughed warily. It seems fate has its own way of making decisions. She had finally become a first wife without even asking for it. Never in her wildest dreams would she think that something like this would actually happen. She didn't grow up in a polygamous family so she wouldn't want her kid to grow up in one as she knew about the issues that always resulted. She got under the running shower with her clothes on

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE She never thought Gabriel would think of coming here in this lifetime. “What the hell is Gabriel doing here?” She asked no one in particular “Tell him I'm on my way” she told the girl before going back in and she heard the girl leave. She went back into her room and she wiped the tears off her face and applied a little bit of makeup to shield her swollen under eyes. She came out after a little time and she went downstairs to see Gabriel. He came with his assistant, his handbag as she addressed him before. “To what do I owe this pleasure?” She asked as she walked down the stairs majestically. Gabriel and the man raised their heads up simultaneously to look at her. “Tamara” Gabriel called and she cocked a brow at him. “What is it Mr man?” She asked “How's Daniel?” He asked and she chuckled loudly. “Oh, you remembered to ask of him today. That's weird, did something happen to Owen? Huh? Best father of the year” She said, her voi

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO “Hands up where I can see them” she heard him say again and she obeyed without complaining. She heard an engine roar and in no time, the whole place lit up. It seems they had put on the generator. She cursed as she saw the person pointing the gun at her. It was the man from earlier, the one she had not killed and she regretted that decision right now. She should have just killed him, but it was too late. Sb couldn't turn back the hand of time. She raised both of her hands up in the air and she saw another shooter come out from the back. It was Danny and it seems like the woman recognized her too because she smirked when she saw her. Tyla gave her a bored look, she had this haughty smile on her face. “What a surprise Tyla, looks like Owen couldn't man up and come by himself, so he sent you instead. That's funny” she said,her smirk not leaving her face. “Well, he didn't seem you worthy enough” Tyla replied with a calm smile and Danny cocked

You have to listen to me” Mario yelled back and that earned him a glare from Kate. “I do not regret it because no matter how many times I look at it, all I can see is the day you walked through that door and then the moment you agreed to marry me” he paused for a while. “At first, I had decided that I would just play along until it was time to leave, but after spending a day with you, here in this house, I fell without second thoughts. I do not know what you have done or what you are doing to me Kate, heck I didn't even marry you out of love, but I can gladly tell you that this man right here is on a leash and you Kate, are the one who holds that leash” he paused again. He could see she was literally struggling with the tears that were threatening to pour out any minute. “I understand why you're acting this way, but I just want you to know that I am very sorry and I wish you would actually forgive me and we can go b

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE Owen had his arms wrapped around Tyla as they lay on the bed. He knew Rina would probably scream her head out if she came in and saw them in this position. But he had to do what was important and getting Tyla to sleep was very important at this moment. He ran his hand across her back and she relaxed against his touch. They lay side to side, her back pressed closely against his chest, while his arm was wrapped around her waist. “Owen” she called, her voice a little bit groggy. He could tell that she was almost falling asleep. “Hmm” he replied and she was silent for a while, the beeping sound of the machines in the room being the only sound audible. She sighed loudly before she finally spoke up. “Do you think bad people deserve to be loved too?” She asked and he was taken back by her question. He didn't think she would actually ask him something like this. “Yeah” he answered sincerely “Everybody deserves to be loved” he added. She wanted
